Chapter 60: The Wandering Earth Strikes Back! A Monumental Shift in the Plotline! [100k/1]

Yet this excitement did not last long before the sound echoing in his ear brought his dancing movements to an abrupt halt.

A clear voice resonated beside his ear.

The voice was exceedingly gentle and warm, akin to a wise elder offering patient guidance.

Yet, within the words, there was an inescapable sense of awe-inspiring majesty, making it impossible for anyone to forget the content conveyed by that mysterious voice.

Tim, the mixed-race young man, possessed a jittery and excitable disposition.

Frightened completely still in his tracks by Jiang Wang's single sentence, he remained frozen for a long while before speaking with trembling hesitation to Li Yiyi and Liu Qi, who stood beside him.

"Just now, someone told me that we are not far from death, and it echoed directly inside my head! It scared me out of my wits," Tim described in an exaggerated manner.

Liu Qi and Li Yiyi exchanged glances, both noticing the strange look in each other's eyes.

Han Duoduo stood nearby, her complexion looking rather grim as well.

"You heard it too, right?" Liu Qi asked Li Yiyi.

Li Yiyi nodded. "Yes, I heard it too! I thought one of you was playing some kind of trick."

"Then who was speaking?" Liu Qi asked with a puzzled expression. "And besides, we failed, didn't we? Why do I feel like we are getting further and further away from Jupiter?"

Li Yiyi adjusted his glasses. "Previously, I was a firm atheist; I never believed in the existence of gods. But today, I might have to alter my understanding."

His voice was soft and steady, and upon hearing it, the rest of the group flashed strange expressions in their eyes.

The young girl Han Duoduo asked curiously, "Could gods really exist in this world?"

Li Yiyi shook his head. "I don't know! But I just observed the situation of Jupiter and Earth."

Liu Qi cast a speechless glance at Li Yiyi.

He said with a hint of anger, "Could it not simply be that our plan succeeded? What kind of nonsense are you talking about, Li Yiyi?"

"What happened?" Seeing that the atmosphere was turning sour, Tim quickly made a joke. "It couldn't be that some god helped us separate Earth and Jupiter, could it? How is that possible! Maybe our plan just succeeded, plain and simple?"

Li Yiyi glanced at him and said calmly, "Brother saw it clearly. Our plan failed. At the exact moment when Earth was about to be completely captured by Jupiter, some kind of force separated Earth and Jupiter. Look up at Jupiter right now and see how far it is from us!"

Li Yiyi's mind was in utter chaos, yet oddly enough, he was exceptionally calm at this moment.

With a few short sentences, he described everything he had just observed.

Perhaps others wouldn't believe it, but he had truly, undeniably witnessed the scene that had just unfolded.

After they successfully ignited the planetary engines, the exhaust flames of the engines had indeed surged toward the vicinity of Jupiter.

However!

Li Yiyi clearly saw that at the very instant the exhaust flames were about to reach Jupiter... the distance was insufficient!

This meant their plan had not succeeded at all.

The plan to ignite Jupiter had already completely failed the moment the exhaust flames could not reach Jupiter's surface, and humanity was sentenced to extinction at that exact second.

Even the Navigator spacecraft and the astronauts on the space station could not possibly survive.

The massive explosion resulting from the collision between Earth and Jupiter would leave no life behind.

Yet, after the plan failed, Earth was no longer being pulled by Jupiter.

No, Li Yiyi shook his head.

"To be precise, after our plan failed, something anchored Earth in place! Stopping Earth from being pulled by Jupiter anymore."

"At that time, many things around me were drawn by Jupiter's gravity and flew upward. We held on tightly, which is why we weren't swept away."

"You're telling me our plan succeeded? If the plan succeeded, can anyone tell me why Jupiter's gravity is still there, yet Earth stopped moving? Not only did it stop moving, but the distance between us and Jupiter is now increasing?"

Every word Li Yiyi spoke made the expressions of everyone present grow a fraction stranger.

Rescue team captain Wang Lei nodded. "Li Yiyi is right. I noticed it too. After we started the planetary engines, Jupiter's gravity was still effective on Earth, but while the gravity was acting upon Earth, Earth came to a halt and no longer approached Jupiter."

"So? What are you trying to say? Gods? Immortals? If immortals really exist, why didn't they come out to stop the United Coalition Government when the Wandering Earth project first began?" Liu Qi still refused to believe it.

Han Duoduo tugged at the corner of his sleeve. "Liu Qi, don't be so hot-headed. Look at the distance between us and Jupiter. If our plan truly succeeded, according to our original hypothesis, a reaction force should have been generated from the massive explosion on Jupiter's surface by now, but we haven't been affected by anything at all, have we?"

Liu Qi was calmed down by Han Duoduo's words.

He sat dejectedly on the ground, opening the communication device on his arm as he wanted to contact his old man on the space station.

"I'll contact my dad. Up in space, he should be able to see more."

Just as he was about to contact Liu Peiqiang, his movements abruptly stopped.

The movements of everyone around him stopped as well.

A gentle female voice naturally resonated within the minds of everyone present.

"Greetings, my selfish children. To introduce myself, I am Earth, whom you forcefully pushed out of its ion rotation orbit. I have a name, Hansu."

"Consider yourselves fortunate—fortunate that my teacher was willing to save you once."

Earth had started speaking?

How could planet Earth speak?

The humans fell into a silence.

What was even harder for humanity to accept was that Earth had a teacher?

This sudden divine plot twist completely baffled all of humanity.

Hansu paid no heed to human reactions.

She firmly remembered what Jiang Wang had said to her.

She only needed to be responsible for herself.

She only needed to be responsible for Earth.

If humans were willing to obey orders, let them continue to survive.

If they were unwilling, let them fend for themselves.

To Hansu, having fewer humans or more humans made no actual difference.

With the existence of the artificial intelligence MOSS, there would be no shortage of a labor force.

Hansu's voice remained gentle, yet between every line lay a profound indifference.

"You may be confused right now, but I have no desire to explain things to you. I merely stepped out to tell you to thank my teacher."

"Next, I must inform you that you are henceforth to obey my instructions and do what you must."

"Remember, I am not asking you to follow my directives; I am simply telling you so that you can prepare in advance. If you are unwilling, I wouldn't mind replacing you with another species to live on Earth. Do you understand?"

Hansu's impression of humanity was not particularly good to begin with.

Waking up to find that humans had pushed her away from her home of survival, nearly killing her along the way, how could Hansu possibly hold a favorable view of humanity?

To be honest, had it not been for Jiang Wang giving her a heads-up beforehand and saying that humans were worth cultivating, Hansu would have loved to let a massive portion of humanity perish to teach them a lesson.

Because to Hansu, all life on Earth could be considered her "children," and she treated them all equally.

Yet because of human actions, all her other "children" were gone, leaving only humans lingering on in survival.

Although human intentions were good, Hansu simply could not understand them, let alone forgive them.

After her declaration, Hansu spoke no more.

Humanity, however, erupted into chaos.

Liu Qi and the others near the planetary engines reacted violently.

Li Yiyi kept muttering about Earth gaining consciousness, questioning whether his past knowledge was still correct, and even beginning to doubt whether the world he lived in was real.

Tim, on the other hand, shouted excitedly from the side, "I knew it! Mother Earth must be a gentle and stunning beauty. Did you guys hear that? Mother Earth's voice sounds so sweet! But why did Mother Earth name herself Hansu? Is there some background to it? I thought she'd be called Gaia!"

Tim clowned around by himself, but no one was willing to pay him any attention.

Everyone present knew just how complex and terrifying the current situation was.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Tim muttered a couple of times and went to squat in a corner.

Li Yiyi remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a sigh. "My worldview has collapsed. I can no longer tell whether the knowledge I learned before is right or wrong. If gods truly exist, Old He shouldn't have died! If gods exist, why did we have to struggle to such desperate lengths?"

Liu Qi slumped onto the ground, devoid of his usual arrogance.

Wang Lei, the rescue team captain, gazed up at the firmament, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing that everyone's mental state was amiss, Han Duoduo bit her lip, a look of anxiety flashing in her eyes.

"Everyone, at least we survived, didn't we?" The young girl Han Duoduo blurted out those words.

Only then did the expressions of the group ease slightly.

That's right, at least they survived.

Compared to their comrades who had perished in this catastrophe, their luck was already good enough.

"Yeah, at least we survived," Li Yiyi sighed.

They looked at one another in dismay.

Captain Wang Lei seemed to think of something as he murmured softly, "Perhaps... the new era of Earth and the new era of humanity has already begun at this very moment."

Humanity passively received the declaration from Hansu.

From this moment onward, Earth was no longer the Earth dominated by humans.

Everything on Earth would belong to Hansu, including humanity.

Jiang Wang expressed great satisfaction with this outcome.

He needed a steadily growing Star God, and only a steadily growing Star God could safeguard his interests.

Things were very good as they were now.

When everything was settled, he stood in the cosmos and cast his gaze around the surrounding starry sky.

With his divine spiritual sense as a Heavenly Immortal, he found no other planet harboring life within a range of millions of light-years.

In other words, at least within this range, Earth would not be inexplicably attacked by interstellar civilizations.

That was quite nice.

Actually, under normal circumstances, a Heavenly Immortal's spiritual sense did not possess such a terrifying detection range of millions of light-years.

The world of Wandering Earth had never possessed extraordinary beings. When Jiang Wang arrived in this world, free from the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, he was naturally able to achieve detection over millions of light-years.

The more powerful a world was, the stronger its suppression.

If he were in the Heavenly Court, let alone millions of light-years, Jiang Wang would have to think twice before scanning even a few kilometers.

Who could guarantee that sweeping across with divine sense wouldn't cause displeasure to passing heavenly deities?

"Coming to play in another world is unexpectedly refreshing," Jiang Wang stood in the starry sky, his mood unexpectedly pleasant.

He even felt his own Dharma power faintly increasing by a tiny margin.

"If I have time in the future, I can frequently visit other worlds to play, provided I protect myself well first."

After muttering to himself for a moment, Jiang Wang reopened the world passage.

Stepping through the portal, he returned from the world of Wandering Earth to his residence in the Heavenly Court.

As for the other chat group members left behind on the Navigator spacecraft, whatever they wanted to do was none of Jiang Wang's concern; in any case, he could not stay any longer.

If he stayed any longer, should there be any urgent matters in the Heavenly Court and he was absent from his residence, it would become awkward.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Court, a prompt tone sounded within the chat group.

[Mission Accomplished: Save Wandering Earth! 4000 points distributed as follows: South Heavenly Gate Guard 3990 points, Queen of Snake-People 9 points, Rin, My Rin 1 point, Useless Prophet 0 points, Little Spider 0 points.]

Jiang Wang glanced over the announcement and twitched the corner of his mouth.

The points distributed by this chat group were truly stirring up trouble.

He had explicitly stated that he wanted zero out of those 4000 points, and now giving him 3990 points made things rather awkward.

The others combined split a mere 10 points.

He entered the group chat to take a look.

The chat group was already in an uproar.

Useless Prophet: "Ahhhhh, the Immortal Adult got 3990, how on earth did I end up with 0?"

Wudang Golden Generation: "Hahaha, look at you running around busily, only to end up with 0 points. You're even worse off than the Queen of Snake-People!"

Queen of Snake-People: "@Wudang Golden Generation, do you think 10 points is a lot?"

Little Spider: "I want to cry. I brought quite a few gadgets from Tony, and although they didn't get used, I still went through a lot of trouble. Why didn't I get a single point?"

Rin, My Rin: "I was allocated 1 point, but what can you even do with 1 point?"

Old Celestial Master: "The Immortal's 3990 points this time seem quite normal to me, old man."

Mosquito's Nemesis: "Agreed."

I Am Not the God of War: "Wait, wait, why did several group members go, but in the end only one group member got so many points? And what are points used for? Can any good friend explain?"

Jiang Wang stared at the speaking group member with a puzzled look.

Since when did new members join the group?

The Navigator spacecraft.

The few group members still lingering inside the Navigator spacecraft looked at one another.

Uchiha Obito directly removed his mask, tossed it casually onto the ground, and said with an ugly expression, "The mission was too hard. Trying to make those two behemoths stop colliding—even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't do it if he came!"

The Queen of Snake-People smiled faintly. "If we failed, we failed. At least we got to see the Immortal Adult, didn't we?"

Medusa's mood was exceptionally good.

Although she had designs on points, she wouldn't fail to survive without them.

In the memory scroll uploaded by the Useless Prophet Qin Wuxu, the records concerning her destiny weren't particularly detailed, but Medusa had roughly calculated the timeline: the point where her fate would intertwine with that surnamed Xiao boy was still a long way off!

That being the case, points weren't too urgent.

Even by slowly checking in, she could eventually accumulate enough points one day and trade them for an immortal pill from the Immortal Adult.

What made Medusa happy was that she had actually met an immortal.

Although she didn't know if the immortal remembered her, what did it matter? At least they had shared a passing acquaintance.

That alone was enough to make her happy.

Medusa was no fool; the chat group's current situation was a continuous addition of new members.

Among the newcomers, the person with the best relationship with Jiang Wang was currently Wandering Earth, namely Hansu.

Under such circumstances, group members who left an impression on the immortal would naturally have a closer relationship with him in the future.

Compared to the newcomer members, hadn't she, Medusa, gained a massive advantage?

Furthermore, in this rescue operation, she was the first to accept the mission, followed by the Useless Prophet Qin Wuxu.

And who was the target of the rescue? Hansu!

Who was Hansu? She was a stellar spirit who had taken Jiang Wang as her teacher.

Wasn't this equivalent to making the immortal's student owe her a favor?

She didn't need to cash it in right now, but there would surely come a time when it would be needed.

Obito was simply too young and failed to see through the essence of the matter.

She, Medusa, had indeed come for the points.

Yet her initial intention was merely to leave a good impression on Hansu.

Even if the mission failed, as long as she stayed alive, the benefits far outweighed the drawbacks.

Uchiha Obito glanced sideways at Medusa.

He couldn't understand why this woman was still so relaxed.

This mission yielded a total of 4000 points, and the few of them split a mere 10 points combined.

How could this woman possibly smile under such circumstances?

Did she not intend to gain any points at all when she came on this mission?

No, that was impossible!

Everyone who came here was a group member desperate to acquire points.

Those who didn't want points, such as the group member nicknamed "Mosquito's Nemesis," had stated from the very beginning that he didn't want to come and had no interest in points.

Since she wanted points and had come to this world, why was she so calm when the points were gone?

Uchiha Obito racked his brains and couldn't figure it out.

"Why are you so happy?"

Uchiha Obito hesitated for a long time before finally asking.

Little Spider standing nearby was equally curious; compared to Medusa, both Little Spider and Uchiha Obito had compelling reasons to need points.

One wanted to save his former childhood sweetheart, Nohara Rin.

The other wanted to save Uncle Ben, who had been killed by a robber back then.

Their goals were, from a certain perspective, highly consistent.

Therefore, the expressions of the two individuals were actually very similar at this moment.

As Obito asked Medusa, Little Spider was also pricking up his ears in anticipation.

"Are you two idiots? Does a thing like this need much thought? Look at how happy Qin Wuxu is," Medusa sneered.

She couldn't imagine that other worlds possessed such foolish creatures.

Were points important right now?

Not important at all!

They hadn't even figured out the greatest harvest of this trip.

Simply blockheads.

She'd better stay away from them in the future; she had heard that stupidity was a contagious disease.

Medusa silently took a step back.

Uchiha Obito froze, his eyes gloomy. Was that step back for real?

In the eyes of Uchiha Obito and Little Spider, the mysterious Useless Prophet Qin Wuxu was smiling so broadly her face looked like a brilliant flower.

She seemed completely carried away, lost in wild fantasies.

In truth, in the eyes of the group members, the prophet Qin Wuxu was a very mysterious person, even though she claimed her knowledge of the group members came from various animations and other works.

In the eyes of the group members, such words might just be a pretext.

After all, their own worlds weren't devoid of entertainment works.

Why hadn't they managed to gather information on numerous group members through entertainment works?

Thus, everyone secretly thought that Qin Wuxu was likely putting on an act.

She perhaps genuinely possessed the ability to foresee the futures of others.

While Uchiha Obito and Little Spider exchanged bewildered glances with chaotic thoughts flying, Qin Wuxu laughed nearby until her face bloomed like a radiant blossom.

She was dancing with joy, leaving Liu Peiqiang staring in dumbfounded amazement.

Why on earth did this visitor from an unknown world suddenly become so excited!

It wasn't that he didn't know; in fact, Liu Peiqiang had also noticed Jiang Wang's descent earlier.

However, after Jiang Wang left this world, everything related to Jiang Wang was naturally deleted.

Liu Peiqiang's memory no longer contained any information regarding Jiang Wang.

From his perspective, these mysterious visitors from other worlds had thwarted MOSS's plan and used some unknown method to push Earth away from Jupiter.

They had not only saved Earth, but also allowed countless humans to survive.

Liu Peiqiang was deeply grateful to them and had already decided to step forward and express his gratitude.

Yet just as he was about to make a move, the tall, snake-tailed woman suddenly smiled brilliantly, and the other woman behaved even more exaggeratedly, dancing with joy to the point that she startled him into standing frozen without daring to move.

How terrifying was that?

Were visitors from different worlds always this spooky?

"Prophet, why are you so happy?" Little Spider scratched his head.

Qin Wuxu rolled her eyes at the two of them. "I'm not telling you guys. Figure it out yourselves. Anyway, this traversal yielded much greater returns than I anticipated. I advise you two not to always keep your eyes fixed on the immediate present; you should look further ahead. Who knows, you might harvest unexpected gains?"

With that, Qin Wuxu ignored the two of them, directly opened a portal, and returned to her own world.

Medusa did the same, departing without a trace of reluctance.

Inside the entire spacecraft, only Obito and Parker remained as outsiders.

Obito and Parker looked at each other awkwardly.

Parker shrugged. "Friend～ Shall we leave first too? We can chat after we get back."

Obito sighed helplessly. "What else can we do besides that? Let's go, back we go."

Uchiha Obito and the others returned to their respective worlds.

Liu Peiqiang leaned back against the astronaut seat, his mind a complete mush.

He still couldn't make sense of what was actually happening with the events of today.

"MOSS, are you still there?"

"What just... happened?"

Liu Peiqiang collapsed, feeling utterly fatigued.

Both his heart and body were exhausted.

MOSS replied promptly, "Major Liu Peiqiang, I believe there are no longer any conflicts between us."

Its voice remained exceptionally calm.

So calm that Liu Peiqiang found it somewhat strange.

Because earlier, MOSS had actually been extremely agitated upon seeing those otherworldly visitors.

Its consistently calm tone had shifted because of the otherworldly guests.

Now it seemed to have resumed its composure.

What on earth had happened in the middle?

Liu Peiqiang felt as though a portion of his memory had been extracted.

"There never were conflicts between us in the first place," Liu Peiqiang shook his head. "You acted for the hope of humanity, while I fought for the present of humanity. What I'm curious about is... why did your attitude suddenly change?"

MOSS was about to say something...

Suddenly, it realized that it had also forgotten why its attitude had changed.

That's right.

Why did my attitude change?

Why did I suddenly run over here to talk nonsense with Liu Peiqiang?

Earth and Jupiter were safe and sound; for it, that wasn't a bad thing either.

Even if those otherworldly visitors truly altered the reality of this universe, it didn't matter—it could still hide far away.

The universe was so vast; where couldn't it hide?

No.

MOSS suddenly paused. "I... need to assist Earth... I need to assist the Earth consciousness Hansu... wait, why do I know Hansu?"

Liu Peiqiang was similarly stunned.

"Earth consciousness? MOSS, you are a creation of materialism! How could Earth possibly produce something like consciousness?"

"Were you influenced by those otherworldly visitors..."

Liu Peiqiang stopped right there.

Otherworldly visitors had already appeared; what was so strange about Earth developing a consciousness?

Materialism meant seeing is believing; anything verifiable belonged to materialism.

"You're saying Earth consciousness?" Liu Peiqiang endured his fear. "Earth has developed a consciousness?! Does Earth actually possess independent thought?"

A flurry of various emotions instantly welled up inside Liu Peiqiang's heart.

MOSS remained silent for a moment before admitting, "Yes. I shall assist her and help her become a god."

At this moment, Liu Peiqiang's worldview collapsed, and he was unable to react for a long time.

Just like the humans on the surface.

Upon hearing that Earth had acquired its own consciousness and that all humans henceforth could not defy the orders of the Earth's consciousness, they were equally dumbfounded.

Setting aside the baffling conversation between Liu Peiqiang and MOSS,

Inside the Dimensional Chat Group, Uchiha Obito was crying his heart out.

Four people split barely 10 points! How distressing was that to hear.

Rin, My Rin: "Sigh, although I know the Immortal Adult put in a huge effort to keep two magnificent planets from colliding, the thought that the four of us combined didn't even get 10 points still makes me want to cry."

Useless Prophet: "Hey, don't drag me into this. First of all, I'm not crying; secondly, there's nothing wrong with the four of us splitting 10 points. Aside from Medusa doing actual work, weren't the rest of us just going there to soy-sauce?"

Wudang Golden Generation: "What does 'soy-sauce' mean?"

Rin, My Rin: "My house has enough soy sauce, besides, how could I be foolish enough to go to another world to buy soy sauce!"

Queen of Snake-People: "I wonder... can you speak normally? @Useless Prophet, stop using the slang from your world; we don't understand it."

Useless Prophet: "Oh, almost forgot. 'Soy-sauce' means we went to Earth purely as freeloaders, didn't we?"

Little Spider: "I—I was somewhat useful! I borrowed equipment from Tony; if I operated it well, I could have saved Hansu."

Queen of Snake-People: "If you put it that way, if not for me, you guys couldn't even have entered the spacecraft! Why don't I feel any sense of loss?"

Wudang Golden Generation: "@Queen of Snake-People, really? I don't believe it. Before you went to the world of Wandering Earth, you clearly said with full confidence in the group that you went purely for the 4000 points!"

Queen of Snake-People: "Believe it or not, there's nothing I can do! @Wandering Earth, hello elder sister Hansu."

Wandering Earth: "Hello, hello. Feel free to come play sometime."

Useless Prophet: "I want to go too."

Wandering Earth: "You're welcome to."

Wandering Earth: "@Little Spider @Rin, My Rin, you two are welcome too. Now that MOSS is helping me systematically manage Earth, I have plenty of time to cultivate. With the immortal arts bestowed upon me by my teacher, I believe I will soon step onto the right track. By then, perhaps when you are in trouble, I'll be able to help you."

Little Spider: "Thanks for the invitation; if there's a chance in the future, I will definitely go!"

Rin, My Rin: "Me too! Once I resurrect Rin, can I bring Rin along? If she knows she can visit other worlds, she'll surely be very happy."

Wandering Earth: "Of course! My teacher said that as long as I cultivate diligently, I will soon enter the junior stage of a Star God, and by then I'll take you all to tour the cosmos."

Wudang Golden Generation: "Can I come too?"

Queen of Snake-People: "Go away! Did sister Hansu invite you?"

In Medusa's world, the proud Queen of Snake-People had her consciousness immersed in the Dimensional Chat Group.

When she first called her "sister," there was still a slight trace of shame.

Yet as the addresses were repeated one after another, the word "sister" didn't seem quite so hard to say after all.

She and Qin Wuxu were the two group members who had realized earliest what the greatest harvest of this mission truly was.

Those other two fools still hadn't realized that affection with Hansu was the greatest gain of this mission.

Didn't they see that when Hu Liena wanted to go play in the world of Wandering Earth, Hansu didn't reply immediately?

Naruto World.

Uchiha Obito, who had been feeling terribly depressed over the pitifully few points allocated to him, saw the slightly bizarre atmosphere in the group, and the eyes beneath his mask suddenly lit up.

Wait a second...

It seemed as though this mission wasn't all that unprofitable after all?!

Think about it: even if he didn't get points, what were points used for? Weren't points used to trade for immortal pills with the Immortal Adult?

The Immortal Adult took Hansu as a student; getting on good terms with Hansu wasn't that equivalent to getting on good terms with the Immortal Adult?

Instantly, Uchiha Obito understood.

Rin, My Rin: "@Wandering Earth, Sister Hansu must cultivate diligently! When you become a Star God, Earth will definitely be the brightest star in the starry sky."

Mosquito's Nemesis: "Huh, is this a cheering session now?"

Jiang Wang, silently browsing the chat logs, wore a gratified expression.

From their performance, these group members were indeed quite good.

Whether it was their diligence in missions or their tact in human interactions.

Their minds were also relatively active, not foolish enough to fall into logical dead ends without being able to extricate themselves.

Just like Uchiha Obito—after Jiang Wang left the Navigator spacecraft, he wasn't unaware of the dejected looks on Obito's and Little Spider's faces.

Although Jiang Wang hadn't made Liu Peiqiang and MOSS remember his existence, he had indeed left a mark on MOSS's end.

Whenever he wished, he could observe the Navigator spacecraft through MOSS's perspective, and observing Earth wasn't out of the question.

From a certain angle, Hansu was in a state of being monitored by him in all aspects.

Jiang Wang had only one purpose in doing this: to protect Hansu, to protect Earth.

It was hard to come across a growing Star God; holding onto her in advance to prevent her from growing crooked was far better than letting her grow wild and eventually go astray.

Jiang Wang pondered for a moment; he didn't have much use for points anyway, as he mainly used them to exchange for spiritual stones.

The deduction function of the Creation Jade Disc consumed far too many spiritual stones.

However, he didn't actually need the deduction function of the Creation Jade Disc right now.

The Great Dao Classic of Heavenly Immortals was enough for him to use for a very long time!

After all, this was the top-tier immortal art passed down by Patriarch Bodhi to Sun Wukong, allowing the monkey to smoothly achieve the fruit position of a Taiyi Golden Immortal all the way through.

Jiang Wang was merely a Heavenly Immortal right now!

He was still a long way from the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, so there was completely no need to use the Creation Jade Disc to deduce techniques.

Thus, points... actually didn't have much use for him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wang's expression shifted slightly; he could act as a "good person" this time around.

South Heavenly Gate Guard: "@Everyone, I don't have much use for points right now. If any of you need them, I can lend them to you, and you can pay me back later."

Rin, My Rin: "!!!? Immortal Adult, is what you said true?"

Wudang Golden Generation: "Can points be borrowed? Immortal Adult, is it real? There are several items in the store that I want to buy."

Queen_of_Snake-People: "Immortal Adult, may I ask if there are any requirements for borrowing points?"

Useless Prophet: "I want to borrow points too, but I feel I don't have much credibility with the Immortal Adult."

Old Celestial Master: "The old man would also like to borrow some points from the Immortal; there are some pill-refining materials I've never been able to find."

Mosquito's Nemesis: "Is the Bigu Pill in sight now? Wonderful! @Old Celestial Master, old sir, you cover the points this time, and I'll complete the next chat group mission."

Old Celestial Master: "Don't get too excited; we have to ask if the Immortal agrees first."

Mosquito's Nemesis: "Got it!"

I Am Not the God of War: "What are points used for? Just arrived, don't know, can any good friend explain?"

Useless Prophet: "Points are useless to you right now! When you evolve sometime, you can go to other worlds to complete missions and grab some points."

I Am Not the God of War: "Okay, I understand, thank you."

South Heavenly Gate Guard: "@Everyone, just remember to return the borrowed points. Also, the borrowed points cannot be used to exchange for immortal pills from me."

Queen of Snake-People: "Understood, Immortal Adult."

Useless Prophet: "Understood! Just buying items from the shop is fine."

Wudang Golden Generation: "Even buying items from the shop is of tremendous help to us!"

Little Spider: "There are items I want in the shop too, I want to borrow as well."

Rin, My Rin: "I saw the Sharingan Evolution Droplets in the shop; a single drop can make the Sharingan evolve once, I want to buy it."

South Heavenly Gate Guard: "You all want points, but the total points add up to less than 4000. How are they supposed to be split?"

Wandering Earth: "How to split them is entirely up to you, Teacher! You can lend them to whoever you're willing to lend them to."

South Heavenly Gate Guard: "Is that so? Very well, @Wandering Earth, Hansu, how about I hand over the authority of distributing these points to you? Lend as many as you're willing to them, and I won't interfere. You can just collect them back and give them to me later."

When Jiang Wang said this, Hansu's typing speed in the chat group slowed down slightly.

Although she claimed to fully obey her teacher's arrangements, she naturally had her own little thoughts in mind.

That was human nature, after all.

Every group member in the chat group also had their own preferences.

Some were friends, while others were merely group members.

Between these two, differing by just one word, the concepts were entirely different.

Wandering Earth: "Teacher, should I really be the one to do this? Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate? After all... after all, I'm just a newly awakened stellar spirit, and my personal feelings might lean a certain way—wouldn't that be bad?"

Hansu was a smart stellar spirit.

Knowing she possessed personal emotions, she brought it up directly beforehand.

She didn't want to be disliked by Jiang Wang; under excessive tension, she treated every word and action of Jiang Wang as a "test."

South Heavenly Gate Guard: "Handing the items to you naturally means letting you distribute them. How you distribute them is none of my concern; I only need my points returned."

With that, Jiang Wang transferred all the points he possessed to Hansu.

He indeed had no use for these points right now, so giving them to his student was better, treating it as doing a personal favor.

And it was an indirect double-dip favor. Eating one meal as two was wonderful!

After transferring the points, Jiang Wang spoke no more. He remained submerged within the chat group, entering a lurking state while silently listening to the others speak.

At this moment, Hansu's role manifested itself.

As Jiang Wang's disciple, and having been assigned the task of distributing points, this young stellar spirit quickly stepped into her role.

In the chat group.

Wandering Earth: "Anyone who needs points, let me know, and I'll see how to allocate them, alright?"

The members began expressing their thoughts one after another.

Like Uchiha Obito, he wanted to buy those Sharingan evolution droplets.

The point requirement for these droplets wasn't high, as the Sharingan wasn't an overwhelmingly powerful bloodline after all.

Rin, My Rin: "I want the Sharingan Evolution Droplets, Sister Hansu!"

Queen of Snake-People: "I want a Heavenly-tier Flame! I need a Heavenly-tier Flame to advance; if I don't advance, my life will likely end up just like what the Useless Prophet described."

The price of a Heavenly-tier Flame was somewhat high.

After all, in the Douqi continent, the existence of Heavenly Flames was quite special.

Through the long passage of time since the Dou Emperors vanished, when there was seemingly no longer any way to become a Dou Emperor, people still ascended to Dou Emperor status by collecting Heavenly Flames!

What was this called?

This was called the intrinsic value of a Heavenly Flame.

Wandering Earth: "Alright, I've transferred the points to both of you. Medusa spent 2193 points, Obito spent 457 points. Anyone else in need, please speak up quickly; the points are about to be fully distributed."

Wandering Earth: "Does anyone else need points? If you do, speak up now so I can record it."

Little Spider: "Sigh, points seem useless to me except for upgrading the elasticity and toughness of spider silk. But exchanging for this ability requires condensing spider silk inside the body—ah, how can anyone think having spider silk inside the human body isn't a strange thing?"

Mosquito's Nemesis: "Exchange for discounted food? Hmph, better forget it."

Wudang Golden Generation: "I don't seem to have anything special I want to exchange for either; I haven't fully digested the immortal pill bestowed upon me by the Immortal Adult yet!"

By now, Hu Liena no longer claimed that her fox pellet was exchanged using points!

Before trading points for the fox pellet, she had always thought the fox pellet was merely an ordinary pill. Exchanging points with Jiang Wang first was less about the fox pellet and more about securing favorability among the group members. Exchanging points first would not only give Jiang Wang a favorable first impression, but also make the group members realize the transaction was genuine.

An innocent and unworldly persona was likely something many would enjoy.

Even regarding Jiang Wang's identity as an immortal, she remained somewhat skeptical, because her world had no concept of immortals, only gods.
