He stood on the left side of the projection screen, controlling the screen with his hand, pointing to the figure and explaining to everyone:
"Look, based on the photos of Lin Beichen before he set off to Jingli Mountain, it’s not hard to determine from the attire that the figure in the live broadcast is indeed Lin Beichen!"
"Previously, He Jianhua, the president of Imperial Capital University, had explained the situation to me over the phone, confirming that Lin Beichen had indeed climbed Jingli Mountain!"
"Meanwhile, our colleagues stationed in Divine Light Country reported that a group of assassins from the Atlantis organization had recently arrived in the area, and their target is also Lin Beichen!"
"It is very likely that this assassin organization has also identified Lin Beichen from the live broadcast and might send Death Warriors to climb the mountain for an assassination!"
"It’s time for us to activate the forces we have lurking in Divine Light Country!"
Song Xiangdong stated seriously, finally looking at everyone and added, "This matter is of great importance, as it falls within the borders of Divine Light Country. Without United Nations authorization, our armed personnel cannot directly enter!"
"Therefore, the forces we can mobilize within Divine Light Country must be extremely precise this time!"
"The plan and measures must be quick, decisive, and infallible!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
As soon as Song Xiangdong finished speaking, the group responded in unison, their voices grand and the atmosphere on-site extremely tense.
...
...
At this moment, on a piece of vacant land near the crater of Jingli Mountain.
Lin Beichen continued to arduously temper his heart, now at the most critical moment.
His body was entirely red, with red shimmer emanating from his limbs’ blood vessels, as if he had absorbed magma into his physique, transforming his blood into red molten iron, circulating through his limbs.
This made his entire body appear to be steaming and roasting in a furnace, continuously emitting steam!
At this point, he couldn’t care less about the dozens of helicopters hovering above him, which included reconnaissance helicopters of the local Divine Light Country military and journalists from various countries, who were risking everything to approach the crater for real-time coverage.
Now, each media outlet had noticed Lin Beichen’s figure, and their common goal was to focus their cameras on his location.
Of course, Lin Beichen wouldn’t be concerned about these and couldn’t notice them anyway. He only felt the surrounding Fire Element intensifying!
Intensifying to an astonishing level!
This was the perfect opportunity, as the blood striving from his heart grew stronger, and it seemed the Fire Element was not only tempering his heart but also nourishing every part of his body, simultaneously enhancing him!
This was an experience he hadn’t reached in his previous attempts at tempering his liver and lungs!
"It seems that the Fire Element in the heart might be more important than the last two times!"
Lin Beichen muttered to himself, then abruptly opened his eyes to see the dense Fire Element floating like bubbles, forming tangible shapes!
Lin Beichen knew this was merely an illusionary manifestation in his state of enlightenment, but it made it easier to observe and comprehend the Fire Element.
He then closed his eyes again and re-entered the state of comprehension, feeling the omnipresent Fire Element, absorbing it into his body, and sending it to his heart for the final crucial tempering!
"Just one last step!"
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Suddenly, Jingli Mountain shook several times like an earthquake. The magma in the crater began boiling like scalding water!
It looked as if it was about to erupt, with magma surging from the crater!
Even the houses around the foot of the mountain collapsed in large areas due to the earthquake, causing cracks to appear on the surrounding peaks!
The situation was dire!
The hovering helicopters in the sky seemed to be affected by the recent volcanic tremors and ascended higher, not daring to get too close.
The smoke and ash emerging from the crater grew denser, covering the sky with a layer of gray mist!
The sky near the crater was illuminated like a blazing sun about to fall, the scene looked like the end of the world, and those watching the live broadcast around the world felt anxious.
After all, such a degree of volcanic eruption could impact global warming, and the ash ejected from the crater could influence the atmospheric quality worldwide.
The most worried were several neighboring countries close to Divine Light Country.
It seemed Divine Light Country was also aware of the concerns of various countries; their worry was if Jingli Mountain’s volcano erupted, whether it could be controlled.
Additionally, they were concerned about the extent to which the volcanic eruption could be predicted.
If uncontrollable variables occur, how should they respond!
This was the primary concern of several surrounding nations and even countries worldwide.
If Divine Light Country mishandled the situation, the major powers might first consider nuclear options to level Divine Light Country’s land!
To fundamentally resolve the volcanic eruption crisis!
Directly striking the volcano before the outbreak, using nuclear bombs to flatten it.
This scenario was what Divine Light Country least wanted to see, as the power of nuclear bombs is inconceivably terrifying, while Divine Light Country itself is non-nuclear.
Thus, Divine Light Country’s official news platform explained the emergency response plan and measures for the Jingli Mountain volcanic eruption.
