After returning to Zhang City, Lin Qianxuan took a brief rest, then prepared to cleanse the remaining impurities and muddy spirits from the world.

This was a massive undertaking, but with Wanxiang, it wouldn’t actually take much time.

Basically, Wanxiang would clear the way while he took a tour around the world.

The size of Great Qian Country surpassed Xuan Country; however, in contrast to Earth, it was still considerably smaller.

According to the game, it would take up to half a month at most.

But this time, Lin Qianxuan was not alone in this task; he was accompanied by the Gongsun sisters.

Although Zhang City was in ruins and many things needed to be handled.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t care about any of that.

He simply wanted to take a break with the Gongsun sisters.

Besides, with so many issues, the current situation was lacking people everywhere, no need to rush—what’s the point?

Without taking the Flying Ship, Lin Qianxuan personally transformed into a dragon, rising into the clouds, and began touring the entire Great Qian with the two women.

Gongsun Yue planned the route, Lin Qianxuan led the way.

They journeyed through scenic landscapes, cultivated a bit, and conveniently battled the muddy spirits.

Compared to the monsters in Kyoto, the external muddy spirits were so weak that Lin Qianxuan didn’t know what to say.

Even the Muddy Spirit King had few matches against him.

The remaining muddy spirits couldn’t withstand the sucking power of Wanxiang.

At the Divine Wood Valley base.

Here, a towering ancient tree over a thousand meters tall had been corrupted, becoming the strongest local Muddy Spirit King.

Lin Qianxuan sat high on the clouds, sword pointing forward.

Whirr-whirr-whirr-whirr~!

A total of two hundred seventy thousand spirit swords entangled and streamed down with the water.

The impact of the Sword Waterfall was overwhelmingly exaggerated; the ancient tree couldn’t form any effective defense, and its crown was shredded.

Lin Qianxuan raised his hand, casting Wanxiang, which spun in a circle, absorbing all the impurities within the range of Divine Wood Valley.

Before long, within Wanxiang, thousands of units of True Essence energy appeared directly.

“Reaching Divine Wood Valley now, according to the route, in another two days, it’ll mostly be cleansed!” Lin Qianxuan murmured.

Currently, Wanxiang contained over eighty billion units of True Essence, with one True Essence equivalent to ten billion units of Spiritual Essence.

And Lin Qianxuan had traversed more than ninety percent of Great Qian Country’s lands.

These True Essences were the accumulation of the world since the muddy calamity over twenty years.

Lin Qianxuan hadn’t decided how to utilize them yet, feeling he could think about it later.

Descending from the sky, Lin Qianxuan returned to the Gongsun sisters waiting by his side.

They were playing and splashing by a lakeside, a super lake in Divine Wood Valley created over hundreds of years for watering many divine woods and plants. It was previously stained black by impurities, now cleared and transparent thanks to Lin Qianxuan’s cleansing.

Seeing the two women enjoying the water, Lin Qianxuan was about to speak when Gongsun Yue splashed water on his face.

He laughed and quickly joined in.

Who could beat him at playing in the water?

So soon enough, the sisters united against him, deciding to play Dragon Knight once again.

Beneath the moon, the three of them lay on an ancient ship.

“There are even stars in your sky,” Lin Qianxuan suddenly remarked.

“Is there none in your world, Sir?” Gongsun Yue asked.

“There are, but those stars are worlds like ours—some inhabited, and some uninhabited,” Lin Qianxuan replied. “Has anyone explored those stars?”

“According to records, those are Outer Realms. Divine Martial Great Emperor visited them once, but upon returning, he said they were merely gigantic meteorites reflecting the light of sun and moon. The first head of the Celestial Craft Institute, Yang Zimo, reportedly collected Outer Heaven Divine Iron while constructing the Divine Machine,” Gongsun Yue answered.

“I see,” Lin Qianxuan realized.

In fact, the celestial phenomena of this world puzzled him even further.

The moon in the sky was singular, which also intrigued Lin Qianxuan.

On Earth, the sky boasted over thirty moons.

Aside from the initial moon, each represented other worlds.

Yet here, there was solely a single moon.

He mused, contemplating: inter-world devouring?

Could Earth be devouring other worlds?

Seemed very likely…

“Do you miss home, Sir Lin?” Gongsun Ying softly asked.

Lin Qianxuan, hearing this, finally remembered that he had set up himself with the Gongsun sisters as someone who didn’t know when he could return after crossing over.

In fact, according to Otherworld Bureau theories, after traveling, he could return within a few months.

Once he had crossed over once, returning again was easy.

For now, he didn’t plan to disclose this to the Gongsun sisters.

Time was still plentiful, allowing more than a month before returning—no need to worry.

“A little, but with you two here, I forget about it,” Lin Qianxuan said, holding Gongsun Ying and Gongsun Yue in his arms and taking a deep breath, “This will be my second home.”

Gongsun Ying and Gongsun Yue leaned against Lin Qianxuan’s broad chest, smiling warmly.

Time advanced by three days.

Lin Qianxuan had essentially purged all impurities in Great Qian Country; the remaining ones could be easily dissolved by the essence of sun and moon.

He led the Gongsun sisters back to Zhang City.

At this time, in addition to the original rebel army, there were more people in Zhang City.

They were exploration teams dispatched by those who had fled overseas at the beginning.

They first arrived in Kyoto, and only after getting news about the rebel army there did they come to Zhang City, wanting to discuss with Gongsun Ying and Lin Qianxuan, and also to probe the situation.

In the Gao Mansion’s living room, Gongsun Ying sat at the head, with Lin Qianxuan seated to her left, and Gongsun Yue to her right.

Originally, Gongsun Ying wanted Lin Qianxuan to sit in the middle, but Lin Qianxuan had no intention of being the central figure. For him, this world could only count as half a homeland; he would eventually go back, so he was not suited to be the key person.

Gongsun Ying was very fitting for the role.

From any aspect, Gongsun Ying was the most outstanding.

A young man in green clothing entered the living room, cupped his hands, and respectfully said to Gongsun Ying, “Gu Family’s Gu Mi, greets General Gongsun, Mister Lin, and Lady Yue.”

“Please sit.” Gongsun Ying nodded and said.

Gu Mi was a smart person, and he had inquired about the identities of the three in advance.

Initially, he thought that Lin Qianxuan should be the main figure, but now finding Gongsun Ying seated first, he roughly understood many things in his heart.

“General Gongsun, in the face of the Muddy Calamity, we had no choice but to flee overseas. Now that the rebel army and Mister Lin, General Gongsun, and others have calmed the calamity, I am truly in awe.”

Right from the start, Gu Mi didn’t immediately discuss matters but first flattered them a little and then beautified their previous escape as an act of no choice.

Well, it was indeed helpless.

But they never considered resistance from beginning to end either.

“Since the Gu Family has already settled overseas and sent you, Gu Mi, back, what important matter do you have?” Gongsun Ying asked indifferently.

These words already carried a questioning tone.

You ran away back then, so now do you want to come back and reap the benefits? Do you deserve it?

“As Great Qian citizens, we naturally yearn for the Great Qian more,” Gu Mi maintained his smile, saying, “Only the land of the Great Qian is where we truly belong. Now, with everything in ruins, we wish to return. The many talents, seeds, and various classics we’ve gathered and preserved should be shared with you.”

“Share?” Gongsun Ying looked at Gu Mi and said.

Hearing this, Gu Mi’s mind raced with thoughts.

Although he had heard of Gongsun Ying and Mister Lin’s great strength, he did not know the specific details.

Therefore, he would use the word ‘share.’

Otherwise, it should be an offering or a slight contribution.

He thought the rebel army couldn’t consume such a large piece of Great Qian land, and everyone could cooperate and develop together, each occupying their own side in the end.

But looking at the situation now, Gongsun Ying seemed to disagree with such divisions.

“I hold no authority within the family to make decisions. What does General Gongsun think?” Gu Mi tentatively asked.

“Since you fled back then, why return?” Gongsun Ying said, “If you wish to return, you must show sincerity! Go back, discuss it well, and then come to me.”

“I understand.” Gu Mi stood up and respectfully said.

“Let me see you off.” Lin Qianxuan stood up and said.

“Thank you, Mister Lin.” Gu Mi cupped his hands and said.

The group gathered, with mixed expressions among them.

Some were dissatisfied with Gongsun Ying’s arrogant attitude, while others were confused, not understanding where the rebel army’s confidence came from.

However, the children of the aristocratic families had profound self-control, and especially these elites among elites did not show any emotions.

Immediately, the group boarded the flying ship intending to return and report.

The flying ship soared into the sky, and halfway there, someone turned back, showing a look of terror.

“What is that?”

They saw Lin Qianxuan manifesting a hundred-meter-tall Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Spirit Swords, stepping on an eight-kilometer-tall monstrous wave, smiling as he sent off Gu Mi and the others.

Witnessing this scene, the flying ship accelerated to its peak, but they still couldn’t outrun Lin Qianxuan.

Fortunately, Lin Qianxuan was merely intimidating them, not actually intending to keep them.

It was only when Lin Qianxuan’s figure vanished that Gu Mi and the others exchanged horrified glances.

“Brother Zhang, did you capture it on image?”

“Yes…”

“This Mister Lin from the Outer Realm, his strength is far beyond what those people described? He’s likely comparable to the Divine Martial Great Emperor!!”

“Could it be fake?”

“Could such divine energy and Primordial Spirit Power breath be fake? Don’t deceive yourself now! My legs feel weak, give me a hand…..”

“Then shall we just bow our heads and serve? Wouldn’t it be better to stay overseas….”

“Short-sighted! To bow and serve under a mighty figure comparable to the Divine Martial Great Emperor, how great will our future achievements be? Currently, there are few capable individuals in the rebel army, even if there’s a reckoning, it will certainly not be too harsh. Great Qian is devastated by calamities, our going there will surely let us accomplish much…..”

…..

Lin Qianxuan returned to the living room, Gongsun Ying stood up to welcome him, saying, “Mister Lin, you’re back? How did it go?”

“I scared them off.” Lin Qianxuan said with a smile.

“Sir, they would be of good assistance to us. Why frighten them like that?” Gongsun Yue puzzledly asked.

“They are fence sitters, give them something formidable, and in the future, if they want to sit on the fence again, they must weigh the pros and cons.” Lin Qianxuan said.

In fact, it wasn’t really like that; it was just that in a game simulation, Lin Qianxuan had asked for their help, and they refused him, so he held a grudge.

Even if he eventually needed them, he would have a little fun with them to please himself.

However, upon hearing Lin Qianxuan’s words, the Gongsun sisters nodded approvingly.

Though the Muddy Calamity had passed, who could tell what future disasters or enemies might arise. If those people were in high positions and fled at that time, it would indeed be a serious blow to them.
