Chapter 165: Long Time No See, A-Niu

"Could it be the world from the third simulation?"

Inside the bedroom of his new home in the Courtyard.

The window was like a frame, and the sunlight was like a brush, lightly sweeping across the objects in the room, evenly coating them with a golden halo.

Xu Xi sat on a wooden chair with a backrest, checking the news on Supernatural Home with his phone.

With the expansion of the Earth.

Besides serving as a trading platform, Supernatural Home…

…was gradually taking on the role of providing the locations of World Ruins, automatically notifying all Transcendents whenever a new World Ruin appeared.

Now.

Xu Xi's gaze was being drawn to the most recently appeared World Ruin.

That World Ruin was extremely massive, emerging from the Void Realm and abruptly merging into the wild mountains, carrying a very thrilling martial arts aura that intimidated thousands.

Cultivators from the Supernatural Administration Bureau tried to approach.

But in a short instant, they were suppressed by a terrifying aura as vast as an abyss and as heavy as a prison.

Consequently.

This martial arts-side World Ruin was classified as extremely dangerous; all personnel were evacuated, and experts from the headquarters were dispatched to investigate.

"Martial arts-side World Ruins are rare to begin with."

"Now that one has finally appeared, perhaps it's that world from the simulation."

Xu Xi slowly stood up.

His heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation for the newly appeared World Ruin.

If this World Ruin came from the Martial Arts World of the third simulation, it would naturally be excellent; perhaps he could learn about the situation.

Even if it wasn't, he could clear the threat in passing to prevent the World Ruin from harming the real world.

After a moment of thought.

Xu Xi felt it was very necessary for him to go there.

"Then, it's decided," Xu Xi said, raising his hand. The Jianmu weapon, which resembled both a sword and a staff, was lightly gripped in his palm.

The Supreme crown, a gift from the witch that possessed authority over time and space, blossomed with light at this moment.

Xu Xi held the staff.

He lightly tapped the floor.

Ripples of space quickly swept past, swallowing and enveloping him. When he reappeared, he was already in the outskirts of Yanshan City.

"Let me see, the location of the World Ruin is…"

"I see, is it in this direction?"

Xu Xi slightly closed his eyes.

A sanctuary-level composite Domain, along with his extraordinary Mental Energy, radiated and spread at an extremely fast speed.

Continuously correcting the landing point of his Space Magic.

"Swish! …Swish, swish! …Swish, swish, swish!"

A strange scene appeared.

In the azure sky, clear and empty, someone was stepping upon it. With every step, they crossed a vast distance, treating the heavens and white clouds as if they were nothing.

This was repeated several times.

Constantly correcting, constantly positioning.

By the time Xu Xi stopped, he was already in front of an unfamiliar wild mountain.

He saw it: a massive World Ruin stood at the foot of the mountain, vast and expansive, appearing even more gargantuan than the Heavenly Sword Sect battlefield he had seen before.

But—

Xu Xi did not feel the mysterious sense of pressure described on the Supernatural Home website.

"What exactly is hidden inside here?"

The World Ruin was massive, covered in a pale yellow exterior.

Looking at it roughly as a whole, it had the sense of the "Round Heaven and Square Earth" recorded in ancient texts, covered by semi-circular soil-brown sand, revealing a patch of yellow sky.

Xu Xi took a rough look and reached a conclusion:

"The intensity of the flying dust and sand on the exterior alone is equivalent to an attack above the Nascent Soul stage. No wonder ordinary Transcendents from the Supernatural Administration Bureau cannot approach it."

"Presumably, that so-called sense of pressure…"

"…is a misjudgment of the world's great power by low-level cultivators due to their lack of experience."

Xu Xi began to walk.

After seeing the miraculous nature of the new World Ruin, his heart became even more curious.

Curious about what kind of world such a World Ruin would come from.

"Whoosh—"

"Whoosh—"

The power originating from his Domain followed Xu Xi's steps, gradually penetrating deep into the World Ruin's interior, parting all the roaring dust and sand.

A passage was revealed.

Exclusively for Xu Xi.

However, just as Xu Xi stepped inside, before he had truly entered the interior of the World Ruin…

…something that surprised him happened.

The protective dust storm on the exterior of the entire World Ruin actually collapsed upon his arrival, revealing the true scenery inside.

Those were incredibly familiar buildings that existed only in his memories.

It was a dilapidated town stained with blood.

At the same time, a dense crowd of people continuously walked out of the town, forming a crowded and bustling tide of people coming toward Xu Xi.

The leader was neither tall and powerful nor handsome and dashing.

On the contrary.

He looked very mediocre.

Mediocre with a hint of simple-mindedness, his face tanned dark by the sun, he was the typical image of a farmer, and he was carrying an old woman on his back.

"Mother, we're almost there!"

"Little Master Wu said Brother Xu is nearby!"

The simple-minded man spoke in an extremely excited tone.

The old woman he was carrying patted the man's head with her palm.

"A-Niu, you must listen to what Xi-geer says. He is a Star Lord from the heavens who descended to save us."

"Hehe, Mother, I'll definitely listen to Brother Xu."

The man replied with a silly grin.

He didn't look very bright.

Behind him, the dense tide of people, old and young, male and female, were talking about much the same thing.

Their mouths were full of "Grand Master Xu" and "Little Master Wu."

Xu Xi recognized them.

He recognized those simple yet regret-filled faces.

Among them were the residents of Qingniu Town, the starving people of the Qiuhuo Army, and everyone who wanted to survive.

They were pitiful, spending their whole lives seeking survival yet never having seen what it was to truly live; in their entire lives, the number of times they had eaten their fill could be counted on both hands.

But now.

Regrets were no longer regrets.

Those who had once passed away had once again become vibrant lives.

Xu Xi smiled, smiling very happily, and the people walking out of the World Ruin also truly saw Xu Xi's presence.

"Brother Xu! Xi-geer! Grand Master Xu!"

People shouted various different titles.

The expressions on their faces were filled with joy.

The leader even broke into a dash, carrying his elderly mother, and rushed eagerly to Xu Xi.

"Long time no see, A-Niu."

"Long time no see, Aunt Zhang."

Xu Xi lightly patted A-Niu's shoulder, seeing that the man's cheeks were as red as sunset clouds because he was so moved.

It was excitement.

And even more, it was weeping with joy.

"Brother Xu, I… I missed you so much," the simple-hearted man said while blubbering, crystal tears bursting from his eyes, looking foolish and clumsy.

"It's alright, A-Niu, I'm right here."

Xu Xi comforted him softly.

He thought he probably knew why the World Ruin before him and the people who had once died were appearing on Earth.

There was only one person who could accomplish this and had a reason to do so.

Only one.

"Is it Yingxue?" Xu Xi voiced his guess with a certain tone.

Just as Xu Xi wanted to say something more to comfort the members of the Qiuhuo Army and the people who had once died, a roar of shock and anger came from the sky.

"By the Dragon God!"

"I!"

"Rexanches Astartes Nesario Acnologia Cakkarogita!"

"Shall bring the dragon's wrath!"

"Kneel and beg for mercy, you dregs of another world!"
