Earth.
A month had passed since Li Wei left the villa district, and many things had happened during this time.
The old men and women in the villa district, who usually wore pajamas, were currently searching everywhere.
"Where is Young Master Li?"
"Find him quickly. He carries the purest bloodline of the Li Clan."
"Fuck, search the whole world, search beyond the star sector!"
Amidst the panic, cultivators could be seen flying through the cloudy sky, looking fierce and aggressive, heading off to kill some unknown target.
Suddenly, a loud 'boom' resounded, causing the entire villa district to shake.
Standing outside Cave Dwelling No. 1, Granny Ling wore a suit of armor. Her aged face beneath the helmet looked ferocious as she gazed beyond Earth.
"Damn Salvation Army! Tens of millions of years have passed, yet heaven knows where they found a Body Integration zombie and dug up a bunch of ancient monsters.
Although Earth's karmic luck and durability are akin to the Ancient Age, such Spiritual power that can casually destroy a planet in the star sector... it seems even Earth won't be able to withstand a great war like this."
Leaning against the wall, Boss Qi was covered in cold sweat.
"This is a civil war, not against those Mystic Civilizations or the sentient machine races outside. Who is our villa district going to help?"
Boss Qi's heart pounded wildly.
Too many things had happened on Earth in such a short time.
Xiao Qingluo of the Salvation Army was put on the wanted list, and a zombie executed a prison break.
Originally, people thought these were just insignificant trifles; after all, once cultivators obtained Spiritual power, there were far too many instances of them wanting to run amok.
But who could have known that the Salvation Army had been hiding in every corner of Earth?
Many ancient powerhouses emerged, spouting incredibly childish slogans.
Rebellion was one thing, but rumor had it that immortals had appeared in the star sector...
These immortals were their targets. At the same time, the Salvation Army was also eradicating the immortals on Earth.
Back when Earth's spiritual energy recovered, besides the ancient inheritances, it was also largely thanks to the help of these immortals.
"You are a newcomer, and your ranking is too low."
Granny Ling glanced at the panicked Boss Qi. "Perhaps you don't know, but the villa district is the final pure land for us inheritors of the Ancient Age."
"What the hell?" On Boss Qi's balding head, his last few strands of hair danced messily in the wind.
"The moment Young Master Li grows up is also the moment we need to make a choice."
Granny Ling took out a quaint, ancient scroll and handed it to Boss Qi.
Written on it was: 'Protect Number One, to battle the immortals.'
"Ever since the recovery of spiritual energy, every master of our numbered cave dwellings received the guidance of their inheritance to come to the villa district.
We exchanged techniques and cultivation methods, advancing and retreating together."
Granny Ling smiled bitterly. "Only we ourselves knew that we had to protect Number One."
"But you..." Boss Qi's expression turned odd. Granny Ling had previously wanted to kill Young Master Li.
"To battle the immortals... there are many immortals in the world, and Young Master Li's family also has immortals.
Void Refinement are Immortals, Body Integration are Heavenly Immortals, and Mahayana are Golden Immortals.
They dominate the world. Young Master Li's Li Clan is also not the legendary Li Clan.
The immortals followed an ancient contract, never feeding on our Human Race, and went into deep slumber."
Granny Ling's face looked terrible.
"According to the contract, the moment Young Master Li grows up is the moment the contract is torn.
For many years in the villa district, there have been two factions: one wanted to kill Young Master Li to maintain the status quo, and the other wanted to follow the guidance.
This was inevitable."
"But we knew that if we wanted to kill Young Master Li, there were two hurdles we could never cross."
Hearing this.
Boss Qi glanced at Old Man Chen, dozing off in the security booth at the gate. "Who is the other one?"
As his voice fell, the gate of Number One opened, and a face as beautiful as a heavenly immortal appeared, beaming with a warm smile.
Yue Xian said with a faint smile, "My young master is not here. You all don't need to go looking. The young master will return on his own when he gets hungry."
"..."
Boss Qi was speechless.
He glanced at the spatial ring in his hand, wondering if he should say something.
Just a few days ago, Young Master Li had actually returned for a quick visit.
Young Master Li had forbidden him from telling anyone, and furthermore, this spatial ring was filled with treasures... For the sake of money, Boss Qi decided to suffer from amnesia.
"Yue Xian, we have protected the villa district for hundreds of years."
Granny Ling's expression was grave. "Now, when will the ancient existences awaken?"
"Soon. Perhaps our young master already knows everything."
Yue Xian remained gentle as ever.
She slightly raised her head, gazing past the war zones across Earth, penetrating the clouds, all the way to the vast starry sky.
Deep in the starry sky, within a nebula, floated a massive, glowing red heart.
A heartbeat from the Ancient Age echoed across the universe.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Starships parked outside the nebula. Even across several star sectors, the powerful beating sound could be heard. Even the vacuum of space could not stop it.
The crew members on the spaceship looked at the holographic projection and sent a message back.
"The Heavenly Dao Divine Heart is about to awaken. Please respond if you copy. Please..."
However, his transmission wasn't finished, and he hadn't even spoken the coordinates yet.
"Pfft!"
A tear opened on the beating heart, and a figure riding a donkey and holding a spear emerged from it. When it reappeared, it was already behind the spaceship.
The captain, clad in a stellar nanosuit, stared stiffly at the holographic projection before his eyes.
Everything about the figure that emerged from the heart was captured in the projection.
[Ancient Age Li Clan]
[Patriarch — Li Kuangtu]
[Fell during the Ancient Age in the war between Humanity and the Wu Tribe in Azure Cloud Region...]
[Resurrected from the Ancient Age...]
[Realm — Body Integration, Great Dao of Green Mountain]
Boom!
The spaceship exploded in the starry sky.
The handsome young man riding the donkey in the void of space possessed a resolute gaze as he looked toward Earth from afar.
He comforted the donkey that had turned its head back. "Soon. We are about to return to our homeland. We won't need to hide anymore, and we won't need to run anymore."
He rode the donkey back to the heart.
A calm voice echoed from within. "Right now, the Old Ancestor should have just led our clansmen into battle against the immortals."
"Yes. In the world where we once existed."
