Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 167 Days on Earth, An Uninvited Guest

Zhou Yang's return brought a lively atmosphere to the once quiet house.

Although she had already reached the realm master level and no longer needed to eat ordinary food, Wang Shumei still insisted on preparing a large table of her signature dishes.

Zhou Yong even brought out some fine wines that he had treasured since the "ancient times" of Earth.

The name of this wine is quite pleasant; it is called "Jinshiyuan," a historical wine from the Yangzhou area before the Great Nirvana of Earth. It is said that it was once praised by a great poet from ancient China.

"Come on, Qingmeng, try this dish. It was Yangyang's favorite when he was little."

"Girl, try some of your uncle's treasured wine. I'm not bragging, but this kind of wine is almost extinct these days. I guess I'm the only one who can still keep a few bottles. Yangyang, what are you standing there for? Pour the wine!"

Wang Shumei and Zhou Yong, a married couple, were so busy serving food and pouring wine that they were overly enthusiastic towards the Prince Yu Meng, while their long-unseen son was left out in the cold.

To Zhou Yang's surprise, the Dream King, whom he remembered as a valiant female war goddess, did not show the slightest arrogance or displeasure.

At this moment, she truly resembled an ordinary Earth woman visiting a friend's home, her speech and manners both generous and appropriate.

Warm greetings of "Uncle" and "Auntie" kept escaping from her rosy little mouth, making Wang Shumei and Zhou Yong laugh repeatedly.

If Zhou Yang hadn't repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her soul aura, he would have thought she had been possessed.

However, this made it impossible to ask some of the questions I originally wanted to ask.

The lively gathering lasted for quite some time before King Yu Meng finally got up to take his leave after Zhou Yang repeatedly gestured to him with his eyes.

Despite Wang Shumei's repeated attempts to persuade her to stay, she stuffed a large red envelope into her hand.

"Qingmeng, take this, it's our local custom!"

Zhou Yang's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he witnessed this.

Moments later, on a golden beach near the sea in Jiangnan Base City, Zhou Yang and Yu Mengwang appeared simultaneously by teleportation.

Yu Mengwang took a few steps forward, then kicked off his shoes, revealing his bare, tender white feet on the wet sand.

The surging tide would approach from time to time, receding just as it reached her toes.

"Your planet may not be very big, but both its scenery and culture are very attractive."

Yu Mengwang opened his arms as if embracing the sea breeze, his dark hair swaying gently behind him.

Both people and the sea are like that, tranquil and serene.

"Hey, I say, King Yumeng, can you talk now? You, a powerful immortal at the peak of the King-level, why aren't you cultivating properly? Why are you here on Earth experiencing the life of an ordinary person?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but ask.

"First!"

The King of Dreams turned around and extended a slender, pale finger.

"I'm not called 'Hey,' nor am I called 'Dream King.' Please call me by my Earth name, 'Li Qingmeng'!"

"Secondly, I am not at the peak of the King-Sealing stage, nor have I neglected my cultivation. In fact, I have made further progress in the Law of Spacetime, reaching the limit of the King-Sealing stage!"

"Thirdly, I'm not here to experience the life of an ordinary person. Hmph, I'm now the special envoy of the Giant Axe Arena stationed on Earth, specifically to monitor all immigration activities. This is an official position!"

After saying that, she raised her delicate head high, looking quite smug.

"."

At this moment, Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh. This Dream King claimed he wasn't experiencing mortal life, yet he'd uttered such classic lines—how incredibly bored must he be?

However, hearing that the King of Dreams had come here on a mission put his mind at ease.

A peak-level King, or rather, a near-peak King, could easily inflict an annihilation-like blow on the native inhabitants of Earth if they harbored ill intentions.

This is why Zhou Yang went straight to her as soon as he discovered she was on Earth.

The Earth is still too fragile and cannot withstand any blows.

However, it won't be long. With the large amount of resources I brought back this time, the development of humankind on Earth will definitely enter a period of explosive growth.

Perhaps in just tens of thousands of years, a group of immortal gods will emerge from among the human population on Earth.

The strength of a group cannot be judged by just one or two top fighters.

After all, even the strongest experts are at risk of falling.

Only when there are a continuous stream of immortal gods among the humans on Earth, as well as a large number of world lords, domain lords, and universe lords, and with Zhou Yang, Luo Feng, and a few others as top combatants, can the human race on Earth barely be considered a relatively good middle race in the universe!

Humanity's journey on Earth is still very long.

News of Zhou Yang's return to Earth spread quickly.

For the next period of time, the villas in Mingyue Community became unusually lively.

Some familiar relatives and friends, as well as some high-ranking officials from Starry Sky Martial Arts School, Huaxia Starlight Universe Company, and even some of the original five major human forces on Earth, all came to visit.

In this life, due to his intervention, the profits from selling half of the Earth's ownership were much higher. He received his first huge sum of 200 billion Chaos Units when he was at the World Lord level.

A large portion of this was invested in the development of the Earth, which actually made the Earth develop faster than in the original story.

Zhou Yang brought back a large amount of precious resources for Earth this time, which he distributed during this opportunity.

Needless to say, his own parents were directly pushed to the immortal level by consuming a large amount of precious resources.

Others, such as several friends from his original hunting team, Uncle Lei, Uncle Liu, Brother Chen, Sister Xia's younger brother, his training camp teacher Dong Dao, Wu Tong, Zhuge Tao and others who had taken care of him, and Wei Wen, a classmate he had a good relationship with in high school, all presented him with a special gift.

As for the rest, they were all handed over to Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy and Huaxia Starlight Universe Company for management and distribution.

The current Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy is presided over by Jia Yi, the former strongest member of the Chinese military who has now broken through to become a Realm Lord, with the assistance of several Realm Lords from the Chinese faction.

These are all heroes who have protected the Chinese people since the Great Nirvana period. Their strength and character are both excellent, and Zhou Yang can rest assured that he can entrust them with his affairs.

Huaxia Xingguang Universe Company was handed over to Luo Feng's lover Xu Xin and his younger brother Luo Hua for control.

One of them is a business elite highly valued even by the business department of the Virtual Universe Company, and the other is a rare investment genius.

Under their leadership, Huaxia Xingguang has become a large-scale business company spanning several cosmic countries, earning a large amount of money for the development of the human race on Earth.

After all these things were arranged, Zhou Yang finally relaxed completely.

The entity currently located at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company is quietly cultivating itself, waiting for its inner world to grow to its limit. This process is expected to take hundreds of years.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yang's clone stayed by Zhou Yong and Wang Shumei's side, helping them tend to their flowers, visit friends, and occasionally hide their tracks to travel to nearby human planets, living a rather leisurely life.

However, that Prince Yu Meng somehow became quite familiar with Wang Shumei, visiting her home every few days and calling her "Auntie" so affectionately.

In Zhou Yang's mind, the image of the Dream King was constantly fragmenting. It seemed as if the Dream King had broken some kind of seal after removing his armor.

Life on Earth was peaceful yet warm, allowing Zhou Yang to experience a rare period of relaxation.

However, on this day, an uninvited guest quietly arrived at the villa in Mingyue Community.
