Chapter 125 Return to Earth, The Brutal First Day
After sorting through and digesting all her past life memories, Xiaobai finally understood.
His past life was actually the spirit born from a celestial sword. Because he deeply loved his master, the goddess Baiyu, he survived the tribulation of transformation and became her partner.
Later, when the extraterrestrial demons invaded, the entire family of three perished in that cataclysmic disaster.
Under normal circumstances, if a celestial sword is shattered, its spirit soul is also shattered, making reincarnation impossible.
However, driven by his obsession with his wife Bai Yu, he insisted on following her spirit to the mortal realm for reincarnation.
However, he and she were forced to separate while traversing the spatial passage.
Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, he met her again after she was reincarnated.
No wonder he, the heir to a powerful family on Green Algae Star, would fall in love with an ordinary girl from a poor neighborhood.
It turns out that he and she were inextricably intertwined; he was born for her, died for her, and was reincarnated for her.
Looking back on the years since they reunited, he realized he hadn't been able to protect her from the storms of life; on the contrary, she was the one who often shielded him.
Just like when he was a fragile sword spirit, she nurtured him with her divine consciousness day after day.
"Bai Yu, Zuo Shan, Yu Shan, since Heaven has allowed me to awaken my memories before the great battle, this time I will definitely protect you and our daughter."
A sharp light shot from Xiaobai's eyes, like a sword about to be drawn from its sheath.
No, he is no longer the weak and helpless Xiaobai who couldn't protect his wife and children.
He is Lan Po, he is the sharpest sword in her hand!
Having awakened his memories of his past life, Lan Po's aura surged.
He, who once had only a superficial understanding of cultivation, could now casually conjure a spell that was a hundred times more powerful than before.
Inside the Trial Tower, a humanoid sword charged towards more demonic beasts. He, who used to find it difficult to kill even a single ninth-tier demonic beast, now charged into a group of ninth-tier demonic beasts as if they were nothing.
He now only wants to be faster, even faster, to raise his cultivation to the highest level that the Heavenly Dao of this realm can tolerate.
Only then could he leave the Trial Tower and tell his wife and children the good news, so that they would no longer have to worry about the impending catastrophe.
He wanted to tell them that he was the sharpest sword in the world, born only to protect them.
Outside the Trial Tower, Steward Feng was overjoyed to see the sudden burst of dazzling light: "Who is this? In such a short time, they have broken through the first three levels of the Trial Tower and are still rushing forward?"
**
Yu Shan looked around; her husband and daughter were no longer by her side.
She wasn't surprised at all. Since the Trial Tower was a place where one could quickly improve their strength, it would inevitably present different challenges to each person.
She remained calm and composed, and began to observe her surroundings.
Then, she discovered that this was actually the small rural village where she had lived in her youth on Earth.
At this moment, she was standing on the hillside behind where she often gathered pig feed.
She glanced at her hands and feet instinctively.
Whew! Thank goodness, at least it's not a child's hands and feet, but an adult's.
She was somewhat dazed. She hadn't used time travel, so why was she back in the countryside of Earth?
But whatever the reason, now that she's back in the countryside, she wants to take the opportunity to visit her grandparents.
She tried to fly, but found that she had no spiritual power in her body.
She thought this must be an illusion, in which all her cultivation had been reset to zero.
But it doesn't matter. She was already a marathon runner on Earth. Even without spiritual power, she still has a pair of long legs that can run.
Yu Shan took off running down the mountain. When she finally saw the little village she remembered in the distance, she was so excited that tears streamed down her face.
She ran all the way, not caring about anything else, just wanting to see her grandparents as soon as possible.
When she finally ran into the village, she suddenly noticed something was wrong.
It was evening, and the sun was setting.
In the past, this was the liveliest time in the village. After dinner, the villagers would gather under the big willow tree at the village entrance, chatting about this and that.
All the young and middle-aged people in the village have gone to work in the city, leaving behind only the elderly and children like her who are left behind.
They had no other form of entertainment besides watching television, so everyone liked to gather under the big willow tree to chat after dinner.
But today, the area under the big willow tree is deserted; there isn't a single person in sight.
She felt this was very abnormal; even if the elderly were too lazy to go out, it was impossible for all the children to stay at home obediently and do their homework.
Then, she saw a person staggering out from behind the village chief's courtyard wall.
Years of cultivation had sharpened her five senses, and even though she couldn't use her spiritual power at the moment, she could tell at a glance that this person was abnormal.
She was an old woman, but her hair was disheveled, and her face was streaked with black and yellow, making it impossible to recognize her original appearance. Her clothes were also torn in several places.
Even worse, her walking posture was stiff and slow, and her body swayed abnormally.
Having experienced the devastation caused by the Withering Virus in the Flowing Star System, she immediately judged that this person was most likely a zombie infected with a similar virus.
So, have the people in the village been infected with the wither virus?
If that's the case, will her grandparents also be affected?
At that moment, Yu Shan's heart pounded wildly, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
She was trying to avoid the zombies ahead and get to her own courtyard as soon as possible, but the zombies had already smelled the scent of a living person on her.
She screamed and stumbled toward her, her inhuman voice confirming to Yu Shan that she was a walking corpse!
She deftly dodged the zombie's pounce, and the zombie, having missed its target, fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of the situation, Yu Shan kneed her in the lower back, grabbed her head with both hands, and twisted it forcefully.
With a snap, the zombie's neck broke, marking the end of the ordeal.
But at that moment, her eyes met those of the walking corpse, and she finally saw its face clearly.
She's Grandma Liu, who lives next door!
Feather Fan immediately released his grip, climbed off the dead zombie, and staggered back a few steps.
Then, tears welled up uncontrollably, and she cried so hard she could barely breathe.
"Grandma Liu, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, Xiao Fan didn't mean to!" she cried, her heart filled with deep guilt.
Grandma Liu was the kindest old lady to her, besides her grandparents, during the years she was a left-behind child.
After Grandma Liu's son and daughter-in-law moved to the city, they tried to bring her over, but she wasn't used to it and didn't want to be a burden on her children, so she insisted on staying.
Grandma Liu's husband passed away long ago, and she is an old woman living alone in the village.
But whenever she cooked something delicious, she would give it to her.
When she got out of school, Grandma Liu would sit at her door and greet her warmly: "Little fan, you're out of school? Come, come, I have some freshly steamed rice cakes here today, have one while it's hot."
However, the moment she returned to the village, she snapped her neck with her own hands.
