"Let's call him 'King of Black Mist'," Yang Qinglan decided decisively. She didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters.

Li Changzhou named his instinct 'King of the Black Mist'.

At first glance, one might mistake him for a king known as 'Black Mist'.

"Now I am a true king." He said with a hint of satisfaction, "That way, someone can't say I have chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) anymore."

Yang Qinglan rolled her eyes at him.

"Have you finished your mission?" Li Changzhou asked, with just a little time left before the train arrived at the station.

Although the mission at Yaochi failed, I did pass the first two levels and received some rewards, but my redemption privileges were limited, so I couldn't buy anything.

Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia both passed the third level and were able to exchange for peaches of immortality, fine wine, jade dew, and the Eight Delicacies of the Hundred Flavors.

If they hadn't encountered the Queen Mother later, the two's reward would have been a timely blessing, just what the four of them needed.

When the train arrived at the station, Li Changzhou sent the three of them into the honey pot world.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. After a long time, having rehearsed all the possible scenarios, he finally sketched the image of the Queen Mother in his mind.

A vortex unfolded in front of him.

He stepped inside.

Li Changzhou almost thought he was hallucinating. The Queen Mother was beside him, and not far away was a huge spaceship, which was almost cylindrical and probably as long as the diameter of the Earth.

The spaceship was covered in cracks, clearly indicating that it had faced danger that threatened its very structure.

"To drive Yaochi through space and undertake long-distance travel requires too much magic power. This spaceship is one of the civilizations we have encountered in the past thousand years. It can capture an energy called 'antimatter' and can easily cross distances that even celestial beings cannot reach without consuming any magic power." Even the vacuum could not stop the Queen Mother's voice.

"...I just feel that spaceships don't suit Your Majesty's style."

"It's just that no spaceships have appeared in the Three Realms yet. When I first started cultivating, I also rode a flying sword and cheered among the mountains and rivers." The Queen Mother's tone was slightly nostalgic.

She looked at Li Changzhou, her tone becoming calm: "Take me back."

"May I ask another question?" Li Changzhou looked at her as well. Behind the Queen Mother, countless stars adorned the deep sky like eyes.

"You want to ask me why I want to go back so much?"

"Yes. The Earth today has no Heavenly Palace, no Underworld, and the human world is devoid of vital energy and foul-smelling. I don't understand what Your Majesty could possibly miss? Is it homesickness? But Your Majesty has even taken the Jade Pool with you; your homeland has always been by your side."

The Queen Mother smiled, and the stars shone even brighter.

"After the value game began, the Dao Ancestor died."

"...It's okay if I don't keep my oath?" Li Changzhou asked.

“I’m not making any vows, nor do I intend to threaten you. After the Dao Ancestor died, the Dao Fruits he once obtained became ownerless again. Returning to the Three Realms where the Dao Ancestor died will allow me to reap the fruits even faster, before the Jade Emperor and the Buddha—do you understand what I mean?”

Li Changzhou took a moment to process what he had said.

He suddenly sighed again. In any case, he didn't really have a choice, especially since he had already come here.

He looked at the enormous spaceship: "I can't take something this big with me."

With a flick of her sleeve, the Queen Mother of the West tucked the spaceship, comparable to Earth, into her sleeve.

"Let's go." She said it as casually as if she had simply locked the door.

Li Changzhou activated the teleportation feature, and the two of them went inside.

They appeared outside Earth's atmosphere.

The Queen Mother merely glanced at Earth before looking away. She slowly took flight, surveying the entire solar system.

She was a little taller than the average woman, about 1.76 meters. Compared to the solar system, she wouldn't even qualify to be a speck of dust, but she looked at a field that could be cultivated at will.

Li Changzhou stared intently at her.

The Queen Mother descended again, raised her hand, and destroyed the essence within a ball of light right before his eyes.

"It's inevitable that there will be some unpleasantness in the first collaboration, but after this, things will go much smoother in the future. You will understand that I have no intention of harming you." The Queen Mother tossed a storage bag to Li Changzhou.

Li Changzhou was about to speak.

A purple lightning bolt shattered the space, and a person from another race stepped out.

"You bastard, you dare hide in the Value Game? Hand over your knife!" the alien shouted.

The aura of a third-tier divine warrior was terrifying beyond measure, causing the Earth and the Moon to tremble slightly, like a shivering rabbit.

Six years have passed, and Li Changzhou had almost forgotten his hatred for the alien race. He never expected that they would still be blocking the door!

For the alien race, it was only a day; their anger was burning brightly and was still fresh.

"Your enemy?" the Queen Mother asked Li Changzhou.

"One-sided."

"You stole something again?"

"...It's spoils of war."

The Queen Mother nodded: "His abilities are very special. Should I have him?"

"No need to be so polite, please!" Li Changzhou took a step back.

There was no need for him to move aside; the alien was already frozen solid and unable to move. The third-tier divine warrior, equivalent to a celestial being, was utterly helpless in front of the Queen Mother.

"Let me remind you, don't enter history anytime soon. Your current strength is already enough to reach the level of a Celestial Immortal. Not everyone's methods are as gentle as mine." The Queen Mother's figure flickered and disappeared as if she had never existed.

[When the Queen Mother reappears next time, she may be a saint.] Guanyin said with deep emotion.

She fully understood the Queen Mother's thoughts and motives; she was going to great lengths to ascend to the heavenly throne, while the Queen Mother was after the holy throne.

Li Changzhou probed his consciousness into the storage bag and saw the peaches and a gourd in a box made by Qi Hui.
