### Chapter 1741 — Morning In The Main Hall
Morning arrived.
Golden sunlight illuminated the sect.
The floating mountains drifted slowly beneath the blue sky.
Inside the room—
Yang Lin slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he noticed—
Was Mo Yue.
Still beside him.
Her silver-white hair spread across the pillow.
Her crimson eyes were quietly watching him.
Yang Lin sat up.
"I'm going out."
Mo Yue remained silent.
But her brows immediately knitted together slightly.
A trace of dissatisfaction appeared.
Clearly—
She wasn't pleased that he was leaving immediately after waking up.
Yet she said nothing.
Only watched him leave.

### Chapter 1742 — Gathering Once More
Soon—
Yang Lin arrived at the main hall.
The familiar scene entered his sight.
FeiFei and Yue Bingxin were practicing sword formation arts nearby.
Sword lights flashed repeatedly.
The two senior brothers—
Zhao Feng and Gu Tian—
Were surrounded by disciples.
Patiently explaining cultivation and sword techniques.
Under a nearby ancient tree—
Daji lazily lay upon a branch.
Looking completely relaxed.
Ning Mei sat quietly nearby.
Reading an ancient tale.
Meanwhile—
Xue Yao and Su Qinglan appeared to be discussing something.
Yang Lin walked over.
"What are you talking about?"
The moment his voice appeared—
Xue Yao looked at him.
Su Qinglan also looked over.
Both women suddenly became unusually quiet.
Yang Lin blinked.
"What?"
"Why are you looking at me like that?"

### Chapter 1743 — Less Than Fifteen
Xue Yao hesitated briefly.
Then finally asked—
"Yesterday night..."
"Did you kill less than fifteen Immortal King Realm experts?"
The moment those words appeared—
Yang Lin immediately understood.
"Oh."
"You mean those Universe Kings."
"The ones heading toward Earth at light speed?"
Xue Yao's eyes twitched.
Su Qinglan froze.
Yang Lin casually nodded.
"I woke up in the middle of the night."
"I sensed them."
"So I raised my finger."
"Then slid it down a little."
"They were gone."
"Space cracks cut them."
"That's all."
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Xue Yao stared.
Su Qinglan stared.
Both looked as though their understanding of reality had shattered again.

### Chapter 1744 — How Did You Know?
Yang Lin looked puzzled.
"You sensing them is obvious."
"They were strong enough."
"But how did you know I did it?"
Xue Yao remained silent for several moments.
Then finally answered—
"Because..."
"Nobody else could."
Her expression was extremely complicated.
As though she wanted to argue.
Yet couldn't find any logical argument.
Because Yang Lin was the only possible answer.

### Chapter 1745 — They Heard Everything
At that exact moment—
Xiao Rui entered.
Han Chen entered.
Han Qing entered.
Bai Yao arrived shortly afterward.
Unfortunately—
They had heard everything.
Every single word.
The group froze where they stood.
Xiao Rui's mouth slowly opened.
Han Qing nearly tripped.
Bai Yao looked stunned.
Han Chen simply stared at Yang Lin.
Speechless.
Yang Lin waved casually.
"Oh."
"You heard."
"That's fine."
"Eventually you'd learn anyway."
Then—
A mysterious smile appeared.
"But what's coming next is..."
"Hehe."
Everyone immediately felt uneasy.
Very uneasy.

### Chapter 1746 — That Smile
The moment Yang Lin laughed—
Everyone's expressions changed.
Xue Yao narrowed her eyes.
Su Qinglan suddenly became cautious.
Han Chen felt a bad feeling.
Han Qing looked nervous.
Xiao Rui immediately stepped backward.
Ning Mei lowered her book slowly.
Even Daji opened one eye.
Because whenever Yang Lin smiled like that—
Something ridiculous usually followed.

### Chapter 1747 — Chaos On Earth
Meanwhile—
Earth.
Huaxia.
The entire nation had become chaotic.
News spread everywhere.
The mysterious disappearance of the Universe Kings had shaken the world.
Fear.
Relief.
Celebration.
Confusion.
All emotions mixed together.
Meanwhile—
Inside a luxurious mountain-view villa estate in Shanghai—
Three beautiful young women sat together.
Two of them—
Were Yang Lin's childhood sweethearts.
The girls who had grown up alongside him.
The girls who had known him since they were young.
The third—
Was the other girl Yang Lin cared deeply about.
The school beauty he had recently seen through his divine sense.
At this moment—
All three had just learned what happened during the previous night.
Shock remained visible on their faces.
Across from them—
Their fathers sat nearby.
The three middle-aged men exchanged glances.
Then one asked—
"What's wrong with you three?"
The girls immediately looked away.
"Nothing."
"We just remembered someone."
The three men froze.
Then their expressions changed dramatically.
"You don't mean..."
"Yang Lin?"
The three women nodded.
Instantly—
The room became silent.

### Chapter 1748 — The Boy From Back Then
One middle-aged man inhaled sharply.
"The kid who destroyed the Type-500 Civilization battleship?"
The three women nodded.
"Yes."
Another father immediately spoke.
"Where did he even go?"
The third rubbed his forehead.
"Wasn't he always saying..."
"'I'm bored.'"
"'I want to cultivate.'"
"And then he disappeared?"
The two childhood sweethearts exchanged knowing glances.
The school beauty smiled faintly.
One of the childhood sweethearts finally spoke.
"He's probably somewhere cultivating."
The other nodded.
"And secretly ignoring us."
The school beauty couldn't help laughing softly.
The three fathers nearly choked.
"Do you understand what happened last night?!"
"Those were Universe Kings!"
"Not one."
"Almost fifteen!"
"And they vanished!"
The three women froze.
Clearly shocked.

### Chapter 1749 — Remembering The Past
One of the childhood sweethearts asked softly—
"How strong was that Type-500 Civilization battleship back then?"
The three fathers became serious.
One finally answered—
"We still don't know."
"There were no power readings."
"Even after all these years."
"We still can't measure it."
The three women stared.
Then the school beauty quietly spoke—
"Back then..."
"We were only ten years old."
The two childhood sweethearts nodded.
Remembering the same scene.
The school beauty continued—
"Yang Lin simply raised his hand."
"And slid it downward."
"The alien fleet disappeared."
The room became silent.
Everyone remembered.
The impossible scene.
The unforgettable scene.
The three fathers exchanged horrified looks.
One finally shook his head.
His voice carried genuine fear.
"If that's true..."
"Then those aliens were probably far stronger than Universe Kings."
The room instantly became silent.
The two childhood sweethearts froze.
The school beauty froze.
All three women felt chills.

### Chapter 1750 — Was It Really Me?
Back inside the sect—
Yang Lin quietly observed everything through divine sense.
The two childhood sweethearts.
The school beauty.
The three fathers.
Their conversation.
Their realization.
Then he laughed internally.
*"Only realizing now?"*
*"How boring."*
Soon—
He looked toward Xue Yao.
Then calmly asked—
"What do you think happened to those Universe Kings last night?"
Xue Yao frowned.
Yang Lin smiled faintly.
"Was it really me?"
"Or wasn't it?"
The moment those words appeared—
Everyone froze.
Xue Yao's eyes narrowed.
Su Qinglan became speechless.
Xiao Rui looked horrified.
Han Qing felt goosebumps.
Han Chen rubbed his forehead.
Ning Mei slowly closed her book.
Even Daji opened both eyes completely.
Because everyone understood one thing—
When Yang Lin started asking questions like that—
The answer was usually far more terrifying than the question itself.
