1. The Journey of the Stars - Part 1: Departure
Previously: The protagonist fought a duel with the villain to protect Earth, and Lei Yan lived on forever. Four years later, radar finally detected the protagonist's life signal.
In the starry sky, a pair of eyes opened, followed by the appearance of a man on a planet far from Earth, its surface covered in black gas.
The man walked aimlessly across the lawn, one hand supporting his forehead, his vision blurry. Soon, his hazy vision cleared, and he saw a clump of grass. Instinctively, he half-squatted before the delicate blade, his hands supporting it. An urge compelled him to pluck it; he followed his primal instinct. What followed was a mechanical act of pulling up stalks one by one, quickly weaving a garment of grass. The already bare lawn became even balder.
A series of beeping sounds shattered the tranquility of Tianxing. It was something that looked like a radar. A woman walking along a nearby path heard the noise and, overjoyed, rushed over. Hugging the radar, she excitedly shouted, "Four years... another four years..." With that, she ran towards a larger room, clutching the radar. Tianxing had long since changed, but Bianhai remained the same.
The man on the planet shrouded in black gas was collecting twigs and chopping at a stake, but as the saying goes, coolness lasts only three seconds. So he blew on his hand and shook it, his "newborn" hand sensitive to pain. He then split the wood in two and used a couple of blades of grass to forge a primitive axe—not sharp, but sufficient.
On the sky, another man sat eating next to a humanoid dragon. In the four years since, the man had changed drastically; he now wore glasses and had become much stronger. The dragon, meanwhile, had grown its hair and carried a faint air of melancholy. The radar woman rushed into the room, startling the chicken sitting nearby, but the dragon beneath her remained erect as a mountain. "Found it! Four years!" the woman kept repeating. "What! It really works?" The man was incredulous; his hands trembled so much that he spilled his food. He rushed forward, hugging the beeping radar. "Really...really? Are you sure it's not broken...?" He looked at the woman, "Why don't you use the Motion Heart to check again?" The woman shook her head: "Really..." The dragon and the chicken, unable to sit still any longer, quickly ran over.
The chicken looked at the radar and said, "It's on Youlu Star. You guys take the Pa Ying ship..." Oh dear, how did the little rascal let it slip? Looks like he can't keep up the act anymore. Alright, welcome back to the Holy Land, I am the famous Mo Bei, and this next to me is Yang (the narrator is quite narcissistic; I'll delete these two narrators when I have time, they're too noisy). Chen Wenwu, Xing Han, and Shenlong rushed towards the Pa Ying ship, the vehicle Pa Ying used to come to Tianxing. Now she no longer needs to hide her base underground. The others heard the commotion and rushed over, especially Dongfang Tianying (actually, he's just one of the named supporting characters in the Earth-Tianxing arc. "Wait a minute, isn't there also Raymond Garrett?" You're being too talkative), he excitedly exclaimed, "Brother Mo Bei has actually been found!" He came to see the three of them off, and also to celebrate that Mo Bei had found...
They boarded the spaceship and inserted a card into a slot. A burst of red-gold light flashed from the card, revealing a lightning-flame dragon spiraling upwards, accompanied by a rather crude dragon roar. A voice came from within: "Xinghan, access granted." It was Mo Bei's voice. The screens on the spaceship lit up, displaying a panel and the path ahead on a dark glass surface, all emitting a faint blue glow. Beside them sat the Bluetooth device Mo Bei had left behind.
Xinghan gently brushed the card with her right hand, revealing a holographic map. Xinghan infused it with her spiritual energy: "Youlu Star." The map displayed the distance from Tianxing to Youlu Star, and the estimated arrival time… Then she activated it.
A blue halo erupted from beneath the starship, its aftershocks enveloping the earth. Then it rose, heading towards the planet Youlu. In the distance, Nipawan's base lay in darkness, long deserted, now a playground for Earthlings. The garden served as a memorial site, with a statue of Mo Bei erected at the central altar, white wreaths carpeting the ground below, inscribed with the words "Holy Domain." Beside it stood a statue of Nipawan, similarly inscribed below. The Tianying Empire had become the new capital city, its technology far surpassing that of Earth at the time, teeming with cultivators. Frost and fire reigned, dragons still dwelled, and people coexisted with the dragons. Everything was beautiful; Tianxing was becoming a second Earth, untouched by any ill influences.
