Mars and Olivios returned to their motherland, Arbiter. To be honest, Wang Zheng liked the temperament of the Arbiters. They would gladly fight their enemies to the death no matter how strong their enemy was. To defend their motherland was their greatest honor.

Jondi Lilick headed to Manalasuo. He might not be able to influence Manalasuo, but Jondi knew just how much General Bolet admired Wang Zheng. He might not be able to affect Bolet’s decision, but he had to at least let General Bolet know the truth, which might have certain influence on the strategies deployed by Manalasuo.

Meng Tian wanted to go back to the Solar System, and Yuan Jing and the rest were going to follow her. They had sworn to fight for Meng Tian. Wang Zheng was going to return to Tita, but he had to return to the Solar System first due to the current situation. He needed more first-hand information.

Old Merchant wasn’t going to return to the Solar System. He was headed directly for Titatitan Star. The Saint was only after Wang Zheng, so it was safe for him to head to the Solar System. However, Old Merchant’s identity was too sensitive. It was impossible for him to wash off the perception that he was one of the Saint. Once this was made known, both Aslan and the Saint would come knocking on his door. Titatitan Star was a good place for him to hide. Aslan and the Saint had no energy to care about him as long as he didn’t reveal his location.

Yuan Jing and the others had finally met “The One.” They weren’t satisfied with him before because they hadn’t met him. Now that they had experienced some things together, they realized that this person was really calm. He knew he would be attacked by the Heaven -rank master who might even be the strongest man in the universe. Yet he still dared to put himself in danger so that they could save Meng Tian.

Wang Zheng, Meng Tian, and the rest had embarked on the journey to the Solar System. It was obvious that many in the spaceport were tense. A good many soldiers with live ammunition were around. It was the eve of war, and the Milky Way Alliance had lost its role and had now become the generator of Aslan. That was unfavorable towards the Arbiter Republic.

Meng Tian finally got into contact with Meng Ao. He might be stern, but his vibe was that of an overjoyed father.

Perhaps those of military background couldn’t express their feelings well, but Meng Ao didn’t say much. “Wang Zheng, come back quickly. I’ve sent a military craft to fetch you all, just in case.”

“Yes, General!” Wang Zheng said respectfully.

Meng Ao did have many other things he wanted to say, but it wasn’t the right occasion. It could be seen from his face that Meng Ao must have been really tired all this while. Being worried about Meng Tian and about the Saint. It had become a world war in the blink of an eye. The Solar System’s position was very difficult. There was internal strife between those who wanted to remain neutral, Meng Ao and his people, and others who wanted to side with the Aslan Empire. Aslan was “being forced by the situation,” what else were they going to wait for?

However, that wasn’t what Meng Ao and his people wanted. Something was definitely wrong with Kashawen’s operation this time. Arbiter might be ambitious, but it was highly impossible for them to make such a huge move. They didn’t believe it. Meng Ao hadn’t revived the Solar System just to sit on the fence.

Coupled with the early warning from the Solar System, they decided to be neutral. They took the opportunity to test it out and to determine the direction of the Solar System. Would they continue to plummet, or rise up again?

Meng Tian smiled. She’d died once, so her perspective of the world was different now. Previously, she might’ve felt that her father was indifferent, but she could feel her father’s care this time. His eyes were moist, but he held the tears in. She could finally understand.

“Wang Zheng, thank you!” Meng Tian suddenly said.

“I think there’s no need for it,” Wang Zheng said. Meng Tian’s appearance hadn’t changed much, but he knew that her heart had changed. It now felt very natural and easy to be around her.

“Do you know what I want to thank you for?” Meng Tian asked playfully.

A girl that used to be cold had suddenly become so cute. Wang Zheng couldn’t help but be stunned. This was the only girl that Wang Zheng had had relations with, so it would be a lie to say that he didn’t have any feelings. Wang Zheng wasn’t God. He was just another human and, honestly, he was still rather weak when it came to the affairs of the heart.

“Don’t think too much about the current situation. Let’s plan ahead after we understand more about the situation back in the Solar System!” Meng Tian said.

Wang Zheng laughed. “You think too highly of me. This is war, I’m just a mech warrior. I can only do my best to protect my homeland and my friends!”

“Am I included?” Meng Tian asked.

Wang Zheng nodded without a trace of hesitation, making Meng Tian smile radiantly. “The Aslan Empire isn’t almighty. The key to this war lies in whether or not the Arbiter Republic can withstand the first wave of Aslan’s attack and also Atlantis’ stand. The outcome is still unknown.”

“The coalition forces might be huge, but Arbiter’s fleet and ground defenses are the best in the Milky Way Alliance. The strength of the coalition forces lies in number, but to kill Arbiter in one blow? I don’t believe it.” Wang Zheng could feel the pride and hardworking nature of the Arbiters from Mars. They were strict with themselves. This was the general feeling of the whole country. Some might think the people of this country were boring, but their true strengths could only manifest during war.

“War is just the big picture. Many factors could affect the outcome. Don’t belittle your own power. Individuals have been able to change the course of history many times. I think you can. I think it’s really important to us if you can balance the power of these Saint masters.”

The biggest problem of the Solar System was that they had no Heaven-rank warriors. Neither the Lie family nor the Doyle family had someone like that. They only had a special class, but that wasn’t enough. The Sage might have reached it, but his ability wasn’t for battle. They were in a precarious state without a Heaven-rank warrior.

“I’m still quite far away from Heaven-rank. Otherwise, I would have just gone to save you.”

“You are my master, I believe in you. Your disciple is so good anyway,” Meng Tian said encouragingly.

Memories suddenly swirled through them. The first close contract when imparting the breathing technique, even really being together. These were all deeply etched memories with no embarrassment, only warmth. There was even a sense of plain happiness between them.

Meng Tian had never regretted it, even when she entered the petri dish. The time they were together was the happiest moment of her life because she had no regrets.

If the heavens were to give her another chance, she would stay by his stay quietly, just to see and feel him. This memory was the most precious to her.

Wang Zheng wasn’t stupid. Both of them could feel the connection they had. No matter what, it was great that Meng Tian was still alive!
