Since it didn't strike immediately, Qin Shou didn't mind playing along for a bit.

The silver-white Spine-eating Gu soared arrogantly through outer space, heading toward the Moon.

"Human, rest assured, we just want to talk to you—we won't harm your life," a deep voice echoed in Qin Shou's ears.

Seriously? They can communicate in space now? That's so unscientific.

Qin Shou muttered inwardly, easily picking up on the insincere tone of the silver-white Spine-eating Gu.

"Mister Bug, if I were to lead Godzilla and King Kong over to your side, do you think your boss would be willing to take me in?"

"I assume the chairman would agree," the silver-white Spine-eating Gu replied calmly.

"So, where is your chairman now? Are we headed to meet him?"

"You'll find out soon," it said, still speaking with that emotionless tone.

But Qin Shou felt relieved—it turned out this creature didn't know the whereabouts of the Ultimate Spine-eating Poison either.

This is solid!

...

The silver-white Spine-eating Gu soared arrogantly through outer space, occasionally vanishing into the Void, moving at an impossibly fast speed.

In less than a day, it had already descended upon the Moon.

Through the Air Shield, Qin Shou noticed that the Moon had shockingly lost its dense clusters of craters—as if some force had forcibly smoothed them out—his heart filled with astonishment.

Demigod Realm experts are utterly terrifying.

"Buzz..."

The moment the silver-white Spine-eating Gu landed on the Moon, it burrowed into the Void. Qin Shou's senses were completely cut off, and in no time, they arrived at an underground cavern.

At the cavern's center stood a massive Transmission Array, spanning over a thousand meters in diameter.

Judging by the intricate carvings on the Array, it seemed to hail from ancient times.

"Human, soon you'll become one of us," the silver-white Spine-eating Gu said, its eerie bug eyes emitting faint glimmers as it coiled around the ancient Transmission Array. Radiant light slowly enveloped the scene.

...

No one knew how much time had passed, but as the light faded, Qin Shou opened his eyes to find himself facing structures reminiscent of ancient European architecture.

The silver-white Spine-eating Gu flew over the rooftops of these buildings, drawing curious glances from many humans dressed in black robes.

"It's Lord Void. The person on his back must be a genius captured from Earth."

"For someone worth being personally transported by Lord Void, that human genius must have an extraordinary background."

"Indeed. This time, we'll see who's lucky enough to earn the right to devour him."

"Yeah... so jealous."

The Spine-eating Gu that looked human chatted and laughed, but showed not even a shred of pity for Qin Shou.

Of course, Qin Shou didn't need their pity.

Staring at these Spine-eating Gu disguised in human skin, Qin Shou wore an eerily calm expression.

Laugh while you can!

If you don't laugh now, you won't be able to soon.

Not long after, the silver-white Spine-eating Gu suddenly unleashed a silver-white mist, its enormous body shrinking at incredible speed into the form of a cold, stern man. Carrying the still immobilized Qin Shou, he strode toward an underground base.

In the base corridors, many human-shaped Spine-eating Gu passing by bowed respectfully and greeted the imposing man.

Void—it was his name.

The bug lived up to it.

"Ahem, Brother Void, being carried like this feels really uncomfortable, and the role of a prisoner doesn't suit me. How about putting me down so I can walk on my own?" Qin Shou suddenly joked.

Void shot Qin Shou a cold glance, nodded silently, and removed the Air Shield.

Immediately, Qin Shou stumbled, unable to adapt to the gravity environment that was several times stronger than that of Earth, nearly losing his balance.

"This isn't Earth!" Qin Shou narrowed his eyes slightly.

Void looked calm, his tone cold. "You didn't resist at all during the entire journey. I assume you've been planning an escape. But let me tell you, you can forget about it.

Here, no one can help you!"

Qin Shou rolled his eyes. "Why would I plan an escape? I'm not into chasing stars.

Besides, I, Qin Shou, have never been weaker than anyone. I've always relied on myself—I don't need anyone's help!"

Seeing Qin Shou stand tall with a proud demeanor, Void's cheeks couldn't help but twitch.

As expected, humans don't even bother to save face.

"Enough nonsense—follow me," Void said, his expression reverting to icy indifference. He had barely taken two steps before instinctively touching his waist, only to quickly retract his hand.

King Kong's grip had nearly shattered his fragile back.

Qin Shou stroked his chin and followed without hesitation.

Such confidence—this place must have its fair share of Nightmare Nine-star Spine-eating Gu.

A moment later, the two passed through a labyrinth of twisted corridors and arrived at a laboratory filled with surging Dark Energy.

On rows of dense experiment tables lay over a hundred slumbering men and women dressed in varying attire.

At the center of the laboratory, a young girl in a Black Gold Robe quietly rested on a platform.

Void glanced at Qin Shou. "She is the princess with the purest bloodline of the Dark Country. Before you arrived, she was the laboratory's most valuable treasure."

Qin Shou: "..."

Insulting me?

What do you take me for?

Private property?

You lot are way too conceited.

Qin Shou clasped his hands behind his back and said lightly, "The princess of the Dark Country? I've never seen a princess before—mind if I take a look?"

"Go ahead." Void showed no sign of objection.

"Oh, thanks," Qin Shou replied, leisurely walking toward the center of the lab. Along the way, the human-shaped Spine-eating Gu he passed stared at him with curious expressions.

"Lord Void, who is this human?"

"His name is Qin Shou, Earth's most brilliant genius, and our future king!" Void said nonchalantly.

"What?"

"King?"

A group of Spine-eating Gu stared in shock.
