The two fish-shaped jade pendants were combined into one.
Since everything is with Lu Li, he naturally cannot send messages to the Great Xia.
However, the nine realms are now united.
Within this world, he was already in the same realm as the Great Xia.
This signifies that after eight hundred years of cultivation, Lu Li has finally returned home!
An overwhelming feeling of excitement welled up inside me.
Lu Li looked around to determine the direction.
"I used to be able to manipulate the fish-shaped jade pendant No Distance in the Blue Star universe."
I don't know if it's still okay now.
A thought flickered in my mind.
Lu Li grasped the fish-shaped jade pendant, and his Immortal Power surged into it.
The next second.
"Whoosh!"
His figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
It sped rapidly towards a certain direction deep in the starry sky at a speed that even immortals could hardly comprehend.
Can!
Even now, with the help of the fish-shaped jade pendant, he can still achieve No Distance across the Blue Star universe!
A figure flashed.
The surrounding starry sky receded wildly.
The extreme speed even made the whole world seem to fall into some kind of unreal illusion.
Until the surrounding starry sky gradually became familiar.
Until a huge sun came into view.
Although the Solar System has become larger and more unfamiliar after the unification of the nine realms.
But Lu Li still recognized it at a glance; it was the sun of his world.
Further ahead are the eight planets, the moon, and... Blue Star!
Its true form arrived above Blue Star.
Lu Li's feelings were hard to describe.
The Great Xia's space probes and numerous French warships also captured his face and figure.
Looking at that figure in the green robe, capable of traversing the void.
The French ships were initially taken aback.
After they saw that face that always appeared on various sculptures.
Everyone aboard the French warship was taken aback.
Meanwhile, this face was also being broadcast live globally by the camera equipment on the French warship.
It spread to every corner of the world.
"Is that... is that... is that Senior Lu Li?"
"My God, it's alive... it's alive!"
He's back! It's him!
"The person on TV looks exactly like that statue in the park! Exactly the same!"
On a street in the Saint Region, an elderly woman leans on a cane, looking up at the giant screen.
Tears welled up in his cloudy eyes.
"My grandfather heard his story when he was a child."
Inside Bureau 749, a young researcher stared at the screen and murmured to himself.
"Eight hundred years ago, when he left Blue Star, we were still using fossil fuels. Now, we have a ninth-tier fleet, gene elixirs, and Dao Laws Crystal... but when he returns, he's still wearing that same blue robe."
In twelve regions around the world, on every screen, at the same time, that face was being displayed.
A figure in a blue robe, hands clasped behind his back, suspended beyond the Blue Star.
Eight hundred years.
He's back.
After fully understanding what this means.
Countless people left their homes and flocked to the streets, squares, and rooftops.
The elderly, children, cultivators, and mortals, regardless of their cultivation level.
Everyone is looking up at the same sky, in the same direction.
In the silence, someone spoke softly.
"Welcome home, Senior Lu Li."
The sound was not loud, but it was like a stone falling into the center of a lake, creating ripples.
Immediately afterwards, under the silent sky, echoes rose and fell, uneven yet incredibly sincere.
Welcome home!
Welcome home!
Welcome home!!!
Amidst the roar of mountains and the tsunami.
A dozen or so figures rapidly ascended into the sky from the Great Xia Saint Region.
Even from a great distance, Lu Li recognized the person with his divine sense.
Lu Dahai, Li Qingshan, Zhang Xuanqing, Xu Mu...
Familiar figures came into view one by one.
After hundreds of years of cultivation.
Everyone's cultivation level has changed significantly.
Lu Dahai's leading position is already at the Mahayana Supreme.
Li Qingshan and the others were still at the Dao Integration level.
It flew to Lu Li's side.
The group looked at each other in silence, their eyes all reddening.
Much later.
Li Qingshan then solemnly addressed Lu Li.
"Welcome home, Comrade Lu Li!"
They had waited a full eight hundred years for this reunion.
A surge of intense emotions welled up within everyone.
Excitement, shouts, laughter.
Lu Dahai rushed forward and hugged Lu Li tightly.
My fingers are trembling.
This supreme Supreme of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had long since ascended to Mahayana level and was in charge of the Divine Revival Bureau, was now acting like an ordinary father.
He hugged Lu Li tightly, his palms trembling, unable to speak for a long time.
He didn't say anything, he just patted Lu Li's back again and again.
It was as if he wanted to confirm that the person in front of him was real.
Lu Li did not move.
He stood there, letting his father hold him.
For eight hundred years, he has traversed the starry sky and crossed the nine realms, slaying Supreme with his sword and receiving the imperial decree.
But at this moment, he was just a son who had returned home.
"It's good that you're back."
Lu Dahai finally let go, took a half step back, and looked him up and down with red eyes. His voice was hoarse, "You've lost weight."
Lu Li smiled.
"Dad, I won't gain weight if I don't eat."
In a light touch, so many bitter memories, dangers and hardships drift away with the wind.
A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the ground below, the sound waves so powerful they shook the heavens.
Lu Li back.
Facing Lu Li's return.
The Great Xia side was well-prepared.
They have been waiting for this moment every single day for the past eight hundred years.
Now, the Great Xia has its own immortal.
A true immortal!
At the same time, both Great Xia and Lu Li understood that with the departure of the Great Desolation Immortals and Gods, the Nine Realms had been unified, and the world had undergone tremendous changes.
There was no time to waste for Great Xia and Lu Li.
What follows will be the most challenging period of development for the Great Xia.
This is also the most serious moment of development for the entire Great Desolation.
How can a world with a broken civilization survive among several powerful nations?
This question must be answered.
And, will the Silent Ruins truly never return?
Faced with numerous problems, the Great Xia convened its first important meeting with Lu Li's participation.
Jing City, in Mount Baiwang.
The highest-level conference room within the Bureau 749 base.
All the current core figures of the Great Xia Dynasty are present.
Lu Li entered last, accompanied by Li Qingshan and Lu Dahai.
"Gentlemen, Comrade Lu Li's return does not mean we can rest easy now."
Li Qingshan stood on the left and placed Lu Li in the main seat of the conference room.
He looked around at everyone in the room and took a deep breath.
Finally, the voice resonated deeply.
"Now, I declare the first Great Xia Milky Way Federation's Inquiry into the Dao - All Heavens United, Immortal and Mortal Joint Strategic Conference officially open!"
"Now, the world has changed and the pattern has been divided."
"Our Great Xia possesses a True Immortal, and several ancient wills throughout the Nine Realms are also eyeing us covetously."
"This gathering is called the 'Quest for the Way,' and it seeks to determine how the Great Xia can establish itself among the heavens."
"It is called 'Fundamental Compassion,' meaning to help all living beings survive in the new world."
"To fight, to make peace, to advance, to defend... all must be decided after this meeting."
His gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Lu Li.
"Comrade Lu Li, please."
As the most important presence at the meeting.
Lu Li slowly rose to his feet, his celestial aura subsiding slightly.
He nodded slightly, and his voice reached everyone's ears.
"Gentlemen, I have returned, but the journey of Great Xia has only just begun."
"This gathering marks the beginning of our Great Xia's rise to prominence among the heavens!"
