He Xi raised her eyelids, a knowing and mischievous smile flashing in her icy blue eyes.

"Tomboy, what's so hard to understand?"

She deliberately dragged out her words, her cool voice taking on a teasing tone:

"You've lived for over 20,000 years, and all you've done in your life is endless wars, governing civilizations, judging countless evils, and sitting on this supreme throne in a daze. You don't even have a god-like figure who understands you and can banter with you to relieve your boredom. Your long life is nothing but responsibility and order. How can you not feel bored? I feel bored for you."

Keisha rolled her eyes at her, a genuine emotion she only showed in front of He Xi, devoid of her regal aura, and retorted:

"Hmph, as if you're not the same? Hiding in your lab for thousands of years without ever leaving, staring at those cold, hard data and star charts, do you think that's interesting? We're both the same, so neither of us should laugh at the other for not being able to get married."

The two top rulers of the known universe were now like two ordinary sisters teasing each other.

The camaraderie that has lasted for more than 20,000 years has long transcended a simple superior-subordinate or friend relationship, becoming the deepest imprint on each other's lives, allowing them to openly reveal even the most subtle emotions without any pretense.

As they chatted and laughed, their gazes, almost simultaneously and quite naturally, turned to the most prominent spot in the center of the garden.

There stands a lifelike male statue. Its material is neither stone nor jade, but rather a kind of solidified starlight, flowing with a warm and restrained luster under the light of the energy cascade.

The statue's face is exceptionally handsome, and every line seems to have been meticulously sculpted by the Creator, combining to create a kind of perfection that transcends gender.

Especially those eyes, sculpted with incredible skill to be incredibly deep, as if containing an entire rotating starry sky, capable of captivating the minds of all who gaze upon them.

The faint, knowing smile at the corner of the lips gives the statue an indescribable vividness and mystery.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat quiet and subtle.

The hint of a joke from just now quietly dissipated, replaced by a deeper and more complex emotion.

“They say you shouldn’t meet someone too amazing when you’re young.” Keisha’s voice became very soft and ethereal, as if she was afraid of disturbing someone’s dream, or as if she was touching a memory that had been sealed away for too long. “Otherwise, you will never be able to live a peaceful life.”

He Xi didn't reply, but simply tilted her head slightly, quietly looking at the statue, her icy blue eyes filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

There is reminiscence, emotion, a faint sense of melancholy, and even a trace of the scientist's undying curiosity and desire to explore.

They, with their long and glorious lives spanning over 20,000 years—enough to write countless legendary epics—truly proved the correctness of this statement.

That person appeared for only a brief moment in the vast river of their lives, like a fleeting glimpse of a shooting star streaking across the deep night sky.

Its brilliance was fleeting, yet so dazzling that it illuminated the eternal night that followed.

But after that, the two most powerful women in the known universe could never forget her, even in the endless years that followed.

His figure, the words he might have uttered unintentionally, his every move... have long transcended ordinary memories, becoming an eternal imprint deep within his soul.

Just as the two were immersed in that ancient yet vivid regret and remembrance, an extremely special, highest-priority encrypted communication request silently entered Keisha's private channel, breaking the tranquility.

"Your Majesty, it is I, Yan."

Angel Yan's voice came through the encrypted channel, still clear and crisp, but with a hint of respect.

Keisha almost instantly suppressed all her outward emotions, the turmoil in her eyes subsided, and she regained the absolute majesty and composure that belonged only to the Queen of Gods: "Speak."

"Urgent news from Earth. While on a routine patrol mission in the Chiwu star system, A-Zhui encountered the Crocodile God Soton, a peak beast-body warrior from the Styx star system, and a brief conflict ensued..."

Angel Yan spoke quickly but clearly, and swiftly finished reporting Angel Chase's encounter.

Before the communication ended, Keisha, who had been lounging lazily, sat up straight instantly, like a sharp sword about to be drawn!

The calm in those eyes, which could see through the workings of galaxies, was completely shattered by violent, almost uncontrollable turmoil. Even the steady fingers holding the teacup unconsciously tightened slightly, revealing the profound shock in their owner's heart.

"Is it confirmed? Is it really him?"

Her voice trembled with an extremely subtle tremor that she herself was unaware of.

This was an almost unimaginable outpouring of emotion for the Holy Keisha.

“A-Zhui was the first person to come into close contact with the person, and that’s how she made that judgment. After receiving the news, I also urgently retrieved and made a preliminary comparison with the blurry energy images recorded by the Chase Armor. Although they are not clear enough, the facial features and temperament are highly consistent.”

"I see."

Keisha abruptly stood up, her silver cloak billowing and rustling even without wind as she moved, instantly enveloping the entire garden with a powerful aura.

"Immediately prepare the fastest small shuttle in the Skyblade series! Activate the highest-level spacetime warp portal! I want to personally go to the Chiwu Star System, to Earth!"

He Xi, who was standing to the side, had already put away all her teasing and nostalgia. Her expression turned serious as she stood up instantly, her icy blue eyes flashing with a sharp light that blended science and emotion: "I'll go with you!"

However, the Celestial Court of Merlo is extremely far from Earth. Even with the most advanced spacetime jump technology of the Angel civilization, it would take several Earth days to traverse this long journey of billions of light-years, ignoring the numerous interstellar dust and gravitational traps in between.

Meanwhile, on Earth at this time...

Angel Chase's pure white wings drooped slightly as she desperately tried to hold onto the man whose surrounding space was beginning to ripple abnormally, and whose figure was becoming increasingly ethereal and hazy.

"Your Excellency! Please stay just a little longer! Even just a little longer would be great! I have already sent your message back to Melo, and Queen Keisha and King He Xi of the Heavenly Realm are on their way at full speed!"

Her tone was urgent, even pleading.

She couldn't understand why anyone would choose to leave after learning that the two queens were coming in person.

The ripples of spacetime around Qin Chuan became increasingly pronounced, as if he did not entirely belong to this dimension.

His figure flickered between reality and illusion, as if he would merge into the air at any moment.

A helpless smile appeared on his face.

The principles of time and space are too profound and unpredictable, even for him.

At this moment, the spacetime around him is not yet stable. He himself cannot fully control when the next jump will occur or where it will take him.

Perhaps, only when he fully comprehends the ultimate truth of time and space, or when this strange force surrounding him subsides on its own, will he be able to truly settle down.

He looked at the anxious yet sincere young angel before him, his gaze gentle, and smiled.

"If fate allows, we will meet again. If you see Keisha and Hexi, please give them my regards. Tell them that you are well and that time has not changed your appearance."

Before the angel could say anything more, the spacetime ripples around Qin Chuan suddenly intensified, forming a miniature vortex that seemed capable of swallowing light.

His figure rapidly faded and thinned within the vortex, eventually disappearing completely without leaving any trace of energy, as if he had never existed.

Angel was left standing there blankly, gazing at the empty sea ahead, the sea breeze blowing through her golden hair, her heart filled with immense loss and disbelief.

The words of that being and the way it disappeared were far beyond her comprehension.

Several days later, a dazzling golden beam of light descended outside the Earth's atmosphere like a divine scepter, then receded, transforming into a streamlined, small angelic vessel radiating holy light.

Holy Keisha and Heavenly King He Xi, accompanied by their left-wing guard Yan, finally arrived at this blue planet.

However, they eventually saw only the angel who had been waiting there, his face filled with deep guilt and unease.

After hearing from Zhui that Qin Chuan had already left, and that his only words were, "May my old friend be well, and may time not have changed his appearance," Keisha stood there for a long time, her magnificent red cloak hanging down, motionless.

Those deep eyes, which usually see through the universe and judge countless evils, now clearly flashed a deep regret and an undisguised loneliness.

She stood silently for a long time on this land where he had just stayed. The sea breeze brushed against her golden hair and silver armor, as if one could feel the lingering, familiar yet strange aura emanating from them.

It is a mark that has transcended countless ages and remains clearly discernible.

It wasn't until an urgent intelligence report arrived, revealing renewed activity by the demon legion and clues suggesting Morgana might be hiding on Earth, that Keisha had no choice but to withdraw her gaze from the endless sea and sky, burying that sense of loneliness deep within her heart.

Before leaving, she turned around, her expression regaining its majesty, and issued her highest command to Angel Yan and Angel Zhui:

"Keep a close eye on Earth! Utilize all available monitoring methods! If he reappears, no matter where I am, what I am doing, or what the situation is, you must notify me immediately!"

Her tone was more serious, more urgent, and even carried an unquestionable absoluteness than ever before.

Angel Yan and Angel Zhui were filled with enormous questions and overwhelming curiosity.

They had served Queen Keisha for a thousand years and had never seen her show such concern, or even "obsession," with anyone, let alone a man.

This completely overturned their preconceived notions of Queen Keisha as "absolutely rational" and "the queen of the gods."

Seeing the undisguised shock and confusion on the faces of the two young angels, He Xi smiled gently, walked to their side, and explained in a low voice with a touch of nostalgia and a hint of teasing, as if sharing a long-buried secret:

"Little ones, stop guessing."

Her gaze also turned to the spot where Qin Chuan had disappeared, her voice soft yet firm:

“That’s the man that your Queen Keisha and I have been waiting for for over 20,000 years.”

These words struck Yan and Zhui like a thunderbolt! They were like the explosion of a cosmic singularity, instantly reshaping their understanding!

Two queens... waited for over 20,000 years... for a man?!

Queen Keisha, the known queen of the gods of the universe, a symbol of eternity, power, and perfection, could she also have a beloved she has longed for and waited for for so many years? What kind of being is that man?

The shock of this realization was unparalleled. It completely overturned their worldview and made that mysterious, fleeting existence even more legendary, great, and incredible in their hearts.

They all looked again at Queen Keisha's departing figure, still upright, yet seemingly hiding a loneliness that no one could understand, and remained lost in thought for a long time.

In the vast sea of ​​stars and through countless ages, there truly exists someone who could make even the King of Gods feel regret and wait.

Chapter 13 Where the Story Begins

The turbulent currents of time and space once again threw Qin Chuan away. When the surrounding scenery re-coordinated, he found himself in a nighttime alleyway filled with the atmosphere of a modern city.

The faint glow of the neon lights barely illuminated the damp ground, and the air was filled with the smells of trash cans, rain, and a barely perceptible tension.

Deep in the alley, a common street conflict is unfolding.

A plainly dressed, somewhat simple-minded young man is trying to protect a panicked woman from several thugs.

His courage was commendable, but reality was cruel. The young man was quickly surrounded and brutally beaten by the group, with fists and feet raining down on him.

However, just as the young man was being beaten and curled up in his hands, something unexpected happened!

It was as if some dormant switch within him had been suddenly triggered, and an indescribable power erupted!

Suddenly, he straightened up and let out a roar filled with a mixture of fear and confusion. With a casual shove, he sent the most arrogant gang leader flying backward, crashing heavily into a wall more than ten meters away with a thud.

The thug leader who was pushed away should have suffered broken bones and tendons from such an attack, but he seemed completely unharmed. He got up cursing and grabbed an empty beer bottle from the side, then charged forward again, his speed and strength clearly exceeding that of an ordinary person.

Two newly awakened superhumans, like street brawlers, swung their fists at each other haphazardly, their fists hitting each other with dull thuds, shaking the walls and causing dust to fall. The scene was both comical and eerie.

"The Power of the Galaxy, the War God of Nostar..."

Qin Chuan looked at the young man Ge Xiaolun and the hooligan Liu Chuang, a knowing glint in his eyes:

"It seems we've arrived at where the story began."

Just then, the piercing sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached, quickly interrupting the "superheroes" brawl.

A police car stopped at the alley entrance, and a tall, beautiful policewoman with a cold face quickly got out of the car with two auxiliary police officers and sternly stopped the conflict.

"Stop it! What are you doing!"

The policewoman's sharp gaze swept across the scene, and she quickly brought the situation under control.
