661: Chapter 661 A Tangled Heart

He couldn't just destroy the Earth; Chen Yun would die too, which would be counterproductive!

The middle-aged man stood in the empty rental apartment, his expression shifting uncertainly.

He tried to continue tracking the route Chen Yun had taken, but there were no clues left!

Reading the memories of everyone in the area and checking the surveillance footage had failed to reveal any trace of her!

"Damn it, could she have used An Ran's power to escape? But why didn't I sense it?"

At this point, he reached a deadlock and could only report the situation to Nangong Tian.

On the bridge of the Tianling Ship, Nangong Tian nearly exploded with rage after hearing the report.

"A Divine-Grade existence, and you can't even catch a young girl who just had her Awakening?"

"My lord, please calm your anger! That girl has extremely strong anti-surveillance instincts, and she seems to have guessed that we are looking for her; she hasn't used An Ran's power at all. Although I can sense the aura of everyone on the planet, I have never been in contact with her, so it is impossible to distinguish her from billions of people. This subordinate deserves to die!"

Nangong Tian took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "Issue a global wanted notice! No need to hide anymore. Issue a global warrant to all countries on Earth. A heavy reward for capturing Chen Yun alive. If she isn't found within two days, the whole world will be buried with her!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator: "My lord, this… wouldn't it be too conspicuous? What if the Void Realm…"

"The Void Realm's reach does not extend here. Do as I say."

"Yes!!!"

Before long, the wanted notice was released!

And it was solemnly issued in the name of the Aliens!

"The Aliens have issued a wanted notice! They say they are looking for a girl named Chen Yun!"

"If she isn't found within two days, the whole world will be buried with her? Isn't this a blatant threat?"

"What right do they have? We Earthlings are not their slaves!"

"No, what exactly did that girl do? Why do the Aliens want to catch her?"

"I don't know. The notice only says she is suspected of endangering the safety of the Universe. Who would believe that?"

"I bet it's because that girl had an Awakening of some powerful Bloodline, and the Aliens want to study her…"

"That still doesn't give them the right to threaten the lives of all humanity! That's too much!"

The heads of state held an emergency video conference, the atmosphere tenser than ever before.

Some advocated handing her over, some advocated resistance, some remained silent, and some slammed the table and cursed!

The President of the West stood up, facing the global live broadcast, and stated sternly: "On behalf of the West, I strongly condemn the hegemonic actions of the Aliens! Earth is not a colony of any force, and the people of Earth are not the servants of any force! We demand that the Aliens immediately stop their aggression on Earth, immediately revoke the wanted notice, and leave Earth!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a beam of light descended from the sky, landing squarely in the center of the Western continent!

There was no explosion, no loud noise, only silence!

The beam of light lasted for three seconds and then vanished!

Along with it, the entire Western continent disappeared, turning into nothingness!

Seawater rushed into the void, forming a massive whirlpool, kicking up waves hundreds of meters high that crashed toward the surrounding coastlines.

Everyone was stunned.

No one spoke, no one moved, no one dared to breathe.

It wasn't until many netizens posted about this incident online that the whole world exploded in chaos!

No one dared to question the words of the Aliens anymore, and no one dared to publicly express any opposition! Governments around the world scrambled to show their support, fully cooperating with the Aliens' wanted notice!

The military, police, and intelligence agencies were all mobilized, determined to dig three feet into the ground to find the girl named Chen Yun!

On the bridge of the Tianling Ship, Nangong Tian watched the scenes of various governments scrambling to show their loyalty in the holographic projection, a cold sneer curling his lips.

Of course, all of this was arranged by him!

The President of the West was merely a Puppet they controlled from the shadows; those impassioned words were a script they had written in advance!

What they wanted was an excuse, an excuse to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!

To let these low-level natives see what happens to those who do not obey!

The effect was ideal; everyone was now obediently listening!

As for the lives within the Western continent?

In his eyes, they were less than ants!

"Keep searching. As long as that girl uses An Ran's power one more time, we will be able to lock onto her location. She cannot escape!"

"Yes!!!"

Meanwhile.

In the East, in a city along the coast, on the outskirts, inside a dilapidated wooden cabin.

Chen Yun supported her grandparents as she pushed open the door and walked inside.

This was a temporary residence her grandparents had rented years ago while searching for their missing child. They had built it themselves, and since it couldn't be sold, they had kept it.

They had never thought they would return, and they had never thought they would return in this manner.

The grandmother leaned on a wooden chair, the grandfather sat beside her, and Chen Yun opened her phone and tuned it to a news channel.

Her photo appeared on the screen.

It was the ID photo she had taken upon graduating from high school, and it was now displayed across all television stations worldwide as a wanted notice.

Subtitles scrolled continuously across the top.

"Chen Yun, female, 18 years old, citizen of the East. Suspected of endangering the safety of the Universe. Currently globally wanted. A heavy reward for anyone providing effective clues. Must surrender within two days, or face the consequences!"

Seeing this, the grandmother's eyes rolled back, her body went limp, and she slid right off the sofa.

"Grandma! Grandma!"

Chen Yun lunged over, supporting her grandmother's head, and frantically pinched her philtrum.

The grandfather was also panicked, squatting down tremblingly to check his wife's breath: "It's okay, it's okay, she just fainted!"

Chen Yun carried her grandmother to the bed, covered her with a quilt, then returned to the living room and slumped onto a wooden chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

How did things turn out like this?

She only wanted to protect her grandparents, only wanted to drive away those bad people. Why did it escalate to a global wanted notice?

Are the Aliens coming to catch her too?

The grandfather sat beside her, silent for a long time.

He didn't blame his granddaughter; she was saving her life!

But so many people had died; even without the Aliens' wanted notice, the domestic police would not let her go!

A life for a life—it was only natural!

But why would the Aliens want to put out a warrant for Chen Yun?

An eighteen-year-old country girl who hadn't even left the province—how could she endanger the safety of the Universe?

Chen Yun was also lost in thought.

Zhao Hu had tampered with her Bloodline information; no one at the Statistics Bureau should know that she had an Awakening of an Angel!

If the Aliens possessed the kind of sensory abilities found in novels, they should have been able to find her directly without needing a global wanted notice!

The fact that they couldn't find her meant they could only track her by some means when she used her power!

In other words, as long as she didn't use the Angel's power again, they wouldn't be able to lock onto her location!

As for why they issued a global wanted notice—that was unknown!

She bit her lip.

If it were just for herself, she might go out and surrender.

But if she went out, what would happen to her grandparents?

They had already lost one child and hadn't found them after sixteen years of searching…

If they lost her too, they really wouldn't be able to go on living!

She couldn't go out, at least not now!
