Wu Qi looked at the figure in the distance in disbelief.
"Young Master." Wu Qi had imagined meeting his young master many times, but he was momentarily at a loss for words when he actually met the latter.
Miss and Young Master were the two people who had left the deepest mark in his life! After waking up in reality, Wu Qi gradually became one of the Demon Vanquishing Group's upper echelons. He interacted with many people, and that led to him 'caring' about fewer and fewer people.
"Dad, who is he?" The young man and woman beside him were a little nervous as they watched the mysterious figure traverse the void.
"Young Master, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Wu Tanqiu, and this is my son, Wu Cheng'an." Wu Qi immediately introduced them. "Kids, this is Lord Wu Ming."
"Lord Wu Ming." The young man and woman were a little puzzled. They didn't even know who Lord Wu Ming was, but they still bowed obediently.
"Wu Tanqiu, Wu Cheng'an?" Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "Cheng'an Prefecture…"
"Yeah, Cheng'an Prefecture from the Demon Vanquishing World." Wu Qi smiled and nodded. "That's my true hometown."
As for the mineral planet in reality, Wu Qi didn't want to think of it at all, nor did he admit that it was his homeworld.
In the Demon Vanquishing World's Cheng'an Prefecture, Wu Qi experienced a colorful life. There, he learned new things, martial arts, and human principles. There were also people who truly cared about him.
In his heart, Wu Qi had long treated Demon Vanquishing World's Cheng'an Prefecture as his hometown.
"The two of you can go back first," Wu Qi immediately urged.
"Okay." The young siblings didn't dare say anything else and left obediently.
Xu Jingming smiled and watched. "They're already Lv. 6 cosmic lifeforms at such a young age. Uncle Qi, your children are quite talented in the evolutionary path."
"Their mother and I are both Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms. Perhaps it's hereditary, but the two kids are quite talented." Wu Qi was clearly very satisfied with his children. Then, he said, "Let's have a seat at my place. We can have a chat there."
…
Wu Qi got the smart bot to prepare delicacies, and he brought two bottles of good wine to entertain Xu Jingming.
The two sat opposite each other, and through the glass window beside them, they could see more than half of the planetary prison's buildings.
"Uncle Qi, you've long learned of my identity in reality?" Xu Jingming asked with a smile.
"Young Master, your name is Wu Ming in the Demon Vanquishing World, and your Demon Vanquisher realm increased so quickly," Wu Qi said with a smile. "After I learned the truth about the Demon Vanquishing World in reality, I quickly guessed that you must be an extremely talented evolver. I also deliberately gathered information on Wu Ming in the virtual world. Only then did I learn about the most dazzling genius in our Cosmic Human Alliance—Lord Wu Ming."
"Later on, I also saw some videos of you in Battle of the Universe's Apex. In the videos, you also used spearmanship. I could see the traces of your spearmanship from the one used in the Demon Vanquishing World."
"Actually, I confirmed your identity the moment I saw those battle videos," Wu Qi said with a smile. "After all, we'd been together for more than ten years."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Back when he left the Demon Vanquishing World and immediately embarked on Journey to the Universe's Apex, he hadn't undergone many changes.
"Why didn't you contact me?" Xu Jingming asked. "You should've been able to contact me through the Demon Vanquishing Group."
"Young Master, you were already an Origin lifeform when I discovered your identity in reality," Wu Qi said. "With your status, you can contact me at any time if you want to see me. Since you didn't contact me… it means that it wasn't the time to meet."
Wu Qi was very hesitant back then.
He yearned to meet his young master, but he was also a little afraid! He cared a lot about his young master, but did his young master care about him?
"Perhaps it was only a virtual world journey for you, and you didn't plan on interacting with me in reality," Wu Qi said. "I didn't want to disturb you again."
"Seriously." Xu Jingming shook his head and said, "I was aware of your identity a long time ago. I also got Keyu to take care of you."
"Keyu took such good care of me, and he was even the one who helped me escape punishment… So it's because of you, Young Master." Wu Qi came to a realization. He had previously felt that Lord Keyu thought highly of him, but he now understood the root cause.
"I've been very busy since I became an Origin lifeform," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Considering how I'm no longer busy anymore, I thought of meeting up with you, Uncle Qi."
"You're no longer busy?" Wu Qi asked.
"Now?" Xu Jingming smiled and said, "You can say that I'm free. At the very least, I rarely participate in the border battlefield."
Wu Qi nodded slightly. He had heard of the species battlefield at the border, but he wasn't qualified to participate in a battlefield at that level.
"Young Master, do you want to meet Miss?" Wu Qi asked.
"Miss Wu from the Demon Vanquishing World?" Xu Jingming asked.
Wu Qi nodded.
His feelings for Miss Wu weren't inferior to his feelings for his young master.
"There's no need to meet," Xu Jingming replied. "When I descended into the Demon Vanquishing World, Miss Wu had already passed away. We didn't interact."
Wu Qi nodded slightly.
Even if countless volunteers descended into the Demon Vanquishing World to become natives, some would descend as children, while others would descend as teenagers! Typically, few would descend as babies.
When one descended as an infant, they could only lie down. It was a waste of precious time.
"I know Miss Wu's name is Feng Yuqing in reality," Xu Jingming said. "Uncle Qi, you've done a lot for her over the years."
Wu Qi nodded. "I understand. Miss is actually very outstanding. She's devoted to her species and spares no expense in rebuilding their homeworld's civilization. Although I think they're like moths darting to a flame, they still don't hesitate…"
"You want to save her?" Xu Jingming asked.
"Yeah."
Wu Qi looked at Xu Jingming. "Young Master, I want you to save her! I don't care about the others in the Flower Village, nor can I. I want to save Miss, who's now in prison; I just need her saved."
Xu Jingming nodded. "Uncle Qi, I'm preparing to establish a new corporation and need a manager. Can you help me?"
This corporation had nothing to do with the Pearwood Group. It was prepared for imitation.
"Build a new corporation? I'll manage it?" Wu Qi was surprised.
"I trust you," Xu Jingming stated.
Wu Qi nodded. "Alright, I'll help you manage this corporation in the future."
"Follow me to the virtual world to meet two people," Xu Jingming said.
…
In Xu Jingming's personal space in the virtual world.
"Brother Wu Ming."
Two figures walked over side by side. The two of them were very thin, and their smiles were extremely bright and enthusiastic.
"This is Wu Qi." Xu Jingming introduced Wu Qi.
"Wu Qi, these two are Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms of the Qingfang civilization. They are Lord Landoway and Lord Toming."
Wu Qi had long known that two Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms from the Qingfang civilization had appeared in front of him.
"Lord Landoway, Lord Toming." Wu Qi was very humble.
"Have a seat," Xu Jingming said.
The four of them sat down.
As Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms, Landoway and Toming were naturally impressive existences in a Star Alliance. However, the two of them didn't show any arrogance in front of Xu Jingming.
When Xu Jingming was a captain on a Lv. 10 battle planet, many of his team members had grasped high-dimensional powers. As for Landoway and Toming, only Landoway could use high-dimensional powers with external objects.
Toming was much inferior.
"Brother Wu Ming, what's the occasion?" Landoway asked.
"Feel free to instruct us. We'll do our best if it's within our means." Toming was extremely proactive.
Xu Jingming was one of the top few people in the Primordial Research Institute, and his talent was number one in this era. Now that he was corrupted by high-dimensional powers and could lose control at any moment… They didn't dare to offend him at all.
They wanted to try their best to coax this figure.
"Your Qingfang civilization once annexed the Flower Village civilization," Xu Jingming asked. "The Flower Village civilization's Lv. 9 Origin lifeform died just thousands of years ago, but you completely annexed it. To this day, many members of Flower Village still secretly want to rebuild the Flower Village civilization, am I right?"
"Yes." Landoway and Toming nodded.
"The Flower Village are old acquaintances of mine," Xu Jingming said.
Landoway and Toming were stunned.
"The Flower Village civilization voluntarily integrated into our Qingfang civilization through countless cosmic referendums." Landoway couldn't help but say, "Although there are rebels, there are only a few."
"Lord Wu Ming," Toming said, "why don't our Qingfang civilization give up a few galaxies and let those Flower Village people who are willing to rebuild their civilization migrate voluntarily?"
"It's fine giving up a few galaxies," Landoway said, "but to be honest, there aren't many rebels. More than 99% of the Flower Village civilization wants to maintain their current peaceful lives."
"I know." Xu Jingming nodded. "There's no need for you to give up any galaxy or planet. Release the Flower Village rebels you imprisoned and get them to migrate voluntarily. They will migrate out of the Hunter Cosmic Sector and rebuild their civilization in other cosmic sectors."
"No problem."
"We will get all the Flower Village citizens to choose voluntarily. Anyone who's willing to migrate can do so," Landoway and Toming immediately said.
Xu Jingming nodded.
Migrating to other cosmic sectors was also to prevent the newly established Flower Village civilization from fighting the Qingfang civilization again. The Flower Village civilization was too weak, so the outcome of the battle was unquestionable.
"Then, it's decided." Xu Jingming nodded.
"Don't worry." Landoway and Toming smiled, relaxed.
Wu Qi felt mixed emotions as he watched from the side. Miss and countless others have worked hard for generations, but they still don't see any hope for the goal they've been working hard for regardless of the costs. However, with a word from Young Master, two Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms from the Qingfang civilization arrived. The matter was resolved simply.
…
Many high-security criminals were imprisoned in Qingfang Civilization's Blacktooth Maximum Security Prison. These criminals were imprisoned here because of their serious crimes and strength.
In one of the prisons.
A silver-haired woman sat silently against the wall.
The Qingfang Civilization is too powerful. With it stopping us, no Star Alliance will accept us. Even if they do, the Qingfang civilization has a way to destroy our new civilization, the silver-haired woman thought to herself.
Her heart was filled with sorrow.
The Qingfang civilization will definitely not allow us to rebuild our civilization. It wants to completely annex all of Flower Village's citizens. Therefore, it's impossible for the Flower Village's spiritual faith, the Flower Village civilization, to be successfully reconstructed.
They won't show mercy to any rebels they discover.
The Qingfang civilization with nearly 9,000 galactic territories is too powerful! There's no hope of success at all, the silver-haired woman thought.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, the cell door opened automatically.
The silver-haired woman looked out of the cell door in confusion as a smart bot came to the door.
"Feng Yuqing, you've been pardoned. You're free."
