# Chapter 2367: Returning Home in Glory
Jiangnan had never seen Dazhi this excited before, and he didn't dare delay. He immediately led everyone to rush over at warp speed toward the space node where the planet had disappeared!
Yet they found nothing at all. The space was eerily silent, as if the existence and disappearance of that golden planet had never interacted with this starry expanse at all!
Jiangnan was dumbfounded: Σ(°△°|||) "What the hell? A planet this big—about a hundred thousand kilometers in diameter—just vanished into thin air?"
"Could it be a Celestial Star Race? Is the planet itself alive? Did it teleport away? But that can't be right either! There isn't the slightest spatial fluctuation!"
In the starry sky, there were naturally formed space wormholes. If a planet accidentally wandered into one, it might cross an unimaginably vast distance and appear in another star domain!
But if that were really the case, Jiangnan, being a Space System user, would have definitely noticed!
Wang Youzhi's eyes gleamed with excitement:
(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "It's not a Celestial Star Race, and it's not simply disappearing like that. Maybe... maybe this planet never belonged here in the first place!"
"This really is a treasure discovery. Even though it's the suburbs of the starry sky, there are still some good things here! We've hit the jackpot!"
Jiangnan was confused. Never belonged here?
Then where could it have belonged? Not a teleport, no spatial fluctuations—how did this golden planet vanish? And where did it go?
Mila tilted her head, staring blankly at the space node where the golden planet had disappeared.
Earlier, she had felt an indescribable discomfort when looking at the golden planet—something she couldn't articulate—but that feeling had vanished along with the planet itself.
She had no idea what was going on either.
Wang Youzhi turned to Chong Feiyu: "What about those insect swarms? You sent a squad to explore the golden planet earlier, right?"
Chong Feiyu shook her head in equal confusion: "I've completely lost contact. I can't even sense their pheromone receipts. Strange..."
Her own insect swarms—even those she'd left at the Starry Sky Mine, so far away—she could still control.
But the batch sent to explore the golden planet was completely beyond her perception, as if they'd vanished along with the golden planet!
Wang Youzhi looked mysteriously:
(｡･ˇกˇ･｡:) "As I expected? I hope my guess is right. Chong Feiyu, keep an eye on this spot for me!"
"Based on its orbital path, its trajectory isn't entirely random. One day in the future, this planet might come wandering back!"
"It could be a very long time, or it might not take long at all. When it returns, be sure to notify me, okay?"
Though Chong Feiyu didn't know what this meant, she still nodded:
"Then I'll set up a nest here. If those exploring insect swarms didn't die, they'll hunker down in place since they can't receive my commands!"
"If they come back, I'll definitely know!"
Jiangnan grabbed Wang Youzhi and raised an eyebrow:
(๑◔◡◔ิ๑) "Hey hey hey—tell me? What's so special about that golden planet? Why do you care so much?"
"Where did that planet wander off to? It can't just vanish into thin air, can it?"
Wang Youzhi looked smug:
(◕ˇ～ˇ◕) "It's all just speculation. Back in the Great Wilderness Era, when I was bored and looking down at the Third Dimension, I happened to see this phenomenon a few times."
"But even now, those disappeared planets haven't come back. You should be grateful you didn't just rush over to explore directly earlier, or you'd be gone too!"
"If that golden planet really does return, it'll verify my guess. It's none of your business. With your weak strength, you still want to know so much? Just keep climbing up step by step!"
Jiangnan's face darkened. The Great Wilderness Era—planets that wandered off back then and still haven't returned?
The Great Wilderness Era was over ten billion years ago, right?
When the Black God said "a long time," he really meant a long time!
Seeing that Wang Youzhi wouldn't say more, Jiangnan pouted and didn't ask further. Chong Feiyu started busy setting up the nest.
Matters like insect swarm evolution and reproduction also needed to be put on the agenda.
At that time, the Celestial Palace Star System would establish a dedicated troop transport channel, connecting all star systems within the Milky Way Star Domain!
This would ensure the Feiyu Insect Swarm could be deployed to any star system at any time to suppress invaders!
The entire Milky Way Star Domain would be brought under Chong Feiyu's protection!
After the nesting was taken care of, Jiangnan didn't linger. When he heard Jiangnan was going back to Lan Xing, Chong Feiyu wanted to come along too.
After all, she now counted as a human. It would be good to learn more about human civilization, customs, and culture!
So she left her main body here to guard the nest and created a guard insect swarm to follow Jiangnan!
Jiangnan and his group went straight back to the Dimensional Gap, heading directly for the Solar System's Lan Xing above the Lost Kingdom!
As a native Lan Xingian, Jiangnan never felt at home on any other planet.
Only Lan Xing—that unremarkable blue planet—was his true home!
Since the start of the Star Ruins War, Jiangnan had drifted in the starry sky long enough. It was time to go home and see.
There were still six months until the first round of the Sequence War, the Cosmos Grand Hunt, was set to begin—not very ample time.
Jiangnan didn't plan to wander anymore. He'd return to Lan Xing and prepare properly for the war, improve his combat power, and strive to level up a few more ranks!
After all, Jiangnan already had many trump cards in hand. The real task was to learn them, use them flexibly, and make them truly his own!
His second domain hadn't been unlocked yet, and he still hadn't returned the wife he'd helped the Triangle Fatty kidnap!
He also missed Sister Jiangning. There was just too much to do!
Lost in thought, they had already arrived at the Solar System above the Lost Kingdom. At a glance, they saw that blue planet!
Chong Feiyu asked curiously: (๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Humans started from this planet? No way? It's this small?"
Compared to the massive planets in the starry sky, Lan Xing was indeed a bit tiny!
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: (꒪ั～꒪ั*) "A sparrow may be small, but it has all the vital organs, okay? Just follow me properly. You've got a lot of human cultural essence to learn!"
Xia Yao nodded repeatedly. With Chong Feiyu's intelligence, it probably wouldn't be long before her level of swearing was maxed out!
Just then, Chong Feiyu seemed to see something unbelievable. Her eyes were full of shock!
∑(°口°๑)☛ "J-J-Jiangnan! That... that satellite of Lan Xing—the one emitting blue light—is that the Origin Light?"
Jiangnan said matter-of-factly:
ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "The moon? Yeah? What's wrong? The moon's core is a giant Origin Stone. The moon orbits Lan Xing, continuously bathing it in light 24/7. Pretty cool, right?"
Chong Feiyu's mouth fell wide open:
(๑ʘ̅口ʘ̅๑) "How did you guys get such a big piece of Origin Stone? Doesn't the Sacred Law Council care? Sigh..."
"This is paradise for me!"
Origin Stone, which could enable rapid species evolution, was a priceless treasure for Chong Feiyu, okay?
Jiangnan said proudly: (︶ꇴ︶〃) "Look at you, acting like you've never seen anything before! This is nothing. But back then, lighting up the Blue Moon wasn't easy!"
"What are you standing there for? Let's go?"
Chong Feiyu was genuinely shocked. An Origin Spark made into a satellite?
In the entire starry sky, humans were the only ones who enjoyed this treatment, right?
Right now, Jiangnan felt a strange nervousness about approaching home. He hadn't been back in so long—he wondered how Lan Xing had changed!
Without a second thought, he led everyone straight into Lan Xing's atmosphere!
Fresh air rushed into their lungs. Before them lay a vast blue ocean, its waves rippling. The spiritual energy was terrifyingly dense!
Humanity had entered the interstellar age. Problems like waste management, global warming, and other environmental issues were no longer problems at all. The planet's environmental state was always maintained at its peak!
Vaguely, they could see towering pillars rising above the oceans and lands, with runes flickering on them!
Nowadays, spirit warriors called them Heaven-Reaching Towers, Endless Towers!
The entrances to various Spirit Ruins had been centralized and unified. Each city had an Endless Tower, where adventuring spirit warriors could enter Spirit Ruins of any difficulty level!
It was no longer the old model—a brand new, mature system had formed. Incidents like spirit calamities no longer occurred!
This kind of planning was something Jiangnan had proposed at the high-level joint conference back in the day!
Now it had become reality!
Jiangnan was a little excited:
(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "Where should we go first?"
Zhong Yingxue tilted her head: (∗❛ั◡❛ั) "Let's go to Rongcheng Pioneer Academy. Yu Qingqing and Rabbit Baby said it's been rebuilt!"
"Now it's the global training base for the young generation—Lan Xing's highest institution!"
Jiangnan's eyes sparkled: (*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Oh? Rebuilt? Let's go check it out! It's this way, right?"
Following the direction in his memory, Jiangnan teleported everyone there instantly!
With Jiangnan's current abilities, he could reach any location on Lan Xing in one second!
...
Rongcheng, having recovered from the scars of the global spirit calamity back then, was now completely rebuilt. It had fully developed into a highly technological modern metropolis!
Aerospace trains, anti-gravity cars, holographic billboards—things they'd never dared to imagine before were now all realized!
And as the city housing Lan Xing's highest institution, Pioneer Academy, three Endless Towers had been erected, serving as training grounds for students and spirit warriors!
Pioneer Academy, which had been rebuilt countless times, still stood on its original site, but its scale was far beyond what it used to be!
Right now, it was the annual admissions season. The younger generation gathered from all over the globe had just completed the entrance selection for Pioneer Academy!
In the Spirit Ruins, the senior students had played cat and mouse with them, giving them a good beating. Those who passed the selection became freshmen; those who didn't had to go back to their local spirit martial universities for study!
Now, several instructors were leading the new students on a tour of the academy buildings, helping them familiarize themselves with the campus environment!
