Actually, he had already anticipated this when he passed directly out of the atmosphere. Normally, he should have entered the Heavenly Court, but as he flew upwards, there was no Heavenly Court at all, only the atmosphere and the boundless universe.
Zuan fell silent. Had the entire Heavenly Court vanished?
Or perhaps the Heavenly Court isn't located in the sky as people imagine, but rather there's a teleportation array in the sky that will transport you there.
Where exactly is that Heavenly Court?
Zuan suddenly remembered the unusual time flow in the Heavenly Court, where one day in Heaven was equivalent to one year on Earth, which must have been near a black hole.
However, for some reason, it is no longer possible to go to the Heavenly Court in this era.
Could it be that Emperor Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth, and that the Jianmu tree broke, preventing earthly beings from ever reaching the heavenly court to behold the divine might?
Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, those legendary deities will likely find it difficult to appear in this world.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely agitated. If he couldn't go to the Heavenly Court, then he and the Mermaid Queen would never see each other again.
He had specifically left several coordinate points in the Heavenly Court, but now they are completely undetectable, obviously because they are too far apart, or there is some kind of array shielding them.
Left with no other choice, he had to come down from the moon and fly back to Earth.
The Earth here is much larger than the Earth before I traveled through time. Could it be that the Earth will shrink in the future due to the depletion of its vital energy?
Countless guesses came to mind, but unfortunately, none of them could be answered now.
After Zuan flew into the air, he suddenly turned and flew towards a mountain range.
If the Heavenly Court is beyond our reach, what about the Earth?
The Goddess of Wushan is also waiting for him!
As the saying goes, the world changes drastically. Countless years have passed since the Heavenly Court of the past, and the world's landscape has undergone tremendous changes.
Zuan clearly remembered the coordinates of Wushan, but when he arrived at those coordinates, he found that there was no mountain there, only a lake.
He even searched every inch of the lake, but found no trace of Wushan.
"The coordinates must have been misaligned due to changes in the terrain." Zuan had set up a teleportation array in Wushan back then, but after countless years, it was no longer detectable.
He could only rely on his memory and understanding of space, and ask the locals for various legends. After a few days, he finally found the Lingshan Mountain Range.
Although the spiritual energy of Mount Ling in this world is obviously more abundant than in other places, it is still far inferior to that of Mount Ling in the Heavenly Court world.
No wonder the cultivation novels I read in my past life often depicted each generation as worse than the last; it all comes down to the changing environment.
His divine sense covered the entire Mount Ling and quickly matched the current state of Mount Ling with that of Mount Ling in the Heavenly Court world.
Finally, he arrived at a beautiful mountain peak.
Although everything in the mountains has changed, I still felt a strange sense of familiarity as I walked along the way.
He quickly flew to the mountaintop, where the waterfall formed from the primordial energy was no longer there, and the mountaintop was no longer covered in flowers as before, but instead overgrown with weeds.
But Zuan could still vaguely see the scene on the mountaintop in the past through those weeds.
He arrived at the mountain wall and tried to open the original cave dwelling in the way he remembered. To be honest, he didn't have much hope. After all, countless years had passed, and everything had changed. Most of the original cave dwellings had long been destroyed in the long river of time.
To his surprise and delight, the mountain wall in front of him actually opened up, revealing the familiar cave!
Zu An's body trembled involuntarily. Could Yao Ji still be here?
As the daughter of the Red Emperor and the Goddess of Wushan, Yao Ji should still exist since Wushan still exists.
"Yao Ji?" he called softly. Although he was already extremely anxious, he still moved very slowly as he went in, afraid of getting a heartbreaking answer too soon.
As he entered, the originally dark cave suddenly lit up, celestial music filled the air, and a beautiful rain of flower petals fell from the sky. A graceful figure slowly walked out, just as she had when they first met.
"Yao Ji!"
Zuan was overjoyed and could no longer contain his emotions, so he pounced on him.
He walked straight through the figure, and the smile on his face froze instantly. What he saw was just a phantom of the Goddess of Wushan.
In fact, with his abilities, he should have recognized the other person at first glance. However, at that moment, he was overwhelmed with joy and happiness, which led him to make such a basic mistake.
"Brother Zu, I've always been curious about what the first thing you'll do when you see me. Let me guess, will you be very excited at first, and then very disappointed when you find out I'm not real?" The beautiful phantom's voice was more playful than usual, despite its usual coolness.
Zuan's heavy heart was slightly soothed by her smile. He could tell that the other party was not splitting her soul, but rather that a technology similar to a video mirror had left an effect, so they could not communicate with each other.
"Actually, I have another guess, which is that you couldn't help but hug me." The illusory figure sighed softly, "I don't know if I'm just imagining things, but I still remember your embrace when we parted. It was so warm, so comfortable, and at the same time, so heartbreaking."
“Yao Ji, I did hug you just now, and I still am.” Even though Zu An knew she couldn’t hear him, he still walked up to the phantom and gently “embraced” her.
At this moment, the illusory figure spoke again: "Although I don't know if you hugged me as the first thing we did when we met, I said this, so you should hug me now."
Zuan quietly examined her face. She was indeed exactly the same as Yao Ji. She used to be a cold beauty, but he never expected her to be so meticulous.
"I also want to hold you, but unfortunately I can't." The Goddess of Wushan also made a hugging gesture and nestled in his arms.
"Besides me, only you know how to open this cave. If you force it open, everything will be destroyed automatically." The Goddess of Wushan said to herself, "I promised to wait for you, but I've waited for a thousand years, ten thousand years, I don't even know how many ten thousand years have passed. You know, I've never had a concept of time."
Hearing her speak so softly, Zu An's heart trembled violently. From his perspective, it had only been half a day since they separated, but for her, countless millennia had passed.
The thought of waiting with hope, anticipating each day, only to be met with disappointment day after day, is heartbreaking.
“Yao Ji…” Zu An’s voice was a little hoarse. In the face of the long years, any words seemed so pale.
A hint of worry appeared in the beautiful eyes of the Goddess of Wushan: "Brother Zu, I know you would never forget me. You said you would come to find me, and you definitely will. But so much time has passed and you haven't come. I was worried that something had happened to you, so I went to find Sister Chang'e..."
