Chapter 2344: with translation of chapter title

Cough—

On the square, there was still one tester who hadn't left.

This was Shen Chuo, who had once been beaten into the hospital by the Lord of Time.

"That..."

"That..."

He looked at the black-clad girl before him, his feelings extremely complicated.

After the gaming era ended, Shen Chuo also had briefly come into contact with the high-level officials of Blue Star No. 1, knowing that his home planet was far stronger than imagined, with Controllers numbering in the hundreds or thousands, Transcendents too many to count, completely different from what he previously knew.

But he couldn't find the whereabouts of the "Companion for 400 million years", wanting to regain face and strike back, but had no opportunity.

He had asked the Archery Champion, who should know the "Companion for 400 million years", but the champion refused to tell him, merely telling him not to provoke this grandma.

Now Shen Chuo realized that this was not just a grandma; she was practically greater than a great-grandmother, one of the most powerful beings in the entire clan, even the whole universe.

She is a Dao Ancestor!

Shen Chuo still harbored resentment, feeling that being hospitalized for over a month by a girl was disgraceful.

Now that he knew her identity, he felt extremely fortunate, actually being personally struck by a Dao Ancestor—a blessing others could not cultivate in a lifetime.

The Lord of Time looked at Shen Chuo, the corners of his mouth slightly curving: "Do you still want to be beaten?"

Shen Chuo gave a bitter smile: "If the Primordial Ancestor wishes to strike, this junior is willing to accept such fortune."

The Lord of Time shook his head slightly: "Forget it; opportunities and fortune aren't simply handed out. Your fortune is limited—hitting you once is already plenty."

Shen Chuo gave another bitter smile.

It seems even getting beaten depends on one's aptitude; without enough fortune, you can't even withstand her blows.

"Primordial Ancestor, your power is unmatched, you control the universe's great Dao—can you tell me what Xiao Feng has recently encountered? Why"

"That he hasn't appeared for so long?" Shen Chuo couldn't help but ask.

He now could be considered someone without attachments, and he was very concerned about the situation of his good friend Xiao Feng.

The Lord of Time said: "You don't need to ask; when it's time to know, you will know."

"Well... then, this junior will take his leave. Thank you, Primordial Ancestor, for the grace you once bestowed. Back then, this junior was immature and once held resentment in his heart; Primordial Ancestor, please don't hold it against me." Shen Chuo clasped his hands in salute, recalling past events, feeling both helpless and fortunate.

Upon reflection, if it weren't for that earlier beating by the Lord of Time, which prematurely opened his meridians and apertures, he estimated he wouldn't have reached the peak of the Transcendent so quickly.

The Lord of Time shook his head slightly, said no more, and with a wave of his hand sent him away, not asking where he wanted to go, forcibly sending him back to his hometown.

All the young people had left, leaving only the Extermination Venerable and the Lord of Time.

The Extermination Venerable asked: "Lord of Time, what about the Lord of All Heavens, Xiao Feng... how is he exactly? Do you know?"

The Lord of Time replied: "I've visited him; his condition is fine. The problems of the Infinite Continent may be completely resolved soon, so you don't need to continue guarding here."

Her attitude toward young people and toward the old soldiers who had guarded the frontier for millions of years was different; she didn't conceal it, but spoke of what she knew.

The Extermination Venerable, seeming lost in thought, a smile appeared on his aged face: "That's best, that's best."

The Lord of Time said no more, took a step forward, and vanished in the City of Hundred Battles.

When he reappeared, he was already on Blue Star.

It was not her homeland's Blue Star, but Xiao Feng's Blue Star.

Being in the heavens, her gaze pierced spatial barriers and fell upon Wind Spirit Island.

Looking at the newly arrived Han Zichen trio and Jiang Ning and others, they told

They said the news Xiao Feng gave, seeing some of them crying loudly and others with worried faces.

Looking again at Xiao Feng's parents, who were gradually growing old, and his two daughters who had already entered the Controller realm.

"This guy, just like Chen Li, keeps disappearing at will, failing to meet his family's longing."

"They are the same kind of people, with no difference at all..."

"Why should I look at him differently..."

The Lord of Time muttered softly.

"Poor Xun Shuang, waiting year after year—when will it finally end?"

"Forget it, what's the point of me worrying so much about his affairs?"

"Go comprehend my Dao."

She took a step forward and vanished.

No one knew she had come; even an Eternal-level Black Butterfly could not sense the trace of the Dao Ancestor.

On Wind Spirit Island, the family's spirits were low.

Although they knew Xiao Feng was still alive and had a great opportunity,

but a thousand years is too long.

From meeting Xiao Feng to losing contact with him, it had only been a hundred years.

Xiao Feng's time of disappearance was far longer than the time he had spent accompanying them.

If it weren't for their growing strength making their concept of time fainter than ordinary people's, they might even have forgotten that man entirely.

Today's Blue Star is completely different from the past Blue Star.

The planet's records retain Xiao Feng's name, and everyone remembers his achievements.

But... everyone has also forgotten him.

The mistresses of Wind Spirit Island did not deliberately shape an image for their men, nor compile independent stories about them.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people on Blue Star, Xiao Feng merely existed for a few decades.

People only know that the planet's new era has arrived, and it is related to the initial

generation of controllers.

As for where this first-generation Controller went, and whether he is alive or dead, no one cares.

As for where this first‑generation controller went, and whether he is dead or alive, nobody cares anymore.

The game world is also about to forget him.

The game 'All Heavens' is still fine; although he's been missing for years, his name is still on the All Heavens Tower, and not many people rank above him on the Level Ranking.

But in the new game 'Eternal Life', star players rise one after another, the story of a new generation is being written, and the era of Xiao Feng has long passed.

Occasionally someone mentions Xiao Feng, the invincible among all races from the All Heavens era.

But in the end it's just laughed off.

They even declare: 'Xiao Feng is just that; in this era he might not be all that strong. Compared to the top three gods on Eternal Life's power ranking, he isn't even worthy to carry their shoes.'

Some object, some agree.

Those who agree make up the majority.

A thousand years—too long.

So long that the vast majority of players from back then have died.

So long that only a handful of beings still remember Xiao Feng's invincible presence as he once dominated the world.

So long that…

Even Xiao Feng himself is almost forgetting how to play the game.

But he hasn't forgotten the All Heavens world.

He still remembers his former glory, and remembers Xun Shuang and Xiao Fan waiting for him.

Time on the Infinite Continent continues; Xiao Feng, day by day, continually analyzes this microcosm, gradually reflecting it in his heart.

"Soon, soon. Ruoruo, Ranran, Dad, Mom, Ning'er, Xiao Nian... wait for me to come back."

"Also, Shuang'er, Xiao Fan—I'm about to gain control of a universe; I can ask the Creator God to let you come to this world…"

With the passage of time, Xiao Feng's understanding of cosmic laws grows deeper.

These nine hundred years seem to have no cultivation, but his

His cultivation has increased, yet it far surpasses the past!

His physical body, will, and understanding of laws are all deepening.

When he leaves seclusion, that will be the time of a sudden surge in strength and breakthrough!
