Supreme God

Zhong Cheng had shed his youthful naiveté. When they first met in their Old Earth, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He received a simple and brutal lesson when he sparred with Wang Xuan.

At the crucial moment that year, his sister stepped forward and stood in front of him, which caused Wang Xuan to be slightly unable to stop in time, causing Little Zhong's clothes to burst open with a crackling sound. Zhong Qing was so frightened that she fainted, thinking that the already impoverished place had become even more barren.

Even now, Zhong Qing remains the same as before, without makeup. Her pure and beautiful face is free of cosmetics, exuding youthful energy in its simplicity and naturalness.

Of course, she looked unfriendly now, having been "exposed" by that Old Wang again, but she really couldn't use that title anymore.

Both she and her brother had been taken into the Inner Scenery Realm by Wang Xuan. Nourished by Mysterious Factor, her face became delicate, her figure slender and graceful.

"Old Zhong." Wang Xuan greeted Old Zhong, quite curious about the old man. This old fellow probably really liked the song "I really want to live another five hundred years" and had put it into practice.

He's 110 or 120 years old, but he looks so handsome that people would believe he's Zhong Cheng's younger brother.

In fact, even Zhong Cheng had privately complained that the old man was practically like his older brother, attracting more attention from young girls than he did when they were together.

Now, Zhong Yong is tall and slender with long legs. His face is slightly youthful, and his kind and innocent appearance makes Wang Xuan feel that he is too enchanting!

Old Zhong and Wang Xuan chatted and laughed. Although they looked like they could be squeezed out of water, their words and actions were too experienced. This was not only because they had rich life experience, but also because they were originally very powerful people. Otherwise, they would not have survived to this day and become the leading figures in the conglomerate.

As they walked and talked, they arrived at his health retreat. The ancient tree was lush and green, and the colorful mushrooms, some as tall as two or three people, had a pleasant fragrance.

"What a huge poisonous mushroom," Wang Xuan exclaimed.

Old Zhong corrected him, saying, "Lingzhi, and the legendary five-colored Lingzhi at that. It's very good for your health. Would you like to try some?"

This is awkward. There are such large Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms? Wang Xuan had never seen one like this before.

In the mountains, green vines bear golden buds, maple trees scatter snow-white petals, and lakes dot the landscape. Several quiet courtyards are situated in front, surrounded by Purple Bamboo Forest, creating a scene of a paradise on earth.

When Zhong Cheng saw that Wang Xuan and his great-grandfather were having a very engaging conversation and hadn't even spoken to the two siblings, he interrupted and asked him what was going on, whether they were still superhumans.

Instead, Wang Xuan asked him if he had taken any extra classes here since he hadn't graduated from high school, and then looked at Zhong Qing and asked if he had continued his studies after dropping out of university.

Zhong Cheng glanced at him sideways and said, "I was already a sophomore when I left, okay? You're such a hypocrite who pretends to care about me!"

Little Zhong rolled his eyes.

Wang Xuan didn't actively engage in deep conversations with the siblings. Seeing Zhou Yun's changes and hearing Zhao Qinghan's best friend's words, he felt that simply maintaining the relationship was enough. It was best to preserve the good old times with the tycoons and these old friends with certain backgrounds, rather than getting too involved in the future. He felt that they weren't from the same circle, and in the end, some paths and some ideas might become obstacles for each other.

He came here mainly out of curiosity about Old Zhong, but his primary purpose was to talk to Old Zhong and see what information he had collected about the cosmic rift.

Over the years, the Zhong family's fleet must have frequently traveled there, and Old Zhong must have obtained the most comprehensive data and information.

"If you want to know about that place, I'll have someone compile it all for you, including the spaceship's navigation log and all the footage we've captured." Old Zhong was quite straightforward.

Soon, the Mechanical Xiao connected with the relevant people and collected this data.

"This mechanical creature is so cute, does it have a name?" Zhong Qing thought it was adorable and somewhat endearing.

"Little Bear," Wang Xuan said.

Zhong Qing immediately misunderstood and revealed a murderous look in her eyes.

"Wang Xuan, what's your current condition? Do you think we can go back now?" Zhong Yong, who looked like a young man, asked with a very serious expression.

"My condition is a bit special. I think you can go back without any problem."

The tycoons and the remaining Supernatural Practitioner are wary of each other, and no one wants to disrupt the balance. Moreover, in general, as time goes by, all traces of the superhumans will be erased.

Finally, Zhong Cheng pulled Wang Xuan and his sister away to the distant town, saying, "Let's go. What's there to talk about with an old man? I'll treat you to a special fruit wine unique to this planet. One sip and your whole body will be filled with its refreshing fragrance, which won't dissipate for a day or two."

"Be careful, or your great-grandfather will hear you and hang you up to beat you!" Zhong Qing glanced back.

Wang Xuan discovered that the siblings were still the same as before; although they had been separated for five or six years, they were still as enthusiastic as ever when they met again, with no change whatsoever.

He felt somewhat ashamed, and this time he didn't try to downplay anything, as if he had returned to yesterday.

"Are you married yet?" In a dimly lit bar, Zhong Cheng put his hand on Wang Xuan's shoulder, his mouth full of the distinctive aroma of alcohol, and asked in a low voice.

"Not yet," Wang Xuan said.

"Wow, you're almost thirty! You might not even have kids, but it's about time you got married, right?" Zhong Cheng laughed.

"What do you mean 'approaching thirty'? I'm 18, okay?" Wang Xuan corrected him.

"Twenty-eight is not the same as twenty-eight. Don't pretend to be young. What do you think of my sister? To be honest, there are really no young talents on this damn desolate planet. My sister is already over twenty-five." He whispered, naturally not daring to say it in front of his sister. He only dared to mutter it after seeing her go to the bathroom.

"We're too familiar with each other, I can't bring myself to do it," Wang Xuan said. In fact, he was going to travel far away in the future and might leave this universe, so he didn't want to be involved in this matter too much.

"Keep pretending. Back then, you took advantage of my youth and ignorance, and tricked me out of my sister's photo album..."

Wang Xuan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. In any case, aside from the first half-book, Zhong Cheng did give him a complete real photo album before leaving New Star, and it's still there. Of course, he didn't ask for it.

"My situation is complicated, so I won't hold you back any longer," Wang Xuan said.

Just then, Zhong Qing returned, her youthful beauty attracting attention in the dimly lit bar.

This small town has a population of about 100,000. A lot of people moved here a long time ago. It is the rear area of the Zhong family. Many people do not know the brother and sister and do not know their identity.

Wang Xuan turned around and was taken aback. The Old Zhong had also arrived and was drinking on the other side. He was quite popular, and a Chang Qing and beautiful woman took the initiative to sit next to him.

Zhong Cheng rubbed his forehead with his hand and whispered, "I'm really afraid he'll give birth to another baby boy!"

Zhong Qing said, "Say less. Great-grandfather is still a super Great Grandmaster. His hearing is exceptionally sharp. Besides, he has a firm will and doesn't get involved in any trouble."

Old Zhong shook off the alluring woman, picked up his wine glass, walked over, pushed Zhong Cheng aside, and sat down with Wang Xuan.

"Although I am far from the New Star and the Old Earth, I have heard some things about the Supernatural Realm. In this era, you became an Earth Immortal, killed the most powerful ghost spirit in this universe, and fought a bloody battle with Shang Yi, the Number One Person in the Land of Immortal Dao. You want to continue on the path of the extraordinary, right?"

Zhong Yong was very direct and frank; this time, he didn't resort to any deep-seated schemes.

"If one day you find a new path and want to leave this universe, take me with you," Old Zhong pleaded, his eyes shining.

This was somewhat unexpected for Wang Xuan. He was willing to abandon such a vast empire and step into that ethereal, long-extinguished Mythological World.

Besides, he has successfully reversed his aging process. Now that he is the most powerful person among the five super conglomerates, shouldn't he return to the mortal world and enjoy his power and status?

"Over a hundred years have passed, and I've had everything I was meant to enjoy and experience. I've exerted all my strength and finally got the chance to return to my youth. I don't want to relive my past life; I want to embark on the path of mythology." He said calmly, his eyes shining.

He told Wang Xuan that even if it was a path where he could die at any moment, he wanted to follow it and call him when he left.

"Okay!" What else could Wang Xuan say? He simply nodded.

Zhong Yong looked at the brother and sister and told them to pack their things and that they could go back at any time, while he would stay here for a while longer.

"Great-grandfather, aren't you being a little too cautious?" Zhong Cheng was more direct.

Embarrassed, Old Zhong slapped him, then frankly told Wang Xuan that the Zhong family had another life-bearing planet, and he planned to go there to live for a while.

He's been exposed here. Does he want to find another place to hide for a while longer? Wang Xuan remained silent.

"By the way, I have something for you here." Old Zhong changed the subject and had someone bring over two metal plates, one of which was made of Sun Gold and shone brilliantly.

The other piece, with a crimson halo, is Flame Gold, even rarer than Sun Gold. Both are rare treasures of the world, extremely valuable.

"These two pieces of divine gold were obtained by my people when they were exploring that desolate land, which is the starry sky beyond the cosmic rift. They were traded for a large sum of money and a large amount of resources from two wild planets. According to the local tribal chief, these are sacred objects left behind by some supreme god."

After receiving the information, Old Zhong instructed the expedition team to immediately stay away from the two desolate planets and never approach them again.

When Wang Xuan received the two Divine Metal Plate, he immediately felt their weight. Upon closer inspection, he saw that both plates were engraved with intricate patterns and mysterious characters.

Although he didn't recognize the characters, he roughly understood them based on the carvings. Was this the method to become a god? One image after another depicted the process of mortals becoming gods.

"Interesting. Is the influence of that so-called supreme god really that great? It's not limited to one or two planets; his legend exists on many inhabited planets. Is this a sacred object for spreading his teachings?" Wang Xuan murmured, taking it seriously. This creature seemed very strong and extraordinary.

Old Zhong said, "My people have investigated and are certain that although such sacred objects exist on those two planets, no one has become a god. There are only some legends about supreme gods, and no real gods or extraordinary beings have ever been born in history."

He felt that if missionary work had failed on those two planets, it might not have failed in other regions as well.

"Perhaps I should search carefully to see if there are similar divine metal tablets on desolate planets with myths, and whether those myths were born from such sacred objects?"

Wang Xuan took his leave and prepared to depart.

Old Zhong asked him if he would return to his Old Earth after the investigation.

"It's been almost three years, I really should go back and take a look." Wang Xuan nodded.

"When you pass by here, call out to Zhong Cheng and Zhong Qing so they can come back to New Star with you. That way I'll feel more at ease."

Wang Xuan traveled far away, crossed the cosmic rift, and returned to the desolate land. Several days later, he established himself on a planet related to magic.

Half a month later, with his physical body comparable to that of an Earth Immortal and his possession of the There Are Supreme Treasures, the Imperial Dao Spear, he entered the most powerful ancient religion on this planet and arrived at their divine court.

Although there was a brief unpleasantness, after he single-handedly cracked the sacred mountain of that ancient religion, the Pope appeared, treated him with great courtesy, and received him.

Wang Xuan saw the third Divine Metal Plate here. It was indeed a sacred object left behind by the supreme god. All kinds of extraordinary techniques on this planet originated from the Divine Metal Plate.

He asked the pope to translate it, wrote down the contents of the Divine Metal Plate, and then left.

Wang Xuan felt that there was something special about this desolate place, and he wanted to figure out what was on these Divine Metal Plate.

"If these Divine Metal Plate were bound together, they would most likely form a very large book, with each page capable of making one a god?"

Wang Xuan left temporarily, reunited with the Zhong family two days later, and then embarked on his journey home.

Several days later, the fleet traversed the wormhole and appeared near the New Star. Wang Xuan declined Zhong Cheng and Zhong Qing's invitation and disappeared, returning to his Old Earth.

"Son, you still know how to come back?" Jiang Yun was very dissatisfied, and Old Wang even slapped him on the back of the neck.

"Eat up, Yuanxiao." After complaining, Jiang Yun was actually quite happy and set out bowls and chopsticks for him.

Wang Xuan was surprised to find that he returned on the Lantern Festival. He had been away in the Depths of Starry Sky for nearly three years, while the extraordinary had been disintegrated for almost six years.

The return of the Zhong family, New Star, has caused a sensation. Even the most cautious and meticulous Zhong family fleet has returned; does this mean that superhumans are no longer so dangerous?

Meanwhile, news spread that the Zhong family had a chance encounter with Wang Xuan in deep space, and many people learned that Wang Xuan had returned.

Don't wait for the second chapter, everyone. I've been trying to travel through the Underworld Hours timeline, but I've failed repeatedly. I'm in tears. I'll try to defy fate one more time.
