My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

The atmosphere in Class 7 of Senior Three was equally lively.

"Holy crap! Did you guys see the trending topics?! Meng Chuan is in the top ten all over the place!!"

A boy, holding up his phone, was flushed with excitement. "But Meng Chuan was really too strong! A peak Taiyi cultivator! One of the three strongest beings on Earth! And he just killed him like that!"

"I saw it! I was refreshing the whole time! When that light appeared, I was completely stunned!"

"I heard that all the powerful beings from the Immortal Realm in the Lighthouse Country and the Cherry Blossom Country have been killed! Not a single one was spared!"

"That's too ruthless... But considering they provoked Meng Chuan first, I can only say they deserved it!"

"Meng Chuan is a hero of Great Xia now! From now on, I can proudly say when I go out, 'Meng Chuan is my classmate!'"

"What are you so smug about? How many words have you even exchanged with Meng Chuan?"

"Uh... I don't think we've said more than a few words..."

The classroom was filled with laughter.

Xiao Yan sat by the window, holding his phone, his gaze complex.

"This guy is really unexpected."

Xiao Yan put down his phone, leaned back in his chair, stared at the ceiling, and muttered to himself, "Returning from the primordial world, becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal, instantly killing a peak Taiyi cultivator, and plunging two countries into panic with a single sentence..."

"Why do I feel like the gap between us and him is widening?"

Hearing this, Luo Feng, who was sitting behind him, reached out and patted his shoulder: "Don't think about it. Some people are born to create miracles. We're already very lucky to have been classmates with him in the place where miracles happen."

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly: "That makes sense."

Chen Beixuan sat silently in the front row against the wall.

He did not participate in the students' discussion, nor did he look at his phone.

He just stared out the window, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

He recalled the words he had spoken upon returning to Earth: "From this day forward, in Cloud City, the Chen family shall be the most respected!"

I felt utterly ashamed!

"Meng Chuan..."

He murmured the name, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

There was resentment, envy, admiration, and also a sense of... relief.

"It turns out that the differences between people can really be this great."

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, then looked away and returned his gaze to the blackboard.

He decided to stop competing with Meng Chuan.

No comparison!

What he needs to think about is how to make himself stronger...

Instead of trying to catch up with someone you can't catch up with at all!

……

Meng Family Manor.

Meng Chuan sat in a wicker chair in the backyard, slowly sipping a cup of tea.

His parents have returned safely to the estate.

Just now, he used his divine sense to locate his parents and, with an invisible force, crossed the ocean to bring them directly from Japan back to the Meng family manor.

The entire process takes no more than three seconds.

Wang Xiulan was still a little dazed when she landed.

She stood on the lawn of the manor, looking at everything familiar before her, and remained stunned for several seconds before she realized that she was really back.

"Ogawa..."

She turned to look at her son, her eyes slightly red. "Have I caused you any trouble?"

Meng Chuan put down his teacup, stood up, walked to his mother, and gently took her hand: "No. It's me who has dragged you down."

Wang Xiulan shook her head.

She was just an ordinary woman who had spent most of her life running a small convenience store, and her biggest wish was to watch her two children grow up.

She never imagined that one day she would become a bargaining chip for others to threaten her son.

She remained silent for a long time, then said softly, "From now on, Mom won't go out anymore. It's fine for her to stay at home."

Meng Chuan looked at his mother, said nothing, and simply nodded.

Meng Shanhe stood to the side, silent for a moment, then reached out and patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder: "You did a great job!"

These five words represent the greatest recognition a father can give to his son!

Standing on the second-floor balcony, Meng Xiaoyu watched her parents return safely and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She ran down from the balcony, rushed to her parents, and hugged Wang Xiulan tightly: "Mom! You scared me to death!"

Wang Xiulan gently patted her daughter's back, her voice choked with emotion: "It's alright, it's alright... Mom's back."

Meng Xiaoyu hugged him for a while before letting go, wiping away her tears. Then she turned to Meng Chuan and said earnestly, "Brother, I will work hard to cultivate! I want to become as strong as you! From now on, I will protect Mom and Dad!"

Seeing her serious expression, Meng Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for that day."

……

In the days that followed, Meng Chuan continued to guide his younger sister in her cultivation.

Although Meng Xiaoyu's talent wasn't top-notch, Meng Chuan had access to an abundance of resources.

He fed her elixirs like food and pills like candy, and casually tossed her cultivation techniques and insights for her to study.

Furthermore, with Meng Chuan personally helping her to regulate her meridians and guide the flow of spiritual energy, her cultivation level increased at a visible rate.

Early stage of Celestial Immortal, Middle stage of Celestial Immortal, Late stage of Celestial Immortal...

In just ten months, she broke through from the peak of Earth Immortal to the peak of Heaven Immortal!

He's only one step away from the early stage of True Immortal!

Meng Chuan was fairly satisfied with the progress.

"At your cultivation speed... you have a good chance of advancing to True Immortal before entering the Primordial World."

Hearing this, Meng Xiaoyu felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation: "Brother, is the Primordial World... really as dangerous as you say?"

"Danger!"

Meng Chuan looked at her earnestly, "But it's also full of opportunities. As long as you're careful and don't wander off, with your sister Houtu taking care of you, you'll be fine."

Meng Xiaoyu nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand... I'll be careful!"

Time passed day by day.

The online buzz gradually subsided after lasting for more than half a year.

New hot topics continue to emerge, and although Meng Chuan's name is still mentioned occasionally, it's no longer as ubiquitous as it was at the beginning...

September is almost here again.

September 1st, departure day.

September 2nd, Return Day.

Everyone is looking forward to these two days.

Some people are wondering how many will choose the world of immortals and demons this year on the day of departure.

Some people want to know how many people returned to immortality on the day of their return last year, and how many remained forever in the realms of immortals and demons.

Some people also wonder what kind of fate awaits those who leave the United States and Japan, and return as immortals.

After all, Meng Chuan once said:

"From this day forward, the lands of Lighthouse and Cherry Blossoms—will forever be without immortals!"

This statement is like a sword hanging over the heads of both countries, ready to fall at any moment!

In late August, there were less than ten days left until departure.

Meng Xiaoyu finally broke through the last bottleneck and stepped into the early stage of True Immortal!

She stood in the open space in the backyard of the manor, feeling the surging power within her, her face flushed with excitement.

"Brother! I've broken through! I've become a true immortal!"

Meng Chuan sat in the wicker chair, watching her excited expression, and smiled: "Not bad. A little faster than I expected."

Meng Xiaoyu ran up to him, her eyes sparkling: "Brother, am I considered an expert now?"

"On Earth, I'd say it barely qualifies."

Meng Chuan looked at her, "But in the primordial world, true immortals are like ants among ants!"

Meng Xiaoyu paused for a moment, then nodded seriously: "I understand... I won't be arrogant!"

Meng Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

He thought for a moment, then picked up his phone and dialed Lin Lei's number.

"There's something I'd like to ask you."

Lin Lei's voice immediately came through: "Mr. Meng, please speak. I will do my best to help!"

"I need a cross-dimensional teleportation stone."

Meng Chuan asked casually, "Like the kind on the playground of Yuncheng No. 2 Middle School... could you get me one?"

He planned to have his sister take a cross-dimensional teleportation stone into the prehistoric world and give it to Houtu, so that she could study it with Dijiang, who was skilled in the laws of space, and Zhujiuyin, who was skilled in the laws of time.
