Legend had it that there was a place that was evergreen all year round. Every piece of land was filled with food that could fill one's stomach. Every breath of air carried the fragrance of freedom. Every ray of light was gentle, just enough to make one feel warm without burning one's eyes. Every stream of water there was sweet, always able to relieve all the tiredness and pain of the weary.
There was also the most beautiful building there. Trees grew there, and a cool breeze blew. All the beauty and sweetness of the world gathered there. Everyone who went there would be amazed and worshipped.
It was not a fantasy paradise. All of this appeared in front of Quill's eyes. It appeared in the touch of his fingers. It appeared in his nose. It appeared in front of his eyes. Everything was as beautiful as a painting.
In front of his eyes, even the sky presented a beautiful and naughty blue light. There was also a delicately carved fountain. The golden fish in the fountain spun in the air with the flow of water, completely defying gravity. It looked like it was welcoming a new guest.
Quill followed Igo through the completely natural path. In the daze of heaven, he seemed to have lost all ability to think. He could only hear Igo's chatter.
"Why... why is this place different from other planets?"
Quill couldn't help but ask. Igo looked back at him and said, "Because your mother believes in God, my son. Even if she has never been here before, I will make a heaven for her as a gift …"
Hearing this, Quill didn't say anything else. He just followed Igo in silence.
"I don't know where I came from..."
Passing through the picturesque jungle, Quill followed Igo into the super-large temple decorated with green crystals. Immediately, he saw a model of an alloy spaceship suspended above the ground. Igo walked to it and reached out his hand. A ball of light that looked like a human brain shone in it. It was a projection. As the projection shone, Igo's voice sounded again.
"Millions of years ago, when I used my mind to observe the universe for the first time, what I saw was the first ray of shining starlight. It flashed over my head and brought me to see this world... lonely, cold, silent, and lifeless."
Igo looked at the projection of the planet's mind and said softly, "Giving birth to intelligence is very difficult, especially for an existence like me. I spent countless years to learn a little bit, such as creating and transforming energy for my own use."
Following Igo's description, milky white light began to surge around the Galaxy Brain that spanned across the stars in the projection, just like the light belts that had destroyed the battleships previously. In the stars outside the Galaxy Brain, they formed lines of defense one after another. Finally, they formed this world, the world under Quill's feet.
"I've spent many, many years, my son. It's a long time that your little brain can't imagine. I've been searching. I've been wandering among the stars. Guess what I've been looking for?"
Igo turned around and looked at Quill. The latter was stunned for a moment before he spoke hesitantly.
"Same kind? You said you were alone, didn't you? "
"No!"
Igo stretched out a finger and said solemnly, "I am searching for the meaning of my existence! I believe that since I was born in this universe, there must be a meaning to my birth. And my meaning does not come from my own kind, but from mortals … from ordinary life! "
Seeing that Quill did not quite understand, Igo thought for a moment and used a more direct way of saying it.
"Observe! Do you understand? My son, observe the reproduction of those life forms. Then I used my own power to create a body for myself to wander the universe. I want to experience this. I want to experience the true meaning and meaning of being born as a human. I must go among them. I must become them. I must observe them. In the end, I must surpass them … "
Igo stood in front of his towering throne. He turned around and spread out his hands to his son.
"I was born as a god. Son, I have to know how to be a good god."
Igo was not too arrogant, as if he was saying something very normal.
"I'm different from those Joker Gods. They don't know what true power is. They can't wait to crown themselves with the title of god. In my opinion, they are so ridiculous. But I'm still not really ready to become a god … "
"Why?"
Quill asked, rubbing his head. "If you are really as strong as you say, you shouldn't hesitate …"
"Because I can't let it go, Quill, my son."
Igo raised his left hand, and another projection appeared beside his hand. It was the scene of him and Quill's mother hugging and kissing when they were young.
"I can't let it go. A powerful god can't even keep his lover. I can only slowly miss her in a lonely starry sky … until you came!"
This powerful cosmic life form stepped forward and looked at Quill.
"I've been waiting for you for too long, Quill. When you master the power you should have, we can return to Earth together and bring your mother back together …"
To be honest, Peter Jason Quill was really tempted for a moment, but just as he had the urge to agree to Igo's request, a question that had been buried in his heart since he was young popped up.
"If you really love her as much as you say, why did you leave her?"
"If you really love me as much as you say, why did you send Yondu, a notorious criminal who was expelled from the Space Pirates for violating the commandment of trafficking children, to pick me up?"
The loneliness that Quill had hidden in his heart for more than ten years came out at this moment. He shouted crazily at his father.
"Do you know that my mother told everyone that my father is an alien? Do you know how they treated her?"
"Do you know what my mother said to me before she died? That woman waited for you for eight years! Even before she died, she was waiting for you to go back and pick her up! "
"Do you know how much I suffered at Yondu's hands? Do you know how much a child has to pay to grow up in that kind of environment? You! You don't know anything! "
The power of anger filled Quill's body. Perhaps it had finally reached the place where the other half of the bloodline in his body was. In short, the emotional fluctuation this time made Quill's hands overflow with a lightning-like halo, covering his palms and arms. He waved his fists excitedly. This scene made Igo's eyes, who had a painful expression, become brighter and brighter.
"You! It's you! The one I've been waiting for … is you! "
He stepped forward and grabbed Quill's hands, but Quill broke free. The young man looked at the face in front of him, the man named Father. He thought of the discrimination his mother suffered, the pain, and the treatment that was enough to make any ordinary person go crazy. An irrepressible impulse surged in his heart, and he punched Igo in the face.
"How can you bear to abandon such a great woman and let her die of old age alone! Bastard! You bastard! "
Bang!
In the midst of the electric arc, the supreme ruler of this planet was smashed to the ground in a sorry state. This scene caused Mantis to scream and rush over to help Igo up, but Igo reached out to stop her. He stood up from the ground, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. Obviously, Quill's punch was not simple, and Quill's scalp went numb when he saw this scene.
What did I do? In those lonely days in the past, he thought every day about how good it would be if he had a father. Now that his father had come, he slapped him. What's wrong with me? Am I crazy?
"Don't worry, my son."
Igo smiled heartily and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth. He stepped forward, grabbed Quill's arms, and said sincerely, "You will never imagine it.
"You will never be able to imagine it. I don't even want to stay on Earth without your mother for even a second. You will never be able to imagine the pain of losing a loved one. But believe me, I already have a way to get her back. I need your help!
His eyes were filled with the benevolence of a father, and he said softly,
"Let me teach you how to use the power you were born with. At least give me a chance to be the perfect father your mother imagined her son should be..."
"Promise me, okay?"
"Okay... okay!"
Quill, who seemed to feel the sincerity of Igo in front of him, nodded with difficulty. He did not notice that behind him, the antennae on Mantis's head were faintly glowing.

"We've been speeding up these days."
Rocket Raccoon yawned as he drove the boat. He turned his head to look at Yondu, who was also sitting in the driver's seat beside him. This blue-skinned, bearded guy looked unhappy. Rocket's eyes rolled around, and he asked in a deep voice,
"I say, Yondu, where the hell is that damn place? We're almost across the entire Galaxy Triangle. "
"Don't worry, it'll take at least three more days!"
Yondu said softly, "The place where that monster lives is very remote. Although I've never seen a monster of that level, I can guess that it's not strong enough. It's still growing... It's afraid of something. It carefully hides itself with a dead world. Even when it comes to finding its own bloodline, it needs to ask us to help it."
"Does that sound like a coward?"
Gamora, who was sharpening the blade with a whetstone, suddenly said, "Then why would this coward risk being discovered, hire you to find his own children, and kill those weaklings who haven't awakened some damn bloodline of the universe?"
"It's just because they're not qualified, little girl, there's no other reason."
Yondu was silent for a moment, then said, "As for why? Probably because he's very hungry. You see, if you're a growing little beast and you want to eat meat, but all I give you are leaves, would you care about the life and death of those leaves? "
"You mean, Quill is that piece of meat? Because of the other half of the bloodline in his body? "
Rocket's black eyes suddenly widened, and his ears pricked up. "Didn't he hire you to find an excellent heir?"
"When did I tell you …"
Yondu's gaze fell on an ugly troll doll on the bridge. It was a gift that Quill bought for Yondu with the first sum of money he earned when he was a child. The Star Hunter's gaze became very subtle at this moment. He whispered, "Don't worry.
"Igor is looking for an heir? How can a lunatic like him be selfless enough to cultivate another god? If I have a piece of lean meat, I won't eat it immediately. I'll feed it food, fatten it up, and then … eat it! "
These words sent a chill down everyone's spine. They originally thought that Igor killed those children because they were useless to him, and since Quill had the bloodline of the Heavenly God of the universe, he was at least temporarily safe. But now, it seemed that this was not the case …
"The purer the bloodline in his body, the faster his power is developed, and the closer he is to death!"
Yondu's fists had unknowingly clenched, and his eyes narrowed. "With Quill's character, it's difficult for him to see through Igor's disguise. Even we … If it weren't for the unexpected engine shutdown, we would've been kept in the dark."
"Hey!"
A call came from behind everyone. Kamora turned her head and saw her younger sister whose hands were chained up. It was Nebula who betrayed her, colluding with Luo Nan to steal the power stone, and escaping by herself when Luo Nan died in battle. She was a woman whose entire body had been transformed into machinery. Although she had been transformed beyond recognition, from the little bit of skin that was left, she should have been a beauty before she was transformed.
"Deviate 45 degrees to the next star coordinate. After sailing for two light years, there is a newly-born starship graveyard there, and there are traces of a large energy impact."
Nebula looked at these people in front of her, and her eyes flashed with undisguised killing intent. But the Hezrou summoned by Sim was watching her all the time, and with the handcuffs on her wrists, it would be difficult for her to escape if nothing unexpected happened. So she had to work for these bastards in front of her in order to survive.
"In other words … the person you are chasing, if nothing unexpected happened, he should still be there two days ago at most!"
