Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1381 535: Kunlun City (Part 3)

Li Heping looked at Lin Xian: "But now the fact is, the dimensional boundaries of the 13 Star Abysses have indeed stopped outside the Polar Circle. This indicates that they may have reached some consensus or cooperation with the High Tower Civilization, so the Foundation has given us three months."
"Three months?" Lin Xian said in surprise: "Is this something they can control?"
"Just lies."
Li Heping said: "We have long investigated the changes in the world's Dark Energy Fluctuation, and the reason the polar regions have not been covered by dimensional boundaries is mainly because the Polar Circle has never been expanded by the Star Abyss before. Without the scarlet shroud, the dimensional boundaries cannot devour it—this is one reason. Another reason is that North America is now experiencing extremely high energy siphon phenomena, possibly related to the 'Angel' of High Tower Civilization. Without sufficient energy, it is naturally impossible to devour the entire planet."
"At the beginning of Apocalypse Day, we chose the polar regions as the last fortress due to this consideration. Now it has proven that our choice was correct. The High Tower Civilization needs to absorb the energy of the Solar System to complete its dimensional remodeling plan. The three months period was our estimate based on the current Dark Energy flow dynamics; it has nothing to do with the Foundation..."
Lin Xian smiled wryly upon hearing this: "But among millions, surely some will believe."
Li Heping nodded: "Actually, the vast majority here recognize you and see you as the dawn of hope. Now that you are in the polar region, many believe that our success rate of breaking through the Heavenly Veil will greatly increase. However... as you know, there are always some who won't think deeply."
"Have we found the exact plan to break through the Heavenly Veil?"
"Still testing." Li Heping replied.
Lin Xian smiled: "Then the longer it takes, the more people's stance will shift."
Li Heping nodded: "This is an overt plot. As long as any action revolves around you, risks may arise because we can't guarantee everyone is harmless to you."
Lin Xian's expression grew serious:
"Hence, I must be isolated. Any major events, wars, commands, or strategic planning, I cannot touch, because who knows who might be harmful to me?!"
"Exactly."
Li Heping looked at him: "You're very smart. This is indeed the ultimate dilemma posed by the Descent Faction for us. The Sword Holder should have brought hope and morale, yet now we have to keep you in the shadows."
Lin Xian took a deep breath: "Before this, the Foundation had plenty of opportunities to kill me, but they didn't. Turns out they had this thought."
After saying this, he looked at Li Heping and seriously asked
"What if the Foundation is telling the truth, they really can open the Heavenly Veil, what do you plan to do?"
Li Heping was silent for a moment, then smiled: "If true, I should immediately execute you and then send your corpse heavily guarded to the Foundation."
Lin Xian's gaze sharpened: "Well done."
"But that's impossible." Li Heping said, switching tone.
"Don't make pretty speeches, why is it impossible?" Lin Xian questioned.
Li Heping's gaze became stern and he spoke gravely: "From a strategic standpoint, it is absolutely impossible. You will soon know why, and from my personal perspective, I wouldn't do it."
"Why not?"
Li Heping looked at Lin Xian, his tone fierce
"Such a pitiable civilization has no meaning in continuing!"
Lin Xian fell silent upon hearing this, the anger and chaos in his heart gradually subsiding. After a long while, he opened his mouth to speak
"What about Professor Ye, can I see her?"
"She can't see you for the time being."
"And why is that?"
Li Heping looked at him, with a solemn expression
"Ye Lan has been relieved from the position of Supreme Commander."
