90: Chapter 90: Meeting the Parents? A Blueprint for Cosmic Civilization!

Soon.

The call to Mentor Zhu Tianzheng was quickly connected.

After a brief greeting, Li Fan anxiously explained the situation regarding his parents and his grievances with the He family.

At the same time, he also quickly expressed his hope for the Beidi to intervene.

Zhu Tianzheng listened patiently to Li Fan's words, remaining completely silent throughout.

Only after Li Fan finished making his final request did Zhu Tianzheng respond.

"Ahem, alright. I will make arrangements for your parents' situation; you don't need to worry."

"You don't need to worry about the He family either. If they dare to pull any petty tricks, someone will deal with them. You just focus on your cultivation. Oh, come see me in a couple of days; I want to test some new things."

After hanging up the call,

Zhu Tianzheng wore an expression of mixed feelings, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Asking the Beidi to protect Li Fan's parents?

Could there be a more absurd request?

However, since those two had chosen not to reveal their identities to Li Fan, he naturally didn't expose them either, so he agreed to the request.

When he thought of the He family, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

The current He family was practically indistinguishable from being non-existent.

...

Returning to Li Fan's side.

After ending the call, Li Fan finally felt completely relieved.

With Zhu Tianzheng helping to handle things,

He no longer had to worry, for the time being, about the He family retaliating against his parents.

However, he still needed to visit the He family as soon as possible.

This time, as long as he could deal with that Saint-level Elder of the He family, that would basically be enough.

The remaining matters would be handled by the other families in Tianlin City.

But exactly how to meet the He family's Saint-level Elder required careful consideration.

Just as Li Fan was lying on his bed in deep thought, a knock sounded at the door.

He opened it.

The person who came was Gu Ling.

At this moment, Gu Ling's face was slightly flushed, and she looked timid, not daring to meet Li Fan's gaze. Simultaneously, she was holding her phone, clearly having just finished a call with her family.

"Lingling, what's wrong?" Li Fan asked, feeling a bit curious.

With that expression on Gu Ling, could it be that she had something important to say?

Gu Ling didn't beat around the bush, pursed her lips, and said with a hint of shyness,

"My parents said they want to meet you."

Upon hearing this,

Li Fan couldn't help but freeze.

Good heavens?

Was this time to meet the parents?

For a moment,

Li Fan's old face flushed red. Although he had lived two lives, combined, he didn't have a shred of experience meeting a future father-in-law.

"Oh, okay. When?" Li Fan scratched his head and asked about the time.

Gu Ling thought for a moment and replied, "My parents said it depends on your schedule. Whenever you are free."

Li Fan nodded, starting to calculate in his mind.

In the short term, he likely wouldn't have much time. He needed to go test new things for Zhu Tianzheng, and he also had to pay a visit to the He family to wipe them out. Furthermore, the seed program would probably have some progress in the next few days.

Afterward,

Gu Ling didn't return to her own room but spent the night in Li Fan's arms.

The experience of surviving a disaster made Gu Ling cherish this 'white moonlight' she had secretly loved for three years even more.

...

In the blink of an eye,

Time came to the second day.

At noon, the major universities brought their students home one after another, while also holding a simple memorial service for the students who died during the crisis.

Of course, the compensation would not be lacking.

Everything proceeded according to the established procedures.

In the afternoon,

The Ten Great Universities officially issued a joint statement.

Besides announcing that the results of this Freshman Cup were void and would not be held again, the content also heavily praised Li Fan.

However, Li Fan didn't lack such empty fame.

Because Li Fan's deeds in the Secret Realm had already spread, topping the trending searches on all major platforms.

Li Fan was now the hottest young figure in all of Great Xia.

And appearing at the top of the trending searches alongside Li Fan,

Were the keywords Oceanic Alien Race.

For the Citizens of Great Xia, and even for all of humanity, this was the first time they had seen an alien race with intelligence that could speak human language.

Although in the Tianxiang Secret Realm, the human faction represented by Li Fan had crushed the alien race with an absolute advantage,

The appearance of the alien race still caused widespread panic among the masses.

In many places around the world, rumors and inflammatory public opinion had already surfaced. In the USA, there were even extreme situations where many people ignored order and started riots.

Regarding this situation,

At seven o'clock that evening,

Led by Great Xia, countries around the world successively released a statement regarding the alien race.

"Everyone must now be aware of the existence of the Oceanic Alien Race. Here, it is time to announce the truth of this world to everyone.

Since the recovery of spiritual energy and the appearance of Secret Realms, it is not only us humans who have gained powerful abilities, but also those ancient creatures from the ocean...

Their existence has become the main threat to our exploration of the vast ocean and the countless Secret Realms within it...

Twenty years ago, we discovered a strange Secret Realm in the shallow sea area. This Secret Realm contained no fierce beasts or any other life forms, only a stele containing the truth of Blue Star.

In this vast universe, our Blue Star civilization is not alone; life is found everywhere in the cosmos. It is a vast world of cultivation, and such a universe is cruel.

According to the most basic law of the universe, only one species is allowed to exist on each cultivation civilization planet, and that species must prove it has sufficient potential. The specific method to demonstrate this is by passing the Civilization Assessment.

Simply put, if our Human Race passes the assessment first, the Oceanic Alien Race will be erased by the laws of the universe, and we will become the sole species on Blue Star, entering the Cosmic Civilization System. The opposite is also true.

However, everyone need not worry. The time for the primary Civilization Assessment has not yet arrived. We only need to live our lives as usual and defend against the incursions of the Oceanic Alien Race. Moreover, even if the time truly comes, we are confident in passing the assessment ahead of schedule, so please do not panic..."

...

This statement was very long.

But the information it contained was explosive!

It almost completely overturned the entire human race of Blue Star's understanding of this world!

Cosmic Civilization?

Primary Civilization Assessment?!

Was this truly the familiar world they knew?

Instantly,

This statement sparked heated debate globally.

The first reaction of the masses was astonishment.

The subsequent reactions varied.

Some were optimistic, beginning to envision the cosmic blueprint.

Some were pessimistic, sitting on the ground weeping in despair.

Others fell into confusion, starting to ponder whether the things they were currently doing held any meaning.

The only ones who only showed brief shock upon suddenly learning such news before returning to normal were Li Fan.

After all, he was a Transmigrator.

If transmigration itself exists,

Is the notion that the universe is filled with cultivation civilizations truly hard to accept?

As for the sense of crisis,

Li Fan truly didn't feel much.

Although he didn't know the content of this Civilization Assessment, he was completely capable of severely wounding the Oceanic Alien Race, allowing humanity to dominate the assessment.

If that failed,

The worst-case scenario would be for him to reveal his power publicly, then devise a way to wipe out the alien race in one fell swoop at their lair.
