## Chapter 2067 — The Purpose

No one spoke.
After a long silence—
Ning Mei quietly asked,
"Yang Lin..."
"...why would..."
"...your childhood friend's friends..."
"...go to..."
"...The Space Xia?"
Yang Lin calmly replied,
"Because..."
"...my childhood friend..."
"...asked them..."
"...to clear obstacles."
"High-tier beings."
"Supreme High-tier beings."
"And..."
"...unnecessary troubles..."
"...within..."
"...The Space Xia."
Silence.
Yang Lin continued,
"Remember..."
"...The Space Xia..."
"...is slightly different."
"The World of Cultivation..."
"...is the size..."
"...of a large..."
"...Universal Globic Cluster."
"So naturally..."
"...Low-tier beings..."
"...Mid-tier beings..."
"...High-tier beings..."
"...and Supreme High-tier beings..."
"...all exist out side the Universal globicclusters as you know."
"Apart from..."
"...The World of Cultivation..."
"...being that size..."
"...everything else..."
"...is exactly..."
"...the same..."
"...as every other..."
"...The Space."
Complete silence filled the control room.

The scale...
had once again exceeded everything they knew.

## Chapter 2068 — Friends from Long Ago
FeiFei quietly looked toward Yang Lin.
"So..."
"...are they..."
"...already here?"
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"Yes."
"My friends..."
"...are here."
"Although..."
"...the ones approaching..."
"...didn't speak..."
"...with me much..."
"...when we were children."

## Chapter 2069 — The Approaching Warship
Days quietly passed.
The silver light slowly became brighter.
Each passing day—
it appeared slightly closer.
A full week soon passed.
Then—
within the endless darkness—
a gigantic outline finally appeared.
Silence.
Everyone immediately stood up.
An unimaginably vast silver-and-dark-black spaceship slowly emerged from Unknown.
It resembled an absurdly enormous interstellar warship.
Its towering control centre stood high above the main hull.
Blue lights quietly illuminated its structure.
Countless figures could be seen moving inside.
Some calmly operated countless controls.
Others quietly monitored countless displays.
Below the command centre—
rows upon rows of enormous cannons stretched across the entire ship.
Six gigantic cannons pointed slightly upward toward the endless Unknown.
Many more pointed toward both sides.
Others protected the rear.
Every cannon radiated a faint blue glow.
Yang Lin calmly said,
"Those..."
"...are the weapons..."
"...I gave..."
"...my childhood friend..."
"...together..."
"...with the spaceship."
Silence.
Everyone completely froze.

## Chapter 2070 — Child's Play
Han Qing quietly asked,
"Why..."
"...do those cannons..."
"...have..."
"...a blue glow?"
Yang Lin calmly replied,
"Because..."
"...if they glow..."
"...even a little..."
"...the shot..."
"...has already..."
"...been fired."
Silence.
Everyone froze.
Yang Lin calmly continued,
"The speed..."
"...of each shot..."
"...is roughly..."
"...one hundred billion..."
"...to one trillion..."
"...light years..."
"...per second."
Complete silence filled the control room.
Yu Lianhua quietly asked,
"Do they..."
"...have..."
"...a cooldown?"
Yang Lin calmly smiled.
"Anything..."
"...I create..."
"...from nothingness..."
"...breaks..."
"...what you all..."
"...call common sense."
"So..."
"...you already..."
"...know the answer."
Silence.
No one spoke.

She was no longer as surprised as before.

were already beyond imagination.
---
## Chapter 2071 — Qin Lu
The enormous warship slowly approached.
Then—
without warning—
it stopped roughly one trillion light years away from the Arrow Cutter.
To everyone inside—
it appeared almost directly before them.
The towering command centre was clearly visible.
The countless glowing cannons below it remained aimed in every direction.
Yang Lin quietly looked toward the centre seat within the command room.
A familiar figure calmly sat there.
She possessed long, snow-white hair that flowed neatly over her shoulders.
Her fair face carried a composed, dignified expression.
Gentle crimson lips rested in a faint smile.
Her clear light grey quietly gazed forward with unwavering confidence.
She wore an elegant black outfit decorated with intricate silver patterns, matching the disciplined atmosphere of the warship.
Her posture was perfectly upright.
One hand rested calmly upon the armrest while the other lightly touched the control panel before her.
Although separated by an unimaginable distance—
Yang Lin immediately recognised her.
She calmly smiled toward the Arrow Cutter.
She couldn't see through its dark outer screen.
Yet—
she knew.
Yang Lin was sitting in the front seat.
Yang Lin calmly smiled in return through the invisible screen.
Then softly said,
"Her name..."
"...is Qin Lu."
Silence.
Everyone quietly looked toward the woman.
FeiFei softly asked,
"Who..."
"...is that..."
"...beautiful lady..."
"...sitting..."
"...at the very centre..."
"...of the control room?"
Yang Lin calmly smiled.
"Well..."
"...someone..."
"...like my childhood friend."
"To say it properly..."
"...she is..."
"...the one."
Silence.
Zhao Feng suddenly grinned.
"So..."
"...she's the one..."
"...you had..."
"...a crush on..."
"...back then?"
Gu Tian immediately nodded.
"I think so."
Daji laughed softly.
"Probably."
"But..."
"...Yang Lin..."
"...never confessed."
Shen Rui smiled faintly.
"She seems..."
"...calm."
"But compared..."
"...to Yang Lin..."
"...not quite."
Qin Mo quietly narrowed his eyes.
"She's dangerous."
Everyone silently looked toward Qin Lu once more.
Her calm presence alone...
made the unimaginably vast warship...
feel even more imposing.

## Chapter 2072 — A Question of the Heart
Silence filled the control room.
Everyone continued looking toward Qin Lu.
Her composed expression never changed.
Han Qing quietly looked toward Yang Lin.
Then asked,
"Aren't you..."
"...worried..."
"...someone..."
"...might confess..."
"...to her..."
"...or win..."
"...her heart?"
Silence.
Everyone instinctively looked toward Yang Lin.
Before he answered—
Xue Yao softly smiled.
"I don't..."
"...think so."
Su Liyulu nodded.
"No one can."
"Only..."
"...Yang Lin can."
Baiyu calmly added,
"Don't use..."
"...a finger..."
"...this time."
Su Qinglan couldn't help smiling.
"This isn't war."
"It's feelings."
Silence.
Everyone quietly laughed.
Yang Lin helplessly smiled.
"Why..."
"...say nonsense..."
"...like that?"
"I know."
"It's all..."
"...boring..."
"...kids' stuff."
The control room became quiet once more.
Everyone looked toward him.
Yang Lin calmly continued,
"I didn't..."
"...make her mine..."
"...back then."
"Because..."
"...I wanted..."
"...to see her..."
"...together..."
"...with my childhood friend..."
"...out here..."
"...in Unknown."
Complete silence.
Xue Yao quietly smiled.
Shuiluo Sha folded her arms with a gentle smile.
Han Chen nodded thoughtfully.
FeiFei blinked several times.
Su Qinglan became thoughtful.
Liao Yue smiled softly.
Xiao Rui quietly looked toward Qin Lu again.
Even Daji stopped teasing.
Everyone could tell—
Yang Lin had his own reasons.
---
## Chapter 2073 — A Familiar Call
Yang Lin calmly raised one hand.
From nothingness—
a simple phone appeared.
Everyone blinked.
He calmly opened WeChat.
Tapped Qin Lu's contact.
Then—
placed a voice call.
One second later—
the call connected.
A calm—
yet naturally cold female voice came through.
"You know..."
"...when to come."
Yang Lin had already placed the phone on speaker.
Everyone quietly listened.
Yang Lin calmly replied,
"I was busy..."
"...cultivating."
Silence.
On the other side—
Qin Lu frowned slightly.
"You only know..."
"...how to cultivate."
Yang Lin smiled faintly.
"Well..."
"...are you coming..."
"...to..."
"...The World of Cultivation..."
"...with me?"
Before he could continue—
The call ended.
Beep.
Complete silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the phone.
Qin Mo immediately frowned.
"How dare..."
"...she cut..."
"...Yang Lin's call?"
Shen Rui smiled helplessly.
"Calm down."
"Yang Lin..."
"...doesn't mind."
"So..."
"...why are you angry?"
Qin Mo quietly coughed.
Then remained silent.

FeiFei covered her mouth.
Su Qinglan smiled softly.
Even Daji laughed.
Yang Lin simply smiled.
"Well..."
"...whatever."

## Chapter 2074 — Turn Around
Yang Lin calmly typed a message.
Everyone quietly watched.
The message was simple.
**Turn your spaceship. Let's go visit her.**
Only a few moments later—
a reply appeared.
"Okay."
Nothing more.
Just that.
At almost the same instant—
the enormous warship slowly began turning.
Its countless blue lights shifted.
The gigantic cannons slowly rotated with the ship.
Then—
the incomparably vast vessel quietly departed.
Not long afterward—
it completely disappeared into the darkness of Unknown.
Everyone remained silent.

"Let's go."
Instantly—
the Arrow Cutter disappeared into Unknown.
---
## Chapter 2075 — Reunion
A short while later—
the Arrow Cutter arrived beside another spaceship.
This one—
was naturally far larger than the previous warship.
Its silver-black body stretched beyond imagination.
Unlike the previous vessel—
no gigantic cannons could be seen.
Instead—
a vast landing platform occupied its upper section.
The previous warship had already landed there.
Countless people quietly stepped onto the platform.
At the centre—
stood Yang Lin's childhood friend.
Lu Shi.
She smiled happily.
Then looked toward Qin Lu.
"Finally..."
"...you're here."
Qin Lu calmly nodded.
Then quietly said,
"Look..."
"...who else..."
"...came."
Lu Shi immediately understood.
"I know."
At that moment—
the black outer screen surrounding the Arrow Cutter slowly disappeared.
Everyone outside immediately saw the small yet mysterious vessel.
Although tiny compared to the surrounding spaceships—
everyone present instinctively understood—
the owner of the Arrow Cutter...
was someone who could never be casually spoken about.
The Arrow Cutter slowly landed.
Its door quietly opened.
Yang Lin calmly stepped out first.
Behind him—
Xue Yao.
Shuiluo Sha.
Han Chen.
FeiFei.
Su Qinglan.

And Hua Chao all stepped out one after another.
The black screen quietly closed once more.
Everyone stood beside Yang Lin.
Silence filled the landing platform.

## Chapter 2076 — Welcome Back
The moment Lu Shi saw Yang Lin—
her eyes immediately brightened.
Without hesitation—
she ran toward him.
Everyone watched in surprise.
Before anyone could react—
she happily hugged Yang Lin.
"You..."
"...are back."
Her voice carried genuine happiness.
Yang Lin smiled calmly.
Then gently returned the hug for a brief moment.
"Here..."
"...I am."
Silence.

For the first time since entering Unknown—
everyone understood.
Yang Lin had finally returned...
to the people...
who had known him...
since the very beginning.
