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

Meng Chuan was unaware of what had happened in the prehistoric world, let alone that his sister, more than a hundred years after entering, had witnessed the three Heavenly Dao Saints descending upon the ancestral land of the Witch Clan to seek revenge on him.

But he knew his sister was safe.

As long as the younger sister goes inside and crushes the bone fragment, Houtu will arrive immediately.

With Houtu around, though the primordial world is vast, only a handful of people can harm her!

After my younger sister went into the wilderness, life suddenly became much more leisurely.

Meng Chuan sat in a wicker chair in the backyard of the manor, holding a cup of tea in his hand, gazing at the slowly drifting clouds in the sky, his thoughts wandering far away.

"Outside the heavens...outside the Milky Way...are there many Great Luo Immortals?"

He muttered to himself, "I wonder if there are any quasi-saints, or even saints..."

He was a little curious.

"Let's go out for a walk after Xiaoyu comes back."

He put down his teacup and made a decision.

There's no rush.

We've survived 75,000 years of the primordial era, what's one more year?

"I wonder... if she and her brothers have discovered anything about that interdimensional teleportation stone..."

"Hopefully there will be good news."

……

After Meng Chuan had some free time, he thought of two people.

Xiao Yan!

Luo Feng!

Besides his former deskmate Li Qiuyue, who was forever stuck in the world of martial arts, the only other people he was close to in his class were these two.

He thought for a moment, then casually rummaged through his storage treasures and took out some rare and precious herbs and pills to aid in cultivation. He also found two cultivation techniques suitable for their physiques and had them delivered to them.

There weren't many items, and they weren't particularly valuable—at least that's how he saw it.

But for Xiao Yan and Luo Feng, this was like a windfall!

When Xiao Yan received the item, he was completely stunned.

His hands were trembling: "This...this is for me?"

The person who delivered the gift nodded: "Mr. Meng said that you and Mr. Luo Feng are his former classmates and friends. This is just a small token of his appreciation. Please accept it."

Xiao Yan stared blankly for a long time, then grinned.

That smile carried a mix of emotion, pride, and relief—a sense of "I knew I hadn't misjudged him."

Luo Feng's reaction was much calmer.

He took the item, glanced at it, nodded, said "Thank him for me," and then put it away.

But that very night, he took the elixir and began his seclusion.

For nearly a year, bored Meng Chuan would often have someone pick them up from their university to catch up.

With Meng Chuan's help—

Luo Feng broke through from the peak of the Shattered Void, crossed the threshold of Earth Immortal, and reached the peak of Earth Immortal!

Xiao Yan was a little slower, but he also stepped into the mid-stage of Earth Immortal!

On this day, the two had a friendly sparring match at the Meng family manor.

The result was that Xiao Yan was pinned to the ground and humiliated by Luo Feng...

When Chen Beixuan, a university student in Shanghai, learned from Xiao Yan that Luo Feng had reached the peak of the Earth Immortal realm and had caught up with his cultivation, he remained silent for a long time.

Then, he took the initiative to return to Yuncheng, approached Luo Feng, and proposed a sparring match.

Luo Feng glanced at him but did not refuse.

The two found an open space outside Yuncheng and fought!

Given that they were at the same cultivation level, Chen Beixuan originally thought that with his foundation from the Taiyi lineage and over a hundred years of experience in the world of high immortals, he would be able to easily overpower Luo Feng!

But after actually fighting him, he realized—

Luo Feng also cultivates both physical body and primordial spirit, and his physical body is even stronger than Luo Feng's!

In addition, his combat experience is in no way inferior to his!

The skills honed in life-and-death battles in the interstellar high-martial-arts world, and the almost instinctive sense of fighter jets, made it extremely difficult for Chen Beixuan to fight.

In the end, he had to take out that top-grade immortal artifact longsword to slightly outmaneuver Luo Feng!

Chen Beixuan sheathed his sword and stood there, his face calm, but his heart was filled with bitterness.

Luo Feng only received a little help from Meng Chuan, and in less than a year, he broke through from the peak of the Shattered Void to the peak of the Earth Immortal, standing shoulder to shoulder with him!

What if... what if he had also cultivated a good relationship with Meng Chuan back then?

What if he hadn't been so arrogant and dismissive of that quiet classmate?

Will he be able to receive guidance and help from Meng Chuan today?

Have they already surpassed the level of Celestial Immortal, or even True Immortal?

Chen Beixuan did not voice these thoughts.

He simply sheathed his sword, turned around, and left.

His back view looked somewhat lonely.

……

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

December 2st, early morning.

Yuncheng No. 2 Middle School.

The area outside the iron fence surrounding the playground was once again packed with people.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged under the shade of a tree by the playground, closing his eyes to rest.

He didn't sit in the void, nor did he release any pressure. He was just like an ordinary boy, sitting there waiting to pick up his sister from school.

But no one dared to treat him as an ordinary person.

Parents, teachers, and students passing by would unconsciously avoid the area where he was, and they would lower their voices.

One year ago on this day, the immortals who had returned from the Lighthouse Country and the Cherry Blossom Country were blasted into dust by a stream of light falling from the sky as soon as they came out, which also made them realize that this person always kept his word!

He said that he wanted to ensure that there would be no immortals in either country for eternity, which really meant preventing anyone in either country from becoming an immortal!

Xiao Yan and Luo Feng also arrived.

The two sat down next to Meng Chuan, and Xiao Yan spoke first: "Meng Chuan, tell me... how is Xiao Yu doing over there in the Primordial World?"

Meng Chuan opened his eyes and glanced at him: "It should be good."

"should?"

"Yes. My friend inside will take care of her."

Xiao Yan nodded, then asked, "So what do you think her cultivation level will be when she comes back?"

Meng Chuan thought for a moment: "As for cultivation level... it shouldn't be... lower than mine?"

"Your level of cultivation is no lower than yours?!"

Xiao Yan's voice rose eight octaves, drawing the attention of many people around him.

He quickly lowered his voice, "You're in the late stage of the Great Luo realm, and if her cultivation level isn't lower than yours, wouldn't she be at the peak of the Great Luo realm?!"

Xiao Yan fell silent.

He recalled how, with Meng Chuan's help, he had diligently cultivated for a year before reaching the mid-stage of Earth Immortal.

Meng Chuan's sister went to the prehistoric world for a year and returned as a peak Great Luo Immortal, standing at the top of the pyramid on Earth!

Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable!

Little did he know that when Meng Chuan said his realm was no lower than his, he meant no lower than the late stage of Quasi-Saint, not the late stage of Great Luo!

Luo Feng, who was listening nearby, suddenly asked, "Meng Chuan, what are your plans for the future?"

Meng Chuan glanced at him and remained silent for a moment.

"After Xiaoyu comes back and settles things at home, I plan to go take a trip to outer space..."

"From beyond the heavens?"

"Hmm. It's said that there are quite a few beings at the Great Luo level outside the Milky Way, and possibly even stronger ones. I plan to go and see for myself..."

Luo Feng smiled wryly: "We're still basking in the glory of becoming Earth Immortals, and you're already preparing to head beyond the Milky Way to compete with other Great Luo Immortals..."

Meng Chuan smiled but didn't say anything.

Competing against other Ronaldos?

Do they even deserve it?

As the sun rises, golden sunlight bathes the playground.

A year has passed, and the time to return is just around the corner.
