Chapter 434 Many Relatives and Friends, Parents Alive and Well (5400, First Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

The anomalies in the sky were certainly wondrous and astonishing, but until everyone understood the impact they would bring, normal work had to continue.

"Everything is under control. You ask me to evaluate this exploration? Full marks are ten, so I'll give myself ten!"

This was Su Zhou's attitude, and he spoke with fervor at the press conference: "Yes, the Qingqiu people are our compatriots. Since ancient times, Planet Qingqiu has been an inseparable part of our civilization of immortal and divine successors—but the Qingqiu people have just emerged from disaster. Please do not disturb them too much, and give them time to rebuild their homes in peace. We have official donation addresses..."

"What information can be revealed? I've broken through to the overlord realm. I can only say 'no comment' on anything else. Next."

"Hmm, why is everyone silent?"

"No next question? Then let's end this press conference."

With many reporters somewhat absent-minded, Su Zhou, with his overlord-level presence, easily controlled the entire situation, successfully holding and concluding the press conference regarding the Qingqiu Realm.

Although several thousand Qingqiu people were temporarily living on Earth as refugees, as Planet Qingqiu gradually returned to normal, the vast majority of Qingqiu people would return to their homeland in the future to rebuild their homes.

Under this major premise, Planet Qingqiu was temporarily not open to tourism and other channels—not only because spaceships and teleportation arrays could not handle the traffic, but also because of concerns about unknown wild pathogens and the residue of the 'Heavenly Demon' mental virus.

However, a group of Qingqiu people, led by Gu Zechuan, were willing to 'pledge allegiance' to Su Zhou.

Or, as it was now said, they were willing to work as ambassadors of exchange and bridges of communication between Qingqiu and Earth, working in the relevant departments of the New World Exploration Department.

"That's about it. You performed acceptably."

At the end of the press conference, Su Zhou turned his head to the white fox next to him, who still looked dazed.

Gu Zechuan was still a bit confused at the moment.

As Su Zhou's loyal follower and one of the representatives of the Qingqiu people, he had been bombarded with continuous questions from reporters, speaking with stutters.

"Ah, yes, yes. Supreme Su helped us Qingqiu people a lot. He led us to fight back against the heavens—against many evil beings. All the Qingqiu people are grateful for the Divine Court's support this time."

"That's right, the Initial Emperor and Emperor Yu are the immortal gods we most often worship, our ancestors… Since ancient times? Of course, since ancient times! It was like that long before the Qingqiu Kingdom was even established!"

"Is there anything worth mentioning on Planet Qingqiu? I don't think there is, because of the destruction of many evil beings, many of our major cities are..." "Let me say this part."

If Su Zhou hadn't frequently helped him out, or even simply taken over to speak himself, this young white fox might have inadvertently revealed confidential information about the Heavenly Demon and the Lord of Weapons.

"I lost my composure, Supreme One."

Having really never seen the Earthlings' interviewing formation, Gu Zechuan took a deep breath, his handsome face full of shame. He clenched his fingers and resolved, "If there is a next time, I will practice more and strive not to make any more mistakes!"

"Haha, you didn't make any mistakes, just almost made mistakes… It's good that you have the intention. But based on your looks, if the department needs a spokesperson for any press conference in the future, you would naturally be the best choice, saving me from having to show up every time."

Su Zhou didn't take it to heart. Even if he really made a mistake, he wouldn't care—it was just a press conference. In the time to come, in-depth exchanges of culture and skills between the two sides would be the most important thing.

Over these thousands of years, the 'Dao Armor' technology developed by the Qingqiu people to fight against evil beings had something in common with the Earthlings' exoskeleton armor... Both sides could learn from each other, allowing the design skills in related fields to advance by leaps and bounds.

Speaking of which, he had always wanted an exoskeleton armor for so many years, but he hadn't put one on until now...

But that was thinking too far ahead.

At this moment, the young man lowered his head and looked at a silver-haired boy who, although young, faintly revealed a trace of maturity. Su Zhou's tone was amiable: "Little Yin, how do you feel?"

"Still... good."

At this time, the boy called Little Yin was still vigilantly and curiously observing the environment of the Two Realms Fortress and the appearance of various Earth creations. He replied with a somewhat weak tone, his thin lips pursed, as if he was smiling slightly.

His face was as beautiful as that of all Qingqiu people, with a slightly pointed face, but his figure was somewhat thin, even for a teenager, making people feel that he would fall over with a gust of wind. However, his shoulder-length silver-white hair was very dazzling, reflecting the light.

He was none other than the Ice Fox Elder of the Ice Fox clan that Su Zhou and others had found on Qingqiu Four.

Compared to other Qingqiu people, the Ice Fox clan on Qingqiu Four obviously needed the most treatment—the suffering they had endured physically over a thousand years and generations did not need to be said, but the most terrible thing was the mental wear and tear.

In addition, they had sealed the fragments of the core true soul of the Lord of Weapons for nearly a thousand years. Just this alone was immeasurable merit, an unparalleled achievement, and could even be said to be one of the greatest heroes of the entire Planet Qingqiu.

Therefore, in the beginning, all the members of the Ice Fox clan, together with the collective consciousness of the Ice Fox, were sent to the Kunlun Secret Realm of the Zheng Nation to receive treatment from several masters of the Quasi-Dao family.

Having transformed for too long to the point of almost forgetting that they were human had been recorded in various Quasi-Dao families, and there were methods of treatment, but it required a long time... The best way to treat the Ice Foxes was to have them work together with professional human doctors.

However, the Ice Fox Elder's fox body was too old. If he continued to maintain it, it was likely to lead to the demise of both his body and soul. Therefore, he could only be forced to maintain his human form, and then slowly taught.

Fortunately, the Ice Fox Elder had high intelligence and originally retained a lot of humanity. After transforming into a human, he quickly grasped the current situation, and even gave himself the name 'Bing Yin' in the following studies.

Bing Yin should have been in the Kunlun Secret Realm receiving restorative treatment, but because he insisted on seeing the human world and adjusting his values, Su Zhou took him to the press conference.

Of course, Su Zhou knew very well that this was only the superficial reason. The most important thing was actually something else.

"I, I even have seven grandchildren... I have even more great-grandchildren... But I'm only fourteen years old..."

Su Zhou remembered that Bing Yin, who had shown himself to be very calm and wise, revealed a look of despair when he finally understood the relevant human ethics and morals and looked at the Ice Foxes who were recovering outside the window: "Supreme, Supreme One, please, please take me away from here... I can't stay here any longer!"

"Please, Supreme One, I am willing to do anything, please let me leave here..."

At that time, if Su Zhou hadn't reached out a hand for him to hold, the Ice Fox Elder would have basically fainted—Heavenly Venerable above, especially with the gradual recovery of various human knowledge inherited in Bing Yin's bloodline, he was completely collapsed at this moment. The hardship of leading the Ice Fox clan to survive in the Arctic for more than ten years was not as great as the blow of this day.

——Too miserable. Even Su Zhou couldn't help but shake his head. This matter was truly a tearjerker for men and women alike.

Su Zhou naturally agreed to the request of the Ice Fox beautiful boy with great seniority… To be honest, this was really difficult to solve. After all, the fertility period of a fox body and a human body were indeed different. During the period of spiritual energy depletion, there were very few Quasi-Dao cultivators who were forced to maintain their Quasi-Dao true bodies, and even fewer who had to reproduce in their true form. There had been no precedent from the age of immortals and gods until now.

In order to prevent Bing Yin, the 14-year-old great-grandfather, from seeing his 10- and 11-year-old sons and daughters, 6- and 7-year-old grandchildren, and 2- and 3-year-old great-grandchildren every day and falling into a state of self-loathing, Su Zhou used his privileges to take him out of the nursing home, taking care of him himself while also entrusting him to Gu Zechuan.

Fortunately, Bing Yin had roughly emerged from the intense mental shock, and his mentality was now barely normal. However, everyone knew how awkward it would be when the Ice Fox clan met in the future.

It was also fortunate that Bing Yin was not a woman, otherwise he would be a 14-year-old great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother.

After the press conference, Gu Zechuan left with Bing Yin.

As a bridge of communication between the Qingqiu Fox clan and humans, he had many things to do, and Su Zhou could not pay attention to him all the time—and the other party was essentially a very organized and powerful-minded person. The young man believed that he could handle things on his own.

Although he really wanted to know if there was a huge wave of public opinion on the Internet because of his breakthrough to the overlord realm, Su Zhou had other things to do at the moment.

Just like now—as the reporters and staff of the Two Realms Fortress dispersed, Su Zhou's group of relatives and friends also approached.

"Minister, congratulations on advancing to the overlord realm!"

The first one to emerge was Tang Yuan. This pale-faced young man was not surprised at all—after all, he had already been surprised on Planet Qingqiu. Su Zhou's breakthrough to the overlord realm and becoming an Earth Immortal was nothing new to him.

"You're not worried about me at all." "That's because I trust you."

The two chatted and joked for a few sentences, and then the topic turned to work. Tang Yuan reported to Su Zhou on the procedures for donating money and materials to the Qingqiu people, and many merchants expressed related cooperation intentions. Su Zhou listened carefully, gave some instructions in general terms, and left the rest to Tang Yuan to take charge of—after all, if Su Zhou took care of everything, he wouldn't need to cultivate and would have to stay in the office all day long.

Even Tang Yuan couldn't handle everything himself. As Su Zhou's secretary, he also had many employees under him.

After finishing official business, Tang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's roughly the situation, Minister. There are some things that are not convenient to say here, such as the report from the Daoshi Bureau that needs you to sign for in the office."

"Next, are you planning to return to Tiandu to report on your duties, or are you going back to Hongzhou first? Do you need me to arrange it?"

"... I'll go back to Tiandu to report on my duties first. There are still many things on Planet Qingqiu, and the previous report couldn't explain it clearly."

It wasn't that Su Zhou didn't want to see his family, but after all, he had already seen his mother on Planet Qingqiu, so there was no need to rush—anyway, his father would definitely watch the press conference and know that he was doing well.

As for the arrangement of transportation…

"By the way, Tang Yuan, did you know that the intelligent AI in my exclusive car has upgraded its intelligence because it chatted with you?"

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Tang Yuan was a little confused at first, but soon, his expression changed slightly: "Wait, could it be that..."

At this moment, Tang Yuan's expression became a little strange.

Seeing this, Su Zhou was also a little puzzled—could it be that Tang Yuan didn't know about this?

That shouldn't be the case, after all, he spent the most time with that car…

The young man did not use the Heart of No Thought to deliberately pry into Tang Yuan's heart. He only sensed Tang Yuan's confusion and a trace of sudden realization.

This immediately made the young man raise his eyebrows—could it be that there was something hidden in the car AI's upgrade? Interesting.

Thinking like this, Su Zhou did not intend to pry into other people's hearts any further.

Except for the period after he advanced to the Earth Immortal, when his supernatural powers broke through, causing him to always use them passively, he would basically not deliberately sense other people's hearts.

After all, for friends, this was a bit disrespectful.

"In short, tell me if there's anything."

"Yes, I understand, Minister."

He instructed Tang Yuan like this. After he retreated, Su Zhou heard footsteps waiting outside the door.

It was Shao Qiming and Jin Qiong.

"You've actually advanced to the overlord realm. I was worried about you for several months!"

"You would actually worry about me, instead of worrying about my enemies?"

"I'm worried that you've killed too many people. That's what's scary!"

There wasn't much small talk between Su Zhou and Shao Qiming. The two laughed, hugged, and then talked about Shao Shuwenaunt's concerns during this recent period, complaining that it had been so long without news and that Su Zhou's parents were also very worried about him—they didn't say much else.

So later, Su Zhou turned his head and looked at Jin Qiong on the side, quite curious: "Little Jin, why are you here too?"

"Why can't I come?!"—This was the angry rebuke imagined in her mind, but in reality, a certain golden-winged bird didn't dare to say that.

"Because everyone is very concerned about the professor."

In reality, Jin Qiong said softly and gently, "The others are preparing for the graduation assessment recently. Sister Yeyu is in seclusion, and Wan Jing and Han Shan are also receiving training in their respective hometowns, so they entrusted me to deliver greeting cards and a small gift."

Su Zhou's teaching team had long known that Su Zhou had advanced to the Earth Immortal, so they had prepared greeting cards and gifts as congratulations early on.

Li Yeyu made a shadow small bag using the 'Tongyou' ability, which could be regarded as some kind of space equipment, but it could only hold some change at most.

Guan Wanjing sent a stone sculpture that he had made by hand. It was said to be a byproduct of controlling his power during cultivation. The image of the stone sculpture was Su Zhou's true form when fighting against the exploration ship of Planet Crowe, which was very majestic and domineering.

Li Hanshan sent a hat woven from Chongming feathers—he often saw Su Zhou wearing half a hat (transformed by Yara), and thought that Su Zhou's hat was broken, so he sent such a hat.

By the way, the hat was black.

The gifts were not heavy, and the greeting cards were not very elaborate, but they were all handmade and very sincere, which made Su Zhou feel a little moved.

He didn't expect that so many people cared about him in the few months that he had been fighting in another world... But it was not surprising, after all, it was him.

He, Su Zhou, was not a jinx. Not only were his parents alive and well, but he also had many relatives and friends. This was a matter of course!

Shao Qiming also watched with a smile as Su Zhou took the greeting card and smiled—as Su Zhou's friend who knew the most truth, he had always been worried that Su Zhou's shuttling through various worlds and fighting alone would cause him to have mental problems... But now it seemed that there was no need to worry too much.

After all, Su Zhou not only had a very strong heart, but also had a group of people supporting and caring for him. In that case, the young man would never go down a lonely road.

However, Shao Qiming seemed to have suddenly remembered something, so he made his petrified hair stand up and turn into a wooden hand, patting Su Zhou on the shoulder—because his cultivation of the Divine Tree True Body had improved again recently, so he had developed such a habit: "By the way, Azhou, there's something."

"What's the matter?" Su Zhou blinked. He knew that this was a confidential matter, so he replied using soul communication: "Confidential? If it's confidential, we'll talk about it when we get home."

"It's not very confidential. In general, Crowe Saul—you know who that is—has recently discovered a lot of anomalies in the ritual. He wants to report it to you in detail and hopes that you can find a time to meet him."

"Crowe Saul ah..."

Hearing this name, Su Zhou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Crowe Saul, the new leader of the Holy Serpent Lingdaohui, was also considered half a person who had sworn allegiance to him.

Because Yara and he were together, they had to obey Su Zhou's management if they wanted to maintain their organization.

Generally speaking, Crowe Saul would rather die than have too much communication with Su Zhou, and if Qiming had to specially instruct him, then this matter was definitely not small, and there must be some very important information.

"Go see him."

At this moment, Yara, who had been disguised as Su Zhou's tie, suddenly emerged from Su Zhou's collar, her tone serious: "That guy has some of my former information. I can vaguely feel that that matter is indeed very important to you."

Su Zhou ignored Jin Qiong's exclamation of 'How can you have a snake on your body!' and the later mumble of 'If your true form was like this, that would be great.' He raised his eyebrows, thoughtful: "Even Yara, you say so, then it seems that I really have to find some time to meet him."

At this time when pioneers, fate, and all kinds of great beings were beginning to implement their plans and change the entire multiverse... he could not ignore any seemingly subtle information.

At the same time.

Zheng Nation, Hongzhou, Hongcheng, Shao's Mansion.

In the room of a girl with a demon-repelling power of 295.

"Hey, looking at it this way, there's nothing wrong with him. The problem is with his enemies, okay!"

After watching the Qingqiu press conference and confirming that Brother Su was indeed fine, Shao Shuangyue, who was yawning and tidying her hair, couldn't help but complain: "He hasn't sent any news for half a year. He must have gone to stroke foxes, right?"

"Half a year! Do you know how I've spent the past half a year?! Do you know?!"

"I stroke foxes every day. It's so great!" She even imitated Su Zhou's tone vividly, and then planned to go to sleep: "Forget it, forget it, I have class tomorrow, I'll go to sleep first..."

This year was the year of her Holy Election Test. This semester, Shao Shuangyue had basically not played any games and studied seriously every day. Of course, this did not mean that she did not buy games, after all, sometimes buying a game was equivalent to playing it, playing it was equivalent to a unique skill, and playing it several times was equivalent to a unique skill among unique skills.

But just as Shao Shuangyue was about to get up and turn off the computer and fall headfirst onto her bed.

Suddenly, a prompt box appeared on her computer screen.
