At the birthday party,
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, as in previous years, were exchanging gifts with each other.
The former gave the latter a silk dress that he had tailored himself, the craftsmanship of which was far superior to any top designer in the world, making Li Chuxin, a peer, green with envy.
Shen Qinghan gave him a painting depicting twenty pairs of men and women, each pair representing a year they had grown up together, a special extravagance.
Amid the jeers of everyone present, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan embraced and kissed, leaving behind a photo worth remembering.

After the birthday party,
Liu Chuanwu came over with a glass of red wine and asked Lin Zichen, âZi Chen, youâve been in the Origin Land for a whole three months, do you have any news of the Pavilion Master?â
As soon as these words were uttered, Yuan Dongzhi, Song Yuyan, and Li Chuxin all looked over, deeply concerned about this matter.
Lin Zichen, teasing the sister he held in his arms, calmly replied, âThe news Iâve gathered is that the Pavilion Master has refined many Exotic Beasts below, then broke into a ruin.â
âWhat ruin?â
Liu Chuanwu was an archaeologist, who had devoted nearly half his life to the study of ruins and was very interested in the one mentioned by Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen put down his sister to let her crawl around and said, âIâm not too clear on the specifics, I heard this from the City Lord of City No. 1, and thatâs all he told me.â

âI seeâŠâ
Liu Chuanwu nodded his head, not inquiring further.
At this moment, Yuan Dongzhi asked, âHow do the two of you get along with Qianxue in the Origin Land?â
Lin Zichen, âWe havenât had much interaction.â
Upon hearing this, Yuan Dongzhi showed understanding, âThat child is somewhat reclusive, hardly anyone can get along with her.â
Having said that, she asked another question, âDoes Qianxue not remember you two?â
Shen Qinghan replied, âYes, Sister Apprentice doesnât remember Lin Zi or me at all, only saying our names sound a bit familiar.â
âI seeâŠâ
Yuan Dongzhi nodded her head just like Liu Chuanwu had earlier, showing a married coupleâs synchrony.
Lin Zichen turned to Yuan Dongzhi and asked, âBy the way, Principal Yuan, howâs the public safety on Earth now, has it improved from before?â
Qi Qingmo had nearly eradicated the Divine Plant Cult before entering the Origin Land.
Without the Divine Plant Cult stirring trouble, Earthâs situation should have stabilized a lot.
So Lin Zichen thought.
And Yuan Dongzhiâs next answer was indeed just as he had envisioned.
Yuan Dongzhi said lightly, âSince your Pavilion Master slaughtered almost all of the Divine Plant Cultâs higher-ups, there are far fewer traitors on Earth, and the situation has settled down a lot, you hardly see any traitors causing trouble anymore.â
âThatâs good.â
Lin Zichen felt much more at ease.
In the past three months, what he was most worried about was the safety of his parents at home.
Having heard Yuan Dongzhiâs words, he was immediately reassured.
âZi Chen, whatâs the situation like in the Origin Land?â
Now it was Yuan Dongzhiâs turn to ask, with her and Lin Zichen essentially exchanging information about Earth and the Origin Land.
Lin Zichen shook his head, âAlthough no major war has broken out, the situation doesnât look good.â
Yuan Dongzhi, âWhat do you mean?â
Lin Zichen explained, âA few days before Qinghan and I returned to Earth, many aliens from the Land of Oblivion appeared in the dangerous areas outside City No. 1, and some of the people who went out of the city for trials were attacked by these aliens.â
âAliens from the Land of Oblivion?â
Yuan Dongzhiâs expression turned serious, puzzled, âIsnât the Land of Oblivion at the very edge of the Western Region? Why would they come to the Southern Domain all of a sudden?â
Western Region? Southern Domain?
What exactly were these two talking about?
Liu Chuanwu, Song Yuyan, and Li Chuxin were a bit confused, listening.
The trio didnât know much about the Origin Land and couldnât understand the conversation between Lin Zichen and Yuan Dongzhi.
âCould it be that the aliens from the Land of Oblivion have teamed up with the Exotic Plants from the Sun-Moon Sacred Land?â
After thinking for a while, Yuan Dongzhi came up with such a conjecture.
Lin Zichen indicated that he was not clear.
His understanding of the Origin Land was even more limited than Yuan Dongzhiâs, making it difficult to come up with any reasonable guesses.
âŠ
In the blink of an eye,
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan had been on Earth for half a month, and it was time to return to the Origin Land to shine and contribute.
Both familiesâ parents, along with the innocent Lin Ziying, got up early to see the two off.
Seeing her older brother and sister about to leave, two-month-old Lin Ziying suddenly burst into tears with a loud âwah.â
In the past half a month, she had enjoyed the company of her brother and sister, who were almost 20 years older, and she didnât want them to leave.
âYingying, donât cry, brother and sister will come back to see you very soon and bring you lots of delicious things,â
Shen Qinghan said softly, comforting her while holding Lin Ziyingâs little hand.
Lin Ziying, who couldnât understand, just roared like an angry dragon, crying loudly.
Zhang Wanxin gently rocked her daughter in her arms and said to Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan,
âYour sister is only two months old now, she canât understand your comfort. Why donât you two have a baby soon, so your sister can have a playmate?â
ââŠâ
Hearing this, Lin Zichen couldnât help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.
He thought that after Zhang Wanxin had her second child, she wouldnât press him and Shen Qinghan to have kids anymore.
It seemed he had been a bit too optimistic.
Now that his parents were financially independent and no longer needed to struggle for a living, they certainly wanted as many grandchildren around as possible.
âYes, Qinghan, why donât you and Lin Zi have a baby soon, your dad and I want to hold our grandchild,â
Xu Meng said, looking at Shen Qinghan.
Shen Qinghan didnât know how to respond and silently turned to look at Lin Zichen beside her.
She too wanted to have a child soon, but it was up to Lin Zichen, and being of a weaker disposition, she couldnât decide on her own.
Facing everyoneâs expectant gazes, Lin Zichen felt a lot of pressure.
Eventually, he dropped the words, âMom and Dad, Iâm off,â
and quickly took Shen Qinghanâs hand and led her towards the administrative building in the inner school campus.
Right now, he truly had no thoughts about having children, and the pressure from his parents was a bit much for him, so he could only make a run for it.
âLin Zi, when do you want to have children?â
On the way to the administrative building, Shen Qinghan hesitated before asking this question.
Lin Zichen asked her, âDo you really want to have children?â Your adventure continues at empire
âYes, I really do,â
Shen Qinghan nodded in reply.
Seeing that she had said she really wanted to, Lin Zichen thought for a moment, then said, âLetâs wait until after you turn 22 to get our marriage certificate, we can have a baby after that.â
Shen Qinghanâs face immediately lit up with a smile, âOkay.â
Sheâd been dreaming of having a child for Lin Zichen, and now that she had received a definite answer from him, it was hard not to feel happyâshe would probably wake up laughing in her sleep tonight.
Very soon,
they arrived at the rooftop of the administrative building.
At 8 a.m. sharp, the roar of a helicopter sounded overhead on time.
Seeing the helicopter arrive, Lin Zichen scooped up Shen Qinghan and leaped up to fly into the helicopterâs cabin.
Shortly after,
they arrived at the Military District Headquarters in Capital City.
Passing through the long biological corridor, they returned to the Origin Land after half a month.
This time, unlike their initial visit, they didnât feel uncomfortable.
After the previous three months of acclimatization, both were basically immune to the rejection of Domain Power, as free as fish in water.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan walked towards their dormitory, intending to take out the load of daily necessities they had brought from home so they wouldnât occupy space in their Storage Space.
On the way to the dormitory,
Lin Zichen noticed significant changes in the environment of the city.
The guards had increased on the high walls of the city gate.
Moreover, the atmosphere in the city was somewhat oppressive, with an inexplicable heaviness.
Had something happened�
With this question in mind, Lin Zichen specifically stopped a guard who was hurrying by and asked, âBrother, has something happened in the city?â
The guard was in a hurry and didnât want to stop and waste time.
But seeing that it was Lin Zichen who had inquired, the cityâs most noted super-genius, he stopped and replied with a wry smile, âIn the half month you were back on Earth, the Aliens from the Land of Oblivion and the Sun-Moon Sacred Land jointly attacked the city, and many people died.â
âNow, the dangerous areas outside the city have been completely taken over by the Land of Oblivion and the Sun-Moon Sacred Land.â
âThe situation is very bad.â
