258: Chapter 258 The Supreme Returns Home - Family Members in Shock

Three days later, he brought a dog and a cat, riding the clouds and mist, heading straight for the New Continent across the Atlantic.

It was a paradise in every sense, peaceful and serene, just like a world apart.

Everyone lived a prosperous and vibrant life.

Jiang Chen stood at his doorstep, looking at his once-familiar family, a trace of warmth rising in his heart.

But the moment he appeared, his entire family was terrified out of their wits—he had fallen from the sun, perished in the Heavenly Tribulation, and had long been presumed dead.

Now that he had suddenly appeared, although his appearance was the same, his aura was like a god descending to the mortal world; how could he still resemble a living person?

"You... what exactly... are you man or ghost?" his father asked with a trembling voice, and before the words had finished, the whole family had backed away three steps, their faces deathly pale.

Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, feeling a mix of amusement and frustration. He, the dignified Lord who returned from the Chaos, was actually being mistaken for a wandering ghost by his own family?

Just as it was awkward, a little girl suddenly bounced out of the house, her eyes shining like exploding stars: "Oh! I know! You are my uncle, right!"

"I am a student at the Spirit Academy, and I have memorized the bloodline charts by heart!"

"You walked down from the sun and returned after breaking through the void—you are that legendary 'Chaos Sovereign'!"

"Oh my god! The myth I have been following for three years is actually standing alive right in front of me!!" The young girl let out a loud shout, and the atmosphere instantly thawed.

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he took a step forward, his voice low but thunderous: "That is correct. I was reborn from the flames, and I have returned in this life only to take you into the Eternal Star Domain."

"There, there is no illness or disaster, no death or decay, and glory lasts forever—are you willing to follow me?"

"I'm willing! I'm willing!!" The little girl jumped up and down in excitement, her fists clenched, her face flushed red.

But what about the others? They looked at each other, thinking he was just telling a fantasy story. They hurriedly gathered around to persuade him: "Stop making trouble! Life is so good now! Technology is advanced, food and clothing are plentiful, just live this life steadily and that's enough!"

Even more absurdly, the next morning, his parents, who had become strangers, actually secretly arranged a blind date.

The person introduced was a female teacher from a key middle school in the neighboring district, both highly educated and good-looking; they were practically ready to sign a marriage contract on the spot.

Jiang Chen stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, and smiled bitterly in silence. What was his current status? A reincarnated Chaos Sovereign, holding the authority over the galaxies, and the Three Realms must bow before him. Yet now, he was being dragged by his father to meet a 'future daughter-in-law'?

The relatives around were still chatting about housing prices, job titles, and school district housing, with no awe for him in their words, treating him only as a freak who had returned home after a long illness. The four words 'out of place' were almost carved into the air.

His brows were tightly locked, and a stifled fire pressed in his heart: "Who can help me tear through this absurd situation?"

Before the words had finished, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door. A middle-aged man in a dark suit walked in slowly, his expression respectful to the extreme—

"Sovereign, I am Taibai Jinxing, and I have been waiting for you for a long time. Leave the trivial matters here to me; you only need to return to your position with peace of mind—if you don't mind, please move to my humble abode for a temporary stay."

Everyone was stunned. Who was this person? Then they looked at his ID badge—District Mayor!

That powerful figure, famous throughout the city, whose word could decide the fate of millions of projects, was now bowing and standing with his hands at his sides like a servant, his tone so humble it was almost pious. The whole family was dumbfounded.

The relatives who had just been saying that Jiang Chen was talking nonsense immediately went silent.

But his parents were still hesitant: "The star domain is too far... We are old and cannot withstand the turmoil. Earth is quite good now, why must we ascend and take risks?"

Jiang Chen's eyes dimmed slightly. He had traveled across hundreds of millions of light-years to return, just to take his parents out of the sea of suffering of reincarnation and enjoy endless peace. This intention was hard to find in the Three Realms, yet his relatives were shrinking back due to fear. His heart couldn't help but turn cold.

Fortunately, Taibai Jinxing immediately stepped forward, speaking in a gentle and soft voice, describing life in the star domain—nourished by spiritual energy, extended longevity, gods as neighbors, and immortal birds as companions...

He knew that ordinary people feared the unknown the most. When they moved from the mainland to the New Continent back then, they had also suffered from sleepless nights and anxiety. Now, facing the vast universe, they were even more instinctively afraid.

But inside the house, that little niece from the Spirit Academy had already jumped onto the table, waving her arms and shouting: "I want to go! I want to go!! I will be angry with anyone who stops me!!" Only that little niece was jumping up and down in excitement, shouting non-stop.

"Ha! So you have things you are afraid of too! I, Yang Mei, have finally caught an opportunity today!" Who could have imagined that Jiang Chen's little plan would be caught red-handed by the Chaos Fiendgod, Great Immortal Yang Mei.

The Chaos was refined, and the Fiendgods of the heavens and the Western gods were all annihilated. However, Jiang Chen had left a crack, letting a glimmer of life escape. Who would have thought that Yang Mei would escape by following this remnant aura, tracking him all the way, and actually sneaking directly here.

"I might as well just swallow all of you in one gulp!" This was Yang Mei's most genuine thought at this moment.

"Hmph! I was originally cultivating in peace in the Chaos, unfettered and carefree! It is just that you, you scoundrel, occupied my Daoist temple and disturbed my peace!"

"Now I am wandering in the sea of stars, with no fixed abode—you are my mortal enemy!" Yang Mei gritted his teeth, his hatred surging.

"No, I am not in a rush to kill you... I will sneak into your relatives' bodies and let them rot to death, one by one, while they are still alive!"

Once the evil thought arose, the demonic energy followed like a shadow, silently seeping into Jiang Chen's family's bodies. No one noticed, and there was not a trace of abnormality. The demonic seed was planted, and Yang Mei immediately hid in the crowd, vanishing without a trace.

As the saying goes: Those who hide small stay in the wild, while those who hide big stay in the city. At this moment, Yang Mei was hiding in the bustling mortal world. In the vast sea of people, wanting to find him? It was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Jiang Chen's family was originally full of doubts. That was until the District Mayor, who was Taibai Jinxing in disguise, personally stepped forward. He came to persuade them, and he was fully prepared—he even brought video materials of those who had moved to the star domain.

"Step into Wuji Heaven, and you can be immortal and undying!" These were the words Jiang Chen had said, and they were absolutely true. At first, his family thought he was bragging. But now that even the District Mayor was saying so, and leaders and authorities in the scientific community were endorsing it, they had to believe it even if they didn't want to.

"Wukong, drive the star domain warship over!" At Jiang Chen's command, the order traveled far into the sea of stars. In less than half a month, the warship arrived, breaking through the void. It spanned the sky, blocking out the sun, like a world descending into the human realm, with a majestic aura that was incredibly shocking.

To completely dispel his family's concerns, Jiang Chen had the District Mayor personally lead the team and take them on board for a tour. Good heavens! What kind of spaceship was this? It was simply a complete cosmic world! Mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, sun, moon, and stars were all present, with spiritual energy swirling about, just like a fairyland.

After seeing this, the stone in the family's hearts finally fell to the ground. After half a month of preparation, they brought more clansmen and set off in a grand procession. The star domain warship sailed into deep space, heading straight for Chaos Wuji Heaven, with the entire journey taking three months.

Jiang Chen did not go with them, but stayed in the human realm to continue monitoring world affairs. Because—a plague had broken out.

A deadly virus was spreading rapidly, and the infected would die within three days of hospitalization. After emergency testing, the epidemic prevention department confirmed: this virus had extremely strong transmissibility and was impossible to guard against. Within five days, the death toll exceeded two thousand.

Panic exploded instantly, sweeping across the entire population. Society was in chaos, and the country immediately activated emergency mechanisms. But the virus's spread speed was comparable to a prehistoric beast. In less than a month, many places around the world had fallen.

The entire Earth was plunged into white terror, with everyone fearing for themselves. The world was completely locked down, and quarantine became the norm. And the number of people applying to evacuate and go to the star domain was increasing. Even though it was already an era of gods descending, when such a thing happened, it should have been resolved by the Spirit Academy. But what was the result?
