Return to the Vast Land, the Road Once Traveled!

Sometimes, living is far more painful than dying.

Chen Ning begged Yao Li to kill him, as he couldn't face or accept his current self.

But Yao Li took Chen Ning and left the Dragon-Tiger Realm.

Together with him, we walked back to the path we used to take.

I hope he can regain the courage he has lost.

First stop.

That is the Vast Land!

This is also where Chen Ning and Yao Li first met.

At the same time.

There are also many people here who are very important to Chen Ning.

Yao Li wanted to try this method to awaken Chen Ning.

Brocade Zither City.

Inside the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

Chen Ning stepped inside.

Seven figures stood up in surprise from their seats: Nalan Yao, Sui Qingshan, Old Man Yang, Xue Rang, Ding Erliang Bai Ziyu, and Lü Xiaochuan.

In addition, there Yao Li, who came in with Chen Ning.

This time.

All the members of "So Close Yet Worlds Apart" have arrived.

This Brocade Zither City was also the place where Chen Ning first gathered them.

But that one time...

Lü Xiaochuan and Yao Li were both absent.

This is undoubtedly a precious memory for Chen Ning.

Without the help of those So Close Yet Worlds Apart, Chen Ning would not have been able to gain a foothold in Vast Land.

"Leader!"

Nalan Yao gazed at him with deep affection.

"Greetings, Leader!"

Ding Erliang, Bai Ziyu, and even Xue Rang, whose face was usually icy cold, all broke into bright smiles.

"Long time no see, the leader's demeanor remains as impressive as ever."

Sui Qingshan spoke in a very elegant manner.

"That's outrageous! Why are you only thinking of coming back now?"

Ever since Chen Ning teased Lü Xiaochuan about how good she looked in men's clothing, she has been determined to go back to wearing women's clothing.

"The leader's eyes seem to have aged considerably; life in the God Realm must have been very difficult."

Old Man Yang smiled contentedly, but Chen Ning noticed that he had secretly wiped away a tear.

"You..."

Chen Ning's eyes reddened slightly; it was so good to see these familiar people.

"We were all summoned here by this little girl."

The Old Man Yang was referring to Yao Li.

It was Yao Li who reunited them.

"Honestly, if she hadn't said it was the Little Dingzi who was back, I wouldn't have given her any face."

Ding Erliang's smile remained lewd.

But at this moment, it looks quite welcoming.

"Chief, you seem to have changed somewhat?"

Bai Ziyu still carried a folding fan, exuding elegance.

Certainly.

He could see it, and so could everyone else.

They are all shrewd and calculating.

How could I not notice Chen Ning's changes?

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning remained silent.

Faced with everyone's doubts.

Yao Li leisurely picked up a teapot from the table, took a sip, and said, "He was instilled with the Seed of Fear by the Demon Emperor. Now, he has lost all his former glory. Everyone can start laughing now."

Upon hearing this...

Everyone present was stunned.

Their eyes were filled with deep worry.

Nalan Yao stepped forward, swaying gracefully, her charm undiminished. She gently took Chen Ning's arm, her eyes reddening, and said, "Chief, you must have suffered so much... Yao'er feels so sorry for you."

Ding Erliang cursed, "Damn Demon Emperor! So what if he's the Demon Emperor? Does he dare show his back to Grandpa Ding? I'll stab him to death!"

Yao Li interjected, "Let me interrupt you. The Demon Emperor only needs to lift a finger, Goddess Holy Radiance will die."

"This..."

Ding Erliang was speechless for a moment, but stubbornly said, "Then Grandpa Ding can spit on him and disgust him to death!"

"Alright, stop fooling around."

After speaking, the Old Man Yang looked at Yao Li and asked, "So, when you and the leader returned to the Vast Land, is there any way to help the leader recover?"

The Old Man Yang's question was also the question of everyone present.

They all looked at Yao Li expectantly.

The latter shook his head. "Even the God Realm can't do it, how could the Vast Land possibly have a solution?"

Upon hearing this...

Everyone's expression darkened.

"However, perhaps you can."

These words reignited everyone's hopes. Ding Erliang rubbed his forehead and said, "Can you stop breathing so heavily? Are you trying to scare Grandpa Ding to death?"

Sui Qingshan also said in a deep voice, "If there's anything I can do to help you, just say the word."

"It wasn't me, it was us."

Bai Ziyu added, "We'd do anything to help the leader recover, even go through Mountain Foot Fire."

Surprisingly, Xue Rang also spoke up, "Me too."

"Don't worry, I only said maybe. It's hard to say for sure. I brought him back so that he could remember what he once had, which might help him overcome that Seed of Fear."

"How is the old leader? Is there no way to deal with it either?"

At this moment, Lü Xiaochuan suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

Everyone's expressions lit up. In their eyes, the old leader was Divine Ability powerful and unfathomable.

Yao Li silent.

At this moment.

Chen Ning looked at Lü Xiaochuan and said, "My ancestor... he... has fallen... I'm sorry... I didn't take good care of him... He sacrificed his life for the God Realm."

Upon hearing this...

The atmosphere in the entire room was tense.

Lü Xiaochuan was also quite sentimental. Unlike the other members of the So Close Yet Worlds Apart, she had the deepest feelings for the First Generation master and disciple. At first, she was very Qi Ingestion that her master had prepared everything for Chen Ning.

But she was merely a guardian.

She wanted to prove to her mentor that she could be just as outstanding.

After going through many things with Chen Ning, she gradually came to understand things, and what she felt most was longing and gratitude for her master.

But now I hear this devastating news.

This made her very sad.

She never had the chance to prove her excellence to her master again.

Seeing everyone again, though So Close Yet Worlds Apart, brought Chen Ning not only no relief from his Seed of Fear, but also a great deal of comfort to his soul.

Chen Ning also felt a rare sense of relief.

"Chief, I know where you want to go next. Although I am very reluctant, I will still take you there."

Nalan Yao gently took Chen Ning's arm and stepped out of the hall.

The other members, though So Close Yet Worlds Apart, quietly followed suit.

Soon.

The group arrived at the City of Light.

This is the core territory of the Light God Clan.

Chen Ning looked up and surveyed the imposing city gate.

I remember when I first came to this city, it wasn't easy to get in, because Nalan Yao and the others had been sacrifices and were considered unlucky.

But.

Things are completely different now.

Because of Chen Ning, the people from "Close at Hand, So Close Yet Worlds Apart" are quite legendary in the Vast Land; they were once the subordinates of the person who saved the world.

They have completely shed their ominous reputation.

Nalan Yao said softly, "Chief, we owe our current status and position entirely to you. You sacrificed your own life force to save countless lives in the Vast Land. Now, no one in the Vast Land is unaware of your name."

Nalan Yao said.

Everyone wore expressions of pride.

Nalan Yao wanted to use this method to bring back Chen Ning's lost courage and charm.

But Chen Ning did not suffer from amnesia.

He remembers all of this. It is precisely because he is so clear about what he once possessed that he finds it so hard to accept now that he has lost it.
