At the same time, several figures successively emerged from the golden light.
Among them, a woman walked to Yangjian’s side and lamented, "I can’t believe that the once flourishing Erlang Shrine at Guankou has turned into this!"
"But this is already not too bad, after all, Empress sister, you don’t even have your own shrine anymore!" Another woman from behind remarked.
The voice was gentle and melodious, yet full of indescribable authority.
The old shrine keeper couldn’t help but secretly glance up, only to see two women, resembling fairy maidens, walking closer.
Both were enveloped in a golden light, and just one look had deeply shocked the old shrine keeper’s heart, making him bow his head deeply and not dare to look again.
That’s right!
The ones who came were indeed Yangjian, Xiao Tian, along with Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, Ao Shu, and their group.
After previously following Xiao Tian to find their heart’s desire, they returned to Earth.
But just as they were beginning to attend to their matters, they encountered Xue An, and many things happened again.
Especially the quest for the time-space stones, which consumed a vast majority of Yangjian’s and others’ energies.
Until Xue An found traces of another time-space stone on Mars with Zhang Tianyou and informed them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterward, they began to return to their respective homes.
However, they realized the truth that times had changed only after going home.
Because the deities of the Hua Clan in this disrupted timeline were all altered into fictitious existences, leading to a decline in their faith after cultivation prospered.
This caused many deities’ original shrines to be abandoned, including the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.
Ironically, Yangjian was quite fortunate to still retain this small temple.
As for Ao Shu.
The reason she hadn’t appeared during this time was because of her reluctant determination to visit the Dragon Ancestral Land alone.
As expected, she found that her existence was indeed nonexistent in this world.
Even when standing before her sister, she was completely unrecognized.
Dishearted and disappointed, Ao Shu returned to Earth and then gathered with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and others.
In fact, she intended to go to Mars to find Xue An, but Xue An, Zhang Tianyou, and others had already left, leaving a message asking her, Yangjian, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady to remain on Earth to defend it.
That is why they are gathered together now.
Yangjian approached the elderly shrine keeper kneeling on the ground and gently said, "I’ve heard the words you spoke earlier. You are doing very well, please rise!"
The old shrine keeper was moved beyond measure.
No follower can remain calm after seeing the deity they have worshipped their entire life standing in front of them.
This old shrine keeper was no exception.
As he shakily lifted his head, he exclaimed, "Erlang Lord, is it really you?"
Yangjian nodded and reached out to assist him personally.
The old shrine keeper, feeling as if honored beyond measure, shakily stood upright, but due to his age and excessive excitement, his breathing became rapid.
Seeing this, Yangjian’s vertical eye flashed with golden light, which then entered the old shrine keeper’s body.
Instantly, the elderly shrine keeper felt warmth flowing through him, while his bones emitted cracking sounds.
In mere moments, the old shrine keeper transformed from a man nearing his end to a youthful appearance.
This miracle brought tears of gratitude to the old shrine keeper’s eyes.
Yangjian comforted him with kind words, only then did he calm down.
Then Yangjian stepped out of the Erlang Shrine, in front lay a vast river.
Huyue pouted, "It sounds so fearsome, yet wasn’t it completely defeated by Old Xue in one move on Earth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, piercing alarms blared suddenly.
Huyue was stunned.
Zhang Tianyou reacted swiftly, immediately shouting, "What’s happening?"
His personal computer promptly responded.
"We just linked to the radar monitoring system of Saint Diss and found a large enemy presence!"
Zhang Tianyou glanced at Huyue, "Do you still believe it won’t attack?"
With that, Zhang Tianyou immediately turned and left.
Meanwhile, the entire Saint Diss started bustling with activity.
In the command room, Wei Rulan, also seated in a wheelchair, looked at the screen densely filled with overwhelming light dots, her expression growing more serious.
"I didn’t expect it to come so quickly!"
With that, she ordered sternly, "Initiate the first wave of strikes!"
At her command, all ships aimed their turrets at the incoming light points.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, the firing of cannons wiped out the light points that had filled the entire screen.
Seeing this, Huyue, who had just entered the command room, couldn’t help but rejoice.
"Looks like it’s not... ."
Before he could finish pronouncing his mistake, innumerable light dots once again appeared, their density so great they completely illuminated the monitor screen.
