Lin Qianxuan turned the tables and directly made Zhang Juan feel guilty.

[Zhang Juan (looking at you, shaking her head slightly): My problem is very serious, you can’t help.]

[Lin Qianxuan (with a determined look): How do you know without trying?]

[Zhang Juan (silent for a while, looking into the distance): Let’s go first, we’ll talk later, the guards are coming.]

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): Okay.]

You and Zhang Juan had a conversation, and ultimately decided to discuss further after returning.

You ordered an unmanned shuttle and returned to Zhang Juan’s private residence.

In the game screen, Zhang Juan used something similar to a wristwatch to call an unmanned shuttle nearby, then left with the game character.

While in the shuttle, she seemed to contact her subordinates to handle the accident caused by her crash.

Soon, the shuttle returned near Zhang Juan’s residence, and the game character and her returned to that house again.

In the living room of the house, the two sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was slightly tense.

[Zhang Juan (picking up a can of drink and opening it): I still hope you can leave, don’t get involved in my affairs.]

[Lin Qianxuan (grabbing Zhang Juan’s left hand): Juan, trust me, okay?]

[Zhang Juan (slightly stunned, pulling out her hand, showing a bitter smile): You don’t understand how difficult it is to solve the troubles on me.]

[Lin Qianxuan (earnestly): Just tell me.]

[Zhang Juan (hesitating for a while): My current situation is due to a disease caused by superpower gene conflict, and the only way to solve it is to win the sacred battle and obtain that Supreme Crystal Stone. With the energy of the Supreme Crystal Stone, perhaps I can solve the gene conflict problem within me.]

Supreme Crystal Stone.

It is the greatest reward after becoming Supreme in the sacred battle.

It is a special mineral from the Supreme Star.

Only born in the Star Core.

Every thousand years there is only a fist-sized piece, a crystal of the planet’s essence.

After superpower users utilize it, their interference value of superpowers can greatly increase, making the advancement of their superpowers much stronger.

However, a superpower user can use only one Supreme Crystal Stone in a lifetime and cannot reuse it.

So there’s no possibility to continually enhance superpower strength with this thing.

Otherwise, each Supreme wouldn’t pass it to the next Supreme during succession and would definitely keep it for themselves.

Even so, this inheritance system is considered quite fair.

After all, Supremes are not without family and friends, but since the rules of the sacred battle were established, over 12,000 years, no Supreme has ever violated these rules.

After succession, the new Supreme Crystal Stone is given to the next Supreme.

This fairness has remained until now, and no one knows exactly how it was achieved.

There are speculations online that it’s the balance of various forces, but many of the logic can’t be explained, making it hard to justify.

[Lin Qianxuan: So just become Supreme, seize the Supreme Crystal Stone and it’s solved?]

[Zhang Juan (looking at you with a strange expression): Don’t make it sound so easy. Your current strength is indeed very strong, but in the sacred battle, there isn’t only one Legendary Tier superpower user. Though your energy level is high, you’re still Palace Level, the gap is huge.]

Legendary Tier, that’s another term for the highest tier, Tier Five, of the world’s superpowers.

By the way, from Tier One to Tier Five, they are ordinary, excellent, elite, palace, and legendary.

According to the description, a Legendary Level superpower user, in terms of average destructive power alone, can easily obliterate dozens of kilometers in radius.

What concept is that?

Applied to Earth, a city with a population of more than 30 million can be directly annihilated to nothing with one big attack.

Moreover, the most important point is, Legendary Tier superpower users have powers that truly interfere with the physical laws of reality.

Before Legendary Tier, although the superpowers themselves were very unscientific, they had to follow the physical laws of the world.

For instance, when you manipulate flames, you still couldn’t ignite something if the ignition point wasn’t reached.

But Legendary Tier is different, their flames can have their own rules, even if the temperature is negative, they can still burn things to ashes.

Though this description isn’t comprehensive, that’s roughly it.

Clearly, Legendary Tier corresponds to the power of Dao Tier.

Lin Qianxuan has heard of it at Human Dao.

No matter what extraordinary path one takes, ultimately it’s about becoming a rule itself.

In the beginning, it’s all about learning from the world, utilizing its rules.

But later on, to achieve a qualitative change, one must give birth to rules belonging to oneself.

Otherwise, no matter how high the energy level is, it will ultimately be just a mortal thing.

It is an existence largely constrained by the laws of the world.

As of now, the only power of Dao Tier Lin Qianxuan has mastered is the artifact [Myriad Phenomena].

He can use Myriad Phenomena to simulate the Holy Spear, unleashing the power of Dao Tier.

But after all, he is not truly Dao Tier, so to say it can be comparable to Legendary Level superpower users might still be a bit far-fetched.

Nevertheless, he can be considered half a Dao Tier, right?

[Lin Qianxuan (earnestly): I have some ways, I should be able to threaten masters at that level.]

[Zhang Juan (shaking her head): You don’t understand, I find it difficult to explain the gap between them to you…]

[Lin Qianxuan (transforming Myriad Phenomena into Holy Spear to show Zhang Juan): I have this!]

The moment the Holy Spear appeared, Zhang Juan’s expression froze, evidently surprised that Lin Qianxuan truly had a corresponding method.

[Zhang Juan (hesitating, eventually shaking her head): Even if you have a Legendary Tier weapon, it doesn’t mean others don’t. Only a true Legend can fully utilize all the functions of a Legendary Level weapon.]

Lin Qianxuan threw an elixir into his mouth, slightly pressing his lips.

Stuck at this strength, Zhang Juan is unlikely to agree to let him help.

But at least now they’re not communicating with masks, which counts as progress.

Let’s first gather more information from her and improve our abilities while we’re at it!

Otherwise, even if Zhang Juan agrees, he might still find it difficult to truly help her in the Supreme War.

[Lin Qianxuan (nods): I understand, I won’t trouble you.]

[Zhang Juan (turns her head towards one side): Thank you for remembering me, but these things are not something you can intervene in. When you go back, please pass my regards to the dean. If he asks, just say that I’ve been doing well over the years, it’s just that work is quite busy, so there hasn’t been time to return home.]

Zhang Juan seems to have resigned herself to her fate.

After all, resolving her current problems is incredibly difficult.

[Lin Qianxuan (looks at Zhang Juan): Sister Juan, what exactly did you experience after leaving the foster home? Why have you become like this?]

[Zhang Juan (hesitates for a moment, then shakes her head slightly): Just went through some trials, you don’t need to think too much. If you still acknowledge me as your sister, then don’t ask further.]

Her level of affection isn’t high enough, Zhang Juan is clearly unwilling to recount her experiences.

Currently, her attitude towards Lin Qianxuan remains somewhat distant, considering that they have only recently reunited. Rebuilding the level of affection probably requires some effort.

Lin Qianxuan understands that directly asking her is still somewhat challenging, so he considers another approach.

[Lin Qianxuan: Sister Juan, could you give me a communication wristband? I’d like to learn more about this world’s circumstances.]

[Zhang Juan (nods): I have spares; I’ll go get one for you.]

After speaking, Zhang Juan gets up and heads to her bedroom, retrieves a brand new, unopened wristband, and hands it to the game character.

She then instructs the game character on how to use it.

The communication wristband is akin to a smartwatch.

However, its advanced technology far surpasses that of a smartwatch.

A small red metallic wristband, featuring non-medium holographic projection, high-density energy battery, and ultra-reliable communication signal reception and transmission capabilities, among others — all surpassing a smartwatch’s capabilities.

Once the game character puts it on, under Lin Qianxuan’s command, it activates, projecting a virtual, semi-transparent screen on the wrist, which appears highly futuristic.

[Zhang Juan (looks tired): You play around with it first; I need to rest and alleviate my internal condition.]

[Lin Qianxuan (nods, takes out some elixirs for Zhang Juan): Sister Juan, these elixirs are useful for you, right? Just take them all; I have plenty more.]

The game character takes hundreds of various elixirs out from Qiankun Space and uses air manipulation to make them all float in mid-air.

[Zhang Juan (hesitates for a moment, then collects them): Thank you.]

With a wave of her hand, Zhang Juan takes away all the elixirs, though it’s unclear where she stored them.

[Lin Qianxuan (smiles): Why thank me? Aren’t we pals?]

Hearing this, Zhang Juan’s expression noticeably changes.

[Zhang Juan, upon hearing your words, feels touched and recalls some past memories.]

[Zhang Juan’s String of Destiny connection degree is at 18%.]

Zhang Juan nods slightly, says no more, and directly turns around to enter the room.

She still seems intentionally avoiding excessive interaction with the game character.

She doesn’t want to involve him too much in her affairs.

Lin Qianxuan also clearly senses her attitude.

This kind of thing shouldn’t be rushed.

It’s already quite good that this experience has slightly eased the relationship between the two, allowing for normal exchanges at least.

If one tries to achieve too much too quickly, it might backfire.

The priority now is to first query more detailed information about this world.

Lin Qianxuan inputs commands, directing the game character to start searching online for foundational world information.

During the rapid browsing, he learns a lot.

The affiliated immigrant planets of Supreme Star, the class conflict in Supreme Star’s Upper and Lower Cities, and Zhang Juan’s situation.

Indeed, Zhang Juan turns out to be quite well-known online.

Because of initial planning, Supreme Star was divided into Upper and Lower Cities.

Upper City is akin to a floating city in the sky, or rather a nation.

The entire city houses close to a billion people, with world-leading productivity and technology.

The Lower City is where Zhang Juan and others reside.

The population here is close to twenty billion.

Ninety-nine percent are the societal underclass.

They are Tier One superpower users.

Their productivity and other abilities are exceedingly low; the sole hope lies in birthing a child with excellent genes who could awaken high-tier superpowers, allowing them to potentially leap into the Upper City world through the next generation.

However, this lottery chance is evidently not high.

The more at the societal bottom, the more they can only produce offspring.

The more offspring they have, the harder life becomes; the harder life becomes, the more offspring are produced, causing the population in the Lower City District to explode.

Of course, given this world’s productivity, supporting these people is not a challenge.

The problem lies with management.

Here, it’s chaotic, filled with various crimes.

Upper City residents consider themselves superior, indifferent to the petty populace of the Lower City District.

They let them be, so a rather crude order arises here.

That’s the jungle law: the strong govern, defeat and hold ground to claim your territory.

Every area is divided, each having rulers with absolute authority — the uncrowned kings in their territory, whose decrees everyone must obey.

And Zhang Juan is surprisingly one such king, and one who rules an extensive area in the Lower City District, nominally managing a population exceeding a billion.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that due to her excessively authoritarian ruling methods and her non-human-like appearance, she is called a “Witch”!
