## Chapter 1957 — Closing In
The transparent screen displayed the approaching alien vessel.
Yang Lin calmly watched the projection.
"The millions of high-tier existences are approaching quickly."
"They're now around seventy-five thousand light years away from the Arrow Cutter."
Silence followed.
Xue Yao's gentle smile disappeared as she stared at the enormous ship.
Shuiluo Sha narrowed her beautiful eyes.
Han Chen unconsciously clasped her hands together.
FeiFei blinked several times.
"So close already..."
Su Qinglan remained calm, though surprise flashed across her face.
Liao Yue quietly observed the projection.
Xiao Rui looked fascinated.
Daji folded her arms.
Zhao Feng and Gu Tian exchanged serious glances.
Bai Yao, Ning Mei, Han Qing, Yue Bingxin, Su Liyulu, Cui Ye, Liu Yi, Qin Mo, Shen Rui, Baiyu, Xu Yi, Mo Han, Yu Lianhua, Yu Huaxianzi and Hua Chao all watched silently.
Even after everything they had experienced—
millions of powerful beings traveling through the void remained overwhelming.
Hua Chao looked toward Yang Lin.
"What shall we do?"
Baiyu smiled calmly.
"Don't worry."
"Yang Lin already knows what to do."
Ning Mei nodded.
"That's right."
Daji laughed.
"I've never seen him panic."
Everyone gradually relaxed.
Their eyes returned to Yang Lin.

## Chapter 1958 — If They Seek War
Ning Mei asked
"What move are we going to use against that alien ship?"
Yang Lin calmly shook his head.
"What fighting?"
He smiled faintly.
"But..."
"If they're here for war..."
"I'll make sure every one of them is destroyed before we leave."
Silence.
Everyone froze.
Xue Yao slowly looked at him.
"That's... millions of high-tier existences."
"How could they all be killed?"
"...That move again?"
Cui Ye suddenly remembered.
"Wait..."
"Is it the move that rescued us?"
Liu Yi nodded.
"I couldn't even sense it."
Su Liyulu swallowed.
"Yang Lin..."
"Is it really that move?"
Yang Lin smiled.
"What?"
"Those techniques?"
"They're insignificant."
"If I used one here..."
"...this Universal Cluster itself might be split apart."
"And if I controlled it differently..."
"...who knows what else would disappear."
Everyone stared at him in disbelief.

## Chapter 1959 — One Finger
Yang Lin slowly raised one finger.
"This time..."
"I'll only use a finger."
"It can also be done with a thought."
"But I'd like to show everyone another technique."
"It isn't powerful enough to become one of my Natural Abilities."
"But it's still sufficient."
"It also goes beyond my cultivation principles.
The control room became silent again.
No one spoke.
Even Zhao Feng and Gu Tian could only look at one another.
Yang Lin continued.
"If they truly came for war..."
"You'll see it."
"If not..."
"You'll witness it one day in the World of Cultivation."
Everyone quietly nodded.
None of them doubted him.

## Chapter 1960 — The Sword Sect
Bai Yao suddenly smiled.
"When we reach the Rui Star's Lower Realm..."
"What sect are we joining?"
Shuiluo Sha nodded.
"I've wondered that too."
Yang Lin chuckled.
"A sword sect."
Everyone looked interested.
"In the Southern Domain."
Daji smiled brightly.
"That's one of the best places to cultivate."
FeiFei tilted her head.
"A sword sect?"
Yang Lin nodded.
"Yes."
Su Qinglan's eyes sparkled.
"So..."
"We'll learn advanced sword techniques?"
Daji nodded.
"Exactly."
Qin Mo laughed.
"I've always been decent with a sword."
"Learning more isn't bad."
Shen Rui smiled.
"It's been one hundred thousand years."
"I'm curious how sword arts have evolved."
Yang Lin smiled.
"You'll all have plenty of opportunities."
Everyone became filled with anticipation.
Their future in the World of Cultivation finally seemed real.

## Chapter 1961 — Waiting for Their Choice
Yang Lin rested one hand on the control platform.
"I'll temporarily allow alien civilizations to establish communication with the Arrow Cutter."
Yu Lianhua blinked.
"Why?"
"They shouldn't even be capable of connecting."
Yang Lin nodded.
"They normally can't."
"But I want to know their intentions."
"If they choose respect..."
"I'll respond accordingly."
"If they choose hostility..."
He left the sentence unfinished.
Everyone instinctively looked toward the approaching vessel.
Xue Yao spoke softly.
"What if their leader seeks revenge after we leave this Universal Cluster?"
Shuiluo Sha nodded in agreement.
Yang Lin calmly answered,
"Then I'll use the same technique on their leader that I use on his people."
Everyone became speechless.
Without another word—
Yang Lin slowly turned his chair back toward the enormous viewing screen.
His calm eyes reflected the distant alien battleship.
A faint smile appeared.
"They're here."
Inside the control room—
everyone unconsciously held their breath.
The first encounter beyond their Universe—
was about to begin.

### Chapter 1962 — Face to Face
Inside the Arrow Cutter—
everyone quietly watched the transparent screen.
Suddenly—
the enormous alien spaceship entered visual range.
Its colossal body stretched across the endless void.
The four massive rectangular sections were connected into one gigantic vessel.
Eight beam cannons—
four on each side—
each measuring ten light years long—
glowed with terrifying energy.
The entire ship was over one thousand light years in length.
It slowly approached.
FeiFei's eyes widened.
"So..."
"We can actually see it now?"
She swallowed.
"Can they see us?"
Xue Yao became slightly nervous.
Shuiluo Sha quietly watched Yang Lin.
Han Chen held her breath.
Su Qinglan narrowed her beautiful eyes.
Liao Yue remained calm.
Xiao Rui stared at the projection in fascination.
Daji folded her arms.
The others silently watched.
Yang Lin calmly shook his head.
"They can't."
Everyone looked toward him.
Yu Lianhua released a quiet sigh of relief.
Yu Huaxianzi smiled faintly.
Hua Chao's tense expression gradually relaxed.
Even Baiyu nodded.
"As expected."
Yang Lin smiled.
"Let's see..."
"...what they've got."

### Chapter 1963 — A Cold Greeting
Moments later—
a communication request appeared.
Yang Lin calmly accepted it.
A strange alien figure appeared upon the screen.
Its silver armor emitted a faint blue glow.
Its eyes were golden.
Its expression was cold.
"My name is Lo Mei."
Its voice echoed throughout the control room.
"You people..."
"Get out of the way."
Silence.
Everyone frowned.
Xue Yao's expression became serious.
Shuiluo Sha narrowed her eyes.
Han Chen looked slightly displeased.
FeiFei pouted.
"So rude..."
Su Qinglan remained expressionless.
Daji snorted.
"What an attitude."
Zhao Feng and Gu Tian quietly watched.
Yu Lianhua frowned slightly.
Yu Huaxianzi folded her arms.
Hua Chao shook her head.
No one expected such an unfriendly greeting.
---
### Chapter 1964 — One Finger
Yang Lin calmly reached forward.
With a simple movement—
he closed the communication.
The projection disappeared.
No words.
No warning.
He slowly raised one finger.
Then—
pointed toward the colossal alien battleship.
"It's done."
He calmly lowered his hand.
Everyone blinked.
FeiFei looked around.
"...That's it?"
Han Chen stared outside.
"Nothing happened."
Xue Yao quietly looked toward the distant ship.
Everyone waited.
The void remained silent.
---
### Chapter 1965 — Vanished
The next instant—
the colossal alien spaceship disappeared.
It simply...
vanished.
Not an explosion.
Not fragments.
Nothing remained.
The surrounding space split apart for countless light years.
Dark spatial cracks spread silently through the void.
Everyone stood frozen.
FeiFei's mouth slowly opened.
Han Chen forgot to breathe.
Shuiluo Sha stared blankly.
Xue Yao's beautiful eyes widened.
Su Qinglan stood speechless.
Daji rubbed her eyes.
"No way..."
Even Baiyu and Zhao Feng were unable to remain calm.
Yu Lianhua, Yu Huaxianzi and Hua Chao looked outside with complete disbelief.
Millions of high-tier existences—
together with their thousand-light-year battleship—
had disappeared.
---
### Chapter 1966 — A Thought
The torn space continued stretching across the void.
Then—
Yang Lin casually glanced toward it.
Instantly—
the shattered space completely recovered.
It became as though nothing had ever happened.
Yang Lin calmly spoke.
"I repaired the space with a thought."
"Nothing much."
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Everyone simply stared at him.
Xue Yao slowly smiled helplessly.
"I don't even know how to react anymore."
Shuiluo Sha shook her head with a bitter smile.
"Every time I think I've understood your strength..."
"You prove me wrong."
Han Chen quietly laughed in disbelief.
Yang Lin said this isn't my strength this are just techniques of mine not even a natural ability, as for my strength I've have never shown before or for while will show even if i it's just a thought,
because it's way too beyond anyone's understanding.
Every one was shocked.
FeiFei pointed outside.
"It... it all disappeared..."
Su Qinglan exhaled softly.
"Millions of high-tier existences..."
"...gone with one finger."
Daji smiled
"I almost feel sorry for them."
Yu Lianhua looked at Yang Lin with admiration.
Yu Huaxianzi and Hua Chao exchanged silent glances.
Even Baiyu, Zhao Feng, Gu Tian, Ning Mei, Han Qing, Yue Bingxin, Su Liyulu, Cui Ye, Liu Yi, Qin Mo, Shen Rui, Xu Yi and Mo Han could only remain speechless.
The Arrow Cutter continued floating peacefully through the endless void—
as though nothing had happened at all.
