"You are... Xiao Xie?"
Old Gu also stared wide-eyed at Xie Erxun and carefully examined him.
After a long pause, he said with a look of disgust.
"How did you grow up to be so ugly?"
Xie Erxun: ...
Where is your teacher?
Xie Erxun recovered from the shock of his disability and answered dejectedly.
"During the interstellar war, I was separated from my teacher. I only know that my teacher also fell to Earth, but we have never found him."
Old Gu sighed, his eyes filled with lingering sorrow.
"Those people are ruining the entire universe for their own benefit; they're trying to wipe out all species!"
Qin Su raised an eyebrow; this old man could see quite clearly.
What brings you here?
Xie Erxun glanced at the library, now a ruin, and was afraid of upsetting the old man.
But matters concerning the soul must be resolved as soon as possible.
"It's like this, the God of War's body was..."
Old Gu was furious; his wrinkles pressed tightly together on his aged face, as if every wrinkle was about to burst with rage.
"Damn it! I told you long ago that this kind of thing is absolutely forbidden, but they still did it. This is going to destroy the order of the entire universe!"
"That book shouldn't even exist!"
Old Gu's voice gradually turned into a sigh. He had said back then that leaving this book behind would be a disaster, but no one listened.
"But Elder Gu, we really need that book now. Only that book can help the God of War recover."
Old Gu shook his head: "Nothing's left, absolutely nothing!"
It turns out that Gu Ye also returned here later.
Before he returned, the place was in ruins; everything was gone, including the book.
"That book must have been taken by someone, otherwise how would anyone know how to switch souls?"
Qin Su was absolutely certain that the person who took the book was definitely related to the ugly old man.
There was absolutely no way to get the book from him.
"Although the book is missing, I have seen it before, so I can help the God of War take a look!"
Qin Su felt relieved. This old man Gu must be quite capable. With him around, at least some clues could be obtained.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Elder Gu."
...
When Qin Su and the others returned, Huo Sijin was still unconscious.
After examining his body, Old Master Gu frowned deeply.
"The God of War's soul was severely suppressed, resulting in great trauma."
If it weren't for the God of War's unwavering willpower, his soul would have been banished long ago.
These were the same as Qin Su's analysis: "Then, Elder Gu, do you have any way to help Huo Sijin's soul recover quickly?"
Old Gu nodded: "There is a way, but it will be difficult to keep it from the other soul."
“I can feed him a pill that can nourish the original soul. But if the invading soul discovers this nourishment, it will definitely reject it fiercely.”
Qin Su blinked: "Then let the invading soul have no way of detecting it."
Old Gu asked in bewilderment, "How can this be done?"
Qin Su smiled: "Don't worry, Elder Gu, it's not too difficult. As long as Huo Sijin's soul can be healed, I can make the invading soul know nothing."
To show Old Master Gu the effect, Qin Su gave the ugly old man a needle injection.
The ugly old man just lay there, oblivious to everything.
"this……"
Old Gu stared at Qin Su in shock, suddenly feeling that this girl was very familiar.
For many years, it seems there was someone who did the same thing in front of him.
But the girl in front of him is from Earth, and he has never been to Earth, so how could he have seen her before?
"That's a good idea!"
"Then let's work together during this time to nourish the soul of the God of War."
Qin Su felt comfortable working with Mr. Gu. Although it was their first time working together, the harmonious feeling made it seem like they had worked together countless times.
After a week, Huo Sijin's spirit finally appeared.
"Su Su, I'm sorry."
The first thing he said when he woke up was to apologize to Qin Su.
Ultimately, it was his overconfidence that led him to believe he could withstand the danger posed by the ugly old man, which allowed the old man to succeed.
"This is all unexpected, it's not your fault. How are you feeling now? Is anything bothering you?"
Qin Su examined him while asking him questions.
Huo Sijin shook her head: "I'm fine now, I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
“These past few days, I have seen and heard everything you have said and done, but my soul is too weak to manifest.”
"So last time, you really did move your finger?"
Huo Sijin nodded: "You're right, I remembered back then, but I couldn't get up."
Qin Su knew that he had been fighting against the ugly old man's soul all along.
"Now that you're able to come out, how much of your soul has been restored?"
If Huo Sijin's soul is restored, the ugly old man won't be able to take his body back.
"About 60%!"
"It's not possible to get rid of the ugly old man yet."
Old Master Gu said, "It's already quite impressive that you've recovered to this extent in such a short time."
After all, he thought that Huo Sijin would need more than half a year to recover to her current state.
"But the old man's ambition can no longer be hidden. If I don't wake up immediately, he will eventually use my body to leave, bringing great danger to the entire universe."
Huo Sijin, being inside the ugly old man's body, was naturally the one who knew his thoughts best.
These days, he has figured out the old man's purpose.
He wants to unify the universe and revolutionize technology, advancing AI.
He wants everyone in the universe to obey him; in short, he wants the entire universe to revolve around him.
"Doesn't he realize that if he continues living like this, he'll end up all alone?"
Qin Su really couldn't understand his thinking. Is the idea of someone's eternity really that attractive?
Are only Earthlings unaware of this kind of eternity?
"Hmph, he's a complete madman! He wants to destroy all life!"
Old Gu was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, wishing he could just kill the ugly old man.
"No, I have to find a way to get it to Earth and experience it for myself."
Qin Su raised an eyebrow: "Why Blue Star?"
"Blue Star is the most humane planet. Where else would you go if not Blue Star?"
Old Gu countered with a question, saying that although he had never been to Blue Star, he still knew something about Blue Star.
Although Earth is underdeveloped, it is warm, and such a planet is actually the one that can make people feel the happiest.
"If you think you can use the happiness of Blue Star to influence him, it's probably impossible. He's turned Blue Star into a hell on earth. People are all looking for a way to survive. Who has the extra time to care about him?"
Old Gu also thought of the current miserable state of Blue Star: "Then let him experience the purgatory he created."
