The most powerful cosmic-level demon servant was slain.
The remaining demon servants, led by the king-level demon servant, began to scatter. Some hid in the deep mountains, while others fled into the depths of the sea.
Zhang Pingfan did not return to his villa immediately. Instead, he went to see the supreme commander.
The supreme commander was overwhelmed with indescribable excitement when he saw Zhang Pingfan return safely.
"Good, you haven't disappointed us. You returned when we were in despair, and you killed that most terrifying demon servant!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded, but this was not a cause for celebration.
"Commander, please have people make good use of these warships. We need their technology!"
"No problem, we will collaborate with the entire world to develop these warships. After all, some things cannot be fully researched by a single country. Of course, we will also need the server's help!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded.
"However, we cannot celebrate too early. Although the cosmic-level demon dragon is dead, news of its demise will soon reach its mother. This might attract even more powerful demon servants. Of course, it's also possible that they will postpone their arrival on Blue Star out of caution. Therefore, according to my estimation, we have at least a few more years to develop our technology!"
"Mr. Zhang, rest assured. With the advanced technology of the demon servants and the guidance of the server, I believe Blue Star's technology will see tremendous improvement in the coming years!"
"Yes, contact me again if there are any issues. I need to go back and report my safety."
As Zhang Pingfan was about to turn, the commander behind him called out loudly.
"Salute!"
All the soldiers present executed a standard military salute.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your immense contributions to Blue Star. On behalf of the nation, I sincerely thank you. Thank you!"
Zhang Pingfan smiled.
He responded with a proper military salute.
"It is my duty!"
After returning the salute, Zhang Pingfan leaped into the air and flew away.
Blue Star also officially entered a state of reconstruction at this moment.
Zhang Pingfan returned to his villa, and Dou Youyou immediately threw herself into his arms.
She thought she would never see Zhang Pingfan again, never see her beloved master again.
"Master... sob sob~"
Dou Youyou cried, sobbing uncontrollably.
Because her world had once again seen the light.
"Master, welcome home!"
Zhang Pingfan smiled.
He had finally returned, but he was still very puzzled about the secrets hidden within him.
That night, Dou Youyou gave her first time to Zhang Pingfan.
She didn't want to wait any longer. She feared that she would not have this opportunity again. This time, she cherished it deeply.
Looking at Dou Youyou sleeping in his arms, Zhang Pingfan’s face was filled with affection.
"System sister, can you explain what's going on now?"
The little loli appeared and sat on the sofa next to him.
Seeing Zhang Pingfan shirtless, the little loli snorted and turned her head away.
"Hmph, can't you find me at another time?"
Zhang Pingfan said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm just full of energy and can't sleep. Besides, these questions have been bothering me all day!"
"Tch, I'll tell you what I know. And I'll also tell you what I don't know!"
Zhang Pingfan’s face darkened. How could you tell me what you don't know? Are you kidding me?
"Tell me, why did I hear the first layer of the seal being broken? What is this situation? Why do I have a seal, and that voice at the time didn't seem to be yours; it was a voice I'd never heard before. Is there someone else present?"
The system sister shrugged.
"I don't know about that. Anyway, you have a total of 10 layers of seals. Only the first layer has been unlocked, and you've already reached the peak of cosmic-level strength. If all 10 layers are opened, your strength will reach unprecedented heights! Perhaps the title of Universe Lord will be yours!"
Zhang Pingfan was stunned. This was too outrageous. In his imagination, all of this should have been arranged by the system.
"This is too exaggerated. To suddenly increase my strength to the peak of cosmic-level, I can barely believe it. How can there be 9 more seals? This is too terrifying!"
The system sister said disdainfully, "Terrifying? What's so terrifying about it? Your previous strength was far more than this. By the way, you still don't know about your past and present life. As a reborn individual, your memory is severely lacking. You need to regain your memories. Of course, we had a prior agreement: if you regain your past memories, you can't hit me!"
Looking at the little loli in front of him speaking what sounded like a fairy tale, Zhang Pingfan was dumbfounded.
But how could he possibly hit this little loli? Unless she did something heinous, but that seemed unlikely. She had been quite reliable in his memory.
"You mean I'm a reborn person? Can you tell me what I was in my past life?"
"Past life? I don't know about that. You've been reincarnated so many times, and I wasn't always aware of what you were doing. It's just that I appeared by your side this time!"
What did that mean? According to her, he had died many times.
"Isn't this a bit too fantastical!"
"Fantastical? Didn't you find the demon servants fantastical before? With Blue Star's sole technology, you wouldn't be able to discover the existence of other cosmic races at all. If it weren't for the demon servants appearing proactively, you wouldn't even know that there were other races in the universe!"
"That's true, but rebirth is indeed a bit incredible, as it goes against common sense!"
"Aren't common sense things meant to be broken? Do you know that a full-power strike from a cosmic-level expert could cause your Blue Star to collapse directly if used improperly? Does that seem to fit common sense?"
Zhang Pingfan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was now at the peak of cosmic-level strength, and he could feel that if he unleashed his full power, Blue Star truly might not be able to withstand it.
"Alright, although it's a bit absurd, at least for now, what you're saying has some credibility. Then tell me, what kind of person was I before?"
The system sister glanced at Zhang Pingfan.
"You were an arrogant, conceited, and selfish fellow who never considered others' feelings. You didn't even know how your own wife died for you. You only knew cultivation, expanding your sphere of influence through cultivation, which eventually attracted countless enemies. Although your strength was immense, you were ultimately not someone who could control the entire universe. At the last moment, you abandoned everyone and hid alone. Unfortunately, those who wanted to kill you had no intention of letting you go. In the end, you perished with them. However, what they didn't know was that you had cultivated a special technique back then, allowing you to reincarnate at the brink of death!"
Zhang Pingfan was stunned. He was such a person.
"No, that's impossible, how could I be such a person? To abandon my companions and flee alone? And who was my wife?"
The system sister pointed at Dou Youyou, who was nestled beside him.
"Isn't she? The best thing you gave her was that special cultivation technique, which allows for reincarnation. In your previous life, you failed her, but she remained by your side, never abandoning you. Little did you know that you've met again!"
Zhang Pingfan's eyes widened. This was too coincidental. His meeting with Dou Youyou was definitely a coincidence.
According to the system sister, he had failed her in his previous life, yet she had remained by his side without abandonment, and finally died because of him.
Zhang Pingfan stroked Dou Youyou's face.
"Is that so? No matter what I was in my past life, I will absolutely not let this happen again in this life. Although I'm not sure if what you're saying is true or false, I can firmly believe that I love Youyou very much. I am not the person you described. I am me, I am Zhang Pingfan!"
