"I..." Lan Xi was bound on the surgical table, and at the moment, she felt very embarrassed.

However, in her heart, she was secretly delighted. He rushed over to rescue her, which might mean that he was actually worried about her.

Quan Shaoqing walked to the front of the instruments of the surgical bed, casually clicked a few times, and all the iron buckles binding Lan Xi were loosened.

Lan Xi sat up from the surgical bed but didn’t get down. Instead, she looked at Quan Shaoqing and extended her hands, saying, "Hold me, my foot is injured."

Quan Shaoqing suspiciously looked at her ankle, stepped forward intending to take off her boots to examine them.

However, before he could touch her foot, Lan Xi slapped his hand away, "Presumptuous, how can you look at my foot? Come over and hold me!"

Quan Shaoqing’s face turned dark instantly; this woman!?

He stepped forward, albeit reluctantly, and bent down to pick up Lan Xi from the bed.

Lan Xi took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his neck, snuggled against his chest, and closed her eyes with enjoyment as she inhaled the scent of ambergris on him.

Quan Shaoqing felt like the woman in his arms was scratching his chest like a cat, for some reason, his body inexplicably heated up.

He thought about shaking her off, but he didn’t quite dare.

Just as he was about to leave with Lan Xi, they were discovered.

Immediately several missiles targeted Quan Shaoqing and Lan Xi.

Quan Shaoqing instinctively frowned.

These weapons were all spread out from the Imperial Power Clan, and he knew their potency very well.

If hit by one, even an immortal couldn’t avoid being hurt.

He didn’t think twice and was about to disappear with Lan Xi in his arms.

But Lan Xi grabbed his wrist, jumped down from him, and faced those soldiers fully armed with helmets, saying, "I advise you to put down your weapons. Misusing chemical agents and spreading weapons, your days are numbered."

"What a joke, biochemical drugs can make us live forever. We’ve already found another Alien Continent where life can exist. As long as we can go to the Alien Continent, we can still live," the leading officer said proudly.

Lan Xi sneered, "Ignorance!"

As her words fell, the other side had already fired.

Lan Xi grabbed Quan Shaoqing’s hand, and immortal qi swirled around them forming a hard shield.

At the moment the missile exploded, she waved her hand, forcibly reflecting the immense impact of the missile back.

She already pointed the direction to these people, yet they returned kindness with ingratitude.

Lan Xi took Quan Shaoqing and fled the scene.

In mid-air, the two stood there, both with heavy expressions.

Lan Xi sighed, saying, "The Purple Microstar turns red, and the Big Dipper has vanished. The fortune of this world has been exhausted."

"What do you mean?" Quan Shaoqing didn’t understand.

Lan Xi pointed to the horizon, saying, "That’s the will of the heavens. The Goddess Palace creates stars, continents, parallel worlds. Granting life to the world, once life has evolved to its peak and energy is depleted, that’s the time of destruction."

"Destruction?" Quan Shaoqing didn’t get it, "Aren’t you the ones who love the mortal world the most? Why destroy it?"

Lan Xi explained, "Destruction is also a form of rebirth.

As sea levels rise, the land is submerged, those massively destructive weapons, those greedy hearts will all be washed away by the tides.

Then after a thousand years, new animals, humans, and new systems will appear in the world.

Humans will be reborn and redevelop from this world. "

"A thousand years? Isn’t it thirty-six thousand five hundred years?" Quan Shaoqing’s memory also recalls several instances of world destruction and recreation of humans.

It’s just that this process was slow.

Lan Xi turned back to glare at him, "Stupid, a thousand years in heaven is thirty-six thousand five hundred years on earth, isn’t it?"

"Oh!" Quan Shaoqing nodded, realizing that when put this way, it didn’t seem like a long time.

In a thousand years, humans would evolve anew.

Moreover, during this period, there were other continents and planets.

Quan Shaoqing glanced up and down at Lan Xi, seeing her looking composed, he stared at her feet and asked, "Your foot doesn’t hurt anymore?"

Lan Xi’s spine stiffened upon hearing this, and the next second, she quickly stood on her tiptoes and exclaimed, "Ouch! It hurts so much!"

Quan Shaoqing looked at the pained expression and, knowing full well she was likely faking, still stepped forward to pick her up.

Imperial Authority Realm.

Lan Xi lay on Quan Shaoqing’s back as he carried her back to her chamber.

After arranging accommodation for Lan Xi, Quan Shaoqing placed her on the bed and instructed, "You take a good rest, I have some matters to handle."

Lan Xi, however, held onto his hand, not letting go, "You won’t just leave and not come back, will you?"

She looked like a mischievous child, with her large sparkling eyes staring at him.

He couldn’t help but feel a surge of warmth, and without knowing why, he nodded silently and said, "I’ll be back soon."

"Alright, you can’t lie to me. I’ll wait here for you to come back for dinner. If you don’t come back, I’ll come looking for you," Lan Xi instructed seriously.

Hearing this, Quan Shaoqing nodded and turned around, striding away.

Lan Xi sighed. She had already humbled herself to run and offer a warm smile to a cold reception.

She still didn’t know if Ah Qing had any fondness for her.

Quan Shaoqing left the room, and a faint smile appeared on his cold and stern face.

Who would have thought that Lan Xi, who was always feared and respected by everyone, had such a nature.

Although a bit willful, she was also very cute.

Quan Shaoqing retrieved the important data on the 420th Mortal Realm, given that the mortal world’s time had come, he decided not to concern himself anymore.

A thousand years later, the 420th Mortal Realm would be another kind of glory.

Lan Xi lay on the bed waiting and waiting.

Finally, it was time for dinner, and she stood by the window watching and watching, but Quan Shaoqing still hadn’t come.

Just as she was getting anxious, thinking that if he didn’t show up soon, she would have to go find him.

Suddenly, someone appeared behind her.

Lan Xi was startled. When she saw the person clearly, she happily moved forward, grabbing his arm, "Ah Qing! I’ve been here for some days, shouldn’t you take me to see the Imperial Authority Realm?"

Quan Shaoqing found himself unable to refuse her clinging, had lunch with her, then took her for a walk around the Imperial Authority Realm.

Lan Xi discovered that the Imperial Authority Realm was by no means smaller than the Immortal Realm.

Though the Immortal Realm was rich in spiritual energy, and people there engaged in cultivation and flew freely.

In contrast, the Imperial Authority Realm was a technologically advanced era.

Skyscrapers and palaces were layered upon each other.

Cars, planes, and spaceships of every kind could be found.

Quan Shaoqing explained, "The Imperial Power Clan is the embodiment of wisdom. Citizens are endowed from birth with special abilities and intelligent minds. We select the best among them to go to the mortal world to impart knowledge, from farming to crafting and on to technological development. The process of the era’s evolution cannot be separated from everyone’s guidance. "

"Why do you hold so much power in the mortal world?" Lan Xi was puzzled.

"It’s quite normal, to better facilitate the development of the era, to build authority, control the world’s economic lifeline, and maintain world peace. We naturally hold our own development systems, and having power is essential."
