"It's fine, which timeline we go to first doesn't matter. We'll have to visit them all sooner or later anyway," Qin Ning said.
"Master, if that's the case, I think there's something we absolutely must add. Since we'll be traveling through different dynasties anyway, why not destroy the Wokou (Wo-kou/Wa-kou) nation in every emperor's reign? Let's make that our main mission," Zhu Yuanzhang suggested.
"No problem there. Every time we travel, you'll lead the troops, and the weapons will be in your hands. Whatever you decide to do is up to you," Qin Ning said with a faint smile.
"Then Master, where should we go next?" Li Shimin asked.
Qin Shi Huang quickly interjected, "Isn't it obvious? Of course, we should go to my Second Emperor Qin, Hu Hai. That unfilial son, I will not let him off. And Zhao Gao—when the time comes, I'll bring a deer to him. I'd like to ask him whether that truly is a deer or a horse."
The group drank and chatted until late at night before each went their separate ways and slept.
The next morning, Qin Ning woke up. The room was messy, with torn clothes scattered everywhere. Yang Xin, Su Xingwan, and the others were still sound asleep in bed.
Qin Ning didn't wake them. Instead, he got up to brush his teeth and wash his face.
He went downstairs and was eating the breakfast Qin Ning had made when suddenly the phone rang.
He picked it up and saw Elder Zeng's name on the caller ID.
"Hello, Elder Zeng, what's the sudden call about?" Qin Ning put the phone to his ear, eating a baozi while speaking.
He heard Elder Zeng's laughter coming through the phone, sounding very cheerful, "Haha, I hope I didn't disturb your rest, young man?"
"Of course not. You know me, Elder Zeng—even if I don't sleep or rest, nothing will happen to me," Qin Ning said calmly.
"Here's the thing. We recently achieved a major technological breakthrough through our cooperation with Weixing and Sate Star. Those Iron Man-style battle armors have gone into mass production. With the combined efforts of three civilizations, we can produce at least eighty to a hundred suits per day."
"They run on nuclear power. With these suits, we can conquer any part of the universe we want. No one can stop us."
"That's great," Qin Ning nodded.
"This means that even when I'm not around, Earth won't have to worry about invasions from other civilizations. However, aside from technology, cultivation must not be neglected. As I always say, technology should take the lead, but cultivation serves as the fallback plan for true invulnerability."
"Don't worry, I know. Right now, the cultivation base has trained quite a few cultivators. With your help, Earth's cultivation environment has improved significantly. Even an old man like me is almost ready to become a Condensation Realm powerhouse," Elder Zeng laughed heartily.
The two chatted for a while longer on the phone, then Qin Ning said, "Send me some of those battle suits first. I plan to give one to each era. With this gear, every timeline can be easily subdued."
"No problem. I'll produce a hundred a day and save the next ten days' output for you," Elder Zeng said.
...
Time passed.
A month went by in the blink of an eye.
Twenty days earlier, Elder Zeng had delivered the thousand battle suits. Qin Ning distributed them to various dynasties. If the emperor was wise, he gave them directly to the ruler. If the emperor was a tyrant, he deposed him and sent someone from a later era to take over, giving the battle suits to a trusted person to lead the people and develop the era.
About two years later, at the Liushi City villa district,
Everyone gathered. Qin Ning, Qin Ning's sister, spoke with reluctance, "Brother, do you really have to leave?"
Qin Ning nodded, "I'm going back to the cultivation world. I spent five years there before, and there are still some things I need to deal with, and some people waiting for me."
"But don't worry. Although the cultivation world is in a different dimension from this world, with my current cultivation level, I can return anytime I want. I promise to come back to visit you all once a month."
"That's good to hear," Qin Ning said seriously.
"Alright, I'm off now. Don't all get teary-eyed. Didn't I say I'd visit once a month?" Qin Ning smiled faintly, patted his sister on the head, and bid farewell to everyone present. Without hesitation, he leaped up, his body soaring into the endless sky, embarking on a new journey.
