The Return

"Dad, is that Blue Star?"

Inside a spaceship, a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old looked at the middle-aged man next to her and couldn't help but ask a question.

The spaceship had just emerged from the Dark Universe and could already vaguely see the star system where Blue Star was located.

"Right."

The middle-aged man nodded, patted the little girl's head, and said softly, "For a long time to come, we'll be living on Blue Star."

To secure a permanent residency spot on Blue Star, the middle-aged man practically went bankrupt, squandering all his savings accumulated over the years.

As for why they did this, it was naturally for the upcoming war.

For centuries, war mobilization initiated from the top down by the Supreme Being has been implemented in the thirty-seven Galactic Human Empire.

War is coming, and it will be the most intense war yet. According to the predictions of the three Supreme Being, if the Human Race is defeated in this war, it will lose more than half of its territory.

Under such circumstances, citizens of the various Galactic Human Empire naturally try every means to ensure their safety.

Of the thirty-seven Galactic Human Empire, the safest places are undoubtedly the various Imperial Star.

The Imperial Star is the core of a Galactic Human Empire, and the residence of the emperor and nobles, so its security is beyond question.

Even if the empire falls, the citizens of the Imperial Star will have options for escape.

However, the permanent residency slots on the Imperial Star are too expensive, especially now during wartime, and are simply beyond the reach of someone like a middle-aged man.

Therefore, the middle-aged man's choices were limited to the various main stars under the Imperial Star of the Galactic Human Empire.

After much deliberation, the middle-aged man ultimately chose Blue Star.

"With so many main stars to choose from, why pick this Blue Star?"

Beside the middle-aged man sat a woman; they appeared to be husband and wife. The woman clearly didn't quite understand the man's choice. "According to the information I found, this Blue Star was an indigenous planet seven or eight hundred years ago. If it weren't for the support of the Empire, it probably wouldn't even be able to leave its star system now."

Even among primary stars, there are differences in quality. Some primary stars have developed for hundreds of thousands or millions of years, giving birth to countless Stellar Lifeform and even Saint.

Such a main star is naturally safer.

As for Blue Star? In just seven or eight hundred years, let alone Saint, not many Stellar Lifeform have been born.

"What do you know?" The middle-aged man glared at his wife. "Even if we could afford the permanent residency slots on other major planets, we'd still be burdened with a huge loan. This Blue Star has far fewer permanent residency slots than those major planets."

"Most importantly"

The middle-aged man composed himself and paused for a moment.

If it were merely a matter of price, even a middle-aged man burdened with a huge loan would certainly choose the safer home planet.

After all, if one were to seek temporary gains and end up being caught in the crossfire of war, they might not even have the chance to repay their loans.

What truly convinced the middle-aged man to choose Blue Star as his permanent residence was his observation that Blue Star did not seem to be in a state of war.

On other major planets, in preparation for the upcoming war, large numbers of warships patrol the vicinity, maintaining a high level of vigilance. They even reduce trade to ensure that entry and exit are subject to sufficient scrutiny.

But Blue Star is different; things should be the same as they were hundreds of years ago.

This phenomenon is not common among the thirty-seven Galactic Human Empire. The middle-aged man keenly sensed through this that the Blue Star was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

The Empire's support and investment in Blue Star has only lasted for a few hundred years, and it's estimated that they haven't even recouped their initial investment yet. They certainly don't want Blue Star to have any problems.

Since they don't want anything to happen to Blue Star, they will inevitably increase security under these circumstances, which is also how the Empire treats other major planets.

But this phenomenon hasn't occurred on Blue Star. What does that mean?

Does this mean the Empire has abandoned Blue Star?

That's impossible.

It's one thing to abandon ordinary planets.

Blue Star is the main star in the Empire's blueprint, and it will not be easily given up unless absolutely necessary.

The war hasn't even started yet, and it's clearly far from a point of no return.

Therefore, from the perspective of middle-aged men...

This phenomenon occurs.

There are only those two possibilities.

Firstly, the Empire believed that nothing could go wrong on Blue Star, which is why it didn't strengthen its defenses.

The second possibility is that the highest authority on Blue Star is not in the hands of the Empire, so the Empire has no right to make decisions for Blue Star.

Either of these possibilities is enough to demonstrate the special nature of Blue Star, and it was based on this that the middle-aged man decided to continue residing on Blue Star, the main planet.

He believed that those in power on Blue Star had sufficient confidence not to increase security.

Blue Star.

The Arctic Continent.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged in front of an iceberg.

"These three hundred years."

Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calm and undisturbed.

For the past three hundred years, Su Yuan has done only one thing: watch two Great Accomplished Life Holy Spirit enlighten lives, and then try to enlighten lives himself.

Keep enlightening, keep enlightening, keep enlightening.

"War."

Su Yuan looked up at the depths of the starry sky.

Although Su Yuan had been in seclusion for the past three hundred years, he had still sensed the tense atmosphere among the Human Race.

At first, Director Zhou asked Su Yuan whether they should strengthen security near Blue Star, but Su Yuan refused.

After all, Su Yuan had already learned about the future war situation through the Grey Mirror. Even if he didn't intervene and the Human Race was defeated, Blue Star would not be affected, meaning there was no need to expend Human Race's strength to guard against Blue Star.

"Let's begin."

Su Yuan collected his thoughts, looked at the iceberg tens of meters high in front of him, and with a slight thought, bits of spiritual energy began to gather.

Su Yuan is enlightening this iceberg.

Under normal circumstances, this iceberg would not have the potential to develop sentience or become a living thing.

Su Yuan was forcibly enlightening this iceberg based on his own understanding of the Supreme Rule of Life.

Splash~

The iceberg, which was originally tens of meters high, began to shrink as spiritual energy continued to gather around it.

As the iceberg continued to melt and shrink, until it was only ten meters high, a shape vaguely resembling a human began to take shape.

"Humanoid?"

Su Yuan carefully observed the ten-meter-tall humanoid iceberg.

He was only responsible for enlightening the iceberg and giving it life; he did not forcibly interfere with its physical form. The reason it was in human form was probably due to the subconscious influence of Su Yuan.

Time passed.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the next half hour, the iceberg continued to slowly shrink until it reached a height of five meters, at which point it stopped. Faintly, a life force began to rapidly condense.

"Father God!"

The five-meter-tall iceberg opened its eyes, seeing the outside world for the first time. At the same time, its gaze fell on Su Yuan, and it spoke with utmost respect and fervor.

Although he didn't know who Su Yuan was, he subconsciously knew that Su Yuan was everything to him, the one who created him.

It's done.

Su Yuan carefully observed the life on the iceberg.

Over three hundred years, Su Yuan's enlightenment on life can be divided into three stages.

The first stage is to forcibly conjure life, but such life is very flawed, lacking even intelligence, and can be considered a failure.

The second stage involves cultivating beings with sound intelligence who can grow stronger through cultivation, but who lack the ability to reproduce.

For lower life forms, the ability to reproduce is very important, and can even be considered a necessary condition. Only through generations of reproduction can they continue to evolve.

The fact that Su Yuan could not conjure a life form with the ability to reproduce means that his understanding of the Supreme Rule of Life is not profound enough.

The third stage of Su Yuan's enlightenment of life is now.

After reflection and adjustments, Su Yuan has resolved the issue of the life forms he conjured lacking the ability to reproduce.

"Iceberg Lifeform, possessing the strength of Starry Sky Lifeform, with complete intelligence, independent thinking ability, and the capacity to reproduce independently."

Su Yuan observed carefully, and the smile on his face grew wider and wider.

Compared to the life forms at the Cosmic Lifeform level directly enlightened by the Great Accomplished Life Holy Spirit, the Iceberg Lifeform enlightened by Su Yuan are naturally far inferior.

However, the Great Life Holy Spirit can only enlighten Cosmic Lifeform by using its own power as the Holy Spirit, and there are many limitations in this process. The energy level of the carrier that enlightens must be high enough.

Even if one were to merely enlighten this ordinary iceberg, the Great Accomplished Life Holy Spirit could not possibly elevate it to the level of Cosmic Lifeform.

"This is the Supreme Rule of Life."

Countless flashes of inspiration suddenly surged in Su Yuan's mind. His understanding of the Supreme Rule of Life, his continuous accumulation over the past three hundred years, and all the Supreme Rule of Life on the Seventh Continent of the Origin Land all converged together.

"I see."

Su Yuan slowly stood up. At this moment, he had no more doubts about the Supreme Rule of Life and had completely comprehended it.

"Father God."

Iceberg Life stared at Su Yuan with fervent eyes, kneeling on the ground.

"Cultivate yourself diligently and fully appreciate the wonders of life."

With a wave of his right hand, Su Yuan sent the iceberg life form into his Inner World.

Over the past three hundred years, every life that Su Yuan had created was sent into his Inner World.

Congratulations, sir!

As Su Yuan put away the iceberg life form, the two Great Accomplished Life Holy Spirit standing not far away immediately offered their congratulations.

As the Great Accomplished Life Holy Spirit, they naturally realized that Su Yuan had enlightened a complete life, which meant that he had thoroughly comprehended the Supreme Rule of Life.

This scene filled the two fully accomplished Life Holy Spirit with both excitement and trepidation.

Excitingly, they had completed their transaction with Su Yuan. Three hundred years had passed, and Su Yuan had just come to understand the Supreme Rule of Life.

According to the subsequent terms of the transaction, Su Yuan should have let them leave.

The two fully accomplished Life Holy Spirit were also uneasy about the aftermath of the transaction.

Indeed, Su Yuan had promised that he would let them leave after three hundred years.

However, Su Yuan's promise did not include Causality oath, meaning it had no binding force.

Su Yuan can back out if he wants to.

Their two perfected Life Holy Spirit have no way to help them.

After all, in that situation three hundred years ago, we were the fish on the chopping block, and they didn't have the right to make Su Yuan make a Causality oath at all.

"Thanks to you all too."

Su Yuan looked at the two fully-formed Life Holy Spirit.

For the past three hundred years, if it weren't for these two great Holy Life Holy Spirit working day and night to enlighten life according to Su Yuan's many requirements and revealing the details of enlightening life to him,

It's impossible for Su Yuan to comprehend the Supreme Rule of Life so quickly.

"Your talent in understanding the Supreme Rule of Life is something we have never seen before."

The two Great Accomplished Life Holy Spirit immediately spoke, and these words came from their hearts. From their perspective, Su Yuan's comprehension of the Supreme Rule of Life was indeed incredibly fast.

Even with the full cooperation of these two Life Holy Spirit, and after three hundred years of comprehending the Supreme Rule of Life, they could still be considered exceptionally talented.

Little did the two Great Accomplished Life Holy Spirit know that Su Yuan's talent in the Supreme Rule of Life was only of an ordinary kind.

The reason he was able to comprehend the Supreme Rule of Life so quickly was mainly due to the omnipresent fluctuations of the Supreme Rule of Life on the Seventh Continent of the Origin Land, as well as the constant correction from the Grey Mirror, which allowed Su Yuan to know what the most correct course of action was.

"Three hundred years have passed; I will now send you on your way."

Su Yuan could see through the unease of the two Great Accomplished Life Holy Spirit at a glance.

In fact, Su Yuan had no intention of breaking his Nuoyan. Even though the Nuoyan to the two Holy Spirit was not witnessed by the Supreme Rule of Causality, he would not have to pay any price for breaking it.

Su Yuan disdained to disobey.

After all, these two fully-formed Life Holy Spirit posed no threat to him, and there would be no harm in letting them go.

"Thank you, sir."

Elena and the other Great Life Holy Spirit felt a surge of joy.

However, before they could react, they sensed a change in the world.

"Here it is?"

Elena looked around and realized that she was in her old lair.

"Mother Goddess."

Mother Goddess, you're back!

The many beings that Elena had inspired showed joy on their faces when they saw Elena reappear.

Three hundred years ago, Elena mysteriously disappeared, which truly terrified these lives.

"I"

Elena felt as if she had been reborn. If she hadn't been certain that her memories were real, she would have almost thought that the past three hundred years had been nothing but a dream.

"That sir."

Elena felt conflicted, gaining a deeper understanding of Su Yuan's terrifying methods.

He snatched her from his lair with a flick of his wrist, then returned her just as easily. Such methods are no different from those of Supreme Being.

"How could such a monster be born in the workings of the Great Universe?" Elena still didn't quite understand.

The strength Su Yuan displayed had completely exceeded the limits of her imagination, and as Life Holy Spirit, Elena knew that the universe operates with balance.

Blue Star, Arctic Continent.

Su Yuan casually sent Elena and the other two Great Accomplished Life Holy Spirit back to the place where he had taken them away, and then began to try to integrate the Supreme Rule of Life into his own path system.

"Um?"

Just then, Su Yuan seemed to sense something and looked up at the Great Universe.

"So it's already this late."

Su Yuan looked towards the direction beyond the Great Universe, lost in thought.

At this very moment, where Su Yuan was looking, two incredibly powerful auras were steadily approaching.

These are the two Supreme Being, the Dragon Ancestor and the Phoenix Ancestor, who have been separated from the Great Universe for countless years.

After nearly half of the Era of Great Destruction, these two Supreme Being of the Era of Creation are finally about to return to the Great Universe.
