Chapter 2067 Changes in Situation
Chapter 2067 Changes in Situation
?Looking down at the bustling Hangzhou City below, Lin Xinyao’s eyes welled with a myriad of emotions. She had died, been reincarnated, and finally returned to her hometown.
Earlier, when she heard Yun Lintian talk about Earth, she was overcome with excitement and couldn’t wait to return.
Yun Lintian stepped forward and hugged Lin Xinyao from behind, holding her close without a word.
A gentle breeze ruffled Lin Xinyao’s hair as she leaned into Yun Lintian’s embrace. The familiar sights and sounds of Hangzhou City, a stark contrast to the fantastical world of cultivation they’d just left, sent a wave of nostalgia washing over her. Yet, a pang of sadness lingered – a reminder of the life she’d lost and the battles she’d faced to return.
Sensing her mixed emotions, Yun Lintian tightened his hold slightly. “We’ll go through it together,” he murmured.
Lin Xinyao smiled softly. “We will.”
Finally, she had a chance to stay by his side.
Yun Qianxue and the others gazed silently at the strange scenery before them. They now understood the source of Yun Lintian’s innovative ideas. This novel experience was unlike anything they’d ever seen.
“Lintian,” Yang Ningchang, Lynn, Ye Ling, and Lei Hao approached at that moment, just returning from Lan Qinghe’s place.
Lin Xinyao released herself from Yun Lintian’s embrace and turned to face the newcomers.
“Sister Ningchang, Sister Ye, Sister Lynn,” she greeted them with a smile, then turned to Lei Hao. “It’s good to see you again, Ah’Hao.”
“S-Sister Rain…” Lei Hao’s hand trembled. Though Lin Xinyao’s appearance differed from the Xia Yao he knew, her aura and demeanor were undeniably hers.
“Welcome back, Sister Yao,” Yang Ningchang offered sincerely.
“I was so relieved to learn of your reincarnation,” Lynn said gently. “Welcome back.”
Ye Ling smiled. “It’s good to see you again, Sister Yao.” She was genuinely happy for Lin Xinyao and Yun Lintian.
Yun Qianxue introduced herself, stepping forward. “Hello, I’m Qianxue.”
“Hello, Sister Qianxue,” Yang Ningchang, Lynn, and Ye Ling responded quickly.
Of Yun Lintian’s women, Yun Qianxue exuded the strongest sense of oppression, though it wasn’t malicious but rather stemmed from her innate temperament.
Smiling charmingly, Han Bingling introduced herself. “You are all very beautiful, sisters. My name is Han Bingling. We will be good sisters from now on.”
Yang Ningchang, Lynn, and Ye Ling couldn’t tear their eyes away from Han Bingling’s seductive figure. It was no wonder Yun Lintian fell for her.
“I’m Shen Liqiu, and this is Sister Mu Qiuxue,” Shen Liqiu chimed in.
Mu Qiuxue offered a rare smile to the three women.
“Hello, sisters,” Ye Ling said nervously. “Please take care of us.” In terms of seniority, she ranked lowest here.
“Don’t be nervous,” Han Bingling soothed, gently reaching out to touch Ye Ling’s buttocks as if inspecting merchandise. “Not bad, but you could use some more exercise.”
Ye Ling blushed. She hadn’t expected Han Bingling to be so forward.
“Ahem. Let’s get something to eat first,” Yun Lintian coughed slightly, walking towards the orphanage.
Lin Xinyao squeezed Ye Ling’s hand softly. “Thank you for taking care of this place,” she said. In her eyes, Ye Ling had sacrificed her own progress to manage the orphanage for Yun Lintian.
Ye Ling quickly shook her head. “It wasn’t difficult, Sister Yao. I didn’t do much.”
“Let’s go,” Lin Xinyao said. “There’s so much I want to ask.” With that, she followed Yun Lintian, everyone trailing behind.
A year had passed since Yun Lintian’s last visit. Earth had undergone a significant transformation. Except for China and those leading the Hell Church, no one was aware of the mastermind behind these changes.
During this period, scientists and climate activists discovered that all pollution – in air, land, and water – had mysteriously vanished. Pollution levels plummeted to near zero. They couldn’t explain the miraculous transformation and could only describe it as the world healing itself.
Simultaneously, deserts around the globe began to see the emergence of new forests and rivers. This change undoubtedly impacted the natural ecology, but the process was gradual enough for species to adapt to their new environment.
Governments worldwide also discovered a dramatic increase in the quantity of various rare minerals. Despite extensive research, they remained baffled by the phenomenon. Some leading scientists theorized a change within the Earth, causing buried minerals to rise to the surface.
Regardless of the cause, a sense of global joy prevailed.
Yun Lintian and his companions spent a full month on Earth before returning to Nine Firmament City.
Startled to see Lan Qinghe waiting by the tower, Yun Lintian greeted her, “Senior?”
Lan Qinghe smiled and explained, “I’m finally free.” The restraint placed upon her had vanished unexpectedly early, allowing her to travel freely once more.
“Congratulations, Senior,” Yun Lintian said sincerely.
“There’s been a change in the Nine Heavens Realm,” Lan Qinghe informed him. “The Heavenly Court has returned through the God of Heaven inheritor.”
Yun Lintian’s eyes widened in surprise. He subconsciously glanced at Yue Hua.
“It’s true,” Yue Hua confirmed. “Ren Yuan has successfully revived the Heavenly Court and subdued many people. Don’t worry, it’s not an immediate threat – there’s nothing we can do to stop him at this point.”
Frowning deeply, Yun Lintian inquired, “The Heavenly Court… What kind of power does it possess?”
“According to our knowledge,” Yue Hua replied, “it has the potential to control the entire realm. However, based on Ren Yuan’s recent activities, it’s clear he hasn’t achieved that level of dominance yet.”
“I’ve already investigated,” Lan Qinghe added. “The Western Emperor, the Northern Demon Lord, the Jade Emperor, and the Shadow Court haven’t responded to Ren Yuan’s call so far. These were all former subordinates of the God of Heaven.”
Yun Lintian pondered for a moment before asking, “Do you have any suggestions, Seniors?”
Yue Hua silently glanced at Lan Qinghe, deferring to her expertise.
“You have four options,” Lan Qinghe explained. “The first is to remain here and continue cultivating to increase your strength. The second involves avoiding the Nine Heavens Realm altogether and seeking refuge elsewhere, perhaps in the Celestial Realm.”
“The third option is a direct assault on the God Tomb. However, this carries significant risk, as you could be overwhelmed by enemies. Finally, you could explore the Nine Heavens Realm, seeking a way to eliminate Ren Yuan.”
She took a deep look at him and concluded, “Personally, I recommend staying here and focusing on cultivation until you reach True Godhood.”
Yun Lintian furrowed his brow deeply, plunging into deep contemplation…
