CHAPTER 413: CHAPTER 413 – GOODBYE, EARTH! HELLO AGAIN, BLUE STAR

Chapter 413 – Goodbye, Earth! Hello Again, Blue Star

After walking out of the hospital, Chen Ye felt completely dazed.

"Congratulations, sir. You’re going to be a father."

The white doctor’s words echoed endlessly in his ears, refusing to fade away.

To be honest, even Chen Ye himself didn’t know what he was feeling right now.

There was confusion, worry... but above all, excitement!

Damn, I actually got Sister Qin pregnant...

"Sister Qin, don’t worry. I’ll take responsibility for everything!" Chen Ye declared solemnly.

Qin Muyin smiled playfully and asked, "Take responsibility? Are you planning to marry me? What about Zichen? Are you willing to give her up?"

Uh...

Truly worthy of being the mature and sharp Qin Muyin—one sentence and Chen Ye was instantly cornered, speechless.

Give up Tang Zichen?

Honestly, Chen Ye really couldn’t bear to...

Seeing his silence, Qin Muyin rolled her eyes, then gently lowered her head and placed her hand on her belly. A serene smile appeared on her beautiful face.

In that moment, she radiated maternal warmth.

Then, in a soft voice, Qin Muyin said, "Chen Ye, thank you."

Chen Ye blinked, confused. "Thank me for what?"

She looked up and smiled. "Thank you for giving me a child. You fulfilled my dream of becoming a mother."

"This..."

"I once thought I might grow old alone."

She smiled again. "Having a child to accompany me will be more than enough."

Chen Ye hurriedly said, "Sister Qin, you still have me."

"You?" Qin Muyin shook her head and said firmly, "I have no interest in fighting others over a man. So let’s end things here. Once we return to Blue Star, everything will go back to how it was."

Chen Ye: "..."

Thinking back to how she’d stopped letting him use protection lately—and even tricked him into thinking psionic energy could block it—Chen Ye suddenly realized something.

"Sister Qin, why do I feel like I was just... a seed donor?"

Qin Muyin rolled her eyes again and huffed, "Don’t act like you’re the victim after taking advantage."

Chen Ye didn’t know how to respond.

Then she added, "Anyway, I’m quite satisfied with this outcome. I’m planning to return to Blue Star right now."

Chen Ye was caught off guard.

"But there are still so many reincarnators here. They’re all potential points! You don’t want them?"

Qin Muyin shook her head and caressed her belly again, smiling gently. "I don’t want to scare my baby."

Chen Ye: "..."

Hard to believe—Qin Muyin pregnant seemed like a completely different person.

"I want to go back and rest properly. From now on, no more killing. I’ll treat it as accumulating merit for the child."

She continued, "Besides, I’ve already gathered nearly a hundred thousand potential points. Once I’m back on Blue Star, aside from you, no one will be able to threaten me."

Truth be told—

If Qin Muyin had indiscriminately killed reincarnators, her point total would’ve been several times higher.

But she’d clearly been preparing for pregnancy for a while, selectively eliminating only the most evil reincarnators.

"You’re not wrong..."

Although Chen Ye was reluctant to see her go, considering the baby, he could only agree.

Also, she was right.

With nearly 100,000 points and 10,000 psionic stats, her spiritual power could surpass 100,000!

What did that mean?

Put bluntly, Qin Muyin could probably crush a planet with her mind alone.

With such power, she was practically a living deity.

"Chen Ye, what about you? When are you going back?" Qin Muyin asked.

Chen Ye thought for a moment. "I’ll make some arrangements, then head back."

"Oh? Why not stay and keep clearing?"

"Because I believe too much is as bad as too little. If the number of reincarnators drops drastically, it might trigger an emergency response from the Main God Space. Who knows what might happen?"

As he said this, his expression turned serious. "After all, this extermination mission was issued because the Main God Space overstepped and triggered a backlash from the secret realm."

Qin Muyin nodded in agreement.

She smiled and said, "As expected of the father of my child. I’m sure the baby will grow up to be amazing."

"Well, I’m off."

With that—

Qin Muyin whispered her return command.

In the next moment, her figure vanished.

Chen Ye stood there, gazing at where she had disappeared, feeling a faint sense of loss.

...

About ten minutes later—

Chen Ye returned to Jinling City in the Xia Nation.

After the chaos in the capital, many higher-ups had been shaken. They discreetly voiced concerns to Han Li, and with the headquarters in ruins, Han Li took the opportunity to relocate it to Jinling.

The Reincarnation Bureau’s current headquarters was now located in a historic building in Jinling.

When Chen Ye arrived, he found the area outside swarming with citizens.

Some wanted to become reincarnators, others came to protest, and some were just here for the spectacle.

Chen Ye wasn’t surprised.

Too many people had witnessed the events in the capital. No matter how much the authorities tried to cover it up, it was impossible to keep secret.

Now, the existence of reincarnators was public knowledge nationwide.

In the first couple of weeks, their existence sparked an uproar.

But over two months had passed since then, and public excitement had waned.

This crowd outside the bureau was small by comparison.

The front entrance was blocked, so Chen Ye leapt into the air and flew directly into the building, heading straight for Han Li’s office.

"Old Han, this new place looks good! Much more spacious than before," Chen Ye said with a grin.

Han Li, wearing a troubled expression, looked up and broke into a smile. "Chen Ye, you’re back?"

He then noticed Chen Ye had returned alone and asked, "You came back by yourself? Where’s Miss Qin?"

"She’s already gone back."

Han Li was a bit surprised but wisely didn’t press further.

Chen Ye changed the subject on purpose: "You were frowning just now—what’s wrong? Something troubling even you?"

Han Li sighed deeply.

"It’s the fallout from the reincarnator exposure. Though the frenzy has died down, there are still lots of issues."

Chen Ye instantly realized he’d asked the wrong question.

Sure enough—

Han Li added, "Actually, Chen Ye, you’re just in time..."

"Not really!" Chen Ye quickly cut in. "Old Han, I’m here to say goodbye."

Han Li blinked, then remembered Chen Ye’s true identity.

"So sudden?"

"I’ve been here long enough. It’s time to move on."

Han Li had many words stuck in his throat. In the end, he only sighed. "I know I can’t keep you. Just don’t forget—this place will always be your second home."

In truth—

This was my first home. Blue Star is the second.

Chen Ye said nothing aloud, but the thought remained in his heart.

As for Qin Muyin—

Though she stayed on Earth for over two months, she was constantly busy—either identifying reincarnators or draining Chen Ye dry... She never even got the chance to catch up on One Punch Man.

"Of course, Old Han. In my heart, this will always be home," Chen Ye said.

Han Li gave a small smile, then asked, "Have you taken care of everything at home?"

Chen Ye nodded. "After I’m gone, I hope you can look after my family from time to time."

"Of course, that’s no problem at all."

But then Han Li’s tone shifted. "Still, no one can predict what tomorrow brings. Who knows—one day I might not return from the Main God Space... your family will still need to grow stronger on their own."

As he said this, Han Li suddenly pulled out a dark red card and handed it to Chen Ye.

"What’s this?" Chen Ye asked, puzzled.

"An invitation card from the Main God," Han Li replied.

Those words made Chen Ye’s eyes go wide.

A legendary Main God Invitation Card—Han Li actually had one? And was giving it to him?

Chen Ye understood all too well how valuable this card was.

Among those desperate to become reincarnators, this card was practically priceless.

Countless billionaires had offered sky-high bounties for one on the black market, starting at 1 billion yuan. Just last week, one tycoon had offered 10 billion!

And still—it hadn’t worked.

These cards were so rare that even reincarnators who owned one weren’t tempted by money. They only passed them on to close family, never sold them.

"This..." Chen Ye hesitated. "Old Han, this card is too valuable."

Han Li waved it off with a smile. "Maybe in other people’s hands. But for you? It’s nothing."

"I know you have an older brother. Ask him what he wants. If he chooses this path, have him come find me. I’ve got some unused gear and items I can lend him—on one condition: he joins the Reincarnation Bureau."

Han Li said it politely—

But truthfully, he’d already paved the road.

Anything Han Li discarded would still be top-tier for a newcomer. With Bureau status on top of that, who would dare lay a hand on Chen Chao?

This was already the maximum level of protection anyone could offer.

Chen Ye bowed slightly. "Old Han, I can’t thank you enough."

Han Li waved again. "I’ve got a lot on my plate. If there’s nothing else, go on."

Chen Ye gave Han Li a deep look, then turned and left.

...

He returned home immediately.

There, he met with his older brother, Chen Chao.

Under Chen Ye’s arrangement, Chen Chao had already quit his job and become a full-time landlord, having bought a few storefronts on a busy local commercial street.

It wasn’t that Chen Ye didn’t want to give him a higher position—he could’ve propelled him into politics or business and elevated him to a status few could dream of.

But Chen Chao wasn’t interested.

In his own words, he wasn’t cut out for that and had no ambitions.

Living a carefree life was his dream!

Compared to his counterpart on Blue Star, this Chen Chao was practically a professional slacker...

"Big brother, I’m leaving."

Those were the first words Chen Ye said when they met.

Chen Chao blinked. "Business trip?"

Chen Ye shook his head. "To another world."

"Oh, I know that," Chen Chao replied. "Dungeon grinding, right? I get it—just be careful."

Chen Ye sighed, then grew serious. "This time is different. My soul will be entering another world. I may never return. And this body... may fall into a vegetative state again."

"Huh?"

Chen Chao’s face finally changed. "What do you mean? You can’t avoid going?"

Avoid it...

Truthfully, Chen Ye had never considered that option.

Earth might have been his first home, but the ties he had on Blue Star were far deeper now.

Not to mention, Qin Muyin was carrying his child. How could he leave that behind?

And this trip back to Earth had been mission-related to begin with. Who knew when the secret realm might forcibly summon him back?

To put it plainly—Chen Ye was now a Blue Star native.

So—

"I have to go," Chen Ye said firmly.

Chen Chao immediately panicked. "Then what? Mom and Dad finally saw a little hope—another blow like this might be too much!"

Chen Ye sighed heavily.

That was exactly what he feared.

"That’s why I’m only telling you," Chen Ye said. "Help me keep this a secret. Tell them I was sent abroad by the state and won’t be back for a while..."

"That’ll only last so long."

"Then we buy as much time as we can."

Chen Chao sighed too, at a complete loss for what to say.

"Oh, right!"

Chen Ye pulled out the Main God Invitation Card Han Li had given him and placed it in front of Chen Chao.

"This is a Main God Invitation Card. With it, becoming a reincarnator is easy."

Chen Chao’s eyes widened.

Now that reincarnators were public knowledge, he knew how rare this card was.

He never expected his little brother to hand one to him...

He stared at the card, hands trembling.

What man didn’t yearn for strength?

Reincarnators had always been Chen Chao’s secret envy.

Now, the chance was right in front of him. How could he stay calm?

"I—I..."

Seeing how emotional he was, Chen Ye gave a stern warning. "Big brother, before you accept this card, I have to say this clearly. Being a reincarnator isn’t as glorious as it seems. It’s extremely dangerous. Every mission is life or death. You need to think carefully."

Hearing this, Chen Chao immediately thought of his wife and child...

If he were single, he would’ve accepted without hesitation.

But now...

"Little bro... can I think it over?" Chen Chao asked with a wry smile.

"Of course."

Chen Ye stood up. "I’ll give you three days. Think carefully. I’ll come back then."

Chen Chao nodded, eyes fixed on the card.
