Hearing Rulu's words, C.C. fell silent for a moment before sighing, "You humans really complicate things. Holding onto matters from so long ago, it's like you must fight to the death before you can let go. I truly don't understand your human thoughts."

Rulu raised an eyebrow and looked at C.C., saying, "What do you mean by 'you humans'? Aren't you human? You speak as if you are some kind of superior being. If you look down on humans so much, then why do you have a human face and use human language to talk to me, a human?"

C.C. was taken aback for a moment. She lowered her head and instinctively looked at her hands. Then, with a self-deprecating smile, she said, "You have a point. Whether I like it or not, I am human now, and perhaps I will always be human in the future."

After getting angry, Rulu gradually calmed down. He felt that being angry at C.C. was pointless and said, "Forget it, C.C. You aren't anyone to me, and you have no responsibility to help me. Giving me this Spiritual-power is already a huge help. Let's stop talking about this and head back."

As Rulu spoke, he began to walk towards the secret house, but C.C. remained in place, not moving. After walking about ten meters, Rulu noticed that C.C. had not followed and turned back, looking at her in surprise, "What's wrong, C.C.?"

"I knew your father a long time ago, and I understand him better than you do," C.C. murmured, looking down.

"What did you say?" Rulu didn't hear C.C. clearly as her voice was too soft, so he walked back to her side and asked again.

C.C. looked up, gazing at Rulu's face, and said, "Rulu, do you know why the Sanctuary started a war, invaded other countries, and constantly collected resources from around the world?"

Rulu hadn't expected C.C. to ask him this question. He thought for a moment and replied, "Of course, I know. The Sanctuary has no fixed territory; it doesn't belong to any continent in the world and is entirely man-made. The Sanctuary collects these resources from around the world to use them for building the Sanctuary."

"That's right," C.C. said slowly. "The land area of the Sanctuary was initially very small, only about the size of a small island. After hundreds of years of expansion, it has grown to the size of several provinces of the Huaxia Nation. Let me ask you again, Rulu, do you know why the Sanctuary doesn't occupy other lands as its territory but instead goes through so much trouble to collect resources from all over the world to build the Sanctuary?"

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Well..." Rulu pondered and said, "The environment of the Sanctuary is very special. The land and air composition there are different from ordinary places, filled with strange energy that can alter the constitution of life and even allow life to maintain eternal youth. The Sanctuary can be said to be a closed magical kingdom. To maintain this special environment, it must be built using special methods, which require collecting various special materials from around the world."

C.C. nodded and said, "As expected of the prince of the Sanctuary, you know quite a lot. Let me ask you, do you know why the Emperor of the Sanctuary is so eager to construct the Sanctuary? What is his ultimate goal?"

Without thinking, Rulu replied, "Of course, it's to expand the influence of the Sanctuary, making it the most powerful nation in the world, and then dominate and rule the world."

"No, you are wrong," C.C. denied Rulu's statement. "The ultimate goal of the Emperor of the Sanctuary is not to rule the world; on the contrary, his ultimate goal is to separate the Sanctuary from this world, completely isolating it from the real world."

"Separate from the world, isolating from reality, what are you talking about?" Rulu was a bit confused by C.C.'s words.

C.C. explained, "To put it simply, the Emperor of the Sanctuary wants to create a new world, a world that exists in an independent space-time dimension. It exists within our current space-time but does not belong to it. It can traverse time, reaching both the past and the future, completely unbound by time and space."

"Are... are you serious?" Rulu was stunned, instinctively thinking that C.C. was talking nonsense.

"Of course it's true," C.C. glanced at Rulu and continued, "Not only that, once this world is built, it can gain absolute control over Blue Star. As long as the Emperor wishes, he can control Blue Star to drift freely in the universe or even cause its complete destruction. He can even create a new Blue Star. This world can be said to be the world of gods."

After hearing C.C.'s words, Rulu stared in disbelief, "No, that's impossible. That Emperor can't possibly do such things."

C.C. smiled sarcastically and said, "Whether you want to believe it or not, this is the ultimate goal of the Emperor of the Sanctuary, and it is also what he is currently doing."

Rulu seemed to be in immense shock. His face was filled with horror, and he held his head with both hands, muttering, "No, it’s impossible. If that Emperor can really do such things, if he truly possesses such immense power, then I could never defeat him. I could never win against him... it’s impossible..."
