Chapter 170: Meteorite Falls

School.

Outside was a green lawn, and the petite pebble path revealed a mottled shadow under the dense tree shade.

The light bell hanging on the wall startled the sparrows perched on the roof, causing them to swiftly fly into the sky.

"Bye-bye, Shuhua, see you tomorrow."

"Bye-bye," Tian Dao Shu Hua said in a sweet voice, waving goodbye to her classmates.

Just now was the end-of-class bell; all today's lessons had finished, and soon it would be dinner time, allowing her to eat her brother's cooking again.

Just thinking about her brother's cooking made Shuhua feel much better.

Shuhua turned and went to her personal locker, opened it, took her belongings, slung on her small bag, and walked out of the school gate.

She hopped and skipped toward her home.

The Tiandao family's residence wasn't far from school—just a ten-odd minute walk.

"What wonderful weather today!" Shuhua exclaimed, looking at the blazing red sun.

"But what is that, a shooting star? Shooting stars aren't visible only at night, are they?" Shuhua tilted her head, puzzled.

As she spoke, a fiery streak tore across the sky, passing right before her eyes and shooting straight toward a spot not far from here.

"Want to go take a look?" Shuhua tightened the white little pack on her back, gazing at the lingering fiery trace in the sky; her curiosity already controlled her actions,

It made Shuhua involuntarily run toward the direction where the meteorite fell.

"Has it already safely landed on Earth? This kind of cosmic travel really isn't something humans can endure."

Jiang Xia suddenly opened his eyes, as beautiful as rubies.

After a long slumber, Jiang Xia's consciousness gradually cleared; he lightly blinked his eyes, confirming he had truly arrived on Earth,

and after confirming no threatening lifeforms surrounded him, he stretched his body, wanting to emerge from the meteorite.

Jiang Xia gathered his spirit, and with a slight exertion of his body, the meteorite, which was only about a person tall, suddenly burst open with a crack.

Meanwhile, the surrounding temperature began to slowly rise, and the meteorite's surface started to flicker with red light.

Tian Dao Shu Hua stood beside the meteorite crater, feeling her body a bit warm; she felt a pleasant sensation that made her want to draw nearer,

but recalling her brother's warnings about danger, she obediently stayed at a distance, watching the meteorite tremble slightly and emit light.

As the temperature rose, the surrounding trees suddenly burst into flames with a crackle, scorching Tian Dao Shu Hua's little face red.

Just then, the meteorite cracked with a sound, its surface fissures spreading as the stones collapsed.

With a splash, the ugly outer stones completely shattered into fragments, revealing a bright red rhomboid crystal,

Its surface was sharply faceted, as if a layer of flame burned within, weaving scarlet patterns like the most beautiful gem in the world.

Tian Dao Shu Hua widened her eyes; she saw clearly that the gem contained a human silhouette—though not very clear, she knew it was a male like her brother.

"How beautiful!" Shuhua exclaimed involuntarily.

By then she had completely forgotten about needing to rush home to eat her brother's meal.

Delicious meals can be eaten anytime, but such a beautiful meteorite isn't something you can see whenever.

She gazed at the crystal, slowly moving her little feet with a standard crab walk, inching from the crater toward the crystal.

Her pristine white uniform and the short socks on her fair legs also turned dusky from the dust.

"It moved!" Shuhua cried out.

At that moment, the human figure emitting a faint red light within the crystal slowly rose from it,

The scarlet crystal was drawn back into Jiang Xia's hand like flowing water.

The essence of this scarlet crystal is the same as that of the Alien Insect Queen's crystal.

If we don't want a swarm of Alien Insects to appear here in a few days, it's better to reclaim them.

The trees that had ignited around the meteorite quickly extinguished, and as Jiang Xia stepped forward, the surrounding trees began to rapidly return to their original state.

Jiang Xia lightly waved his arm, and Shuhua's body instantly levitated, landing safely on the meteorite crater.

The surrounding meteorite crater was filled in by an invisible force.

Although Jiang Xia's power is now severely damaged, he can still manage to conceal traces.

After all, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse; moreover, he isn't dead—it's just like regrowing from childhood, but only in terms of power, not his body.

However, there is still another problem to resolve right now.

Jiang Xia looked at a cute middle-schooler with baby fat, gazing at him adoringly; those bright, sparkling eyes openly displayed her curiosity.

"Are you the Divine Lord? A god from the universe."

Shuhua looked excitedly at the person who had emerged from the meteorite before her,

"What was that just now? A superpower?"

"Oh, I get it—you're an alien."

"Which planet are you an alien from?"

"Do all aliens look this handsome?"

This heavenly deity who descended looks as handsome as her brother.

But her brother seems merely an ordinary person, whereas this one before her appears to be a bona fide Divine Lord.

A bright, oriole-like voice continually rang in Jiang Xia's ears.

Although the girl's voice is very pleasant and he doesn't dislike it, her questions are obviously a bit too many.

"I can only try to erase this girl's memory." Jiang Xia said to the noticeably unusually lively girl.

He could tell that the girl was merely purely curious,

and what's more surprising is that, from her, Jiang Xia felt no negative emotion at all—only sunshine, vitality, and upward‑striving energy.

But before that, Jiang Xia still wanted to know one thing.

He spoke: "What is your name?"

"Hehe."

She laughed, raised a finger, and proudly said to the crimson sunset:

"My grandmother once said, I am the one who walks the Way of Heaven, the sister who oversees all people, Tian Dao Shu Hua is that."

"My grandmother said that? And this girl's surname is Tiandao, no way!"

Jiang Xia's body suddenly stiffened a bit.

He kept recalling in his mind the one who pointed a finger at heaven, and then his mouth kept uttering his grandmother's sayings,

Then, in an almost instant-kill posture, the man who struck the Alien Insect to the ground—Heavenly Dao Chief.

"No way it's that coincidental, right?"

Jiang Xia also noticed the abnormality; all he saw was him closing his eyes.

His consciousness instantly entered a blank world, where here almost floated almost infinite bookshelves.

"As long as I'm on Earth, I can enter the current world's Earth Library, right?"

Jiang Xia looked at the floating bookshelf before him and said.

When he had just landed on Earth, the previously sealed permission for the Earth Library had already been lifted.

On the asteroid, he couldn't even enter the library, and he thought it could only be used on Earth in the Fengdu world.

But unexpectedly, it could only be used on Earth, not limited by time and space, but limited by planet.

However, this also saved him a lot of trouble; being able to query the omniscient, omnipotent library of all records on Earth brought an advantage that was truly immense.

"Let's give it a try."

Jiang Xia looked at the bookshelf before him, combined with the girl's familiar tone before him, he already knew what to search for.

"The keywords are, Heavenly Dao Chief, Tian Dao Shu Hua, grandmother's sayings."

Jiang Xia slowly spoke.

The bookshelf before him moved swiftly, finally leaving only a red book on the shelf before him.

At the moment Jiang Xia took it, several gilded characters appeared on it, namely, the Tiandao Sayings.
