Walking around with Meowth on his shoulder, Qing Tian began looking for Han Sen around the shelter.

By now, Han Sen should've already returned to the shelter as himself and be heading to his own room.

"We're going to look for your new and favorite owner, Meowth," Qing Tian told the three-eyed cat.

Meow!

The cat meowed back as if it understood what Qing Tian had just told it. It didn't have the intelligence of a Sacred or Super pet, so this response is just sort of a feature so those who travel alone don't go crazy from having no one to talk to.

"Now, there he is," mumbled Qing Tian after finding Han Sen walking over to his own room.

...

"So you're giving me this Mutant pet?" asked Han Sen with a weird look on his face.

"Yeah."

"Why? Don't you know how useless these guys are and how much meat it will take just to unlock their combat forms?" asked Han Sen as he looked at the cat in front of him.

Meowth had already been handed over to Han Sen and summoned. Han Sen wanted to see the appearance of the pet beast soul, wondering what it looked like.

"You will understand in due time," said Qing Tian with a mysterious smile on his face. "Just don't feed it any meat at all. There will be a time when you know it will be the correct time. I will be there as well, so when you don't remember this time, I will tell you myself."

Han Sen kept quiet, looking at Qing Tian with a serious face.

Knowing that Qing Tian wouldn't say stuff like this with no reason behind his words, Han Sen made sure to remember every single word of Qing Tian's. He didn't understand what QIng Tian meant by when the time is right, but he knew for sure that it would be a very good opportunity for him to grow stronger.

"Okay," Han Sen said simply.

Qing Tian nodded back and said, "It will at most take a year or two before it can happen, but you will know even when I'm not there."

"That's good to know, but I'm guessing you won't tell me what this special event will be, right?" Han Sen asked.

Qing Tian just shook his head before leaving Han Sen behind.

"I'll see you at home, I'm heading out first," said Qing Tian with a wave of his hand.

…

Han Sen stayed back, looking at Qing Tian leave before shifting his gaze to the black cat.

"So, you're going to be a great addition to my future then," said Han Sen as he curiously looked at the cat from head to toe.

Meow…

Looking at the cat for a bit, Han Sen wondered what Qing Tian could have in store for him.

'Is there maybe something special here in First God's Sanctuary that he knows about that no one else does?'

Han Sen thought about it for a couple of seconds before shaking his head.

'It doesn't matter how he knows or what he knows, he might tell me in the future,' thought Han Sen as he placed the cat on his shoulders.

Purrr~

The cat began pouring as it laid on Han Sen's shoulder, enjoying the ride as he walked around.

'Still… I wonder what it is that Heaven has in store for me…'

…

Qing Tian returned home and continued looking online for new news, hoping to see if some blank spots were filled or new plants were introduced.

'Hmm… over twenty plants and fruits were introduced in this past half a month,' thought Qing Tian as he looked at the forum on Skynet.

The vegetation was all vast and many others were just repetitions of previous plants and Fruits discovered.

'None of these have yet to reveal what type of Creatures eat them or their effects,' thought Qing Tian as he continued to scroll through the forum.

It made sense that the people didn't bother with the Fruits or plants. The Fruits and plants of God's Sanctuary are very deadly for humans. Only Creatures of the Sanctuary could eat the vegetation of God's Sanctuary.

However, there was something the humans of the alliance didn't know.

The Creatures of the sanctuaries have an energy flow that allows them to eat the vegetation safely since it REFINES the energy within the vegetation. In this case, the humans of the sanctuary haven't figured out that they need a high level Hyper Geno Art, or Qigong, to REFINE the vegetation to safely eat them and reap some form of benefits.

Creatures, who have elemental and other various affinities, eat vegetation that brings them permanent benefits or timed buffs. The same case was with humans, however, compared to creatures, there weren't many vegetation that can enhance fitness even if for a certain amount of time.

Creatures on the other hand had various fruits that had this effect.

Humans, like creatures, also have these affinities and have to eat their fruits or else they will die if they don't ingest the correct fruit. Their Hyper Geno Art, or Qigong, also has an affinity, one that can grant the practitioner another affinity, or sometimes kill or weaken their practitioner.

It's all common knowledge that most cultivators know, especially in worlds where affinities are the only way to survive.

Qing Tian, is one of the most rare existences in existence that has an affinity to EVERYTHING. Including the affinity to No Affinity.

The No Affinity had various beneficial things that those with affinities couldn't have, which was why Qing Tian was a unique, yet impossible existence.

A person with affinity has a set path, maybe even more than two paths. The person with affinity can enjoy a large amount of strength but their potential is typically limited and their paths are closed once they choose one.

Yet one with No Affinity has no set path and their potential is limitless. They can continue changing paths and their potential will continue to remain boundless and infinite.

'Han Sen gets an affinity to every element after he attains his super body, or maybe it's after he ingests the Life Essence of mother Golden Growler,' thought Qing Tian as he continued to look at the various forum posts.

'Either way, humans can't eat these fruits without either having a really strong body or having a strong Hyper Geno Art or Qigong.'

Qing Tian decided to gather as many fruits and plants that could benefit him, his future wives, and his beast companions. That way their strength may increase and they could move unhindered in the future.

"I guess I now have to travel and get all these fruits and plants," muttered Qing Tian as he thought about the nearest six locations to Steel Armor Shelter.

Six different fruits of various colors and shapes.

"Tian'er! Come eat!"

'Well, that's that… I will have to visit these places sometime soon,' thought Qing Tian as he got up, turned off his computer and headed over to eat.

…

"Siiggghhhhhh~"

"What's with the long sigh?"

"I don't know, I just felt like something annoying was going to happen today..."

"Really? I feel like something interesting is about to happen."

Walking into a train, both Han Sen and Qing TIan were going to the Sanctuaries like always. The train was crowded and many people were bunched together into the train.

Train started and everyone was relaxed when suddenly the train shook violently and everyone standing fell to the sidelines.

'This is it!' thought Qing Tian as he quickly began circulating his Tempered Jade Star Essence Physique and time began to go to a halt.

His eyes looking around at rapid speeds, Qing Tian searched for Qin Xuan before moving over in front of her and bumping Han Sen off to the side.

As soon as that was accomplished Qing Tian enjoyed the moment of that slowed time for a couple more seconds before falling onto Qin Xuan, one hand on her breast.

With a purposeful squeeze of her breast, Qing Tian feigned being shocked by what had just happened.

"That stupid train conductor!" Qing Tian cursed as his hand gave Qin Xuan's breast another squeeze.

"You..!" Qin Xuan began to get angry, her face turned red and she looked up to see who's hand it was. When she noticed it was Qing Tian, her anger diminished, and when he cursed at the conductor, it lowered even more.

"Get off me!"

With embarrassment and little to no anger, Qin Xuan quickly had Qing Tian get his hand off her breast.

"Oh? Qin Xu-"

"Kyaa!"

Just as Qing Tian was about to begin talking with Qin Xuan, Qing Tian remembered about Han Sen who was pushed off to the side.

When Qing Tian turned to look, he found Han Sen pinning down a girl.

'Oh? Is this his future wife?'

Qing Tian smirked, wondering if this random young woman has just earned the luck of her life as the man pinning her down will be her future lover. The young woman was rather average looking, but the aura on her would attract people who would notice her. If she went unnoticed, no one would know she even existed.

Now, Han Sen had noticed and Qing Tian could see the sparkle in Han Sen's eye. A sort of spark that you can tell was love at first sight. Not like when he first saw Ji Yanran and slowly sweet talked her into a relationship when he didn't actually like her until she responded back.

"I-I'm sorry!" said Han Sen as he quickly stood back up straight, no longer pinning the girl to the wall of the train.

"'Sorry' doesn't cut it!"

The girl's face turned red and she slapped Han Sen on the face, "You will pay for this later! Give me your Comlink Contact information, I won't let you off this easily/"

Han Sen mumbled 'fine' and handed over his contact info to the girl before walking back to Qing Tian who was looking at him with a smile. Han Sen didn't notice the smile, what he did notice was Qin Xuan pinned underneath Qing TIan who was also looking at him with a smile.

"Who knew you had it in you," said Qing Tian with a light chuckle before standing up straight.

"Indeed, I didn't think you had it in you," said Qin Xuan with a smirk on her face before being helped to stand up by Qing Tian.

The both were so in sync that Qin Xuan unconsciously hugged Qing Tian, standing there together as they looked at Han Sen with teasing smiles.

"So, when are you going to get married to that chic'?" asked Qing Tian.

"What are you both talking about? I just met that girl," said Han Sen with a wave of his hand.

Qing Tian just narrowed his eyes and smiled even more. He knew when some people just hit it off, even when they just met. Han Sen and that girl before, even if they started off with the 'wrong foot', they were practically destined to meet the moment Qing Tian entered this world.

Cree~

The train came to a stop and finally arrived at the public teleport pads that send people to God's Sanctuary.

When Qing Tian walked out with Qin Xuan and Han Sen, the soldiers at the station stopped what they were doing and greeted Qin Xuan.

"Greetings Stationmaster!"

Qing Tian stood there with a smile and Han Sen paused, smiling wryly.

"Come on you both," said Qin Xuan as she led Qing Tian and Han Sen forward. Qin Xuan turned to QIng Tian and asked, "Have you thought about joining my squad yet?"

"I still need some time," said Qing Tian with a shake of his head. "What about that one 'thing' I asked about?"

"Oh, 'that'? Yeah, I have it prepared," said Qin Xuan with a smile before turning to look at Han Sen with a serious look on her face.

"What is it, stationmaster?" asked Han Sen with a wry smile as his eyes constantly shifted to Qing Tian many times.

"You're going to train from now on for two hours whenever you come to the station and leave it," said Qin Xuan as she called up a man. "This guy here will be your training partner, he has maxed out his Mutant geno points and I asked him to match his fitness with yours. I know that you have a good martial arts foundation, but now you need to build up on it by yourself."

"..." Han Sen sighed, looking at Qing Tian for a while before following the man to a training arena inside the station.

"Are you sure about this?" asked Qin Xuan.

"Definitely, he grows fast and in a month, he will defeat his training partner," said Qing Tian with a smile. "Make sure to have a Sacred-Blood sparring partner by next month."

"That'd be difficult to accomplish… but I'll have it done as long as you join my squad," said Qin Xuan with a flirting smile.
