Chapter 455 Return to Pangu Tree Spirit Forest
"Well, we're back. I found the exit and can take you straight out!" Su Siyi didn't hesitate at all and directly shared the good news. Her eyes were firm and confident, and her voice was clear and loud, as if she was announcing a major victory.
"Really?" Li Chenxing was surprised when he heard this. His eyes widened as he looked at Su Siyi in disbelief. They had been searching for the exit for so long, going through countless hardships and dangers without success, but Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming had found it so quickly. This was really hard for him to believe.
"Of course it's true. You can leave here anytime." Su Siyi nodded vigorously, her tone firm. Her face was filled with a proud smile, and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"Really? We want to go back right away." The surrounding tribesmen were immediately excited when they heard the news, their faces filled with surprise and excitement. Some cheered, while others cried with joy. They had lived here for too long and were filled with longing for the outside world.
"Okay, then you all go back. I'll stay and continue delivering the spirit stones." Li Chenxing looked at the excitement of his tribesmen, feeling both relieved and reluctant. He knew how much they missed their homeland, so to allow them to return home as soon as possible, he decided to stay and stick to his post.
"No need to stay. I'll provide you with spirit stones if you need them later," Su Siyi said quickly. She looked at Li Chenxing's determined eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She understood Li Chenxing's painstaking efforts, but she had a better way to solve the spirit stone problem.
"Then you can't go back. No, let me stay and guard it." Li Chenxing shook his head firmly. He couldn't let the younger generation sacrifice their lives for his own selfish desires. His eyes revealed determination and perseverance, as if he was guarding an important responsibility.
"We really don't need anyone. Remember that robot? It can also deliver the spirit stones back," Su Siyi explained with a smile, her eyes gleaming with wisdom. She remembered the all-powerful robot she had brought with her earlier; with its capabilities, it was perfectly capable of transporting the spirit stones.
"Really?" Li Chenxing frowned slightly, lost in thought. He recalled the robot's efficient work, and a wavering feeling slowly formed in his heart. He looked at Su Siyi's confident smile, and his doubts gradually dissipated.
"Of course it's true. Just get ready and I can send you away directly." Su Siyi said affirmatively again. Her voice was full of power, making people believe her involuntarily.
"Okay, let's go back!" The tribesmen nodded, their faces filled with happy smiles. They took everything they had with them, and at this moment, their hearts had already flown to the outside world.
Su Siyi took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and concentrated. Then, with a gentle wave of her hand, a dazzling light instantly enveloped everyone. In a flash of light, Su Siyi successfully sent everyone in this world out in one breath. She looked at the empty surroundings, feeling a surge of emotion. From now on, this world was hers, and anyone who wanted to enter had to ask for her permission. She knew she shouldered a heavy responsibility, but she was also full of confidence, believing that she could protect this world and create more miracles.
As Su Siyi waved goodbye to everyone leaving that mysterious world, a flash of light emanated from their vision, sending them reeling. When their vision cleared, they found themselves at the edge of the Pangu Life Tree's formation. Everyone's faces were filled with astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief, as they scanned their surroundings, trying to confirm that this sudden change wasn't an illusion.
The area before them was the exact location of the teleportation array they had used to reach that world. A familiar scene greeted them, yet it felt a bit strange. After all, no one had expected to return in such a dramatic way.
Just as everyone was still lost in astonishment, the teleportation array that had stood before them suddenly emitted a dull sound without warning. Immediately afterwards, cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. In a moment, with a resounding "boom," the teleportation array collapsed, transforming into a pile of broken stones and shimmering fragments, which eventually dissipated into the air, as if they had never existed.
"The teleportation array is gone." Li Miaoling was the first to recover from her shock. Her eyes widened as she watched the array vanish, her face filled with worry. She couldn't help but scream. Her voice echoed in the silent space, filled with anxiety and fear.
"Then there won't be any spirit stones to be delivered to us from now on." Li Chenxing's expression instantly grew serious, his brow furrowed, his eyes filled with worry. He knew full well that the disappearance of the teleportation array meant they had completely lost direct contact with the world rich in spirit stones, and this would have a huge impact on the future of protecting the Pangu Life Tree and the entire family.
"Don't worry, there will be a way to solve it." Su Siyi's eyes were firm and confident. She raised her chin slightly and spoke with a firm tone. In her mind, there are always more solutions than problems. Since she had successfully found the way back, she believed that she would also be able to find a way to solve the spirit stone problem.
"Chenxing, Miaoling, why are you both back?" Li Yanghui, standing not far away, inspecting the Pangu Life Tree, turned around and saw his son and daughter suddenly appear before him. His eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but shout. His voice was filled with surprise and confusion, and his pace unconsciously quickened as he walked towards them.
"Dad, we're back." Li Chenxing and Li Miaoling's eyes instantly moistened when they saw their parents, and a warm feeling welled up in their hearts. They couldn't wait to quickly walk over to their parents and hold their hands tightly, as if wanting to pour out all their thoughts and experiences of the past few days.
"Are there any others left?" Li Yanghui was relieved to see his children safely return, but as the patriarch of his family, he still had many concerns. He knew that if he could not obtain more spirit stones, the survival of the Pangu Spirit Tree, which carried the family's hopes and the responsibility of protecting humanity, would face enormous challenges.
"Dad, no one is left. Everyone has been sent out." Li Chenxing answered truthfully. There was a hint of complex emotions in his eyes, including worry about the future of the family and admiration for Su Siyi's powerful abilities.
"What should I do next?" Li Yanghui's frown deepened, his gaze fixed on the distant Pangu Spirit Trees, his eyes filled with worry. He knew full well that these Pangu Spirit Trees were crucial to protecting humanity, but now that the teleportation array had vanished and the spirit stone supply was cut off, he had no idea how to continue protecting them.
"Why did the teleportation array disappear?" Li Yuanyao hugged her daughter, excited for a moment. After letting her go, she looked up and saw the vanished teleportation array. She was immediately surprised and couldn't help but ask. Her eyes were filled with confusion and uneasiness. As a family elder, she knew the importance of the teleportation array, and now its disappearance made her feel deeply uneasy.
"Well, as soon as we showed up, we discovered the teleportation array had vanished." Li Miaoling sighed slightly, a hint of helplessness in her tone. She couldn't explain this sudden change, so she could only tell her parents what she had seen.
"How could they disappear? Who brought you out?" Li Yuanyao's heart was filled with doubts. She looked at her children with a hint of anxiety in her eyes. She was eager to know what had happened and who had such powerful ability to bring everyone out of that mysterious world.
"Mom, it was Siyi who brought us out," Li Miaoling said, looking in Su Siyi's direction. Her eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration. If it weren't for Su Siyi, they would probably still be struggling to find a way out in that world.
"Siyi, who is that?" Li Yuanyao asked, puzzled. Following her daughter's gaze, she saw a young woman standing there. She had a pretty face, her eyes gleaming with a spirit and confidence. However, she was certain she didn't know this girl.
"Siyi, come and meet the clan leader!" Li Chenxing saw his mother's confusion and spoke quickly. He knew Su Siyi's special status and that as a junior in the family, she should pay her respects to the clan leader.
"Su Siyi greets the clan leader." Su Siyi bowed slightly, respectfully greeting the Li couple. Her eyes were filled with respect. In her heart, this couple had stood here, guarding the Pangu Spirit Tree, a spirit of selfless dedication that she deeply admired. Even though they weren't her direct ancestors, she was filled with respect for their perseverance and protectiveness. After all, time is the most invincible enemy, yet they had persisted over the long years, caring for these Pangu Spirit Trees. This perseverance and determination earned Su Siyi deep admiration.
"You have the blood of our Li family. Whose child are you?" Li Yanghui narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing the aura emanating from Su Siyi. He keenly sensed the power of the Li family bloodline flowing through her veins. His eyes were filled with confusion, yet also with a hint of anticipation, wanting to know which branch of the family this young girl was descended from.
"I'm Li Miaoyin's great-grandson," Su Siyi said softly, a hint of sadness in her voice. Speaking of her great-grandmother, she felt a surge of mixed emotions: regret for her and a sense of regret for her difficult life.
"My little daughter's great-granddaughter now has a great-granddaughter!" Li Yanghui's face was filled with surprise, and a flicker of emotion flashed in his eyes. Time flies so fast. That once lively and lovely little daughter now has a great-granddaughter, and he has become a great-grandfather. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh at the relentless passage of time.
"Yes, great-grandmother has passed away a long time ago." Su Siyi lowered her head slightly, her voice choked with sobs. She thought of her great-grandmother's life, which was full of suffering and hardships, and her heart was filled with sadness.
"What did you say?" Li Yanghui asked, bewildered. A sense of foreboding welled up in his heart. The word "left" held a heavy meaning in his heart. He couldn't believe that his little daughter was no longer alive.
"Dad, Mom, I know about this. I'm here to tell you." Li Chenxing felt sad when he saw his parents' shock and confusion. He knew that this news was too heavy for them, but they had the right to know the truth. So, he took a deep breath and told them everything he knew about his sister, Li Miaoyin.
Li Yanghui and his wife listened quietly, pain and sorrow gradually forming on their faces. They had never imagined that their disappearance would bring such immense pain to their daughter and granddaughter. Their daughter had endured a lifetime of suffering, and their granddaughter had also endured hardships. Thinking of this, they were filled with guilt and self-blame.
"Now that you're all back, it's time for us to return to the Li family and rebuild them." Li Yanghui sighed softly, his gaze slowly sweeping over the group. He knew full well that with the teleportation array destroyed and the spirit stone supply cut off, they could no longer remain here to feed the Pangu Spirit Tree with spiritual energy. Furthermore, the family had been wandering for years, and now that everyone had returned, it was a perfect time to regroup.
"My husband, if we leave like this, what will become of the Pangu trees that so many of us have painstakingly nurtured over so many generations? After all, only these trees can protect humanity." Li Yuanyao's eyes were filled with hesitation and reluctance. She stared intently at the Pangu trees, as if trying to imprint their image deeply in her mind. She knew full well that these Pangu trees were the fruit of her family's years of hard work and a vital force in protecting humanity. She couldn't bear the thought of leaving them like this.
"Protecting the world isn't just the Li family's responsibility; it's everyone's responsibility. Go back and rest assured. Everything will be fine here." Nangong Jingming was deeply moved by their dedication to protecting the Pangu Spirit Tree. He stepped forward, looked at the Li couple with a firm gaze, and spoke seriously. He knew that the Li family's years of hard work and sacrifice deserved a proper reward. He secretly resolved to report the situation truthfully and secure the proper reward for their contributions.
"Who are you?" Li Yanghui looked at Nangong Jingming, his eyes full of doubt. He noticed that this young man was not a member of the Li family, but his temperament and words and deeds revealed an extraordinary demeanor.
"Junior, Nangong Jingming, Su Siyi's fiancé." Nangong Jingming bowed slightly and said respectfully. There was a hint of pride in his voice, and his eyes were full of tenderness and love when he looked at Su Siyi.
Su Siyi looked at him, her heart trembling slightly, and her cheeks flushed instantly. Why did she feel that Nangong Jingming was so "shameless"! They weren't even engaged yet, so how could he become her fiancé? However, thinking that she had already agreed to his proposal, she felt a sweet feeling in her heart again.
"Oh, it's the little girl's fiancé. He looks good and his cultivation is pretty good too." Li Yanghui nodded slightly, his eyes showing admiration. He carefully looked at Nangong Jingming and found that his cultivation level was surprisingly comparable to his own, both at the Nascent Soul stage. His sons' cultivation levels were only at the late Golden Core stage. It was truly rare for these two youngsters to have such high cultivation levels at such a young age. He understood that Nangong Jingming had proactively disclosed his cultivation level to let them know that he and Su Siyi were both strong individuals, capable of protecting themselves and contributing to the family.
