Sago Nehru, beads of sweat trickling from his forehead, felt his heart quaking in fear. The terrifying, bloodthirsty killing intent in the eyes of the approaching figure, that sharp and icy gaze—it was simply unbearable, just like the gaze of the golden-horned beast that had once terrified all of humanity during the global live broadcast!
Sago forced a faint smile: “L-Luo Feng, you’re actually still alive! This is simply—”
“In this world, there are countless villains, but to sink to your level of depravity—” Luo Feng’s gaze turned glacial. In an instant, an invisible thread of psychic energy, sharp as a needle, shot straight into Sago’s consciousness. The tiny planet within his mindscape shattered like fragile tofu—utterly pierced!
Boom!
Sago’s eyes widened in terror before his body slumped lifelessly to the ground.
Glancing down at Sago’s corpse, Luo Feng’s figure flickered and vanished from the doorway.
…
High in the sky.
Luo Feng stood atop the Sky Piercer, streaking like a beam of light toward the United States.
From birth until now, Luo Feng had never been a soft-hearted fool, nor a hero seeking justice. But—he had his own principles. Though there were many scoundrels in the world, Luo Feng would not go around punishing everyone out of some sense of justice. After all, where there was light, there was also darkness.
However, the faction led by Atkin, Sago Nehru, and Yan Hai enraged Luo Feng the most—they had threatened and openly attacked the families and loved ones of fallen heroes.
“Murhenderson, East, Trilpati Singh, Jia Yi, Sokolov—you died honorably.”
“And yet these three bastards have denied you peace even in death. I will not allow it!”
Luo Feng gazed toward the distant American continent. According to Babata’s infiltration of the global surveillance system, Atkin was currently in the Washington base city of the United States!
…
In the Washington base city, due to the time difference, it was already deep into the night.
A luxury car pulled to a stop by the roadside.
“He’s arrived!” Hearing the voice on the phone, Atkin’s eyes widened.
“No good, Luo Feng is alive! He’s really back!” Cold sweat beaded Atkin’s forehead as thoughts raced through his mind. There was no doubt—Luo Feng had first killed Yan Hai, then Sago Nehru, and now he was surely coming for Atkin next.
“What should I do?! What should I do?!”
Luo Feng was ruthless and powerful! Atkin grew increasingly anxious, beads of sweat forming on his forehead and back.
He was in a desperate situation—no matter how he thought about it, death seemed inevitable.
“Capture his family as hostages? No, there’s a metal robot at his home that can stop me. And traveling from the United States to China would take too long—I’m not as fast as Luo Feng, I’d definitely be intercepted en route!” Atkin considered various plans, only to discard each one rapidly.
“There’s no escape! The Earth is this small, and with Luo Feng’s abilities, I have nowhere to run!!!”
Atkin gritted his teeth. “I have no choice but to do this!”
Immediately, Atkin grabbed his phone and dialed urgently: “Gather all the major media outlets in Washington base city immediately! And through our HR Alliance, notify media outlets in every base city across the globe…”
…
This night was destined to be restless.
Atkin, the Earth’s number one figure and HR Alliance chairman, was about to begin his final struggle for survival!
…
In the largest square of Washington base city—Freedom Square—media vehicles arrived one after another in the dead of night. The high-decibel broadcast sound jolted countless American citizens from their sleep. Seeing the giant screen in the square light up, and the large number of vehicles gathering, many residents rushed downstairs.
“The HR Alliance Council Chairman is about to announce a shocking message that will shake the entire world.”
“In the next moment, the entire globe will be stunned.”
“Yes, do not doubt it—the HR Alliance Council Chairman, currently the strongest human on Earth, is about to publicly announce a major revelation.”
“…”
The media immediately began broadcasting.
On the giant screen in Freedom Square, scenes from the past were displayed—the fierce battle between Hong, Thunder God, and the Mosha Beast, and the scene of the ‘Eight Heroes’ diving into the ocean. Detailed profiles of each of the eight heroes also appeared.
“Why is the screen showing the deeds of the Eight Heroes? Could the announcement be related to them?”
“Could Hong and Thunder God, who had been in comas, have awakened?”
First, the residents of the high-rise buildings around the square began gathering downstairs.
…
Across Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Africa, the HR Alliance had influence in every region, even directly controlling some media outlets. Today, Atkin had gone all out, pouring money into other media outlets to ensure that broadcasts across the globe would air simultaneously!
Pop-up windows appeared on every major online portal.
It was night in the United States!
But in the EU, it was morning. In China and India, it was the hottest part of the day.
With live broadcasts covering television and the internet, countless people around the world were instantly made aware.
“What’s going on? What big news is this?”
“It’s actually being announced personally by the HR Alliance Council Chairman?”
Across the globe, people watching TV or browsing the internet were immediately alerted. Even those busy working or sleeping were woken by friends.
Clearly, something huge was about to be announced!
…
In Freedom Square, Washington base city.
“Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome the HR Alliance Council Chairman, Mr. Atkin!”
Under the spotlight, surrounded by cameras, Atkin, dressed in a white shirt and black suit, stepped forward. The aura of cosmic energy he exuded naturally silenced the crowd. This was clearly a being beyond a Warlord, someone ordinary people could only look up to.
“Friends watching this global broadcast, everyone.”
Atkin’s face was filled with excitement. “Today, I will first introduce someone to you all!”
“He is a genius, the youngest Mentalist to surpass the Warlord level!”
“He once single-handedly killed dozens of King-class beasts and even a Beast Emperor.”
“He engaged in the final battle with the Mosha Beast, killing it and saving humanity from catastrophe!”
“Who is he?” Atkin’s voice was filled with excitement.
At the same time, the giant screen behind him displayed footage of Luo Feng from the time of the Eight Heroes! His glorious history, countless photos, texts, and videos appeared on the screen one after another.
“Yes! He is Luo Feng!”
“The most brilliant and greatest genius on Earth!” Atkin’s voice rose with passion.
In front of television and online broadcasts.
Countless people around the world felt as if they had returned to over a year ago, to that era when humanity feared the end was near. In their hearts, the Eight Heroes were saviors. Among them, Luo Feng, the youngest who had delivered the final blow, was especially revered and admired.
“I admire him, I revere him. I grieved for his loss, I regretted his loss… Humanity has lost a peerless genius!”
Atkin suddenly took on an enigmatic tone. “But have any of you noticed something peculiar? From start to finish, no one has ever recovered Luo Feng’s remains! Back then, the mighty warriors who ventured into the abyssal depths only encountered the carcass of the Mosha Beast—never Luo Feng’s body!”
Silence!
The entire Freedom Square fell into stunned silence, then erupted into uncontrollable, excited chatter!
“That’s right! Your guesses are correct!”
Atkin’s voice soared. “The news I am here to announce today is… the greatest genius on Earth, ‘Luo Feng,’ is still alive!!! Yes, he is still alive!!!”
Boom!
The entire Freedom Square exploded into chaos!
Boom!
Across the globe, countless people in front of televisions and computers erupted into excitement!
At this moment!
The entire Earth was in an uproar!
…
In the living room of Luo Feng’s home in China.
Beside a baby crib, Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, and the nanny were all staring at the television screen.
“The greatest genius on Earth, ‘Luo Feng,’ is still alive!!! Yes, he is still alive!!!” The fervent voice from the television, accompanied by the thunderous cheers from the live audience, sent Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan—who had been holding their breaths in tense anticipation—bursting into tears of joy.
“Hurry, call Xiaoxin back!”
“Notify Xiaohua!”
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan excitedly dialed their phones. Beside them, the two infants in the crib were gripping the bars, staring wide-eyed at the TV screen. One of them even pointed at Luo Feng’s photo on the screen and uttered a sound: “Baba… Ba…”
…
Luo Hua was in front of his office computer at work. Xu Xin was also sitting at her desk.
Both were staring intently at their respective computers.
…
Wei Wen, who had been taking a nap in the heat of the day, was dragged to the computer by his girlfriend.
“What?!”
Wei Wen’s mouth fell open in shock!
…
At the Pinnacle Training Camp, Jiang Fang, Luo Feng’s former teacher, was also watching the TV.
…
Janet, who had once pursued Luo Feng, and a young man who was pursuing her, had stopped on a pedestrian street, looking up at the giant screen.
…
Countless people across the globe were watching this moment unfold. The ‘Eight Heroes’ had already been like saviors, and with the media’s long-standing glorification, they had practically been deified. Now, the youngest and most brilliant among them was still alive? And this was being announced by the HR Alliance Council Chairman himself to the entire world.
“I was so excited by this news that I couldn’t sleep! So I couldn’t help but share this incredible, earth-shattering good news with everyone!”
“He is the hero I deeply respect!”
“Deeply respected!”
Atkin seemed overwhelmed with emotion at the thought of his idol being alive, while countless people in front of TVs, computers, and street screens were truly ecstatic. No one doubted Atkin’s words. To them, it was only natural to revere the Eight Heroes.
Suddenly—
A streak of light rapidly descended from above the Freedom Square, then slowed and gently descended. The entire square, including Atkin, fell silent.
Countless people in front of TVs and computers across the globe also fell silent.
The entire world fell silent.
All eyes turned to that figure!
He wore military pants and a simple tank top, his short black hair and deep, ocean-like eyes adding to his imposing presence. Slowly descending from the sky, his invisible aura could even be felt through the screens.
