III Fanwai

"On November 8, 2017, according to the galactic calendar, Marshal Ji Xiuyun of the Empire of Sintes was attacked and disappeared for a week. He returned safely with the existence that saved his life — the last cat in the universe, which is the savior of the vast fairyland today."

On the podium, a history teacher was talking about the knowledge from the books.

"This is the projection record of that time."

Sitting in the classroom was a group of children with baby fat buns on their faces. They were looking at the projection of a man and a cat on the podium with bright eyes.

In the eyes of children, "heroes" were always a topic that would never fade away.

Who didn't have a model of the Nine-Tailed Cat at home?

Who didn't have a big poster of the Silver Blade and the Thunderclap at home?

Children who didn't have these at home would be laughed at by other children!

So basically, everyone had them at home.

In addition, sculptures and small decorations of the two could be seen everywhere in the city.

On November 8, 2017, according to the galactic calendar, it was a very important historical turning point for the creatures in the universe today.

On that day, they welcomed back the hero who had saved the entire universe.

The race that had been hidden for a long time found the savior they had been waiting for for tens of thousands of years. Then, they spent 300 years to crack the forbidden areas of the universe one by one and buried the seeds of hope left behind from ancient times.

This universe that had lost its celestial aura after the collapse of tens of thousands of years ago was like a phoenix that had been reborn from the fire. It spread its wings and sang its song.

Since then, the hidden talents of humans began to recover, and the power of genes was gradually grasped by humans.

The awakened humans began to seek their own strength. As the hero's lover, Ji Xiuyun, who was also a human, gave some cultivation methods to the higher-ups of the human race and roughly told them about the relevant matters.

Later, the humans with talents began to explore their own potential, while the ordinary people who didn't awaken their talents were spurred by a strong sense of crisis and worked harder to study science and technology.

More than 5,000 years had passed since that era. Humans had evolved from science and technology to a society that paid equal attention to both science and technology and mystery.

In the process of history, people smoothly accepted the existence of monsters. Although there were occasional conflicts, the two sides maintained a good relationship due to their affection for the Nine-Tailed Cat.

Nowadays, flying machines and magic tools could be seen flying side by side. Cultivators could also be seen following behind the top students of the Horticulture Department, helping to grow all kinds of plants according to the designs.

There were also cultivators who worked in security companies or worked in the government's traffic safety department, providing a considerable amount of security for ordinary people's caravans and passenger ships.

This was the education policy that had been set at the beginning.

Children were taught from a young age that there was no difference between demons, ordinary people, and cultivators. They were all part of society.

Cultivators and demons had powers that ordinary people did not have. Therefore, the contributions they made to society and the rewards they received were higher than ordinary people.

Correspondingly, their jobs were more dangerous.

Risk and reward coexisted.

The state apparatus held the resources and the highest combat power in their hands. They ruled the cultivators in the same way as they ruled the ordinary people. They controlled the cultivation resources, and there was no trouble for thousands of years.

The cultivators had completely accepted the fact that they had to go to school as well. As their cultivation base rose, their grades would rise and they would be able to obtain the next level of cultivation technique.

Only by paying would one be able to reap the rewards. This method of ensuring social stability was very consistent with the cycle of karma, so the cultivators did not raise any objections. Instead, this method of paying off both sides allowed them to boldly do the work that ordinary people could not do.

They did not have to worry about owing others karma, and they could also obtain cultivation resources. This was a very cost-effective thing for the cultivators.

The brainwashing from a young age made everyone subconsciously think that there was no difference between them. It also instilled the idea that capable people should do more work, and that they had to bear the social responsibilities corresponding to their social status. After the polishing of time and the imperceptible influence of the environment, this rare model of harmonious coexistence was finally formed.

Then, under this premise, they worked together to explore a new, higher-level universe.

After all, if resources were used up once, there would be a second time. Even if they were revived once, they could not predict what the distant future would be like.

The person who came up with this wonderful idea was Yue An, who was regarded as a hero by both humans and demons.

The hero cat, who was the common hero of both humans and demons, was currently pulling his partner to pack up the things in the house and prepare to go on a long journey.

This universe was very big. If one really wanted to have fun on a planet, they could play around for two to three years.

A few thousand years had passed, and Yue An and Ji Xiuyun had not explored the entire universe. However, Ji Xiuyun was wearing the identity of a space explorer and had a considerable influence among both humans and cultivators.

As one of the few remaining Immortals, Ji Xiuyun was very aware of the importance of his legacy.

Every time he and Yue An went to a planet, the first thing they did was to evaluate the spirit energy, resources, and difficulty of survival. Regardless of whether it was suitable for ordinary people or cultivators to cultivate, when they were done exploring a planet, they would completely record it down. Then, they would post it on the social media account under his alias, and announce it in detail.

Occasionally, they would also take videos or photos.

For example, they would take photos of the shadow holding hands with Yue An, their interlocked hands, or take photos of the meal for two people or other things.

Although they did not show their faces, they had perfectly achieved their goal of feeding the masses of interstellar people dog food.

Now, they were preparing to go out again.

Their destination was a little special. It was the passage to the Heavenly Gate that Yue An had accidentally found while rummaging through ancient records.

Simply put, it was a passage from the Celestial World to the mortal world.

According to the description in the records, it should be a long and dark wormhole passage. However, when the Celestial World collapsed, the wormhole also collapsed.

"Why are we going there?" Ji Xiuyun asked. "You can't open a wormhole. Even if you can, you might not be able to open it back to Earth."

Moreover, when the last batch of humans left the universe where Earth was and entered here, Earth's resources had already dried up and it was close to death.

After a few thousand years, no one from the Lower Realm had become an immortal. Basically, it could be said that the Heavenly Gates had all collapsed. To form a new stable wormhole that connected two different universes, it basically depended on luck.

Those who could become immortals in the Lower Realm basically cultivated to a certain level and could sense the location of the wormhole. They would try their best to open a wormhole to leave that relatively inferior plane and come to this universe.

This was the process of becoming an immortal that people in the past generally knew.

Actually, Yue An did not know what they were going to do there.

He just felt that they should go and take a look.

Yue An put away the wooden fox and nine-tailed cat carvings on the table, thought for a moment, and said, "We're going to pay our respects to the ruins."

After saying this, Yue An added, "I feel that something will happen there."

Yue An had already become an immortal and joined the Fighting Faction. However, the nine-tailed cat was born with a natural affinity for fate.

After he said this, Ji Xiuyun decisively caught the cat that pounced on him and turned to walk out.

Yue An poked its head out of Ji Xiuyun's collar and placed its two front paws on his lapel. It raised its head and gently rubbed Ji Xiuyun's chin.

Ji Xiuyun rubbed back a few times and quickly got on the flying device that was parked at the foot of the mountain.

They were currently living on the top of the mountain in the demon race's territory. They alternated between living on the eastern and southern slopes. Ji Xiuyun had developed an astonishing cooking skill a few years ago and focused on feeding his cat.

If not for the fact that Yue An had long ago abstained from eating and that food would turn into spiritual energy when it entered its stomach, it would probably have been fed until it became a big fat cat.

They were very free.

After solving the problem of the immortal world and no longer equating becoming an immortal with seeking death, the demons wanted nothing more than to worship the two of them. Meanwhile, under Yue An's orders, they scattered and left the demon race's territory. They relaxed and ran out to find a new way out.

Back then, the mortals could find the immortal world. Therefore, it was very possible that the immortals could find a higher level of the universe.

Without any worries, the powerful demon immortals entered the wormholes whenever they saw one. When they felt that something was wrong, they retreated. They did not find a passage to a higher level of the universe. However, they discovered many stable wormhole routes, which made it much easier for humans to travel.

Ji Xiuyun and Yue An wanted to help, but they were stopped by the demon immortals every time.

According to them, Ji Xiuyun and Yue An were now the spiritual pillars of the demons and humans. They should be more mysterious and maintain their legendary image. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yue An and Ji Xiuyun also knew their importance as spiritual symbols. They could only accept their fate.

They squatted in the demon race's territory to farm and cook. Occasionally, they would go on the Star Web. When they were really bored, they would sneak out for a walk or two. They even had to take a dangerous detour under the watchful eyes of the demons.

Although they were a little restrained, their days were still very pleasant.

Now that they were going to take a look at the Elysium ruins, they even said that something might happen there. Ji Xiuyun and Yue An were so bored that they almost had salt in their mouths. Thus, they packed their bags and slipped out.

There were quite a number of Heavenly Gates ruins. Ji Xiuyun, Yue An, and a few other demons they met along the way looked at them one by one.

Some were on a certain planet.

Some were in a void.

Some were in a meteorite belt.

Yue An looked at the ancient books and visited all the scattered Heavenly Gates ruins. In the end, he discovered that there was still a Heavenly Gate. It was in the depths of the demon race's territory.

Yue An looked at the ancient books. The more he read, the more he had a premonition that something was about to happen.

He made a prompt decision and returned to the demon race with Ji Xiuyun. He brought along a group of demon fanboys and girls, and while he was at it, he also dug out the fox, who was enjoying herself among the humans, and ran like a swarm of bees to the depths of the demon race, where demon traces were rarely seen.

"In the year 7421 of the galactic calendar, the nine-tailed cat who saved the universe once again broke through the dimensions of the universe with her lover and her race. They went to a higher level world."

As the bell rang to signal the end of the class, the teacher on the podium turned off the holographic projection. He smiled at the excited students.

"Work hard to develop your talents and concentrate on cultivation. The place where the heroes go will be your final destination!"

"Then, class dismissed!"
