"I love this world, I love this peaceful land beneath my feet... I love it to the point where I can't love it any more..."
"I can see that!" Su Han smiled. He had already vaguely figured out Xu Changnan's personality. He was a very scary guy. Despite having such great strength, he put his ideals and beliefs above everything else, and was even willing to abandon his life.
Of course, Su Han didn't dislike him, because his goal was the same as Xu Changnan's.
They all hoped for peace on this land beneath their feet, to prevent the world from being ravaged by war... As a comrade-in-arms, Xu Changnan was someone they could entrust their lives to... Well, his only weakness was that his strength seemed somewhat lacking, and he was so easily driven to his death.
"Speaking of which, what about your injury?" Su Han looked Xu Changnan up and down.
"It's alright." Xu Changnan stroked his slightly stubbled chin. "I'll go back and recuperate for a year or two. Anyway, Huaya will cover the expenses. I have no worries. I just need to do my duty... If I become disabled, Huaya will take care of me in my old age. If I die, then it doesn't matter. I probably won't even be able to find my ashes after I die!"
Su Han's expression was somewhat strange, but she still waved at him, then her figure floated lightly into the distance, "Then I'll be going now."
Xu Changnan remained silent. He would keep Su Han's kindness in his heart. Expressing gratitude verbally for saving his life would be too frivolous.
...
Without a sound, Su Han returned to his home. He sat cross-legged on the bed and fell into deep thought.
"That guy, he also sees the Misty Space as a nascent universe? How come they're all like this..."
Su Han suddenly fell silent, a terrifying possibility dawning on him. Could it be… that those guys' guesses were all true?
After all, strictly speaking, he still doesn't understand what the Misty Space is.
Or rather, as he encountered top beings from various worlds within the Misty Space and gained terrifying powers through this space... he felt his curiosity about the Misty Space growing stronger...
"My increased strength and the integration of the evil god's power are causing the mist space to change and grow."
Su Han's eyes flickered. After a long while, he calmed himself down. "Forget it... since I don't understand, I'll just keep going... and when I reach the end of the road, I'll naturally understand."
After stretching and washing up, Su Han went to bed, still thinking about things before falling asleep.
"Why does this enemy seem... even weaker than Li Xianyu we encountered last time? And... I thought Xu Changnan was much stronger, but he's much weaker than I imagined..."
"Wait a minute... Li Huo's WeChat message to me seemed to say that before the Six Harmonies, the evil god's followers could crush humans at the same cultivation level, but after the Six Harmonies, one human cultivator of the same level could take on three..."
Li Xianyu is a follower of an evil god who was transformed from a human saint... so he also possesses combat power far exceeding that of his peers.
"So... this sixth-stage evil god's familiar is considered relatively strong among its peers? Before, when I devoured the spider monster... because it was still active, I threw that spider directly into the mist space... so the evil god power I've accumulated in my body is only from devouring that octopus monster... Hmm, that should be enough to raise my Observation Haki to a higher level?"
Lost in these random, strange thoughts, Su Han gradually drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, when Su Han was woken up by Su Zhu, he expected Su Zhu to go on and on about some big news in Jiangzhou. But this time, Su Zhu was very calm.
Su Han immediately found it strange and subtly probed, finally realizing from Su Zhu's bewildered expression that she probably didn't know what happened last night.
------------
Chapter 89 As your family, I have the right to be selfish.
"In other words, was yesterday's incident suppressed?"
While sipping his porridge, Su Han seemed lost in thought. He suddenly remembered that the battle last night had taken place in the Evil Realm. And before the Evil Realm collapsed, both of the Evil God's followers had also perished.
Admittedly, yesterday's battle couldn't have been completely unnoticed. It certainly had an impact on the outside world. But that impact was ultimately limited and could be suppressed by Xu Changnan.
After breakfast, Su Zhu went to class as usual. Su Han stared at Su Zhu speechlessly. She had already been admitted to Jinling University in advance, yet she was still following the established routine... However, Su Han roughly understood why Su Zhu had been able to complete seven body-strengthening sessions at her age.
This is inseparable from her diligence and hard work.
"...I really wish you were just an ordinary person, living an ordinary life." Su Han murmured. Su Zhu's journey to the school was entirely within Su Han's Observation Haki. If anything were to happen, Su Han would arrive immediately.
Su Zhu went to Jinling, and Su Han's Observation Haki was too far away to reach her, which is why he went along. But that's all he can do; he won't help Su Zhu become a strong person.
Because he wanted Su Zhu to live a peaceful and warm life like an ordinary person in this peaceful society... rather than for Su Zhu to become the pillar supporting peace in this society.
With him as a pillar of world peace, that is enough.
"It's selfish, but as your brother... no one will blame you for being a little selfish, right?"
After a brief silence, Su Han returned to her room.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, thought for a moment, and then closed his eyes and entered the misty space.
...
A mist rises, filling the halls marked by the passage of time, standing silently. On rows of bronze chairs, figures of varying shapes and sizes are shrouded in the mist.
"It's truly a dreamlike journey." Whitebeard's voice was deep as he stared at the star of the storyline that Conan belonged to with an inscrutable expression.
"No, it's less of a dream and more of a disaster journey." Huang Rong's eyelids twitched. "How can you die like this? People are dying one after another. From the moment we entered, it was just death, solving cases, death, solving cases..."
Sighing, Huang Rong complained softly, "At first I thought it was because the plot stars were condensing too quickly, so I only focused on the killing part... I never imagined that the real plot stars were like that too."
Aizen fell silent, recalling Rukia Kuchiki's earlier words. He looked at the taciturn Conan again, a strange expression creeping onto his face.
"More like a Shinigami than us? Perhaps! We are Shinigami from Soul Society who cultivate a unique spiritual power system... while this guy is very likely the kind of Shinigami who brings death wherever he goes..."
The two types of Grim Reapers are different in nature, but if we have to say... perhaps Conan, who seems to bring death wherever he goes, is more in line with humanity's understanding of Grim Reapers.
“Your Excellency the Speaker of the Council!” Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had been silent, spoke up. He stared at the bronze throne, which was shrouded in mist, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
However, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized something and swallowed all the words that were on the tip of his tongue. After repeatedly considering them in his mind and making sure there was no problem, he cautiously spoke, "Thank you for showing me the future I belong to."
Su Han didn't speak, but simply looked down at the scene below.
“He won’t respond to you unless you bring up topics that will interest the Speaker,” Madara Uchiha said calmly.
