Thousands of miles away, Qin Long chuckled lightly, "That old man got forced to show his true power so soon."

Lu Sihua thought deeply for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Lao Qin, have you ever used a Giant Stone Statue?"

Qin Long took out the Dark Glasses and tossed them to him, saying, "This is the Dark Giant Stone Statue, similar to that kid's Light Energy Giant Stone Statue. Honestly, to us, it's just a useless trinket.

What's the matter, you want it?"

Lu Sihua shook his head. "No, I'm just curious. Since Qin Shou has already advanced to the Demigod Realm, why does he like using this method to fight?"

Qin Long was stunned. "Right! That kid is only twenty-one this year, unlike us old fossils from the Old Era. Using Giant Stone Statues probably isn't out of sentimentality..."

...

Atop the mountain peak, the Light Giant radiated golden Light Particles all over his body. His hands crossed on the crystal upon his forehead, and the dazzling golden Light Energy surged again.

"Buzz..."

The golden Light Energy projected onto the sky full of spatial fractures. The vast Light Energy pulled at the space, slowly mending the cracks.

In the sky above, Zhang Qianqiu saw this, his expression became grave, and light flashed within his brow. The Steel Torrent collided and gathered into a towering 300-meter Mechanical Monster.

Mechanical Godzilla!

Qin Shou's eyes glimmered. Goodness, why do so many people enjoy imitating the King?

"Roar!!"

Mechanical Godzilla's steel-fin-like dorsal fins on its back flared out segment by segment, drawing upon infinite dazzling Cosmic Energy outside Earth that coalesced into terrifying crimson Energy within its maw.

"Boom!!"

In an instant, crimson Light Energy shot out. A deep reverberation shook heaven and earth, like the descent of a burning sun, accompanied by an enormous spherical spatial fissure aimed directly at Qin Shou's giant body.

"Rumble..."

Before the burning sun fell, the ground was already trembling violently, and signs of collapse began to appear on the mountain peak.

"That old man really has no regard for the planet; the Kunlun Mountain Range is the Huaxia Dragon Vein!"

Qin Shou smirked, spreading his arms wide as infinite Light Energy surged from space directly into the Energy Light on his chest, then condensed into a linear blast that fired with an L-shaped gesture.

Zapelli Beam!

"Zzzt zzzt zzzt..."

The golden Light Beam collided with the burning sun. The extreme Energy fluctuations were obliterated entirely by the spatial fissures.

In the next instant, both the golden Light Beam and the burning sun vanished. Mechanical Godzilla blasted off energy from its back as it hurtled toward Qin Shou in an attack labeled "Tai Mountain Pressing."

"Thunk!!"

The Light Giant channeled all his golden radiance into his right fist. Qin Shou struck out, unleashing explosive force equivalent to millions of tons, cracking the earth beneath him, temporarily halting Mechanical Godzilla's downward momentum.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, Mechanical Godzilla wailed. Qin Shou turned his right fist into a claw, grabbing hold of a component on Mechanical Godzilla's abdomen.

Over-the-shoulder slam!

"Rumble..."

Mechanical Godzilla's head plunged into the ground, with half its body buried deep into the earth.

"Clang clatter..."

Mechanical Godzilla emitted a low growl as it transformed back into a Steel Torrent and soared into the sky, circling around Zhang Qianqiu.

Qin Shou rose to his feet, gazing upward at Zhang Qianqiu surrounded by the Steel Torrent, as he raised his hand and curled his finger in a taunting gesture.

"You..."

Zhang Qianqiu's aged face darkened, ready to challenge Qin Shou to an interstellar battle of three hundred rounds outside Earth.

On Earth, neither he nor Qin Shou could afford to unleash their full potential.

Although battles between Supreme Strong entities won't destroy a planet outright, a careless slip could trigger catastrophic disasters on Earth, causing harm to both sides.

At this moment, Lu Sihua flew between the two of them, intercepting their confrontation.

"Haha, Old Zhang, let's call it quits here. We have serious matters to discuss!" Lu Sihua grinned as he tried to mediate.

Qin Long landed on Qin Shou's shoulder, "Kiddo, that's enough. If you keep going, that old man might lose his dignity."

Qin Shou turned his head. "Principal, you're done watching the show?"

Qin Long smirked. "How much is enough to enjoy? This kind of spectacle—when can you truly get your fill?"

Qin Shou rolled his eyes and exited his giant form.

Zhang Qianqiu snorted coldly, and casually reclaimed his Steel Torrent.

The four of them returned to the Kunlun Mountain Peak. After a brief silence, Lu Sihua, playing nice as always, began to speak. "Qin Shou, or should I say Principal Qin, your abilities are undeniable. From now on, we're all part of the same team. Lao Qin, Old Zhang, you have no objections, right?"

Qin Long naturally had no issues, while Zhang Qianqiu glanced at Qin Shou and forced a stiff smile. "No problem."

Lu Sihua nodded, "Alright then. The resources originally belonging to the Origin faction will now go to Principal Qin. Additionally, the Three Major Cities will need to allocate two parts of their resources to the Mechanical Main City. After all, the Origin faction was weak and gained too little resources back then."

Afterward, the four of them discussed the specifics of resource allocation. Qin Long then turned to Lu Sihua and Zhang Qianqiu, giving them a slight nod before looking at Qin Shou.

"Qin Shou, do you know why Earth participates in the interstellar battlefield?" Qin Long asked seriously.

Qin Shou stroked his chin. "It shouldn't be just about resource plundering, right?"

Qin Long nodded. "That's correct. Before now, your strength wasn't sufficient, so some things couldn't be revealed to you.

But now you've become Earth's fifth Supreme Strong, and you're qualified to learn the truth."

As he spoke, Qin Long raised his wrist Communicator, as virtual images began to scroll continuously.

"We refer to this planet as the interstellar battlefield, whereas the natives call it the Heavenly Artifact Continent."

"Heavenly Artifact Continent? Quite a fantastical name." Qin Shou scratched his head.

Qin Long continued, "The cultivation system of Heavenly Artifact Continent is far more sophisticated than Earth's. Practitioners of the Unbreakable Realm are countless, there are nearly a hundred Demigod Realm entities, and there even exist beings with power comparable to Elder Long's terrifying strength—the Gods!"

"Gods?"

Qin Shou was stunned; he surmised they must be Divine Realm Experts.

"Yes, Gods!"

A flicker of awe flashed in Qin Shou's eyes, but he quickly masked it.
