You want me to play the Foehn wind? Are you kidding me?

Lu Feng was still waiting for the system's response when a golden light suddenly appeared in the void.

Light surged in from all directions, converging around him to form a blurry outline, as if drawing a circle to enclose him.

"What is this?"

[The National Destiny Game's forced teleportation protocol has triggered an emergency protection mechanism due to the host's recent act of destroying a planet. All Chosen Ones are being recalled.]

"Recall? Back where?"

[Blue Star]

"Didn't you bring me in?"

So what?

"You're really being sarcastic now."

Thank you for the compliment.

"Fang Xing and the others aren't dead?"

[No]

"Is that so...?"

Are you very sad?

"Um...no, I just wanted to see if they could increase the level of acting."

[......]

Lu Feng did not resist, letting the golden light envelop him.

The moment the teleportation began, the debris cloud left by the planet in the void shrank rapidly before his eyes, as if someone had reversed the scene, making it farther and farther away, fainter and fainter, until it finally disappeared into a golden-white halo.

The feeling of weightlessness lasted for about two seconds, then his feet touched solid ground.

He opened his eyes.

Lu Feng stood in his rented room. Nothing much had changed around him except that the furniture was covered in a layer of dust.

……

The live stream from Blue Star's Dragon Kingdom was cut off when that planet exploded.

The game proactively cut off all external live streaming signals, leaving only a line of cold, golden text on the screen.

[Due to special circumstances, this game has ended early, and all Chosen Ones have been recalled. Please wait for further announcements for details.]

The 1.4 billion viewers in the live stream just stared at that line of text in silence for a long time.

The comments scrolled intermittently after the text appeared, in small numbers and at a slow pace.

"it's over?"

"It should be, he said all the Chosen Ones have been recalled."

"That planet..."

"That's all."

"Where are Fang Xing and Han Ya?"

"They should have returned safely."

"And...what about him?"

"They should be back by now? The announcement said all the Chosen Ones."

"So...he went back to Earth?"

No one could answer the last comment in the live chat.

Bingbing stood in front of the now-blacked-out camera, her knuckles white as she held the microphone in her hand.

She stared at the line of golden text on the screen for a long time before speaking, her voice very soft.

"He's back?"

Mr. Li sat in the guest seat, his hands clasped in front of his lower abdomen, his fingertips slightly white.

He stared at the black screen and remained silent for a long time.

"We don't know. We don't even know if he's from our universe or planet."

Almost simultaneously, supernatural ability associations, training grounds, and family residences across the country received another notification from the National Fortune Game after the live stream was cut off.

The notification was very simple.

[All chosen ones have returned. The first phase of this national destiny game has ended due to special circumstances. The second phase will begin in 48 hours.]

When Fang Xing and Han Ya were teleported back to Earth, they were standing in a huge white space.

Fang Xing was stunned for a long time. He looked down at his hands, then looked around, and then suddenly turned to look at Han Ya.

"That planet..."

Han Ya nodded, her face pale.

"That's all..."

Why did he...?

"have no idea."

The two stood in the empty white space, neither of them speaking.

The world outside is in turmoil because of what they are going through.

……

Lu Feng stood in the rented room, his gaze sweeping over the dusty furniture.

It's exactly the same as before I left.

He walked to the window and drew back the curtains.

It was evening outside, the sky was getting dark, and the streetlights were already on.

He stood by the window for a few seconds, then turned around, walked to his desk, sat down, and turned on his computer.

"I haven't touched electronic devices in ages, I'm so glad I can finally get my hands on one again!"

The computer booted up successfully, and then he saw the trending topics list.

First place: #Foehn Wind#

Second place: #National Fortune Game Phase 1 Ends#

Third place: #Why did he shatter the planet beneath his feet?#

Fourth place: #BandagedMan#

Fifth place: #The Great Lord of Annihilation#

Lu Feng's lips twitched.

He clicked on the top trending topic.

The screen was filled with his screenshots, videos, fan art, and discussion posts.

Some people edited together clips of him splitting starships and added background music, some made wallpapers of him standing in front of debris clouds, and some wrote long analysis posts speculating about his origins and strength.

He slid down and then saw what made his finger stop on the scroll wheel.

A short video.

The title is: "Learn the technique of wrapping a fennec bandage in three minutes".

In the video, a young man is seen wrapping a white bandage around his head in front of a mirror. The bandage is wrapped crookedly, like an unwrapped rice dumpling.

The comments section was flooded with messages like "I'm dying of laughter," "Please stop bothering me," and "You can imitate him, but you can't learn his charisma."

Lu Feng remained silent for a moment, then scrolled down again.

The next picture is of a cosplayer wearing custom-made white bandages and black pants, with black paint on the right side of her body and bandages wrapped around her head.

It looked quite similar, but then the person burst out laughing, revealing half of their curved mouth beneath the bandage.

Next, continue.

A cosplayer stands in the park, striking a pose as if Lu Feng is raising his hand to draw his sword.

There were people shouting nearby.

"Yes! That's the look! Make it even colder!"

Looking at the picture, Lu Feng suddenly felt his right hand twitch...

I gave it a thumbs up.

"That's awesome, aren't they afraid I'll come and chop them up with a knife?"

Just a quick comment.

"Dude, you're pretty awesome! Your cosplay is spot on. I'm rooting for you."

He closed the page, but the trending topic remained.

#Sales of the bandage worn by the Great Lord of Annihilation surged by 3000%#

#Fenfeng Makeup Tutorial#

#Which cosplay costume manufacturer ships the fastest?#

He opened a cosplay video where a cosplayer was imitating his "splitting a starship in two" move.

A plastic stick was waved out of the camera's view, and then the person in the cosplay stood there, with a blinking eye peeking out from behind the bandages.

"Hahaha! Bandaged Guy would be ready to chop someone up if he saw this!"

Lu Feng opened another post titled "Analysis of the Annihilation Lord's Combat Power! Can He Destroy Blue Star!"

He glanced at it; the comments section was filled with all sorts of imaginative debates from netizens. Some had dug up clips of him splitting asteroids and destroying the planet beneath his feet for frame-by-frame analysis, while others were comparing him to the strongest fighters on Earth. The final conclusion was: "Absolutely!"

Lu Feng didn't say anything more, leaning back in his chair and looking at the constantly refreshing topics on the screen.

"Fine, at least they don't take me seriously, so I won't either."
