"Want to have two more drinks?"
"No need." The General waved his hand and threw the bottle into the trash can, "I’ve never liked this stuff from the start..."
After speaking, he turned around and walked straight towards the door.
He passed through the exquisite and luxurious hall and the long corridor and pushed open the door.
There, a representative from the Astronomical Society had been waiting for a long time, with an arrest warrant from the Astronomical Society.
"Do I need handcuffs?" The General asked.
"No need." The agent opened the car door for him: "Please, General."
The General smiled and got into the car.
"Drive slowly."
He gazed at the scenery outside the window he had never appreciated before, "Let me take a good look at the landscape."
The pitch-black sedan started, and slowly departed along the road.
Disappeared from sight.
.
On the beach, Ye Xueya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Honestly, I originally thought things would get physical, scared me to death." She shook her head in amazement: "It’s a pity, Fu uncle, you didn’t determine who won, huh."
She curiously asked: "I’m quite eager to know who is stronger between you and the General?"
Beside Ye Xueya, Fu Canlight’s silhouette slowly emerged.
"Although I didn’t win, he already lost long ago."
The middle-aged man gazed into the distant sea view, sighed empathetically: "His era has long passed, but he has always been unwilling to admit it."
The old soldier, long silently withered.

.
Three days later.
In the ward of a subsidiary of the Existence Institute, Shah pinched his chin, pondering over the data in his hand, tut-tutting in admiration: "Still alive and kicking, impressive, Huai Shi."
"Honestly, even I..." Huai Shi shrugged, lying inside the frame of the instrument, looking at his appalling stats.
Now, he finally experienced the benefits of spending money on games.
Huai Shi, 18 years old, living in the Stone Marrow Pavilion, unmarried, working for the Ivory Tower. Doing tool work round the clock till dawn, smoking and drinking without sleeping at all, his source substance full of curses, his blood full of poison. Also had a fight before sleep last time, gnawed at a cell from the Element of Destructive, then fell into a stupor till now, lying in ICU of the Existence Institute.
Even the Existence Institute was surprised, how hasn’t he suddenly died yet?
His Stigma is already about to collapse, his soul riddled with cracks, the Abyss has eroded to such an extent, not only has it not congealed, it even looks quite healthy.
As for Divine Nature...
In order to stuff the meat chunk of the Eternal Beast into the Ruins, the Godly Nature of the Great Priestess basically got completely burnt away.
Taken from Tanbo, used in Tanbo, Huai Shi doesn’t feel heartache, just headache.
A headache in the medical sense, sporadic migraines.
It’s the ill effect of source substance scarcity, now he seems to return to before seventeen, every moment the source substance is extracted by the Ruins, used to suppress and seal off the internal Eternal Beast, the tissue hardly even reaches a particle of dandruff.
"Hmm, I’ve finished reading the report."
Shah closed the thick book in his hand, pinching his chin, asked: "One good news, one bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
"...Why not call in another person, say good news on the left, bad news on the right, counterbalance each other?" Huai Shi suggested: "Maybe then everything will be fine."
"Creative, hahaha! Next time I must tell this joke at the quarterly meeting with Niflheim!"
Shah clapped his hands, then put away his smile, "Then let’s start with the bad news."
"I want to hear the good news."
"The bad news really sounds a bit serious."
Shah pretended not to hear, earnestly said: "Based on our cautious investigation, detailed analysis, meeting discussions, and expert group research... Unfortunately, in the end, it was discovered that with the technology we are currently able to publicize, there’s basically no way to remove the meat chunk of the Eternal Beast from your Ruins.
Look, this probe scan result..."
He lifted the image in his hand for Huai Shi to see, already turned into a blood-red whirlpool.
"The Godly Nature of the Great Priestess is rather weak for dealing with such a level of opponent, although successfully sealed it within the Ruins, itself has already been nearly depleted. And the Eternal Beast’s cell under external pressure has combined with the Ruins... How should I say it?"
He thought for a moment, clapped his hands, vividly illustrated: "Um, simmer gently to cook white rice, then it boils dry and sticks to the pot!"
"Huh?"
Huai Shi was dumbfounded, soon realized the hidden meaning in his words, "Wait, open technology can’t do it, but what about the unopen one?"
"Of course it’s doable."
Shah nodded, then replied: "But after use, you’ll no longer have a way to open it, you see? Existence Institute main seat available, twenty-four hour air conditioning, do you like it?"
