The messages brought by the Stone Beast grew more desperate one after the other.

Sometimes, the Central King couldn't help but wonder if there was a communication breakdown between her and the Stone Beast, or if the Stone Beast had fallen under the control of Earth's humans.

Why, in just twelve days, had the beautiful and splendid Four Seasons Star been manhandled like a flower?

The night was about to end, and sunlight spread across the Earth; she remembered a morning ride with her father during training, her father pointing to the sunrise in the distance, saying, "Child, look, the Stone Beasts are washing their faces with the sunlight."

She tilted her face upwards, letting the sun cleanse her cheeks, and the wind dry them.

May wind and light bless and protect me, protect Four—

A powerful force gripped her arm, and the Central King opened her eyes, pulled into a crevice beside her was the Guard Captain, pressed against the rock wall, his body tense as rock.

Opposite her and the captain, on the other side of the crevice, the Court Mage held the scepter tightly, silently praying to the wind and light.

The Central King realized something; she looked outside the crevice, where warriors huddled under the shadows of helix-shaped rock pillars, eyes tightly shut, expressions suffocating as if they couldn't breathe.

The Stone Beast that bathed its face in sunlight contracted one by one, turning into stone.

The roaring noise grew closer.

The Central King lifted her face, a powerful presence coming from the west, and she swallowed.

It's here!

With just a loud explosion-like blast, the enemy had swept over from above, disappearing in the direction of the rising sun.

Dust swirled on the ground like a long dragon chasing the blast.

"Ha... Ha..."

Fearful gasps echoed through the camp, as if awakening from a nightmare.

The Central King had not experienced the battle where the Capital fell; she had left the Capital three days before the war began, on her father's orders.

"Is that person, the Earth God who killed my father?" she gazed towards the east.

"Yes," the captain responded.

There were many people involved in the explosion voice, they neither specified male or female, looks, nor age, but one glance was enough to see that person's singularity.

Reeking of blood, behind him was a sea of corpses, an oppressive suffocation feeling.

Just one look at him, it was like rolling in the mud, leaving one's skin as taut as naturally air-dried mud.

How many had he killed? Thousands? Tens of thousands? No, millions.

"Is it safe here?" the captain asked the mage.

"The barrier is fine, but whether it's safe..." the mage wiped his sweat.

The Central King held her sword tightly, staring at the lingering dust dragon before her.

"Bro, if the Mecha is so advanced, why not use it to find the 'Crown'?"

"No matter how powerful a gun is, you can't expect it to order takeout; it's not made for that, besides, you've never even seen the 'Crown', don't know its appearance or composition."

"Oh." Li Qianxia nodded, then asked suspiciously, "Have you tried it?"

"I've tried."

Only then did his sister let him be.

After leaving autumn, they did not travel directly to spring; instead, they slightly detoured, skirting the intersection of summer and the central area, traveling eastward.

In the days when the 'regular earthquakes' kept triggering earthquakes, the Central population massively dwindled, almost every city deserted—with the aid of the Stone Beast, the news traveled even faster than Li Changzhou could fly.

The fleeing Central people had two options.

First, hide in the wild stone forests of Central, bowing their heads like the Stone Beasts, not daring to look at the sky, to avoid drawing the attention of those flying above;

Or, go to other seasons.

At that time, there were Earth humans in spring and autumn, so Central people would head to either winter or summer, depending on which extreme they could better withstand.

After the battle at the Central Capital, Li Changzhou had gone to winter, clearing some of the larger refugee troops along the way.

Now returning from autumn, skirting the intersection of summer and central, they cleans their paths of those who could withstand the heat and chose summer.

They didn't attack the smaller groups; killing was important, but time was more critical—today was the twelfth day, whether they could return to their homeland, Earth, depended on the efforts of these last few days.

"There's danger ahead!" Radish, crouching on a cloud and constructing a forest, suddenly yelled.

Soda Crackers put on headphones, closed his eyes, and followed lazily behind the fleeing group, who ignored the auspicious cloud in the sky.

Tens of thousands of ordinary people, now reduced to slaves, each bearing the maximum weight they could carry on their backs, just to be able to barely transport the City Lord's entire fortune.

"Maximum combat power 421," Xiao Wu scanned with his eyes.

"I'll handle this," another from the auspicious cloud stood up. "Psychopath, come help me. Let's make it quick."

"Psychopathy isn't a disease, they just submit their bodies to their instincts, and instinct is the strongest! Ahahaha!" saying this, the psychologist crazily jumped down from the cloud, and until the very end, he didn't use any ability.

So, when this group of refugees saw a man with a bloody head, excitedly rushing towards them like a lost child who finally saw his homeland, they initially thought he was truly a lost refugee.

Then, looking at him, they all went mad.

Li Qianxia said to Radish, "Is it fun?"

"It's fun." Every time Turquoise Pool summoned a cloud, Radish would use clouds to mould forests, over and over.

"What's fun about it?"

"Hmmm..."

Li Qianxia waited for Radish to answer; Radish, thinking, got engrossed in playing seriously again and forgot to reply.

Did Radish feel like he was leaving the forest he grew up in to enter human society, similar to how Earth humans left Earth to come to the Four Seasons Star?
