"How did you get out of there? Isn't it dangerous inside!"
Lin Qingsong asked with concern.
He was now the number one ranked player in the world, far surpassing everyone else.
However, he also recognized Zhang Chen, who was ranked second in the world.
Although Zhang Chen's level was lower than his, Lin Qingsong did not dare to relax in the slightest.
His rise to the top was due to his cunning, caution, and the decisiveness to strike when the moment was right.
Moreover, everyone's talent and abilities were different, leading to natural counters and frequent instances of defeating opponents of higher levels.
Lin Qingsong dared not risk his life to challenge Zhang Chen.
Unless absolutely necessary, he would only act if he had a sure chance of winning; otherwise, he would retreat rather than engage.
"It's just a parallel world, nothing much!"
"It's best if the people from our world don't disturb their peaceful lives."
"Because the energy within us will diffuse into the parallel world, leading to unpredictable outcomes."
"In most cases, it will simply turn the parallel world into another doomsday world."
Zhang Chen, wearing the yellow ring, spoke in a calm tone.
He was currently at Stage 1 of the Beginner Inheritor level. When he saw Lin Qingsong, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Because Lin Qingsong had reached Stage 3 of the Beginner Inheritor level.
The higher the level, the more astronomically different the resources required for even a one-level difference.
Both of these individuals were monstrous talents, their levels far exceeding the third-ranked Intermediate Transcendent Stage 2 and the fourth-ranked Beginner Transcendent Stage 3.
The survivors ranked below them were no comparison to the top four.
Zhang Chen, with the yellow ring, considered himself to be leveling up extremely quickly, but he hadn't expected there to be someone even faster than him.
"So... is there anything fun in that world? It's quite a pity that I can't go, but if you could tell me stories about it, I'd be happy!"
Lin Qingsong sat cross-legged on the ground, his face full of curiosity.
"But... we aren't friends, and I don't even know you!"
Zhang Chen said hesitantly.
"It doesn't matter, we can become friends!"
"After all, this damned apocalypse seems like it will never end, so we have plenty of time to become good friends!"
"And if the two of us powerful individuals join forces, I believe the survivors will see a glimmer of hope in this doomsday!"
"As powerful individuals, isn't it our responsibility to give other survivors the faith to strive for survival?"
Lin Qingsong said righteously.
Since he awakened his puppet talent, he had completely retreated from direct combat.
Although he was behind all the attacks on other camps and the slaughter of survivors, it was a person named Qin Feng who took the blame.
This Qin Feng was a puppet controlled by Lin Qingsong, and he had even established a camp in the seventh walled city.
This was to better serve as a scapegoat.
All the deaths in the seventh city were attributed to Qin Feng.
Therefore, besides being the world's number one in level, Lin Qingsong had no good reputation, nor did he have a bad one; he maintained a very low profile.
"Do you really think so?"
Hearing Lin Qingsong's words, Zhang Chen's eyes lit up.
His words had perfectly captured what Zhang Chen had been thinking.
Zhang Chen excitedly glanced at Xila, who looked at him affectionately, with a foolish smile on her face.
To her, nothing else mattered as long as Zhang Chen agreed.
Whether Zhang Chen was a good person, a bad person, or if his actions were right or wrong, it made no difference to her.
"Of course, with our level of power, what else is there to pursue?"
"Do you want to become someone superior? The leader of a great camp, enjoying supreme power?!"
"Unlimited supplies, inexhaustible women?!"
"Fight against ultimate beings? While we can't do it now, with enough time, it's not impossible to eliminate those guys!"
"We have everything we could want, but if we want our lives to be more meaningful, we should do something grand and impactful! End this doomsday!"
Lin Qingsong continued his impassioned speech.
"That's right, Brother Lin, your thoughts are exactly the same as mine!"
"I also wish to end this doomsday, and it seems I've already found a way to do so!"
As Zhang Chen spoke, he subconsciously touched his chest.
It seemed as though something important was there.
Although Lin Qingsong couldn't see what was hidden beneath his clothes, he could tell from the thin cord around Zhang Chen's neck that it was likely a pendant of some sort, not very large.
"Really? That's great, let's end this doomsday together!"
"Let's create a beautiful future for the survivors!"
"What's your plan, tell me!"
Lin Qingsong said excitedly.
He wasn't excited about ending the doomsday, but rather because he felt he was close to finding Zhang Chen's secret weapon.
"I found a lot of materials left by the original inhabitants here in the walled city!"
"According to them, the original inhabitants transferred to the Lighthouse. As long as we find the Lighthouse, we can activate the doomsday-ending machine!"
Zhang Chen said slowly.
"Huh? That's it?"
Lin Qingsong chuckled dismissively and said,
"Brother Chen, you don't believe this nonsense, do you!"
"If the original inhabitants really had that ability, wouldn't they have ended the doomsday themselves? Why would they bring us here just to find them?!"
Zhang Chen first nodded approvingly, then gently shook his head and said,
"As expected of the world's number one expert, you hit the nail on the head."
"Of course, it's not that simple. Previously, the original inhabitants had been searching for something in a parallel world."
"But they all failed in the end. They believed that only a special person could be recognized by this item."
"I accidentally found this item, so the doomsday is about to end!"
Lin Qingsong stared intently at Zhang Chen and asked sheepishly,
"What is it? Can I see it?"
"Of course, we're joining forces to end the doomsday, so there should be some trust between us!" Zhang Chen said, then took off the necklace from his neck.
He opened his palm, revealing a crystal, about the size of a fingernail.
However, its multicolored light flowed gently, as if it contained a powerful and mysterious energy.
"Is this... the Wish Stone?!"
Lin Qingsong exclaimed, his eyes gleaming.
"How do you know about the Wish Stone?"
Before Zhang Chen could finish his sentence, he felt a powerful force surge towards him.
He raised his hand to block the attack, and when he looked again, the multicolored crystal was already in Lin Qingsong's hand.
"This doomsday, allow me to help you end it!"
"Don't worry, after you die, I'll take good care of the beautiful women around you!"
Lin Qingsong said with an evil grin.
