Chapter 1: I know this plot very well.
"Pfft!"
A spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the dense, shady forest, and then a figure fell out of it, unconsciously collapsing to the ground.
In an instant, withered yellow leaves and dust flew up, and the sound of the fall startled the birds that were foraging nearby, causing them to scatter and fly away.
"Safe passage through the time-space wormhole has been confirmed. Xiongxin 1.0 has been restarted and is awaiting further instructions."
With a voice devoid of emotion, everything returned to calm, as if it had never happened.
Time passed slowly, and the morning sun gradually rose into the sky, hovering overhead.
Under the blazing sun, the figure that had been lying prone on the ground trembled slightly under the intense heat.
Then the figure gradually moved, slowly supporting its body with its hands on the ground as it sat up, letting out a muffled groan of pain, and a complaint echoed in the empty and quiet forest.
"It hurts! It smells awful! What's wrong with me? I feel like my whole body has been hollowed out, I'm so dizzy! I feel so awful. Did I get too many massage parlors? I knew it... They're a shady business! Their service is terrible! They went too far! I'm going to report them."
Wearing short sleeves and shorts, Glenn was somewhat confused, muttering complaints under his breath. After a while, some forgotten information and memories returned to his mind, making him clear-headed for a moment and realize his mistakes.
"Oh! Wait a minute! I've never had a massage! How could my body feel so drained? Oh well, I'll definitely try it next time. I wonder if I'll ever get a five-star review?"
The pain in his body brought Glenn fully back to his senses, and he subconsciously looked at his clothes, which were covered in mud and dead leaves.
Especially the waste next to it, made by some unknown organism, smelled absolutely amazing; even Changsha stinky tofu couldn't compare.
Glenn's face darkened, and he cursed weakly and indignantly.
"Damn it! Didn't you know to let people prepare first? This short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, do you think this is a picnic? So casual? If others see this, they'll misunderstand the cultural foundation of our great Chinese people."
"Also, who is urinating or defecating here? Don't they know that we are all one family in a civilized society? They have no manners at all."
After muttering a few words and catching his breath as the pain subsided, Glenn wanted to stand up and get away from this filthy place.
But as soon as he exerted his muscles, he was overwhelmed by endless pain like a tidal wave. Caught off guard, his legs buckled weakly, and the man's knees were completely empty. He hesitated to get up, and the direction in which his body fell changed slightly.
Fortunately, he managed to brace himself with his hands in time, preventing himself from falling flat on his face in worship. He was also spared from lying on the dry, yellow ground. The lump of substance below was still clearly visible to him. If anything had happened, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Fine beads of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, eroding the dry dust and leaving tiny marks.
"Xiongxin! Quick, get your lord serviced, or it'll fall apart! This damn aftereffect is killing us!"
Glenn, enduring the pain, gave the order.
"Enter the dark dimension, activate the male core combat plate auxiliary function, eliminate physical aftereffects, and correct physical data."
“1%...5%...10%...100%…” “Correction complete, body data restored.”
A series of data points flashed by, and as the pain slowly subsided, Glenn's body gradually relaxed, and a long-lost sense of comfort welled up within him.
"Ah! That feels so good..."
"Ugh! Ugh!"
A sharp pain shot through Glenn's nostrils with each breath, jolting him awake. He held his breath and, ignoring his still-recovering body, scrambled away from the hellish scene.
Fresh air rushed into his lungs, and Glenn finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had escaped death.
"We almost died!"
Relaxing, Glenn finally had time to reflect on his current situation.
"Even with super genes, some things are still inevitable! This generation of divine body isn't enough! Isn't awakening the Galactic Force supposed to make you a third-generation divine body? How come I'm only a first-generation one!"
"What a pity, I awakened in vain, netizens misled me!" The pain is gradually disappearing, and my physical condition is stabilizing.
"Sigh! Is the first generation of divine body really this weak? I just hope the second and third generations will be better! If it were the fourth generation of divine body, that would be great. I heard it's immortal and indestructible, with an indestructible golden spear? Oh! No, it's indestructible! Yes, that's it."
The comfort and pleasure of his physical recovery made Glenn's eyes glaze over, and he began to daydream, gradually revealing a bit of a loser's air about him.
Everything has a spirit, gods are like ordinary people, dreams are like a long night, I am on the road to heaven.
This wondrous experience left Glenn feeling somewhat surreal, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. This left him feeling anxious and uncertain, as if he were in a detached state, completely immersed in the experience.
Suddenly, a commotion came from afar, bringing Glenn back to reality from his reverie.
"What is that? Disturbing my sleep!"
Glenn couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath, "Isn't this just making things worse?"
Despite saying that, as a divine being, he still nimbly flipped to his feet, jogged a little, and silently arrived at the place where the sound came from.
The closer they got, the clearer the sound became. The blinding sunlight shone from ahead, and after a moment of discomfort, their eyes could finally see the scenery ahead. It turned out to be a clearing in the woods, with the intense sunlight shining down on the open space, making the land that had been hidden by the trees appear as a sacred place.
Glenn carefully hid on a high point, quietly overlooking the hooliganism unfolding below, or so he thought.
At this point, as many as nine people had gathered below, and the situation still appeared to be one of confrontation. As for how Glenn discovered it, that was simple.
The two women below were completely surrounded by seven men, while a woman with long brown hair was standing in front of the woman with long light blonde hair, seemingly protecting her.
This scenario isn't familiar yet? It's a typical case.
Glenn couldn't see the two women's faces clearly, and he didn't know if they were beautiful or not.
After all, they were still facing away from him, but judging from their graceful and upright figures wrapped in white silk-like clothes, they couldn't be too ugly!
It was their clothing that puzzled Glenn.
"Ancient Roman armor? Have I wandered into some medieval era? Wasn't this supposed to be a super-god universe? How did this thing appear? That's weird!"
"Speaking of which, that sleazy guy with the gold headband down there looks kind of familiar, doesn't he?"
Glenn didn't immediately align himself with the Angelic Civilization, after all, they didn't have those iconic white wings! He hadn't seen what the Angelic Civilization was like before; it was his first time traveling through time, so it was normal to lack experience!
There's a big difference between reality and virtuality. If you try to judge people based on that, well, that's just ridiculous.
Just as Glenn was lost in thought, a haughty and arrogant male voice rang out, drawing Glenn's attention.
"Hey! Keisha, why are you running? Shouldn't we be getting closer? What are you doing? Or... do you have a problem with the marriage arranged by your Hoffman family since childhood? Huh?"
His arrogant, domineering, and playful attitude, coupled with his slightly smiling face, made him seem to despise everything and be incredibly haughty.
Glenn, who was not far away, saw all this and thought the man was a lewd rogue. He knew without even looking that he was a pervert, a lecherous wolf. However, the name Keisha sounded familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he was.
The woman named Keisha spoke angrily, her clear and melodious voice ringing out. Her dissatisfaction, anger, and hatred towards the person who spoke were evident in her voice, which was like a bloodstained sword thrusting out, full of murderous intent.
"You're spouting nonsense! Hua Ye! You've violated the republican order, slaughtered kings, and enslaved your own people—your crimes are unforgivable. This time, you even attacked Melo Star while my Hoffman family was holding their coronation ceremony, causing heavy casualties among our soldiers and people. You've also been rampant with slaughter among the angels, causing widespread resentment. Do you really think you can do whatever you want?"
A barrage of questions and accusations came out of her mouth. This was what she, as a lord, had to do. Perhaps it was too late to say these things now, but she still had to speak up and question the man who had brought calamity to the angel race, regardless of the consequences.
"Ha! Bloodshed? Widespread resentment?"
Hearing Keisha's question, Hua Ye laughed disdainfully, then said fiercely.
"If they had submitted to me, we wouldn't be in this situation now. Don't be like your stubborn father, spouting nonsense about the Republican Order and the Age of Kings. They're all outdated and bullshit!"
At this point, Hua Ye couldn't help but spit out a "pui" to express his disdain.
"This is the order of the Heavenly Palace, my era. The Angelic Civilization only needs one king, and that is me. I call the shots, I do whatever I want, and if anyone disagrees, I kill them all!"
The murderous intent emanating from the voice sent chills down Glenn's spine, and he couldn't help but rub his hands together for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Keisha and the woman guarding her tensed up, as if they knew their fate was sealed.
Seeing this, Hua Ye put away his fierce expression and spoke enticingly again.
"So? Do you want to submit to me? The Heavenly Palace is now groveling under my authority. I can give you anything you want, including releasing your father so he can continue to be his lord. How about it?"
At this moment, Glenn finally remembered who they were. "I know this plot so well!" he thought. "Isn't this the love-hate relationship between the old woman Keisha who loves wearing long johns and the lawless old man Hua?" Glenn couldn't help but clench his right fist and punch his left palm, looking like he had just realized something and knew the plot like the back of his hand.
