"If it weren't for the chairman's orders, I wouldn't have to conceal myself, and you definitely wouldn't be getting off so easily."

When he finished speaking, Leng Wanbai's face showed palpable pain. This sight made the group of Spine-eating Gu secretly delighted, and strengthened their impulsive drive to eliminate Qin Shou.

"Alright, since Lord Leng has made such a huge sacrifice, it wouldn't be right for us to decline her goodwill. I'll join this mission!"

"Count me in too, for the sake of avenging the chairman..."

"I'm participating as well! Whoever devours Qin Shou becomes the acting chairman!"

"Exactly, devour Qin Shou!"

"With a twenty-minute opening, Qin Shou is definitely doomed..."

"I'm heading to South America right now..."

"Me too, I'll arrive shortly. Let's sabotage the transmission array first..."

The group of Spine-eating Gu excitedly shut off the video feed, clearly having set off into action.

Lord Leng glanced at the three calm faces on-screen but knew deep down that they had also been swayed.

Nightmare Nine Stars-level Spine-eating Gu!

They were originally ordinary Spine-eating Gu, and had only ascended to Nightmare Nine Stars by utilizing the Ultimate Spine-eating Gu method.

When it came to bloodlines, they were still far inferior to the Perfect Spine-eating Gu.

It was not that the Ultimate Spine-eating Gu couldn't cultivate a Perfect Spine-eating Gu; the primary reason might be the Ultimate Spine-eating Gu's fear of something, which prohibited the existence of the Perfect Spine-eating Gu.

This secret was never disclosed by the Ultimate Spine-eating Gu, so when Leng Wanbai appeared with the Perfect Spine-eating Gu, she easily infiltrated the ranks of Spine-eating Gu without arousing any suspicion.

Of course, the three Nightmare Nine Stars-level Spine-eating Gu did not take Leng Wanbai seriously, as their power far exceeded hers.

The three Spine-eating Gu exchanged glances, and sharp sparks involuntarily flickered in their eyes.

The battle in South America was destined to be a battlefield between the three of them.

Those Spine-eating Gu below Nightmare Nine Stars hadn't even crossed their minds.

Whoever could devour Qin Shou and acquire his Talent Ability would experience an enormous surge in combat power and become the new king!

Leng Wanbai smiled knowingly and turned off the video feed.

...

Three days later.

West City Transfer Room.

Qin Shou turned and glanced at the massive crowd outside the room and the countless cameras, then helplessly covered his face.

"Vice Principal, isn't this setup a bit much?" He peeked at Qin Wen through his fingers.

Qin Wen chuckled, "This is a global broadcast. Complete this mission, and you'll be the most dazzling star on Earth. Aren't you happy?"

Qin Shou curled his lip, "Who would be happy about being bait? Are you crazy?"

"Relax, everything is already prepared. All you need to do is lure out all the Spine-eating Gu and hold on for a few minutes before we reach South America." Qin Wen patted Qin Shou's shoulder.

"A few minutes? Even at Nightmare Nine Stars-level speed, wouldn't it take at least twenty minutes?"

Qin Shou wore a "you're pulling my leg" expression.

Qin Wen smirked mysteriously, "That's the backup plan left by Father. Do you really think we'd let you take such a risk alone?"

Leaning closer, Qin Wen whispered to Qin Shou, "Father said you are Earth's future Supreme Strong."

Qin Shou raised an eyebrow, "The principal has that much confidence in me?"

"Of course."

Qin Wen nodded. "But the fact that you possess demigod-level talent is known only to a handful of people. Even the other supreme beings don't know. Don't let it slip, or it'll cause big trouble."

Qin Shou pondered this, "Vice Principal, are you implying... that supreme beings aren't entirely trustworthy either?"

Qin Wen sighed, "People's hearts are unpredictable. Many things have changed over time. If Elder Long wasn't holding things together, Earth would probably still be in chaos!"

Qin Shou made a gesture to signal his understanding.

He reflected silently; if this were the case, it seemed like the plan for his South American mission would need some adjustments.

...

Under Qin Wen's relentless campaign, now every video platform and television station worldwide was streaming live footage of the West City Transfer Room.

Countless humans stared at the young man on the screen, their gazes brimming with a mix of emotions.

Admiration, envy, jealousy, worship, disdain...

"Honey, honey, come look! They've captured our boy looking so handsome!"

"Haha, of course! Do you even know whose boy this is?"

"Look at you! But seriously, our boy is famous worldwide now. He'll have no trouble finding a wife in the future for sure..."

"You're forgetting—our boy already has a girlfriend, Leng Wanbai from the Long Family."

"Eh, having a few more isn't necessarily a bad thing."

"Then can I have... Ouch, ouch, I'm joking! I only want you!"

Qin Guofang and Hua Ping's daily banter filled the air as Long Xia looked on, completely unfazed.

Long Xia tapped open the communication screen, his expression serious.

The video's comment section had already spurred speculation about Qin Shou's current situation.

[ID Devouring Sky Saint Kun: Sigh, Qin Shou looks impressive now, but whether he makes it back safely is another story.]

[ID Xiao Kong: Kun, what do you mean by that?]

[ID Devouring Sky Saint Kun: Think about it carefully. Can't say much here—PM me.]

[ID Xiao Kong: Alright...]

[ID Phantom 343: Kun, PM me too?]

[ID Devouring Sky Saint Kun: Sure, happy to share sixty-five cold facts.]

[ID Ze Yeyang: Kun, I think I know who you are.]

[ID Li Yongsheng: Kun, I know you too.]

[ID Devouring Sky Saint Kun: Heh, am I that famous?]

[ID Yuan Xie Star: Kun...]

[ID Jiatan Jiee: Kun...]

[ID Devouring Sky Saint Kun: ???]

[ID Xiao Kong: Obviously, they don't know you.]

[ID Devouring Sky Saint Kun: ...]

[ID Light Giant Long Xia: Everyone, you're off-topic.]

...

South America, Underground Transmission Array.

"Buzz..."

Light flickered, and Qin Shou's figure slowly materialized.

"Zzzzz..."

Appearing alongside him were several high-definition camera drones shaped like bees.
