Yan Huan crouched atop the mountain, gazing at the constantly surging clouds below with bright eyes.

"If we drop him from this high up, it'll definitely cure him of life, right?"

Aha frowned.

"What kind of wording is that?" he said unhappily. "This is called being as free as the wind!"

Before long, a wisp of a wronged soul drifted back up.

It stared fixedly at the two people above who were laughing at him.

When Yan Huan noticed it, he was shocked.

"Whoa, a ghost seeking revenge!"

Aha stared at the translucent body in delight. "See? He really was cured!"

Nanook's conscious soul projection was utterly speechless as he looked at these two lunatics.

The vessel he had possessed here had already been smashed to pieces by Yan Huan. Having exhausted his final reserves of power, he could only maintain this state for three minutes.

Nanook looked coldly at Aha and said in a deep voice, "Aeon of Joy, why have you come to interfere with me?"

Aha raised an eyebrow and let out a mocking laugh.

"Why can't I interfere with you? You're allowed to block the way here, but I'm not allowed to come watch the show?"

Nanook frowned, glanced at Yan Huan, and said to Aha,

"Do you know how much change he will bring to this universe? If he isn't eliminated now, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Aha immediately burst into laughter upon hearing that.

"Oh? Something that good exists? Then that's absolutely wonderful!"

He looked excitedly at Yan Huan, his eyes full of admiration.

"Kid, he says you're freaking awesome!"

Yan Huan was instantly delighted as well.

"Damn it, he figured it out. Who leaked the news?"

Nanook looked speechlessly at the two lunatics.

He did not have much time left, and he had no desire to listen to their nonsense any longer.

"This human... is he your Emanator?"

"Nope," Aha casually replied.

Nanook flew into a rage.

"If he isn't your Emanator, then why are you stopping me?!"

"He's a seed candidate. If he wants to, he can be the next Aeon of Joy!" Aha mocked.

"Besides, classmate Nanook." Aha's tone gradually deepened. "All I did was use my power to block the power of your Path. I never gave this kid any help in increasing his strength."

Aha grinned. "That means he really beat your avatar to death with his bare hands without inheriting my Path, hahaha...!!"

"Though this was only formed from your consciousness, he actually did it using nothing but his human body. He beat a divine body to death with his bare hands!"

"Hahahaha... Don't you think that's the biggest joke ever? I've never seen anyone kill a divine body without relying on any Path! What a sight to behold!"

The look in Aha's eyes grew increasingly crazed.

He continued mockingly,

"Tell me, is it possible that one day, he could beat even your complete form to death with his bare hands?"

Nanook's expression was extremely grim at that moment.

Although the Aeon of Joy had restricted his power, this human had indeed beaten the divine body of his avatar to death with his bare hands.

Logically speaking, even an avatar formed from a mere wisp of an Aeon's consciousness should not have been destroyed by a human without the power of a Path, even if it did not fight back.

This human absolutely could not be allowed to live!

"So, you insist on becoming my enemy." Nanook narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Aha, who still maintained his provocative demeanor.

"No, no, no. What do you mean, I insist on becoming your enemy?" Aha corrected him. "So many people want to kill you. Don't you have any idea of that? I'm being forced into this."

"Don't forget, you're even more notorious than I am."

Nanook: "..."

Ignoring the Aeon of Joy's trash talk, he gave Yan Huan a deep look.

Then, he turned into a streak of light.

He truly vanished from this consciousness space.

As though he had never been there.

"Kid, this time he's really gone."

With his hands behind his back, Aha looked at Yan Huan with great interest.

"So? Want to consider accepting my power?"

Yan Huan helplessly waved his hand. "No. I'm afraid I'll become a lunatic too."

Aha: "?"

"Looks like you really don't have a clear understanding of yourself! Why do you think you aren't already a lunatic?"

Yan Huan turned serious and quickly waved his hands. "Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"

Herta Space Station.

Because Yan Huan had previously destroyed the Stargate from within, Nanook's consciousness had not chased them out.

After the staff learned the news, they still observed from the space battleships for three hours to be safe.

Only after confirming it was safe did they return to the Space Station in batches and restore its operations.

Yan Huan remained unconscious, and Herta had him placed in a medical pod.

Meanwhile, a compilation video about Yan Huan was playing on the Space Station's screens.

It contained footage of him beating up the Aeon of Destruction, along with a compilation of him and the Aeon of Joy tormenting the Aeon of Destruction across a hundred and eight thousand kilometers.

The uploader had even thoughtfully included a download link.

Everyone at the Space Station received an unfamiliar text message on their phones, containing an even faster one-click download.

It left them all speechless.

The screens were currently broadcasting greetings from the Aeon of Joy.

He pointed at everyone outside the screen with one hand while frowning at Yan Huan.

"Kid, I'm starting a vote right now. Let the public tell you whether you're actually a lunatic!"

"Sure, bring it on! The people have sharp eyes!"

Yan Huan politely bowed to the staff outside the screen and said shyly,

"I hope everyone can distinguish right from wrong. Please don't vote maliciously. Participate in this event fairly and impartially, and do not engage in fraud. Thank you all for your support."

Immediately afterward, a data bar truly appeared on the large screen, displaying the vote count in real time.

At the same moment, everyone's phones chimed in unison. It was another unfamiliar text message.

The message read as follows.

'Aha reminds you: Participate in the vote for a chance to earn shopping points. Come join us! Click the voting link below to participate now: https...'

Everyone looked at the message and fell silent once more.

The link contained the following.

--

A. He's obviously a freaking lunatic. What the hell are you hesitating for?

B. He isn't a lunatic. Look at me, everyone, look at me. I have an announcement: I'm an idiot!

C. I choose A. Those idiots choosing B, remember to increase your dosage!

"..."

"Uncle Yang, how am I supposed to choose?" March 7th held up her phone and asked Welt.

Welt adjusted his glasses. "Everyone should follow their own hearts. Since it's a vote, we should uphold fairness and impartiality. Otherwise, voting loses its meaning."

March 7th was still hesitating over whether to vote for the option: 'A. He's obviously a freaking lunatic. What the hell are you hesitating for?'

The option below it was: 'B. He isn't a lunatic. Look at me, everyone, look at me. I have an announcement: I'm an idiot!'

There was also: 'C. I choose A. Those choosing B, remember to increase your dosage!'

March 7th: "..."

Honestly, she did not want Yan Huan to truly take over from the Aeon of Joy, because that would likely make him leave the Star Rail Express.

Meanwhile, the others nearby began canvassing for votes.

"Everyone, I won't say much more. The people have sharp eyes. Let's choose A and make Brother Huan an Emanator! We'll all be witnesses to history!"

"Get lost, get lost! If I can't become an Emanator, then he can't either! So what if I'm being petty? I'm choosing B!" As he spoke, the man immediately pressed the vote button on his phone.

"Hey, are you okay? Brother Huan saved the Space Station and saved you too. Why can't you wish him well?"

"Tch." The man said disdainfully, "As if you're some noble gentleman. Didn't you only pass your research project through connections? Who are you pretending to be? Every man for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him!"

For a time, the Space Station was filled with conflicting opinions.

What should have been a completely one-sided vote somehow saw option B receive an astonishingly high number of votes, only a few votes behind A, leaving Aha stunned!

Aha: "?"

He looked in shock at everyone outside the screen.

"...Are you guys okay?"
