Completed
Qiao Shuang was a once-in-a-millennium cultivation genius with exceptional talent and remarkable insight. Unfortunately, he was born on a resource-poor planet with scant spiritual energy, Blue Star.
Even so, he established his foundation at five, formed his golden core at seven, formed his nascent soul at ten, and reached the pinnacle of the mortal world at twelve, becoming the foremost immortal on Blue Star. He was only one step away from ascending to immortality in broad daylight.
Unfortunately, because of the limitations of Blue Star's environment, that one step took him a full ten years, and he still hadn't made it.
Just as Qiao Shuang was wondering whether to give up, his biological parents came looking for him.
It turned out he had been born in an interstellar world and had ended up on Blue Star by accident.
And his family really did have a throne to inherit, more than one, in fact.
Qiao Shuang decisively gave up cultivation and returned home, only to discover that his family situation was rather complicated.
His father had one household, his mother another, and he was left on his own, as if he were surplus to requirements.
Qiao Shuang: Got it. Awful parents, awful stepparents, and awful step-siblings, coming right up.
Both his parents' families were royal, with more siblings than he could count, while each had only one position for crown prince.
Qiao Shuang: Understood. The succession struggle is about to begin.
Since both sides were royal families, they also had a staggering number of collateral relatives and allied families besides their immediate relatives. There were also the aristocratic clans they regularly dealt with, and vast numbers of guards and servants...
Qiao Shuang sucked in a sharp breath: Awful relatives, scheming friends, and evil subordinates are on their way.
On top of that, after Qiao Shuang disappeared, each of his parents adopted a boy.
Qiao Shuang's eyes widened in shock: Holy crap, there are impostor princes, and there are two of them.
Faced with such a complicated situation, Qiao Shuang, who had been thoroughly influenced by online novels, had planned to follow the traditional overpowered hero's path: face-slapping, taking down scumbags, dealing with awful people, showing off, making a comeback, and building a harem (not really). But as he went along, he realized something was wrong.
Qiao Shuang: "I want to slap someone's face."
Subordinate: "Left cheek or right?"
Qiao Shuang: "..."
Subordinate: "How about both?"
Qiao Shuang: "..."
Qiao Shuang: "I want to torment some scumbags."
Older brother: "Food scraps, meat scraps, or biscuit crumbs?"
Qiao Shuang: "Human scum."
His older brother immediately went to the maximum-security prison and hauled out a long line of death-row inmates. "Go ahead and torment them. We'll execute them afterward."
Qiao Shuang: "..."
Qiao Shuang sighed. "Life's a little less interesting without a few awful people around."
A friend passing by happened to overhear and fell into thought.
The next day, he showed up at Qiao Shuang's place carrying a huge pile of bags. "Here are some premium crystal ore, premium energy bars, and a premium photon battleship... Take your pick."
Qiao Shuang: "..."
That day, every N-star and B-star citizen, from the royals to the common people, was thrilled. Their prince, who had been lost for years, had finally been found!
Though he had inherited the royal family's handsome looks, his black hair was unkempt, his gaze unfocused, his build slender, and his bearing fragile (from staying at home too much).
The N-star and B-star citizens were heartbroken for him and wanted to shower him with affection.
Just look at what Blue Star, that backward, resource-poor dump, had done to their prince!
Everyone agreed that they had to make up for all the years of missing fatherly love, motherly love, sibling love, fraternal love, loyal subordinates, and public adoration...
There was only one thing to say: Spoil him, spoil him rotten!
Later, creatures from another world invaded.
Advanced technology was powerless, and the interstellar world was on the brink of collapse.
As the two armies faced off, the N-star and B-star citizens saw their little prince, whom they had been desperately protecting, step forward and casually wave his hand...
An incomparably sharp sword aura shot into the sky, stretching across the entire universe.
Space shattered, and stars fell.
With a laugh and a few words, he wiped the enemy from existence!
Everyone: "..."
Theme: When we take the time to appreciate the beauty around us, even the most ordinary days can shine.
There is reason to suspect that these two guys took five-year-old Qiao Shuang out to hang out.
How can I put it, overall, the introduction is the most popular, the rest is too weird, the group favorite is not very favored, and the last sword that has been prepared for so long is even held in a referendum [changed]
A: You like mathematics B: Absolutely impossible!
I think there is something wrong with this royal family. Do you know what Chi Zesheng Change is? Knowing that they are in trouble internally and externally, the people have no brains, yet they still let an important prince wander around outside? A regent and a general, they can't keep secrets, they can't keep security, they don't have emergency plans... If Qiao Qiao hadn't been strong enough, he would have died once in the Forgotten Land.
I'm great without a knife, this ending is so cool
Ah... That's how it ends... The feeling can only be described as "finally silent". It's not as grand and high-scoring as I imagined, but it's still good. At least it has a complete ending.
Throughout the whole process, the protagonist seems to have no sense of existence (self-feeling)
I feel really looking forward to the ending. Although there are a few regrets, it's overall pretty good.
These two killers are going to laugh me to death
Kunlun Patriarch: Don't ask, asking will only hurt your eyes (tired)
