I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?

That woman just now—no, that skeletal calamity—wasn't its ability called [Spatial Beacon]?

I ate it myself.

Does that mean...?

Did I also acquire this ability?

Once the idea popped into Jiang Luo's head, it took root and sprouted rapidly in his mind.

Although I don't know if the woman's claim of having this ability is true or false, it is definitely the only way to quickly return to Dongzhou right now!

Thinking of this, Jiang Luo immediately suppressed his eagerness.

Then, he closed his eyes and concentrated all his mental energy.

He began to try to sense and invoke the power belonging to the [Spatial Beacon] that he had just devoured.

At first, there was nothing.

In his spiritual world, there remained that familiar golden ocean composed of pure power.

Jiang Luo did not give up.

He patiently searched the golden ocean like a master hunter, meticulously looking for any "foreign object" that didn't belong there.

at last.

After an unknown amount of time.

In the deepest part of that golden ocean, he found an extremely faint, yet real, black dot of light emanating spatial fluctuations.

found it!

Jiang Luo was overjoyed and immediately mobilized his spiritual power, carefully enveloping the black dot of light.

The moment his spiritual power came into contact with that point of light.

A massive flow of information about the laws of space instantly flooded into his mind.

This is real!

That calamity's power is indeed this!

Jiang Luo looked at it carefully.

"[Spatial Beacon]: Allows you to open a teleportation channel at designated coordinates..."

It turned out to be the case.

Jiang Luo understood instantly.

This capability is like a navigation software for fixed-point teleportation.

As long as he can construct an incredibly clear three-dimensional coordinate system in his mind and inject enough energy, he can directly open the door and pass through.

And the coordinates of Dongzhou City...

He closed his eyes, and the map of Dongzhou City, every street, every building, even his own building and room, appeared in his mind with unparalleled clarity.

right here!

Jiang Luo suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his clear black and white pupils.

Without the slightest hesitation, he activated his ability towards the incredibly clear coordinates in his mind!

hum!

The golden power within him, mixed with the newly acquired ominous spatial power, surged wildly.

My whole being, and the whole world, began to distort.

Teleport...

it has started!

Jiang Luo's face lit up with barely suppressed joy.

however.

After the teleportation ends...

He was stunned.

"?"

"No... what's going on?"

He looked down at himself, then looked around.

It was still that dilapidated temple.

He... remained in the same spot, without moving an inch.

This... was it a failure?

Why?

Jiang Luo's brows furrowed instantly.

My feeling just now was right.

The ability did indeed activate.

The teleportation did indeed occur.

Why do I stay in the same place after being teleported?

Could it be...?

Jiang Luo looked around, and as his Insight and Comprehension attributes combined and spun wildly, a bold guess formed in his mind.

To verify his hypothesis, he decided to give it a try.

This time, he did not attempt to teleport directly to Dongzhou.

Rather, it was a thought.

A golden light silently spread outwards from him.

His golden domain unfolded instantly.

It was just an experiment, so the area was only covered by the field, which was about ten meters in radius.

After doing all this, Jiang Luo closed his eyes again.

He locked onto the coordinates of Dongzhou City in his mind.

Then, activate your abilities!

[Spatial Beacon]!

hum!

The world is twisted again.

next second.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a new place.

here……

That's exactly where the edge of the domain he just created is!

"Just as I expected!"

A smile finally appeared on Jiang Luo's face.

He guessed right.

Although he did indeed gain the ability of [Spatial Beacon].

However, this ability can only be used within his domain!

In other words, the size of his domain determines the distance he can teleport.

"I see, that makes things easier."

Jiang Luo's lips curled up slightly.

Now that we know the principle, the rest is simple.

By maximizing the coverage area of ​​the domain and then using the domain as a springboard for continuous short-distance teleportation, you can return quickly!

With that in mind, Jiang Luo no longer hesitated.

The golden power in his right eye was unleashed without reservation at this moment!

"Open it for me, you bastard!"

boom!

An indescribable, overwhelming power, seemingly capable of turning the entire world gold, erupted from Jiang Luo's small body!

The golden light was no longer as silent as before.

Instead, like the Big Bang, it transformed into a golden storm that swept everything, expanding wildly in all directions at a terrifying speed that surpassed light and thought!

For an instant.

The entire dilapidated temple was completely engulfed by golden light.

Next, there was that eerie little town nestled in a depression in the ice field...

It's an endless expanse of the Arctic ice plains...

It is a vast continent covered with snow...

It is a surging, azure ocean...

Jiang Luo's senses extended infinitely outward along with that golden domain.

He "saw" a polar bear hunting under the ice.

He "saw" a giant whale swimming in the deep sea.

He "saw" a massive ship spanning the ocean.

He "saw" another continent, people of different skin colors and speaking different languages...

His territory is still expanding!

The speed did not decrease in the slightest!

Crossing continent after continent, traversing ocean after ocean...

at last.

He "saw" it.

He saw that familiar land.

I saw those familiar skyscrapers and that familiar moat.

I saw it...

His home.

however.

His work continues unabated.

It continued to expand, expand, and expand again...

Until the very end.

A huge, azure planet, its surface covered with a faint golden glow, appeared clearly and completely in Jiang Luo's "field of vision".

Jiang Luo: "..."

He was completely stunned.

His entire being, along with his thoughts, was plunged into an unprecedented and extreme shock.

"Holy crap?"

Jiang Luo couldn't help but swear.

"My domain...encompasses the entire planet?"

This result completely exceeded his expectations.

He thought his domain would expand, after all, he had consumed so much "good stuff".

But he never expected this.

It will be this big!

So big...it completely covers the Earth!

This "luxury buffet" in the Abyss of Nothingness, plus the final "main course" of the "Hopeless King" and the "dessert" of a skeleton...

Is the effect really that terrifying?

This is no longer a matter of quantitative change.

This is a complete and utter qualitative change!

After a brief moment of shock.

An indescribable surge of joy welled up in Jiang Luo's heart.

With this globally covered domain, the capabilities of that [space beacon] will no longer be limited!

He can appear in any corner of this planet in a fraction of a second!

He can return to Dongzhou instantly!

Go back to his parents!

With that in mind, Jiang Luo didn't waste another second.

He was about to activate his ability and teleport home immediately!

……

at the same time.

Dongzhou City, Xingchen Kindergarten.

It was a bright, sunny day with a clear blue sky.

But just now, the sky over the entire city of Dongzhou suddenly darkened.

That wasn't dark clouds obscuring the sun.

Instead... it was as if an unimaginably huge black curtain had covered the entire city, along with the sunlight.

The sudden darkness plunged the entire city into panic.

Cars on the road honked their horns indiscriminately, creating a deafening cacophony.

People on the street looked up in alarm at the deathly dark sky, their faces filled with fear and unease.

Followed by.

Rumble!

A violent earthquake struck without warning.

The entire city trembled violently.

The tall building swayed, and the glass shattered.

People screamed and cried as they ran out of the building, only to find an even deeper darkness outside.

The place where the tremors were felt most strongly was Xingchen Kindergarten.

Amidst countless horrified gazes.

In the center of the kindergarten playground, the plastic surface that was once filled with the laughter of children suddenly collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, the ground tore apart.

A colossal abyss, seemingly bottomless and capable of swallowing the entire world, appeared out of nowhere!

Thick streams of darkness, like gushing oil, surged forth from that abyss!

The black mist, carrying a terrifying aura that threatened to completely erase existence itself, rapidly spread in all directions.

City lights, car horns, people screaming...

Everything—sound, light, matter…

The moment they came into contact with the black mist, they were all silently swallowed up.

In the end, it vanished into nothingness.

A bustling, modern metropolis is being dragged into eternal silence by this darkness at a visible pace.

A massive, enormous shadow was rising from the bottomless abyss beneath the earth.

It seems to be composed of the end of the entire universe and the despair of all worlds.

Its appearance made the all-consuming darkness seem to have found a king.

it……

He is the Lord of Nothingness!

A true catastrophe of annihilation!

The real apocalypse...

At this moment, it has arrived!
