Chapter 1444: I Don’t Care About Your Excuses!

When Qin Feng spoke those words, the elderly King in Fire's eyes widened instantly: "This was my personal action, it has nothing to do with the Emberfire Civilization, ahhh…"

He panicked!

In that instant, he realized that every thought in his heart had been seen through by the 'Shadow' before him!

"I don't care about your excuses."

Qin Feng didn't even bother to listen: "Everything has a price; once done, you must face the consequences. Originally, your Emberfire Civilization only needed to obediently pay the protection fee, but because of your actions, many people's protection fees have been paid in vain…"

As his voice fell, Qin Feng had already raised his left hand!

His left hand was wreathed in black mist, like the hand of a death god, and he suddenly clenched it in the air!

"Stop… stop!"

The elderly King in Fire's eyes were nearly bursting; although he didn't know what Qin Feng was about to do, it certainly wasn't anything good!

Swoosh!

It was as if a slight breeze blew across the Main Star of the Emberfire Civilization… there were no surging flames, nor any crashing waves.

On the surface, the Main Star of the Emberfire Civilization suffered no damage at all.

However, the elderly King in Fire could already feel that half the regions on the Main Star seemed to have developed problems.

"Big boss, big boss, what did you do?"

Black Plum Da Lizi, standing nearby, was somewhat pleasantly surprised by Qin Feng's appearance, but also a bit confused by his actions.

She naturally couldn't feel it… but in half the regions of the Emberfire Civilization's Main Star, at least billions of Emberfire Civilization players had all been stripped of all desire!

In the past, Qin Feng wouldn't have been able to strip the desires of so many people at once.

But now, with the Sun Authority, all of Qin Feng's Divinity consumption was halved, allowing him to strip the desires of half the Emberfire Civilization players in one go!

A full 1.6 million Divinity was consumed in an instant.

Accompanying the desires of billions of players, it silently flooded into the black wings on Qin Feng's back and was stored away!

Cold Divinity was converted into cold desire, which could eventually be transformed into warm stats through 'Desirelessness Mind Flow'… but the Emberfire Civilization players who were stripped of their desire were different.

They lost all desire, becoming not even walking corpses, but merely living vegetables.

Facing Black Plum Da Lizi's question, Qin Feng said: "Nothing major, I just let half the population of the Emberfire Civilization stop being so tired and take a break to relax."

"Take a break?"

Black Plum Da Lizi tilted her head, still not quite understanding.

At this moment, the figure of a forest-white Bone Sword Wyvern flew up leisurely from the side: "Ma'am, taking a break means stripping away all desire so they don't have to think about anything. Isn't that relaxing?"

Stripping away all desire?

Black Plum Da Lizi was shocked upon hearing this, and for a moment, she didn't even notice the way Osirio addressed her.

After all, for players like them who had just undergone Ascension along with the Blue Star Civilization, many Authorities were very foreign.

The Desirelessness Authority, which could strip players of their desire and turn them into vegetables without any desire—she had naturally never heard of such a thing before!

Especially hearing that now… half the population of the entire Emberfire Civilization had been stripped of their desire!

Is this the current strength of 'Shadow'?

It wasn't just Black Plum Da Lizi.

At this moment, Wang Meng, An Yu, Gu Yixue, and the others had all heard Osirio's words, and their expressions became incredibly shocked.

In just a single instant, he could strip away all the desires of billions of players in a civilization!

Is… is he still human?

This already belongs to the realm of gods, right?

"Without realizing it, has the gap between us and the big boss become this vast?"

Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When Black Plum Da Lizi activated the effect of the Lucky Seed, the members of Wang Meng's team finally experienced the power of stats; everyone's output had multiplied by dozens or even hundreds of times.

This led them to discuss in their spare time whether Shadow's strength was simply that high.

In the past, Shadow could already solo and insta-kill all kinds of powerful BOSSes.

It was precisely because of such heaven-defying stats!

Now, their stats had finally caught up somewhat, at least giving them the subjective feeling of catching up to the former 'Shadow'.

They had all been guessing what level 'Shadow's' stats had reached now.

A thousand times stronger than them? Ten thousand times?

But they never expected… that the current 'Shadow' had already completely transcended the realm of stats!

This method of instantly stripping the desires of billions of players in a civilization was an effect that no matter how high one's combat stats were, they could never achieve!

Wang Meng and the others, who had just taken down two Immortal-grade BOSSes, had felt a brief moment of satisfaction, but it didn't last.

Because Qin Feng had immediately arrived, acting completely beyond human!

"It seems my intuition was right after all."

Wang Meng stepped onto a Steel Flying Disc and flew behind Qin Feng, looking at the elderly King in Fire in front of him with a cold laugh: "This old fellow really was plotting something. It seems we can't let our guard down no matter what…"

Undoubtedly, this mindset was correct.

Even someone as strong as Qin Feng maintained vigilance toward everything around him most of the time.

"Red Lulu, come to these coordinates."

Qin Feng opened his friend list and sent his coordinates to Red Lulu.

Soon, a beautiful woman responsible for managing the Emberfire Civilization appeared before Qin Feng.

In fact, Red Lulu had just felt the great upheaval in the Emberfire Civilization and was feeling somewhat uncertain when she received Qin Feng's private message, so she naturally rushed over immediately.

"Lord Shadow, did this old fellow provoke your civilization?"

Red Lulu arrived on the scene, scanned the situation, and already had an idea of what was happening. She immediately approached Qin Feng and bowed.

"Something like that."

Qin Feng nodded and waved his hand casually: "Now, designate half the regions of the Emberfire Civilization as restricted zones. You will be responsible for handling those who have lost their desire… Oh, and take our Blue Star friends with you to collect the lifespan of those players."

"Reporting, Boss, can I go with them?"

An expectant voice came from above. It was Grey Chicken, eager and looking expectantly at the Snow-White Owl hidden in Gu Yixue's embrace.

As soon as Grey Chicken had come out, it had chased after Cat Head.

As a result, it had scared her, and she had hidden directly in Gu Yixue's arms… this made things difficult for Grey Chicken.

No matter how much it liked Cat Head, it couldn't exactly pull her out from the 'Ma'am's' embrace!

But as long as they acted together, they could surely improve their relationship, right?

"No."

Qin Feng chuckled and raised his hand to recall the fellow back into the pet space.

After all, he intended to tackle the Level 80 Path to the End in a moment, and he might need Grey Chicken's help; how could he let it stay here leisurely chasing 'girls'?
