Chapter 136 Home

Li Cheng Yi sometimes wondered why he had to return to the highly dangerous Earth and Moon. He wasn't the real Li Cheng Yi anyway. Wouldn't it be better to abandon everything on Earth and Moon and find a safe place to start a new life?

But... he just couldn't get over that hurdle.

Even if he didn't return to Earth and Moon, the hidden dangers and enemies of the Evil Flower might come knocking sooner or later. So, staying put and standing still wasn't the path he should choose.

While pondering in his heart, he flapped his wings and flew forward at high speed with Shadow Blink.

In mid-air, only a silver-white trajectory could be seen, like a meteor, shooting through one dead angle after another of varying sizes.

Time continued to flow.

Not knowing how long had passed, a faint trace of traction suddenly appeared in Li Cheng Yi's Huayu Pearl summoning induction field.

The positioning teleportation of the Huayu Pearl was a special ability similar to an consciousness field. It could greatly amplify Li Cheng Yi's consciousness power range, allowing him to accurately locate the specific location of each host.

But it could only sense the location of the Huayu Pearl, and the rest was blurry.

Sensing the new summoning connection, Li Cheng Yi was overjoyed and quickly corrected his positioning according to its direction.

He then realized that his general direction was correct, but it was too far off. The real direction of the connection was further down on his left hand side.

After confirming the direction and correcting it, Li Cheng Yi accelerated at full speed and flew towards it.

As the direction became correct, the induction of the Huayu Pearl became clearer and clearer. New connection lines continued to appear, which were the induction connections of other Huayu Pearl holders.

There was also a direction at a slightly skewed angle, which was obviously Midraan's location.

Chen Jia Han was left there by him, and he didn't know what the situation was now.

In the black sea, Li Cheng Yi accelerated, pulling out a long silver tail behind him, and quickly approached the Earth-Moon Dead Angle.

As the distance got closer and closer.

The sense of connection became stronger and stronger, and the expectation in Li Cheng Yi's heart became more and more sufficient. He hadn't returned to Earth and Moon for a long time. He wondered if everyone was doing well after so long.

Soon, a dark blue dead angle with countless tentacles, like a huge potato, with grayish-black spots on the surface.

That was Earth-Moon!

'Wait, I remember it didn't look like this before...' Li Cheng Yi suddenly hesitated, although the Huayu Pearl's connection clearly indicated that this was the place.

But... how long had he been away? Had this place changed so much?

After a slight pause, he slowed down in the Black Sea, floated motionless, and quietly looked at the much-changed Earth-Moon Dead Angle at this time.

Turning his head, he looked at the other side, which was Midraan.

The two were very close.

At least much, much closer than Pan Guang.

He could actually still sense the connection of Pan Guang's Eldest Senior Brother's Huayu Pearl here.

'It seems that the connection range of the Huayu Pearl mainly depends on the strength of the holder.'

Li Cheng Yi understood in his heart. He suddenly thought of a question.

'I remember that Pan Guang's time flow seems to be the same as the Black Sea, and the time flow of the Black Sea and Earth-Moon doesn't seem to be much different.'

Li Cheng Yi's expression changed slightly.

'If you calculate it this way, haven't I... been missing on Earth and Moon for many years!??'

He stayed in Pan Guang for five or six years, and now he's back...

Thinking of this, a trace of panic and unease rose in his heart.

'With Rainbow Candy and the others there, it shouldn't be a big problem... right.'

Immediately, Li Cheng Yi no longer hesitated, a Shadow Blink, and rushed towards Earth-Moon at full speed.

More than ten minutes later, he slammed into the outer layer of the Earth-Moon Dead Angle, submerged among a large number of tiny tentacles, and disappeared.

September 3231.

Earth-Moon, Suiyang City.

The original site of the Eternal Botanical Garden.

On the barren suburban black soil, pieces of broken walls were scattered in all directions.

On the arched gate, half of the words "Eternal Botanical Garden" were gone, leaving only the word "Eternal."

On the stone brick square outside the gate, there were potholes of various sizes everywhere. The rusty bullet casings and broken metal fragments on the ground showed that there had been a considerable conflict here.

But at this time, the traces of the past had been covered by weeds and dust, leaving only a small part remaining on the surface.

Crack.

In the subtle sound of footsteps.

A strong man in a black-purple windbreaker, with long silver hair draped over his shoulders, slowly walked to the broken gate and looked up at the damaged sign.

The man was slender, and his well-proportioned and powerful muscle lines could be seen at a glance to have strong explosive power and responsiveness.

His face was calm and handsome, and there was a faint black beard on his lips, which added a bit of mature temperament.

This person was Li Cheng Yi, who had just returned from the Black Sea.

Looking at the desolate and completely destroyed botanical garden, his original joy of returning home fell to the bottom.

Seven years...

The first thing he did upon arriving at Earth-Moon was to check his departure time. There would inevitably be a slight difference in the flow of time, but he never expected that after seven years, Earth-Moon would become what it is now.

Yes.

The former Suiyang City had shrunk by more than ten times in area, and the entire urban area was shrouded in a huge black shield.

In addition, everything outside had become a barren wilderness.

The advertising billboards erected by Ming Yuan Group had also disappeared. And the group's most important Eternal Botanical Garden, the source of Huayu Qi replenishment for all Huayu Pearl holders, had also fallen into such disrepair...

"Seven years... what happened!? Where's Rainbow Candy? Where are the others?"

Li Cheng Yi had no idea.

The Yong'an Courtyard opposite the botanical garden was also gone, and only a huge pit was left at the original site. It was unknown what weapon had directly bombed it, and the entire manor was destroyed.

Walking into the botanical garden, Li Cheng Yi slowly strolled, observing the surrounding changes.

The scallion flower garden that Little Brown had carefully managed before was now a withered and scorched black.

The greenhouses where Rainbow Candy and Big Bear absorbed Huayu Qi had also collapsed, leaving only a few ruins remaining in place.

Li Cheng Yi couldn't bear to look any longer and went directly to the special plant cultivation area.

That was a special flower garden for cultivating various mutated flowers.

But there, too, was only scorched earth and weeds.

'What exactly is going on!?'

His heart sank even more, he turned around and walked towards the city, Shadow Blink activated.

In an instant, ten kilometers away, Li Cheng Yi's tall figure appeared outside the huge black shield of Suiyang.

He looked up at the tall black wall that could not be seen at a glance, reached out his hand, and gently touched its surface.

Cold and smooth, this shield was not only a metal material! It seemed to also be mixed with biological materials! And it was a biological material with some kind of activity!

After thinking for a while, Li Cheng Yi looked along both sides of the shield, and his huge consciousness rapidly extended.

This trip to Pan Guang, his biggest gain was that his consciousness had been greatly strengthened.

Compared to when he left Earth-Moon, his current consciousness had reached the level of a pure eight-seal expert.

This was the pure power of consciousness, without calculating all other powers and amplifications.

Such a terrifying consciousness power, in Earth-Moon where the strongest was only the five-seal Far Shadow leader Xu Meng, was undoubtedly a crushing level.

Not to mention his other amplified physical bodies and special powers, combined, he had reached a level where he could crush even those above True Fire.

Soon, consciousness turned into the form of a thin sword, condensing invisible tiny Wisdom Swords, passing through thousands of meters, and discovering an entrance.

Below the huge black shield, there was a black entrance similar to an ancient city gate.

The square city gate was more than ten meters wide and was built with the same shield material.

The wall was rough and full of various shallow and deep scars, many of which seemed to have been scratched by some kind of sharp claw.

At this time, many ragged people were lining up to enter and exit the city.

Li Cheng Yi appeared in an unnoticed corner at the edge of the city gate with a Shadow Blink, then walked out and followed behind two thin men, walking towards the city gate together.

At the entrance, there was an abandoned inspection scanning door, which seemed to have been out of power for a long time.

No one was guarding the door, only two silver-white robot dogs, dragging long black wires, squatted beside the door, and their light blue electronic eyes simply scanned the people entering the door, which was considered an inspection.

In a crowd of decadent and depressed people, Li Cheng Yi appeared full of energy, with a strong and tall figure, which was actually a bit eye-catching.

But the robot dogs didn't care about these, and just perfunctorily scanned him and let him in.

Following the crowd into the city, Li Cheng Yi glanced at it.

The once bright and clean Suiyang City was now full of building ruins.

The silver-white buildings in the distance were also like patched-up rags, with several black repair marks on their waists.

In the more distant sky, under the illumination of the huge lights at the top of the shield, black unmanned fighter jets were patrolling the entire city in an orderly manner.

Lowering his head, the bad premonition in Li Cheng Yi's heart became stronger and stronger. He urgently needed to find someone to ask what had happened in these years.

Immediately, he quickened his pace and strode forward on the somewhat dim streets.

The direction he was going was not his home, but the Ming Yuan Group headquarters building.

As long as he could find Rainbow Candy, he could get the most and most accurate information as quickly as possible. Even if she wasn't there, the AI Yue Ji should still be there, and now the location of Rainbow Candy's Huayu Pearl was right there.

Before figuring out the specific situation, he didn't plan to directly Reverse Trace teleport there.

The Huayu Pearl's induction was one-way, and Rainbow Candy could not sense his arrival.

If Rainbow Candy failed to survive the two-year time limit, then who would be holding the Huayu Pearl now?

What would the situation be like at the headquarters?

From the gate to the Ming Yuan Building, it was about five kilometers away. It needed to pass through many streets, shopping malls, and residential areas in the middle.

As Li Cheng Yi walked along the way, the more he looked, the more his heart sank.

There were not many people active in the streets, the shopping malls had long been closed, and many garbage bags were piled up at the door.

The residential areas were even more like ghost realms, with only a few figures occasionally seen.

Not long after, the Ming Yuan Building arrived.

This time it was okay, the group headquarters was still there.

It was just much more dilapidated than when he left, but as long as it was there, there would definitely be someone in charge...

Li Cheng Yi quickly came to the entrance gate.

"Excuse me..."

His inquiry stopped abruptly.

The security room at the door was empty, and the table at the window was covered with a thick layer of black ash.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he walked into the iron gate and saw in the parking shed on the side that the surfaces of the flying cars were covered with thick white ash, almost covering the original color of the cars.

The original automatic glass door at the entrance of the building was gone, and the slag was all over the ground.

The lobby was empty and lifeless.
