He was not the kind to interfere with human choices regarding Ultraman; the fate of Earth was for Earth's inhabitants to decide (he was a Cosmic Person).

A higher Earth Immortal was the one who refined the Qi Glow, which was exactly the Qi Glow that the Divine Will Warriors needed.

Qi Glow was the essence of a planet, originating from the cosmos but detached from it, and the refined "Constant Sand" was a genuine miniature world.

However, collecting Qi Glow was extremely difficult.

According to the knowledge in the "Fragrant Leaf Crown," collecting Qi Glow required traveling beyond the heavy heavens, essentially entering space and gathering the Qi Glow from planets.

Space was not empty; it contained various cosmic phenomena and the radiation they emitted. An Immortal venturing into space had to spend mana to collect Qi Glow and to shield themselves from radiation.

For Third Level Immortals, it was a losing trade; not to mention elevating their own realm, they couldn't even break even and were almost bound to remain Immortals for life.

Even wealthy Third Level Immortals, buying Qi Glow collected by other Immortals, found the refining speed too slow. Their lifespan was simply not enough.

Rather than the tedious process of refining Qi Glow in pursuit of becoming an Earth Immortal, it was better to fully enjoy three thousand years.

Second Level Immortals fared somewhat better, each collection gave them a slight surplus, which they could sell and exchange for needed resources (weapons, Daoist laws, Elixir Pills, and other treasures); or they could keep it for themselves.

Keeping it was possible, but only the top performers among Second Level Immortals (including those with talent, wealth, and luck) had the potential to become Earth Immortals.

First Level Immortals were the official troops.

Honestly collecting Qi Glow, as long as the quantity of the Qi Glow was sufficient and its quality wasn't as low as the Ganges water mixed with cow dung, and no accidents occurred mid-process, becoming an Earth Immortal by the end of one's life was virtually problem-free.

Not to mention the Supreme Immortals.

"Fragrant Leaf Crown" did not record the odds of Supreme Immortals becoming Earth Immortals, but it did cite two examples of failures, as cautionary tales to prove that nothing in the world is certain, and even Third Level Immortals should not give up so easily!

Besides these two methods, there was another way to become Earth Immortal, which involved using Magic Treasures (props).

Turquoise Pool recommended Li Changzhou use the "Honey Jar World," which was this kind of method.

A Magic Treasure that could serve as the foundation for an Earth Immortal, in ancient times, was the "nuclear weapon" of each school, used to suppress fortunes and deter each other.

Such a Magic Treasure could exist for thousands of years, but once converted into the Earthly Realm by an Earth Immortal, if the Earth Immortal died, the Earthly Realm would collapse, and the Magic Treasure would disappear completely.

Li Changzhou had no burden; if he died, how would that affect the "Honey Jar World"?

"The Dragon Palace could work, right?" he said to Turquoise Pool.

"It could," Turquoise Pool pondered, "but the mere Dragon Palace isn't worthy of my status."

"...What is worthy of your status?"

"I am the Queen Mother of the West; of course, I want Turquoise Pool, and why not the Flat Peach Trees, Heavenly Mountain, Heavenly Pool, and so on. When we head to other timelines, you guys better help snatch them," she said with a laugh.

"Speaking of which," Li Qianxia turned her head towards Yang Qinglan, "does Qinglan need Gu She Mountain?"

"Whatever's good I'll use. I'm not picky and don't have a sense of destiny."

"Hmm—, what should I use?" Li Qianxia held her cute face in her palm, deep in thought.

This was the new era, these were the players; they could travel to various periods and obtain what they needed.

Only then—by treating history as nourishment—could the "winner," who controlled everything, emerge.

It wasn't just history but also the present (the boundless universe), and the future; winning everything was necessary to become the "winner."

"No matter what we use, Qi Glow is essential; once we return, let's take over Earth," declared Turquoise Pool dominantly.

The quality and quantity of Qi Glow produced by different planets varied.

From Li Changzhou's observation of Earth (just from the experiment where he glanced at Earth to check if returning was possible) the quality was high-grade, but the amount was quite limited, sufficient only to support six Immortals—until they became Heavenly Immortals. Earthly Immortals needed an incessant flow of Qi Glow, otherwise, the world would gradually wither.

The Moon had even less, at most one, and that one could only be a Third Level Immortal.

The competition for resources, Jupiter ready to erupt at any moment, and the encompassing Value Game, all made everyone feel a sense of 'even though we've become Immortals, our situation hasn't improved at all.'

"One thing has changed," Yang Qinglan said lightly, smiling, "Before, everyone was just a pawn; now there are players."

"Are we the players?" Li Qianxia asked with a laugh, unable to hide her pride.

"Hmm-hmm~" Turquoise Pool teased everyone with a knowing smile, "We're just luckier, haven't been eliminated."

They all laughed together.

Talking about players was an exaggeration; what counted an Earth in the vast universe, even including its history?

But at least, in their native homeland of Earth, they could determine the mining rights of Qi Glow, and this bit of confidence was something all four of them already possessed.

The situation remained tough, but it was gradually improving, and that was hope, more important than anything.

"Let's keep pushing," Li Changzhou said with a smile, "Don't underestimate anyone, and give your all in the upcoming tasks."

"Really give our all?" Li Qianxia confirmed.

"Otherwise?"

"Don't blame me if I smash a planet."

"If you can manage that, go ahead."

Seven days had passed, and the task was in its final moments.

"In case you forgot, let me remind you," Yang Qinglan looked at the siblings, "the task is to pull away the Constant Star."

"Breaking a planet seems simpler after all," Li Qianxia muttered.
