The Only Player in Infinite Terror

"Hey, Brother Jie, I think you're already the best player in our Zhongzhou team when you're at your peak," Ling Qi joked.

Zhang Jie waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile, "Don't tease me. Even at my peak, I couldn't be your match, let alone now. I'm lucky if I can even use five-tenths of my strength."

"Back in the biohazard world, countless voices echoed in my mind every moment; those were my followers."

"At first I tried to listen to their demands, but later I realized that even with a super processor like a god, I simply couldn't handle tens of millions of demands."

"Later, as the number of believers increased, the countless noises were driving me crazy."

"Even now that I'm back in the Main God Space, I still receive many prayers from believers."

Ling Qi was slightly taken aback: "Then, Brother Jie, in theory, the flow of time here in the Main God Space should be much faster than in the Biohazard World."

"Doesn't that mean that every second in the Main God Space, you'll have to handle several times, or even dozens of times, the number of believers' prayers?"

Brother Jie sighed with emotion: "No, it's probably because my divine avatar has already pre-processed all kinds of prayers."

"And perhaps it's also because the distance in time and space is too great?"

"I don't know the exact principle, but the number of prayers transmitted to me in the God's Space is actually much, much less."

"Thank goodness it's like this, otherwise I would have been driven crazy."

Ling Qi seemed thoughtful and casually comforted him, "Brother Jie, you'll get used to it eventually. With the divine authority around, there's no need to worry about not being able to handle the believers' prayers."

"But Brother Jie, you must be careful. You must always remember that you are a human being, not a god."

"Once you are brainwashed by the believers' faith, you will completely become the image of God that the believers imagine."

"In that case, you'll never be able to unlock your genetic potential again."

Brother Jie nodded solemnly: "I understand. The closer we are to God, the further we are from humanity."

"I finally became human again, but I don't want to become some kind of god."

"I will always tell myself that I am just playing the role of the God of Machines."

"It's good that you know what's going on, Brother Jie." Ling Qi nodded. "As the saying goes, those who become gods first become gods later. The fourth-level intermediate level who has lit up the light of the soul is also called a true god."

"When the time comes, if we want to ignite the light of our souls and become true gods, we might need you, Brother Jie, to share some of your divinity with us to replenish it."

Brother Jie patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything if the divine beings need it."

After Brother Jie finishes his training, Erii will be next.

Ling Qi took out the telekinetic floating cannon and handed it to Erii, explaining to her many matters concerning the return to the bio-world.

Although she was very reluctant, the sensible Erii obediently accepted the space bag from Zhan Lan after binding it to the telekinetic floating cannon, and exchanged it for three years of living days.

Upon returning, she looked at Ling Qi with a smile and said, "Lord 07, I can speak freely now!"

"Now, I no longer need to worry about hurting others with my words."

Ling Qi raised his hand and used telekinesis to pull Erii into his arms.

He had a thousand words he wanted to say to the girl he loved, but in the end he said nothing. He simply kissed her smooth forehead lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"Alright, it's my turn." Ling Qi let go of Erii and picked up his spatial bag.

After saying that, he waved to everyone, and after leaving 5,000 reward points as a precaution, he exchanged them all for ten years of time, as well as the blood of various high-level creatures and rare and precious materials.

Since Ling Qi has the most remaining reward points, he can redeem the most days of life.

"Ten years...heh...that's a really long time..." Ling Qi's mind was filled with countless thoughts.

"Will there be an answer?" He didn't even know who he was asking in his mind.

……

A familiar dizziness returned, and when he regained consciousness, Ling Qi found himself in front of a heavily guarded research base.

The moment he appeared, countless alarms blared throughout the base.

[WARNING! Unknown high-energy content detected!]

The researchers and guards at the base were on high alert, but soon, orders came from the Alliance's Yingzhou Regional Executive Director.

[Fire is forbidden, and any provocative action is prohibited. This is our savior; you must obey his commands.]

With a sweep of his mental energy, Ling Qi gained a general understanding of the landscape of half the Earth.

Having understood everything, he made a mental vow: "In this world, I will only be able to unleash one percent of my full potential over the next ten years."

"In exchange, my cultivation speed and comprehension will be enhanced during the period when the binding is in effect."

It seems that some unseen entity responded to Ling Qi and made this pact with him.

The restraints have taken effect.

Ling Qi did not feel weaker, but an invisible shackle was indeed placed on him.

Within these shackles, he can only unleash one percent of his full strength.

However, he can break free from this invisible shackle at any time if he wants to.

But as a price, all the bonds he established with his kind in this world will become invalid.

But Ling Qi didn't think that in the next ten years, this world, which was already completely under the control of the Central Continent Team, could present any danger that would force him to break free of his constraints.

Even if he can only unleash one percent of his current strength, he is still far stronger than when he returned to rack up points last time.

With his mental scanning ability covering thousands of kilometers, combined with his telekinetic magic eye, any danger would be eliminated even a hundred miles away.

Moreover, the mechanism by which the binding weakens his strength is more like reducing his influence on the outside world; his attributes and skills are not actually weakened.

Ling Qi didn't rush to find a place to cultivate. Instead, he went into the reception room of the base and sat down, waiting for his old friend to arrive.

Because he automatically gained the highest level of access to the base, Ling Qi was able to move forward without any obstacles.

The researchers looked at each other, almost unable to recognize who this god-like, perfect male creature was.

Minutes later, a fighter jet from Tokyo No. 2 landed at the base airfield.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Yingzhou Region pushed open the cockpit, jumped out of the fighter jet, and jogged all the way to the conference room.

Upon seeing that familiar figure, this high-ranking official almost knelt down, exclaiming, "Director Yuan, you're finally back!"

Ling Qi used his telekinesis to stop him, saying, "Matthew, you've really made something of yourself, becoming a high-ranking official."

The black governor's face showed only loyalty. "If it weren't for Director Yuan's recommendation back then, I would still be a mercenary captain in the Umbrella Corporation."

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with hiring a mercenary captain, but becoming the Alliance Governor offers me a much wider range of opportunities!"

Ling Qi's lips curled slightly. "I've looked into it a bit, and you've done a pretty good job as the Alliance Governor."

In the last few minutes, he used his mental power to scan the area. The Yingzhou region belonged to the Zhongzhou team, but according to Ling Qi's previous instructions, it was managed by the alliance.

Since Yingzhou was previously inhabited only by zombies, after the island was cleared, the Alliance relocated people from other places and established the Second New Tokyo City.

Matthew immediately stood up straight. "Your words are the greatest affirmation of my work!"
