After the great battle with Zhi Jinqin, the pandemic, worldwide spread of the virus finally returned to normal . Without the support of the parental host body, most of the virus lost their strong infection rates instantly and were speedily eradicated as if roots without water .

Most of the humans, animals, and plants that were infected had produced antibodies on their own . Without the parental Yuri's Kiss, it was actually just a normal flu virus .

Garen brought the boat full of people back safely . Unlike the expectations of all the forces, they were not destroyed by the impact of the nuclear bomb at the final juncture . It was evident that this matter was beyond the consciousness of the various high-level major forces . However, Red Nation's Prince and Vulture No . 1 were slightly discouraged . After returning home once again, they seized control of their influences to eliminate a group of buffoons from the forces who emerged to seize their authority before retiring behind the scenes . As both of them harbored grat.i.tude towards Garen, they would occasionally meet up for a drink with him . They discovered that an old soul was concealed beneath Garen's youthful appearance . They gradually formed a teacher-student relations.h.i.+p with him that resembled Garen's relations.h.i.+p with Yuria . Additionally, they discovered that Garen could answer and explain many things to them .

Through Garen's a.s.sistance, the internal situation between Slann and the Red Nation stabilized quickly . Both countries then formed an alliance to counter the Black Federation that possessed powerful forces .

While he was waiting for Lighthouse to open their seal, Garen focused on fully digesting the large amount of Slaughtering Techniques that Slayer had given him . Meanwhile, his physical fitness rapidly increased and broke through to twenty points because of the Soul Ring's nourishment . This turned him into an actual Humanoid Universal Beast . As the rules of this universe were unusually strict, all kinds of physical strength would certainly correspond to terrifying depletion because of their physical composition .

This caused Garen to encounter situations that he had never experienced in the previous universe .

Boom boom… Hoo…

Boom boom… Shh…

Inside a gigantic soundproofed building somewhere in Slann, the sound of loud surging air currents that resembled thunder echoed occasionally . It entered and exited the s.p.a.ce over and over again like a continuous stream of water that flowed steadily .

The colossal white building was built within a military base on the outskirts of the capital . Over a thousand guards were positioned in the surrounding area to defend it . However, the guards were not there to prevent the people inside from exiting but were there to stop outsiders from accidentally trespa.s.sing .

Garen sat with his legs crossed inside the building . Black alloy boards covered the long broad stretches of empty s.p.a.ce fully . He sat upright on the center of the ground, densely-packed interchanging air holes were above his head .

Garen merely possessed the form of a muscular but normal human who was over two meters tall . However, the gentle sound of his breathing was currently accompanied by the sound of surging air currents that were as terrifyingly loud as thunder .

When most of the air and airstreams were sucked into his lungs through his nostrils, they would spurt out rapidly like cannon b.a.l.l.s after being compressed before colliding chaotically inside the building .

The clothes on Garen's back were constantly blown and upturned by the intense surging air currents as well .

Click .

The building's main door was opened slowly before Vulture No . 1 who was dressed in a white suit took long strides and walked inside . Meanwhile, Red Nation's Prince who wore a black, tight suit and a black coat followed him and entered as well .

“Brother Saber, you've become even more excessive…” Red Nation's Prince covered his ears immediately after entering because he felt that his eardrums were numb from the vibrations of the rumbles of Garen's breathing .

Both of them withstood the air currents to walk to Garen's front before sitting down with some difficulty and steadying their figures .

The wind stopped immediately when Garen held his breath . Once his body had achieved this grade, holding his breath for a few hours was merely child's play .

“Why have you come here? Haven't you been very busy recently?” Garen asked casually .

He had been here for two months already . He had been waiting for the permission on Lighthouse's part all this time to undo the limits of the virus . However, his physical fitness had undergone frightening increments that allowed him to reach an excessive degree whereby a mere breath was strong enough to send a person flying if he blew them .

On a random day when he accidentally used his nostrils to blow Nine-Tailed Fox away, he could not help but voluntarily seek Vulture No . 1's help to find a large, specialized soundproofed house for him to stay . This prevented him from accidentally using his body that was constantly getting stronger to kill the people around him as if he was merely stomping on ants .

“How could we not come? We made a special trip to visit you once we finished our hectic task . Didn't you say that you wanted to go? How is it? Have you finished preparing?” asked Vulture No . 1 directly . They had gotten along for two months without any conflicts of interest . The matters of life and death also allowed him to see many things in a clearer view . Moreover, he grew increasingly open-minded as well . Recently, he had successfully ended the matter with the previous leader with Garen's support . He was moving towards the position of the first and leading figure in Slann now . If everything went as planned, he could establish a dynasty fully within these few months .

“It's still alright . ” Garen tried to speak as softly as possible but his voice still resembled thunder while the strong air currents that he exhaled caused both Vulture No . 1 and Red Nation's Prince's clothes to overturn towards the back frenziedly . Large pools of his saliva pitter-pattered and sprayed everywhere .

“This is exaggerating…” said Prince dumbfoundedly . He wiped off the spit on his face . “Rumor has it that you can even spit and cover a person's entire face in drops of saliva…”

“I can't do anything about it…” said Garen helplessly . He was too strong and a lot of salivae would splatter and fly out whenever he was not careful . It simply resembled rain whenever he was speaking to someone else .

“What about Yuria? How is his situation?” Garen asked casually .

“That fellow has gone to the Black Federation and contacted his former subordinates . When he ran away from home in the beginning, he joined an organization that specialized in countering his father before it disbanded later . Hence, he's gone to find his old friends now . Now that his sister's gone while Garen is nothing to him and Light Path's whereabouts are unknown, I won't be willing to forgive him again even if I find him . He's all alone now,” said Vulture No . 1 frankly . “As his master, you should hurry up and keep an eye on him . ”

“Keep an eye on him? Everyone needs to experience these things . Isn't growth only experienced through endurance?” Garen lifted his teacup and sipped it gently .

Shh!

The tea moved and disappeared instantly before the teacup s.h.i.+fted directly into his mouth .

This was due to the fact that his suction was too strong . It caused the tea to move too quickly as if it had teleported and could not be distinguished by the naked eye .

“I don't think I can hang around here for more than a few days . ” Once he had finished drinking his tea, Garen placed the cup down and slowly said, “Once I leave, please take care of Li Hua and the others . This is one of my requests . ”

“No problem . ” Vulture No . 1 lifted his own teacup and drank from it calmly despite being drenched from head to toe in Garen's splattered spit . “Can you reveal where you're planning to go?”

“You wouldn't even know the place even if I told you,” Garen smiled . “You could say that it's the depths of the universe . ”

“Indeed, a freak like you would simply destroy the balance by living on this planet . I suspect that the current nuclear bombs would not be able to kill you in the explosion either,” said Red Nation's Prince bluntly .

“Nonetheless, if you ever need some help, don't forget that there are still two old fellows here who are indebted to your kindness . ”

“I won't forget that, of course . ”

Garen briefly inquired about the most recent situation regarding the management of the virus as well as the other circ.u.mstances regarding the White Crab Organization . Everything had stabilized now .

Both nations had taken confrontational stances towards the Black Federation and would not lose to them . This allowed him to be at ease completely .

Everything in this world revolved around the rotations of the Four Great Cornerstones . The heavy curtains around the stage were fully opened for Yuria who was the first generation of the Four Great Cornerstones . Perhaps in another ten years or so when the second generation of the Four Great Cornerstones reappeared and walked on the international stage, everything would begin once again .

Nonetheless, that was not a problem that Garen needed to consider anymore .

He had absorbed two of the Soul Rings that belonged to the Four Great Cornerstones of this generation . If possible, he would probably return and absorb even more Soul Rings when the time came . However, these matters would only occur more than ten years later .

The Soul Rings were symbols that the energy of this universe would condense endlessly . After it was lost, the universe's inexhaustible strength would replenish and condense it again . It was equivalent to the constant bearing of abundant fruits .

Since the Void Demon Lord Canster had already given him this world, Garen did not hold back and prepared to come and reap it once after a certain period of time . Nonetheless, before he did this, he would still want to go to Lighthouse first because he was already looking forward to visiting for a long time . He was not looking forward to Lighthouse itself but rather, the records inside Lighthouse that could provide him with Paramount Sources .

Some people referred to them as Paramount Sources while others called them Supreme Laws . However, the highest leveled powerhouses within Lighthouse purely recorded the things that they had seen and heard initially . That was the source of the Mother Stream and the spring of all life . More people referred to it as the Origin of the Mother Stream .

The Mother Stream was the strongest of the Thirteen Major Existences in the entire Countless s.p.a.ce-Time Universe . According to the sources of the records where it was stored, the Origin of the Mother Stream was a treasure that was sought after by innumerable Ancient Endorian systems .

Of course, reading the Origin of the Mother Stream required one million Contribution Points but Garen had a sufficient amount of them this time . To thank Garen for saving this world, Sea G.o.d and another person named Demonic Lamp had each transferred one million Contribution Points to him as compensation when they returned . They did this to show their grat.i.tude when they heard that he wanted to see the Origin of the Mother Stream . After all, this world would truly be in danger if Garen had not been present .

Everything was ready and he only needed to wait for Lighthouse to finally lift the restriction order before he could leave .

He strengthened the bonds between himself, Vulture No . 1 and Red Nation's Prince and set the tone properly to reap his future gains . Once both of them had left, another new group of visitors soon arrived .

It was not anybody but Nine-Tailed Fox and Kong Xinxue who were planning to travel to Lighthouse with Garen .

Garen had attended the other Transmigrator's appreciation banquet last month . He received odds and ends tens of thousands of Contribution Points which was better than nothing . He had already agreed to travel to Lighthouse with the other two people then .

However, when they came over this time, it was obvious that an additional person was hiding behind them .

“Night Water?” Garen looked at the little girl in black clothes who was hiding behind Nine-Tailed Fox .

“It's me!” Night Water stood forward openly despite feeling slightly embarra.s.sed . “As compensation for imprisoning me for such a long time, what do you think of taking me to Lighthouse with you?” she bargained with him .

“Weren't you part of an organization?” Garen looked at the three people who had walked over and were now sitting on the opposite side of him, a few meters away .

“I left . ”

“You mean you got kicked out,” said Kong Xinxue meanly . “Tsk tsk, poor child . You said you left when you were actually kicked out just for the sake of your pitiful self-esteem . Did you really think that your thoughts could be concealed so easily?”

“Is that any of your business?!” Night Water was slightly furious because of the embarra.s.sment .

“Then why do you want to go with us?” Garen was not concerned about the minor incident that was related to Night Water's previous group but merely asked the question randomly .

“Just tell me if you agree or not? After all, you've imprisoned me for such a long time and I've even helped you perform so many unspeakable tasks…” It was clear that Night Water planned to blame him .
