Su Mingyue still maintained some clarity in her mind, so when Lin Zhen’s hand slid down her lower abdomen, she stopped him.

“Lin Zhen don’t”

“Yue’er, don’t you want to give yourself to me?”

Su Mingyue shook her head slightly, her eyes filled with love: “It’s not that Yue’er doesn’t want to give herself to you, but it’s not fair to Sister An Ning.”

Lin Zhen’s heart cooled down a bit. He wanted Yue’er, but he also wanted An Ning. He knew that An Ning must feel the same way, even though she was giving him and Yue’er a chance.

He nodded somewhat gloomily: “Alright, I’ll wait until you both marry me.”

Su Mingyue’s jade arms wrapped around Lin Zhen’s neck: “You’re so kind.”

“What’s so kind about it? I’m not feeling good at all.”

Lin Zhen bent his waist uncomfortably, his pants almost bursting.

Su Mingyue lowered her head, her face turning red like she was about to burst into flames: “What should we do then?”

Lin Zhen’s eyes rolled: “I can teach you about that.”

Even though Lin Zhen didn’t get to have his way with Yue’er that night, Su Mingyue was still so exhausted that she fell asleep in the middle of the night. Her wrists were sore, and the marks on her chest were eventually wiped away by Lin Zhen.

The next day, when An Ning saw Su Mingyue, a hint of relief appeared in her eyes. Lin Zhen hadn’t taken the final step with Su Mingyue, which made her feel better.

Lin Zhen wouldn’t neglect An Ning either. The next night, he did almost the same thing with her.

With these two girlfriends by his side, Lin Zhen felt his life was already half complete.

The remaining part was the pursuit of powerful strength, enabling him to maintain this happiness forever, without letting any person or force destroy it.

Lin Zhen entered the most leisurely period since his rebirth.

During this time, Lin Zhen acted as the martial arts instructor for his family.

Now, Yue’er and An Ning were both at the peak of the pre-Star Realm. Yue’er had mastered the Light Quantum, while An Ning had resonated with the Water Quantum. Both girlfriends were outstanding.

Because of their low realm, Lin Liye and Li Qin progressed faster. Under Lin Zhen’s focused training, both of them broke through in just one month, entering the War General Stage.

However, their advancement was achieved through the resources Lin Zhen provided. They didn’t have any special martial skills or elemental energy control, so their practical combat abilities were still inferior.

During this time, Lin Zhen met many people. Old friends came to visit him one by one. Lin Zhen had become a symbol of Hua Xia, being the youngest ever in the Heavenly Star List and a national hero.

These numerous titles and honors weighed heavily on Lin Zhen’s shoulders, making him feel the pressure.

Lin Zhen’s alien identity had spread among a small circle of people. Some chose to believe him and practiced harder, while others were watching and some didn’t care.

Lin Zhen wouldn’t forcefully spread the news of extraterrestrial civilization. Many things couldn’t be fully explained, and success was always reserved for the prepared. He had no obligation to save everyone.

Besides his own training, Lin Zhen focused on helping his two girlfriends break through. He hoped to quickly help Yue’er and An Ning enter the Star Realm. Strictly speaking, both girlfriends were outstanding talents and very valuable for cultivation.

During this period, Lin Zhen accompanied An Ning to the An family and formally met her parents.

Given An Bihuai’s words and Lin Zhen’s current identity, status, and strength, the An family had no reason to refuse.

Lin Zhen also visited Gongsun Du at God’s Grace Cathedral in Capital Base City.

Gongsun Du had lost his arm in the battle with Yan Huang, but he had also mastered the Light Quantum. Lin Zhen lent him the Star Sky Crown, which helped him restore his arm.

Originally, Lin Zhen had intended to give the Star Sky Crown and Light Annihilation to Su Mingyue, but Su Mingyue still hoped that Lin Zhen could master the power of quantum. Both items were greatly beneficial to Lin Zhen as well.

During this time, Su Mingyue often helped Lin Zhen resonate with the Light Quantum, and Lin Zhen successfully resonated with it, living up to Su Mingyue’s expectations.

After resonating, Lin Zhen finally had a fully mastered elemental energy.

In the Dark Star, sunlight, starlight, and moonlight all changed the moment Lin Zhen resonated with the Light Quantum, becoming like the three different types of light in the normal world: intense sunlight, soft moonlight, and dazzling starlight.

At last, Lin Zhen could use the Star Sky Crown and Light Annihilation. After losing the liquid metal, Lin Zhen often found himself inconvenienced, but Light Annihilation was very practical.

As for the Star Sky Crown, Lin Zhen didn’t plan to wear it all the time; he needed it for a critical moment.

When Gongsun Du saw Lin Zhen taking out the Star-gazing Mirror, he didn’t say much, only asking Lin Zhen to treat Su Mingyue well.

Once his arm recovered, Gongsun Du simply left the God’s Grace Cathedral, claiming to find a place to practice quietly. Since the Divine Sect no longer existed and the God’s Grace Cathedral would be demolished, his position as the Great Divine Sect was no longer meaningful.

Around this time, another major event occurred: the sea monsters’ evolution rate suddenly accelerated, and low-level sea monsters had basically disappeared.

No one knows what hormones they ingested, but the sea monsters became increasingly powerful. Months later, coastal cities began to suffer from monster attacks.

There were no sea monsters below the S-level. The lowest cannon fodder-level sea monsters were S-level, attacking coastal cities in groups. The Demon Capital of Hua Xia, for example, was a key target of monster attacks.

The monsters advanced along the Yangtze River. Initially, the new location of Demon Capital was moved hundreds of kilometers away from the coastline to withstand the Mutated Beasts, but it still couldn’t escape the attack, with the city defense in grave danger.

Thanks to the emergency support of the World War God Alliance, Demon Capital managed to withstand the first wave of sea monster attacks.

Apart from Demon Capital, sea monsters also wandered along the Amazon River in Brazil. The area within hundreds of kilometers of the riverbank became restricted zones, and Brazilians began to migrate inland on a large scale.

The situation in the European Union was not much better. Monsters ran rampant in the Mediterranean, Red Sea, and Black Sea areas. People had to abandon a large amount of coastal land and start shrinking inland.

The same was true for the United States. Numerous sea monsters appeared on the west coast, and the state of Los Angeles Base City was not optimistic.

Hua Xia offered assistance to the United States, but the mayor of Los Angeles Base City was a narrow-minded nationalist. He looked down on people of other ethnicities, refused the protection of the World War God Alliance, and proclaimed that American technology was sufficient to handle the crisis.

However, facing the sea monsters, every Base City was in a bad situation. The Mutated Beast threats, which everyone had almost forgotten, resurfaced and seemed more fierce this time.

Lin Zhen did not participate in the defense of Demon Capital. Instead, he felt the need to rest for a while. No one in Hua Xia asked Lin Zhen to fight either. If every monster attack on the city required Lin Zhen’s intervention, the others would be useless.

It wasn’t until five months after Lin Zhen’s break that the situation worsened.

In the United States, a giant octopus monster emerged from the depths of the sea. Its level exceeded the highest limit of SSS-level Mutated Beasts, becoming a Beast King!

Each tentacle of this Beast King was hundreds of meters long. Under its leadership, Los Angeles Base City and its three satellite cities were captured within a day, with tens of millions killed in the battle.

The War God Alliance originally wanted to provide support, but the mayor of Los Angeles refused at first. When he realized he couldn’t resist any longer, he pleaded for help, but it was too late.

That octopus monster was simply not something humans could resist. None of the modern weapons could harm it, and even Star Realm Warriors were easily swallowed by it.

Los Angeles fell just like that. It was a significant Base City, and its fall was a colossal loss for humanity.

This incident didn’t happen in Lin Zhen’s previous life. In his memories, the highest-level Mutated Beast on Earth was only SSS-level; there had never been a Beast King.

But this time there was, and Lin Zhen couldn’t find the answer.

By no coincidence, in the Arctic region of Sand Russia, a giant king crab, a Beast King-level sea monster, appeared, leading a large group of high-level sea monsters to attack St. Petersburg Base City in Sand Russia.

Sand Russia originally planned to support the United States and even dispatched numerous experts to the Western Hemisphere. However, at this moment, St. Petersburg was attacked. Under the leadership of the Beast King sea monster, they landed from the cold Arctic sea and swept through St. Petersburg within an hour.

The status of St. Petersburg and Los Angeles were almost equivalent to the Capital and Demon Capital of Hua Xia.

The fall of these super large base cities was hard to accept, causing almost a tenth of the world’s population to decrease.

Countries around the world warned people almost simultaneously that the battle between humans and Mutated Beasts had reached a critical stage. The appearance of Beast King-level monsters indicated that humans might be completely annihilated.

Lin Zhen saw these two news stories at home and couldn’t help but ponder.

Sea monsters wouldn’t evolve for no reason; such things didn’t happen in his previous life.

Various countries never stopped researching the cause of their evolution. They concluded that a new component was injected into the seawater, promoting the growth of Mutated Beasts, though specific details were not yet discovered.

In Lin Zhen’s view, this was most likely the work of the two adventurers from the Tianhe Empire.

They were trying to weaken the strength of Earth’s people by promoting the growth of Mutated Beasts, paving the way for their armies and preparing for their conquest plans.

Promoting Mutated Beast growth was not a difficult task for extraterrestrial civilizations.

As things went on, coastal cities worldwide were in great danger.

The top priority now was to find where the two adventurers from the Tianhe Empire were hiding and eliminate them entirely.
