On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

At this point, Zolinara smiled, a hint of tenderness in her smile.

"All of this is because of you. Without you, there would be no me, and the Titans wouldn't be where they are today."

"Ye Han, I don't know why you don't remember those things from back then, but for me, I've remembered this kindness for a full 100,000 years. Today, I can finally say thank you in person."

Ye Han remained silent for a moment.

Still processing this information, after waiting for 100,000 years...

Ye Han could feel the weight of the obsession and gratitude, but the problem was, he really had no memory of it.

I don't know what role or attitude I should take when communicating with her.

It would be inappropriate to admit it rashly.

Therefore, Ye Han decided to try a compromise. He deliberately released Zolinara's hand and kept a distance: "Your Majesty."

"To be honest, I was injured once before, in the head. After that, many of my memories became incomplete; some were as blurry as if seen through a layer of fog, and some were simply blank."

"What you're talking about sounds like someone else's story to me; I really can't remember it."

Using this excuse to shirk responsibility is just right.

This way, you can avoid talking about the past and completely absolve yourself of any past issues.

Upon hearing this, Zolinara's eyes flickered slightly. Hearing that Ye Han had injured his head, she felt more heartache than anything else.

"No need to apologize. It's okay if you don't remember, I'll remember."

She tilted her head slightly, her long, silvery-white hair gliding over her shoulders with the movement, a few strands falling to her collarbone, making her appear less like a haughty queen and more approachable like a girl next door.

"Also, this title is for outsiders. Between you and me, there's no need for all that formality; just call me Lina."

"Okay," Ye Han replied subconsciously.

Lina said softly, "This is an open space inside the star, with all kinds of resources. You can have whatever you want. If you have family or friends elsewhere, you can bring them here as well. I will arrange the best accommodations and treatment for them. Don't worry, it's very safe here with me."

"Ten thousand years ago you gave me a home, now it's my turn to give you a home."

She said this with utmost seriousness.

After so much time has passed, it's not easy to finally express the feelings that have been accumulating for so many years.

The moment he finished speaking, he felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

"OK."

Lina wasn't annoyed by his taciturn nature. Instead, she chuckled softly and continued to lead Ye Han, showing him everything about Titan.

The two chatted for a while.

Although they were supposed to be chatting, it was mostly Lina talking while Ye Han was listening.

She talked about the evolution of civilization on Titan, how the spark of life gradually gave birth to new people, and the power struggles and rivalries among the three major forces in the chaotic star sea.

And the forces beyond that—the undead.

Ye Han handled the situation very well, occasionally asking a question or two about the details, but never probing too deeply into the subject.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Han had achieved his goal, obtained the Rainbow Stone, and upgraded the talisman. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Ye Han already knew Lina's feelings.

The life-saving grace transformed into a deeper love over tens of thousands of years, a desire to spend the rest of her life with Ye Han.

That's why Ye Han needs more time and space to process the large amount of information he received today.

"Lina, I have some things to take care of back home, so I have to go ahead."

"So soon? I'll send someone to pick you up, and bring your family along too."

"No need, I can go by myself. It would be too much trouble with all the people coming and going."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Lina didn't insist any further. Instead, she took out a small crescent moon pendant, pulled Ye Han's hand over, and placed the pendant in his palm.

"Take this. No matter where you are or what trouble you encounter, crush it, and I'll be there immediately."

Ye Han was somewhat flattered: "Okay."

A flash of white light.

Ye Han's figure appeared in the vast starry sky. Nearby was an unfamiliar star field, and in the distance, a few scattered planets were slowly rotating.

He used the super vision granted by the Pig Talisman to determine the direction, and then flew towards the location of the desolate star.

After the pig talisman was upgraded, its vision improved significantly; previously, the maximum range was only within one hundred kilometers.

It has now broken through the limitations and can extend indefinitely.

It hasn't reached the light-year level yet, but it's at least one percent of that.

After leaving the vicinity of this star system, the speed suddenly slowed down. "Why does it feel like we're escaping..."

Ye Han was fully aware of Lina's intentions.

He is not a cold-blooded or ungrateful person; on the contrary, it is precisely because the other party is so sincere that he dares not be perfunctory.

She waited for him for 100,000 years; he couldn't stay by her side with a belly full of doubts and scheming, that would be unfair to her.

Before he understood these things, Ye Han couldn't accept her love openly.

"Let's hold off for now...it might take some time." He sighed, then activated the rabbit talisman, his speed rapidly increasing in the vacuum.

A flash of white light, and the person vanished into the void.

--------

Desolate star.

Bai Xue and her group received that message after Ye Han's competition ended.

They left the Titan Hotel immediately and returned to the desolate planet.

At this moment, the place was a complete mess.

In outer space, a massive horde of undead was attacking the three women, with explosions echoing everywhere.

A huge one-way barrier sphere appeared in the void.

That was the barrier of snow; under the one-way rule, one could only enter but not leave.

Dia and Lingling stood guard on both sides of the barrier, constantly luring the charging undead into it.

The number of people trapped is accumulating.

Bai Xue's punches and kicks were powerful and unrestrained, each strike precisely forcing the undead back and blasting them into the barrier's range.

The three worked together seamlessly.

After a period of maneuvering, all the undead were trapped within the barrier, with not a single one escaping.

The barrier was densely packed with twisted figures, their roars isolated by the one-way barrier, audible only as a muffled buzzing sound from the outside.

Lingling was slightly out of breath, her little face showing lingering fear: "We're so unlucky, we just got back and this happened so soon."

"Sealing them here isn't a long-term solution. Soon, Sister Baixue's stamina will run out. We need to quickly send them, along with the barrier, into the black hole, otherwise Sister Baixue will only increase her energy expenditure."

Bai Xue nodded slightly.

Maintaining such a large barrier is indeed strenuous. It's fine for a short time, but it won't work in the long run.

It can only last for a few days at most.

Bai Xue said, "I'll manipulate the barrier to shift them to a nearby black hole. Lingling, you and Dia comfort the sheep on the desolate planet. I'll be back soon."

"Okay." The two said in unison.

Just as they were about to trigger the overall displacement of the barrier.

The void cracked open.

The three of them looked up at the same time.

In an instant, I felt a bone-chilling cold seep into my head.

Above the void, a pitch-black crack appeared at some unknown time.

The slit slowly opened, growing larger and larger until it revealed an eye, an eye large enough to rival a small planet.
