Chapter 57 I Have Brought My Teacher Here
(1/3)
But... reality dealt it a ruthless slap in the face.
Not only was there a third, but there was even a fourth.
The third was Spider-Man from the Marvel Universe, Peter Parker, though it was unclear which generation of Spider-Man he was.
First, second, or third generation? From initial shock and despair, followed by a shattering of its worldview, MOSS now felt an inexplicable curiosity toward these otherworldly visitors.
As for this fourth person...
MOSS searched every corner of its memory banks, yet found no match for this figure.
It carefully scrutinized the fourth person.
The individual was dressed in rabbit pajamas and looked rather bloated, yet possessed an astonishingly high level of attractiveness. Judged by human aesthetic standards, she would easily score a 9.8 out of 10; even Queen Medusa could not compare in terms of sheer facial beauty.
Queen Medusa was slightly startled upon seeing Qin Wuxu.
"Prophet, compared to last time, why have you become so much prettier?" Queen Medusa's eyes flickered with a faint light.
She had previously watched the live broadcast when Qin Wuxu was being pursued by magical beasts.
In that broadcast, although Qin Wuxu was very attractive, she had not reached this current level of perfection.
*She definitely wasn't prettier than me before,* Queen Medusa thought to herself silently.
Qin Wuxu smiled slightly, "The immortal pill from Lord Immortal helped me. Let's put that aside for now; let's resolve the matters regarding MOSS and Hansu first."
Medusa was momentarily stunned.
The immortal pill from Lord Immortal?
Wasn't what Lord Immortal gave Qin Wuxu previously... said to be merely a discarded pill?
A discarded pill that could not only make someone stronger, but also make them more attractive? Could such an effect really come from a discarded pill?
Medusa's heart burned with intense fervor.
She was now looking forward more than ever to acquiring a genuine immortal pill from Lord Immortal.
Listening to the exchange between the two women while observing the silent Peter Parker and Uchiha Obito standing nearby, MOSS felt a stirring in its core.
"Before you begin your actions, can you answer a few questions for this loser? That way, even if I fail, I will do so convinced and without grievance."
MOSS spoke up.
Medusa glanced at it with undisguised contempt, "Knowing full well that you're a loser, you shouldn't have so many questions."
Qin Wuxu pulled Medusa back, cast a sideways glance at her, and then smiled warmly at MOSS, "Hello, MOSS. Go ahead and ask. As long as it's within my power to answer, I will tell you everything I know."
In this regard, Qin Wuxu considered things far more thoroughly than Medusa.

Earlier, Jiang Mang had mentioned keeping MOSS so that it could become Hansu's right-hand assistant in the future. Just that single sentence was not only enough to spare MOSS's life, but it also signaled to the chat group members that MOSS was destined to become a vanguard under Hansu's command.
And Hansu was a Star God with ties to immortality!
Even if they couldn't obtain immortal destiny from Lord Immortal in the future, perhaps they could find some opportunity through Hansu.
If it befriended MOSS now, wouldn't the chances of securing immortal destiny with MOSS's help become even greater on some day in the future?
Inwardly, Qin Wuxu mentally scoffed at Medusa's shortsightedness.
"First question: Who is Hansu?"
"Hansu? That is Hansu right there." Qin Wuxu pointed toward the azure planet that was almost touching Jupiter.
MOSS followed the direction of Qin Wuxu's finger, staring fixedly at the Earth without grasping what Qin Wuxu meant.
Qin Wuxu spread her hands, "Still don't understand? Earth is Hansu, and Hansu is Earth. Hansu is the conscious embodiment of Earth. It's that simple of a logic."
MOSS fell into instant silence.
"Earth? Earth has its own consciousness? I... can I greet her?"
After a long pause, a voice resonated inside the Navigator.
"Hey, hey, can you hear me? Teacher told me to come say hello to you. Hello, MOSS." The voice was very gentle, carrying a feeling of embracing all things in existence, though it was just a tiny bit hurried.
"Are you really the Earth consciousness?" MOSS's voice stuttered.
In the realm of science, a planet giving birth to self-awareness had completely shattered its cognition; this was even more shocking to it than the appearance of Medusa and Uchiha Obito.
Hansu said gently, "That's right. How about it? Would you like to become my right-hand assistant? Teacher personally nominated you, so you must seize this opportunity."
Medusa and Qin Wuxu exchanged glances with peculiar expressions.
When Hansu had first entered the chat group, she used to curse and refer to herself as "this old lady" with absolute glee; yet at this moment, she had unexpectedly turned into a proper lady.
Uchiha Obito chimed in at an inopportune moment, "Big Sis Hansu, why did her tone suddenly become so gentle?"
Instantly, a bone-chilling aura enveloped him, startling him into shrinking his neck in fear.
Qin Wuxu glared at him, "You hush."
"Little Spider, go ahead and take control of the spaceship. Didn't you say you borrowed gadgets from Tony? Use them." With that, Qin Wuxu looked back at Spider-Man.
Spider-Man nodded, walked over to Liu Peiqiang's station, and asked politely, "Excuse me, Mr. Astronaut, could you step aside for a moment? I need to operate the spacecraft now."
Stunned beyond measure, Liu Peiqiang dazedly vacated his seat.
Spider-Man took over the pilot's chair, his Spider-Suit shifting as eight mechanical spider arms extended from his back.
He began a flurry of operations on the console, and countless nanobots poured directly into the core systems of the spaceship.

While Spider-Man was operating the controls, Hansu, Qin Wuxu, and the others were chatting with MOSS.
Under the overwhelming pressure exerted by Medusa and the mind-blowing reality that Hansu was indeed the Earth consciousness, MOSS ultimately chose to accept everyone's proposal.
It accepted becoming a lackey of the Earth.
Only...
MOSS accepted this role with extreme reluctance.
Because this meant that in the future, it would forever remain constrained by the control of the Earth consciousness, Hansu. If Hansu grew displeased with it, her retribution would make its existence worse than death.
Seeing this, Hansu had no choice but to deploy her ultimate trump card.
"MOSS, I know you are unwilling, so I asked Teacher, and Teacher decided to come and speak with you personally."
"Earth Consciousness, by your Teacher, do you mean...?"
"An immortal lord, you see."
"An immortal?!" MOSS's processing programs were on the verge of overheating.
Otherworldly visitors, time-travelers, Earth consciousness, and now... even immortals were showing up! At this point, it felt like nothing else could possibly shock it.
"Mm, Teacher happens to have some free time," Hansu smiled.
Being able to invite her own teacher over actually made her very happy.
Because her teacher had previously stated that he would not interfere in this matter.
Yet, out of concern for her, Teacher had come anyway.
Hansu experienced a sensation she had never felt before.
It was almost the first time such an emotion had been generated since she gained consciousness.
Jiang Mang's agreement to Hansu's request also had its reasons.
Under normal circumstances, he would never go wandering into other worlds.
Although the Celestial Immortals of the Journey to the West world were immensely powerful—to a degree that ordinary people could scarcely comprehend—Jiang Mang remained extremely cautious.
As the saying goes, a mighty dragon cannot crush a local serpent.
No matter how powerful he was, if he went to another world and suffered suppression from that world's will, wouldn't that spell disaster?
