All the heavens, starting as the ruler of the universe

The little girl was floating in mid-air, and she looked to be about ten years old.

She was wearing a dress so dirty that its original color was indistinguishable, and her long hair cascaded down her back like a black waterfall.

Her eyes were closed, her face was very white, as white as paper, and her lips were bloodless.

Her body was slightly curled up, like an unborn baby still in its mother's womb.

A crack ran through her body at her chest.

A vertical, dark red crack, shaped like a large eye.

The edges of the crack were constantly wriggling, as if something was trying to squeeze outwards.

An insect poked its head out of the crack, its six legs desperately gripping the edge of the crack, trying its best to squeeze out.

It eventually squeezed out, fell to the ground, struggled a few times, got up, and ran outside.

After running a few steps, his body suddenly stiffened, and then, as if drained by something, he deflated and turned into a puddle of black water.

Another insect squeezed out, this one was bigger than the last one, its shell was oily black and shiny, and the barbs on its six legs were like steel needles.

It fell to the ground, stood firm, and ran outside. After running a dozen steps, it also turned into black water.

One after another, and another, most of the insects died as soon as they emerged, with only a small number surviving.

Those who survived wandered and lived in this vast underground space.

"She's the Insect Queen?" Zhang Jingyuan asked incredulously.

"Yes." Lin Yan stood beside him, starlight drifting from him and circling around the little girl, as if measuring something.

Then the starlight touched the spatial rift again.

Lin Yan frowned as he received the feedback from Starlight.

"Her special ability is to open a subspace portal, and on the other side of the portal is the world of insects."

"The fact that these insects haven't yet escaped and wreaked havoc on the ground is a result of her barely managing to keep them under control."

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Zhang Jingyuan looked at the dense swarms of insects in the enormous space and couldn't help but shudder.

If they all escape, everyone in Hurricane City will die unless a top expert intervenes.

He stood beside Lin Yan, looking at the little girl floating in mid-air.

Her brows were furrowed tightly, as if she were having a terrible dream. Her lips were moving, but no sound came out, and it was impossible to tell what she was saying.

"How long can she hold on?" Zhang Jingyuan asked.

"I don't know. She's been able to hold on for so long because of her willpower. If she doesn't want to keep going anymore, then..." Lin Yan didn't finish his sentence, but Zhang Jingyuan understood what he meant.

Lin Yan stepped forward, and starlight emanated from him, enveloping the little girl.

The starlight was like a blanket, gently covering the little girl from head to toe.

The crack in her chest throbbed once, then throbbed again, and then slowly quieted down, the edges no longer twitching.

"Let's go." Lin Yan turned and walked out. The little girl floated in the air and moved with Lin Yan's movements.

Zhang Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.

He glanced back at the enormous space, where the swarms of insects were still roaming, fighting, and gnawing at the walls.

When they reached the entrance of the passage, the insects began to move.

All the insects rushed frantically toward the entrance of the passage, surging in like a black, swarming mudslide.

However, the insects stopped at the entrance of the passage.

It didn't stop on its own; it was pressed down by something.

They lay on the ground, their shells cracking, their legs twitching, their bodies flattening as if being crushed by an invisible hand.

Then they began to die, one by one.

The carapace exploded, bodily fluids splattered everywhere, and the corpses piled up, blocking the way behind.

The insects behind climbed up, stepping on the corpses of their companions, until they reached the entrance of the passage, where they too died.

One after another, and yet another, no insect could cross that invisible line.

Not a single insect followed them out until they reached the exit of the underground parking lot.

"Run further away," Lin Yan said to Zhang Jingyuan, and then his body began to rise into the air.

Zhang Jingyuan was taken aback, then immediately changed the shape of his feet and ran off at full speed.

The mechanical structure of the legs spun wildly, and the hydraulic devices spewed out white gas, leaving a deep footprint in the ground with each step.

He ran a long way and continued running until Lin Yan's voice rang in his ears, "That's enough," at which point he stopped.

He turned around and saw that Lin Yan had already flown into the air.

Then Lin Yan began to glow, like a burning star.

The light grew brighter and brighter, so bright that Zhang Jingyuan had to squint.

The light pierced through the clouds, tearing a hole in them, and the light leaked through the hole, shining on the ground.

In the distance, the people in Hurricane City looked up.

The scavengers in the outer city stopped rummaging through the trash, and the residents of the inner city went to the windows. The city lord stood in the tallest building, looking in that direction through the glass. People dozens of miles away could see that light.

Then the light suddenly exploded.

A beam of light shot straight to the ground, like a solar flare hitting the earth.

The moment the beam of light struck the ground, a shockwave suddenly struck, knocking Zhang Jingyuan to the ground. Only then did he understand Lin Yan's intention in telling him to run further away.

When Zhang Jingyuan got up from the ground and looked over there, the underground parking lot was no longer there; it had now become a lake.

A lava lake.

The lava surged and bubbled, like a pot of boiling porridge.

The beam of light continued to shoot downwards, penetrating the rock layer, penetrating the groundwater layer, and penetrating even deeper.

All the insects, as long as they were still underground, turned to ashes in the pillar of light.

"Is this Brother Lin's strength?" Ao Qing's mouth dropped open.

That's right, how could Zhang Jingyuan forget to start a live stream so that the brothers in the group could take a look?

"It shouldn't be. The one Brother Lin came to my place last time was an avatar, so the one here should be too." Kara was very excited, though she didn't know why she was excited.

"This energy output is almost comparable to the energy of a small solar flare." Peter Parker did a simple calculation and found that the energy output was simply terrifying.

"If this energy were to detonate directly at the Earth's core, the Earth would explode with a bang."

"If we compare it to a solar flare, isn't the damage a bit small?" You Lingfeng asked.

"This is another terrifying aspect of Brother Lin. He controls all the energy within this space, so there is no impact on the surrounding area." Parker could see clearly that the surrounding area was only affected by the shockwave. The energy released by Lin Yan was concentrated and did not leak out at all.

Before the group could finish their discussion, Lin Yan had already flown to Zhang Jingyuan's side, with the little girl floating behind him.
