    Chapter 315

    Wasn't Spatial Exile simply throwing someone into the unknown depths of the universe?

    It was actually quite simple.

    Su Hao only needed to continue experimenting with different Spatial Wave frequencies. As long as he could resonate with a matching frequency somewhere in the universe, he could create a pair of Twin Spatial Modules. Activating the Positive Spatial Module and sending someone through it would count as a successful exile.

    As for where they would ultimately appear...

    Even Su Hao had no way of knowing.

    There was a very high chance they would simply be cast into the endless vacuum of space, drifting forever as frozen corpses until some enormous celestial body eventually captured them with its gravity.

    The concept of a Space Barrier was equally straightforward.

    If Su Hao arranged a large number of Positive Spatial Modules around himself while placing the corresponding Negative Spatial Modules elsewhere, then the moment an attack entered the barrier, activating the Positive Spatial Modules would instantly teleport the incoming attack to another location.

    Of course, this was still only a theoretical concept.

    A true spatial defense technique still required a great deal of research.

    As for Spatial Severance and Spatial Positioning, Su Hao had no concrete ideas yet.

    Those would have to wait for future research.

    While experimenting with different teleportation techniques, Su Hao unintentionally transported himself to a small village in southern Zhongzhou.

    Looking around, he found himself surrounded by rows of cucumber trellises. The vines were covered with plump, emerald-green cucumbers that gave off a refreshing fragrance.

    With a thought, Su Hao reached into empty space.

    The surrounding space rippled slightly.

    The cucumbers hanging from the vines suddenly disappeared and appeared directly in his hand.

    After rubbing away the tiny spines, Su Hao took a large bite.

    The crisp, refreshing taste instantly spread through his mouth, satisfying his craving.

    Reaching into his pocket, he discovered he hadn't brought any money.

    After thinking for a moment, he reached into Marble Space and casually pulled out a handful of banknotes.

    "...Too much."

    He selected a single one-hundred-yuan note before returning the rest to where it had originally been.

    After another moment of thought, he reached out once more, took out a sheet of paper and a pen, and neatly wrote:

    "Payment for the cucumbers."

    He folded the note together with the money.

    Scanning the surroundings, Su Hao quickly located the elderly woman tending the vegetable field some distance away.

    He quietly sent a tiny Negative Spatial Module into the woman's pocket.

    Then, activating the nearby Positive Spatial Module with his mental power, he instantly transferred the folded note and money into her pocket.

    Only then did he feel completely satisfied.

    Ever since mastering spatial teleportation, Su Hao found himself wanting to use it for everything.

    It was like giving a child a brand-new toy.

    No matter how much he played with it, he simply couldn't get enough.

    Jumping down from the large rock where he stood, Su Hao continued wandering through the fields while happily eating cucumbers.

    After a while, the surrounding space distorted slightly.

    The next instant...

    He disappeared.

    Thousands of kilometers away, inside the laboratory at the Huaiyuan Base...

    Su Hao quietly reappeared.

    Still wearing his slippers, he casually pushed open the laboratory door and walked into Yashan's study.

    Inside, Yashan was frowning over an advanced mathematics problem.

    Hearing the footsteps, he immediately relaxed.

    "Boss Wei, you're back."

    Su Hao casually handed him two cucumbers.

    "Freshly picked."

    "Try them."

    Yashan accepted them without hesitation, took a huge bite, and immediately exclaimed,

    "So refreshing!"

    Su Hao smiled.

    "How's your studying going?"

    Yashan scratched his head helplessly.

    "Complex analysis..."

    "It's really difficult."

    Su Hao chuckled.

    "It only feels difficult because you haven't mastered it yet."

    "Once you understand it, it'll seem quite simple."

    "It's almost summer vacation."

    "Let's go back to Morning Sun Courtyard."

    Yashan blinked in surprise.

    "Go back?"

    He found it rather unexpected.

    Usually, he was the one suggesting they return during the New Year.

    He hadn't expected Boss Wei to suggest returning during summer vacation instead.

    Su Hao nodded.

    "It's been almost four years."

    "We should go back and have a look."

    "And..."

    "I have a few things I want to investigate."

    He wasn't particularly worried about the remaining rebels.

    Three years earlier, after the massacre in Paradise Town, the threat posed by the Rebel Association had dropped dramatically.

    Combined with the protection provided by the Management Bureau, Sister Bai and the others were relatively safe.

    Su Hao knew perfectly well that only part of the Rebel Association had been destroyed.

    Many members had undoubtedly escaped.

    However...

    Those survivors were unlikely to seek revenge anymore.

    Most of them had already lost the courage to confront the Rebel Butcher.

    After all, the greatest advantage they once relied upon—teleporting freely between the Main Star and the Secondary Star—had already been rendered useless.

    As for revenge...

    That was even less likely.

    They might willingly sacrifice their own lives for their beliefs.

    But risking their lives merely to avenge companions who were already dead...

    That was another matter entirely.

    Those companions were comrades.

    They were not the rebels' faith itself.

    Since the catastrophe three years earlier that nearly wiped out the organization, rebel activity around the world had almost disappeared.

    The number of child abductions likewise plummeted over the following two years.

    Unfortunately...

    The peace didn't last.

    By the third year, reports of missing children once again began increasing around the world, causing widespread outrage online.

    Yet the remaining rebels remained extraordinarily well hidden.

    Countless furious netizens could do little more than vent their anger behind computer screens.

    Once again...

    The World Federation became the target of everyone's criticism.

    Its officials were practically going bald from the pressure.

    Meanwhile, Su Hao had been quietly considering a way to eradicate the Rebel Association completely.

    Every time he remembered the horrifying fate of those abducted children...

    A chill ran down his spine.

    Yashan nodded.

    "Alright, Boss Wei."

    "I'll pack a few things."

    "We can leave whenever you're ready."

    Su Hao himself had nothing to prepare.

    Thanks to his spatial storage technique, everything he needed was always within reach.

    Yashan, however, wasn't so fortunate.

    When he spoke of packing...

    He actually meant packing books.

    The shelves lining his study had become his greatest treasure.

    Ever since discovering the joy of learning, he couldn't go a single day without reading.

    After obtaining the Prophet talent, he had finally understood what people meant when they said that knowledge itself was its own reward.

    Su Hao smiled.

    "No hurry."

    "We'll leave in a few days."

    "Before that..."

    "We should change our appearance."

    "The Black Crystal Armor is too conspicuous."

    Yashan froze briefly before suddenly understanding.

    "The Life Bearer?"

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Exactly."

    Seven days later, after several failed attempts, Yashan finally evolved once more, reaching the peak of the Extraordinary rank—

    Level Seven Extraordinary, Life Bearer.

    The long-lost feeling of overwhelming power once again filled his body.

    For a brief moment, he almost felt as though he had returned to his previous life, standing once more as the supreme object of worship within the Vermilion Sect.

    He couldn't help muttering,

    "Boss Wei..."

    "I'd almost forgotten this feeling."

    The more Yashan studied over the past three years, the more deeply he appreciated the terrifying breadth of Su Hao's knowledge.

    Even after immersing himself in countless scientific disciplines, he still couldn't understand how Boss Wei had once evolved into a Life Bearer using nothing more than a needle.

    It simply...

    Wasn't scientific.

    Once Yashan succeeded, it was Su Hao's turn.

    Three days later, Su Hao also completed his evolution into a Life Bearer, obtaining a completely transparent, diamond-like Crystal Armor.

    Now, if anyone accused him of being the Rebel Butcher, he could confidently deny it.

    "I'm not the Rebel Butcher."

    "Stop spreading rumors."

    "My armor is made of transparent crystal."

    Several days later, Su Hao and Yashan flew side by side, skimming just above the ground toward Yongxin City in Zhongzhou.

    Flying at high altitude would certainly have been faster.

    Unfortunately, it would also have made them easy targets for military radar.

    Being mistaken for incoming missiles would have been rather troublesome.

    After seven or eight hours of continuous flight, they finally arrived outside Yongxin City.

    Landing quietly, they entered the city on foot.

    Over the past several years, Yongxin City had hardly changed.

    In fact, cities throughout the world looked almost identical to how they had years ago.

    It seemed that once civilization reached a certain technological level, further development naturally slowed.

    This state had continued for at least thirty years.

    Morning Sun Courtyard was no longer what it had once been.

    It had become the Morning Sun Adoption Center.

    Driven by commercial investment, it had expanded into an institution providing education from early childhood through elementary school.

    The atmosphere was far more formal than before.

    Some warmth had disappeared.

    In its place were orderly systems and regulations.

    But to Su Hao...

    None of that mattered.

    When Sister Bai first saw the two handsome young men standing before her, she froze.

    "Who are these two handsome boys?"

    "...Why do they seem so familiar?"

    Smiling, Su Hao greeted her softly.

    "Long time no see, Sister Bai."

    Yashan also smiled.

    "Good afternoon, Sister Bai."

    Although both of them had long since entered adolescence, traces of their childhood voices still remained.

    The moment she heard them speak...

    Recognition flashed across Sister Bai's face.

    "Jingzhong! Jingyi!"

    Her eyes immediately reddened.

    "It's us."

    Without caring about appearances, Sister Bai rushed forward and hugged Su Hao tightly before embracing Yashan as well.

    After taking a few steps back, she carefully examined the two boys.

    Suddenly, she burst into laughter.

    "Where have you two been all these years?"

    "It's wonderful that you've come back."

    Only then did she realize...

    The two little boys who once barely reached her shoulders had already grown taller than she was.

    Wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes, Sister Bai laughed heartily.

    "Come."

    "Let's find your little sister first."

    "Then I'll take you somewhere."

    Yashan asked curiously,

    "What about Brother Husheng?"

    Sister Bai's smile stiffened almost imperceptibly.

    Pretending not to mind, she replied,

    "He left Morning Sun Courtyard two years ago."

    "He's married now."

    "He even has a child."

    "He's doing well."

    "So there's no need to worry about him."

    Although her tone sounded casual...

    A trace of bitterness still lingered beneath her words.
