Chapter 686: Chapter 472: My Storage Space Holds Everything!_2

But now, after truly confirming this point, he found himself somewhat doubtful and a bit unaccustomed.

"This world is thirty-seven years later..."

Lin Yue sat in the chair, taking a deep breath.

This place was definitely no longer the original Earth.

This was an unfamiliar human homeland thirty-seven years later, filled with an unimaginable number of Secret Realm Beasts.

Humans need to be prepared to return to this place.

Start from scratch.

Truly, starting over, from zero.

Everything has fallen into absolute desolation, just like this airport.

Even if he hadn’t been here to sweep through, perhaps in a few years, it might be completely destroyed by a typhoon, or some disaster like an earthquake.

With this in mind, Lin Yue shook his head and stood up.

He reached out again to those other machines that appeared to be made of alloy, disassembling them and storing the parts into his Storage Space.

After sweeping through one last time and confirming there was nothing more worth taking, Lin Yue flew back to the Ancient Secret Realm Gate.

There were nine hours left, but exhausted as he was by now, he no longer wished to continue doing anything.

These fifteen hours of frantic collecting had indeed been fruitful, but they had also taken a severe toll on his mental and physical state.

When he returned to the Shelter again, it was already late at night there.

Lin Yue placed the items collected this last time in the empty space farther away, and looked at Bai and the others who had been waiting for him for a while, and tiredly walked towards the treasure chest area.

The lizardman sweat and blood on his body had been applied before it got dark in the Secret Realm, so he needn’t worry about being suddenly hit in the face by some flying mutated creature.

Even if there were any, they would be taken down by Bai and the others.

Lin Yue forced himself towards those treasure chests placed in the open air, quickly and unemotionally storing the contents into his Storage Space.

Thankfully, the largest thing from the Copper Treasure Chest turned out to be just a Soilless Cultivation Kit. For the other items, there was no worry as they were mostly things like compasses, flashlights, batteries, etc.

There were more items such as food and water, which were also easy to handle and did not take much space.

After a couple more trips, he placed everything into various storages, nearly stuffing them to the brim, thus concluding the treasure chest haul.

As for the rewards promised to Bai and Xiao Meng and the Little Ice Lizards who opened the most treasure chests, Lin Yue decided to place them directly in the opening area; if they felt up for it, they could open them.

He felt that this trip had really drained him physically.

Staring at the unchanged Exclusive Ancient Secret Realm Gate, after finishing everything, Lin Yue took a few steps towards the Shelter’s direction and suddenly stopped.

He had forgotten something.

"Gawu?"

Bai looked at the master heading back again, feeling curious, and followed Lin Yue back.

"Bai, do you want to witness this?" Lin Yue took a deep breath.

He pushed open the Ancient Secret Realm Gate once more and simultaneously came outside, flew a short distance, and landed on the runway of the airport.

Bai also came by his side, quietly listening to the sound of waves crashing and breathing in the salty sea breeze blowing from the ocean.

Lin Yue placed several torches on the ground, forming a bonfire.

And in this firelight, Lin Yue and Bai’s faces were cast in flickering shadows.

Lin Yue took out a dagger, and Bai had already guessed that the master’s return this time had something to do with this.

"Bai, what’s about to happen next will change a lot of things."

"Gawu." Bai nodded, recalling the confusion and chaos on that morning when the master faced a wound that could heal itself, something it had never seen.

The master had said that in such a state, he did not count as a "human."

At least, not a normal human.

Bai looked at the master, knowing he was searching for answers.

"The moment to verify my thoughts seems to start now, Bai. Thankfully you’re by my side."

As Lin Yue spoke, the dagger in his hand gently glided over his finger, then his arm.

Two slashes, one long and one short, appeared instantly as a searing pain shot through.

Red blood flowed along the wounds, and Lin Yue took out an alcohol swab, gently wiping it.

The blood was wiped away.

Yet the wounds remained.

Lin Yue looked up at Bai, who was also surprised.

This scenario was identical to the situation when they got injured defeating the Mythical Giant Beast.

"Bai, we must go back now!"

Urging Bai, Lin Yue returned to the front of the Ancient Secret Realm Gate again, opening the door and returning with Bai.

Then, he took out a torch again.

The pain in his arm and finger still remained, yet under the torchlight, those two wounds were healing before his eyes at a visible speed!

Lin Yue’s heart pounded fiercely.

He knew another secret.

The self-healing ability was completely ineffective in the Secret Realm, or rather, on Earth.

In other words, when he was in the Secret Realm, or rather, on Earth, he could bleed, get injured, and die just like a normal human.

In the Otherworld, this ability made him invulnerable and immortal.

"If I can find a way to return completely to Earth, then I can restore my original normal human body?"

He transformed from worry and doubt, gradually turning into excitement, even ecstasy!

To restore to being ordinary from being extraordinary!

If it were someone else, Lin Yue thought they would enjoy the immense boost that extraordinary power brings, yet he himself didn’t like it.

Humans get injured, they bleed, they leave scars.

A human severely wounded dies.

These are the greatest expressions and characteristics of a normal human.

Yet, in this Otherworld, he possesses a powerful force akin to "self-healing" that makes him less human.

Sure, being extraordinary is great.

Self-healing is also great, with no worries of getting hurt or bleeding.

This made everything in the Otherworld more competitive and stronger.

But Lin Yue always felt this extraordinary power made him unlike a human.

But something else entirely.

He even considered.

Currently, this ability still allows him to feel the pain of being wounded, to experience what might be the last "similarity" to being human, but who knows when this pain might disappear?

Then, he would truly not be human anymore.

If, someday everyone returns to Earth and this ability still exists, would it make him an immortal, uninjurable monstrous human form?

Those entanglements, that confusion, and bewilderment all stemmed from this.

But now.

This matter has taken a turn.

In the Secret Realm, or on Earth, the self-healing ability becomes ineffective!

"It seems I’ve gained another reason for humanity to return to their homeland, away from this disaster-filled Otherworld."

Lin Yue said, taking a deep breath.

Previously, he had no desires, even saying that after becoming the number one on the world leaderboard and occupying the position for so many days,

He had no grand ambitions.

If there was one, it was simply the words "to survive."

Even before encountering the Mythical Giant Beast, he felt that he had little to do, and if Fei Yue wanted to achieve something, he’d help this person to save the world.

But now, it’s entirely different.

"Being selfish, even just for myself, I must find the method to return completely!"

Lin Yue extinguished the torch, wiping away the bloodstains.

He and Bai exchanged a glance under the moonlit night.

The pain in his arm and finger slowly faded, but at this moment, his heart was more resolute than ever!

"Bai, when the time comes, how about finding a place to live in seclusion with me? Earth is much better than here."

"Gawu!" Bai nodded vigorously.

As long as it’s the master’s wish, it would also charge forward fearlessly!
