Chapter 658 - 450: The Plan Targeting Lin Lang

"Guard the Eastern Country?"

Upon hearing Lin Lang’s request, the few great deities were momentarily stunned—

They didn’t expect Lin Lang to care so much about the Eastern Country!

Because, in their view, strength is the only thing that truly matters in this world, and everything else is just fleeting!

After all, they have spent thousands of years on Earth, witnessing too many rises and falls, successes and failures, becoming indifferent to national sentiments long ago!

In fact, they don’t even care about life anymore.

However!

Since Lin Lang made such a request at this moment, they naturally followed without conditions, and expressed their positions one after another:

"Of course!"

"That’s right! Speaking of which, we were also born on this land and have feelings for it."

"Yes, although back then, this place wasn’t called the Eastern Country."

...

Lin Lang nodded, turned to his women, and said:

"Alright, the situation here is resolved, we can go back now."

"Hmm!"

The women were very happy, originally thinking Lin Lang would leave them to ascend to another world today!

But he stayed, and even gained so many powerful people to work for him, the women were genuinely happy for him.

Although the current global situation seems relatively stable, no one can say how long such stability will last!

What if the apocalypse continues to worsen?

Therefore, being able to control more powerful forces is naturally better!

...

Meanwhile!

In the Special Agent Bureau’s base in the Eastern Country!

They detected everything happening in the sky using a new high-tech device!

They couldn’t help but be in awe of the power Lin Lang displayed!

"Isn’t Lin Lang too powerful?"

"Indeed!"

An old man adjusted his glasses, looking solemn:

"Although we don’t know much about ascension, from the reactions of others, we can see that ascension is no ordinary feat, it can be said to be a divine miracle!"

"Yet! Such a miracle is actually under Lin Lang’s control!"

"This indicates that Lin Lang’s strength is likely far beyond our expectations!"

Many couldn’t help but gasp upon hearing this!

Because!

Within the Special Agent Bureau, the name Lin Lang is already well-known!

Tales of his glorious history are spread word of mouth!

Everyone knows he’s formidable, but whether he’s truly as powerful as the legends say? Many who don’t know him are skeptical!

But!

Upon hearing the most senior veterans in the Bureau speak of him this way, people realized they had underestimated Lin Lang greatly, and seriously at that!

So what is Lin Lang’s true strength?

Moreover!

Is having such a powerful person in the world, not under any faction’s control, a good thing or a bad thing for the Eastern Country?

If one day, Lin Lang suddenly decides to become hostile to the Eastern Country, what could they do?

Such anxious thoughts, though vague, hovered in many people’s minds!

Especially!

When they heard those terrifyingly powerful deities all wanted to follow Lin Lang, to be his devotees!

These anxieties were magnified further!

"Chief! Just Lin Lang’s power alone is enough to lose control! Now with so many strong people attached to him, do you think we should keep some contingency plans?"

The speaker was not a very old man!

But!

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze!

He instinctively turned to see Zou Zhiruo looking at him furiously:

"What do you mean?! Do you think Lin Lang might betray us, so you want to employ some secret measures to threaten him?!"

"No, no, no!"

The man was startled because he knew Zou Zhiruo was Elder Zou’s granddaughter, and also a combat power level SSS expert!

Her status in the Special Agent Bureau was extraordinary!

Moreover, there were rumors of her having a somewhat unclear connection with Lin Lang...

"Actually, there’s some truth in what Xiao Zhang said! Mr. Lin Lang’s strength is indeed beyond our control, we should have some preparations!"

"Of course! If Mr. Lin Lang harbors no ill intentions against us, naturally we wouldn’t disrespect him in any way!"

"It’s like how I can choose not to use a gun, but I can’t be without one!"

Several others stood up, opposing Zou Zhiruo!

Zou Zhiruo defiantly glared back at each of them!

Her stance was clear—

Anyone opposing Lin Lang is opposing me!

...

"No need!"

At this moment!

As the chief director of the Special Agent Bureau, Zou Limu spoke up.

His words were decisive, breaking the impasse instantly:

"For Lin Lang, we must maintain 100,000 percent trust!"

"Elder Zou..."

Upon hearing these words, some showed disbelief!

But Elder Zou waved them to silence, and patiently explained:

"First!"

"From the apocalypse to now, Mr. Lin Lang’s help to our Special Agent Bureau, and even the entire Eastern Country, has been immense!"

"It could be said without Mr. Lin Lang, our Eastern Country couldn’t have recovered from the apocalyptic blows, or even thrived, in such a short time!"

"Moreover! The Martial Arts Techniques you are currently cultivating were all authored by Mr. Lin Lang and gifted to us for free!"

At this point!

The people who previously opposed Zou Zhiruo all lowered their heads, their faces slightly red!

They couldn’t rebut against this!

The birth of those martial arts manuals had provided immense aid, which could be considered a debt of gratitude!

"Furthermore!"

Elder Zou looked serious and said with conviction:

"There were several times when evil gods emerged, and outer gods invaded, all resolved thanks to Mr. Lin Lang!"

"Without him, with the power of those evil gods, even if they couldn’t destroy us, they would still cause us significant harm!"

"Without Mr. Lin Lang, we might have perished in battle and not be comfortably sitting here attending a meeting!"

Hearing this!

The meeting room was dead silent.

They couldn’t deny these words!

The power of the evil gods, they personally witnessed!

At Evil God Island, just one Puppet Evil God decimated several large squads!

Without Lin Lang’s timely assistance, the casualties might have reached astronomical figures!

In this way, Lin Lang had saved their lives!

"The most important point is..."

Elder Zou raised his voice!

Waking up those who were deep in thought!

"With Lin Lang’s strength, he no longer needs the Eastern Country to do anything for him!"

"On the contrary, we, the Eastern Country, cannot do without him!"

"We can even say that now, the entire world cannot do without him!"

"And our Eastern Country is undoubtedly fortunate to receive more of his attention! In such circumstances, not cherishing this favor but destroying it instead is unwise and absolutely wrong!"

Elder Zou’s sharp gaze swept across everyone present.

Those caught by his gaze slightly lowered their heads.

They felt they had completely misunderstood; with Lin Lang’s power, they were thinking of threatening him!

Seriously!

How to threaten?!

Zou Zhiruo felt vindicated, her spirits lifted upon hearing her grandfather’s words!

And proudly raised her head!

As if saying:

"Hmph! I’ve always said Lin Lang is the best! No one can bully him!"

And just then!

The surveillance equipment transmitted Lin Lang’s words to those deities:

"You don’t need to do anything, just protect the Eastern Country for me."

Instantly!

The meeting room fell into silent desolation!

Many felt ashamed of themselves!
