"Of course I'm going back..."

Rather than linger here in disgrace, I'd rather go back and fight one great battle.

In his own timeline were Lan Mu's friends, subordinates, and all the people he had protected countless times. That was where Lan Mu belonged.

If he stayed here, perhaps he could become invincible, perhaps he could conquer countless worlds, perhaps he could once again possess supreme power. But he would never be able to complete the Life Sphere.

Ordinary people often feared death, but he was no longer the Lan Mu he had once been. Even the Sabi people knew to keep moving forward without retreating. Once they were stripped of imagination and could no longer advance, they would rather die.

"If you go back now, you will certainly die," Adonis said.

"I know. Resolve alone isn't enough. At the very least, I need a way to deal with his High-Dimensional Strike."

Adonis smiled. "Since you've already made up your mind, I'll help you!"

"How?" Lan Mu asked.

"There are Contained Objects related to dimensions on Earth. Once your strongest transformation appears, take the Contained Objects and go back. I'll record them as destroyed. In any case, there's no difference between you taking them and them being destroyed," Adonis said.

"That won't benefit you at all," Lan Mu said.

Adonis burst into laughter.

"Although I keep saying that humanity will eventually understand 001 and defeat it, I also know that is almost impossible. But you have given me hope. You may be the only possibility capable of representing all living things and challenging that supreme will."

"All life, whether existent or nonexistent, imagined or real, is encompassed by the Life Sphere. Except for humanity."

"Now tell me, are you human?"

Lan Mu said solemnly, "Of course I'm human."

Adonis nodded.
