Chapter 01: Return


Central Sea City, Peaceful Residents Community.

The Peaceful Residents Community is located in the Haicheng suburb.

The environment of the community was not good at all.  
The residents' committee survived in name only up until now.

Most of the iron gates in the community were rustet, until even locking the door became a problem.
Actually the previous iron gates had not even been replaced.

Chen Xi stands in front of the community entrance.
Looking at the several cheerful young boys that are playing soccer in the garden, at the community playground … suddenly in his heart he is having a feeling of being separated from this world.

Just likes being separated from the world...

Yes, 500 years...five centuries long.

It seemed like he had just woken from a very long dream.
Unconscious until now he carefully surveyed his surroundings getting a familiar feeling
... Chen Xi thought he finally woke from that nightmare.

His venerable Master had said that he held an obsession in his heart that he was unable to give up.
Therefore he would be unable to further his cultivation.

Regarding this, Chen Xi actually had quite different thoughts.

What role in life can cultivation serve ?
To live  1000 years? 10,000 years? Even live forever?

Bah!

Fight everyday for cultivation resources. Not able to trust anyone.  Conspiring every minute. He was sick of it...

The wisp of obsession that was in his heart survives, if he wanted to stay alive in that brutal world , he had to become the best to resist the world.

Now he  recalls these so-called Immortals.
In which way are they different from the pigs and chickens which are fighting each other for food in their fences?

Thinking about it, Earth was much better than that place. Even though it is exhaustive to live here, it still makes people feel comfortable ...

Chen Xi lost in his thinking couldn't help but smile .

A 4 or 5-year-old boy stands not far away, looks at this silly odd man.

While he wants go forward to study this odd man...a fat aunt actually rushes in from the side, then seizes the ear of the boy, dragging him by his ear to walk toward the unit building.

Walking, the fat aunt scold him by saying:

"Your are not at all obedient.  How many times have I told you to stay away from strangers?  This old man would have killed and then eat you."

After hearing the words of his fat mother, the young boy obviously became afraid, hastily hugging her bosom, hiding in the unit building under her protection.

Chen Xi stands silently looking at the retreating figures, his face showing an embarrassed expression,he then looks down, somewhat helplessly smiling.

His present appearance is pitiful.

HIs former white long figure-fitting gown had already rotten and torn to the point that it looked like rags that hung on his body.
His hair was unkempt and stunk like chicken coop, making the air around him unpleasant as he stunk to the heaven and back, the air he inhaled burning in his lungs,

His appearance as he walks down the street wouldn’t be considered unusual. In regards to the avenue he was in similar appearances could be found near the trash cans  when you came upon a lunatic that lived there.

A pity, his soul is injured, cultivation base has been damaged greatly plus body has innumerable internal injuries...this is the price he had to  pay for coming back .

However miserably he looked and felt, at least he was still alive.If that did not count as luck what yould ?

He crossed the void forcefully with his cultivation base being of a Divine Transformation stage. He passed through several space cracks, surmounted many galaxies, after these untold hardships, he had to depend upon a mystique method named <Combustion blood Essence>.
Now finally he had found his way back to Earth...

WIthout exaggeration it could be said that this feat is absolutely unprecedented, a magnificent feat if the future.

Chen Xi mood returned to normal and walked in a familiar direction.
But as he was getting nearer and nearer to the familiar unit building, his heart started to unexpectedly beat fiercer.

This intense restless feeling that filled his heart he had not felt for 500 years !

In the cultivation world suffering 500 years with unimaginable hardships, he started as a janitor from lowest level and finally became Divine Monarch that left entire regions in awe of his power,
actually before he finally discarded all of that, he went all out to forcefully return here.
Actually, is not because of that wisp of obsession in his heart.

Since his life had the hopeless fate that could only result in the imperial throne, why could ne not go back home to finally rest early ?

Chen Xi had to be determined enough to reach home, if not he would have found his early end on the journey, but heaven have finally granted him his wish and as such enlarged ones vision.

Chen Xi thinking that he would only come back to find that all things changed to the blue sea turned into mulberry fields entirely, but no one has thought that after Chen Xi arrived at Earth, he discovered with surprise that the time on Earth had unexpectedly only passed five years!

Only passed five years!!!

Actual reason behind this complex time mystery, Chen Xi does not understand and also does not want to unravel.

He only cares about one problem now.

Five years passed by, she...
Waited for him?
She now...

Suddenly, Chen Xi does not dare to imagine the possibility, Does not dare to hope ...
The last 500 years he used to ascend to heights unimaginable, unto the position of the Divine Monarch and was honored as a Supreme talent in that world … but now he suddenly felt somewhat afraid.

Last year in today's this, lover of last year is gone while the peach blossoms remain the same served as contrast red.

The person surface does not know where, the peach blossoms smile at him while feeling the spring breeze just as before.

If you married another man , at that time I will forget the promise you once made …

Finally having made his decision as to how he would react to all eventual possibilities, Chen Xi steeled his heart and tried not to think about all of these distracting thoughts, entering the familiar iron gates in big strides.

My struggles to become an Immortal were not for immortality.

Only for...

To protect you for a lifetime and give you all the happiness I could.

Third Floor, Room 302.

When he saw the slightly discolored ‘luck’ sign  on the iron door Chen Xi was suddenly shocked.

The 'luck' sign was not traded, the antithetical couple had not traded it away.
Before he disappeared, he along with her personally pasted this luck sign.

Don't tell me...
She is waiting for me?

Chen Xi shivers slightly is extending his right hand,  and gently knocked on the door.

Present he felt like he before the wedding stage, the bridegroom who likely prepared to greet the bride standing on it, and he received the written invitation but actually did not dare to look at the above bridal name.

Chen Xi takes care of his tattered clothes, wanting to stroke them to be slightly pleasing to the eyes.

Afterward, he pulls on his hair, that skillful movement made more than 500 years ago,every morning before going out for an appointment or to the university to read, a practised move that he made in front of the mirror so long ago.

"Who?”

Chen Xi has not waited long, before a answer was transmitted through the door from the room.

Hearing the voice, Chen Xis heart instantly becomes empty.

This is not her voice...

Absolutely is not.

Perhaps to confirm Chen Xi's guess, after this sound was heard, the gate opens.

At the gate, one could see a roughly 50 to 60 years old aunt.

The aunt in seeing Chen Xi with his tattered appearance, her eyes flash with suspicion and other emotions , thinking that he must be a bad man that had come to rob her.


"What do you want !” The aunt intentionally roared loudly.

She is somewhat afraid of this person at present , therefore shouting intentionally loud, thus alarms the neighbor

"Sister, I am not a unprincipled person...”

Chen Xi towards such welcome helplessly recedes several steps although very reluctantly.While forcing a smiling face he says: " I was living by here before but left for a few years. But my wife remained to live here ... The aunt could you tell me where and when she moved out to?”

"What are you saying? I have lived in this room for several years! How could I have never seen you before ? Are you here to steal ? Don’t move I will call the police!”

"Don't... I  will leave.”

Chen Xi helplessly smiling after looking at the door plate above the iron door, somewhat unwillingly going back down the staircase.

It was not possible that he had remembered incorrectly, it was absolutely impossible.

This was his home.

At least, it once was his home.

The aunt hides behind the gate, looking after Chen Xi turning around to depart, finally relaxing.

Secretly sizing up the silhouette of Chen Xi’s, the aunt suddenly remembers someone that resembles this man. No it could not be … The aunt hastily opened the door once again.

"You wait ...”

Before the aunt arrives before him, raising her head while carefully look at him some more.
Like she thought this person looks very much like the person in that picture.

Suddenly, the aunt holds Chen Xi's both arms fiercely, excited saying:" Is you, originally is you! Chen Family boy! You came back finally!”

"You... Are you Aunt Zhang?”

Before he could also only see her in the distance and could only see one side of her, therefore Chen Xi after looking carefully at her could finally recognise her. Luckily for him Aunt Zhang had recognised him ...

"How did you turn into this appearance? In the home is the picture that you left behind at that time, I did not recognize you today... Thank God,I fortunately  have not driven you away ... You finally came, actually where did you go all these years ? Did you know that she and the others had laboriously...”

Aunt Zhang was tugging on Chen Xi in her excited speech, but while speaking she had remembered something painful and could not bear it so she shed tears..

"Aunt Zhang, sorry, it is my mistake, I have not taken care of her.”

Seeing the appearance of Aunt Zhang like that, Chen Xi’s heart felt quite painful
That already rock-solid heart could  unexpectedly feel so painful.

Reaching an agreement makes one  bound by a common destiny, not having thought of Chen Xi actually walking away not making a sound.

This walks, is five years.

"Aunt Zhang, is she at home?” Chen Xi shivers his throat feeling closed making it hard for him to ask.

However, Aunt Zhang actually while wiped tears,saying:" She walked … before waiting for a very long time she walked, walks had not said where she must go...”

"Walked?”

Although he had made the innumerable preparations beforehand, but hearing this news from Aunt Zhang’s mouth , Chen Xi somewhat could not accept it.

Forcing his feelings to calm down, Chen Xi wanted to ask Aunt Zhang for more details, suddenly a crisp sound could be heard from the building.

"Grandmother, what are you doing a?”

Chen Xis eyes following the sound, he could see a roughly 4 or 5 year old little girl timidly standing on the staircase.

"Niannian, look quickly! Your father came back.”

Aunt Zhang beckoned to the little girl, then squatted beside her, pointed at Chen Xi saying:" Look, don't you want your father? Your father came back, call your father quickly.”

Chen Xi was shocked.

Looks that at present this powder carves jade to carve the fine little girl.
He looked at Aunt Zhangagain, seeing her earnest expression he felt completely ignorant.

The little girls looked at Chen Xi her  eyes timidly, then with the encouragement of Aunt Zhang, anxiously and somewhat restless calling out.

"Papa...”

Chen Xi's head blasts out loudly!

Papa although is very light, but it falls on his ear actually just like a thunder crack, making his fine hair stand vertical.

"Papa!”

Not having  gotten Chen Xi's response,the  little girl called once again.

However this time she no longer felt such fear, in her bright big eye he could see the anticipation.

"Did she have a daughter for me?”

Chen Xi squats down before his daughter fiercely grasping her in his arms, for 500 years his loneliness was attached to him like a deep-rooted ulcer of bone, circling though his apex cordis. Finally it vanished in this moment.
Unexpectedly this one generation Divine Monarch, started shedding tears in this moment.
For more than 500 years pacing back and forth and worrying, lonely with struggling...it was worth it!
