Chapter 306: One Thousand Years Later, the Three Major Pantheons
The floating island was indeed uninteresting apart from the super Arcana trees’ presence. That was the only thing that stood out!
Then, there was Sapling Ling and the over 300 Kryptonians.
So, Ling Jiu wondered about adding a little liveliness to the floating island by introducing some animals.
Ling Jiu was not afraid of the animals absorbing and reducing the Dark Bio-energy.
Even if the animals could attain some level of cultivation, he could crush them with just a thought and retake the Dark Bio-energy.
“I will get some animals in from now on.”
Three days had passed since then, and the Leoux finally arrived at Whitehole 2.
It felt like a lifetime ago when he last returned to this planet. He could not help but feel that way even though he had just been there a month ago.
“Have you found them, Leoux?”
“I have. They are all here on this planet, and the many stellar beings are with them too.”
Ling Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. All he needed to know was that his family was safe.
“Let’s go down there.”
Ling Jiu teleported to the surface of the planet silently. Nothing had changed on Whitehole 2; the forest was thriving, and the Direbeasts were roaring.
It was wild and primitive.
Ling Jiu used Dimensional Peering and quickly discovered his family’s situation. It startled him when he found that they all had become galactic beings.
Bai Ya was a Level 6 galactic.
Ling’er was a Level 4 galactic.
Meanwhile, his parents were a Level 2 galactics.
Even Xiaotong, who had awakened her ability last, was now a Level 1 galactic.
The most stunning of all was Wukong. He was a Level 3 super-cluster being.
Ling Jiu was as guilty as he was shocked because they did not become powerful for no reason—it only showed that they had been practicing self-cultivation for a long time.
“This is...” Bai Ya, who was practicing self-cultivation inside a maglev airship, opened her eyes and looked up at the sky all of a sudden.
She was so powerful now that she could have been a True God on Auguland.
Coupled with her Mimeograph Arcana, the accumulation of Dark Bio-energy, and the comprehension of the Law of Destruction, she had extremely keen senses.
She had sensed it the moment Ling Jiu appeared. Ling Jiu’s smell was all too familiar to her.
She could definitely smell that it was him.
She was slightly trembling, her eyes welling up at once, and tears started to slip out of her eyes.
It was tears of emotion and happiness.
She missed Ling Jiu so much.
,000 years. It had been 1,000 years.
God knows how she came through all these years. Worries and the missing of him had been tormenting her. She had forced herself to practice self-cultivation so that she could stop missing him. And it took her only 1,000 years to become a Level-6 galactic being.
The God of Light, the God of magic, and others in Auguland would have been embarrassed of themselves had they seen such an amazingly quick self-cultivation.
Bai Ya lunged out and came in front of Ling Jiu. At this moment, her longing for him building up inside her all these years burst through her emotional dam in an instant.
She wept bitterly as she threw herself into Ling Jiu’s arms.
“Where have you been? Why did you only come back now? Why did you only come back now?”
Bai Ya cried and punched Ling Jiu’s chest. As much as she was a powerful galactic being, her punches felt like tickles to him.
She was angry, emotional. But she could not bring herself to hit him hard.
He hugged her tightly in his arms, sniffing the fragrance of her hair, feeling an unprecedented peace of mind. He had a thousand words to tell her but all that were condensed into just, “I am sorry.”
After crying her heart out, she finally calmed down. She got out of Ling Jiu’s arms, looked at him, and then planted her lips onto his.
“I want it.”
...
Eight hours later, they both collapsed.
Bai Ya leaned on Ling Jiu and gently stroked his chest. “Where have you been in the past one thousand years, Honey?”
“One thousand years?” Ling Jiu was stunned. He then remembered that the six minutes he spent on the planet on the edge of the black hole was equivalent to 891 years in the outside world. He had also spent some time in Auguland and then gone back to Earth before coming to Whitehole-2.
That added up to 1,000 years on Whitehole-2.
“I went to a place called Auguland,” Ling Jiu said. “Speaking of which, it was funny. At first, I went to Europa. When I was there, the elders of Merpeople tricked me, exiling me to Auguland. And in Auguland, I accidentally traveled to a planet on the edge of a black hole.”
Bai Ya’s heart skipped a beat when she heard what he said. “Nine days per second. Nine years have since passed on Earth in just six seconds. The universe is truly amazing.”
“It sure is.” Ling Jiu sighed. “Now I have finally experienced what it is like when people wake up from a nap in heaven and find that a thousand years have passed on Earth. When I hurried back, Earth was no longer the Earth I knew.”
“How is Earth now?”
Bai Ya asked. It had been 500 years since she left Earth. She had not heard news about Earth since then, and so she was concerned.
“Things are terrible.” Ling Jiu shook his head. “The major pantheons are born. Except for Huaxia and America, which remain independent, other countries have fallen into the hands of the gods.”
“I knew it,” Bai Ya said quietly. “Back then, the gods were menacing, especially the Norse, Greek, and Egyptian gods. They were extremely powerful, and the world needed to gather all their strengths to fight back. We are no match for them when they all come at once.”
“Not forgetting the minor gods, too. They are having a field day on Earth. We simply can’t fight them.”
“The most disappointing thing is that people are not united.” Bai Ya sounded angry. “When the gods first appeared, everyone—be it the stellar beings or the governments—were still united. But as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, and other European countries fell into the hands of the Greek and Norse gods, many stellar beings and corporations turned their backs against humanity. That was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, causing us to fall into the defensive.”
“We will only know who our genuine friends are in a time of adversity. There is no shortage of weathercocks, nothing to be surprised about.” Ling Jiu shook his head.
“Later, the government developed a super weapon that could threaten the gods. They finally retreated, albeit reluctantly. But that also angered them more. So they hunted down the stellar beings on Earth. Some escaped, some killed. We have nowhere to go but to flee to this place.”
Ling Jiu’s eyes looked icy. He could completely feel from her words the despair that Bai Ya and others were experiencing back then. They were helpless and pursued by a group of galactic and super-clustered beings.
All they could do was live like a coward, leave their homes, no matter how reluctant they were.
“Now I’m back. I don’t care if they are gods or weathercocks, trash like them should return to where they come from.” Ling Jiu’s voice was bitter.
“I don’t mean to pour cold water on your fervent spirit, but those gods are really powerful, especially the Greek, Norse, and Egyptian gods. They are incredibly nasty,” Bai Ya said. “You have got to think twice before you take on them. I don’t want you to put yourself in danger for the sake of revenge.”
