Rest?

Roams was dumbfounded. He couldn’t believe Leo would say something like that.

However, facts were facts. Leo was stating the truth.

“Alright. I see. I don’t need you. I can finish the space station on my own. You can leave now,” Roams said indifferently.

He was used to doing research and making constructions all by himself. When he didn’t have human labor, he would build robots to help him.

!!

Robots could replace the people he needed. He would never stop looking for Mr. Soan.

Leo left without saying another word.

“Damn it!” Roams suddenly lost his temper and swept all the files on the table to the floor. As if that wasn’t enough, he stepped on them repeatedly.

“Why is this happening? Damn it! Why?!

“Mr. Soan, where are you? Why won’t you come here? How am I supposed to do any research? Have you gone back to the seventh age?” Roams suddenly had a bold idea.

That was right!

Mr. Soan was from the seventh age, so it was understandable that he went there. Why did he leave without saying goodbye?

People of the seventh age should be able to travel through time and space, which was why Mr. Soan built that portal.

Did he do that to travel to the seventh age?

Roams suddenly felt enlightened.

Before, he had always thought he could find Mr. Soan when he returned to Earth, but he had another option now.

The seventh age!

Mr. Soan must have gone back to the seventh age.

Roams became excited. Scientific research was everything to him. He would look into everything that was unknown to him.

Right now, the seventh age became the new mystery he wanted to solve.

He was determined to study the seventh age and the way to get there.

…

Drake, Liam, and Phoebe were still waiting at the Soan manor. They were all Nascent cultivators. They wouldn’t leave here unless there were some special circumstances.

Most of the Soans had blended in with ordinary people and made contributions to Moon.

“Liam, Phoebe, should we keep waiting?” Drake suddenly asked.

“Drake, what are you talking about?”

“Brother, what do you mean?”

His siblings asked in surprise. Drake would never have said such a thing before. What was going on today?

“I don’t think we should keep waiting like this. Patriarch wouldn’t want to see us like this.

“He helped us gain our strength, but we haven’t made any progress in two years. Do you think the Patriarch would be happy?” Drake asked.

It had been on his mind for a while, and he finally spoke up. He also wanted to persuade his siblings.

“Well… We can’t give up. If the Patriarch isn’t back, our life will lose its meaning!”

Liam and Phoebe hesitated. They knew Drake had a point, but he was asking them to stop waiting for their patriarch. How could they do that?

“Patriarch will want what’s best for the Moonians. He’ll also want to see us help Moon with our ability.

“Even if we don’t interfere with Moon, we should still improve ourselves. That’s the only way we’ll find our patriarch, isn’t it?

“Stop waiting.

“It’ll only waste our time. What we should do is to keep practicing so that we won’t disappoint our patriarch,” said Drake.

He already had a plan. The past two years had taught him a lot.

Their patriarch was the one who gave them the chance and told them where to go.

They weren’t babies. They could function without their patriarch.

They could wait for their patriarch for the next ten, twenty, or even fifty years.

If they stayed here without advancing, when their patriarch came back, he would be disappointed.

“Alright. I understand what you mean. The Soan family will function like it used to.”

“Yes! We’ll cultivate in secret and help with Moon’s development.”

“Let’s set up a timeline and see who will make the most progress.”

“Alright. Let’s make it ten years. Let’s see who will make the biggest contribution!”

“Ten years? Great! I’ll be more powerful than you in ten years, Brother!”

The three of them made a deal.

After that, they led the others away despite their reluctance.

The Himmelians, the Himmelian Village, and the Himmelian Pavilion merged back into society.

All the Soans mingled with the Moonians again. If Himmel Soan came back one day, they would gather around him in no time.

Phoebe led the Himmelian Pavilion and joined the exploration project. They could dive deep into the sea and could help the project greatly.

Liam joined the resource-searching project.

As for Drake, he visited Roams’s laboratory.

“Drake?” Roams was perplexed.

“Yes, Dr. Roams, it’s me.”

“How can I help you?” Roams was curious.

Shouldn’t Drake be waiting at the portal right now for Mr. Soan’s return?

Had Mr. Soan come back?

No, he hadn’t.

If that were the case, Drake wouldn’t be the one who came here.

Roams didn’t know why Drake visited him now without a reason.

“Dr. Roams, I want to help you finish your research,” said Drake.

“You? Help me?” Roams was surprised.

“Yes, I can help you in your research on energy.”

He then released his spiritual essence.

Roams was astonished. “Are you from the seventh age, too?”
