Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 707 - 365: Elder Long’s Girlfriend_2

"No way, it's said that Qin Shou is always full of schemes. Who can guarantee he's not trying to lure us out to wipe us out completely?"

"That... might be possible. But we can't just do nothing, can we?"

"Let me think... Oh, right! If we withdraw from the Monster Planet battlefield, could we..."

"No, even if we retreat from Monster Planet and show weakness, that kid's temperament wouldn't let us off!"

"Then we'll have no choice but to fight."

"Fight? People already said we're no match for him; that's courting death."

"Sigh, then what should we do? We can't beat him, and withdrawing from Monster Planet is useless. Begging for mercy is out of the question, isn't it?"

"Yeah, and if we call him Big Brother, where does that leave our dignity?"

"Since that's the case, there's only one option left."

"What option?"

"Run. Far away. Disconnect the transmission array of Monster Planet. With our power, we can move the planet to the depths of the universe, making it impossible for him to find us."

"There's no other way..."

The two discussed for a while, then each returned to Drue Planet and Giant God Planet to prepare for evacuation.

Meanwhile, on the Desolate Planet, Qin Shou remained lying motionless. The dazzling star river slowly submerged the giant body, while Nuaxin draped a thin veil over him.

Soon after, Leng Wanbai arrived to take Qin Shou back to Earth.

...

West City.

As soon as Qin Shou appeared, reporters swarmed him.

"Principal Qin, could you tell us when you advanced to the Divine Realm?"

"Principal Qin, do you have any future plans for the Mechanical Main City?"

"Principal Qin, we heard you've been sick recently. What illness could a Divine Realm expert not resist? Is it contagious..."

"Principal Qin, what's your secret to maintaining victory?"

Leng Wanbai was just about to dismiss the reporters when she suddenly heard this question. Her face instantly changed.

It's over.

The next moment, the sound of sobbing came from beside her.

Tears filled Qin Shou's eyes. The secret to victory—he wanted to know it too!!

...

West City, Sky Island.

When Qin Shou returned, his eyes red, he saw Qin Long had been waiting for him for a long time.

Looking at Qin Shou's current state, Qin Long shook his head and sighed.

"I didn't expect it to be this serious. As the principal, I'm really curious—did you actually los..."

"Cough, cough, Principal, shush!" Fang Bao quickly reminded him.

Qin Long's old face darkened. Even the word couldn't be mentioned—this must be the latter stages of melancholy.

"Student Qin Shou, don't worry. It's just depression. It's easy to cure. Go find Elder Long; he should have a solution."

Qin Shou drooped his eyelids and replied with a faint "Oh," then suddenly sighed deeply.

"I'm so tired. Where's Elder Long?"

"Pluto."

...

At the edge of the Solar System, Pluto: a planet as dead as it gets.

Endless glaciers stretched out, littered with monster corpses already turned to stone. The remains of various bizarre alien life forms could even be seen, half-buried within the ice, making the deathly silent, airless, soundless, and chilling environment even more eerie.

At some unknown moment, a slouched figure, ignoring the laws of physics, walked atop the glaciers.

"Mom... Dad... see this? This is Pluto."

At this moment, Qin Shou manipulated the Power of Time with his fingertips, maintaining the signal of the communicator as he weakly rotated the camera toward the surrounding environment.

In the video, Hua Ping and Qin Guofang gazed in fascination at Pluto's scenery, intrigued.

"We see it, we see it. So, this is Pluto! And look at all those alien corpses. Hey, honey, we should travel to Pluto someday!"

"Alright, alright, that's a good idea. But there aren't any hotels there. We'll need to prepare a capsule apartment."

"Yes, yes—and food, supplies, clothes, oh, and we haven't updated our social groups for ages. If we travel to Pluto, all those relatives and friends will definitely be envious..."

Qin Shou:"..."

Seriously, sending a sick man to scout vacation spots—do you even care?!

"Hanging up." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Qin Shou disconnected the communicator with a sigh.

When will this life ever end!

He reminisced about the vibrant days of youth, the rush of running under the setting sun—that was my fading youth...

"Buzz..."

At that moment, ripples spread through the Void, and Elder Long's figure appeared before Qin Shou.

"Xiao Qin, why're you so late? There's no traffic along this route." Elder Long chuckled.

Qin Shou shuffled lifelessly forward and slightly bowed.

"Elder Long."

"Mm, follow me."

Elder Long waved his hand, and the glaciers and corpses vanished instantly as the two arrived at Pluto's Earth Core. Familiar black and white energy painted the entire Earth Core World.

"The junction of the Light and Dark River!" Qin Shou's eyelids twitched, but he quickly reverted to his dim expression.

Elder Long said, "Correct, this is the junction of the Light and Dark River, as well as its center."

He walked along the riverbank of the Light and Dark River, his expression solemn.

"All these years, I've been suppressing the center of the Light and Dark River. One of my purposes was to wait for your arrival."

"Wait for me? For what?" Qin Shou's gaze revealed doubt.

"Of course, to wait for your return from Mirror Planet."

"Mirror Planet..."

Thinking about the Magic Mirror, Qin Shou started feeling ill again.

Elder Long sighed and used the Time Law to suppress the gray aura within Qin Shou's body.

Qin Shou's complexion improved slightly, gradually returning to normal. His entire being felt unusually refreshed.

Effortlessly quelling the power of lethargy—it showcased just how terrifying Elder Long's mastery of the Time Law was.

"Elder Long, how did you know I would definitely return from Mirror Planet?" Qin Shou asked gravely.

Elder Long's face turned mysterious as he gazed at the turbulent boundary of the Light and Dark River.

"Wanna hear my story?"

"Not wanting to... is impossible." Qin Shou smirked awkwardly.

"You brat—it'd be better if you stayed melancholic forever!" Elder Long chuckled, mockingly.

Then, Elder Long took a deep breath and began speaking slowly.

"I remember back in the Old Era, in the year 2025, I was just an ordinary university student with a fair-skinned, beautiful girlfriend..."

"Cough, cough, Elder Long, no need to mention your girlfriend. I know I'm single." Qin Shou muttered.

"Haha, my bad, let me start over."

"I remember that year, the city suffered a massive earthquake. When I first saw Godzilla, the terrifying Titan Giant Beast towering over a hundred meters high, my worldview was completely turned upside down.

That time, many people died—so many...

As Godzilla, Mutant Monsters, and King Ghidorah continued to emerge, the world became increasingly chaotic, and warfare and hatred among humans erupted completely...

I was very fortunate to meet a friend with extraordinary power. He wasn't much older than me, yet he could control the monsters to save the world.

I considered him my best friend and even introduced him to my girlfriend...

One day, he told me he was leaving—heading to a faraway place.

I didn't know why back then. Overcome with emotion, I inexplicably awakened a great power.

It wasn't so much an awakening but rather breaking a seal.

He told me that I was born a god, destined to bear an unshakable burden.

After that, he vanished.

And I resolved to take his place in protecting Earth and safeguarding my hometown.

Within a mere few years, I suppressed all Titan Giant Beasts, and the world regained peace.

I always remembered his words: when human technology develops to its peak, it will bring destruction. So, I continued to suppress the development of human technology from behind the scenes.

But a hundred years later, Earth was invaded by alien life. At that time, my power was suppressed by an unknown force and couldn't intervene.

To give humanity a means of self-preservation, I handed Mecha technology to them. That time, humanity successfully defeated the enemy using their own strength.

Afterward, I restored Earth's technology to its state from a century ago.

But within another hundred years, Earth faced a fresh crisis: mutations in Earth creatures, alien invasions, the Galaxy Alliance discovering Earth, and humans continuing to feud among themselves.

During this latest crisis, my seal was completely broken, and my power reached its peak. Before I could intervene in Earth's disaster, I was rejected by Earth and forced to leave.

I shared my research on human evolution, hoping they could save themselves.

But as Earth's situation grew ever more complex, I was compelled to give Mecha technology and all the Beast Cultivation Technology I'd developed over the years to humanity.

Because of this, I trained Little Dragon and the others, helping save the Earth from near extinction.

Whether introducing these innovations to Earth will result in the destructive end he predicted—I still don't know.

I've lived in constant fear all these years, until I found you, Qin Shou." Elder Long smiled kindly.

"Why?" Qin Shou asked absent-mindedly.

If Elder Long's words were true, then his so-called friend must have been the previous System Owner!

Elder Long was nothing more than a pawn in shaping that person's worldview.

Elder Long might have realized the truth long ago, but he simply refused to believe it—deceiving himself.
