Qinchuan left Area 1 with a heart full of doubts. On his way to Area 2, he kept thinking about the last sentence the Ninth Elder said to him.
"This matter is not as simple as I thought.
Could it be that the Tian people know that the Void Empire's ally is Zerg? "
Qin Chuan was extremely suspicious, and said in a low voice: "If the Tian Clan knows about this, doesn't that mean that this is already something that is out in the open, but no one has deliberately exposed it?"
"Why would they condone Zerg's collusion with the Void Empire?"
Qinchuan had too many questions that he wanted to ask, but unfortunately, the Ninth Elder did not intend to solve them for him. Obviously, with his current situation, he could not touch on such a deeper matter. Perhaps he could really come into contact with the truth of these things after he advanced to the Combination Stage.
Since he could not figure it out, Qinchuan temporarily put these things to the back of his mind. He was about to meet Lü Zi, and he could not help but feel excited.
When Qinchuan arrived at Sharmila's Cultivation Palace and saw Lü Zi standing in the garden, the two of them could not help but burst into tears. They quickly ran to each other, hugged each other tightly, and even kissed each other sweetly without any scruples.
Sharmila stood aside and watched Qinchuan and Lü Zi interact intimately as if there was no one else around. She could not help but sigh, "This is true love."
After the five-minute affectionate kiss, Qinchuan held Lü Zi's cheeks with both hands and said to Lü Zi, "I missed you very much."
Lü Zi nodded. Tears fell down her cheeks. She choked and said, "I missed you too. Sharmila told me a lot about you. It's really been hard on you."
"In order to protect you, to protect our friends, this little bit of hard work is nothing."
Qinchuan grinned. He could not help but peck Lü Zi's rosy lips twice. He said to Lü Zi, "It's really been hard on you. In order to save me, you came all the way to the Celestial Cluster. You fought here alone, and you were schemed against by bad people. You went through so many hardships. It's really not easy."
"Well … you two have a good chat. I will leave this place to you. I won't come here for the time being, and no one will disturb you."
Sharmila tactfully chose to leave. She also created an absolutely quiet environment for Qinchuan and Lü Zi to get along. It could be said that she had done her best.
After Sharmila left, Qinchuan and Lü Zi walked hand in hand in the garden. They chatted as they strolled. They talked about the things that happened in the past, some of their experiences during cultivation, some of their experiences in life, and even some of their future. They talked until the sky was dark, but they were still not satisfied.
"The period of time when I was under the influence of the Art of Ignorance was the most painful and darkest days of my life. Lettuce used me to threaten Bai Yuu and Lin. They sacrificed too much to protect me."
Lü Zi held Qinchuan's hand tightly. She said to Qinchuan, "I miss our friends in the Star Dragon Federation."
Qinchuan nodded slightly. He said to Lü Zi, "I also miss my friends in the Star Dragon Federation very much. If there is a chance, I want to go back."
Ever since he learned that Tron Nebula was destroyed by Zerg, Qinchuan wanted to go back and investigate this matter. Then, he would find a chance to go back to the Banished Land and see his old friends.
"If we go back now, will we bring disaster to them?"
Lü Zi looked at Qinchuan and said with some hesitation, "If the Void Empire finds out about the Banished Land, they will be in danger."
Qinchuan sighed. He said to Lü Zi, "The Void Empire has an ally, and that is Zerg. Since Zerg knows about the Banished Land, then the Void Empire must also know about it. However, the Laws of Heaven and Earth in the Banished Land are very special. No matter how powerful a person is, their realm will be suppressed to the Great Circle of the Nascent Soul realm. In this case, no matter how many people the Void Empire and Zerg send to the Banished Land, it will not be a good thing. Therefore, the Banished Land should be safe for the time being."
If it weren't for the special Laws of Heaven and Earth in the Banished Land that suppressed everyone's realm, Qinchuan might not have been able to defeat Zerg's Red Vanguard, and he might not have been able to kill Kargad with the help of the Heavenly Light.
Qinchuan believed that over the years, Zerg might have launched many attacks on the Banished Land, but he firmly believed that Zerg would definitely not gain any benefits.
"We can go back, but we need a suitable opportunity."
Qinchuan said to Lü Zi, "Now that you are at the peak of the Dongxu realm, try to break through to the Great Circle of the Dongxu realm as soon as possible and try to advance to the Unification Stage.
When we have stronger power, we will have more say. "
Qinchuan wanted to go back, but he didn't want to go back with Lü Zi and leave with only the two of them. He wanted to bring more people out and lead everyone into a wider universe.
In the past, they had no place to live, but now it was different. Tron City had become a dead land, and it happened to be the first stop for the Human Race and the Demon Race when they returned to the universe!
With his current strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to ask for Tron Nebula from the Celestial Cluster, but he believed that after he advanced to the Unification Stage, it would no longer be a difficult task!
"Qinchuan, whenever I am alone, I always feel lucky for the decision I made back then."
Lü Zi looked at Qinchuan affectionately, "If I didn't choose to leave the Banished Land with you and come to the outside world, I wouldn't have seen such a wonderful universe and realized the vastness and power of this world."
Qinchuan smiled slightly and nodded, "I also often feel lucky that I made the decision to leave the Banished Land and explore the universe. Otherwise, I may be under pressure from Zerg's attack now. I will never see how wonderful the world of the Divine Transformation Stage is, let alone have the opportunity to comprehend Dao Runes and reach where I am today step by step."
As they chatted, the two returned to the Cultivation Palace. Lü Zi had her own bedroom here, but Sharmila deliberately did not make any arrangements for Qinchuan.
When they walked into the bedroom, Qinchuan and Lü Zi realized this matter. Qinchuan scratched his head and said to Lü Zi, "Have a good rest. I happen to have a lot of new battle formations to comprehend. I will cultivate in the cultivation room at night. If you need anything, just call me."
Lü Zi nodded gently and said, "Then … go ahead."
After Qinchuan turned and left, Lü Zi glanced faintly at Qinchuan's back that was about to disappear around the corner, and muttered in a low voice, "What a fool."
