Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 371 Lord of the Moon, Moon Goddess (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
Many painful scenes from the past flashed before her eyes, scenes that had caused her psychological trauma.

Fortunately, after so many years, she is no longer the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl she once was. After years of wandering in foreign lands and establishing a powerful force like the Frostfire Alliance, her will has become incredibly resolute.

She now knows very well what she wants: to go back to Earth, back to her mother and Li Xiang.

Darkness has descended upon Earth. She doesn't know the state of the Earth, but she now possesses the strength of a level 30 cultivator. If she can return, she believes she can be of great help once again!

"Brother Xiang can't carry this alone, and I don't even know if Jiang Cai'er is lucky for her husband. I'll have to go back!" Luo Feifei snorted lightly, with a hint of arrogance. She didn't know if Jiang Cai'er was lucky for her husband, but she knew that with her level 30 strength and the fact that she had found a new planet suitable for human habitation, if she could find and clear the way back, she would definitely be lucky for her husband.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"

With a series of slashes from the White Tiger Sword, the illusions were shattered one by one like glass. Her whole body was enveloped in a clear light, and the large inscription "Time-Space Anchor" appeared between her brows, locking onto the true location of the teleportation array. She walked towards it step by step.

Finally, he shattered the "Heart Demon Stone" at the core of the crystal cluster with his sword, and the world returned to its original state.

"Whoo~"

Although there were no powerful monsters in this level, the danger was no less. She felt her whole body was soaked in sweat, and her clothes were sticking to her body, which was very uncomfortable.

There was no way to take a bath here, so she took off her electric illusion armor, put all her dirty clothes into her space gem ring, cleaned her body with water-based spiritual power, and then took out a clean set of sportswear to put on.

Outside, the electric phantom armor reappeared, covering his entire body.

The teleportation array lit up, and Luo Feifei entered the next level.

Meanwhile, inside the spacetime anchor, the checkpoints she had passed through on her star map were being lit up one by one, and the star map was expanding, extending into the distant, unknown star field along a direction that had not appeared before.

……

Within the solar system, inside the moon, in the mysterious dark universe, Li Xiang is still in seclusion.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiang opened his eyes. He had completely merged with the "Heart of the Moon." At this moment, the moon was him, and he could represent the moon.

His cultivation level had reached the "Moon Wheel God King Realm," a full 39 levels.

Thoughts can easily expand to an altitude of 200 kilometers above the lunar surface in an instant.

Within this region, he can mobilize mysterious cosmic energy to form a force field that protects the entire moon and all airspace within a 200-kilometer altitude range.

On the surface of the moon, black mist surged and billowed. The Dark Abyss Star-Eating Dragon King, a divine-level spirit pet that was patrolling and faithfully performing its duties, suddenly sensed something and stopped. Its huge eyes stared at the sky, revealing astonishment.

The black mist rapidly receded into space, like the tide going out, and soon it reached an altitude of 200 kilometers before stopping.

There seemed to be an invisible energy shield repelling the black mist. But the extraordinary particles remained, and not only remained, they became even more concentrated.

"Could it be that Master succeeded? Has he already taken control of this satellite?" The Dark Abyss Star-Eating Dragon King felt a pang of disappointment. Originally, this planet should have been its.

Just then, Li Xiang's authoritative voice echoed in its mind: "What, are you harboring resentment?"

"No, no, no, absolutely not, absolutely not. I'm just happy for Master's success." The Dark Abyss Star-Eating Dragon King prostrated itself in fear and trembling, explaining repeatedly. Before, Li Xiang could already beat it up, and now, he could easily control it. As a Moon Wheel God King, even without using the power of the contract, Li Xiang could kill it with a single finger based on his strength alone.

The ruler of a planet is the most powerful being on that planet. If they went to other places, such as the depths of space or other planets, and if Li Xiang didn't use the power of the contract and fought fairly, it was confident that it could exchange dozens of blows with Li Xiang. But on the moon, killing it would only take one killing move.

It was afraid that Li Xiang now thought it was useless and wanted to kill it.

However, it was clearly overthinking things. How could Li Xiang bear to kill such a good henchman and the commander of the beast army? As long as the Dark Abyss Star-Eating Dragon King was not truly rebelling, Li Xiang would keep it.

Li Xiang wasn't a petty person. He judged his spirit beasts by their actions, not their intentions. As long as they obeyed his orders, strictly carried out the tasks he assigned, and didn't harm humans, even if they cursed him in secret, Li Xiang would at most give them a minor punishment.

Yes, he's a pragmatist. He's already forcibly bound the other person to his spirit beast servant; can't the other person even grumble a few words in their mind? He loves seeing the other person puffed up with anger but unable to resist.

"Master is becoming more and more powerful. He can even transmit his voice from this distance." The Dark Abyss Star-Eating Dragon King wagged his tail in shame.

"Alright, stop flattering me. Your flattery isn't very good either. Go on patrol. We'll call you if we need anything." Li Xiang dismissed the little dragon and immediately went to find Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui.

When it comes to flattery and providing emotional value, Zhao Xueqing and Yao Yao are the most comforting, and Lei Xiaohui is also quite good. The three of them, especially Zhao Xueqing and Yao Yao, flatter without leaving a trace, bringing joy effortlessly. Even Jiang Cai'er and Luo Feifei were easily won over by them.

When Li Xiang arrived, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui were holding a meeting with key personnel in the city hall of Guanghan City. Li Xiang did not disturb them, but instead wandered around Guanghan City.

He concealed himself, and no one noticed him. Otherwise, given his status and position, he would have caused a sensation wherever he went.

After more than a year of construction, Guanghan City has gotten on track, but many projects are still under construction.

Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui were in a meeting when a manager suddenly raised his hand. Zhao Xueqing noticed and asked, "Director Liu, is there something you need?"

Deputy Director Liu immediately stood up excitedly and said, "We just received news that the black fog on the lunar surface has dissipated and retreated to an altitude of about 200 kilometers."

On the lunar surface, there are also sentry posts, monitoring stations, scientific researchers on missions, special forces soldiers, and others. They, like the Dark Abyss Eclipse Dragon King, noticed the changes on the lunar surface and, while surprised, immediately reported them.

Director Liu was the first to receive the news and raised his hand to report it before anyone else.

Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui exchanged a glance, both seeing the undisguised joy in each other's eyes. Being incredibly clever, they immediately realized that it must be Xiang Ge's doing. It was all Xiang Ge's doing!
Sure enough, at that moment, Li Xiang transmitted his voice to them: "I'll be waiting for you at your residence. Also, the matter of my advancement to the Moon Wheel God King realm will remain a secret for now."

Li Xiang didn't know if the battle between the several space beast kings at the God-King level deep within Earth had ended. If it had, perhaps the victor had already begun refining the Heart of Earth, and if a resonance had been formed, it would likely be fully aware of what was happening on Earth. In that case, he would have to act secretly and plan carefully.

Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui suppressed their excitement, quickly finished the next agenda item, arranged the relevant work, and immediately adjourned the meeting to meet Li Xiang.

The two went home together. They were as close as sisters. As the joint city lords, they lived together so that they could take care of each other and have company.

"Brother, congratulations!"

"Brother, I miss you so much!"

The moment Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui saw Li Xiang, their delicate bodies trembled slightly, and they rushed towards him together.

Li Xiang hugged them tightly: "I missed you all too!"

What happened next is self-explanatory; the sounds of the three of them laughing and joking drifted from the bathroom, thankfully the soundproofing was excellent. After a tender moment, Li Xiang prepared to leave.

"Can't we stay a few more days?" After not seeing each other for more than a year, both Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui were extremely reluctant to part.

Li Xiang said, "I wonder how those strange beasts deep in the Earth are doing. I need to go back and check on them. I'll come back up in a few days." He gently stroked their silky hair and gave them some instructions.

Now that he is the ruler of the moon and has dispersed the black fog 200 kilometers away, he can begin to build a large-scale lunar base, such as opening up new underground cities, launching lunar orbital satellites, and building large radars on the lunar surface and in space orbit.

Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui were not unreasonable people; they helped Li Xiang get dressed and saw him off.

About ten minutes later, Li Xiang arrived in outer space and used his stealth technique to quietly infiltrate Earth.

He went deep underground to observe the battlefield.

"Thankfully, the battle is still ongoing." Li Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief after witnessing the events firsthand. He thought to himself that these beast kings were quite formidable, fighting for years without a clear winner.

In a unique dark cosmic space near the Earth's core, seven enormous beast kings are locked in a fierce battle that darkens the heavens and earth.

These beast kings were very cautious. Li Xiang observed for a long time but couldn't find an opportunity to make a move. There were also the corpses of several beast kings on the scene, but these beast kings were too huge. If he took them, it would easily alert them. Anyway, they were "buried" deep underground and couldn't escape. So Li Xiang quietly left again.

He estimated that there would be no opportunity in the short term.

Even if these kings of beasts were to determine a victor, it would still take many years for the winner to refine the Heart of Earth. Li Xiang estimated that it would take at least several decades, so there was still time.

However, it's always best to do this as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if Earth is recovered, the other eight planets in the solar system, as well as the Sun, will probably have already been merged.

Despite the immense pressure, Li Xiang remained calm and returned to City 03.

"Brother Xiang!" Jiang Cai'er's eyes instantly reddened upon seeing Li Xiang. Although she had a digital life clone at the lunar base, it was merely a virtual life form, not Jiang Cai'er's true self, so Li Xiang didn't reminisce with it. Furthermore, as a Moon Wheel God King, Li Xiang perfectly avoided all the cameras within the lunar base, and the digital life form was unaware that Li Xiang had emerged from seclusion.

Even knowing that because interstellar communication between Earth and the Moon was never repaired, destroyed during the apocalypse, and has never been rebuilt, the digital life form on the Moon and Jiang Cai'er's physical body could not communicate in real time. It was only through the Yun Whale's communication that their data was synchronized.

The Narwhale spacecraft remains on the moon and has not yet returned.

The moment Li Xiang saw Jiang Cai'er, all his worries were temporarily forgotten. He embraced her in his arms, and their brief separation felt like a new marriage.

The two spent a long time whispering sweet nothings to each other and learned about each other's progress.

Jiang Cai'er was naturally happy for Li Xiang, but the situation on Earth was getting worse.

The situation is alright domestically. With Jiang Cai'er in charge and City 03 holding a superior position, it remains relatively stable, and no city has been breached by the alien beast army.

But things are already in chaos abroad, and they're getting worse and worse.

In the past year, more than 100 dungeons around the world have been breached by hordes of alien beasts and turned into their lair.

Previously, with Li Xiang acting as a firefighter, traveling around the world to provide relief, things were relatively better. However, with Li Xiang absent during this period, Jiang Cai'er was capable of protecting herself, but was unable to effectively carry out rescue efforts.

During this period, over a hundred Xuan Niao-3 fighters were dispatched, equipped with small ion cannons, capable of killing weaker Saint-level enemies. However, the operation was halted after losing more than ten of them.

Training a Gennō-3 pilot is extremely difficult, and the aircraft itself is also very expensive.

In fact, if satellites in Earth orbit could be restored, or enough base stations could be built on the ground, Jiang Cai'er could also convert the Xuan Niao-3 into a drone, but isn't the current condition insufficient?

The Cloud Whale had provided support several times, and the first few times went smoothly. However, later on, a god-level creature appeared out of nowhere. Fortunately, the Cloud Whale's high-energy ion cannon was quite powerful, so it managed to fight and retreat, eventually escaping back.

The Cloud Whale was adequate against Saint-level enemies, but less so against God-level enemies. Fortunately, that God-level enemy wasn't of a high rank, probably having only recently broken through; otherwise, the Cloud Whale and its tens of thousands of soldiers might not have escaped unscathed.

That god-level beast led an army of hundreds of thousands to attack City 03. However, City 03 was equipped with sixteen more powerful land-based high-energy particle cannons, and was also aided by eighty or ninety saint-level beasts. The beast army led by that god-level beast was repelled several times. Knowing that it could not overcome this tough nut, it went to other places to wreak havoc.

The most recent destruction of an underground city occurred in North America. It's highly likely that the god-level being is hiding there.

"A mere god-level beast, I'll deal with it." Li Xiang got up to leave.

Jiang Cai'er was reluctant to part, but she knew what was important, so she got up, hugged Li Xiang, and said, "Be careful, come back soon, the children miss you too."

"Hmm." Li Xiang nodded, his figure vanished, and he quickly reappeared on the ground. He looked in the direction of North America, and with a leap, he arrived on the other side of the ocean in just a few dozen seconds.

Upon advancing to the God King realm, speed naturally increases again. The maximum speed of "Tai Xu Shen You · Zhou Tian Xing Gui" has increased to 400 kilometers per second. This is a natural increase due to the advancement of realm without spending achievement points.

With his current physical strength, he could actually withstand even faster speeds, but he doesn't have enough achievement points yet, so he hasn't had time to hunt down any alien beasts.

"I wonder how Yao is doing?"

Yao Yao was still in Los Santos, but Jiang Cai'er didn't mention that Los Santos had been breached. When Li Xiang passed by, he glanced at it and, with his Nine Netherworld Eyes of Truth, saw that Los Santos also had three high-energy particle cannons installed and a large army of alien beasts guarding it, which reassured him somewhat.

However, judging from the number of beasts, the army had suffered considerable losses compared to before, clearly indicating that Los Santos had also been attacked.

He had no time to meet Yao Yao for the time being, so he concealed himself and traveled freely across the North American continent. It took him quite a bit of effort to find the hiding place of that divine beast.

It turns out that the enemy's lair was not on the North American continent, but hidden in the Atlantic Ocean, on the seabed near the North American continent.

The location is roughly in the Gulf of Maine.

The nearby coastal underground cities, such as Boston, New York, and Washington, naturally did not survive.

Li Xiang stood suspended above the Atlantic ice sheet, with a silver ice field stretching for thousands of kilometers beneath his feet. Through his divine sense, he perceived a colossal creature lurking on the seabed, breathing out bone-chilling currents—a monstrous beast in the shape of a Kun, its body entirely ice-blue with frost-covered wings on its back. The jagged ice crystal thorns on its back undulated like mountains, and with each breath, the underwater currents condensed into sharp ice spikes.

A sudden, icy abyss erupted.

Suddenly, the beast opened its massive jaws, and a frost-covered breath that pierced the seabed broke through the ice and shot straight into the sky!
