When you joined the party, the mother and child had already completed two story dungeons.
[Initially, it was just Loya chasing after Qianqian. The girl, feeling wronged and throwing a tantrum, ran away to a distant place. Then, while passing through an unstable imperial road, the two lost their footing and fell into an ancient planet. After a series of adventures, they temporarily reconciled.]
The map at the first location was too primitive, and the two, caught in a chase, didn't pay attention to their route, causing them to get lost in the unfamiliar starry sky.
Even if Loya wanted to go home, he couldn't find his way, so he prepared to enter the second technological planet to search the nearby interstellar map.
On the second high-tech planet, the two used their superior cultivation to evade the omnipresent surveillance and obtained information about the "Yuanjiu Changhe" and the "Ancient Imperial Clan."
However, neither of them knew that the "Eternal River" could only randomly teleport people to the past or back to their original timeline.
After all, that long river has been sealed off for trillions of years by the "Nine-Nine Clan," one of the nine great divine races. The information known to the outside world is partial and inaccurate.
This led Loya to believe that Qianqian came from trillions of years ago.
He believed this silver-haired girl was the little princess of the most glorious era of the Emperor's Reign over All Heavens.
[Then he was seduced by Karami, a guy from this tiny, run-of-the-mill planet.]
Because energy is conserved, the harder a part is, the more flexible its interior is.
"This is conservation of bigu and smallu, not conservation of energy."
After learning his interstellar location on the second planet, Loya prepared to return home, but... his relationship with Qianqian wasn't just a casual fling.
He felt he couldn't be like her, a heartless jerk who would abandon her after a few flings, yet he also felt this girl complemented him in some way, and he couldn't leave her.
When he saw the girl crouching in the corner crying, he abandoned his plan to go home and decided to escort Qianqian to the "Yuanjiu River" first.
They traverse the stars, moving more than a million light-years each day, traveling from one galaxy to another.
When they got tired, they would rest at an inn on a certain planet; when they got thirsty or hungry, they would buy water and food at a shop on that planet… until one particular stop, when the two encountered a specific plot while recovering their internal energy.
This is the third instance. The two encounter a life-or-death crisis on a vast continent 0.3 light-years in length and width, being hunted by a group of fourth-realm beings.
Then came your appearance and joining the team.
[Loya knows you are the young master of a powerful star alliance, capable of buying 100 star systems with a flick of your finger, and even the rare treasures he occasionally finds are just pocket change to you.]
But why are you here, and why did you happen to save him and Qianqian?
Since the two people in front of you are both ignorant, you can easily fool this father and daughter with a few made-up terms.
"For one reason or another, I suddenly realized that my younger brother, whom I had watched grow up, had disappeared. So I activated the family's resources and used the Star Detection Device, and that's how I discovered your presence here."
You cheerfully inquired about the name and identity of the silver-haired girl next to you, maintaining your composed and charming persona.
The naive girl immediately revealed her identity: "Hello, Brother Yun, you can call me Qianqian, I am the Emperor... umm?"
Loya kissed her directly, silencing the girl's next words, and only released her after a long while: "Brother Yun, she's my girlfriend, you're not allowed to lay a hand on her!"
His kiss was perfectly timed; it both prevented Qianqian from revealing her identity as an ancient imperial clan and served as a reminder not to make a move on a girl who was already in a relationship.
"A young couple, tsk tsk tsk."
[You think the third possibility is that he just wants to kiss you.]
After stopping his mother from speaking, Loya explained to you, half-jokingly, that he was taking his girlfriend back to her hometown.
"Can you please stop changing how you address someone? It's getting weirder and weirder!"
Unlike Qianqian, he wasn't naive enough to clearly understand the terrifying tidal wave that would be unleashed in the cosmos if a princess from an ancient ruling family—the "Imperial Clan"—were to arrive in the present era.
The return of remnants of the rulers from the previous cosmic era... the thought alone is terrifying!
In any case, he and Qianqian, this young couple who are only at the third or fourth realm, will be swallowed up by that giant wave like dust, completely unable to control their own fate!
[Especially—he also learned from Qianqian that the nine great divine races were merely servants of the imperial race, and the Nine Primordial Fiends were just their royal ingredients, although she didn't understand why someone as unpalatable as Devourer of Stars would be included among the Nine Fiends...]
At that moment, Luo Ya felt like he was going crazy. He absolutely dared not let Qianqian reveal her true identity!
[Because this ancient young lady's servant and meat dishes... have now become the supreme ruler of the entire universe!]
[The imperial clans have been destroyed for trillions of years. He doesn't believe that the ultimate beings of today would respectfully acknowledge Qianqian as their master and pay homage to this ancient, senior lady.]
Even a fool could guess what would happen to them.
[As for the subtle differences Qianqian mentioned, Diluo didn't take them to heart. For example, this universe has ten ancient ferocious beasts, but in Qianqian's understanding, there are only nine kinds of delicacies, and one of them isn't even considered delicious.]
[Loya thought this was normal. The Imperial Era was divided into early, middle, and late periods. Qianqian might have come from the early to middle period of the Imperial Era, while the tenth delicacy, "Mist Demon," was only discovered and included in the recipes during the later period of the Imperial Era.]
After explaining the situation, Loya repeatedly hinted that you should leave.
He neither wanted you to inadvertently learn of such a weighty secret of the imperial family, nor did he want you to be dragged into this great vortex.
No matter how powerful an interstellar alliance is, even if it rules over hundreds of star systems, it can never compare to any Protoss!
Of course, the main reason is simply that I don't want to be a third wheel.
[But thanks to your shamelessness, this team has gained another womanizer, a frivolous and irresponsible supporting character who flirts with every woman he meets.]
[And during your journey, you also recruit a pet that can be cute and cuddly in its small size most of the time, but can transform into a battle form when necessary.]
[A cool, aloof man with a poker face who always looks like someone owes him 8 million, has a very tragic past (I'm too lazy to make up the details, but it's something like that).]
[Plus, there's a girl who escaped from the lab and is obsessed with virtual data research. During the journey, she can search through the big data in her mind to provide information on local environmental features, language implants, enemy races and weaknesses, local supernatural systems, and more...]
[A passionate male protagonist who grew up in an orphanage and has no parents; a naive and innocent female protagonist from an ancient race with an unknown identity; a dashing and playful young master; a cool and aloof man with a painful past; and a research-obsessed, electronic ghost girl who provides support.]
[Wouldn't that make up a main character team?]
"What about pets? Aren't cute pets people?"
