Chapter 189 Old Friends on Earth
A century has passed.
When Chen Yuan returned, the blue planet was still as beautiful and captivating as he remembered.
However, upon closer inspection, the dense network of planetary defense systems surrounding Earth reveals significant changes over the years.
Of course, these defense systems were useless in Chen Yuan's eyes, since his Shiyuan Palace had been optimized to G9 level, and its own concealment device was the best among G-class spaceships.
However, he didn't intend to hide his whereabouts when he returned to Earth this time—it was just a side trip back to his hometown on the way to a mission, which was no big deal in the eyes of the company.
So he simply had Irene deactivate the spaceship's shielding. As the hatch opened, he flew directly out of the spaceship, his mental power instantly spreading out and enveloping the entire planet.
"Let me see where the black metal plate is—there are quite a few familiar faces on Earth."
As I scanned the realm of my mind, many familiar figures came to mind.
However, Chen Yuan had no time to deal with these things for the time being and continued to focus on searching for his target.
"The black metal sheet is ready!"
At the same time, because the Shiyuan Palace had been de-shielded, it was also detected by monitoring satellites, and alarms sounded one after another in major departments around the world.
Thunder Martial Arts School Headquarters.
A century has passed, and Thor, who has successfully reached the first level of the cosmic realm, now resides permanently on Earth.
"Thor, wake up, stop cultivating for now."
In the meditation room, the intelligent life form "Old Man Mist" suddenly appeared, interrupting Thor's meditation.
"Fog, what happened?"
Perhaps sensing the anxiety in the old man's tone, Thor did not blame him, but calmly said...
"Here's what happened: a spaceship of unknown origin suddenly appeared in outer space."
The old man in the fog had an unusually solemn expression. "The most terrifying thing is that our monitoring system didn't detect the spaceship until it was already above the Earth."
"This indicates that the other side's technology is far superior to Earth's defense system, so you should prepare in advance."
"I see. But don't worry, Lord Huyanbo has concealed the coordinates of the entire Milky Way galaxy with a spatial secret technique. Without breaking through this secret technique, it is impossible to accurately locate Earth's position."
Thor's tone was quite calm, though he was actually wondering who the other person was, as there weren't many people who possessed Earth's dark universe coordinates.
"Did the monitoring satellites take pictures?"
The old man in the fog immediately replied, "I took a picture—the spaceship hatch opened, and someone flew out!"
"Who is this person?" Thor asked curiously. "Fog, show me the picture."
"See, it was just a false alarm." The old man in the fog clearly recognized the figure outside the spaceship. After letting out a sigh of relief, he sent the photos taken by the monitoring satellite to Thor's personal computer.
Thor clicked on the photo, and Chen Yuan's figure appeared clearly in the picture, causing him to exclaim in surprise, "Chen Yuan?!"
The Luo family mansion.
Luo Hai, who had just returned to Earth after a space adventure, suddenly received a report from "Di Fan".
"Young master, the Luo family's Earth defense system has suddenly issued an alarm, detecting a spaceship of unknown origin."
"Spaceship? That's not my responsibility," Luo Hai said, puzzled. "Shouldn't you be asking my brother about things that involve Earth's safety?"
"Yes, young master, I have already reported to young master Luo Ping."
Di Fan smiled and said, "But just now, the monitoring system captured the image of the spaceship's owner. You know this person."
"I know him. Who is it?" Luo Hai nodded slightly. He had made many friends during his space adventures, but he had never revealed Earth's exact coordinates to anyone.
"Look." Difan directly activated the personal terminal, and a clear photo appeared on the projector.
"Chen Yuan?!" Luo Hai exclaimed in surprise upon recognizing the figure.
The news of Chen Yuan's return to Earth spread throughout the Earth's upper echelons, and his legendary experiences gradually became known to a select few.
In Yangzhou, inside the Luo family castle, several of Chen Yuan's old friends gathered to welcome his return from the universe.
"Well, kid, you're already at the ninth level of the Universe Realm!"
Thor, still dressed in his white robes and sporting his signature bald head, laughed and patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder: "I never imagined that the naive little guy from back then would achieve so much."
During this time, Chen Yuan had already given everyone a general account of his experiences after leaving Earth.
Everyone was stunned to learn that during the more than one hundred years since Chen Yuan disappeared, he had somehow managed to rise through the ranks from the Black Dragon Mountain branch to the core level via the internal channels of the Virtual Universe Company.
"Good heavens, you've been missing for so long, so you went to Chaos City."
Luo Hai couldn't help but say, "Doesn't that mean you've met my dad in real life?"
"Yeah." Chen Yuan found Luo Hai's reaction a bit strange. "Didn't Brother Luo tell you about me?"
"Brother Luo, Brother Luo."
Luo Hai noticed this form of address, and his lips twitched slightly.
He never expected that his childhood friend would suddenly be a generation older than him, and said helplessly, "Then I have to call you Uncle Chen."
"Hey, your dad specifically requested that. He doesn't like it when I call him Uncle Luo." Chen Yuan waved his hand. "Let's keep to ourselves."
"Alright." Luo Hai sighed, then continued, "As you know, my dad is a cultivation fanatic. Since we entered Chaos City, we only see each other occasionally in the virtual universe."
"And even when we meet, we mainly talk about things happening on Earth; Dad rarely talks about the situation in Chaos City."
At this point, Luo Hai shook his head: "So, I didn't know you had also entered Chaos City."
"I can vouch for that," Thor added. "After the third brother entered Chaos City, things were fine at first, and we would see each other almost every year. But later, he would go into seclusion for several years at a time, and in the primordial universe, we would only see each other once every ten years or so."
"Regarding your matter, I guess the third brother thought you had already told us, so he didn't talk about it further."
Thor shook his head as he spoke: "And we never expected you to be in contact with the third brother, so we never asked about it." "I see." Chen Yuan finally understood, and he was also a little helpless: "I thought Brother Luo would tell you about my situation, so I didn't mention it in the email."
The three looked at each other, then smiled. Thor remarked, "No matter what, we humans have produced another super genius. The stronger you are, the safer Earth will be."
"By the way, Chen Yuan," Luo Hai suddenly asked, "Do you know what my dad's been up to lately? He hasn't logged into the virtual universe in a long time."
"I know, Brother Luo is on a training mission," Chen Yuan replied. Seeing the worry on Luo Hai's face, he smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, with Brother Luo's strength, he won't be in any danger."
Hearing this, Luo Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Is that so? That's good then."
"By the way, Chen Yuan," Wei Wen asked curiously, "I heard you say earlier that the training of members within the Virtual Universe Company is very rigorous, right? Won't there be any problems with you suddenly returning to Earth?"
"It's not a big problem." Chen Yuan smiled. "I was on a cultivation mission and just happened to be passing through Earth, so I came back to take a look."
"So how long do you plan to stay on Earth?" Luo Hai asked.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan glanced at the panel, which displayed:
[Data collection in progress, current progress: 87%]
So he smiled and said, "It won't be long, I'll be leaving soon."
