Chapter 286: What a Coincidence, You’re Here Too

Xu Xi had always felt…

That cultivation and life were not in conflict.

One should grow stronger when it's time to grow stronger, and experience life when it's time to experience it.

Even though he had ascended to the divine throne and the girls were eternal Supremes, Xu Xi's pace of life remained the same as when he was an ordinary person.

Scrolling through his phone, looking at the scenery, and going shopping.

"Thinking about it, I've lived in this Courtyard for a full year. It's time to add or replace some new furniture."

"Mo Li, Klisa, Yingxue, Ele."

"I should bring them some gifts when I go out."

Xu Xi put down his pen and paper.

He had a preliminary plan for his next move.

He prepared to head out to buy a few things.

Should he take anyone with him?

The Mech-Servant and the witch were both reliable beings with maxed-out domestic skills.

No matter who he took, they would provide excellent assistance.

Subconsciously…

Xu Xi turned his gaze toward the window.

The atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful. Klisa and Ele were still pruning their respective sections, and the winter Courtyard was being kept beautiful and serene.

Yet for some reason, Xu Xi felt that the Courtyard at this moment seemed colder than other areas of Yanshan City.

"…Well, I'll just go by myself."

Xu Xi felt…

That for a small matter like buying items, there was no need to trouble anyone.

Xu Xi summoned the jianmu sword-staff, silently channeled the Law of space, and left the room without a sound.

Almost simultaneously…

In the Courtyard, the witch and the Mech-Servant who were pruning the plants stopped their movements in unison.

The County Princess, who was roasting dragon meat to eat by herself, also stopped chewing.

…

Chaos, disorder, surging.

At the intersection of time and space.

In the collision zone between planes and the Universe.

Infinite Chaos surged, and the Mother River of Time and Space shook. An existence that seemed tiny but actually contained endless power was currently slashing through worlds with a blood-stained Wooden Sword.

A sweep.

A swing.

The Space Barriers that drove countless ascenders to despair…

Were easily shattered apart.

"Soon, Brother."

"It won't be long before I can completely upgrade Earth and arrive by your side one step ahead of the others."

Amidst the shattered fragments of worlds…

The Female Immortal stepped onto the Mother River of Time and Space, letting out a murmur that only she could hear.

Her calm words contained endless attachment.

And a hint of anticipation.

Over these years, she had persistently infused world fragments from the cultivation side into Earth.

This greatly accelerated Earth's upgrade speed.

This was not only to allow her true body to enter Earth but also to become the first person in a true sense, ahead of the other Supremes.

Theoretically…

As long as enough world fragments were absorbed, Earth could upgrade and evolve to be comparable to the former Immortal Realm, or even surpass it.

Becoming sufficient to carry the status of a Supreme.

However, there was also a strategy to what kind of fragments were absorbed.

"It's almost time…"

"In a few more days…"

"Earth will be able to completely Fusion with the Immortal Realm, and can carry my appearance first…"

The Female Immortal lightly raised her palm.

World fragments flew about, swept up by the Chaos Qi, emitting a thick aura of the cultivation side as they all poured into the Universe where Earth was located.

The azure planet was growing vigorously.

Its aura was complex and intertwined, possessing several different Supreme auras.

But compared to the cultivation side, the other auras were clearly a level weaker and not as flourishing.

This is my hidden route!

Xu Moli's lips curled up; she felt that victory was within her grasp, already seeing the dawn of triumph.

"However, it's still far from enough…"

"I need more, more and more…"

Chaos vibrated, and time flowed backward.

Her fair, slender hands lightly gripped the sword hilt, using a calm and sharp Divine Ability to slash open great worlds within the long River of Time.

Only, amidst her busyness…

The Female Immortal also felt something was strange.

It seemed…

Too quiet?

Something was wrong, something was very wrong.

————

The trees by the street had lost their former verdancy, leaving only bare branches swaying in the cold wind. The houses on both sides were covered in white snow, revealing only small storefronts.

Xu Xi's plan failed. When he swung the jianmu sword-staff to teleport from his study and appeared on the street outside…

By coincidence…

By an unbelievable coincidence…

On the street where heavy snow was falling, at the very first corner he passed, Xu Xi saw a familiar figure who greeted him in a familiar tone.

"Master, good afternoon."

"Are you also thinking of coming out to shop? What a coincidence."

The Mech-Servant said so.

The silver-clad world was covered with snowflakes across the street, making those silver-blue eyes appear even clearer.

"…It really is a coincidence, Ele."

Xu Xi started to speak but hesitated, then hesitated to speak again. Was it really such a coincidence?

He wasn't sure.

But in the current situation, it seemed impossible not to take the Mech-Servant along.

"Please take more rest and leave the relevant matters to me. Ele will always serve you," the loyal Mech-Servant requested, her tone sincere.

Xu Xi could only agree.

Large flakes of snow, like beautiful white butterflies, swirled lightly in the air and landed on Xu Xi and Ele's shoulders, delicately stacking into a thin layer.

But as they passed the second corner…

A strong wind blew toward them, perfectly blowing away the snow on Xu Xi's body.

"Mentor, what a coincidence…"

That was the face of a seventeen-year-old girl, not worn down by time nor haggard from the years. Her exquisite features complemented the silver snowy season perfectly.

The witch stood ahead, clutching her Magic Wand.

Tilting her head and blinking…

She greeted Xu Xi.

Xu Xi: …

"Yes, it really is a bit of a coincidence."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Xi likewise extended an invitation to the witch: "Klisa, do you want to buy some things with me?"

"Yes, Mentor."

The immortal witch joined the group.

With a calm face and hollow eyes, she was clearly expressionless, but when her light gray-silver hair swayed in the wind, Xu Xi seemed to see a hint of a smile.

Then…

Xu Xi passed the third corner.

At the end of his vision, he encountered yet another chance meeting. A fiery figure was squatting by the roadside, chewing on something.

Seeing Xu Xi's arrival, she impatiently stood up and waved.

"Mister, you came out too! What a coincidence!"

The County Princess chuckled.

She ran quickly toward Xu Xi.

Without waiting for Xu Xi's invitation, she squeezed to his side on her own, standing on her tiptoes with glowing eyes: "Is Mister going to buy something? I can help carry it."

"Then… I'll trouble you, Yingxue."

"No trouble at all, no trouble. As long as I can help Mister."

With a gulp…

Wu Yingxue swallowed the roasted dragon meat in her mouth.

In the howling wind and snow, Xu Xi looked back at the three girls he had "coincidentally" met and fell into deep thought.

Isn't this a bit too coincidental?

Next, it couldn't be… With a hesitant mindset, Xu Xi continued to walk forward.

"Brother, what a coincidence, you're here too."

She had successfully rushed back.

The Female Immortal, who had sensed something was wrong, finally noticed the oversight and timely projected herself in front of Xu Xi.
