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

But after a while, Luo Feifei became anxious again: "It's been so many years, does he really still remember his aunt who ranked first on the list, and does he still remember me?"

You should remember, right?

Luo Feifei was a little restless. She went to the bathroom, combed her hair in front of the mirror, tidied herself up a bit, and tidied her hair and clothes. Water-based spiritual energy washed over her face, revealing her snow-white skin that was spotless.

It has to be said that the number one beauty in the universe truly lives up to her name. Her skin is fair and delicate, and she doesn't need any makeup. Although she has aged a bit over the years, she has gone from a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen to a young woman who looks to be around twenty. Her figure is more rounded and full, but her face still looks as youthful as ever.

She took out the wooden hairpin that Li Xiang had given her before, chose a red ebony hairpin called "Fairy Feather," and styled her hair beautifully. This hairpin was carved by Li Xiang himself, and it held great significance.

……

In City 03, Li Xiang is in seclusion, cultivating his skills.

However, he didn't spend all his time cultivating. Occasionally, he would come out to move around, take out his communicator, go online, and check on the domestic and international situation. Although the domestic situation was relatively safe, there were still quite a few alien space monsters abroad.

He doesn't have time to eliminate them one by one; there are too many to kill. Besides, some of the beasts are very good at stealth and can create illusions, so it would be very time-consuming for him to do it alone.

Besides, leaving some crises is essential for human progress. As the saying goes, "Born in hardship, die in comfort."

Even within China, in certain special areas, such as the Shennongjia primeval forest, the Tianshan Mountains, the Greater Khingan Mountains, and the Shiwan Mountains, there are untamed mythical beasts that inhabit these places. Besides these extraterrestrial creatures, there are also some native Earth mutated organisms.

Needless to say, the ocean is even more dangerous. Even if humanity were to launch a counterattack and return to the surface, places like these, especially the ocean, would be impossible to eradicate.

As time goes by, some organisms that cannot adapt are eliminated, and various alien space creatures are integrated into them. A new ecological chain is forming on the dark and cold Earth.

Firstly, due to the existence of extraordinary particles, and secondly, due to the heat provided by fire-type creatures such as the Blackfire Raven and the Blazing Sky Eagle, the surface of the earth has not become desolate, but rather increasingly "vibrant with life".

In the underground city, the variety of plants and animals on the farm is also increasing. After all, during peacetime, almost all genetic samples have been collected and stored, including plant seeds, animal eggs or cubs, and microbial strains...

After solving the food crisis, some underground cities in China have even replicated underground forest systems. The underground city in Yunnan Province has even specially preserved fungi such as *Boletus luridus*, which have been widely sown in its underground forest.

Even in the apocalypse, one can't do without a delicious taste of mushrooms.

Some extraordinary individuals, in particular, have a high tolerance for this, and can eat it even if it's not fully cooked without any problems.

Inside the Xuanming starship, there are also several forests covering tens of square kilometers, which can be used by special operations teams for exploration and field training, as well as by the crew for vacations.

Staying in a closed place for a long time can be very depressing. This forest completely simulates the landscape of Earth in the past. The dome has blue sky and white clouds, and the forest also has day and night and the four seasons, as well as rain, snow, wind, clouds and fog.

"My aunt who's number one on the fan list?" Li Xiang was stunned when he saw the private message from Luo Feifei. He was immediately overjoyed.

He naturally remembered this aunt he had never met.

After the apocalypse, he searched everywhere for his aunt, who was ranked number one on the leaderboard, but couldn't find her and was very worried. He thought she was gone, but unexpectedly, he suddenly received a message from her.

This aunt must be in her fifties or sixties, right? Is she having some kind of trouble contacting me at this time?

Li Xiang immediately set off, arrived on the ground, checked his location, and in a flash, arrived in front of the villa of the top-ranked aunt in a few seconds.

Upon seeing the beautiful figure inside the room, Li Xiang could hardly believe it.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating! But the "Nine Netherworld Eyes of Delusion" told him that it was absolutely real.

"Feifei, it's you?! You're my aunt?" Li Xiang walked into the house and came to Luo Feifei.

With tears welling in her eyes, Luo Feifei's body trembled uncontrollably as she threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Holding her soft, warm body, Li Xiang took a long time to recover. He cupped Luo Feifei's fair and delicate face and kissed her forehead: "Little thing, you dare to take advantage of me? You used to make me call you 'Auntie' so many times!"

Luo Feifei immediately laughed: "Hehe, are you still going to call out? Call out a hundred more times and let me hear it!"

Li Xiang took her hand and sat her down on the sofa: "Tell me, where have you been all these years? What have you been through? And how did you come back?"

Luo Feifei nestled in his arms and recounted her bizarre experiences in detail.

"So there really are habitable planets." Li Xiang sighed. Then he started talking about things on Earth. When he mentioned "outsiders," especially Luo Feifei's cheap master Su Xuanji, Li Xiang felt apologetic.

"I'm sorry, this was supposed to be left for you to kill your enemy, but at the time I didn't know where you were or whether you could come back, so I did it for you."

"Yes, your attack is the same as mine." Luo Feifei hugged Li Xiang tightly and said, "This time I'm back, I never want to be separated from you again, let's become one!"

"Huh?" Li Xiang was stunned. Was it really that direct and bold?

Little did she know, Luo Feifei had faced death countless times, and each time she felt a deep sense of regret when she sensed impending doom. She didn't want to truly leave behind any regrets.

Driven by their emotions, the two began to unite their bodies and minds.

During their dual cultivation, under Luo Feifei's coaxing, Li Xiang called her "Auntie" many times, making Luo Feifei overjoyed.

Three days and three nights later, Luo Feifei returned to City 03, met her mother, stayed with her for a few days, and then left again.

Her mother was naturally very reluctant to let her go, but she also knew that although the earth seemed safe now, it was still full of crises, and her daughter was destined to save the world. So, instead of stopping her, she encouraged her.

Luo Feifei also didn't want to live in City 03. Her mother was an ordinary person, and living in such an advanced underground city was very suitable for her, but she preferred to live in her old house.

Although the surface was cold and covered in snow, it was far more comfortable for a peak-level transcendent being of the Water-based Ice Elemental rank than the underground city.

In addition, City 03 is full of cameras and surveillance. Although she can avoid the cameras, it is still inconvenient.

Li Xiang and Luo Feifei practiced dual cultivation and both benefited greatly. For example, Li Xiang's icy sword energy became sharper and more incisive, and he also gained some understanding of Luo Feifei's "sharpness" and "armor-piercing" abilities.

Luo Feifei's strength has also increased greatly, and her spiritual power has become more and more profound. However, she is still stuck at the peak of the God Rank because she must "merge" with a small asteroid in order to step into the God King Rank.

“Feifei, come on, I’ll take you to space and we’ll seize an asteroid,” Li Xiang suggested.

Luo Feifei was naturally excited. Her own man was taking her on a space adventure and helping her improve her spiritual level. Could there be anything more exciting and romantic than this? It was as if he was going to "pluck" a star for her.

This is something that even Jiang Cai'er never experienced.

Jiang Cai'er has not yet reached the God Rank and does not yet meet the conditions to reach the Moon Wheel God King Realm.

The two set off immediately. Li Xiang took her hand, and with a swift movement, they flew towards the asteroid belt at a speed of 600 kilometers per second.

He had done a lot of research, and his goal for this trip was Ceres, one of the five famous dwarf planets in the solar system.

This dwarf planet is about 4.13 million kilometers (2.8 AU) away from Earth. Of course, since celestial bodies are in motion, it is sometimes closer and sometimes farther away. At its closest, it is about 2.63 million kilometers (1.8 AU) away, and at its farthest, it is about 5.63 million kilometers (3.8 AU). The exact value depends on the orbital positions of the two planets.

At Li Xiang's speed, plus the time for searching and resting along the way, he should arrive in about a week at most.

Actually, there are some asteroids, such as Hygieia and Phobos, that are closer, but they are all too small. Hygieia is only 300 kilometers in diameter, Phobos is only 22.2 kilometers in diameter, and Deimos is even smaller, at only 7.3 kilometers.

For asteroids or satellites that are too small, their strength upon reaching the God-King realm is not particularly impressive.

Ceres has a diameter of 945 kilometers, which is smaller than the Moon, but it is the closest and most suitable dwarf planet that can be found.

Luo Feifei had already ventured into space, and even to distant star systems, fighting her way back, but she had always been alone on both the journeys. Now, however, with her lover by her side, holding her as they flew, her feelings were entirely different.

The two flew through the universe, sometimes even cultivating together while flying; the mysteries of this were beyond the understanding of outsiders.

About six days later, Li Xiang and Luo Feifei arrived in the asteroid belt and landed on the largest planet in it.

This planet is Ceres.

Ceres is the smallest dwarf planet in the solar system and the only dwarf planet located in the asteroid belt. Its mass accounts for about one-third of the asteroid belt. Under the Nine Netherworld Eyes, it is clear at a glance and there is no mistake.

"There's water on this planet!" Li Xiang and Luo Feifei were pleasantly surprised to find that the surface of this dwarf planet was covered with a large amount of water ice and hydrate minerals, and there was liquid water inside, like a small ocean.

Lofifi is a water-based ice-type superhuman, and the planet's properties are perfectly suited to her. Ceres' surface has many craters and cracks, making it look quite similar to the moon. It is mainly composed of rock and ice, with some crystal-clear pieces, which are probably salts or ice crystals.

This planet also has an atmosphere, but it is very thin and mainly composed of nitrogen, with small amounts of methane and other compounds mixed in.

However, the presence or absence of an atmosphere is unimportant to Li Xiang and Luo Feifei. Their bodies have their own internal circulation, creating their own little world, and they have long since moved beyond the stage where they need to breathe oxygen from the outside.

"Chichi~"

A hideous beast with two heads, eighteen legs, and a pale white body, resembling a giant spider, spotted them and pounced on them.

Without Luo Feifei's intervention, Li Xiang's Star Ball transformed into a streak of light and crashed into the spider-like beast with a weight of one million tons and a speed of Mach 20, instantly turning it into a bloody mess.

The system reward quietly arrived in his account, which was just a level 16 small exotic beast. Li Xiang didn't care about such a small reward, and he was too lazy to even check his warehouse.

Now, Li Xiang's standards have risen; for rewards below the God rank, he has set up a feature to prevent pop-up notifications.

Those alien space beasts seemed fearless. One was easily killed by Li Xiang, and hundreds more appeared in the distance. Each one was huge and charged towards them like a thousand horses charging.

Li Xiang and Luo Feifei then showed off their skills, competing to see who could kill more and faster, treating it as a warm-up.

Soon, the corpses of strange beasts littered the ground. Among them were seven Saint-level beasts.

"Let's go, let's go inside Ceres." Li Xiang used his earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical ability) to lead Luo Feifei there.

With her peak god-level strength, Luo Feifei could actually go deep underground, but she was just not as fast as Li Xiang.

"There really is an underground ocean?"

But Ceres is only about 900 kilometers in diameter, and this underground ocean is only about 100 kilometers wide. Soon, the two of them crossed it.

They entered a unique dark cosmic space near the core of Ceres, where, as expected, a powerful divine beast was devouring the "Heart of Ceres".

At the scene, there were also the corpses of several divine-level beasts, and the victor had begun to merge with the will of this planet.

However, it is far from complete. Li Xiang glanced at it and, with his rich experience, roughly estimated that the "progress bar" of this alien beast's fusion with Ceres was only about 40%.

"Attack!" Li Xiang and Luo Feifei exchanged a glance, perfectly in sync, and launched their attack simultaneously. Even if the fusion was complete, with his Moon Wheel God King realm strength, he could forcefully kill her and snatch her away.

It's a pity that this divine-level beast, which was quite powerful, had gone through many hardships and defeated many competitors to finally occupy Ceres. Little did it know that Li Xiang and Luo Feifei would come knocking on its door and steal its prize.

In less than thirty rounds, this level 38 divine beast met its untimely end.

This strange beast was also very large, but smaller than the divine-level beasts on the moon and Earth, with a height of only 80 or 90 kilometers. Its shape was similar to the giant, ugly spider monster with two heads and eighteen legs that had been seen on the ground before, and it was called the "Two-Headed Frost Spider".

System: "Congratulations, host, for killing the 3.8th-tier mutated creature 'Twin-Headed Frost Spider'. Rewards include 380 million achievement points, three 38th-tier mutated spiritual herbs 'Godfall Frost Crystal Fruit', and one 36th-tier divine-grade extraordinary item 'Frost Blossom Sky-Splitting Thorn'."

Li Xiang glanced at the "White Tiger Sword" that Luo Feifei was still using, and immediately took out these spoils of war and gave them to Luo Feifei.

Both the Frost Crystal Fruit and the Frost Blossom Sky-Splitting Thorn are actually very suitable for Luo Feifei.

They made the right choice coming to this planet.

Not only are the planet's attributes suitable, but even the loot "dropped" by the defeated divine beasts is suitable.

Having already cultivated with Li Xiang, and with her body completely his, Luo Feifei naturally didn't stand on ceremony with him and immediately and happily changed her equipment.

She tried out her newly acquired "Frostbloom Sky-Splitting Thorn" and felt that it suited her perfectly. This divine weapon was also a long and narrow rapier, even longer and thinner than the White Tiger Sword, but of a much higher quality.

She possesses several extraordinary attributes, such as "Luck," "Critical Hit," and "Space Rift." In particular, "Space Rift" has a chance to create spatial rifts, which, when combined with her spacetime anchor ability, amplifies her power and offers numerous uses.

With divine weapons, divine armor was naturally indispensable. Li Xiang picked through the interdimensional warehouse and chose a Xuan Yuan Frost Soul Armor to give to Luo Feifei.

This divine armor, with a grade of 35, was a reward "dropped" by one of the divine-level beasts that was killed during a sneak attack on the moon.

In fact, he didn't have many extraordinary items at the god level. He had kept this one because it contained frost properties, intending to give it to Luo Feifei one day.

I thought I'd missed my chance, but to my surprise, Luo Feifei actually came back!
"Brother Xiang, it's so good to have you!" Luo Feifei was so moved that she almost cried. The main reason was that before, she was alone in a distant star field, relying entirely on her own efforts to fight and support herself. Now that she's back, she immediately enjoys the treatment of a princess, being loved and pampered by everyone.

“I have some experience to share with you,” Li Xiang said, pulling her into his arms. He was now a God-King, and had previously experienced merging with the Heart of the Moon. Now, he was cultivating with Luo Feifei again, imparting his valuable experience and insights to her in a unique way.

The teachings given during dual cultivation will leave a deeper impression and lead to a more profound understanding.

With Li Xiang's help, Luo Feifei was as if divinely inspired. In addition, she was already a quasi-god king with extraordinary talent. It only took her ten days to resonate with Ceres.

This planet is much smaller than the moon, so it will take less time to merge.

Even with Li Xiang's support, Luo Feifei estimates it will take at least a year and a half to succeed.

"Why don't you go back first? I'll stay here alone. I'll come back to find you after I succeed," Luo Feifei said. She knew that Li Xiang was the strongest fighter on Earth, and if he was away for too long, there might be unpredictable consequences if something happened on Earth and support couldn't be provided in time.

"Let me protect you. How can I leave you here alone?" Li Xiang said worriedly.

“I have resonated with Ceres. I dare not say anything else, but my early warning ability is first-class. Moreover, I have a special trick up my sleeve!” Luo Feifei said with a lot of confidence.

"What secret technique?" The two had endless things to say and had practiced dual cultivation many times when they met before, but there were still many things they hadn't had time to share.

A flash of inspiration appeared between Luo Feifei's brows. She brought up the star map in the "Time-Space Anchor" and manifested it in front of her.

She circled an area on it with her slender hand, pulled it to both sides, and the star map magnified. Li Xiang's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "Is this the solar system?"

“Yes.” Luo Feifei zoomed in on the star map again, pointing to one of the blue stars and saying, “This is Earth. I have Earth’s coordinates.”

"And then?" Li Xiang asked.

Luo Feifei took out the Frostflower Sky-Splitting Dagger and gently slashed it, and a spatial rift appeared before her eyes. The spacetime anchor between her brows quickly emitted spiritual light, enveloping the spatial rift.

The spatial rift was originally flickering, but with the "spacetime anchor" locking it in, it immediately became stable.

"Brother, I'll send you back to Earth." Luo Feifei raised her chin proudly, saying with a hint of arrogance.

"Wow, you can do that?" Li Xiang's gaze towards Luo Feifei became even more intense. She was truly a treasure.

Luo Feifei took his hand and led him through the spatial rift, appearing at the summit of Mount Tai.

"I've also recorded Ceres' coordinates on the star map. Now you can rest assured, right?" Luo Feifei hugged him, reluctant to part. They had only just met, and now they had to separate again.

Li Xiang was reluctant to part with her, so he stroked her silky hair and said, "Since it's so convenient, I'll stay with you there for a few more days."

The two then passed through the spatial rift and returned to Ceres.

These temporary spatial rifts, though stable with time-space anchors, cannot exist for long; they disappear in just three to five minutes. However, three to five minutes is enough for them to travel back and forth.

Three days later, Luo Feifei created another spatial rift. This time, she didn't accompany Li Xiang but watched him leave. She was afraid that if she went with him, she would be reluctant to leave and would have to pull him back.

"Talk to my mom and tell her not to worry too much," Luo Feifei instructed.

"Don't worry. I'm taking good care of your mother."

"remember to miss me."

Upon seeing Li Xiang safely arrive at the summit of Mount Tai, Luo Feifei manipulated the spacetime anchor to close the rift and began to wholeheartedly merge with the "Heart of Ceres".
