Return to Old Earth
In front of the familiar gate, Wang Xuan led the little girl over and asked the robot to take a picture. Lele either sat on his shoulders or was lifted high, with a pure and happy smile on her face.
However, in the first few photos, she was smiling, but also with tears in her eyes, unable to control herself.
"My mother... died of illness. She left while I was in a coma, and I will never see her again," the little girl recounted.
There is no cure for the Five Decays of Heaven and Man Disease. The whole family are indigenous people, and sooner or later they will all experience that helpless and pitiful situation.
She was taken in to an orphanage not far from here. At a young age, she lost her parents and relatives far too early, leaving her all alone.
During the time she was in a coma, her snow-white kitten also disappeared, most likely becoming a stray cat.
In this day and age, orphans are very rare. With advanced technology and high medical standards, it is rare for families to abandon their young children.
The orphanage was very small, with only a few children and even fewer people to care for them. They attended schools nearby.
Every time the little girl Lele misses her parents, she comes here to linger, looking at the familiar gate, but she has never gone inside.
"Lele, do you want a change of scenery, to leave here and go to a strange city?" Wang Xuan asked her.
If possible, he wanted to take her to his Old Earth; after all, his parents were quite free now, so he could leave her in their care.
The little girl hesitated, her eyes reddening, and said, "I can't bear to leave here. My dad and mom are in the cemetery by the Zhou River outside the city. I want to visit them often."
Suddenly, a robot spoke up, "She is ill, very seriously ill. Without special treatment, she won't live much longer."
Wang Xuan looked up at them. The five robots were old and broken, bearing the vicissitudes of time, like travelers who had traversed most of the universe. They actually knew these things and knew about the Transcendent Immortals Disease.
"Do you have a solution?" he asked proactively.
He possesses a "slow-acting medicine" for the Five Decays of Heaven and Man Disease, as well as the Earth Immortal Spring, which should be able to prolong her life for a while, but cannot cure it completely.
A robot with a missing arm nodded and said, "It can be treated conservatively, but it's quite troublesome and requires years of treatment. It's estimated that it can be cured before adulthood."
Wang Xuan was moved. In this world, all kinds of medical methods had been exhausted to no avail, yet these Old Ji from an unknown era actually had the means to cure the Transcendent Immortals Disease.
"We can treat and adopt her," another robot with a large hole in its chest said. It had a human-like body with metal hair and wooden hairpins, somewhat resembling Mechanical Taoist.
Wang Xuan looked at them. If they could cure Lele on the spot, he would definitely agree. These robots came from the depths of the universe and their identities were unknown. They actually wanted to adopt Lele, which made him a little suspicious.
The one-armed robot spoke, "Though we have metal bodies, our hearts are not cold. We received a faint call and awoke from our slumber, embarking on the road back, simply to reclaim the days of the past."
Another robot added, "There was a person who also had this disease and died a long time ago. When we saw this child, we were reminded of her."
"Who is that person?" Wang Xuan asked, still somewhat uneasy. How could they possibly believe their one-sided account?
"Our captain has been dead for many ages." A robot with a glowing chest projected a woman onto the scene.
She looked very young, in her early twenties, with beautiful long purple hair, bright eyes, and a pale, sickly beauty.
"Hundreds of years after her death, we found a cure for this disease."
The following photos and videos are not so beautiful. The Five Decays of Heaven and Man Disease have occurred, and the body has lost its vitality and beauty. The body is deformed and suffers various kinds of pain.
"Astronaut!" Wang Xuan noticed that in some of the photos, her clothing was very similar to the "Dreadful Spirit-like" he had seen, and she also kept mythical creatures as pets.
He was puzzled. This was a disease of Transcendent Immortals, and the astronaut had died from it as well?
"What era are you from, and what is your origin?" Wang Xuan asked.
The robots remained silent and did not respond.
Finally, someone spoke up, "All you need to know is that we pose no threat to you, and we mean you no harm. Our people have gone, Vanished, and will never return. We are the remnants of the fallen army; our mothership was damaged on the way and has been lying dormant ever since. We have returned only to seek out familiar traces and relive an ancient memory."
Wang Xuan frowned. The identity of these mechanical life forms was definitely not simple. According to what he knew, they had hunted Innate God-Demon back then!
Mech Number Five once defined the Transcendent Immortals as Innate God-Demon!
Furthermore, Mech Number Five recognized the third-generation owner of the Soul Locking Bell. That bell must have been from a very ancient time, and it wasn't crafted by a living immortal.
The one-armed robot spoke, "Our meeting with you was purely by chance. We noticed strange Energy Substance on your body, and even sensed that you possessed something that could threaten us, so we silently followed you for a while."
Seeing his hesitation, the robot that resembled a Daoist priest spoke up, "She was going to die anyway. Do you think we would want anything from her?"
"Lele, what do you think?" Wang Xuan asked the little girl.
"I feel that they, like you, Uncle, are pitying me and treating me very well. They don't have any bad intentions," Lele said.
"Okay!" Wang Xuan nodded.
As the sun set, the little girl waved repeatedly, tears streaming down her face. She sat on the shoulder of a robot, watching Wang Xuan's departing figure, her gaze lingering on him.
In the distance, Wang Xuan turned back one last time, smiled gently at her, and left Yuan City.
As the sun set, he felt at peace, and the last vestige of regret in the city vanished. Just before leaving New Star, he unexpectedly encountered her again.
"Old Chen, how's the result?" he contacted Chen Yongjie.
"Not bad, I got three more pieces of true bone. I think I can still gain something. Anyway, I need to hurry up and accumulate some cultivation resources."
Wang Xuan remained silent. Old Chen had become stronger, wielding the Soul Locking Bell and the Conch Shell. Had he transformed into a Fighting Divine Monk? He was addicted to Slay Demon, and was now frantically pursuing the true bones of the demon race.
In this battle, all sides were doing their best to hunt down the last demon, which lasted all night and only came to an end the next morning.
The demons in the Demon Ancestor Qi Yi's camp were almost wiped out, if not completely destroyed, suffering a devastating blow!
Behind the Great Curtain, deep within a towering mountain range, blood-red clouds rise and fall, shrouding the heavens and earth, sometimes dispersing and sometimes gathering—that is the breathing of the demon ancestor within the mountain!
His breathing always seemed to change the very color of the world.
Outside the mountain, the second son of the Demon Ancestor learned of the bloodbath that had occurred in the mortal world. His face was extremely gloomy, and terrifying lightning flashed in his eyes as he opened and closed them, a scene comparable to the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
"We used the Ancestor Blood from the Demon Pool and sent a group of talented people, yet we suffered such a miserable defeat? This is an unprecedented disgrace!" he roared in anger.
"Send out some more famous powerful demons!"
"Send them out? The Ancestor Blood in the Demon Pool is only for when the Demon Ancestor leads us across realms as a last resort. How many drops can you possibly waste? A bunch of useless trash!" The Demon Ancestor's Second Son roared in fury, his killing intent soaring to the heavens.
As time goes by, old agreements loosen, and the later you cross over, the easier it is and the lower the cost.
New Star outer space, Wang Xuan and Chen Yongjie bid farewell to acquaintances. Zhao Zejun, Wu Chenglin, and others were about to depart and enter the deep universe.
After this parting, I don't know if we'll ever meet again; some people might never come back.
In fact, almost half of the major organizations have left this time. All the factions that launched attacks against the demons have decisively taken to the air and will leave New Star.
"Goodbye!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Wang Xuan used his Spiritual Heavenly Eye the fleet and found nothing wrong, then they parted ways in outer space.
Zhao Zejun and others gave Wang Xuan a large warship, which was then stationed in outer space.
Guan Lin, Qin Cheng, and some members of Old Chen's secret organization were picked up by a small spaceship and are ready to set sail at any time to return to their Old Earth.
"There's still some finishing touches to be done," Wang Xuan said as he and Chen Yongjie boarded a small spaceship and returned to the surface of New Star.
He was going to take the small to medium-sized warship he had exchanged for the Earth Immortal Spring with him, and he couldn't leave the large warship that Old Zhong had given him here either. In addition, he was going to find some people in the Agon Zaibatsu to collect debts.
Three days ago, when he and Chen Yongjie wanted to use the warship to fight the demons, Zhou Yun urgently reminded him that the demons were colluding with humans and preparing to hunt him down. As soon as the warship that Old Zhong sent him took off, it would be destroyed immediately!
Now, Wang Xuan knows who wants to ambush him: Grant of the Agon Zaibatsu has colluded with demons and prepared several small and medium-sized warships in outer space.
"Christine and Hansolo stole my invitation to a gathering at Source Pool Mountain, only to have the place razed to the ground by the Sun family, and all those who attended the gathering perished. Is Grant taking his anger out on me and seeking revenge for his granddaughter Christine?"
Grant hadn't even left Central Continent yet; the few small warships he left in outer space were blasted to smithereens by Zhao Zejun and Wu Chenglin!
He was one of the high-ranking members of the Agon Zaibatsu, and he could not frequently mobilize all the important resources; he needed to negotiate. Moreover, the forces directly under his command had been almost completely eliminated.
"You can go now!" Wang Xuan flicked his finger, and a ball of fire flew out, landing on him and instantly burning him until he screamed in agony and turned to ashes.
"So the Sun family was involved too. They killed Christine, but compensated Grant and encouraged him to seek revenge against me?"
Wang Xuan was surprised, but with his powerful mental domain, he captured the last fragment of Grant's mental thoughts and further clarified the truth.
Chen Yongjie said, "Perfect! We'll settle old scores with the Sun family and vent our anger before leaving New Star!"
The Sun family targeted them a lot in the early days. Even Old Chen was bombarded by warships and rammed by spaceships. He and the Sun family once fought a war Mu City.
As for Wang Xuan, needless to say, he has clashed with the Sun family several times.
"How insidious! This time they didn't make a move, but they hinted and encouraged Grant to get rid of me. They got what they wanted, and now they've got what they asked for!"
Wang Xuan arrived and quietly stormed into the Sun family compound, trespassing into heavily guarded territory. Chen Yongjie followed, carrying a black greatsword.
The Sun family was quite shocked and immediately understood what was going on. They tried to summon Mech Number Five, but they couldn't contact him for a long time.
In the battle at Golden Peak Mountain, the Transcendent Immortals from Huang Kun's faction attempted to cross realms and set up a grand array to guide them, which tricked many people.
Mech Number Five intercepted the fishing line and hook and ran over, but it was also badly tricked. Most of its body melted and was lost, and part of its spiritual fire was extinguished.
He fled back behind the mothership and remained silent for a long time.
The Sun family wanted to activate the mothership directly, but it was too late.
Wang Xuan made his move, wielding the Pre-Qin Jade Dragon Saber, and with continuous swings, he killed Sun Rongsheng, Sun Chengqian, and others, both physically and spiritually!
Old Chen wielded his black greatsword, and his attacks were so direct that heads rolled everywhere.
The remaining high-ranking members of the Sun family were all wiped out. As for the people in other places, Wang Xuan and Old Chen did not insist on searching for them.
Holding the Golden Tree, Wang Xuan violently broke through the seal on the secret vault. He didn't care who had their eyes on this place or whether it had an owner.
He and Old Chen selected divine objects, rare treasures, scriptures, and other items here, taking away the most valuable ones!
Leaving aside rare treasures, their current collection of books far surpasses that of any top ancient religion, and the value of their collection is much higher.
Because this is a compilation of events from all dynasties, with the Immortal Lords' Cave Mansion of different periods falling from the void into this era!
"Let's go!" The two left without a word, leaving Old Chen's organization to start the other two warships and sail into outer space.
Holding the dark golden Flying Boat, Wang Xuan was cautious and on guard. If the remaining members of the Sun family dared to act ruthlessly and fight to the death, he would have no choice but to kill them all.
Everything went smoothly and without any unexpected events.
The three warships activated their Warp Drive, entered the wormhole, and disappeared into the vast sky, embarking on their journey home.
"The Old Earth is causing even more trouble; there is no pure land left in this world," Chen Yongjie said aboard the warship.
"I want to guide the Sword Immortal out of the curtain!" Wang Xuan said.
However, he also frowned. Was the Sword Immortal in the grand scene the same person as the fragmented primordial spirit left in the mortal world?
In that cruel world, she fought for thousands of years as a sword immortal. Even if she was once a very gentle and proud person, her sword strikes would be extremely fierce now.
This worried Wang Xuan, who said, "What we truly need to strengthen is ourselves!"
He needs to find a way to explore the Land of Nothingness again, pass through the deadly "Meteor Crater", find the Real Land, and rise to power. Then who will he be afraid of?
