Demon Eye Base.

Nine Tyrannosaurus Monster Puppets were stationed at strategic points, guarding the entire Demon Eye Base.

The Heavenly Eye was already in slumber. Qin Shou and the other two gathered in a room, each holding a bottle of red-gold liquid, exchanging uncertain looks.

"Is it true that Heavenly Eye's blood can temporarily activate the Monster Puppets?" Thunderbolt Fire questioned, disbelief written all over his face.

Qin Shou pondered, "This blood likely contains traces of Heavenly Eye's spiritual power, which would explain its ability to initiate Monster Puppet combat."

El tucked away the red-gold blood and said seriously, "No matter what, our success in negotiating with Heavenly Eye was largely thanks to Principal Qin's timely intervention."

The "Principal Qin" El referred to was not Qin Long, but Qin Shou.

With Qin Long's strength, she wouldn't dare to address him as "Principal."

On Earth, aside from Elder Long, every other Demigod Realm practitioner was a fraud, and everyone was well aware of this.

Thunderbolt Fire echoed, "Indeed, Brother Qin was extraordinary to tie with Heavenly Eye. Otherwise, given Heavenly Eye's domineering nature, it wouldn't have entertained our conditions at all."

Qin Shou waved modestly, wearing a faint smile, "Haha, if it weren't for the help of you two in holding off those seven Tyrannosaurus Puppets, I wouldn't have stood a chance against Heavenly Eye alone."

"Ah, Brother Qin, no need to be humble. We all know the monstrous power of Heavenly Eye's Thundering Tyrannosaurus Puppet, significantly stronger than the others. If I faced it head-on..."

Thunderbolt Fire trailed off awkwardly, his face betraying silent embarrassment.

Earlier, he bravely volunteered to engage four Tyrannosaurus Puppets solely to avoid a direct confrontation with Heavenly Eye, leaving that challenge to El.

Yet he hadn't anticipated that El would also...

El tilted her head skyward, remaining silent.

Youths had the spirit for this; testing Heavenly Eye was best left to the younger generation.

The atmosphere grew peculiar, but Qin Shou was fully aware of the subtle calculations playing out in their minds.

Nevertheless, he didn't mind. Neither Thunderbolt Fire nor El would likely rival Heavenly Eye, potentially causing critical errors in the plan...

Well, with Heavenly Eye's intelligence, mistakes seemed unthinkable.

Qin Shou sighed inwardly, a little exasperated. After so much scheming, he had nearly assumed that all powerful figures were intellectually adept.

Couldn't a problem be resolved through persuasion instead of a fight? It felt wasteful and unnecessary.

On the surface, Qin Shou, Thunderbolt Fire, and El shared the same goal—gaining benefits.

However, Qin Shou's true objective was those nine Tyrannosaurus Monster Puppets!

High-level Disaster Monster Puppets—now those were treasures beyond measure!

Though he could easily steal all nine now, doing so would undoubtedly bring Earth unwanted trouble.

He wasn't sure whether Elder Long could withstand the pressure from Demon Eye Planet, which compelled him to find a scapegoat nearby.

Mirror Planet!

Ditching the blame onto Mirror Planet was the beginning of Qin Shou's plan.

...

Recently, due to unusual activity in the Demon Eye Base, nine Monster Puppets had blatantly appeared in Mirror Planet's star people's field of view, alerting them to abnormalities.

Thus, Mirror Planet dispatched numerous spies disguised as Demon Eye Star People to the base to gather intelligence.

Demon Eye Planet, however, was prepared.

Having clashed with Mirror Planet countless times, Demon Eye Star People already possessed methods to identify Mirror Star spies.

Mirror Core!

Equipped with Mirror Cores, the Demon Eye Star guards could sense the slightest disturbances and detect Mirror Star people nearby.

Naturally, ordinary Mirror Cores couldn't perceive the presence of the Magic Mirror Core hidden within the Divine Light Stick.

Outside the base, chaos erupted again as the guards discovered a Mirror Star spy and swiftly killed and captured him.

Not long afterward, Fang Bao returned to the Demon Eye Base, his face dirty and disgraced, seeking Qin Shou.

"The Giant Stone Statue has been stolen," Fang Bao lamented miserably.

Qin Shou's expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated this outcome long ago.

These days, Mirror Planet had secretly deployed spies while openly initiating small-scale skirmishes to divert the Demon Eye Base's attention.

Fang Bao volunteered to head to the battlefield. Qin Shou always knew the lad would slip up sooner or later.

The Giant Stone Statue contained Magic Mirror fragments, too tempting for the powerful Mirror Star people to resist.

Qin Shou glanced at Fang Bao coolly and said, "Well, it's stolen. Be glad you're alive to return—it's just good luck on your part."

Fang Bao grinned sheepishly, "Well... how about giving me another Giant Stone Statue?"

"Not happening. The statues are long gone."

"What? Gone?"

Fang Bao's expression turned tragic as he wailed mournfully, "Ah, my Dyna! How could you leave me?! How will I survive these miserable days ahead...?"

Qin Shou sighed, pinching his forehead, "Alright, alright, stop acting like a crybaby. You're a grown man; have some dignity. Guard the gates and wait for my news."

Fang Bao lit up with delight, his face full of gratitude.

"I just knew you cared for me..."

"Bang!"

Qin Shou kicked Fang Bao across the room, his expression filled with disgust as he dissolved into the Void.

...

Demon Blade Sect.

In the grand hall, a seductive woman fiddled with the Flash Sword in her hands, suspicion evident in her brows.

"Magic Mirror fragments… looks like that fellow is already out of the picture.

Regardless, the Magic Mirror Core must be acquired. Earth's people have no right to possess such a treasure!"

Her face darkened.

To the Mirror Star people, the Magic Mirror Core was a priceless artifact, so she had no intention of reporting the matter.

The fewer who knew, the fewer competitors coveting the Core.

"Sect Leader, someone outside claims to be your friend and is asking for an audience," reported a disciple entering the hall.

The woman knitted her brows—friend?

Ever since she had copied this particular body, she hadn't heard of this woman having any friends.

"Let him in," she said calmly.

If her cover were blown, disposing of them would be effortless.

With her strength merely at the Unbreakable Realm, the visitor's level likely wouldn't surpass her own.

Shortly after, a handsome man strode into the grand hall. The woman froze, her face revealing outright astonishment.
