527: Zhai Lin? Just a quick kill of garbage (110,000 words, please subscribe to monthly tickets)

“Let's not talk about those things. It’s good that you’re back, it’s really good that you’re back!”

The White Fatty Old Man turned his head slightly, wiped the corner of his eye, then turned back with a smile, patted Lin Yang on the body, his eyes filled with endless joy.

“Master…”

Lin Yang looked at the White Fatty Old Man, whose eyes were also red. He had many things he wanted to say, but at this moment, only mutual silence remained.

He knew that in these hundred years, his Master must have been extremely worried about him.

He also wanted to say some words of gratitude, thanking the White Fatty Old Man for diligently protecting Blue Star during this century.

He wanted to say so many things that for a moment, he didn't know what to say first.

“Silly child, between us, Master and disciple, there’s no need for many words. It’s enough that you’ve returned safely!”

The White Fatty Old Man sensed Lin Yang’s emotions and said softly.

“Master, thank you. You’ve gone through so much trouble these past hundred years…” Lin Yang opened his mouth, wanting to express his gratitude.

But the White Fatty Old Man gently waved his hand, interrupting him, and said with a smile: “Silly disciple, I am your Master. It’s only natural for me to do things for you. Don’t say such polite words, it makes us seem distant!”

“Master, I…”

For a moment, Lin Yang’s throat choked up.

In this world, what is truly “natural”?

The White Fatty Old Man had done too much for him.

Ever since he became his disciple, it could be said that almost everything had been the White Fatty Old Man’s sacrifice for him.

This made him feel quite guilty at this moment.

The White Fatty Old Man had been too good to him, yet he hadn’t had a chance to repay him.

Seeing Lin Yang’s expression, the White Fatty Old Man again understood his thoughts and immediately smiled with relief: “My dear disciple, don’t overthink it. I am your Master. If I’m not good to you, am I supposed to be good to others?”

He paused slightly, then took the initiative to say:

“Now that you’ve returned, it’s time to see your mother and the others. They, too, have been waiting for you for over a hundred years.”

Although he was also curious about what Lin Yang had experienced during these hundred years, he knew even more clearly that Lin Yang must now be very eager to see his family.

Therefore, he didn't wait for Lin Yang to ask, but brought it up himself first.

As for the experiences of the past hundred years, Lin Yang could slowly recount them after he had seen his other relatives.

Since he was back, there would be plenty of time!

These words made Lin Yang’s expression tighten, and he asked anxiously:

“Master, where are my mother and the others now?”

What he really wanted to ask was if they were still alive.

But he didn’t dare to ask so directly, fearing he might hear news that would be unbearable.

“Haha, my good disciple, don’t worry, your mother and the others are doing very well.”

The White Fatty Old Man laughed heartily and quickly explained to Lin Yang:

“When you were forced to leave, your mother and other relatives and friends on Blue Star waited for you for decades, and they gradually grew old. Unfortunately, we didn't have any other Life Spiritualists, so we could only arrange for them all to enter hibernation.”

“Hibernation is lonely, but for the sake of seeing you again, they all basically agreed to hibernate. So, don’t worry, they are all still alive, just a bit older than you remember.”

Lin Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, muttering: “That’s good, that’s good, as long as they’re still alive, that’s good!”

As long as they were still alive, everything was still possible!

Then, he asked softly: “Where are my mother and their hibernation pods?”

“They are in an underground area in the Imperial Capital, a specially constructed hibernation zone.”

The White Fatty Old Man said:

“Initially, we wanted to take them to the Alliance for hibernation, but your mother and the others’ bodies were not suitable for interstellar travel. They also worried that if any accident occurred during hibernation, they would want to return to their roots and be buried in their homeland. So, we simply transported the hibernation pods here and built a hibernation zone in the Imperial Capital.”

“Furthermore, the area of Blue Star isn’t large, and with my personal protection, it’s actually safer than being in the Alliance. The Alliance has too many people and is prone to saboteurs. On Blue Star, there’s no need to worry.”

“It’s safe to say that no one could secretly infiltrate under my protection.”

At this point, the White Fatty Old Man seemed to remember something else, and a hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face:

“Ahem, of course, it’s not absolute. For example, your friends here did get in…”

Hearing this, Kong Shan Yu and the others couldn't help but smile: “Your Excellency Zhu Cang, it’s actually very difficult for us to infiltrate without disrupting your folding method. Even I couldn’t completely bypass the folding without a sound. The reason we could do so was actually because Your Excellency Lin Yang brought us in.”

“Ah?” The White Fatty Old Man was surprised: “It wasn’t Your Excellency Kong Shan Yu’s method?”

In his opinion, Kong Shan Yu, like him, possessed space characteristics and was an Old Ancestor level expert. He thought Kong Shan Yu’s method must have been used to enter this time.

But now Kong Shan Yu said it wasn’t him, but rather his dear disciple’s method, which made the White Fatty Old Man somewhat incredulous.

“Haha, Your Excellency Zhu Cang, you still don’t know, but Your Excellency Lin Yang’s current strength is very formidable!”

Kong Shan Yu smiled again:

“At least, in terms of space characteristics, his current methods are stronger than mine. Even I can’t fully comprehend them.”

He wasn't deliberately flattering Lin Yang; it was simply the truth.

To be able to cross the Unknown Space in a single step, from this point alone, he could already conclude that Lin Yang’s methods in the Space Dao had somewhat surpassed his own.

And earlier, when Lin Yang brought them into the Blue Star region, he had directly bypassed the folding.

But Kong Shan Yu noticed that Lin Yang later subtly stomped his foot, deliberately sending out some spatial fluctuations.

Clearly, he was intentionally notifying the White Fatty Old Man.

Otherwise, Lin Yang was fully capable of entering Blue Star directly without alarming the White Fatty Old Man.

This method in the Space Dao indeed made Kong Shan Yu feel inferior.

At this, the White Fatty Old Man was completely shocked, turning to look at Lin Yang: “My… my dear disciple, what Your Excellency Kong Shan Yu said… is it true?”

“Master, I brought them into Blue Star, but the specific situation is quite complex. I’ll explain it to you in detail later.”

Lin Yang nodded in admission, but didn’t say too much immediately.

Because the situation was indeed a bit complex.

He was able to achieve this level entirely thanks to the “Realm”!

He had leveraged the power of the “Realm.”

The Realm, after absorbing the power of that strange Stone Statue, seemed to have been fully charged.

At the moment of completion, he perceived some very peculiar information.

The Realm possessed incredible spatial abilities.

It was a domain that he still couldn't comprehend or step into.

However, although he couldn’t understand it, he could, through the “Realm,” project its power outwards.

Wherever the Realm’s power could reach, he could also instantly arrive with the help of the “Realm’s power.”

And the power of the “Realm” could spread to every corner of the entire Ten Thousand Universes in an instant!

So, he had previously taken everyone across the Unknown Space in one step.

As for bypassing the folding.

It was because the “Realm’s” spatial power seemed to be able to ignore any spatial method of a power level lower than the “Realm.”

This was also the most unbelievable aspect to Lin Yang.

This was too abnormal.

But he couldn’t actually fully control the “Realm” yet.

Although the Realm was in his soul, he still couldn’t fully activate its power.

Or rather, he seemed not yet qualified for the “Realm” to completely become one with him.

It was a very mysterious feeling.

He could borrow the “Realm’s” power, and even use the “Realm” to comprehend the Space Dao.

But he just lacked some feeling of being the “master.”

He felt that his own strength was not yet sufficient to fully integrate with the “Realm.”

So, for a time, he didn’t know how to explain it to the White Fatty Old Man and Kong Shan Yu.

Because the existence of the Realm could not be easily exposed, otherwise it was hard to imagine what terrifying enemies it might attract.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the White Fatty Old Man and Kong Shan Yu.

Rather, he worried that revealing the existence of the “Realm” would bring disaster upon them as well.

This thing was too mysterious and its level too high. Even though it was in his soul, he still couldn't fully control it, so Lin Yang believed he had to be more cautious.

Otherwise, those terrifying beings coveting the “Realm” might very well silence everyone who knew of its existence to ensure the news of the “Realm” didn’t leak out.

This was the main reason he hadn’t directly told the White Fatty Old Man and others.

The Realm was at least an item above the Old Ancestor level, but neither the White Fatty Old Man nor Kong Shan Yu and the others were anywhere near that level. Telling them would only add to their worries.

Lin Yang was considering how to explain it better.

And seeing his demeanor, the White Fatty Old Man immediately understood something and said with a smile:

“My dear disciple, if it’s inconvenient to say, then don’t say it. No matter the reason, as long as you, my dear disciple, are safe, that’s the best! As for the rest, be it power or methods, they are all your own Dao, and there’s no need to explain too much to us.”

He knew that his dear disciple had some secrets that were inconvenient to speak of, so he proactively told Lin Yang not to say more about it.

Kong Shan Yu and the others immediately echoed: “Your Excellency Zhu Cang’s words are reasonable. Your Excellency Lin Yang, there’s no need to explain further to us. In any case, the more formidable you are, the happier we are for you!”

Lin Yang felt a warmth in his heart: “Thank you, Master, and all of you for your understanding.”

“Haha, it’s a small matter, my good disciple. Now, go see your mother and the others. Their hibernation can be awakened at any time,” the White Fatty Old Man said with a laugh.

“Okay, please lead the way, Master.” Lin Yang showed anticipation.

“Follow me, your Master.” The White Fatty Old Man smiled and beckoned, his figure flashing towards the Imperial Capital and disappearing.

Just as Lin Yang and the others headed towards the Imperial Capital.

The short videos on the internet began to go viral.

The news of “Ancestor Lin Yang suspected to have returned to Blue Star after a hundred years” topped the headlines of major social media platforms, becoming an explosive topic.

Although the soldiers in the residential area had made the tourists present sign non-disclosure agreements.

But the people who first posted the short videos were too quick, so the videos quickly circulated widely online.

Of course, it wasn’t impossible to completely prohibit them.

However, the higher-ups had no intention of prohibiting them.

Because the Imperial Capital had already received confirmed news that it was indeed Lin Yang who had returned!

After confirmation, there was naturally no need to prohibit it anymore!

Lin Yang’s return was a joyous occasion for all of Shang Xia!

Official propaganda couldn’t even keep up!

A highly popular ancestor returned from the depths of the universe after a hundred years, his appearance unchanged!

This was the pride and glory of the nation!

Overnight, the news of Lin Yang’s return became the hottest topic on Blue Star.

During these hundred years, official propaganda about Lin Yang had almost mythologized him.

Now, the myth had appeared!

Naturally, it made people excited.

People were eagerly anticipating Lin Yang’s first official public appearance.

He Manor.

A middle-aged man, over sixty years old, looked at the news and was instantly moved to tears, then made a phone call:

“Quick, notify all the juniors in the family to immediately head to the Imperial Capital, prepare to welcome Grandpa, and also, pay respects to Ancestor Lin Yang!!”

In an instant, the He Group, which was currently the worldwide behemoth, was shaken!

And this person was He Duo, the current helmsman of the He Group!

The “Grandpa” he referred to was He Ming!

Yes, that’s right.

A hundred years had passed, and He Ming’s grandson was already entering middle age.

Of course, this was also because Blue Star’s technology had later improved, and people’s average lifespan had been extended, so the age of marriage and childbirth was correspondingly delayed by quite a bit.

So, for now, He Duo was only He Ming’s third-generation descendant.

Otherwise, if it were according to previous lifespans, then the current helmsman of the He family would at least be He Ming’s fourth or even fifth generation.

Imperial Capital.

When Lin Yang received the message from the He family descendants, conveyed through official channels, requesting to pay respects to him, he also felt a surge of emotion, and then chose to wait there for a bit.

Anyway, Blue Star now had spaceships, so it wouldn’t take more than a few minutes to arrive from Yangnan.

Then, upon seeing He Duo, who arrived swiftly by spaceship, this surge of emotion reached its peak.

“He family, He Duo, pays respects to Ancestor Lin Yang!”

As soon as He Duo disembarked from the spaceship, he immediately performed a grand junior's bow to Lin Yang!

At this moment, He Duo showed no trace of the dignity of a worldwide corporate helmsman, but rather the respectful demeanor of a junior.

The group of He family juniors behind him also respectfully performed a kneeling bow.

This startled everyone present.

There were probably fewer than a handful of people worldwide who could command such a kneeling bow from the helmsman of a colossal corporation and all the juniors of the entire He family.

However, everyone on Blue Star knew the relationship between the He family and Lin Yang, so they quickly understood He Duo’s actions.

It could be said that without Lin Yang, there would be no current prosperity for the He family.

It was entirely appropriate for the He family members to prostrate themselves before Lin Yang with such a grand gesture.

And even more people were envious.

After all, not everyone had the qualifications to prostrate themselves before Lin Yang with such reverence.

Lin Yang was also stunned by this scene.

What did this guy call him?

Old Ancestor?!

"You are... He Ming's grandson?"

Lin Yang told He Duo to get up, looking at the eyebrows and face that indeed bore some resemblance to He Fatty, his heart filled with endless emotion.

Good heavens, He Fatty's grandson is already this old... At this moment, he felt even more deeply the cruelty of the saying, 'time is a butcher's knife'.

A hundred years is enough for at least three generations to pass.

"Replying to Lin Yang Old Ancestor, this junior is indeed the direct grandson of Grandpa He Ming!"

He Duo was extremely excited, acting like a child in front of Lin Yang.

As a member of the He family, he was even more aware of the extraordinary nature of the person before him!

Returning after a hundred years of traversing the Ten Thousand Universes, his appearance was unchanged, just as Grandpa had said!

Lin Yang Old Ancestor is truly a celestial being!

Lin Yang, however, felt a bit uncomfortable. He Duo looked older than himself, yet he kept calling him 'Old Ancestor' which made him feel rather amused and helpless.

"He Duo, why did you call me 'Old Ancestor' as soon as you saw me? I'm not an Old Ancestor of your He family," Lin Yang inquired.

"Replying to you, my grandfather, your close friend He Ming, once established a family rule: if any descendant of my He family is fortunate enough to see you again one day, they must treat you with the respect due to an Old Ancestor. Any violator will be expelled from the family!"

He Duo explained respectfully.

Lin Yang immediately understood.

He Fatty probably suffered a lot from his mother's nagging back then.

He probably thought Lin Yang hadn't married and had no descendants, fearing that Lin Yang would be lonely and desolate upon his return, and thus forced some descendants upon him!

He understood He Ming too well.

That kid wasn't the type to use such a stiff method to force Lin Yang into taking care of the He family's descendants, just to better look after them.

This rule was definitely because his mother, unable to contact him for many years, often complained in front of He Fatty about him having no children and her having no grandchildren, which led He Fatty to establish this rule.

He could even imagine He Fatty's expression after hearing such words, confidently telling his mother, "Auntie, don't worry, my He Ming's children will be Brother Yang's children!"

Most likely, after He Fatty said that, he went home and immediately set this family rule to provide his mother with some comfort.

Thinking this, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile, then said to He Duo, "Fatty was thoughtful. You all wait here for a moment, I'll go wake them up."

"Understood, Old Ancestor!" He Duo bowed and remained on the ground of the hibernation zone, waiting.

In the past, he could go underground and look at He Ming and the others through the hibernation pods.

But now, Lin Yang casually told him to wait here, and he obediently waited on the ground.

After Lin Yang went underground.

The younger descendants of the He family slowly raised their heads, their eyes filled with shock:

"Lin Yang Old Ancestor must be at least over a hundred years old this year, yet his appearance is the same as it was back then. It's truly miraculous!"

"I wonder if we can also possess such a technique for eternal youth!"

"Lin Yang Old Ancestor and our great-grandfather have such a good relationship. If great-grandfather were to ask, perhaps he would pass it on to us?"

Especially two beautiful girls, who turned to He Duo and coquettishly said, "Uncle, later, can you please ask..."

However, before they could finish their sentence, He Duo's aura instantly changed. He coldly stared at the two girls and snorted,

"Lin Yang Old Ancestor has already helped our He family enough. If not for Lin Yang Old Ancestor, our He family wouldn't be where it is today. As for any technique for eternal youth, if Lin Yang Old Ancestor doesn't pass it on, no one is allowed to mention it!"

"If anyone dares to ask Lin Yang Old Ancestor for anything, get out of the family!"

"Uncle... isn't it just a technique for eternal youth? Why are you so strict?"

The two girls immediately said, displeased.

Normally, He Duo doted on them the most.

Because He Duo had no daughters, he treated them like his own.

But now, He Duo's public reprimand made them feel a loss of face.

A man in his twenties or thirties also chimed in, "Exactly, Father, we've contributed a lot to the country over the years, why do you have to..."

Slap!

Before the man could finish speaking, He Duo slapped him across the face, emanating an imposing aura without anger, and said coldly,

"I knew that with our He family's dominance for so many years, it was inevitable to raise some arrogant people, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

"You're used to getting whatever you want, and now you dare to extend your hand to Lin Yang Old Ancestor?"

"Hmph, don't think that just because you are my son and relatives, I will be soft-hearted and sympathetic!"

"From now on, the three of you are removed from the ancestral registry and expelled from the core area of the He clan!"

"Now, get out!"

At these words, the three were stunned. The man said in disbelief, "Father, I'm your biological son!"

"Get out!"

He Duo, however, was merciless, directly ordering people to forcibly escort the three away.

"Sympathy? The family has branched out for many years. Even if I feel sympathy, I will never tolerate a few greedy individuals destroying the family's foundation!"

He Duo's eyes were cold.

He had many children, and he wouldn't miss one who was unworthy.

As for the two girls, let alone not being his biological daughters, even if they were, he would still uphold righteousness over family!

A company, especially a family business, that has been dominant for a long time will inevitably have family members who become arrogant.

This is unavoidable.

Because this is human nature!

Even with various educations from a young age in the He family, it's impossible to completely prevent such people from appearing!

So He Duo had been taking precautions early on, ready to abandon anyone at any time.

Rather than displeasing Lin Yang and making him think the He family was insatiably greedy, it was better for him to act first and earn some goodwill!

After all, in the end, they were not Lin Yang's direct relatives or descendants.

Let alone being descendants of friends separated by several generations, even his own blood descendants, after several generations, might not have much affection left.

Now, Lin Yang was looking after the He family for the sake of his grandfather He Ming, but goodwill would eventually run out!

Especially since the power gap between them and Lin Yang was too vast; they would almost always be the ones being helped.

He was already meticulously maintaining that bit of goodwill, so how could he exhaust Lin Yang's slight goodwill for the sake of a few unworthy descendants?

At this moment, He Duo also made everyone around him truly witness the decisive leadership of the contemporary helmsman of the giant corporation.

Among the He family descendants, silence instantly fell.

No one dared to speak casually anymore.

And this was just a small interlude.

Lin Yang didn't pay much attention to the situation on the ground, merely sensing some of it and observing briefly.

He didn't dwell on He Duo's actions, nor did he hold any dissatisfaction towards the He family because of those three individuals.

To maintain a colossal enterprise on a planet, with only two or three prodigal descendants appearing in the family, was already quite good.

This proportion was far lower than he had imagined.

Soon, deep underground, he saw several hibernation pods arranged side by side.

"Mom..."

He saw his mother's hibernation pod.

Just as the White Fatty Old Man had said, his mother, in order to wait for him as long as possible, waited until she was over eighty years old and her body could no longer sustain itself before entering the hibernation pod. Now, she had the appearance of an old woman.

Her gray hair instantly brought tears to Lin Yang's eyes.

"Good disciple, you possess Life power, so you shall awaken them."

The White Fatty Old Man stepped back a few paces, leaving everything before them to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang nodded, but didn't open the hibernation pods immediately. Instead, he mobilized his Life Spiritualist power, letting it surge and flow, injecting it into his mother and the others' bodies.

He first nourished their bodies, then opened the hibernation pods one by one.

His mother Zhang Fang, He Fatty, He Zhong, Zhao Zizhen, Ye Guhong, Tang Wensheng, Han Zhaoyu, and also the former director of the Aerospace Institute Song Changming, Yuan Zhihe of the Ecology Institute, Dr. Chu of the Armed Forces Department, and Wang Guang, among others... all awakened one by one.

"Lin Yang?"

"Is that you?"

"You're back?"

Zhang Fang was the first to be awakened. Seeing her son standing right before her, looking at her with red eyes, she couldn't believe what she was seeing for a moment.

Her eyes were a bit cloudy, but at this moment, she tried hard to open them wide, attempting to see clearly that everything before her wasn't an illusion.

"Mom, it's me, I'm back..."

Lin Yang gently embraced his mother, lightly patting her back. Waves of gentle Life power slowly injected into his mother's body again, quickly turning her silver hair back to black and making her whole person younger.

"Lin Yang, it really is you!"

Zhang Fang felt the real touch and instantly burst into tears.

She had waited for Lin Yang for decades, finally entering hibernation.

During hibernation, it was a void, and she didn't even know how many years had passed, but upon awakening, she saw her beloved son appear before her, which made Zhang Fang incredibly excited and surprised, unable to stop her tears.

"Mom, it's me. This time I'm back, and I can stay with you properly."

"Good, good." Zhang Fang nodded repeatedly, then suddenly felt a little sad: "But Mom is already old, and can't stay with you for too long. To see you safe before I die, Mom can die in peace."

"Mom!"

Lin Yang's nose tingled again:

"Your son is very powerful now, he can extend your Life! You won't die easily! If you don't believe me, look at your hair!"

"Ah?"

Only then did Zhang Fang notice that her head full of white hair had turned black again.

"Son, you are..."

Zhang Fang was stunned.

"Mom, although I can't yet extend your Life by several hundred years, extending it by several decades shouldn't be a problem. During these decades, I will recuperate your body and look for other more suitable methods!"

Lin Yang didn't explain too much, just spoke softly.

Some things, if explained now, his mother might not understand.

"Still want to live for a few more decades? That's too long."

Zhang Fang, however, suddenly said this:

"Let's not, I've been worried sick for the past few decades. If I live for a few more decades, I'll still have to worry about you. I've had enough."

"..." Lin Yang was startled.

He couldn't respond to that!

After a long silence, he said weakly:

"Mom, don't worry, I won't make you worry again!"

"You rascal, it's enough for Mom to know you're alive and safe. Actually, there's no need to live too long. Although you can't feel anything in the hibernation pod, it's not a pleasant feeling. People always have to go through birth, old age, sickness, and death. It's better to respect the laws of nature," Zhang Fang said from the bottom of her heart.

"Mom, don't worry, you won't have to be in the hibernation pod for the next few decades!" Lin Yang said seriously.

"Then Mom doesn't want to live either..." Zhang Fang blinked, making a relaxed gesture as she spoke.

Lin Yang immediately understood that his mother didn't want to put too much pressure on him.

Immediately, he didn't say anything more, only silently thought about the plan to nourish his mother's body.

At the same time, He Fatty, Zhao Zizhen, and the others had also successively woken up, all excitedly looking at Lin Yang.

However, none of them spoke to disturb Lin Yang and Zhang Fang's reunion.

Only after Lin Yang and Zhang Fang finished talking did they all step forward to hug, shake hands, and converse with Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, I've become an old man, but you still look as young as you were. I'm truly jealous!"

He Fatty's current appearance somewhat resembled the White Fatty Old Man, both being plump, white-haired old men.

Although he said that, he was entirely happy for Lin Yang.

"Fatty, I'll also try my best to let you live a few more years!" Lin Yang also said seriously.

"Haha, we all heard what you and Auntie just said. You're incredible now, but Auntie's words are pretty much what we all think. The reason we were lying in these hibernation pods was just to see you again. Now that we've seen you and resolved our lingering concerns, whether we live or not really isn't that important."

He Fatty had, after all, lived for many decades and also had the mindset of an elder.

Lin Yang didn't say much, just hugged him again.

Afterward, he looked at Zhao Zizhen and the others, embracing each of them and injecting Life power into them, making them appear slightly younger.

"Oh, Classmate Lin, it's been many years, and your appearance hasn't changed. You truly are a celestial being!"

Zhao Zizhen and the others said with a chuckle.

Hearing this long-lost address, Lin Yang couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, then said,

"Today is New Year's Eve. I've returned at a good time, haven't I? Everyone is awake, so let's celebrate the New Year first."

"Ah? Is it New Year's Eve today?"

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Yang's timing for returning was truly too coincidental.

It was only when everyone came to the surface and checked the time that they realized a hundred years had passed since Lin Yang left, and several decades had passed since they entered the hibernation pods.

Looking at the enormous, ever-changing world outside, everyone felt both unfamiliar and happy.

"I never thought that us old fellows would have a day to see the light again and move around under the sun."

Zhao Zizhen was deeply moved.

Ye Guhong and the others nodded:

"It's all thanks to Lin."

As everyone chatted, Lin Yang watched, feeling a sense of déjà vu, as if he had returned to a hundred years ago.

Familiar and unfamiliar faces were all before him.

At this moment, he understood the meaning and necessity of becoming stronger.

He needed to become stronger to better protect his family and friends!

"We spent New Year's Eve together and welcomed the New Year together!"

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Lin Yang and his mother, along with others, celebrated their first reunion New Year after a hundred years.

Everyone was very happy.

The next day.

Zhao Zizhen conveyed their thoughts to Lin Yang: "Lin, we've all thought about it. You can extend our lives by several decades, so we'll continue to contribute to our country and no longer enter the hibernation pods. We'll die naturally after a few decades."

"This..." Lin Yang's expression shifted slightly. After a moment of thought, he didn't try to persuade them, letting them do as they wished.

Living for a few more decades under the sun versus sleeping for thousands of years in a hibernation pod were two different choices.

Some people preferred to live freely under the sun, enjoying more of the beauty of nature and the human world in their limited lives.

Others preferred to gain a longer Life through hibernation pods, to see the world many years later.

Lin Yang chose to respect each person's decision.

After the New Year, the current authorities also asked Lin Yang if Blue Star Civilization could enter the universe.

Before Lin Yang could reply, Director Song arrived.

In fact, Director Song had arrived earlier, but seeing Lin Yang celebrating the New Year with his family, he hadn't shown himself. Now, he couldn't resist meeting Lin Yang.

"Director Song, a hundred years unseen, are you well?"

Lin Yang also held great respect for Director Song.

"Haha, I'm very well. It's you, you've shocked me too much!" Director Song laughed heartily.

He had naturally already met Kong Shan Yu and the others.

He was quite shocked by their existence.

After laughing, Director Song's expression immediately became much more serious:

"Lin Yang, logically speaking, you've just returned, and I shouldn't be telling you unpleasant things. You should spend more time with your family. Senior Zhu probably has the same thought, which is why he hasn't told you, but the situation has changed drastically over these hundred years. There are some things I must tell you immediately."

"What is it?" Lin Yang's eyes subtly changed.

It sounded like what Director Song was about to say wasn't good news.

"I heard from your friends that you went straight home after returning and haven't been to Yu Star or the Human Alliance yet, right?" Director Song asked.

"Yes." Lin Yang nodded, then pressed: "What happened to Yu Star?"

"Alas, you know that Yu Ancestor angered Northern Branch Rock and those old fellows by saving you back then. They later launched a frantic retaliation against Yu Ancestor and Yu Star!"

Director Song sighed:

"We were powerless; it was truly difficult to protect Yu Star and Yu Ancestor. Yu Star was largely destroyed by their various methods, and Yu Ancestor was forced to flee far away to a desperate place and has been out of contact for many years."

"What? Yu Ancestor was chased by them to a desperate place and lost contact?"

Lin Yang was startled, and then a monstrous killing intent surged in his eyes.

Yu Ancestor saved him at a critical moment and later gave him so much spiritual substance, which was the most important reason he was able to improve quickly in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe!

Without Yu Ancestor and those spiritual substances, he would definitely still be slowly improving in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe.

But now, Yu Ancestor was actually chased by Northern Branch Rock and those old fellows until he lost contact.

This immediately ignited his murderous intent!

Seeing this, Director Song said apologetically:

"Yes, I'm truly sorry. Yu Ancestor was our comrade, but we failed to protect him."

"Northern Branch Rock and the others invited the Mingye Clan's Old Ancestor to kill you back then, which was tantamount to betraying their race. The Neutral Faction had originally agreed to jointly pressure them with us."

"But one of their old fellows had a stroke of luck and his strength surged, causing the Neutral Faction to be unwilling to pressure them at such a critical juncture, as long as they didn't continue to do anything out of line."

"Having lost the support of the Neutral Faction, we and Northern Branch Rock and the others fought several times back then, but ultimately we were slightly outmatched. Yu Ancestor was forced to flee far away, and many of our people died."

"Now, the entire Human Alliance has gradually been taken over by Northern Branch Rock and the others. If you hadn't returned this time, we probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for more than another hundred years."

Director Song sighed, recounting the situation of these years:

"Also, the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan have been fighting us to a standstill, but Northern Branch Rock and the others, after their strength greatly increased, did not fully attack the two clans, resulting in a stalemate to this day, with a large number of warriors dying in racial wars every year."

"Northern Branch Rock and the others want to use the power of the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan to weaken us as much as possible."

"..."

Director Song described the changes in the Ten Thousand Universes over these hundred years.

Lin Yang's anger and killing intent grew stronger and stronger as he listened!

"Those damned old fellows, occupying over eighty percent of the special resources, yet only using them to strengthen themselves, completely disregarding the lives of others, and even infighting among their own people, they truly deserve to die!"

Chasing Yu Ancestor, destroying Yu Star, not fully attacking the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan, allowing a large number of Human Alliance warriors to die on the racial battlefield!

Each and every one of these incidents ignited Lin Yang's fury!

Then, Lin Yang suddenly thought of something:

"Director Song, are you missing something? They dealt with my Yu Xia Universe, destroyed Yu Star, so they should have done other things to our Yu Xia Universe, right?"

If he remembered correctly, Northern Branch Rock had said he would destroy the entire Yu Xia Universe back then.

"This..."

Director Song hesitated for a moment before hesitantly saying:

"The Yu Xia Universe is fine, it's just that they repeatedly tried to invade Blue Star, wanting to destroy it, to make you suffer even if you returned..."

"But fortunately, they don't have any Space Dao experts, and Senior Zhu's methods have protected this place very well."

Director Song quickly said two sentences, looking at Lin Yang's expression.

He hadn't mentioned it just now because he didn't want Lin Yang to get too angry right after returning.

Because Blue Star had indeed not been successfully invaded.

He had intended not to bring it up for now, but since Lin Yang asked, he had no choice but to tell him.

"Good, good, good!"

Lin Yang sneered:

"They truly know how to kill and punish the heart, wanting to destroy my home planet and make me lose all my loved ones. I really underestimated their viciousness!"

"You also... don't get too agitated. After all, this place hasn't been successfully invaded by them." Director Song tried to console him again with that same sentence.

"Director Song, where are those old fellows now? Have they always been in the Time-Space Turbulence Zone?" Lin Yang asked directly.

"What do you want to do?" Director Song looked at him. "I know your friends are very powerful, and you are also very powerful. Now that we have your strength, we need to plan carefully. We shouldn't rush to fight them."

To be honest, the addition of several Old Ancestor level existences indeed gave Director Song some hope.

He didn't want Lin Yang to be too impulsive and directly go to Northern Branch Rock and the others for revenge.

They had endured for so many years; they weren't afraid to endure a few more.

With these powerful individuals, they needed to plan carefully.

But Lin Yang said:

"Director Song, you might not fully understand the strength of me and my friends. Now is the time to go directly and fight them; it's nothing to worry about!"

With that, he was about to explain to Director Song that each of Kong Shan Yu and the others could at least contend with two Old Ancestor level fighters.

However, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he glanced in the direction outside Blue Star.

Then, with a cold snort, he took a step and appeared outside Blue Star.

Outside Blue Star, several "old acquaintances" were currently attempting to attack the folded space location.

"Zhai Lin!"

Lin Yang roared.

Yes, that's right.

These old acquaintances were precisely Zhai Lin and a few others who had arrived shortly after learning that Director Song had suddenly come to Blue Star.

The actions of these guy also confirmed what Director Song had just said; they were indeed trying to enter Blue Star to destroy it.

"Xiao Hu, it really is you who returned. No wonder Director Song came here!"

Seeing Lin Yang suddenly appear, Zhai Lin and the others were first startled, then became overjoyed:

"Hahaha, Lin Yang, you Xiao Hu still dare to come back. This time, we will absolutely not let you escape like you did back then!"

Saying that, Zhai Lin took out his communication device, intending to send a message.

But, in the next instant, Lin Yang flashed in front of him.

"Zhai Lin, you said it well. This time, I also won't let you live!"

"I will personally kill you!"

Lin Yang's gaze was chilling.

"Ha, hahaha, Xiao Hu, what did you say? You want to kill me yourself now??"

Zhai Lin, however, laughed as if he had heard some huge joke.

He knew Lin Yang had broken through to the Spiritual Realm a hundred years ago, but it had only been a hundred years. He didn't believe Lin Yang could possess the strength to kill him!

Therefore, he held his head high and said disdainfully:

"Still, let Director Song and your master come out. You are not worthy to speak to this director like this!"

Buzz!

His answer was Lin Yang's spear!

The long spear condensed from spiritual power instantly pierced through Zhai Lin's head!

"You... ho ho... how could... be so... strong..."

One second ago, Zhai Lin was still sneering.

But the next second, he widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at the long spear piercing his head, and uttered the last sounds of his Life.

"Now, it's your turn!"

Lin Yang didn't even look at Zhai Lin's corpse, and instantly condensed several more long spears, simultaneously piercing the heads of the remaining veteran Spiritual Realm experts from the Old Monster Faction who had followed Zhai Lin.

These people were all those who had participated in besieging him at the Source Star entrance back then!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

The long spears simultaneously pierced the heads of the remaining several Spiritual Realm experts within a second.

The bodies of these individuals instantly floated haphazardly in space.

And they, without even time to react, had already fallen dead on the spot.

This scene instantly stunned Director Song and White Fatty Old Man, who had also sensed the commotion and rushed over.

The two couldn't help but look at each other, both swallowing hard.

What had they seen?

Lin Yang actually instantly killed Zhai Lin and several veteran Spiritual Realm experts?!

Director Song was especially shocked.

Because Zhai Lin and those veteran Spiritual Realm experts were all comparable in strength to him.

He wouldn't even dare to say he had a guaranteed kill in a one-on-one fight.

But Lin Yang instantly killed them, and he instantly killed multiple people at once!

This instantly made his scalp tingle!

At this moment, he finally somewhat understood what Lin Yang meant when he told him just now that he didn't understand their current strength.

This power... was too strong.

Terrifyingly strong!

"Good disciple, you... you..."

White Fatty Old Man was also dumbfounded, muttering:

"You're actually this strong? You can even instantly kill Spiritual Realm experts??"

"Haha, Your Excellency Zhu Cang, it's just instantly killing a few trash Spiritual Realm experts, it's nothing at all."

Then, before Lin Yang could reply, Kong Shan Yu and the others appeared one after another, laughing heartily and saying something that instantly made White Fatty Old Man and Director Song's hair stand on end again:

"Your Excellency Lin Yang can even instantly kill Old Ancestor level experts!"

With a buzzing sound.

White Fatty Old Man and Director Song's minds began to thunder.
