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

Ye Han had never met McDonald's mother before, and was quite shocked to see her today.

The woman before him, wielding the Holy Sword of Light and exuding a sharp aura, radiated a seasoned and battle-hardened sharpness. Standing there, she resembled a drawn blade, making it difficult to associate her with McDonald.

Roman noticed Ye Han's confusion and briefly explained to him about Cynthia and what had just happened.

It turns out there was a hidden story behind McDonald's mother abandoning the Merlins.

As for the person he had just kicked away, Ye Han also figured out his identity.

Lord of the Shadow Clan – Youlan.

Lord of the Shadow Clan. What a prestigious title.

But their strength is too weak; they can't even block a single kick.

Ye Han didn't even feel any decent resistance.

Some people are curious about how Youlan managed to get into this position with her limited abilities, and how she managed to stay in it for so many years.

It's not surprising that Ye Han had these thoughts.

His strength was growing too fast. After all twelve talismans were upgraded, each one was snowballing wildly, amplifying each other and layering on top of each other. Every day, he was leaving his yesterday's self far behind.

His growth rate had long since deviated from the conventional cultivation path, to the point that even he himself could hardly estimate it accurately.

Ye Han asked, "So, is the matter with the Shadow Clan now considered settled?"

"That's settled. Now we plan to rest for a bit and head to Rainbow Sea to find my dad," McDonald said.

The matter on Dark Night Star has been completely settled.

Cynthia completely sheathed the Holy Sword of Light in her palm, and the holy light around her dissipated, losing some of its sharpness.

She said to Ye Han, "McDonald has been helped by you many times along the way. He told me all of this. From the Milky Way to the Chaotic Star Sea, if it weren't for you, he might not be standing here alive."

"I, Cynthia, have taken note of this matter. I will not refuse your request, no matter when or where you may need me in the future."

Ye Han replied politely, "It was just a small favor. After all, I'm just an Earthling too; there's no need to say such things when helping my own people."

All twelve talismans have been successfully upgraded, and Ye Han has now become almost a walking wish-granting machine.

Anything you can imagine, you can accomplish.

Just as they were talking, Roman came to the side with Gunpla and Oak.

His relationship with these two men was always one of command and execution; they rarely had any private interactions.

But along the way, through thick and thin, some things have quietly changed.

"I'm sorry, I dragged you into this mess. If my plan hadn't had a flaw, you wouldn't be in this dangerous situation and would have almost ended here."

Roman apologized; in the past, they would never have believed it, not even if you beat them to death.

He took out two items and handed them to the two men respectively.

What was handed to Gang Dun was a dark-colored crystal.

The crystal contains an extremely pure source of shadow power, which, after being refined, would be enough to elevate the physical strength of a warrior like Gang Shield who specializes in defense to another level.

What was given to Oak was a tightly sealed scroll.

It is engraved with the ancient patterns of the Shadow Clan, which contain several long-lost lightning-based secret techniques.

"A little something, as compensation."

The two silently reached out and took the items.

"McDonald's mother has been rescued, so the original agreement has been fulfilled."

"From this moment on, our cooperation is officially over. You may leave. You are free to go wherever you want; I will no longer restrict you."

I have done what I promised.

It's time for the team to disband.

Upon hearing this, Gang Dun felt a hint of reluctance: "It's really not easy. To be honest, I, Gang Dun, don't have many people I admire in my life, but you, Red-Eyes, are one of them."

"After years of patiently enduring hardship and taking each step with care, we've finally gotten to where we are today. If it were me, I would have quit long ago."

He raised his hand and patted Roman's shoulder heavily, continuing, "Alright, enough said, I should be going now. If there's any fighting to be done in the future, you can always come find me on my planet."

"Whether it's dealing with Galaxy Eye or anything else, just say the word, and I, Gundam, will bring my troops over."

"it is good."

Gang Shield flew away from Dark Night Star.

Oak watched Gundam's figure disappear, then turned around, his face now sporting his signature grin:

"Red-Eye, no offense, but you're usually as cold as ice, but I never expected you to be so convincing when you get emotional. Apologizing and giving gifts, I almost don't recognize you anymore."

Roman looked at him expressionlessly: "If you don't want it, you can give it back to me."

"Yes, yes, yes! Who said I didn't want it?" Oak quickly stuffed the reel into his arms, protecting it like a precious treasure.

There's no reason to return something you've worked so hard to get.

He packed his things, his playful expression fading slightly, and his tone became more serious: "Alright, I'm done arguing with you. I'm going with Ye Han later; I need to talk to him about something."

Not long after, the two groups parted ways on Dark Night Star.

Ye Han led Oak on their journey home.

McDonald, Cynthia, and Roman stayed on Dark Night Star, planning to rest for a while before meeting up with Hama and the others and setting off for Rainbow Sea.

......

Halfway there, Ye Han and Oak stopped on a desolate asteroid.

This planet is pitifully small; you can see its end at a glance.

Ye Han opened his palm, and a wisp of soul appeared in his palm.

The soul was semi-transparent, its outline identical to that of Ork, and its features were clearly discernible.

It is the main soul of Oak.

When Oak saw his main soul, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he was filled with excitement.

We've been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Ouk, you wouldn't come here without a reason, so you've come with me for this, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what it's for." Oak nodded repeatedly.

Many years ago, since the beginning of Rift Valley City, the main soul has remained in Ye Han's hands. Although he dared not say anything, he could clearly feel the flaw deep in his soul every night.

Ye Han had no intention of keeping him in suspense and sent the main soul back into Oak's body.

The main soul transformed into a soft light and entered his chest, merging with the remaining soul within his body.

In that instant, Oak felt a sense of security he had never felt before.

Ye Han looked at Oak, his gaze slightly lost in thought, recalling the first time he met him:

"You did a good job recruiting me as an undercover agent to infiltrate Purple Eyes' organization; you really came in handy."

After Oak switched to the Red Eyes faction and entered the Devil's Footprint, he became largely useless.

Ye Han had long wanted to return the main soul to him.

There simply wasn't a suitable opportunity before, and it wasn't worth making a special trip for this matter.

I just happened to be there today, so I decided to take care of it.

"Alright, I'm returning your main soul to you. Don't do those kinds of things again; it's not worth it."

Ouke listened carefully to Ye Han's opinion.

He patted his chest hard, making two muffled sounds.

"Boss, I understand. Don't worry, I won't touch those rotten things I did before."

"Like I said before, once you're my boss, you're my boss for life. If you ever need anything, just call me. No matter when or where, as long as you speak, I, Oak, will be there for you."

"But one thing, please don't make me an undercover agent again. Three years after three years, it's been so many years."

"Those days were unbearable. I was afraid every night that I would talk in my sleep and sell myself out. I even lost a lot of hair from worry."

A smile appeared on Ye Han's lips, dispelling the usual coldness between his brows: "Alright, I believe you. Stop with the sentimentality and let's go."

"By the way, do you still have the coordinates for leaving the Devil's Footprints?"

"Yes, I've got it in my head, I can't forget it. Well, I'll be going now, boss. Next time we meet, I'll treat you to a drink."

With a loud laugh, Oak soared into the air, transforming into a bright bolt of lightning that pierced the night sky of the desolate planet and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​stars.

Ye Han followed closely behind, flying towards Titan.
