The moment Xu Chen stepped into Peking University, he suddenly heard Xiao Bai sigh. He paused, then asked in his mind, "Sister Xiao Bai, what's wrong? I rarely see you sigh with such helplessness." Xiao Bai was silent for a moment. "The destruction of civilization, it turns out, is such an easy thing." Xu Chen stopped and sat down on a bench on campus, lit a cigarette, and started chatting with Xiao Bai. "Sister Xiao Bai, you're not saying...," Xiao Bai said, word by word, "Yes, exactly what you think." Xu Chen flicked his cigarette ash and exclaimed, "Ah, the task Master gave me isn't finished yet, how can the Earth be destroyed?" Bai said helplessly, "What are you thinking? I'm talking about our civilization, which is about to be wiped out." "The Noah civilization is so far away from Earth, how do you know about the situation there, Sister Bai?" Bai explained, "Although the universe is boundless, various civilizations interact with each other, and there's always an exchange of information, like the fiber optic cables that Earthlings have laid under the sea. In the cosmic information I've received, the Noah civilization has reached its final life-or-death moment." "What exactly happened?" "Simply put, they're about to become the losers in the war, because even the lowest-rate interstellar tabloids are reporting on the Noah civilization's tragic state." Bai explained. Xu Chen understood, "So what are you going to do next?" Bai said with relief, "I'm powerless to help, I only ask that your sect give the Noah civilization a final protection. You don't know yet, do you? Our civilization has built a new teleportation array on Tianquan Star. From now on, you can fly back in your spaceship; three Earth months will be enough."
Xu Chen, lost in thought, returned to his dorm and opened the door to find his buddies playing a game. He quickly joined in. Zhao Weimin, while jungling, asked, "Xu Chen, how's the Beauty Pill thing going? Tell us about it." After a double kill, Xu Chen replied, "Almost there, Wei-ge. I should be able to get the formula in the next few days. Once we have the first batch, we'll need you guys to try it out." Wang Aihua readily agreed, "Hey, no need for formalities between brothers. I'll be the first to try it." "Let's all play together, I promise it's not poison." "Hahaha, even if it's poison, I'll try it." At this moment, Li Wei, spoiling the mood, said, "Xu Chen, stop playing after this game. Preparing for the exam is more important. The professor is obviously after you." Xu Chen nodded. Now that things were settled, he naturally wanted to be a good student again. After finishing the game, he took his roommate's notes and returned to the small villa.
As night fell, Xu Chen entered the house and saw Wang Li's tense face. He quickly went up to her and asked, "What's wrong, Lili? Who made you unhappy again?" Wang Li said sarcastically, "It was that big jerk who disappeared for a day and only came home tonight." Knowing he was in the wrong, Xu Chen sat down and took her hand, saying, "Lili, I've been a bit busy lately. In a few days, once the prescription is sorted out, we can go back to normal life." Wang Li turned her head away and ignored Xu Chen. Xu Chen then deliberately kept a straight face and said, "Lili, if you ignore me, I'll have to enforce the family rules!" Hearing this, Wang Li blushed and quickly begged for forgiveness, "No, I was wrong, Chenchen." Then she hugged Xu Chen and said, "I just wanted you to come home sooner." Xu Chen nodded, "Don't worry, Lili."
Meanwhile, on Tianquan Star, several young men and women, along with the previous commander, arrived again. "Sect Master, this is our engineering team that built the teleportation array." Wang Xuanyi nodded and said earnestly, "Do not disturb the mortals on Tianquan Star. As for the rest, you are free to do as you please." The commander and the young men and women were flustered, seeing Wang Xuanyi finish speaking so quickly, without even giving them a chance to speak. The Vice Sect Master, Shen Yuan, noticed their unease and said, "Gentlemen, if you have anything else to say, please speak frankly. There's no need to beat around the bush." Wang Xuanyi glared at Shen Yuan, then remained silent. Seeing her brother, the Sect Master, lost in thought, Shen Yuan knew he had delegated authority to her and continued, "Don't be nervous. Speak, everyone. What else is there?" The commander, seeing this, hurriedly knelt down and said, "We beg the Sect Master to take us in." Shen Yuan, having just awakened from seclusion, was unaware of what had happened and quickly asked, "I don't quite understand what you mean. Do you want your entire civilization to submit to our sect?" Hearing this, the commander was overcome with grief and choked out, "..." "We only have a few hundred people left. The Noah Civilization no longer exists." Shen Yuan was shocked and wanted to ask again, but Wang Xuanyi explained the whole situation to her through telepathy. Shen Yuan nodded and paced around like her sect leader, considering whether she should agree to the request. After a long while, amidst everyone's tense anticipation, Shen Yuan spoke again, "You can stay. The young ones, start learning our sect's martial arts techniques now and sign a contract with us, pledging lifelong loyalty to our sect. The older ones, serve as the daily maintenance personnel for the teleportation array. If any parts fail, you can use our sect's Galaxy Coins to purchase them. Over the years, thanks to the offerings from various civilizations, our sect's Galaxy Coins have become astronomical. We'll also set up a purchasing team. Whatever the mortals on Tianquan Star need, you can go and buy it." The commander's face lit up with joy. Although the conditions required their efforts, the benefits were immense. He thanked them repeatedly and led everyone out of the main hall, preparing to begin surveying and constructing the teleportation array. However, the thought that this was the civilization's last resource overwhelmed the commander with sorrow.
Seeing them leave the main hall, Wang Xuanyi glared at Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan quickly stepped forward and hugged her sect leader brother's arm, saying coquettishly, "Sect leader brother, you know I'm always soft-hearted." Wang Xuanyi patted her shoulder, "Alright, it's time for you to take responsibility." The two slowly walked out of the main hall side by side.
Inside the military base, Sun Wei was enduring relentless, high-intensity training. Because of his family's influence, Tang Tiancheng didn't want him to join the team. However, since Xu Chen had already agreed to Sun Wei's request, Tang Tiancheng couldn't refuse Xu Chen and had to try another method to see if he could force him to leave. "Sun Wei, ten-minute rest. Next event: run two hundred laps around the track." A command rang in Sun Wei's ears. He was initially overjoyed at the thought of a ten-minute break, almost to the point of tears, but the next words plunged his spirits into despair. "For my family's expectations, even if I die, I will die here," Sun Wei resolved silently. He understood what such high-intensity training meant for someone who had never received military training. But he had no other choice.
