Cosmic Dad

"Heaven and Earth Sword?" High-Quality Greasy Man froze instinctively. He thought of the earth-shattering sword strike Lu Changsheng had just unleashed—it really did suit the name Heaven and Earth Sword.

This hero dressed all in black—Batman, was it? Mm, that name was quite fitting too, considering the bat emblem on his chest.

High-Quality Greasy Man nodded and bowed, asking a few more basic questions. He said he would register all of their information in the files before finally leaving.

"After the mission is completed, we can remain in this world for three hours." Batman received a prompt from the Chat Group system.

"Three hours will pass in the blink of an eye." Lu Changsheng said, "Since that's the case, let's take a casual stroll around this world while we still have time."

Batman nodded.

With a flash, Lu Changsheng vanished.

At that moment, a certain Baldy came running over with a dead-fish expression on his face. Looking around, he asked, "He was just here. How did he disappear?"

Batman watched silently without saying anything. Then he turned and left. In this city that had become ruins, he intended to see whether there was anyone else in need of help.

Caped Baldy Saitama wore an expression like he was about to die as he muttered, "I'd better have Genos help me look for him."

At a roadside stall, Lu Changsheng looked like an immortal sage, yet he sat on a wooden chair with one leg crossed over the other, eating skewers.

As he ate, his consciousness sank into the Mysterious Yellow Pearl.

Inside the Mysterious Yellow Pearl, a wisp of soul drifted about hazily.

Faintly, a voice of obsession seemed to ring out—This wasn't a fair fight at all. The prophecy was completely fake.

It was Boros's soul.

After killing Boros with a single sword strike, Lu Changsheng had collected his soul into the Mysterious Yellow Pearl.

Using Magic Power, he restored Boros's soul to its original appearance.

"This is... where?" Once Boros's soul had fully recovered, he looked around blankly. "The world after death?"

"This is my world." Lu Changsheng split off a wisp of divine consciousness, appearing before Boros.

"It's you!" Boros said in surprise.

"It's me." Lu Changsheng smiled. "So, did you enjoy the fight?"

"We weren't even on the same level!" Boros said angrily. "You were far stronger than the one in the prophecy. You killed me in an instant without even using your full strength."

Lu Changsheng shook his head with a smile. "I never said I was the Prophesied One. I came from another world and was merely invited here."

"..." Boros was speechless for a moment. So he had never even encountered the Prophesied One he had longed for. After fighting for so long, he had actually faced an expert from another world. Still, this visitor from another world was far too strong. Over the course of his life conquering the cosmos, he had never heard of such a master.

As though he possessed the universal skill of mind-reading used by all big shots, Lu Changsheng saw through Boros's thoughts and explained, "I come from another universe, not this one. The world I live in is called the Primordial."

"Another universe?" Boros's expression shifted.

"That's right." Lu Changsheng smiled as he introduced the Primordial to Boros.

He made Boros understand that, in the Primordial, his strength amounted to nothing but trash.

"Then how strong are you in the Primordial?" Boros asked doubtfully.

"I get by well enough, I suppose. In any case, I'm stronger than you," Lu Changsheng said.

Boros: "..."

He, the mighty Cosmic Overlord... forget it. Even if he was the Cosmic Dad, it would be useless before Lu Changsheng.

"Then why did you bring me here? What do you want?" Boros asked.

"You really like fighting," Lu Changsheng said.

"Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have traveled all the way to Earth just to fight," Boros said.

"Don't you think the Primordial suits you perfectly?" Lu Changsheng asked.

Boros paused, then asked, "You want to take me to your world?"

"Yes. I can remake your body and let you cultivate the Primordial Law, making you stronger than before," Lu Changsheng said.

Boros's eyes lit up. "Then what are we waiting for? Let me devote myself to the Primordial and fight without end!"

However, Lu Changsheng shook his head and gazed at Boros with a faint smile.

Confusion appeared in Boros's eyes. Then, as if he understood something, he dropped to one knee. "This subordinate, Boros, is willing to heed your commands, my lord."

Lu Changsheng raised a hand and fired a beam of light into Boros's body. "This technique can help you cultivate to the Immortal Realm, but you'll need to obtain the later techniques yourself. Familiarize yourself with this place for now. Once I return to the Primordial, I'll remake your body for you."

Lu Changsheng's voice grew more and more ethereal as his body gradually turned transparent and vanished.

Only Boros remained where he stood, his face filled with astonishment.

After finishing his barbecue, Lu Changsheng strolled around the city for a while, wandering here and there. In professional terms, this was—The Leisurely Life of an Invincible Saint, The Returning Urban Saint, The Steady Journey of an Ordinary Saint...

But just as there was only a little time left before returning to his original world, Lu Changsheng was found by Saitama.

"Oh, you're the guy who took out their boss in one move, right? How about a fight?" Saitama was brimming with fighting spirit, his art style abruptly changing.

Genos, who had brought Saitama over, watched expressionlessly. "Heaven and Earth Sword, Chen Ping'an, newly promoted S-Class Hero. Strength unknown. Record: swept aside a suspected god-level monster with a single sword strike."

He looked at Saitama, then at Lu Changsheng, feeling utterly lost. He did not know who would win. Although his master, Saitama, had been very confident before this, when faced with Lu Changsheng, he did not dare draw a definite conclusion.

Lu Changsheng looked at Saitama with a mixture of laughter and helplessness. He had never expected Saitama to come looking for him in the end—the Baldy Demon King in his enemies' eyes, invincible with a single punch, just like Boros, longing to meet someone worthy of a battle.

"Sure, but let's make it quick." Lu Changsheng checked the time. There were only a few minutes left before he had to return. Though he could forcibly remain, he did not want to waste the effort.

"Okay!" Saitama's face turned completely serious, and his entire bearing seemed different.

"Heaven and Earth Sword, take it easy. Don't underestimate my master," Genos kindly reminded him.

"Don't worry, I know." Lu Changsheng's white robes drifted leisurely in the wind.

"Normal Punch!" Saitama clenched his right fist and launched a fierce attack.

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and lightly swiped his hand. Saitama's punch instantly lost all force, and he was flung away.

Saitama's fighting spirit soared as he charged forward once more.

"Consecutive Normal Punches!"

Lu Changsheng still used effortless force to redirect overwhelming strength, flinging Saitama away again.

"There isn't much time left. Let's settle this in one move." Lu Changsheng glanced at the Chat Group's return time limit. The final ten-second countdown had already begun.

"Then let's do it." Saitama roared, "Serious Punch!"

The power of this punch, bought with his hair, was something countless monsters had been unable to withstand.

Genos's eyes narrowed. It was here—his master's Serious Punch.

With a flick of his wrist, Lu Changsheng's sword appeared once more. As he swung it, a heaven-shaking sword radiance surged forth like a soaring dragon.

The two attacks collided, erupting into a terrifying ball of light. A violent explosion rang out, and white smoke filled the scene as yellow sand flew everywhere.

"Cough, cough..."

"Master!" Genos flew in.

Saitama lay on the ground, his clothes torn to shreds and his whole body covered in dirt.

"Master, how are you?" Genos asked.

"I'm not too badly hurt. My whole body just aches, but Chen Ping'an is really amazing!" Saitama abruptly sat up, looking excited.

"Where is Heaven and Earth Sword?" Genos looked around after hearing that.

"Huh? Yeah, where's Chen Ping'an?" Saitama looked around blankly. He was certain that punch had definitely not killed his opponent.

Meanwhile, in Hong Huang.

Lu Changsheng maintained his sword-swinging posture as he turned his head and looked around.

Oh, he was back in Hong Huang.

"I didn't kill Saitama, did I?"

Lu Changsheng blinked. He had increased the power of that sword strike slightly, but he did not know whether Saitama had withstood it.
