Demon World.
The ancient transmission array leading to Earth had long been destroyed by the Sword Sect. To return to Earth, one must travel through the Dark River beneath the Demon World to the Dark Volcano on Monster Planet. From there, one can use the transmission array at Monster Planet’s Earth Base to return.
Before long, Qin Shou fused with the Dark River and arrived at the depths of the Dark Volcano. After years of accumulation by the Pioneer Base, countless Dark Energy Crystals had been ford.
Gathering these Dark Energy Crystals, Qin Shou left the Dark Volcano and headed straight for the Earth Base.
Now a demigod, Qin Shou could reach the Earth Base within an hour without any assistance.
Hovering above the shielded base city, ripples stirred in the void as Qin Shou’s figure slowly appeared.
Taking in the thriving city before him, Qin Shou smiled faintly. As gasps of shock and exclamations filled the air, he disappeared into the void once more.
"Oh my goodness, rging with the void—that’s the power of a demigod!"
"That slightly curled hair... that’s Earth’s youngest Supre!"
...
Earth, West City.
Tis had changed drastically—West City was no longer what it used to be, the difference akin to night and day.
Towering structures, thousands of ters high, were scattered everywhere.
Crystal fraworks wove through the city, with automated elevators moving up and down seamlessly, and magnetic levitation trains speeding through. The era of catching buses to school was long gone.
Small aircraft darted through the jungle of steel, amidst streams of vehicles. The entire city sparkled under a vibrant cascade of neon lights.
In less than five years, West City had grown into an entity rivaling the Federation Main City.
Walking along the pedestrian path at the city’s base, Qin Shou gazed up at the sprawling steel skyline, seeking remnants of distant mories from his past.
Unfortunately, the city had beco incomparably unfamiliar.
Unnoticed, a towering statue entered Qin Shou’s view, standing resolute at the city’s heart.
[Earth’s Supre - Qin Shou]
"Uh..."
Scratching his head awkwardly, Qin Shou wondered if erecting his own statue in the city’s core was a bit too ostentatious.
"Dear friends of West City, good evening! It’s the release event for Fengshen Group’s latest product, and we’re honored to have Chairman Fang Bao joining us today..."
On a crystal display nearest to the statue, a poised host smiled at the suit-clad Fang Bao opposite her.
"Chairman Fang, we’ve heard Fengshen Group chose West City for the initial promotion and sales of this product. Could you tell us why you chose this city?"
With a polished smile, Fang Bao looked at the cara and said, "Ahem. I chose West City not only because I’m a fan of Principal Qin, but also because West City has beco one of the most prosperous cities globally. It’s a personally aningful location for ."
The host chuckled, engaging Fang Bao in several lighthearted exchanges before moving on to the main topic.
"Chairman Fang, could you share what new product Fengshen Group is presenting this ti?"
Fang Bao smiled warmly. "After several years of dedicated research and developnt, Fengshen Group proudly brings you the latest Ultraman cha..."
The cara shifted to focus on a sleek red-and-blue Sailor cha, its streamlined fra gleaming prominently.
Qin Shou: "..."
This gluttonous fool. After all these years, could he co up with sothing new? These are so yesterday...
Shaking his head, Qin Shou looked up at the floating giant island in West City’s sky.
That was now the residence of his parents, guarded by dozens of giant stone statues. It was also one of the most watched locations in the world.
...
Under the starry night, lights flooded the floating giant island, where a grand welcoming party was underway.
At the round table, Fang Bao, sporting faint stubble, stood up and held his glass high with drunken cheer. "Everyone, let’s toast to our dearest Qin Shou, shall we?"
Beside him, Yu Shusheng coughed softly, murmuring, "Chairman Fang, it’s Principal—not classmate. Look at all the people here!"
Lin Xiaoi tugged at Yu Shusheng. "Principal Qin? Fatty looks drunk; he probably didn’t hear you."
Yu Shusheng pointed with pursed lips across the table. "Look there—that’s who’s really drunk."
On the other side, Sika and Lei held hands, circling Qin Shou with flushed faces, entirely unaware of their actions.
At the head seat, Qin Guofang and Hua Ping exchanged a warm smile.
"Haha, dear, I think we might finally have grandchildren."
"Hehe, sweetheart, at this rate, we’ll have more than one!"
"Right, right... All thanks to us brewing this Nightmare Level Flower Beast Wine; the results are remarkable."
"Oh, oh, look—there seems to be another girl joining in! Our son is amazing!"
"Wait, isn’t that Xiao Bai?"
"Who’s the girl next to Xiao Bai with the antlers? Are Beast God Masters still around nowadays?"
"Dear, what are you looking at? Those are dragon horns—it’s just our son’s pet."
"Pet? Is our son’s taste that... unique?"
"Oh, who cares... Wait, wait, sothing’s off! Quick, stop Long Xia! What’s he doing being the third wheel at a ti like this..."
...
Late into the night, Qin Shou escorted the intoxicated guests back to their rooms one by one and sat at the entrance, gazing at the stars above.
"Sigh, everyone is drunk while I alone remain sober... A strong one is destined to be lonely forever..."
"Haha, silly brat, what are you brooding about here?"
The void stirred, and Qin Long stepped forward, casually patting Qin Shou’s head.
Qin Shou turned around, looking exasperated.
"Principal, why didn’t you join the party earlier for a drink?"
Qin Long shook his head. "I’m getting old; have to watch my health."
Qin Shou curled his lips. "A demigod needing to watch his health?"
Could you be any more perfunctory?
"Principal, what about Elder Long’s ssage?"
Qin Long approached, sitting beside Qin Shou, and pulled out a card shimring with mystical light.
"Here, Elder Long wanted to give this to you. He doesn’t have ti to join you in your antics."
