Councilor?

Jiao Xiu District, Evil Slaying Department.

A massive star hung at the center of the galaxy, with countless celestial bodies orbiting around it along their respective paths.

From time to time, meteors trailing long tails of ice crystals skimmed past the star's surface.

On one of those solid planets, there was no atmosphere to cover it. Its gray-brown surface lay entirely exposed to space, barren and desolate.

At the center of the continent, an office building rose from the ground like a longsword piercing straight into the Starry Sky.

At that moment, in the office on the building's top floor.

Ming Shuang stared blankly at the Light Screen before her, her expression dazed.

On the screen was a bold black headline.

[Breaking News! Origin Chief Li Qingshan—Miraculously Returns!]

"He's back? He came back after only a year?"

Her voice was filled with disbelief, as well as a trace of regret she could not hide.

Regret that she had been born ten thousand years too early and had failed to catch Li Qingshan's tailwind...

Just as she was wallowing in self-pity,

"Hmm?!"

Ming Shuang frowned and abruptly raised her head toward the heavens, her gaze locking onto the star at the galaxy's center.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but the Sunlight seemed to have grown a little brighter just now...

"My eyes are playing tricks on me?"

Ming Shuang rubbed her eyes, suspicion written across her face.

Suddenly,

Crash!

The void before her tore apart. Myriad Phenomena Star Sand flowing with Mystic Yellow radiance poured down like the Milky Way spilling from the Ninth Heaven, mixed with glittering Time Sand and Time Crystal Marrow. In the blink of an eye, it filled the entire office.

At the same time, Sunlight branded the floor, scorching out a line of large words.
