The middle-aged man became increasingly confused as he thought about it, and he looked at Saeko Busujima with suspicion and uncertainty.
It's not that he doesn't know Japanese, the key issue is that the Japanese that Saeko Busujima speaks sounds just like Chinese to him... and Saeko Busujima seems to understand the Chinese he speaks without any difficulty... and if he's an alien, why would an alien communicate with him in Japanese?
Su Han stared at the middle-aged man with a strange expression.
He was all too familiar with the middle-aged man's appearance; several TV dramas and movies even flashed through his mind...
Of course, in the end, Su Han confirmed the newcomer's identity through his omniscient power, and his expression became increasingly strange, "Liu Peiqiang from the Wandering Earth world?"
Liu Peiqiang, an alien astronaut who wandered the world of Earth, was also the hero who ultimately sacrificed himself to detonate the space station, ignite Jupiter, and save Earth.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. Su Han gently stroked the armrest with his fingers, made up his mind, and controlled Number Ten to speak.
“Liu Peiqiang, what Edward Newgate said is true! If he is willing to lend you a hand, then the chances of Earth safely leaving the solar system can be increased to almost 100%.”
After a brief silence, Weber spoke incredulously, "Um... wait a minute, Number Ten, you just said... that Earth has safely escaped the solar system, right?"
Weber felt a chill run down his spine. What world did this newcomer come from? And why was he bringing up the entire Earth?
Tony Stark's expression also turned serious, and he looked at Liu Peiqiang with suspicion.
"Oh? It seems you really are aliens, and with unimaginable technology?" Liu Peiqiang forced himself to calm down. He had obviously overthought things because of what Number Ten said. At this moment, he crossed his arms, his face expressionless, but his gaze was somewhat deep.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Peiqiang carefully considered his words before staring intently at the white-bearded man. "If you can guarantee the safety of Earth, then calling you 'father' won't be a problem."
The safety of the Earth, the safety of the Chinese people, and the safety of his relatives... are of paramount importance to Liu Peiqiang.
Liu Peiqiang's own dignity meant absolutely nothing under these circumstances.
Forget about self-respect; even if it meant his immediate death, he wouldn't flinch as long as Earth's safety was guaranteed!
"This really puts me in a difficult position," the white-bearded man said quietly. It wasn't that he was unwilling to help, but he had said it as a joke before, with more of a hint of sarcasm. Now, it seemed as if he was forcing Liu Peiqiang to acknowledge him as his father.
Yuuki Asuna sensed Whitebeard's embarrassment and changed the subject, "Um, Mr. Number Ten... what exactly do you mean by Earth leaving the solar system? You've really piqued my curiosity by only saying half of what you meant."
Number 10 did not speak.
Asuna Yuuki's lips twitched slightly, but she wasn't surprised. Number Ten's personality was just like that, full of uncertainty... No one knew what he would do next.
After thinking for a moment, Asuna Yuuki looked at Liu Peiqiang seriously and said, "Never mind... I'll explain the specifics of the council to this gentleman."
"Please speak frankly." Liu Peiqiang's attitude was frank, and he looked at the surrounding starry sky with a complicated expression.
Having determined that his abductors were high-tech aliens, he was determined to do everything in his power to obtain their help for Earth…
While it's possible that extraterrestrials harbor malicious intent, Earth's current situation is already dire enough...
Besides, he's already been caught, so Earth must have been discovered by aliens. If the aliens have malicious intent, his actions won't stop anything.
However, if the other party is well-intentioned or maintains a neutral stance, then his actions might actually get aliens to help Earth.
At this critical juncture, the help of an alien civilization with a technological advancement surpassing Earth's is incredibly important.
Perhaps we can fulfill the promise made by that tall alien... bringing the chances of Earth safely leaving the solar system to nearly 100%...
Yuuki Asuna was unaware of Liu Peiqiang's thoughts; she simply gave a serious explanation.
The reason she took on this thankless task was mainly to help the newcomer understand the current situation quickly, and then exchange the plot stars with the council chairman.
As she explained, Liu Peiqiang's expression gradually became strange, and astonishment and disbelief appeared in his pupils.
But before he could even voice his doubts, another person in the room spoke up seriously, "Hey, hey, hey... are you all serious? Or is this some kind of illusion deliberately created to target me?"
"Seriously... I'm just a down-on-his-luck god without any shrines to worship me, and I don't even have a place to live! Why are you targeting me..."
After a slight pause, the man continued, "Besides, even if it's an illusion, you shouldn't make up such insulting things to my intelligence... First, the Earth is going to leave the solar system! Although I've never been to school, I've lived for so long and I know a bit about the sun and some things about the universe."
"And the explanation that follows is even more outrageous... This place connects endless worlds and different multiverses!" The man in the tracksuit curled his lip. "That's really amazing... But if you're so powerful, why don't you say that you can create multiverses at will if you want to?"
Su Han looked at the second person with a strange expression. He knew this person's appearance all too well; he could recognize him without omniscience... It was none other than Yato, the protagonist of Noragami.

Tony Stark crossed his legs and looked at Yato with amusement. "You're right. There really are beings here capable of creating the multiverse... Maybe they can create universes with ease."
After a pause, Tony Stark glanced almost imperceptibly at Su Han before turning his gaze back to Number Ten.
It's almost certain that the Speaker of the Council can create a world... and Number Ten is almost certainly capable of doing the same...
Although the ancient gods often destroy the world, who says that beings that destroy the world cannot create it?
Needless to say, Number Ten is clearly an outlier among the Old Gods.
Yato choked.
"The newcomers over there... how do you think we came to be in this multiverse?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked.
"Huh?!" Yato paused, realizing the implication of Ying Zheng's words. His pupils suddenly contracted. "You mean... no, that's impossible! Wait a minute."
Yato suddenly lowered his eyes, and after a brief silence, he carefully sensed his surroundings. As he pondered, he shivered, slumped into his chair, and said nothing.
The gods have an extremely strong affinity with heaven and earth.
Yato immediately realized that the laws of this world were completely different from those of the world he had been in before. Clearly, this was indeed another world…
Moreover, when he extended his senses toward the figure seated on the bronze throne, he felt his own body nearly shatter...
