“You’re saying that the current Blue Star is being invaded by mysterious aliens from unknown galaxies?!”
After listening to everyone’s account, Qin Xuan shot up from his seat.
Although he had already learned from Chen Xuan that there were countless civilizations in the universe, as a native of Blue Star, he was still startled to hear that his planet was being invaded by aliens.
Fortunately, thus far, the strongest alien discovered only possessed divine-level strength.
Setting aside their slightly more advanced weaponry, they were not something to be overly concerned about in general.
However, foresight had always been a good habit of the Dragon Country people.
After all, no one knew if there were more formidable beings behind these divine-level aliens.
Now, it was good that the Dragon Country alone had at least four cultivators at the Core Formation stage.
Even if the so-called hidden families chose to remain secluded and not participate in inter-planetary wars, the Dragon Country would have sufficient leverage to negotiate with the invading mysterious aliens.
“It’s just that our biggest concern isn’t those aliens, but countries like the United States that have frequent contact with them…”
Halfway through his sentence, Ke Wudi suddenly sighed.
If the entire Blue Star could unite against a common enemy, those aliens might have long since perished under the combined efforts of Blue Star’s major powers.
However, recently, countries like Dongying and Bangzi that were “pro-American” seemed to be intentionally approaching the remnants of alien forces.
If they remained neutral during a war, it would be one thing.
But if they were to assist the aliens, what would happen in the future was truly unpredictable…
“Have we still not found a way for aliens to come to Blue Star?”
Hearing his masters’ helpless words, Qin Xuan voiced a question that had been buried in his heart.
After all, since aliens could come to Blue Star, Blue Star could surely find a way to reach their territories through them.
This meant more resources and more benefits.
For safety reasons, countries like the United States should be on the same front as all countries on Blue Star.
Why did it sound now as if the United States was already colluding with aliens to invade Blue Star?
If the aliens succeeded, what benefit would the United States gain?
Hearing Qin Xuan’s question, Ke Wudi shook his head helplessly. “They all arrived on Blue Star via inter-regional spacecraft.”
“But we cannot build such spacecraft, and the enemy does not give us the opportunity to study them.”
“Therefore, the entire Blue Star is currently in a rather passive state.”
“Passive discovery, passive engagement.”
“That’s why we are so cautious about everything in the future, and at the same time, we show more resistance towards the attitude of countries like the United States.”
“But now it’s different,” Long Shou took over the conversation with a relaxed tone. “The strength of the three Supremes has surpassed the divine level. Even if the aliens and the United States join forces, they will not be able to break through their defenses.”
“What’s more, our Dragon Country now has you. When you emerge from your closed-door cultivation, I believe you will become the strongest backing for the entire Dragon Country!”
“I, I will try my best.”
For some reason, when Long Shou mentioned him, Qin Xuan felt his heart involuntarily skip a beat.
And when the other party said he was the strongest backing for the entire Dragon Country, Qin Xuan could clearly detect the pride in his words.
It felt like a father praising his child for getting a perfect score.
But he was meeting him for the first time…
“Silly boy, you finally feel it?”
“Feel what?”
Qin Shouxian’s mysterious smile made Qin Xuan’s heart suddenly lurch.
And when he shifted his gaze back to Long Shou’s face, a face he recognized from childhood slowly overlapped with the man’s appearance.
This is?
Boom!
As he gasped, it was as if millions of thunderbolts exploded in Qin Xuan’s heart.
For a moment, he even forgot to open his mouth, forgot to breathe.
It wasn’t until familiar words were spoken again that the tears in Qin Xuan’s eyes gushed out like a clear spring.
“Feiyu, come here and let Dad hug you.”
Yes.
The man before him was not only the highest leader of the Dragon Country, revered as Long Shou, but also Qin Xuan’s father, Qin Antai, whom Qin Xuan had believed lost for twenty years and never expected to see again!
To be honest, when Qin Shouxian told Qin Xuan that Qin Antai was not dead, Qin Xuan had imagined many reunion scenes with his father.
But he could never have imagined that the man he longed for would become the leader of the entire Dragon Country!
However, this also naturally resolved many of the questions that had been puzzling him.
Why could the Qin family patriarch, who was not the Dragon Country’s Long Shou, still maintain the Qin family’s position as the foremost family?
Why did the three divine Supremes treat him so well, even though his initial displayed potential was inferior to Tang Junlin and Qin Wenchang?
Having figured everything out, Qin Xuan’s gaze finally refocused on the young man before him, and he trembled as he uttered a name he hadn’t called in a long time.
“Dad!”
Instantly, the entire room was filled with the joy of a father and son’s reunion. Ke Wudi and Hu Sanqiang stubbornly turned their heads away.
Qin Shouxian, Zheng Wanqing, and others openly wept without regard for their image.
Just as Qin Xuan had thought, these people had actually been paying attention to Qin Xuan’s growth all along.
However, due to special circumstances, they had not brought Qin Xuan back early to be groomed as the successor of the Qin family.
Now that Qin Xuan had reached such a position through his own efforts, it was an unexpected joy that they, who had been involved in the planning, could never have imagined.
“Dad, since you’re here, what about Mom?”
After composing himself, Qin Xuan finally asked his father about his mother’s whereabouts.
Since they had used the golden cicada’s escape trick together back then, his mother should naturally have come to live inside the central sea with his father.
Qin Antai nodded at his words, not saying anything that would break Qin Xuan’s heart.
“Your mother went out for training. I didn’t tell her you were coming today.”
“By my calculations, she should be back by now. Hurry and wipe your face, and give her a surprise!”
“Okay!”
Wiping away his tears, Qin Xuan finally managed to temporarily suppress the joy of reuniting with his family.
Sitting by the door, the few of them waited quietly for Qin Xuan’s mother to arrive.
Within a few minutes, the sound of a wooden door opening suddenly echoed from outside.
As a gentle figure walked into the room, Qin Xuan, trying his best to contain his excitement, approached the figure.
“Mom, when will we arrive? I, I’m getting a little sleepy…”
