Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Having just suffered a crushing defeat in the fourth war between angels and demons, with her demon army almost completely wiped out and herself severely injured.

If it weren't for Death God Karl's secret assistance in upgrading her to the fourth generation of divine body and secretly sending her to Earth, she would probably have perished long ago.

At this moment, she has descended upon this remote village on Earth with the purpose of re-implanting the demonic genes and making a comeback.

She ignored the ignorant villagers who were trembling with fear and even kneeling in worship, and her cold and critical gaze swept around before finally settling on a young farmer who looked fairly strong and honest.

"Hmm, this one will do. Although the foundation is a bit weak, it's barely enough to revive Ato."

A cruel smile curled at the corner of her lips as she extended her hand, adorned with dark purple nail polish, preparing to extract his genes and life energy.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch the terrified farmer, a calm yet soul-piercing voice suddenly rang out:

This name, long forgotten, exploded in her mind like a thunderclap.

Morgana turned her head sharply, and when she saw the two people who had appeared not far away, especially the figure in front of her with black hair and black eyes, whose aura was as deep as the starry sea.

For the first time, a real crack appeared in her perpetually amusement and indifference, revealing immense shock and disbelief.

"It's...it's you?! Qin Chuan?!"

Her voice even trembled slightly.

More than 20,000 years ago!

She watched him disappear into the spacetime turbulence with her own eyes, and afterwards used the entire intelligence network of the demon legion to search every corner of the known universe, but could not find any trace of him again.

She even once thought that he had already perished in some unknown fragment of time and space.

I never imagined that we would meet again in such a backward pre-nuclear civilization as Earth!

Qin Chuan's gaze also fell on Morgana. Looking at her now-transformative image with smoky makeup, a deep V-neck leather jacket, and metal wings, he couldn't help but reveal a complex emotion in his eyes.

“It’s me,” he replied softly, still using that ancient name. “Liang Bing. I still think you were prettier before. Your current style, to use Earth terms, seems a bit too unconventional.”

Hearing him mention the past and praise her former beauty, Morgana's frozen heart was stirred by a ripple, and a long-lost, almost forgotten joy welled up inside her.

Almost instinctively, dark energy surged around her, and her exaggerated smoky makeup, strange markings, and steel wings on her back vanished instantly.

Instead, there was that familiar head of slightly wavy brown hair, a delicate and perfect face, and that silver-blue armor and red cloak that once represented the King of Apocalypse—it was exactly how she looked as Liang Bing!

"How is it now?

She even subconsciously tidied her hair, her tone carrying a rare, childlike expectation, but then, as if remembering something, her tone became mischievous and provocative:

"Compared to that bitch Keisha, who is prettier?"

Qin Chuan frowned slightly upon hearing her derogatory term for Keisha.

Seeing him frown, the smile on Liang Bing's face faded slightly, and her tone turned cold:

"What? Are you unhappy? More than 20,000 years have passed, Qin Chuan. A lot of things have changed. She and I are no longer sisters. We are mortal enemies, the kind that will fight to the death."

She took a step closer, her gaze fixed intently on Qin Chuan, filled with nervousness and anticipation: "Tell me, are you here to help me or her?"

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, Qin Chuan slowly shook his head: "Rather than taking sides, I would prefer to see you sisters reconcile."

"Make up? Haha!"

Liang Bing laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, but her laughter was filled with deep sorrow and determination:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The conflict between her and me isn't childish; it's a clash of ideologies! A fundamental conflict about the future direction of the universe! There's no possibility of reconciliation!"

She seemed unwilling to dwell on the matter any longer, forcefully changing the subject, her gaze returning to one of curiosity:

"Forget about that bitch! And you? What are you doing here? In this godforsaken pre-nuclear civilization?"

"Earth is my civilization."

Qin Chuan answered calmly.

This answer stunned Liang Bing once again, a hint of realization flashing in her icy blue eyes:

"Your civilization? Is it related to those spacetime topics you studied back then?"

"There is some connection," Qin Chuan did not deny.

Liang Bing pondered for a moment. Being an extremely intelligent person, she immediately understood Qin Chuan's purpose in appearing at this moment.

She glanced at the silent, wary girl with long, wine-red hair beside her, then looked at Qin Chuan and shrugged.

"So, you're here to stop me? You know I need to spread demonic genes here to rebuild my legion. This will inevitably harm the interests of Earth's civilization."

In the past, she would not have explained at all, nor would she have cared about the life or death of a pre-nuclear civilization.

But when facing Qin Chuan, she unusually showed hesitation and apprehension.

However, Qin Chuan's next words greatly surprised her.

"I won't stop you." Qin Chuan's tone remained calm. "I can even provide you with an area where you can spread demonic genes and revive your demonic civilization."

Rose, who had been trying to remain silent, suddenly looked up at Qin Chuan, her eyes filled with incomprehension and shock, and she almost blurted out a question.

But she suddenly remembered Qin Chuan's previous attitude towards Lena and the technology of the Lieyang civilization; he was by no means someone who would compromise or submit.

She forced down the turmoil in her heart, choosing to continue believing, and pressed her lips tightly together.

Liang Bing was also stunned, looking at him suspiciously: "Oh? That's so nice? Which area?"

Qin Chuan pointed in a direction: "There. An island nation that faces China across the sea."

Upon hearing that it was that specific island nation, Rose's tense nerves instantly relaxed considerably, and even a barely perceptible hint of pleasure flashed in her eyes.

As a soldier of China, she found it difficult to feel any goodwill towards that island nation with which she had countless historical grievances.

"In today's world, countries still fight each other and even undermine each other."

Qin Chuan continued to explain:

"They haven't truly realized the horror and despair of an invasion by a space-age civilization. You need a stronghold to revive the demons, and Earth needs a sufficiently shocking 'demonstration' to wake up those rulers who are still asleep and scheming."

"That island nation is perfect. It's a way to make use of waste, and it can also serve as a warning to others."

When Rose heard the word "waste utilization," her lips twitched slightly, but she still couldn't help but whisper a reminder:

"But in that country, there are still some innocent civilians and good people..."

Qin Chuan glanced at her and said, "The essence of the demon gene is to amplify desires and tempt people to fall, but it cannot forcibly change a soul with a pure will and a heart turned towards the light. Truly good people will not be affected by it and become demons."

Hearing this explanation, Rose was finally completely relieved.

Meanwhile, Liang Bing, whose beautiful eyes had returned to their icy blue color, was observing Qiangwei with great interest.

She was incredibly astute; she had long ago realized that Qin Chuan's words were less meant for her and more specifically for this Earth girl, intended to comfort and explain.

"A little girl from a pre-nuclear civilization?" Liang Bing's gaze swept over Qiangwei, her heart filled with curiosity. "He's so considerate of this little girl's feelings, what's so special about her?"

She was very satisfied with the conditions Qin Chuan offered; that island nation was indeed a good testing ground and springboard.

He also developed a strong interest in the red-haired girl next to Qin Chuan who made him look at her in a different light.

Chapter 21 Another Old Friend

Rose felt uncomfortable under Liang Bing's undisguised, inquisitive, and playful gaze. She subconsciously moved closer to Qin Chuan, almost hiding behind him.

Seeing this, Liang Bing not only didn't restrain herself, but found it even more amusing.

Her personality was straightforward, even unrestrained, and she immediately curled the corners of her lips into a playful smile as she looked at Qin Chuan:

"Hey, tell me quickly, what exactly did you see in this redhead? Is it her youth? Her energy? Or something else special?"

Rose's heart skipped a beat for no reason. Although her face remained cold, her ears perked up involuntarily, and all her attention was focused on the answer Qin Chuan was about to give.

She was also very, very curious as to why Qin Chuan seemed to treat her so differently.

Qin Chuan did not answer Liang Bing's question immediately. Instead, he glanced at the Huangcun villagers around him, who were afraid but still couldn't help but look around with curiosity, and shook his head slightly: "This is not the place to talk."

As soon as he finished speaking, without making any move, the surrounding space rippled like water.

In the next instant, Liang Bing and Qiangwei felt a blur before their eyes, and the scenery around them had changed from a remote rural dirt road to an elegantly decorated restaurant filled with the aroma of food, which was the same restaurant where Rui Mengmeng had worked before.

On the photo wall of the restaurant, the awkward 'couple photo' of Qin Chuan and Qiangwei is still clearly visible.

Liang Bing, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed the photo. A hint of surprise and deeper curiosity flashed in her icy blue eyes, but she suppressed it for the time being and followed Qin Chuan to a quiet booth to sit down.

The waiter came forward, and Qin Chuan casually ordered a few signature dishes and drinks.

After the waiter left, Qin Chuan looked at Liang Bing and answered her previous question, indirectly telling Qiangwei the answer as well:

“The spacetime around me is unstable, often causing uncontrollable jumps. Rose’s unique spacetime genes are currently the only thing that can help me temporarily stabilize my state. Therefore, I need her to stay by my side.”

Upon hearing this, Rose was startled. The little bit of secret expectation in her heart deflated quickly, like a balloon punctured by a needle.

"So it was just because my genes are useful? Just because they needed me to be a 'human stabilizer'?"

An indescribable sense of loss and bitterness welled up in her heart, causing her to involuntarily lower her head.

Liang Bing's eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing this!

This word was like the sweetest nectar, instantly pouring into her heart, which was passionate about studying spacetime and firmly believed that spacetime technology was the only way to combat ultimate fear!

Her gaze towards Qin Chuan and Qiangwei instantly became incredibly ardent!

"So, it's not the kind of relationship you're imagining."

Qin Chuan ignored Liang Bing's gaze, which seemed to want to dissect and study him, and continued:

“Liang Bing, now that you’ve come to Earth, perhaps you can temporarily put aside your prejudices and start by enjoying the local cuisine to truly understand this civilization. You’ll find that the order implemented by Keisha isn’t as worthless as you imagine…”

Upon hearing "Keisha" and "Order," Liang Bing's excitement and curiosity vanished instantly, replaced by annoyance and impatience.

She suddenly stood up:

"Stop! Don't mention that bitch and her disgusting code of justice! It gives me a headache!"

She waved her hand, as if to dispel some bad luck: "Alright, I know the place. I'll handle the demon gene issue. I'll go check out the environment in that island nation first. You guys enjoy your meal!"

After saying that, she turned around almost impatiently, and with a flash of light around her, she immediately used micro-wormhole teleportation technology to disappear from the restaurant, as if staying for even a second longer would make her uncomfortable.

Seeing how resistant she was to topics related to Keisha and how she immediately fled, Qin Chuan could only shake his head helplessly.

It seems the conflict between the sisters is deeper than he imagined.

We'll just have to find another opportunity later.

His gaze shifted to Rose, who was standing opposite him with her head bowed, and he asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
