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

After Ye Hanyi explained, everyone realized that the situation was serious.

Being targeted by an immortal monster that has roamed the universe for tens of millions of years is more chilling than facing an army of thousands.

Lingling said with a chill, "So, we're already on its death list? Does that mean nowhere in the Chaotic Star Sea is safe? It can send undead here at any time, and there's that big eyeball..."

Dia crossed his arms, his brows furrowed deeply: "The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. The undead are endless; even if we can handle one or two waves, we're no match for them if it's never-ending. What's more, there's that big-eyed monster lurking in the shadows. If we can't move, we're just sitting ducks..."

What they said was not without reason; it was all based on their analysis of the current situation.

That hit the nail on the head.

Bai Xue said, "This will be troublesome from now on. Once Krator sets his sights on us, we won't be safe anywhere in the Chaotic Star Sea."

Changing the subject, Bai Xue had a foolproof plan: "How about we leave the Chaotic Star Sea and go out to lay low for a while?"

"With so many black hole barriers, he probably can't get out, so at least he'll be safe once he gets out."

Lingling cut to the chase: "What are Master's plans?"

Ye Han met the three people's gazes and said without beating around the bush, "Going outside doesn't necessarily mean we can escape the pursuit, so I plan to take you to Titan."

The three women were all taken aback.

They had never imagined this place.

Ye Han knew that this suggestion came suddenly and he needed to give an explanation.

However, he still kept many things from us regarding the events of 100,000 years ago and his relationship with Lina: "I have some connection with Queen Lina of Titan. The specifics are unclear in a short time, but one thing is certain: she is willing to help us."

"Safety is not an issue there. Titan is one of the three top powers in the Chaotic Star Sea. Even Krathor would not dare to easily extend its reach into Titan."

After some discussion, everyone agreed.

Bai Xue said, "I have no objection. The desolate planet is indeed not safe. The black hole of the Devil's Footprint can't be opened for a while. Rather than waiting here for the next wave of attacks from the Undead, we should move to a safe place first."

"Alright, it's just a pity about this place. It's rare to find such a peaceful, desolate planet," Dia said reluctantly.

She also spent a lot of effort on the transformation of the desolate planet.

It's hard not to feel a little reluctant to leave now.

Lingling was even more straightforward, offering no objections whatsoever, and simply obeying whatever her master said.

With an agreement reached, Ye Han stopped delaying.

With a wave of his hand, the Eternal, moored in the distant mountain valley, was enveloped by a beam of white light, rapidly shrinking and transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into the storage space in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, he collected all the wheat sheep scattered throughout the desolate planet.

These furry little creatures were quite frightened and kept bleating, but thankfully they were all unharmed.

After everything was settled, Ye Han said, "Let's set off now."

A flash of white light, and the four of them vanished simultaneously.

When the light faded, the four of them were already standing in a palace inside the planet Titan.

The palace was quiet, with only Pella standing in the center of the courtyard.

When she saw Ye Han appear with three people, she showed no surprise. Instead, she calmly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and performed a standard greeting.

What followed caught everyone present, including Ye Han himself, completely off guard.

"His Majesty."

Pera maintained her bow and continued, "By order of Her Majesty the Queen, from this day forward, you shall be the new Emperor of Titan, and shall sit on equal footing with Her Majesty the Queen."

"What?"

Pera straightened up: "Her Majesty is currently holding a high-level meeting and is unable to greet you personally. I hope Your Majesty will understand. Please follow me into the palace. Your accommodations and other arrangements have been made."

The change in identity was so rapid that Ye Han didn't even have time to react.

One moment he was planning to bring the three of them here to seek refuge and explain the situation to Lina, and the next moment he became the new emperor of Titan.

Such a leap would cause anyone, let alone him, to crash for a few seconds.

Dia tilted her head slightly and lowered her voice: "You have some connection with the Queen, Ye Han, that's what you just said, right?"

Bai Xue, who was behind, had already made a note of this matter and planned to ask him about it privately later.

Ye Han felt sweat starting to bead up on his back.

Just then, Lingling added fuel to the fire: "Master is amazing! It hasn't been long, and the Queen of Titan has already been defeated! Keep up the good work!"

"Ahem." Ye Han cleared his throat. "Well, lead the way."

Pella led the way, guiding the group through the palace.

Ye Han wanted to explain, but found that he didn't know where to begin.

I'm already mentally cursing my past self: If I could go back 100,000 years and casually waved my hand to save someone, then walked away, leaving me with a mountain of debts to repay. This isn't a savior, this is a debtor!

Things have already come to this point, and dwelling on it further won't change anything.

Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. This historical challenge posed by the future must be tackled no matter what.

...

three days later.

There is no day and night cycle inside a star; time flows in a more abstract way.

However, for those who were used to the universe's standard schedule, the span of three days was not difficult to perceive.

Over the next three days, Ye Han managed to resolve the matter smoothly.

At that moment, Ye Han felt that it was more worthwhile than fighting a hundred tough battles.

As for Lingling, as a robot created by Ye Han using talismans, she has always been unconditionally trusted.

They even wanted to encourage Ye Han to bring back a few more.

In Lingling's opinion, it was still too little.

This unreserved trust moved Ye Han, but also left him feeling both amused and exasperated.

Lina's performance completely dispelled the two women's concerns.

She showed no displeasure or rejection at all because Ye Han had brought three female companions. On the contrary, she naturally treated them as family with a warm and approachable manner.

Snow White and Dia changed their way of addressing her from the polite "Your Majesty" to calling her by her first name, "Sister Lina."

There was less formality and more intimacy.

This warmed Ye Hanxin's heart.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The weather was perfect that day.

Ye Han and Lina sat side by side on the wicker chairs on the terrace, with the lake in the distance shimmering in the sunlight.

"Lina," Ye Han put down his teacup and said seriously.

"Thank you so much for what happened these past few days. The three of them are the most important people in my life. Even though Lingling is a robot, she's already an indispensable member of my family, no different from Snow White and Dia. I'm so grateful that you can accept them."

Lina gently swirled the glass in her hand, a hint of a smile appearing in her amber eyes, her tone unintentionally soft: "You don't need to thank me, I already knew."

Ye Han was slightly taken aback: "Know what?"

"I know they are your beloved ones, and I know you value them more than anything else." Lina turned her head to look at him, her gaze gentle.
