I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"Captain Xuren, you should leave too... Something evil is coming."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ren, though still confused, immediately nodded, casually leaving behind the words "Be careful," before turning and quickly leaving.

In the entire White Raven base, only Xue Jing remained, staring at the strange eye in the black hole ahead.

"Why……"

Xue Jing looked thoughtful.

He was certain that the eye in that black hole had only him as its target.

Although it was an intuition without any basis, at this point in his life, intuition was no longer a misperception, but a special means of perception with extremely high accuracy.

but why?

What exactly are those eyes, and why is he the target?

Did you target him only after you saw him? Or... did you already have him in mind before you even saw him, and came from another world specifically to find him?

If it's the former, then it's not surprising. He is extremely special, and it's perfectly normal for some beings who can sense his specialness to be interested in him.

But if it's the latter... then things get a bit scary.

This means that, outside of this world, some beings from other worlds have their eyes on him.

Moreover, it possesses the means to descend across worlds.

Xue Jing's gaze was serious. He did not choose to run away, but waited quietly for the unknown alien creature that was about to arrive.

Although he sensed danger, he had many tricks up his sleeve and was not afraid. Even if he couldn't win, it didn't matter.

The most important thing right now is to figure out the situation.

If he really did descend from another world specifically to find him... then when did that happen?

He had previously talked to a taxi driver and learned that the "high frequency of boundary earthquakes" phenomenon in this unfinished building area in the South District had existed for more than ten years, which was why it became an unfinished building. At that time, he didn't even know if Xue Jing had been born yet.

However, the area that was officially developed into a region where overlap was possible at any time was only four or five months ago.

"and many more."

Xue Jing's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

More than ten years ago... exactly how many years?

He took out his phone, opened a search engine website, and started searching.

Enter keywords such as 'Qingcheng', 'South Suburbs', 'Jiezhen', and 'Unfinished Building'.

Soon, skipping over some irrelevant information and advertisements, he found a news report titled "New Development Zone of Kochi Group Confirmed as High-Risk Area for Border Earthquakes".

Without looking at the specific content, Xue Jing looked directly at the time the news was published.

250 6 Month 21 Day.

It's five days after Xue Jing's birth date.

Instantly, a chilling sensation rose from the soles of his feet and gradually spread throughout Xue Jing's body.

"Is it a coincidence... or..."

Xue Jing's pupils contracted.

If it's a coincidence... then it's far too coincidental.

He was born, and this region immediately became a high-risk area for tsunamis. Now, in the center of this region, something evil, targeting him, is about to descend upon the world.

It's hard for Xue Jing not to overthink things.

"The BOSS said that it is extremely troublesome for beings in different worlds to interfere with each other. Even superstring beings like the Other Gods have very limited interference with the present world."

"If an otherworldly being had targeted me long ago and wanted to do something to me, then it's very possible that they started preparing from the moment I was born and only managed to interfere with the present world now."

The more Xue Jing thought about it, the more horrified he became.

He composed himself and his expression turned serious.

"Whether it's true or not, whether it's excessive paranoia or not... there's only one thing to do now."

He stared at the black, round, hole-shaped crevice that had expanded to the size of a fist, and met the gaze of that eerie eye.

"Try to get as much information as possible from this thing."

There are beings from other worlds who have been watching him since birth.

This possibility made Xue Jing feel uneasy for the first time.

Ever since he obtained the panel and activated his first divine skill, he has always believed that as long as he develops steadily, he will one day be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods with his mortal body.

But now it seems that things have never been stable.

Although powerful forces such as the Secret Martial Arts Society, the Thirteen Great Chambers, and the Otherworldly God Cult harbored ill intentions towards him, Xue Jing was never particularly worried about them.

One reason is that he has powerful backers, and the other is that he firmly believes in his personal strength to eventually crush them completely, giving him ample confidence in his future.

But this time, what's targeting him is different.

That's a distance that can cross two realms, and it's possible that it had its sights on him as early as a decade or more ago, when he was just born.

Xue Jing felt as if he had been drawn into something terrifying.

"We can't be completely ignorant about this; we need to find a way to get enough intelligence, otherwise we won't have any initiative at all."

Xue Jing sat cross-legged, quietly waiting for the creatures from the other side of the black hole to arrive.

This will be his only possible source of intelligence at present.

Time passes slowly.

……

Qingcheng University, seventh floor of the library.

Wu Youqing, unusually, did not read a book, but stood by the window of the attic, quietly facing the direction of the south city.

She had her hands behind her back, one hand gripping the wrist of the other, her pale purple, crystal-like eyes unfocused, as if she were deep in thought.

A match was burning in the crack of the window, the red and blue flames seeming to burn more intensely than ever before.

In the dim light, a small, almost invisible shadowy figure was close to Wu Youqing, its hands resting against the window, seemingly also looking in the direction of Nancheng.

“…Thousand… Compassion… Omnipotent… Forgetfulness…&…”

The petite figure emitted intermittent, almost inaudible sounds, mixed with a lot of background noise, making it difficult to hear clearly.

Wu Youqing seemed to have heard her clearly. She shook her head and said:

“I have no way to leave here for the time being, so he can only rely on himself… Don’t worry, this is just the beginning. According to my estimate, he should be able to handle it easily.”

"...Hesitation...Mom...Please...Dad..."

Wu Youqing reached out and twirled a strand of long hair in front of her, saying:

"According to what you said before, the future will be narrowed down to a relatively small number of possibilities. The possibility that he will run into trouble now is not much higher than the possibility that the universe will be destroyed in the next second. Why are you still worried?"

"...Dad...don't..."

Wu Youqing sighed: "...If you are really born in the future, I will never let him raise you. We'll see how things go when you grow up."

Upon hearing this, the small figure seemed to panic, and the noise it emitted suddenly increased significantly:

"...No...I want...no...no...Dad...doesn't agree...he's the most...divorced...marrying..."

Wu Youqing said expressionlessly, "You can actually say something like that. It seems my decision was correct."

"...No...please..."

Wu Youqing snorted: "Don't even think about it."

“...I want...Aunt Wanwan…”

Wu Youqing gave a cold, emotionless snort: "Nobody can help you."

Faintly, the petite figure seemed to emit intermittent, aggrieved sounds, like sobbing.

Wu Youqing rubbed her temples, a slight headache on her face, a hint of helplessness showing on her pretty face:

"...Forget it, I don't think this will work either. If we meet again when we're older, there's more likely to be problems."

She pondered for a moment and said, "It might be better to find a way to make you born as a man. That way, at least his attitude won't be a problem..."

The petite figure stopped crying, seemingly smiling:

"...completely...not denying...acknowledging...nothing..."

Wu Youqing was slightly taken aback, a blush creeping onto her face, and she glared at the petite figure:

"You've got me hooked!"

……

"Boom-thump-"

A regular, strange vibration began to emanate from the black hole in the center of the unfinished building area.

At this point, as time went on, the black hole, which was originally the size of a fist, had expanded to nearly one meter in diameter.

Strangely, when the black hole was small, the eye inside it was about the same size as the black hole itself. Now that the hole is a meter in size, the eye has also grown proportionally to about a meter in size.

Xue Jing glanced at the testing equipment that hadn't been taken away by the White Raven members; it displayed [ER: 68.61%].

After thinking for a moment, he snapped his fingers, and black energy condensed in the shadows, transforming into a two-meter-long jet-black greatsword that floated beside him.

He applied the Feather Transformation technique, circulated his energy, and then used the Mahayana Flying Sword technique to unleash the 'Secret Technique: Finishing Touch'.

Xue Jing pointed, and the pitch-black greatsword vanished instantly, creating a sonic boom at supersonic speed as it pierced towards the eye in the black hole.

"Goo-"

When the greatsword came into contact with the eye, it was as if it had plunged into the water, creating only ripples before being swallowed by the black hole and disappearing, while the eerie eye remained completely unharmed.

For some reason, the upper and lower eyelids of that eye moved closer together, as if it were smiling.

They are mocking us.

"You bastard." Xue Jing chuckled as well.
