"No way, it's said that Qin Shou is always full of sches. Who can guarantee he's not trying to lure us out to wipe us out completely?"
"That... might be possible. But we can't just do nothing, can we?"
"Let think... Oh, right! If we withdraw from the Monster Planet battlefield, could we..."
"No, even if we retreat from Monster Planet and show weakness, that kid's temperant wouldn't let us off!"
"Then we'll have no choice but to fight."
"Fight? People already said we're no match for him; that's courting death."
"Sigh, then what should we do? We can't beat him, and withdrawing from Monster Planet is useless. Begging for rcy is out of the question, isn't it?"
"Yeah, and if we call him Big Brother, where does that leave our dignity?"
"Since that's the case, there's only one option left."
"What option?"
"Run. Far away. Disconnect the transmission array of Monster Planet. With our power, we can move the planet to the depths of the universe, making it impossible for him to find us."
"There's no other way..."
The two discussed for a while, then each returned to Drue Planet and Giant God Planet to prepare for evacuation.
anwhile, on the Desolate Planet, Qin Shou remained lying motionless. The dazzling star river slowly subrged the giant body, while Nuaxin draped a thin veil over him.
Soon after, Leng Wanbai arrived to take Qin Shou back to Earth.
...
West City.
As soon as Qin Shou appeared, reporters sward him.
"Principal Qin, could you tell us when you advanced to the Divine Realm?"
"Principal Qin, do you have any future plans for the chanical Main City?"
"Principal Qin, we heard you've been sick recently. What illness could a Divine Realm expert not resist? Is it contagious..."
"Principal Qin, what's your secret to maintaining victory?"
Leng Wanbai was just about to dismiss the reporters when she suddenly heard this question. Her face instantly changed.
It's over.
The next mont, the sound of sobbing ca from beside her.
Tears filled Qin Shou's eyes. The secret to victory—he wanted to know it too!!
...
West City, Sky Island.
When Qin Shou returned, his eyes red, he saw Qin Long had been waiting for him for a long ti.
Looking at Qin Shou's current state, Qin Long shook his head and sighed.
"I didn't expect it to be this serious. As the principal, I'm really curious—did you actually los..."
"Cough, cough, Principal, shush!" Fang Bao quickly reminded him.
Qin Long's old face darkened. Even the word couldn't be ntioned—this must be the latter stages of lancholy.
"Student Qin Shou, don't worry. It's just depression. It's easy to cure. Go find Elder Long; he should have a solution."
Qin Shou drooped his eyelids and replied with a faint "Oh," then suddenly sighed deeply.
"I'm so tired. Where's Elder Long?"
"Pluto."
...
At the edge of the Solar System, Pluto: a planet as dead as it gets.
Endless glaciers stretched out, littered with monster corpses already turned to stone. The remains of various bizarre alien life forms could even be seen, half-buried within the ice, making the deathly silent, airless, soundless, and chilling environnt even more eerie.
At so unknown mont, a slouched figure, ignoring the laws of physics, walked atop the glaciers.
"Mom... Dad... see this? This is Pluto."
At this mont, Qin Shou manipulated the Power of Ti with his fingertips, maintaining the signal of the communicator as he weakly rotated the cara toward the surrounding environnt.
In the video, Hua Ping and Qin Guofang gazed in fascination at Pluto's scenery, intrigued.
"We see it, we see it. So, this is Pluto! And look at all those alien corpses. Hey, honey, we should travel to Pluto soday!"
"Alright, alright, that's a good idea. But there aren't any hotels there. We'll need to prepare a capsule apartnt."
"Yes, yes—and food, supplies, clothes, oh, and we haven't updated our social groups for ages. If we travel to Pluto, all those relatives and friends will definitely be envious..."
Qin Shou:"..."
Seriously, sending a sick man to scout vacation spots—do you even care?!
"Hanging up."
Qin Shou disconnected the communicator with a sigh.
When will this life ever end!
He reminisced about the vibrant days of youth, the rush of running under the setting sun—that was my fading youth...
"Buzz..."
At that mont, ripples spread through the Void, and Elder Long's figure appeared before Qin Shou.
"Xiao Qin, why're you so late? There's no traffic along this route." Elder Long chuckled.
Qin Shou shuffled lifelessly forward and slightly bowed.
"Elder Long."
"Mm, follow ."
Elder Long waved his hand, and the glaciers and corpses vanished instantly as the two arrived at Pluto's Earth Core. Familiar black and white energy painted the entire Earth Core World.
"The junction of the Light and Dark River!" Qin Shou's eyelids twitched, but he quickly reverted to his dim expression.
Elder Long said, "Correct, this is the junction of the Light and Dark River, as well as its center."
He walked along the riverbank of the Light and Dark River, his expression solemn.
"All these years, I've been suppressing the center of the Light and Dark River. One of my purposes was to wait for your arrival."
"Wait for ? For what?" Qin Shou's gaze revealed doubt.
"Of course, to wait for your return from Mirror Planet."
"Mirror Planet..."
Thinking about the Magic Mirror, Qin Shou started feeling ill again.
Elder Long sighed and used the Ti Law to suppress the gray aura within Qin Shou's body.
Qin Shou's complexion improved slightly, gradually returning to normal. His entire being felt unusually refreshed.
Effortlessly quelling the power of lethargy—it showcased just how terrifying Elder Long's mastery of the Ti Law was.
"Elder Long, how did you know I would definitely return from Mirror Planet?" Qin Shou asked gravely.
Elder Long's face turned mysterious as he gazed at the turbulent boundary of the Light and Dark River.
"Wanna hear my story?"
"Not wanting to... is impossible." Qin Shou smirked awkwardly.
"You brat—it'd be better if you stayed lancholic forever!" Elder Long chuckled, mockingly.
Then, Elder Long took a deep breath and began speaking slowly.
"I rember back in the Old Era, in the year 2025, I was just an ordinary university student with a fair-skinned, beautiful girlfriend..."
"Cough, cough, Elder Long, no need to ntion your girlfriend. I know I'm single." Qin Shou muttered.
"Haha, my bad, let start over."
"I rember that year, the city suffered a massive earthquake. When I first saw Godzilla, the terrifying Titan Giant Beast towering over a hundred ters high, my worldview was completely turned upside down.
That ti, many people died—so many...
As Godzilla, Mutant Monsters, and King Ghidorah continued to erge, the world beca increasingly chaotic, and warfare and hatred among humans erupted completely...
I was very fortunate to et a friend with extraordinary power. He wasn't much older than , yet he could control the monsters to save the world.
I considered him my best friend and even introduced him to my girlfriend...
One day, he told he was leaving—heading to a faraway place.
I didn't know why back then. Overco with emotion, I inexplicably awakened a great power.
It wasn't so much an awakening but rather breaking a seal.
He told that I was born a god, destined to bear an unshakable burden.
After that, he vanished.
And I resolved to take his place in protecting Earth and safeguarding my hotown.
Within a re few years, I suppressed all Titan Giant Beasts, and the world regained peace.
I always rembered his words: when human technology develops to its peak, it will bring destruction. So, I continued to suppress the developnt of human technology from behind the scenes.
But a hundred years later, Earth was invaded by alien life. At that ti, my power was suppressed by an unknown force and couldn't intervene.
To give humanity a ans of self-preservation, I handed cha technology to them. That ti, humanity successfully defeated the enemy using their own strength.
Afterward, I restored Earth's technology to its state from a century ago.
But within another hundred years, Earth faced a fresh crisis: mutations in Earth creatures, alien invasions, the Galaxy Alliance discovering Earth, and humans continuing to feud among themselves.
During this latest crisis, my seal was completely broken, and my power reached its peak. Before I could intervene in Earth's disaster, I was rejected by Earth and forced to leave.
I shared my research on human evolution, hoping they could save themselves.
But as Earth's situation grew ever more complex, I was compelled to give cha technology and all the Beast Cultivation Technology I'd developed over the years to humanity.
Because of this, I trained Little Dragon and the others, helping save the Earth from near extinction.
Whether introducing these innovations to Earth will result in the destructive end he predicted—I still don't know.
I've lived in constant fear all these years, until I found you, Qin Shou." Elder Long smiled kindly.
"Why?" Qin Shou asked absent-mindedly.
If Elder Long's words were true, then his so-called friend must have been the previous System Owner!
Elder Long was nothing more than a pawn in shaping that person's worldview.
Elder Long might have realized the truth long ago, but he simply refused to believe it—deceiving himself.
