And precisely because Wyatt Barnes had never mentioned his past life to Lainey Don, Lainey Don knew nothing about the ties between him and "Earth," that is, "Flame‑Yellow Star."

For that reason, when she heard Wyatt Barnes call Flame‑Yellow Star "Earth," Lainey Don was utterly baffled.

Leaving aside Lainey Don’s bafflement over here.

On the other side, Wyatt Barnes had already flickered once and entered Earth.

Earth—never mind the boundless starry sky, even within the Milky Way Galaxy, it was just a small planet.

Just three months ago, the homeworld "Satterly Star" of the Coste star system that Wyatt Barnes had visited was, in terms of size, over a hundred times larger than Earth...

Because Earth was too small, with just a single thought, Wyatt Barnes’s Divine Sense had already enveloped the entire planet.

Everything on Earth was laid bare under his Divine Sense, with nowhere to hide!

"Decades have passed... Earth has actually changed this much?"

As Wyatt Barnes’s Divine Sense shrouded the entire planet, he clearly perceived the changes on Earth; it was nothing like the Earth in his past‑life memories!

Although Earth’s technology still couldn’t compare with that of some technological planets in the Milky Way Galaxy...

Compared to the Earth in Wyatt Barnes’s past‑life memories, the current technological level of Earth was several centuries more advanced than it had been just a few decades ago!

"It’s only been a few decades... How could Earth have changed this drastically?"

The fact that Earth’s technology had advanced by several hundred years in just a few decades left Wyatt Barnes shocked.

"And also... some of the humans on Earth—their souls are actually as strong as those of people from the Coste star system, no weaker than mine?"

Wyatt Barnes’s Divine Sense swept across the entire globe, deliberately probing those humans whose auras were extraordinary, and he discovered that:

Among these humans, quite a few had souls strong enough to rival his own!

One had to know, his soul was at the level of a "half‑step immortal"!

That was also the extreme that the soul of an ordinary human in a mundane plane could reach.

As for a "Scattered Immortal," that had already stepped beyond the category of ordinary humans!

"What is it? Did you find something off?"

At some point, Lainey Don had also entered Earth from outer space and had easily found Wyatt Barnes.

She and Wyatt Barnes were both half‑step immortals; their souls were equivalent, and their Divine Sense was about the same. They could easily envelop the entire Earth, so it wasn’t hard for her to locate Wyatt Barnes.

"I remember you told me that the reason people from the Coste star system could have souls that reached the limit of ordinary humans in a mundane plane... was because they took gene potions."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Lainey Don and said, "You also said that those gene potions only raised their souls to the extreme attainable by ordinary humans in a mundane plane... but they still couldn’t extend their souls into Divine Sense, much less unleash soul attacks!"

Back in the Coste star system, when he’d first encountered its people, the moment Wyatt Barnes extended his Divine Sense, he’d discovered that their soul strength was no weaker than his.

Later, he learned from Lainey Don that the souls of the Coste star system’s people had only become that strong because they’d taken gene potions, and they could neither extend Divine Sense nor perform soul attacks.

Of course, even so, it was still impossible for him to deal with people of the Coste star system using soul attacks.

Because the soul strength of the Coste star system’s people was no weaker than his own, with extremely strong innate defense; his soul attacks simply couldn’t harm them.

"But... how come some people here have souls that strong as well?"

By the end, Wyatt Barnes was looking at Lainey Don again, somewhat perplexed.

"The reason their souls are strong is half due to gene potions... however, because the gene potions they took are far too low‑grade, they have to repeatedly break through their bodily limits and, by strengthening their willpower, raise their souls to the extreme—reaching a level comparable to ours."

After extending her Divine Sense, Lainey Don also locked onto those on Earth whose soul strength could rival hers and Wyatt Barnes’s, and she quickly discovered the "reason."

"And because of that, some among them can use their souls to sense certain things between heaven and earth... for example, certain natural elements."

As she said this, Lainey Don’s Divine Sense locked onto a certain place on Earth.

There, two people were currently fighting.

Right after, Lainey Don produced a Jade Slip densely inscribed with patterns, merged her Divine Sense into it, and then crushed it...

Whoosh!

The next moment, a constantly shifting mirror‑like image appeared before her.

This ever‑changing mirror image was exactly the scene probed by Lainey Don’s Divine Sense: a man and a woman were in combat, and the way they fought was very peculiar—one controlled fire, the other controlled lightning...

"This seems... somewhat like a Taoist Cultivator."

Wyatt Barnes murmured.

There was another sentence he didn’t say out loud...

Namely, that these two looked even more like the "espers" from those sci‑fi movies he’d watched in his previous life.

"They’re not Taoist Cultivators; they’re ’Superpowered Soldiers.’"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s murmur, Lainey Don shook her head. "Superpowered Soldiers, generally speaking, are the ’products’ of places whose technological level is neither high nor low."

"Because their technology is middling, the gene potions they’ve developed are also extremely low‑grade and can’t directly raise a person’s soul to the extreme."

"Just as I said earlier: in this situation, anyone who can, by breaking their bodily limits and strengthening their will, elevate their soul to the extreme can use their soul to sense the natural elements between heaven and earth..."

"And once someone perceives the natural elements between heaven and earth and then controls them, that person is a ’Superpowered Soldier’!"

"Just like them..."

Lainey Don spoke as she looked at the two people in the mirrored image before her. "They are exactly ’Superpowered Soldiers’."

"Why... didn’t you mention this to me before?"

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help being stunned.

"I never mentioned it because there was no need."

Lainey Don shook her head and said, "These Superpowered Soldiers, unless they get a special opportunity and become half-baked cultivators... otherwise, their achievements are extremely limited."

"Forget us cultivators—even an ordinary person from that Kostar Star System, piloting the lowest-grade mech, can easily kill the elites among Superpowered Soldiers!"

Hearing this, Wyatt Barnes understood why Lainey Don never brought up ’Superpowered Soldiers’.

In Lainey Don’s eyes, Superpowered Soldiers were like ants, utterly insignificant; she felt there was no need to mention them at all...

"In these past few decades... what exactly happened on Earth?"

"In just a few short decades, Earth’s technology has leapt ahead by several hundred years..."

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes had far, far too many doubts in his heart.

"Fortunately, my motherland is still here... and nearly half of the humans on Earth whose souls have reached the limit are in my motherland, the H Kingdom."

After probing this with his Divine Sense, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help letting out a breath of relief.

In his previous life, he had been an orphan. He didn’t know who his parents were, nor whether he had any family still alive...

Later, however, his motherland nurtured him, so he devoted himself wholly to his country, and after becoming the most outstanding ’Weapon King’, he fought to win every kind of honor for it. Even after he retired, he still silently protected his motherland from the shadows.

Those who offend my motherland, though far away, will be punished!

This was a ’conviction’ in Wyatt Barnes’ previous life, an unshakable conviction.

Even now, it remained the same.

Precisely because of that conviction, he had been framed by his manager in his previous life and ended up dying because of it...

"That bastard... I wonder if he’s still alive..."

"If he’s still alive... he must be doing pretty well right now!"

When it came to that ’manager’ from his previous life, Wyatt Barnes knew him all too well—he absolutely refused to be Ray, and indeed had the ability to make himself extraordinary.

In his previous life, it was his manager who had come to him first.

The reason the other party was able to gain his trust and become his manager was that the man had once saved his life...

Although, even without the other party’s help that time, he wouldn’t have died; he could have escaped successfully at the cost of serious injuries.

But he had always repaid kindness, so he agreed to the man’s request and kept him by his side.

Afterward, the man worked diligently. After spending a long time together, Wyatt, who had no relatives or friends, came to regard him as a ’brother’.

He had simply never imagined that—

In the end, it was precisely this man he saw as a ’brother’ who betrayed him!

"I hope you’re still alive..."

With that thought, when Wyatt Barnes’ Divine Sense spread out again, he began carefully probing those people on Earth whose souls had reached the extreme.

These people were all elites among Superpowered Soldiers.

The reason he started with these people was because Wyatt subconsciously believed:

Since Earth had undergone such enormous changes over just a few decades,

regardless of what had caused those changes, given what he knew of his manager, the man would never miss such a ’chance’. He would definitely use that keen nose of his to secure maximum benefits for himself!

"So he really is here!"

Initially, Wyatt Barnes had only been speculating whether his former manager might be among the hundred-plus top Superpowered Soldiers whose souls had reached the limit on Earth. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He hadn’t expected that the man would really be there!

Under the meticulous search of his Divine Sense, he found his manager from his previous life among those hundred-plus top Superpowered Soldiers.

Dozens of years had passed, yet his former manager’s appearance hadn’t changed at all; he still looked just as young...

Wyatt Barnes wasn’t surprised by this.

With Earth’s current level of technology, certain genetic potions were already enough to preserve a youthful appearance...

Of course, that youth was limited to the surface.

As for the aging of the internal organs, with Earth’s current technology, it could only be slowed down to a certain extent.

"Good thing you didn’t die... I was really worried you might be dead!"

A cold, fierce light flashed in Wyatt Barnes’ eyes.
