Ou Chen turned his head and saw a young man walking toward him slowly.
This young man wore a white robe and had black hair. His figure was slender, and he had an outstanding presence. With a longsword in his hand, he looked suave and elegant!
“Damn!” Ou Chen spurted out foul words. He was so shocked that he almost knelt down! This Demon Lord did not die! Is it true that a scourge never dies?
Ou Chen was shocked, and so were all the Temple of Light’s people. They stared so hard that their eyeballs almost fell out!
Link led two Stage Four bosses deep into the mountain range. There was no chance he could live. Even a Stage Four fighter might not be able to escape!
Yet, this man was currently well and alive in front of everyone’s eyes!
Who could believe it? Everyone only felt as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt. Their minds were blank, scalps were numb, and ears full of a buzzing sound!
Even the Temple of Light’s Stage Four powerhouses—Elder Tian and Wu Hao—both drew a cold breath in unison, completely surprised!
“Link... You’re still alive?” asked Elder Tian in surprise.
Expressionless, Link nodded slightly.
“Brother Link, you’re my elder brother from now on! You were actually able to survive two Stage Four monsters’ attacks! You’re amazing!” Ou Chen said excitedly.
Finally, Elder Tian and Wu Hao slowly recovered from their shock and looked at each other with doubt and speculation!
They were no longer greenhorns. They had experienced a lot, and their depth of thought was naturally different.
Both of them had clearly felt an extremely terrifying aura in the mountain range’s depths. They suspected that it had come from an existence superior to a Stage Four monster.
In addition, they heard the announcement ring out after Link left. Hence, both powerhouses had an extremely alarming speculation in their minds—could it be that the [Death Judge] mentioned in the announcement was Link?
But they were really not sure. After all, it was too startling!
The aura emanating from Link was only of a Stage Three existence. Compared to the Stage Five monster, there was still a vast difference between both ranks! It was an unbridgeable chasm!
No matter how powerful Link was, he would never be able to cross-level kill such a monster at his current stage!
Elder Tian swallowed hard and tried to approach the subject without going straight to the point.
Link had lived two lives as a human. He would naturally not reveal anything; he would keep them guessing.
Everyone returned to Dragon City, prepared to go their own ways.
Ou Chen originally wanted to follow Link to hear his stories of how he escaped from the monsters. However, the Temple of Light’s [Son of Light] did not have much influence. He was soon dragged away by others—who were ordered by Elder Tian.
After all, Link was still a powerhouse even if he wasn’t the [Death Judge] mentioned in the announcement!
How many Stage Three Evolvers in the world could kill a Stage Four powerhouse and escape from two Stage Four monsters’ clutches?
The Temple of Light naturally wanted to have a good relationship with such a powerful person!
After Link bade farewell to the Temple of Light’s people, he returned to Mingshi Hospital with Xue Linglong and Luo Xingyao.
The city covering Mingshi Hospital’s ten-mile radius had now taken shape and was nearing completion. After all, with more than 1,000 Doomsday players as laborers—including Evolvers of various professions—the construction progressed at quite an extraordinary speed.
This was just the city prototype; it was also the center of the city.
Once they survived the upcoming siege, the city would get the opportunity to keep expanding outward!
In Link’s previous life, some human main cities even covered thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. They were so huge that they could accommodate many, many living beings.
Seeing that Link was back, Fatty Lu Da hurriedly ran toward him and said in a low voice, “Brother Link, awesome! First kill on a Stage Five monster! That caused a world-wide announcement, and the entire world is in a frenzy now!”
Link smiled at his best friend—whom he had played with since childhood—and then looked at the thick city walls.
Lu Da immediately understood, restrained himself from smiling too much, and said solemnly, “Brother Link, the city can be totally completed today. Myth-grade material black gold was used, so the degree of sturdiness is extraordinary. Even Stage Four monsters won’t be able to destroy it easily.”
Link nodded slightly at Lu Da’s words and waved his hand to form a radiant sword aura while facing the black wall!
Boom!
The golden sword aura fell on the thick walls, and the sound of iron clashing could be heard!
This ink-black wall was extremely sturdy. Link’s sword aura barely left a shallow sword mark on it.
Such sturdiness was superb!
One should know that Link’s attributes were enough to crush a Stage Five powerhouse! Any of his attacks could easily split mountains and break rocks! But even his attack did not cause great damage to the wall, which showed its sturdiness.
Of course, this was also the reason why Link did not use his full strength.
Link was satisfied with the wall. Moreover, he had the [Bead of Thunder Punishment] that could affect large areas, further enhancing the wall’s durability when used together.
Today was already the eighth day of the apocalypse.
Having lived two lives, Link clearly knew that the Scourge army would attack the city soon.
When the day was over, [Doomsday Online] would undergo a twenty-four-hour version update.
When the tenth day began, the terrifying Scourge would conduct a siege. It would be a sea of Undead; there would even be a variety of terrifying Stage Four and Stage Five monsters among them!
Countless human strongholds were trampled to pieces by the Scourge during this siege!
Dragon City was no exception.
The old, the weak, the women, and the children wailed under the Undead’s slaughtering knives. Blood flowed, limbs and flesh were scattered all over the place, and the world was like a purgatory!
The survivors were forcefully exiled into the wilderness...
The scene from Link’s past life flashed in his mind. Link clenched his fist, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes!
In this life, Link would not let the tragedy repeat itself! He would build a city that would never fall!
...
The huge city wall and moat was soon completed. It looked like a black beast had horizontally stretched itself between the sky and the ground!
Link walked into the grand and imposing City Master’s Hall, which was converted from Mingshi Hospital.
Yang Xuerou, Qiao Ruowei, Luo Xinghe, Xue Linglong, and the others fanned out in the hall and stared at Link solemnly. Their eyes revealed different emotions, and the atmosphere was incomparably heavy.
There was hope, reverence, determination, loyalty... They wanted to stick with this man and re-establish a home for humanity in this cruel apocalyptic world! They would not hesitate to risk their lives!
In the center of the hall, Link wore the same solemn expression as he took out the City Building Token.
At this moment, the City Building Token flickered with a strange light as it was suspended in the air.
A system notification sounded.
[Detected usage of the City Building Token. Please name the city.]
Link had already thought of a name for the city, so he spoke without hesitation. “I will build an immortal city, a city that will never fall. Hence, it shall be named Unfallen City!”
[Naming completed.]
Following the system notification, the Unfallen City existed between heaven and earth as of today!
“Unfallen City!”
“Unfallen City!”
...
With glistening eyes, Yang Xuerou, Qiao Ruowei, Xue Linglong, and the others chanted the name in a low voice.
