Chapter 324 Finally Back to Earth Of course she understood Sang Zhitao's...
She certainly understood what Sang Zhitao meant.
If she hadn't increased her power by devouring the world, then when she met Sang Zhitao, they might have remained as one with two souls, just like in the beginning.
Now, covered in blood, she can no longer be fused with Sang Zhitao.
"Was I...wrong?" Zhen's gaze turned blankly to Sang Zhitao, the half-body who should be connected to his soul and the closest being to him.
Sang Zhitao didn't look at her, but instead looked at the surrounding desert: "If I say you are right, then those dead worlds are innocent as well."
"But if you're wrong..."
Sang Zhitao lowered her eyes to look at her: "Your nature is to devour and destroy. You follow your instincts, so how can I say it's wrong?"
She forced a smile, a fierce battle between resistance and relief raging in her eyes.
Finally, the resistance in her eyes faded, replaced by a peace that was almost liberating.
He didn't speak again, nor did he attack again; he simply closed his eyes slowly: "Whatever..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her body suddenly reverted to its original form.
Shin, whose body had mostly turned pink, extended a tentacle from the gap in the cage and reached directly in front of Sang Zhi Tao.
Sang Zhitao sighed deeply, then transformed back into her original form, extending a tentacle as well.
Two tentacles touched slightly outside the cage, and the real tentacle gradually merged into Sang Zhitao's tentacle.
The cage made of sand and gravel also turned into sand and gravel as the two merged together and returned to the desert.
Just as the last tentacle was about to merge into Sang Zhitao's body, she heard Zhen's last words.
"I really like my name..."
“Xu…” Sang Zhitao closed her eyes slightly and uttered a single word.
When she opened her eyes, she reached out and touched her chest.
The half of my body that used to talk and argue with me in my memory will never exist again starting today.
Such a thought flashed through Sang Zhitao's mind.
The time she spent with Zhen was much shorter than she had imagined, not even as long as her memories after becoming a world consciousness.
But that was precisely the most important memory of her life, the time when her personality was built up after her reincarnation, and also the time when she was most lonely.
Since regaining all her memories, she has been unable to ignore the real ones.
Although she had prepared herself mentally before coming here, the sense of loss and regret still filled her heart at this moment.
A beam of green light shot up from the ground and instantly enveloped Sang Zhitao.
The green light quickly dissipated, and Sang Zhitao, who was standing in the same spot, changed her appearance again.
Her once golden-green hair had now turned a deep, dark green, dotted with silver specks, like stars in the Milky Way.
At this moment, her left eye was a vibrant green representing life and a deep black representing destruction. The two colors would switch from time to time, yet they always conveyed a peaceful understanding of all things.
Sang Zhitao was now taller than before, and her cultivation robes had transformed into a flowing, silvery robe.
This long robe is similar in style to the Quju robe of the Qin and Han dynasties, but with a more elegant and graceful feel.
Sang Zhitao calmly looked at the desert where there was hardly any sand left, slowly raised her hand, one hand holding life, the other destruction, and the two forces intertwined and plunged into the earth.
"Time rewind..." Her voice was ethereal and majestic, echoing in this withered world, as if to awaken everything.
The sky had lost its light, and apart from the light from the divine power in her hands, there was only the faint glimmer of light from the desert sand.
As she channeled her power, the sand grains seemed to be summoned, forming a long river of stars composed of glimmering light that flew into the sky.
"Surf back!" Sang Zhitao commanded again.
An even more powerful force emanated outwards from her.
Those star-like grains of sand scattered across the sky as if summoned by some force.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A sound like a heartbeat came from the universe.
Sang Zhitao smiled slightly, realizing that from this moment on, the world had truly come "alive".
She lightly touched the ground with her toes and flew straight into space.
The power within him continued to spread outwards.
The grains of sand on the planet flew out of the planet and into all parts of the universe, and then little by little they gathered together to form star clusters.
Sang Zhitao silently channeled her power until the universe was re-formed, until the planet before her seemed to be awakened, and the first single-celled organism appeared.
She didn't look at what happened next and flew directly out of the world into the void.
"You must have been a little sad back then, right?" Sang Zhitao touched her chest and sighed.
After she devoured Shin, she discovered that Shin had not completely devoured the world back then; she had left a spark for it.
Therefore, Sang Zhitao was able to save the world after she became her complete form.
“The same main world level, what should we do?” Sang Zhitao held the world she had finally managed to survive in, looked at her Earth world group which had achieved a perfect cycle, and was in a dilemma for a moment.
When she was truly driven out of the world, she was a new Earth built independently of this planet.
Even though the previous worlds were occupied by the True One because of her power, they recognized her participation after she rebuilt the main world, and were even separated from it by her and recognized Earth as the main world.
She then traveled to the realm of the gods of the past and restructured the smaller worlds, which then came to regard Earth as the new main world system.
The original world has been abandoned; she cannot contain two worlds of different world levels within one system, just as a pride of lions cannot have two kings.
"Forget it, I'll rebuild the system for you when I have time. You need to stay alive for now." Sang Zhitao hesitated for a long time before letting out a heavy breath and putting the "world core" back into her sleeve.
Upon arriving outside Earth and gazing at the increasingly bright world, she couldn't help but smile: "It's developed so well."
With that, she flew directly into the world.
At the lunar base, the long-absent alarm sounded again.
Everyone looked at the room that hadn't been lit for a long time.
"Yes...she's back!"
"Peach is back! Report this immediately!"
"Notify Comrade Sang and the others to come to the moon quickly!"
Exclamations of surprise, astonishment, and calls to friends filled the quiet base.
"What's wrong?" The newly appointed base leader rubbed his aching temples and looked at his secretary beside him.
His secretary was discussing the upcoming itinerary with him when he suddenly asked her a question. She paused for a moment, then adjusted her glasses and said, "Judging from that alarm, it must be that person returning."
"That one?" The new base commander frowned deeply, and it took him a long time to react. "Her?...Why did she suddenly come back?"
"Hmm?" He spoke the last sentence very softly, so much so that the secretary didn't hear it at first.
The new base commander didn't reply to her, but instead waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's go take a look first."
The secretary quickly nodded and went to lead the way.
The newly appointed base commander's eyes flashed, and he quickly stepped out the door.
The secretary tapped her thumb on her little fingernail and followed obediently behind him.
"Ahem!" The new base commander arrived at World Square and found it already crowded with people.
He coughed a few times, but no one responded. The newly appointed base leader frowned and his face darkened.
He gave the secretary a cold look.
The cute-looking secretary quickly stopped chuckling, put on a stern face, and tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder.
The other person turned around, his angry face immediately turning respectful: "Base Commander."
As he spoke, he quickly pulled his companion aside to make way for him.
So, you reminded me, I reminded you, and we managed to squeeze through the crowd to make a narrow path just wide enough for one person.
Once they reached the very center, even with the new base commander's grim expression, he couldn't simply tell the group to move aside.
After all, everyone in the central position is a veteran from the early days of the base's establishment, a national treasure with more seniority than him.
The newly appointed base commander was blocked by the crowd and could not move forward. He could only stare through the gaps at the completely different figure in the center.
The man had his back to the newly appointed base leader, and all he could see was a long, dark green head of hair that reached his waist, shimmering like silk under the artificial light.
"Ah, it's the new base commander." After some time had passed and many of the people on the periphery had dispersed, a woman in the middle turned around and greeted him meaningfully.
"Professor Lin." The new base chief's eyes turned slightly cold, but his expression remained unchanged as he nodded slightly to Lin Jing.
Sang Zhitao then turned around.
The new base commander stared at that indescribable face, frozen in place for a moment. A strange chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and he felt a suffocating sensation as if he had died and come back to life.
"Has Uncle Li retired?" Sang Zhitao turned her head slightly to look at Lin Jing.
Lin Jing chuckled and nodded: "There's nothing we can do. Although we've reached an average lifespan of 300 years, for the first generation who extended their lifespan and don't have any other talents, 150 years old is already considered old."
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Isn't that considered middle-aged?"
"My mindset is getting old." Lin Jing sighed softly.
Sang Zhitao turned her gaze to the new base chief, a smile curving her lips: "You're the one who's succeeding Uncle Li?"
The new base commander quickly shook his head and said, "No, I am the third base commander after Base Commander Li."
Sang Zhitao frowned slightly and turned to Lin Jing: "Lifespans have been extended, so why is the change of base leaders still so frequent?"
Lin Jing smiled slightly but didn't offer any further explanation.
After scanning the two of them several times, the new base commander introduced himself: "My surname is Zhang."
Sang Zhitao nodded slightly and looked at the secretary next to him.
The secretary greeted her with a light laugh, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Ruoruo~"
Sang Zhitao was taken aback. She flashed in front of her and gently touched the girl's face with her fingertips until the girl's cheeks turned bright red. Then she exclaimed incredulously, "Ruo Ruo?!"
Sang Ruoruo nodded obediently: "Yes, it's me, Auntie."
"Where is your sister?" Sang Zhitao asked, looking somewhat dazed.
Sang Ruoruo chuckled and looked at Lin Jing behind her: "My sister is now Professor Lin's student."
Sang Zhitao suddenly turned to look at Lin Jing: "Did that child go to study space?"
Lin Jing smiled and nodded.
Sang Zhitao let out a heavy sigh: "Looking at these children, I realize how fast time flies."
“After all, you’ve been gone for sixty years this time, half a century has passed.” Lin Jing touched her face. “Look at my face, it’s full of wrinkles.”
A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed across Sang Zhitao's brow: "Yes, in the blink of an eye, all my old friends have turned gray."
Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, then quickly reassured her, "It's alright, we still have many years to spend together."
She then looked at the base commander and said, "Base Commander Zhang, is there anything else? If not, I'll take Tao Tao back to our room."
Base Chief Zhang was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand, "It's alright, please."
Lin Jing, holding Sang Zhitao's hand, brushed past him and suddenly said, "Ruoruo, let's go together. You haven't seen your aunt for many years, have you?"
Before Sang Ruoruo could speak, Lin Jing grabbed her hand and pushed her forward, not forgetting to look at Base Chief Zhang and say, "Is it alright, Base Chief?"
Base Chief Zhang smiled, his expression refined: "Of course."
With a hint of mockery in her eyes, Lin Jing pulled Sang Zhitao and Wang Ruoruo outside.
