“Up until now, you haven’t touched anything in this world, right? You could try touching something.”

Jiang Li had been floating in mid-air while talking to Luo Ying. Now, following the advice of the long-lasting immortal elder, he set foot on the ground.

However, he found that after landing, he didn’t touch anything, he passed straight through the floor. Half of his body was exposed, as if he was merely a phantom in this world.

“This is the world’s self-preservation law. As a person from another world, you can’t directly influence the world being rewound in time. Only after ten years when this world’s time returns to normal can you influence it directly,” explained the long-lasting immortal elder.

Jiang Li quickly scanned the planet with his Divine Sense, locking on to all the zombies. However, when he tried to attack, he found himself enveloped by an inexplicable force, preventing him from launching an attack.

Jiang Li clenched his fists, trying to break through this inexplicable force. Success was near–he was almost there. Jiang Li was elated, this inexplicable force seemed powerful, but it was still not as strong as he was.

“Stop, stop, stop, what are you doing? The world is about to collapse!” Brahma tower shouted in panic. It was the first to sense the abnormality in the world- -the whole space was about to be shattered.

It was not just a portion of space that was being shattered, but the space of the entire universe.

Jiang Li quickly withdrew his power. Only then did he understand that the force hindering him was none other than the world’s law of order. When he broke through the law’s hindrance, the world would collapse. By then, the issue of the zombies would indeed be resolved, but so would the people of this world.

This law was incrediblv stubborn. favoring mutual destruction over vieldinc.

Jiang Li turned to Luo Ying and said with a warm smile, “Little Ying, let’s discuss something. Can you eliminate all the zombies in six months without my help?”

Luo Ying was taken aback, her eyes wide in shock. What was Mr. Jiang talking about? Eliminate all the zombies in six months?

That’s an impossible mission!

Luo Ying reminded, “Mr. Jiang, the Zombie Whale that’s about to arrive is a bona fide fourth-order zombie.”

Marine creatures are formidable, and among them, whales are a force to reckon with. The whales that can come ashore have fought for a long time in the deep sea, consumed who-knows-how-many brain cores, and evolved into fourth-order zombies.

If they weren’t fourth-order zombies, how could they be unstoppable by the nations?

Luo Ying pondered. It took her five years to become a fourth-order strengthener in her previous life.

Even if she had a chance to relive her life, grabbing the opportunity and obtaining countless brain cores wouldn’t ensure progress. She had to consider whether her body could handle it.

If she constantly pushed her body to the brink of collapse, accurately calculated brain-core absorptions, it would still take her about one and a half years to become a fourth-order strengthener.

And even if she became a fourth-order strengthener, it wouldn’t solve the zombie problem entirely.

Upon seeing Luo Ying’s expression, Jiang Li understood that his request was unreasonable. A fourth-order zombie, in cultivation terms, would equate to the Nascent Soul Stage.

For Luo Ying, it meant becoming a fourth -order strengthener or reaching the Nascent Soul Stage within six months.

Even if Luo Ying started cultivating now, achieving the Nascent Soul Stage in six months was impossible. Pig breeding for meat usually took about six months. It wasn’t plausible for Luo Ying to reach the Nascent Soul Stage at the same speed as pig breeding.

He regretted his decision. And the regret was significant.

If he had known about this situation earlier, he wouldn’t have chosen to eliminate all the zombies in six months. Two years might have been a fairer timeline.

If he couldn’t get all the fragments, getting half of them would be enough.

“I might not be able to help you,” Jiang Li said regretfully, informing Luo Ying about the situation.

Luo Ying felt a bit down after hearing this.

“But I will still try to help. Using the strengthener system that I personally improved and integrated with cultivation methods, I could help you become a fourth-order strengthener within two years, sweeping across the planet,” Jiang Li said.

This nearly halved Luo Ying’s required time.

Regardless of the mission, thinking about the hundreds of millions of people who would die at the hands of zombies in the future, Jiang Li would assist Luo Ying to become stronger, resulting in fewer deaths.

“Thank you,” Luo Ying sincerely replied. She didn’t quite understand the notion of world laws and such. But she knew that Mr. Jiang wanted to help her, even though he couldn’t directly interfere due to various reasons.

Luo Ying took a quick glance at her cellphone, realizing that the time for the Zombie Whale to land was approaching.

“Mr. Jiang, I need to put other matters aside for now. I need to go back and save my sister.”

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Li knew that this matter was urgent. He had six months, surely enough time to figure out a way to defeat the zombies.

In a narrow, dilapidated corridor, hurried footsteps echoed. Luo Ying rushed back home, urgently flung open the door, but the thought of seeing her sister after ten years made her unconsciously slow down.

With their parents dead, she and her sister were left to depend on each other.

In the last apocalypse, her sister turned into a zombie at the very beginning. Her memory of her sister was forever frozen at the morning when she said goodbye before going to school and her sickly sister in bed. This caused her to never want to return to this city for fear that it would bring back painful memories.

As Luo Ying pushed open the bedroom door, her memory of her sister and the reality overlapped. She knelt down, gently holding her sister’s hand, and said softly, “Little Zhu.”

Luo Zhu had a pure face with attractive features, she was undeniably a beautiful girl.

Her long eyelashes quivered slightly, and Luo Zhu opened her eyes, “Big brother?”

“I am here.” Luo Ying felt like crying. It was as if he had suffered countless hardships during the apocalypse for ten years, just to hear this one word from her, “brother.”

“Cough, although I don’t want to interrupt you, I have to remind you that the Zombie Whale is about to arrive.” Luo Ying used her Divine Sense and saw the shape of a whale flapping its fins and emerging out of the sea, though not in the direction of Luo Ying’s city.

“Who is this…” Luo Zhu looked questioningly at Jiang Li. She thought her brother was worried about her illness and had come home on leave, bringing along a friend.

But her brother’s friend had a strange look, dressed in ancient clothing carrying a pagoda.

“My name is Jiang Li, those who know me call me the Human Emperor,” Jiang Li said with a smile.

Luo Zhu responded with an uncertain “Oh”, completely oblivious to the weight the three words ‘Human Emperor’ carried.

“Little Zhu, you might not believe it, but zombies are about to arrive. We must get prepared. This is why I am here!” Luo Ying held Luo Zhu’s hand firmly, his gaze filled with determination.

Luo Zhu, still feverish, weakly shook her head, “Big brother, you have never lied to me. I believe you.”

His sister’s trust was like a shot of adrenaline, giving Luo Ying infinite strength. He sprang up, preparing to face the zombie apocalypse.

He locked the doors and windows, blocked the main door with a pile of items, and barricaded the windows with a wardrobe, leaving only a small gap to observe the outside world.

They had a plenitude of food for several months, so there was no concern. He opened the tap and filled up several large basins with water.

The first day of the Zombie Whale’s appearance was the most dangerous as people were continuously infected. You never knew which corner might hide a zombie waiting to bite you. Luo Ying couldn’t risk going out at this time.

Moreover, going out to kill zombies now ended up being useless. Those who just became zombies weren’t even considered first-order. These types of brain cores were useless for strengtheners.

Wait until several days later, when the zombies had consumed countless humans. At this time, they could barely be considered first-order and that was when Luo Ying planned to take action.

“The Zombie Whale is coming..”
