I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 644: Divine Might?

This battle made every nation in the world clearly realize how fragile their lives are in the face of absolute power. Since its appearance and evolution, life has always been extremely cautious, trembling with fear.

From the Cambrian, Ordovician, and Devonian periods, life endured extinction after extinction. New life emerged only to be wiped out again, and species after species disappeared. Ultimately, what life strives for and works hard for is nothing but survival.

Survival has already become a luxury, to say nothing of civilization.

The emergence of humanity is a miracle, and for a civilization to continue unscathed to the end without suffering any catastrophe is an even more unlikely miracle. Since their appearance, humans have faced countless disasters, but this time, it was the closest they have ever come to extinction.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, their legs trembling with fear after the fact.

It was precisely because they had experienced such terror that the joy of surviving felt so intense, so crazed.

Although 99.9% of people did not even know what had happened, some even thought that yesterday was just as sunny and bright as the day before.

They enjoyed the afternoon sun, walking among the shadows of trees and falling leaves, looking back at their children’s joyful running and hearing their crisp laughter, they would sigh, "Times are peaceful."

But they did not know that just yesterday, they had narrowly escaped death.

The destruction of two cities and the annihilation of a transcendent and sacred International Security Council. Millions of people died in an instant, all of which was suppressed by the nations.

Because announcing it at this time would do nothing but cause panic. It is better to live in oblivion than to know everything and die. Lucifer is still alive, but his threat has been reduced to its lowest point.

Although Lucifer might still be the most powerful being on this earth, with power surpassing all in the Star Soul Realm, at least he has been dethroned. A Lucifer who is no longer a god cannot stop nuclear bombs, nor can he withstand the joint attack of more than five masters of the Star Soul Realm.

Lucifer, stripped of his Divine Power, must be hiding quietly in some corner, licking his wounds. Finding him will be difficult, but the whole world will not give up; even if they have to search every corner of the world, they will root out this threat.

「On the other hand, Jade Country.」

Inside the highest conference hall of the Forbidden City.

Wang Lan stood solemnly before the permanent members of the United Nations in his military uniform.

"On behalf of the highest council of White Eagle Country, I confer upon General Wang Lan the title of White Eagle Country’s Honorary Five-Star Senior General. You are the hero who saved the world, the supreme superhero of all humanity."

"On behalf of the Northern Bear, I confer upon General Wang Lan the title of God of War, Honorary Five-Star Senior General. You are our eternal friend."

"On behalf of..."

All five permanent nations, with the exception of Jade Country, awarded Wang Lan the title of Honorary Five-Star Senior General. The title of Five-Star Senior General is the highest military rank recognized worldwide, a status of extreme honor. The only reason Jade Country did not do the same is because the titles conferred by other countries were honorary, while Jade Country’s was an actual military rank.

Wang Lan had been promoted again. In the autumn of his twenty-second year, he not only became the youngest Senior General of Jade Country but also the youngest in the whole world.

"On behalf of the United Nations, I grant Mr. Wang Lan the title of Human Hero, the title of Protector Warrior of Humanity, and award you the Medal of Civilization Hero. Mr. Wang Lan, you are the first person in history to receive this supreme medal. Congratulations, and thank you!"

Wang Lan, stone-faced, looked straight ahead, seemingly unflappable. But in fact, Wang Lan’s emotions had been numbed by the series of alert tones blaring in his head.

"Detected an item that can be offered as a sacrifice. Do you wish to add it to your inventory?"

"Yes!"

The day was rushed and tiring. When Wang Lan returned to his home in the Capital, he felt like he could peel off his face and throw it in the washing machine for a good wash. Smiling all day had made his face stiff.

"Tired?" Jiang Xinyu came over to Wang Lan with extreme tenderness, gently kneading his shoulders. Her fragrance wafted over, making Wang Lan’s body tense up.

"Don’t move, let me massage you..." Jiang Xinyu said again. Wang Lan frowned slightly, sensing that something was off with Jiang Xinyu.

Suddenly, Jiang Xinyu embraced Wang Lan’s neck tightly, then buried her face in his neck, her warm tears soaking his collar.

"Wang Lan, I was so afraid... really afraid. When I saw you nailed to the ground, my mind went blank. I was scared that you would really die... I was afraid to watch you die..."

Wang Lan’s body relaxed, and he gently patted Jiang Xinyu’s head. "If I had died, no one in the world would have survived. What is there to be afraid of? It would just be a matter of me dying first and you all dying later.

"And as long as I can save the world, I definitely won’t die. In the past, I would have lied to you. I would have said that nothing in the world could stump me, and even if something did, I would make sure I’d survive.

"But not anymore, because I have no way out. Before, I could just run if I couldn’t win, as there was always someone more capable to take over. But now, I’ve suddenly found that I’ve become that most capable person.

"I have enemies standing before me, and behind me stands human civilization. It’s not that I can’t run, but that I cannot afford to run. Do you understand?"

"I do. But can you understand how I felt at that time?"

"Of course, I do. Because when I thought I was about to die, all I could think about was you..."

"Only me?"

"Only you!"

Wang Lan turned his face to look into Jiang Xinyu’s misty eyes. He stretched out his hand, wrapped it around her shoulder, and pulled her in for a fierce kiss.

OOF—

「The next day.」

Wang Lan woke up leisurely. Jiang Xinyu had already gotten up. Listening to the sounds from the kitchen, Wang Lan lazily rolled over. This year, Jiang Xinyu had finally mastered the basics of cooking, and the things she made were no longer culinary disasters.

Without something soft in his arms, he felt his sleep was not as sound. He sat up, put on his clothes, and got out of bed.

"Xinyu, how much vacation time do we have left?" Wang Lan asked, stretching as he walked to the kitchen door.

"Indefinite." Jiang Xinyu glanced at Wang Lan speechlessly and brought out the breakfast she had prepared from the kitchen.

"You forgot, the International Security Council no longer exists!"

"I just didn’t register it for a moment..." Wang Lan reached for the freshly made breakfast but Jiang Xinyu slapped his hand away.

"Go wash up before you eat."

"Oh!"

Wang Lan finished washing up quickly and came to his seat. Looking at the breakfast in front of him, he felt quite emotional.

"Being alive is wonderful!"

"Yes, being alive is wonderful... It would be even better to enjoy the bliss of having multiple women." Jiang Xinyu picked up two slices of toast, sandwiched a fried egg, salad dressing, and sausage in between, and took a big, fierce bite.

Wang Lan shuddered slightly, suddenly feeling the bread in his hands a bit hot to touch.

"Eat. What are you waiting for? Although my cooking isn’t as good as Sisi’s, it isn’t that bad, is it?"

"Oh, I got a bit distracted..." Wang Lan sneakily glanced at Jiang Xinyu, but there was no particular expression on her face.

"I’ve made plans to go shopping with Sisi later. Remember to wash your dishes after breakfast."

"Uh? You don’t need me to accompany you?"

"Forget it. Seeing how weak you look, I’ll spare you out of compassion."

"Weak? Say that again if you dare! Last night, someone didn’t seem to think so..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Xinyu’s ears turned bright red as she roared in embarrassment and anger, "Hmph!"

"Are you sure you don’t need me to go with you?"

"No need!" Jiang Xinyu put on her sunglasses, waved her hand, and stepped into the elevator.

After Jiang Xinyu disappeared into the elevator, Wang Lan’s brows furrowed.

"Her words at breakfast today seemed casual," Wang Lan mumbled, stroking his chin, "but given Xinyu’s usual style, she probably said it on purpose. Yet, there were no further questions, no probing..."

Unless it’s confirmed?

Wang Lan’s heart lurched. How could it be? I haven’t been messing around with Sisi recently, how could she have noticed? However, Jiang Xinyu’s reaction made Wang Lan secretly let out a sigh of relief.

She wasn’t angry, and she’s still going shopping with Sisi as usual. What does she mean by that? Enjoying the bliss of having multiple women? That phrase sounded like some kind of hint, didn’t it?

Soon, Wang Lan pushed all the miscellaneous thoughts from his mind. Just yesterday, he had obtained an item that could be offered as a sacrifice. He had not gotten an item fit for offering in a long time, and the last acquisition, Cybertron Planet, had refreshed his understanding of items obtainable through sacrifice.

Previously, Wang Lan thought that the exchanged items could at most be things like Saint Cloth, Zanpakuto, or Digimon. But after Cybertron Planet, Wang Lan suddenly felt that maybe in the future, he could also exchange for monsters, Ultraman, and the like.

If I could get a Divine Power rod, I could head straight for a grand finale.

Even if the Demon God returns, can he defeat the warriors of the Light Country who fight alongside the Cosmic Emperor to defend the peace of the multi-dimensional universe?

Speaking of Cybertron Planet, Wang Lan had observed it just a few days ago. Cybertron Planet had evolved to an era of racial conflict. However, it still had not evolved powerful equipment like thermal weapons or laser weapons.

At the moment, they were, at best, still fighting with tooth and claw. After just over two years, this speed was already very satisfactory. Wang Lan believed that if Cybertron Planet were given another five years... no, even just three years, it would evolve into a true galactic overlord.

By then, when the Demon Clan’s armies attacked, the armies of Cybertron could stand against them.

Wang Lan took out the exchangeable item, sank his consciousness into the system, and focused his spiritual power on the offering.

BOOM—

The badge in the system exploded, and a dazzling carousel of images appeared before Wang Lan’s eyes.

The carousel’s main images were still from anime and games; the item exchanged this time should be from an anime setting. Although there was no Ultraman, there were still many incomprehensible beings in anime.

The carousel scrolled quickly. Some scenes left a deep impression, while others were hazy memories, all from things Wang Lan had seen in his previous life.

The carousel gradually slowed down and finally froze on a pair of eyes.

Seeing these eyes, Wang Lan was startled.

These eyes were too familiar, and too shocking.

They were a pair of bright red eyes, and within them, a shuriken-like pattern was slowly spinning.

"You have obtained the item: Rinnegan of Divine Might! Would you like to extract it?"

"Wait," Wang Lan asked anxiously, "it seems people without the Uchiha Clan’s bloodline can’t use the Blood Wheel Eye, can they?"

"Items obtained through offerings will eliminate all unfavorable settings for the host. Please do not worry so much," the system’s cold voice rang out, allowing Wang Lan to let out a long sigh of relief.

"Extract!"

Instantly, Wang Lan felt a cool sensation in his eyes. When he opened them again, a pair of Kaleidoscope Sharingan began spinning slowly in his eyes.
