An Lin traveled to Earth with Bai Ling's ball.
He passed through the spatial gate between the two worlds and was greeted by the sight of the adorable Rabbit Maiden.
The Rabbit Maiden immediately gave An Lin a recount of how arduous her battle had been, and how valiantly and desperately she had fought for Earth's sake.
Xiao Fu and Xiao Pang didn't dare to expose her lies.
She was talking about how the Heavenly Mind God had dominated her, torn the flesh off her body before consuming it, crushed her mind, destroyed her consciousness...
Was there a role reversal here?
In the end, the Rabbit Maiden was able to summon unyielding determination after reminding herself of her duty to protect the entire human race, thereby allowing her to turn the tables and barely edge out the Heavenly Mind God.
The Rabbit Maiden was extremely exuberant and energetic with no signs of injuries on her body. This was clearly not someone who had just survived a life and death battle.
He knew that she was just trying to swindle one more dish out of him.
Heh, women.
They had agreed on two dishes initially, and he was now kind enough to give her five, but she wanted six?
An Lin smiled and did not respond no matter how much the Rabbit Maiden tried to grind him down.
Chop chop chop...
An Lin cooked for the Rabbit Maiden in outer space.
In an environment without gravity, he had to create gravity of his own in order to make it easier for him to cook. Thus, An Lin cooked while unleashing his Abyssal Gravity Technique.
The Rabbit Maiden was already drooling at the sight of the food in the frying pan.
Not only her, but even Xiao Fu and Xiao Pang, who absorbed the power of the stars for sustenance, were yearning for a taste.
However, the Rabbit Maiden was not going to share any of her dishes. She even lapped up the juices from the frying pan dish and left absolutely nothing for Xiao Fu and Xiao Pang.
After serving the Rabbit Maiden, An Lin returned to Earth to visit his Earth friends.
The small ball Bai Ling had given him rose into the sky and merged into heaven and earth.
"Master An Lin, please remember to call me when you go back. I'll reveal myself and go back with you, " a mechanical voice sounded between heaven and earth.
An Lin nodded with a smile."I'll be sure to do so."
Bai Ling had once told him that she wanted to mend the heavens and right the wrong of the Purple Star Civilization. He wondered how that was going and also wondered if it was time for him to inquire about her progress.
Once the Heavenly Sea God descended, the war would be flipped on its head, and time would be absolutely vital. He didn't know if Bai Ling had enough time to prepare or not.
An Lin did not notify his family and friends of his return at first.
He wanted to see what Earth was like without him around.
In the Hua Alliance Heavenly Human Tribe Resistance Summit.
This was a summit the entire world was paying close attention to.
An Mingchuan wore a tailored suit and stood on the stage as he expressed his opinions on the Heavenly Human Tribe.
He was the most respected and revered cultivator representative on Earth and was also the idol of many cultivators on Earth. He shone like a bright light at this moment and was an extremely important figure even on the international stage.
Everything he said or did could create a massive stir across the entire world.
"Dad looks so cool and confident here.
"Even though he's one of the few humans who are aware of just how terrifying the enemy is, he still marches onward like a brave warrior and encourages the rest of Earth to do so with him..."
An Lin stood right beside An Mingchuan, but no one could see him.
The higher-ups on Earth still thought that Heavenly Human Tribe Great Generals were the most powerful enemies they had to deal with. As for the Divine Heaven Stage Heavenly Humans, Heavenly Gods, and paramount Heavenly Gods, those were beings completely outside of their realm of imagination, and telling everyone about them would do no good.
If they knew that there were even more powerful beings that could wipe Earth out in the blink of an eye, would they still have the courage to keep fighting?
If they were kept in the dark, they would still have the motivation and hope to fight. If they knew everything, morale would inevitably plummet.
An Lin recalled back to the expression of shock and horror that had appeared on his father's face when he heard about just how terrifyingly powerful the Heavenly Human Tribe was.
However, his expression soon returned to normal.
An Lin was quite curious with regard to why he was no longer scared, to which he replied, "What's there to be scared of? Even if the sky falls, it'll land on taller people first. All we can do is try our best to survive."
An Mingchuan then turned to An Lin with an earnest expression."Don't work too hard! There are so many powerful beings on the Tai Chu Continent, so don't always strive to lead from the front. If the sky does fall, make sure you hide as quickly as possible so that you don't get hit..."
These words still reverberated clearly in his mind.
The concern a father had for his son was always so simple yet so genuine.
An Lin sighed with emotion."Dad, you may not believe me when I say this, but if the sky really does fall, I've already become one of the few tallest people that will be struck first..."
He looked at the confident and impassioned An Mingchuan onstage and struggled to make a connection between his mundane and reserved father and the An Mingchuan now.
A smile appeared on An Lin's face as he gradually disappeared from the spot.
An Mingchuan was in the middle of his speech when his words suddenly faltered, and he looked around with a confused expression. He had a nagging feeling that something very familiar had come and left.
All of the cultivators and higher-ups in the army were equally confused.
The speech had just reached its climax but had come to an abrupt halt.
Could it be that Senior An Mingchuan had forgotten his script right at this critical juncture?
An Lin then went to visit his friends.
Legal loli Tian Lingling wore a light dress that revealed her snowy-white arms and slender, well-proportioned legs. She was quite underdressed, especially when one considered how she was meditating on the peak of Mount Everest.
Whoosh!
She swept a hand through the air and hurled a dart that tore through the frosty air before piercing into a mountain, upon which nothing happened.
Tian Lingling exhaled gently.
Boom!
The mountain suddenly exploded.
A violent explosion of energy erupted, and countless shards of rubble flew through the air.
A mountain had been destroyed by Tian Lingling, just like that.
That wasn't a dart she had just thrown; that thing was a bomb!
"Is she working on a spell technique? How diligent... However, this is a really weird spell technique... No wonder she has to practice in secluded places like this, " An Lin remarked.
An Lin was quite elated to see her working so hard, and he hid a set of low-rank dart immortal tools within a mountain.
Tian Lingling continued to hurl her darts.
The dart stabbed into a mountain before exploding.
Boom!
A resounding boom erupted.
All of a sudden, dazzling immortal light spilled forth.
Tian Lingling's brain completely shut down upon seeing this.
Her eyes widened, and her mouth gaped open with incredulity.
"Ho... holy f*ck!
"Is this my lucky day?!
"Arrrgh!!!"
Tian Lingling screamed like a chipmunk before hurtling toward the darts.
"Immortal-rank treasures!
"These are legendary immortal-rank treasures...
"Thank you, God! Thank you, Daddy! Thank you, everything!"
Tian Lingling hugged the immortal-rank darts to her chest and gushed with excitement.
An Lin stood beside the loli, who was on the verge of fainting from happiness, and he was quite elated to hear her thank her daddy. The smile of a benevolent father appeared on his face, and he decided to take no credit for this as he slowly disappeared from the spot.
