Although Hu Xiaotian's words had made Qin Yutong question her origins, they had not shaken her sense of where she belonged in the slightest. She could never accept anyone seeking to destroy her home.
Hu Xiaotian said, "All the great powers under heaven have their eyes on supremacy over the Central Plains. They all want to annex other nations and unite the world, yet none of them realizes what the true crisis is. If Hong Beimo repairs that spaceship, before long, countless visitors from beyond will come pouring in without end. What awaits this world then?" He paused before adding, "Destruction!"
Qin Yutong shuddered. If that day truly came, this world would face destruction. She had witnessed the power of the Lightsaber in Hu Xiaotian's hand with her own eyes. If an army came with one Lightsaber for every soldier, it would sweep through this world unopposed. How could the people here resist them with nothing but sabers, spears, swords, and halberds?

Qin Yutong said, "You've told me so many incredible things. I need time to sort through them and figure out whether you've been lying to me."
Hu Xiaotian said, "Being deceived isn't painful. Being deceived all your life by the man you love is actually a kind of happiness."
