If I Refuse, Who Can Seize It

The Life‑Death Star hung motionless; the entrance to the manor was silent. Victor Wu stood respectfully at Andrew Han's side, his expression shifting like the tides.

"What... what is all this?"

Andrew Han was at a loss for words, staring at his Star‑Gate Martial Communicator as if it might explode.

He watched for a while.

After a brief look, he had basically pieced together what had happened and began to ponder inwardly.

Immunity...

Spark‑Heritage Paragon of the Age...

Why would the Spark‑Heritage Zone issue such a wild, over‑the‑top announcement... Andrew stood at the manor gate, sunlight shining down, a gentle breeze stirring the folds of his green robe, while Victor Wu waited quietly beside him.

The communicator's screen was still flashing wildly, real‑time messages leaping like billions of fish, bursting from the water and flying straight into his eyes.

There were formulaic notifications from the Spark‑Heritage Zone.

There were friend requests from Primeval Gate Geniuses.

There were also countless congratulations, inquiries, and curious messages from familiar friends—all jumbled together, too many to count.

Even as a Stellar Palace‑tier cultivator, Andrew Han felt a bit stunned; there was simply no way to process such a flood of messages. Watching the notifications jump across his communicator, his own eyelids twitched. "Forget the formulaic Spark‑Heritage notifications. But why do so many people want to add me as a friend—mainly those from the Primeval Gate?"

"Why add me? What do they want?"

"Kind and pure as I am, I'm not accepting any appointments."

Andrew wanted to righteously refuse, but he knew perfectly well why the Primeval Gate Geniuses were adding him—they all coveted the Spark‑Heritage Paragon of the Age seat.

"Your Highness," Victor Wu looked at Andrew Han.

Andrew Han gave Victor Wu a faint smile. "No wonder you're so agitated. To think the Spark‑Heritage Zone issued such an announcement, and I—the person involved—am only finding out now."

This was a huge deal.

So huge that Andrew Han was genuinely shocked, his heart rippling with emotion.
