Chapter 1046 - At Earths Doorstep (1/2)
South Gate Planet…
This ancient planet was only a few thousand kilometers from side to side. Looking from above, it was covered with crumbled ruins of once mighty structures. Dust covered the stone paved road that hadn’t been trodden for thousands of years. Suddenly, a dim light was lit up in the desolate landscape.
“The Southern Gate of Connate. I’m finally back.”
Chen Fan appeared in the sky.
He was wearing a black outfit which complemented the darkness in his eyes. Emerging from the shadows of the clouds, he glided across the sky like a ghost. He had travelled the universe and seen countless planets. The quietness in s.p.a.ce and the incomprehensible vastness of the world unwinded his mind.
He looked around wistfully.
The Southern Gate of Connate was the furthest s.p.a.ce portal outside of the solar system, the final linkage between earth and the world beyond. Looking from above, it had once been a bustling place, and a testament to earth’s former glory. This had been the starting place of Chen Fan’s journey in his past life.
He had been away from earth for ten years.
As he observed the landscape, his mind drifted to earth, to his home.
“Sister An, mom, dad, Fei Fei and Xiao Qiong, how are you doing?”
Chen Fan couldn’t hold back the swelling emotion.
He had wanted to go back home ever since he entered a secluded cultivation on Planet Tianhuang. The presence of the outer s.p.a.ce sects on Earth made that urge even worse. However, Chen Fan had delayed his plan because of the Chinese on Tianhuang. They were on their last legs and would soon fall apart without him.
The Soul Tablet linked to his family members on earth was still intact, meaning they were safe.
However, the thought of returning home still burned in his mind. After things settled down on Tianhuang, he ama.s.sed a huge amount of Spirit Stones and teleported to The Southern Gate of Connate in less than half a month.
“I wonder what is happening on Earth.”
Chen Fan looked at the solar system.
A flicker of golden light danced in his eyes. It was bright enough to pierce the dark s.p.a.ce. Upon closer inspection, one could see the energy of Dharma Laws swirling amidst a cloud.
“What’s going on?”
Chen Fan frowned.
He sensed that something was amiss. Earth and the solar system were undergoing a Grand Opportunity of epic proportions, much more important than the birth of a couple of treasures. It was a paradigm s.h.i.+ft.
“I need to hurry.”
Even as Chen Fan got ready to move, he saw an iridescent light behind him and a powerful energy coming from the stone altar.
He was not alone.
“Who goes there?”
Chen Fan turned around and saw that a group of people had emerged from the light. Despite their odd-looking clothing, the men and women in the group looked fair and handsome.
Among the group of five cultivators, the most powerful was a male Nascent Soul Cultivator half-step away from becoming a Heavenly Lord.
