In the known universe, at the entrance to the core of the universe, Ximen Lang was holding the origin of Karl's soul. Looking at Karl who lowered his head a little more, Ximen Lang looked incomprehensible.

"You still have a choice now. As long as you speak up, you can still gain dignity. For the sake of... everyone getting along so 'happily' before."

"Otherwise, you will really be completely under my control for the rest of your life."

Feeling that this explanation was still unclear, Ximen Lang added.

"This kind of control is not just about your life, but also about your thoughts and everything about you."

"Even if it is the most secret and darkest corner of your heart, a flash of inspiration that inadvertently flashes across. As long as you really think about it, I can see it clearly and can explore it repeatedly at any time."

Thinking of such a terrible scene where everything was left in the hands of others, Ximen Lang shuddered and thought about Karl very seriously.

"This kind of powerlessness that everything is in the hands of others, just talking about it, I can feel the deep despair. I am also doing it for your own good, you have to think clearly."

Listening to Ximen Lang's heart-wrenching explanation, Karl forced himself to completely empty his head.

He really adjusted himself to a calm state for a short time, and then, based on what Ximen Lang said just now, Karl said with a heavy face.

"As decent as Dukao?"

"Be as decent as Dukao. This is my promise to you, Ximen Lang."

"What's the price?"

"Be an ordinary person, a lawful god, and stop all dangerous research. Of course, it is best to stop all research."

Ordinary people, lawful gods, stop all research, so as not to directly defeat Karl.

After taking another deep breath, Karl finally regained his composure and said with red eyes and an ugly face.

"If you ask me to stop all research, I might as well die!"

"You can also choose this way!"

Reaffirming the "high degree of autonomy" that Karl still possesses, Ximen Lang looked playful.

"I didn't say you couldn't do this, did I?"

He casually pulled out the dagger that was still stuck in the space principal's body and could pierce the body of seven generations of gods alive.

There was a clang.

Throwing it directly to Karl's feet, pointing to the dagger that fell at Karl's feet, Ximen Lang made an invitation gesture.

"Please begin your performance."

Once again, Karl was speechless, and Ximen Lang stopped teasing Karl.

Directly tell Ximen Lang how to deal with Karl that he had planned long ago.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. In fact, I have already prepared how to deal with you."

"You are a talented person, and it is true that I am reluctant to kill you. But due to the influence of time, and the guidance of old man Space and old man Ritz, you have deviated from the right path a long time ago."

"so?"

"So, you should go back to your original self, that kind, innocent little boy who would be shy for a long time just looking at a beautiful big sister."

Saying that, ignoring Karl's doubts, Ximenlang took a step forward and stepped directly into the endless river of time.

Following Karl's life trajectory, Ximen Lang went all the way back and went directly to a time point tens of thousands of years ago when he was still a child and had not yet been discovered by the old man in space and the old man Ritz.

Looking at the young Karl who is innocent at this time, passionate about everything, and as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Ximen Lang landed in front of little Carl who was staring at an apple tree with a curious expression.

Seeing that the apple tree in front of him was indeed just an ordinary apple tree, Ximenlang asked little Karl.

"Why are you staring at a tree? What's so interesting about this thing?"

Then he pointed to the little friends who were playing house and having fun beside him, Ximen Lang continued.

"Why don't you play with those friends?"

After hearing Ximen Lang's words, he first bowed to Ximen Lang in a polite manner, and then, little Karl said timidly.

"I... can't play with them... I think they are naive and they think I am pedantic, so..."

"It turns out that we can't play together. Then why are you staring at this tree again?"

Just as he was talking, Ximenlang suddenly felt a thump in his heart.

Looking at the red apples already hanging on the tree, Ximen Lang said in disbelief.

"No way……"

Sure enough, as soon as Ximenlang finished speaking, little Karl directly explained his doubts.

"I was wondering why these ripe apples fell to the ground instead of flying into the sky..."

Listening to these questions that little Karl told in his ears, Ximen Lang took a closer look at little Karl in front of him.

Seeing that little Carl is indeed only 8 years old now, Ximenlang doubts the way of life.

"He's eight years old?! By the way, what was I doing when I was 8 years old?"

I think that when I was 8 years old, I might still be playing in the mud with my children...

Ximen Lang finally gave up comparing himself with Karl, but said in an extremely embarrassed tone.

"Do you think it's possible that they fell to the ground because there was a force pulling them so that they could only fall to the ground and not fly to the sky?"

Karl's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this, and he called Ximen Lang a genius!

Listening to this extremely harsh compliment in his ears, Ximen Lang...

"It's just so-so. I'm just using the time that others use to brag and slap me, to think, so-so, so-so~"

Then, Ximenlang chatted with little Carl for a while, covering basically everything.

Through these chats, Ximen Lang further felt the genius of little Carl and his own mediocrity...

At this moment, Ximen Lang finally understood why this boy was attracted by the old man Space and the old man Ritz, who were the bosses of the party at this time.

"In fact, don't talk about them. If it were me, I would be so excited!"

"Yes! I'm excited too!"

He took another careful look at little Karl in front of him, and met little Karl's clear gaze.

Seeing Carl's pure eyes, Ximen Lang decisively overturned his previous decision to drag Carl to the future timeline.

He turned to little Carl and asked.

"Xiao Ka, how about this, how about you study with me? I teach you how to deal with others and how to understand the world, and you become my student?"

Hearing Ximen Lang's words, little Karl, who had long been deeply impressed by Ximen Lang's "eruditeness", said with bright eyes.

"But... is it possible? Can I really be your student and study with such a knowledgeable scholar like you?"

"certainly!"

With Ximen Lang's affirmative words, Ximen Lang decisively started a new journey.

Moreover, this teaching lasts nine years!
Chapter completed!
