# Chapter 1756: Returning Home
Jiangnan raised his hand and stuffed the Spirit-Severing Pillar directly into his Alternate Dimension!
After advancing to Starlight, Jiangnan's Alternate Dimension had grown larger as well, becoming a massive space ten thousand meters in both length and width!
He could barely fit the Spirit-Severing Pillar in diagonally!
During the time traveling through the Dimensional Gap, Jiangnan hadn't wasted any time either. He absorbed the hundred or so Dimension Pearls he had obtained!
His rank had already reached Starlight Two!
Now Jiangnan urgently wanted to return to Huaxia, not knowing what was happening there!
He grabbed Mountain Cat and rushed toward the elevator that led straight to Silver Moon City!
Baldr said anxiously: (ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ"Hey~ You still haven't told me how you got into my Alternate Dimension!"
Jiangnan didn't look back: "That's not important. Take care of the moon, or I'll steal all your belongings!"
Baldr's face darkened as he shuddered violently. How was that not important?
But as if he had made some decision, his expression hardened!
"Then how about you give me the door key? I want to go up there too now!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes in exasperation:
(๑꒪ͦ～꒪ͦ)"I offered it to you before and you didn't want it. Now that I've used it up, you want it again!"
"Don't have it anymore! You'll have to break through the door yourself!"
With that, the elevator shot upward rapidly and disappeared in an instant!
Baldr's eyes went wide. Gone... gone?
Didn't he have one portion before? He didn't get it?
Was it too late to take the regret medicine now?
In the elevator, Jiangnan paced anxiously!
Ever since he got lost in the Dimensional Gap, he had no idea what was happening outside!
He didn't know how Xuexue, Lang Mie, and the others were doing, whether Odin had escaped, or if Carl had made his move!
What was the situation in Huaxia? Jiangnan's heart felt like it was being roasted over fire with anxiety!
If it weren't for his overwhelming worry, Jiangnan would definitely have spent some time roaming the Dimensional Gap, grinding monsters to level up, and might even have sneaked into the Lost Kingdom for a visit!
But with things like this outside, how could Jiangnan be at ease?
He wished he could fly back to Huaxia immediately, even if one person alone couldn't do much under the current global spirit calamity!
But Jiangnan still wanted to rush back and fight, if only to calm his heart a little!
Mountain Cat held Jiangnan's hand, gently comforting him.
-`(๑ớ～ờ)ھ"Don't worry! Huaxia will make it through. It definitely will!"
Jiangnan took a deep breath and nodded heavily. Just then, his phone vibrated!
He quickly pulled it out. Now that he was out, he was finally back in service range!
The first message he received was a text from Chen Daoyi!
When he saw the content, Jiangnan froze for a moment, unable to come to his senses for a long time...
His head buzzed, and his ears rang!
The message had been sent several hours ago, and Jiangnan only received it after coming out of the Dimensional Gap!
Too late! He couldn't make it in time...
When he saw the content of the message, Jiangnan knew that Chen Daoyi was probably done for. His eyes reddened, and the veins on his forehead bulged!
When someone you know quietly slips away from before your eyes, there's an illusion that none of this is real!
Then memories of them surge like a tidal wave!
Their past clashes and schemes, the battle in the Western Frontier, going to the moon together, fighting the Pupil Race together... He thought the old man would keep accompanying him all the way until the day of victory!
But he quietly left halfway through...
Jiangnan leaned weakly against the elevator, flickering lights casting shadows across his face. His eyes grew moist.
"You damn old man... Don't just die on me! Who am I supposed to use as a combat power unit now?"
His clenched fists showed bulging veins!
If even Chen Daoyi was like this, what about the elders and grannies from the Nursing Home?
Had curing their Dao injuries and hidden ailments been helping them or harming them?
After a global spirit calamity, how many familiar faces would leave?
Mountain Cat bit her lower lip. She didn't know what to say to comfort Jiangnan. She just silently wiped away the teardrops at the corner of his eyes, staying quiet...
Jiangnan took another deep breath, his eyes showing unprecedented ferocity!
"One by one, these accounts... blood debts! I will settle them all with the Saint Star and the Ten Thousand Races sooner or later!"
Jiangnan directly dialed Yang Jian's number, wanting to understand the current situation!
But under the influence of the Black Barrier, satellites were falling one after another, and the signal was intermittent!
It took Jiangnan several tries to get through!
As soon as the call connected, deafening artillery fire and explosions came from the other end, along with harsh static!
Yang Jian's voice carried surprise: "...Not dead? Back...? That... crackle..."
The voice cut in and out, and Jiangnan could only make out a few vague words!
He asked urgently: "Not dead. I'm back! How's Huaxia? Where do you need people? Do you need help? I can come!"
Yang Jian: "Critical all along the front. Can't send support everywhere. You go... go to... Jiangcheng. Over there has... click..."
The call suddenly dropped. Since he was on the moon, the signal was full, but no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't get through again!
"Hello? What about Jiangcheng? Brother Jian?"
The phone had completely become a brick. Jiangnan only heard Yang Jian telling him to go to Jiangcheng, that they needed support there!
Jiangnan was burning with anxiety. That was his hometown!
He had lived there for over a decade. Although he hadn't had time to go back in recent years, Jiangcheng meant an extraordinary amount to Jiangnan!
The "Jiang" in his name came from the Jiang of Jiangcheng!
"Ding!"
The elevator arrived. As soon as the door opened, Jiangnan was stunned by the scene before him!
The entire Joint Base was packed with people as far as the eye could see!
On the Star Ring Plaza, the three-hundred-meter Star Ring was pouring people in frantically!
All were being transferred from the E Guo side!
Meanwhile, the Star Gate Hall was also operating at full capacity, with Huaxia sending people to the moon through the Star Gate!
As soon as people saw Jiangnan come out, they became excited!
After all, the name "Southern God" was known to everyone on Lan Xing!
"Southern God! What's happening on Lan Xing? When will this spirit calamity end?"
"Can we still go home? Does humanity still have a future?"
"Can you help me find my son? We got separated during the evacuation. Please!"
The surging crowd immediately surrounded Jiangnan, everyone's faces filled with fear and anxiety!
Jiangnan's expression stiffened. He never imagined the Joint Base would be in such a state!
He took a deep breath and teleported up into the air!
"Everyone, don't panic! Don't be afraid! Nothing is over yet! As long as you firmly believe there will be a future, then humanity still has a future!"
"Lan Xing is humanity's homeland! We will not abandon our homeland, abandon our home!"
"Be patient! We will make it through. Dawn will come eventually!"
Jiangnan himself didn't know what humanity's future would be, but for now, this was all he could do to comfort everyone, to give his all and fight!
"Uncle Jiang? Where are you, Uncle Jiang?"
At the Star Gate Hall, Jiang Tianchen waved: "Over here! Why are you on the moon?"
Jiangnan teleported over with his people: "How many more people can the moon accommodate?"
They walked and talked as they moved!
Jiang Tianchen: "No problem here for now. The Alliance Base has taken shape after expanding recently. It can accommodate quite a few refugees!"
"But I don't know what's wrong with Lan Xing. The signal comes and goes. We've lost contact. Quite a few satellites have gone offline and fallen. The ones on the moon side are still operational!"
Jiangnan frowned deeply. Even if the beast tide had destroyed signal stations and communication cables, satellites should still work, right?
The communication being cut off was a huge problem. He didn't know if it was another trick by the Saint Star!
"What about the Pupil Race? What have Xiaohetao and the others been doing?"
Jiang Tianchen: "They were sent to support various cities on Lan Xing earlier. After all, the Pupil Race handles spirit beasts more than capably!"
Jiangnan nodded and strode toward the Star Gate: "I'll leave things here to you, Uncle Jiang. I'm going back to reinforce Lan Xing. See you later!"
With that, he grabbed Mountain Cat and Liu Mang and rushed into the Star Gate, disappearing!
Jiang Tianchen watched Jiangnan's retreating figure and sighed.
"Times are going to be rewritten by this event..."
When Jiangnan appeared again, he was already at the Haishang Celestial Bureau!
Many Pupil Race members were stationed here to hold the line, so the situation was slightly better!
Without wasting any time, Jiangnan pulled the two along and teleported rapidly toward Jiangcheng!
Everywhere he looked, there were unfolded Spirit Realms and rampaging beast hordes!
The once peaceful and harmonious scene was gone, shattered beyond recognition. He couldn't even find a trace of familiarity!
The world was shrouded in death!
The further Jiangnan traveled, the darker his expression became!
He passed several cities that were still holding out, but he didn't stop!
Because as Yang Jian had said, there was no way to support everyone!
Jiangnan could only use the fastest speed to get back to Jiangcheng!
Along the way, Jiangnan also saw several cities that had already been ravaged by the beast tide!
These were the ones that couldn't hold. The only survivors were those who had evacuated into the Spirit Realms in advance!
Corpses littered the fields, blood flowed for a thousand miles, bones were exposed and entrails strewn about, with not a trace of light to be seen...
Jiangnan closed his eyes in pain at one point, unable to bear looking!
Jiangnan, who had never believed in ghosts or gods, even began to pray. Pray that Jiangcheng wouldn't end up like this!
He didn't want that city, filled with his memories and laughter, his hometown, to disappear, to the point where even recalling it would be too painful to bear!
Please, let me make it in time!
