The doctor looked up at him, his hands clenched tightly at his sides, but he didn't say anything.

Not many people know that Qi Luo's Hellfire has awakened. As long as he doesn't say it, Su Zhou doesn't say it, Su Qi Luo himself doesn't say it, and Mu Qingyun doesn't say it, no one else will know.

"I'd like to contact the King and see if he can explain to Mytel that we should focus on resolving this issue first, and put the civil war aside for now," the principal sighed and said softly.

The doctor nodded in agreement, feeling that this was the best approach at present. If they could find someone to sacrifice on another planet, Qi Luo wouldn't need to sacrifice himself.

This child has suffered so much in his life. He finally met the person he loves and found his biological family. He shouldn't have to sacrifice himself again.

Before the principal could even finish speaking and contact Mu Jingfeng, Mu Jingfeng called first.

“Your Majesty, there is something I would like to discuss with you,” Mu Jingfeng spoke first, just as the principal was about to speak. “I have something important to tell you. Wang Gang of Mytel sent me a message saying that an unidentified meteorite has been discovered in space. We have decided to stop the war and discuss the meteorite together.”

oh?

The principal and the doctor looked up at the same time, exchanged a glance, and were both puzzled. How did Mytel's people know about this?

“Okay, that’s exactly what I wanted to talk about. Qi Luo sent me photos of a meteorite. We just looked into it, and the situation is not optimistic.”

The principal responded earnestly, and after a few more words from the other end, he hung up the phone.

"Doctor, you should go back first. We will discuss this matter again."

"Okay." The doctor quickly replied and immediately turned to leave.

He walked quickly into his house and saw Mu Qingyun resting on the sofa as soon as he entered.

Wanting her to pay more attention, he didn't disturb her but went straight upstairs.

Once upstairs, he quickly called Su Zhou.

Su Zhou was probably asleep; his phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.

"Hello?"

“Su Zhou, let me tell you, no matter who asks, you didn’t say earlier that Qi Luo had awakened Hellfire. You always claimed to everyone that he has both water and light powers.” The doctor said anxiously. He couldn’t let anyone know that Su Qi Luo now had fire powers.

If outsiders find out, they will definitely want Qi Luo to be the victim, and then there will be all sorts of moral blackmail.

He doesn't care about others; he simply doesn't believe that in such a vast universe with so many planets, there can't be a general with fire-based superpowers.

"What's wrong?" Su Zhou asked after a moment of silence.

"A fire-attribute meteorite has been discovered in space. The principal's idea is to see if the meteorite will break apart and if it shows any signs of travel. If not, then we should hold back and start researching protective measures. If it does, then we may need to find a fire-attribute general to detonate the meteorite."

The doctor patiently explained the information to Su Zhou, making everything clear to him.

However, Su Zhou fell silent again on the other end of the phone.

"Anyway, we can't reveal that Su Qiluo has already become a fire-type ability user." The doctor thought Su Zhou was still half asleep and hadn't understood, so he quickly summarized the key point for him.

After a long silence, Su Zhou's voice came from the other end of the phone, "A general with fire-type abilities, there probably aren't any on other planets."

Upon hearing this, the doctor's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?"

"To reach the position of general, in addition to having strong superpowers and mental strength, one also needs to have unique superpowers," Su Zhou said slowly. "Fire superpowers are too common, and probably no one can cultivate them to their full potential."

"What do you mean?" The question turned into a statement, and the doctor already had some ideas in mind, but he was unwilling to believe it.

“If Qi Luo doesn’t sacrifice himself, everyone will die.” Su Zhou said each word clearly and deliberately. “My friend once told me that if we could start over, someone would have to sacrifice themselves.”

"Su Zhou, are you even human?!"

The doctor couldn't control his emotions; anger surged to his head, causing him to roar in disbelief, "He's your son! You really just abandoned him so easily?"

Su Zhou remained silent for a long time before a deep voice came through the static, his words, devoid of emotion, tinged with coldness: "If I could, I would prefer to be the one to sacrifice myself."

"Don't try to evade the issue with such words!" The doctor scoffed disdainfully, completely unmoved by Su Zhou's words. "Listen to me, anyone can ask Qi Luo to sacrifice himself, but you can't. You are his father, you are his closest relative. Anyone in the world can tell him to sacrifice himself, but you shouldn't!"

"Do you think I wanted him to die? What do you think I risked unknown dangers to travel through time for?"

Su Zhou's suppressed emotions were finally unleashed. "I wanted to save everyone. I traveled to another world to try and bring His Majesty back. To save everyone, I cruelly abandoned my son. Did I do all this just so that he would sacrifice himself?"

"But he..."

“Doctor, he is my son. I am more heartbroken than anyone else by his sacrifice, but I have seen and felt too much over the years. I am no longer bound by personal feelings.” Su Zhou said, his voice choked with emotion.

The doctor opened his mouth as he listened to Su Zhou's outburst, but ultimately remained silent.

He was so focused on protecting Qi Luo that he forgot Su Zhou had also sacrificed a lot. Su Zhou just didn't lose his life. The reason everyone is still alive is because Su Zhou reversed time.

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly understood Su Zhou.

Perhaps Su Zhou was right. If Qi Luo hadn't sacrificed herself, hundreds of millions of people would have died.

However, even though that was the logic, he still didn't want Qi Luo to sacrifice herself.

"Say whatever you want, I've said my piece, it's your business what you do." The doctor hung up the phone immediately after speaking, tossed his phone onto the bed, and slumped into a chair with a headache.

"Knock knock knock—"

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door.

The doctor was startled and looked up towards the door.

He didn't close the door completely; there was a small gap between the door frame and the inside of the door. Through that gap, he could vaguely see Mu Qingyun's face. "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Mu Qingyun's face was extremely ugly. She closed the door behind her, leaned against it expressionlessly, and didn't say a word.

"You, you heard everything?" The doctor looked at her, stammering as his hand unconsciously rubbed against the soft cushion.

"The door wasn't closed properly, and I was woken up by the noise. I heard some things."

"and you……"

"I heard all the important points." Mu Qingyun clenched her fist, as if she had just come to her senses, and looked down at the professor.
