Watching his daughter who was getting more and more mature and the stubbornness in her eyes more and more similar to her mother’s and his wife’s, Gu Zhengyang could do nothing except nod his head in a silly

smile.

“Dad, look—”

Liu Li stood on his tiptoes and pointed at the unloading area of the crystal warship not far away. He said, “Those are the components of the ‘climate balance system’, the special drugs to cleanse the soil that has been

contaminated by radiation, and the new fertilizers provided by the biochemical experts of the federation. With them, not only will the climate on the badlands be stabilized again, the weather will be mild every year,

and the land that has been contaminated by radiation will gradually become clean and fertile. Not to mention the abundance of grains, at the very least, gold foil should be able to be grown in large quantities and

survive.

“All my life, I’ve been trying to grow a lot of Gold Caltrops so that the evil land would be peaceful again.

“It’s a pity that my mother’s dream did not come true in the end. Even if she did grow a lot of gold foil, it was impossible for the small gold foil to bring true peace in the evil land where people ate human beings.

“But right now, with the help of Elder Yao, the Emperor, and the Fist King, it is very likely that we will be able to plant the gold ingots all over the Badlands and all over the planet!

“It won’t be long before the brutal bandits in front of us turn into laborers who can make their own living. The hands that used to wield weapons and kill each other are now able to manipulate farming and engineering

magical equipment to clean up the pollution and grow crops. Even if they can only harvest one gold leaf, it will still be better than harvesting other people’s lives and their own, right, Dad?”

“Right… Right…”

Gu Zhengyang gazed at the lively unloading and assembling scene in front of him. A large batch of spiritual puppets, reflecting the brilliance of the sun, were igniting new brilliance like bouncing sparks.

He rubbed his eyes, but he still felt that the scene in front of him was unreal, as if he, or rather, all the natives, had a nightmare that was hundreds of years long.

Now, he was back to himself.

Hope was right ahead.

While Gu Zhengyang and Liu Li were gazing at hope from the city wall, Han Te pulled the Fist King aside mysteriously on a hill not far away from the city.

Ever since he absorbed the data pieces of the Fuxis, the boxing champion had advanced into a higher level. Controlling almost a hundred spiritual puppets at the same time was not a problem for him at all. He could

suppress the brutal bandits with ‘Grand Iron City 2.0’ while he summoned an ordinary spiritual puppet more than two meters tall and listened to Han’s rambling.

“Seriously, how can the Fist King be like this? Didn’t we agree in the beginning that I should jump down and show off in front of my hometown?”

Han Te looked at the Fist King in grief. “I’ve been eclipsed by Li Jialing in the defense of the capital city. I was crushed by him to the point that there was nothing left of me. Now that I’m back in my hometown, I was

planning to return to my hometown in glory. Can’t you satisfy such a small request? How embarrassing!”

“I could’ve let you show off for a while.

The Fist King said casually, “But at that time, the city was under siege. The situation was critical. One more second of delay meant one more death. My life was too precious. I had to act in advance. Sorry.”

“Uh…”

Han Te scratched his head. Putting aside the fact that he was a playboy and thought too highly of himself, he was still a kind-hearted young man from the Wasteland after all. The Fist King had given him a reason that

his life was precious and apologized to him solemnly. He was too embarrassed to say anything else. Rolling his eyes, he waved his hands and said, “Forget it. It’s not a big deal. Let’s not talk about it. It’s just that I didn’t

expect that the Fist King would come back to the Wasteland with us. A big shot who is both powerful and influential like you can play a pivotal role in the negotiations of the federation, the imperium, and the Holy

Alliance. But you abandoned everything and returned with us. How loyal you are!”

“The Badlands is your hometown as well as mine.

The Fist King said, “My first understanding of the world began in the Badlands. When the Badlands were in trouble, of course, I had to come back and rescue them.

“Yes, yes. That’s why I said that the Fist King is the most loyal!”

Rubbing his hands, Han Te smiled cunningly. “Well, Master Fist King, the thing we talked about last time should be fine, right?”

The boxing champion was silent for a while.

The crystal processor crackled.

“What is it?”

He seemed to be asking calmly.

“Hey, it can’t be that the Fist King has forgotten, right? It’s… it’s that. We’ve agreed on this a long time ago!”

Han Te scratched his cheek and said, “You see, the three sides have just been established. The entire universe is gradually returning to peace. Even if there is going to be a war, it will be a long time later. Besides, I’ve

been listening to your teachings for more than half a year. I’ve never touched my own hands, not to mention seducing the crazy bees and butterflies.

“I’ve thought about it. My feelings for Liuli are sincere. I really like her. Not only do I treat her as my childhood sweetheart, but my competitor is also very strong. Damn it! My rival in love is the emperor of the

Imperium of True Human Beings! Is—is there any justice in this world? Is there any law in this world? The gods are playing with me!

“Thankfully, luckily, I had the advantage of being in a favorable position. While Liu Li and I were returning to our hometown in glory, the yellow-haired kid was far away from us. I struck first to gain the upper hand.

With a super romantic and grand confession, I took down Liu Li! Hehehehe. Even if the yellow-haired kid burst into fury, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to me, right?

“Therefore, you must help me, Fist King!

“Liu Li has been with you every day. She always says that ‘Lord Fist King’ is long and ‘Lord Fist King’ is short. She listens to you the most. It will be absolutely fine if you help me arrange this grand and romantic

confession.

“I’ve told you this many times when I was in the coalition fleet of the arsonists. You always promised me that you wouldn’t rush to confess to Liu Li in private. You said that you would keep an eye on Liu Li and find the

best time for me. Of course, it was not the best time during the chaos. But everything is good now. The right time, the right place, and the right people are all here. Otherwise, today is the day. Do you think it’s

appropriate to confess to Liu Li today, Master Fist King?”

The boxing champion was silent for a long time.

The crystal processor was humming, as if a bunch of bees were growing inside the iron skull.

“Unsuitable.”

He said casually.

“Why?”

Han Te was greatly disappointed. “I’ve thought about it for a long time. This is the best opportunity. Without the golden-haired brat harassing me, you and my master will help me. Then, every grass and every tree in

my hometown will bring back beautiful memories for me and Liuli. If that doesn’t work, I—I have no chance at all!”

“Don’t you find it sordid?”

The boxing champion said, “You were scared of competing with Li Jialing. That’s why you dared to attack him in secret when he was not around. Such behavior is definitely not the behavior of a man. Even if Liuli agrees

now, she will certainly be disappointed by your cowardice when she discovers your scheme one day.”

“Well—”

As if struck by lightning, Han Te’s face was pale. “I—I’m scared of Li Jialing? I’m timid? Liuli will be disappointed in me?”

The boxing champion’s words hit the nail on the head.

Faced with the brilliance of the emperor of the Imperium of True Human Beings, how could he, a young man who had nothing, not be scared, frustrated, or scared?

“Besides, you won’t succeed.

The Fist King said coldly, “As the saying goes, ‘Confession is not a battle cry, but a triumphant song after victory’. Liu Li is a very innocent, pure, and kind girl. Right now, she is treating you as her brother

wholeheartedly and does not have any other thoughts. Is there a 5% chance of success if you confess to her in such a straightforward way? You are truly asking for your own death. How foolish!”

ee

Han Te was dazed for a long time. He sniffed and squatted, holding his head, while he sighed and said, “I know that I was too reckless, but my love rival is too tough. There won’t be a second chance after this one. When

I return to the stars and face the goddamn golden-haired brat, what if he wants Liuli to be the empress of the imperium? I—I don’t stand a chance at all!”

“If that’s what you think, you really don’t stand a chance.

The boxing champion said casually, “If you really like Liu Li, even if your love rival is the emperor, you will have to train yourself to be stronger than him and blow up the brilliant stars around him one by one. Only with

such determination can you be qualified to be the guardian of Liu Li, right?”

“It’s—it’s true that I’ve been training hard, too. But I’m a Fire Manipulator. No matter how strong a Fire Manipulator is, even if they become a fleet commander, they will still be far from the emperor, won’t they?

Han Te wanted to cry but had no tears. “Lord Fist King, what can I do to surpass the golden-haired boy? I—I don’t see any hope at all. I might as well confess to Liu Li right now and say that I’m timid or shameless.

Whatever. I might as well try my best. What if?”

“Don’t—don’t—don’t be anxious. Don’t be rash. Don’t be rash. Didn’t I promise to help you?”

The crystal eye of the Fist King glittered. “Even if your love rival is the emperor of the Imperium of True Human Beings, you might still have ways to surpass him. Everything depends on your courage, determination,

and patience.

“Tell me, Han Te. Do you want to… study magic?”

“What?”

Han Te was dumbfounded.

“Learn magic and become the first great sorcerer since the universe was created.

The Fist King said solemnly, “There are countless emperors in history, and Li Jialing is just one of them. But you are the first great sorcerer! As long as you become the first great sorcerer of the world of Cultivators, are

you afraid that you cannot compete with the emperor? No. You will surpass all the kings and dominators of the human world. You will grasp the most fundamental mysteries of the universe. You will be above the stars!.
