Chapter 670 - 669: Hua Xia, Home is Gone

Unlike Li Jing and Abigail, Jiang Yini found the city view below quite refreshing.

She was intrigued.

She wondered how these Blue-Star-like objects, such as vehicles, could move without the use of spiritual power.

Soon.

The trio landed on a street corner.

They were in a small western country that was decently developed.

The streets were bustling with blue-eyed blondes.

Though there was no shortage of easterners too.

From the looks of it.

This seemed to be a thriving small western country.

After a brief observation of the surroundings, Li Jing thought for a while and then spoke.

"This spatial plane is quite backwards, but as it stands, we are only on one habitable planet in the vast universe. It’s still necessary to explore it thoroughly."

Continuing, he said.

"Since there is a Western World, there must be an Eastern World. Abigail, you take care of investigating the Western World and see if there are any other faiths present."

Abigail nodded at hearing this.

Finding a new world to confirm the existence of other faiths is a standard procedure for the Supreme God Clan in their conquests.

Compared to spreading their faith.

They were more interested in the existence of other God Clans.

After all, faith was a blessing to Godhood.

While other God Clans could be eliminated and their God Patterns extracted for advancement.

And just as Li Jing said.

They were currently just on a planet with life.

Just because this planet is backward doesn’t mean that other places in this spatial plane don’t have higher "value".

Just as she was about to speak, Li Jing spoke again.

"If you are willing, you can spread your personal faith in the Western World. It may not be of much use to you, but having believers is always better than not having any."

Upon hearing this, Abigail nodded in agreement, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Li Jing was allowing her to spread her personal faith.

This meant.

There was no need to involve him, the Supreme God.

In the past.

This was something that all the Supreme God Clan members wouldn’t dare to dream of.

In the Supreme God Domain.

The Supreme God was unique.

Regardless of whether you were an ancestral god or what.

As long as there was faith, the Supreme God had to be involved.

Not to mention that the bulk of the faith of a wisdom civilization was taken by the Supreme God.

To put it bluntly.

No matter how much the faith of the Supreme God progressed, it could not deviate from the Supreme God being its core.

If there was defiance, it would be considered rebellion.

Having it this way ensured the centrality of the Supreme God Power within the Supreme Faith.

But it also created many disadvantages.

The most direct one being.

It’s hard for the middle and lower gods to gain more God Power through faith, making it difficult to significantly improve their combat power unless they participate in large scale God wars and profit from them.

There won’t be many of these middle and lower gods able to survive the God wars with their initially low combat power.

This led to most of the legitimate godhoods being held in the hands of beings who were good for nothing but had a high innate quality over the countless years.

This was detrimental to the development of the entire Supreme God Clan.

Abigail had ambition.

But her affiliation with the Supreme God Clan was unchangeable.

She hoped the Supreme God Clan would progress.

Even her desire for this was much stronger than most of the Supreme God Clan.

Moreover, in fact.

Her early idea was to allow the Supreme God clan to only spread their personal faith.

However, despite her strength, she was powerless to make any changes on her own and did not dare to hastily bring up her ideas.

Li Jing, as the new Supreme God, allowed her to only spread her personal faith in this unfamiliar spatial plane. Would he possibly...

Looking intently at Li Jing, Abigail hesitated to bring it up.

But she thought it best to tread carefully.

Li Jing was willing to trust her, and it was already a rarity.

Before she could produce any "results" that he would be impressed with, it was best not to push her luck.

She nodded slightly, Abigail said.

"I understand, Master. If I discover anything on the Westside, I will contact you via the God Pattern."

"Hmm."

Li Jing responded, and said.

"Don’t be impudent in handling things, discuss with me first."

Upon receiving these instructions, Abigail nodded her head, then turned into a wisp of black mist and vanished into the street.

Seeing this, Jiang Yini looked around and glanced at Li Jing.

"Will Abigail be alright on her own?"

"Even though she is an ancestral god, even if she can’t use a lot of power on this planet, she is more than capable of protecting herself."

Li Jing responded as he reached out to her saying,

"Let’s go, let’s go to my house."

???

Jiang Yini

Li Jing’s mention of "my house" admittedly left her somewhat stunned.

Seeing Jiang Yini’s confused face, Li Jing gave a gentle smile.

"I’ll explain on the way. The world is still the way it was when I left, but some time has obviously passed. I don’t know if my house still exists."

......

Being a time-traveler himself,

Li Jing initially intended to keep this secret buried in his heart forever.

It wasn’t until he met his "fellow townsman" Li Lingyin that he changed his mind.

There’s not just one Earth person in the Big World, what’s wrong with people knowing about it?

Not to mention Ye Piaoran later on.

Of course.

Li Jing was not so foolish as to let anyone know casually.

In his view,

Only Liu Sisi, Chen Yuran, and Yulian, three of his Taoist companions, needed to know he was from Earth.

But he did not want to blatantly inform them.

Stating this out of nowhere would be too abrupt.

The best way,

Would be for him to bring the trio back to his hometown one day, and it would happen naturally.

Now, he was back.

And the timing almost seemed perfect.

The only thing different from his original plans was that the person by his side was Jiang Yini instead of Liu Sisi and the others.

As his fourth Taoist companion.

Without a doubt, Jiang Yini also had the "right to know".

......

On the way to the Eastern Continent, Li Jing thoroughly explained to Jiang Yini that he was an accidental traveler to Blue Star, and told her every detail he had discovered so far.

This included the fact that he was inadvertently swept into the ordeal caused by Li Lingyin ascending, and because he was an ordinary person who couldn’t enter the Immortal Realm, he was used by the Big World’s Heavenly Path.

Hearing this, Jiang Yini was stunned.

Time travelled.

She didn’t find it too hard to accept.

Not to mention traveling through time is often depicted in various novels and movies on Blue Star -- time travelers do actually exist there.

However, the information related to time travelers is classified among classified, and rarely known to others.

Except for a few high-level authorities.

Even if you have sufficient access rights, you won’t find any information on time travelers in the classified documents you are allowed to view.

After all, it involves another spatial plane.

No matter which nation, the related information is well-protected.

Jiang Yini, who once was the chief of Jianghai City Management Bureau, had access to this information.

Because within her jurisdiction in Jianghai, a time traveler settled down and worked as an academician in the Research Institute.

Time travelers are often extraordinary.

Some even hold a high strategic value to their residing nation.

The one in Jianghai, who excels in creation, is a figure of tremendous influence within Jianghai Research Branch, with numerous authoritative research accomplishments that have revolutionized various fields under his name.

The part that Li Jing couldn’t quite accept was:

Not only did Li Jing travel through time, but he also made contact with the Heavenly Taoist of the Big World, becoming one of his arrangements.

As for Li Lingyin, who properly ascended to the Immortal Realm, she got nothing...

Compared to him.

Even if those time travelers on the Blue Star are incredible and unique, they are all inferior!

You should know...

That’s the Heavenly Taoist of the Big World!

But after learning about Li Jing’s time-traveling details, Jiang Yini has finally unraveled the mystery she had for years.

This guy was upgrading so fast that it was like he was cheating, turns out he really was cheating...

Although Li Jing didn’t mention what he gained after becoming an arrangement of the Heavenly Dao, how could the Heavenly Dao’s arrangement be ordinary?

To be honest.

If it was someone else saying this, Jiang Yini would definitely not believe and dismiss it.

But when Li Jing said it.

She believed.

Although she hadn’t seen the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist, she had seen the Heavenly Saint’s Heavenly Dao in Heavenly Saint Land before.

Although Li Jing and Heavenly Saint’s Heavenly Dao weren’t close, the latter left a message before leaving, asking him to send his regards to the one in the Big World. From this, a lot of information can be inferred.

Jiang Yini used to work in the Management Bureau after all.

Not asking directly doesn’t mean she won’t think deeply.

...

Before long.

Li Jing and Jiang Yini arrived at the Eastern Continent, where Hua Xia was located.

Back to where they came from.

Li Jing appeared calm on the surface, but he was greatly moved inside.

But soon.

He gave a bitter smile.

His original home was in a coastal city of Hua Xia, corresponding to Jianghai in Longyu Country.

Now they were at the right place.

But just as he feared

His home was gone...

Where his old rundown neighbourhood was supposed to be in his memory was replaced by clusters of high-rise buildings...

Seeing Li Jing hovering in mid-air over the high-rise buildings with a troubled look, Jiang Yini blinked, guessing what might be the matter, she managed to keep a straight face.

"Is this where your home used to be?"

Seeing her face as if she already knew the answer, and was now taking amusement in his hardship, Li Jing smiled.

"It used to be, but not anymore."

Saying so, he sighed lightly and landed with Jiang Yini onto the street.

"Let’s find a place to buy some clothes and blend in. The material of clothes on Earth is quite different from Blue Star’s, better not attract unnecessary attention."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yini blinked her beautiful eyes.

"Aren’t you going to find your family?"

"My parents passed away a long time ago, you could say I was an orphan."

Li Jing shrugged, and said,

"Mom and Dad did leave a house for me; it’s gone now though, don’t know who got lucky with it."

"Uh..."

Jiang Yini felt awkward, and replied with a peculiar tone,

"At least you should have some relatives, right?"

"We’re not really close, there’s no point in finding them."

Li Jing shook his head, and said with a melancholic tone.

"Who knows, my house might be developed and divided amongst them. If I suddenly pop up after a long disappearance, they might not be too happy to see me."

Jiang Yini was left speechless, she asked in a strange tone,

"Is it really this bad?"

"Such things happen on Blue Star as well."

Li Jing responded casually.

"It’s just that your background is different, you rarely had to deal with these matters."

In the middle of their conversation, he walked into a branded apparel shop with Jiang Yini.

"Let’s not talk about that, pick two clothes for us to change into."

...

As a standard rough man, Li Jing doesn’t care about clothes much.

In the clothing store, he randomly picked one and immediately changed into it.

Being a woman, Jiang Yini does have some considerations about clothing, but due to her past work, she isn’t too picky.

She casually picked a t-shirt in the clothing store, paired it with a pair of hot shorts and changed into them.

While changing clothes, Li Jing also confirmed the situation.

The current year on Earth is 2028.

He traveled in time in 2022, which means only six years have passed.

After changing their clothes, Li Jing left a small piece of gold at the counter as payment for the clothes, before leaving with Jiang Yini.

Retailers have it hard too.

He couldn’t just take their clothes and leave.

What should be given must be given.

At the moment, he couldn’t give anything else...

If he left some spiritual objects here, who knows how much trouble would be caused.

Luckily, he had a small reserve of gold in his Little Universe, where things like gold, considered valuable on Earth, had been increasingly produced over the past hundred years.

Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know what to give.

Walking on the street, Li Jing deactivated Silent Shadow while using Formless Divine Skill to alter their faces to match the appearance of the common people of Earth.

Revealing their true appearances was definitely not feasible.

Not to mention anything else.

Jiang Yini, being a female cultivator, naturally has stunning beauty.

To expose such beauty on Earth would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.

Li Jing himself wasn’t much different.

With the deepening of his cultivation, these changes were inevitable.

As he was about to explore the Hua Xia with Jiang Yini, to see how much his "hometown" has changed, a fair-skinned young girl suddenly appeared in Li Jing’s field of vision.

The moment he caught a glimpse of this girl, Li Jing stopped in his tracks.

?

Jiang Yini.

"What’s wrong?"

Li Jing didn’t answer, but silently watched the young girl walking towards the corner of the street.
