The Divine Martial Stars

Earth.

"Ah! I am back!" The Husky General, whose entire body was charred, let out a shrill howl.

"You stupid dog," Li Mu said.

"It’s none of your business." The Husky General rolled his eyes at Li Mu and said, "I can say whatever I want to say... Why haven’t you been struck by lightning?"

When Li Mu and the dog traveled through the space-time crack tunnel, nothing unexpected happened. However, as soon as they walked out of the space-time tunnel and landed on the Earth, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the clear blue sky. Numerous bolts of lightning struck the Husky General before he could react, and his beautiful, soft fur was burned and made black by lightning, giving off a strong, pungent odor.

"Wow, human pet. I didn’t expect that you would be struck by lightning immediately after you come home." The Husky General was very excited at first.

Later, however, he found that the bolts of lightning were actually chasing after him.

"Human pet, you must be hiding something from me. Otherwise, why am I the only one struck by lightning?" After the lightning strike ended, the Husky shook off his charred hair and grew back new hair, which was visible to the naked eye. The new silver-black fur shone brightly. He said proudly, "Ha-ha, fortunately, I’m no longer an ordinary dog. I have restored my beauty in a flash."

"I have to admit that this stupid dog looks quite attractive.

"However, he is just like an embroidered pillow filled with grass."

Li Mu thought to himself.

Through this incident, he confirmed one thing.

The practitioners from outer space probably had to go through a baptism of lightning strike when they came to the Earth. Li mu had a similar experience when he came to the Earth for the first time.

However, no matter what, Li Mu and the dog had finally returned to the Earth.

They were home again.

Both of them were very excited.

This place should be the Mount Shu region on Earth.

Li Mu looked around and found that the surrounding mountains were magnificent and precipitous. The peaks looked like giant swords pointing to the sky, and the white clouds drifting among the mountains were like jade belts. The scenery was very beautiful, and the Spiritual Qi in the air...

"Hmm? The Spiritual Qi is much more abundant than the last time I left the earth."

Li Mu was a little surprised.

The Spiritual Qi in the air was much more abundant than others had predicted before.

"Is the Spiritual Qi of the Earth reviving?

"Moreover, it’s reviving in such a drastic manner.

"Now, the Spiritual Qi on Mount Shu is not much less than that on the Heavenly Land Planet.

"This is not a good sign.

"The revival of Spiritual Qi means that the seal set by the gods of the Dark Yellow Army on the chaotic battlefield is loosening.

"No one knows what it is like in the sealed chaotic battlefield. Have the extraterrestrial heavenly devils or the gods on the Earth been exterminated? If the seal on the chaotic battlefield were broken, all the unknown things inside it, which might be disasters or blessings, would burst out all of a sudden. That would cause a great positive or negative impact on the Earth and even the entire solar system and Ziwei Star Zone."

Li Mu did not want to entrust the fate of the Dark Yellow Army to something unknown.

At the same time, he clearly felt that his power and natural Qi were suppressed after he came back to the Earth.

However, the suppression was not a big deal for him, perhaps because he had been to the Earth once and become a little "immune" to such suppression.

As for the Husky General...

Li Mu was not sure if that stupid dog found anything unusual.

However, he was sure that great changes must have taken place on the Earth.

"Let’s go to the Wine Spring first and find the Hero Martial Arts Alliance."

Li Mu found his bearings and flew in the direction of the Wine Spring

To better understand the changes that had taken place on the Earth, he would have to find the Head of Divine God Sect and Lu Haoran, the chairman of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance.

The four geniuses, including Lu Xun, Qiu Shuiming, Xiao Dong, and Luo Xuanxin, should know everything happening on the Earth.

However, to Li Mu’s surprise, he encountered some problems at the beginning of the trip to the Wine Spring.

He didn’t get out of Mount Shu after flying for a whole day.

"This... This is not right. Back then, the space around the Earth was enlarged, which prevented planes, missiles, and many other technological objects from being used. However, the enlargement was limited. I have entered the King Realm, and I can travel hundreds of miles in a flash. Why can’t I get out of Mount Shu after flying for such a long time?"

In this one day, he had flown nearly a million kilometers.

Even if it were calculated based on the enlarged space at the time of his departure from the Earth, he should have arrived in the Wine Spring region.

"Human pet, can you do it or not?"

The Husky jeered at Li Mu.

Then, he carried Li Mu on his back, turned into a flash of lightning, and continued to fly forward.

After a long night came the dawn.

"Phew... I’m exhausted." The Husky stopped flying, stuck out his tongue, and gasped for breath. "Even if we were to go to the moon, we should have already arrived... Human pet, have you made a mistake? We may have come to another planet. How can the Earth be so big?"

Li Mu shook his head, picked the dog up, and flew forward.

In front of them, there was a white mist that looked familiar.

As they flew through the white mist, nothing unusual happened, but the field of vision suddenly became open and clear.

A small town at the foot of a mountain appeared in the distance. In the light of dawn, it looked quiet and peaceful.

Jianjun Grocery Store, telecommunication service halls, Xiaolongkan Hot Pot Restaurant, Junxia Supermarket, Jian’an No. 1 Elementary School...

The familiar places, buildings, local customs, and the names that could never be seen in any other world... Everything told Li Mu that he had not come to the wrong place and this was definitely the Earth.

"Hmm? I can smell soup dumplings, braised pork, gravy, fried shrimps, spicy tripe... They smell so familiar."

The Husky twitched its nose and suddenly drooled.

Li Mu was rendered speechless.

"Did you smell them? You’re just imagining."

Soon, Li Mu and the dog came to a breakfast stall in the town. They ordered soybean puddings, soup dumplings, fried dough sticks, soy milk...

The middle-aged stall owner was a little dumbfounded. "How can they eat so much?"

It was early morning. There were not many pedestrians on the street.

"Uncle, what’s in that mountain? It looks very mysterious." Li Mu pointed in the direction of Mount Shu.

The stall owner asked, "Are you from another place?"

"Woof? How do you know?" The stupid dog turned his head and asked after eating a hot soup dumpling.

Li Mu thought to himself, "Oh no, this stupid dog thinks he’s still in the Star River. He talked. It may freak the townspeople out."

Unexpectedly, the honest-looking, bald middle-aged stall owner seemed to be used to it. He said, "What? Is this dog a demonic spirit? It turns out that you are a demon trainer. No wonder you dare to come to the town alone..." He pointed at the mountain behind him and said, "This mountain has become a spirit. It has been growing every day for more than a year. No one knows how deep it is now. It is said that the government once sent a plane into the mountain. Even when the plane ran out of fuel, it still didn’t fly out of the mountain."

"A mountain that has become a spirit?"

"How can a mountain become a spirit?" The Husky shouted in disbelief, "Open your eyes wide so that you can see clearly. I’m not a spirit. I am a god, and he is my human pet."

"Eh? You little spirit is quite human." The stall owner was greatly surprised.

Li Mu pointed at the Husky and said, "Uncle, have you seen any animal like it?"

"I’ve seen a lot of them. The world has changed, and many animals have become spirits. In another village, there was a bull knowing how to play mahjong. The owner was terribly scared, so he killed it for food..." The middle-aged stall owner chattered in the local dialect.

Li Mu understood what happened.

Many animals in the world had become spirits.

It would be more accurate to say that many animals had become intelligent to varying extents.

Sure enough, rumor had it that some terrifying demons also appeared in some places, and even the government found it very difficult to deal with them.

The folk saying that the mountain had become a spirit was actually related to the growth of the mountain. As time went by and the Spiritual Qi revived, many sealed parts of the mountain began to emerge and extend through the seemingly ordinary white mist into a vast expanse of new area, resulting in the continuous growth of the mountain. For example, many parts of Mount Shu that were not exposed before had emerged, and the area covered by the mountain had increased many times.

The seal set by the gods of the Dark Yellow Army on the chaotic battlefield began to loosen.

From the story about the growing mountain and some other information about the Star River, Li Mu suddenly understood many things.

Obviously, the Earth used to be a part of the chaotic battlefield, but it was just located on the margin of the chaotic battlefield.

Back then, the gods of the Dark Yellow Army sealed the chaotic battlefield, and the seal covered part of the Earth. In fact, what the human beings on the earth could see now was not a complete Earth, but the unsealed part of the Earth.

As the seal on the chaotic battlefield loosened, the parts that were affected and sealed back then were gradually exposed.

This was the truth about the Earth.

When the real complete Earth was fully exposed, the seal on the chaotic battlefield would probably be broken.

"It’s a Great Age!"

Li Mu sighed silently and felt a sense of urgency.

After breakfast, he set out for the Wine Spring with the silly dog named Xiao Jiu.

Anyway, he must get in touch with the government first.

However, the journey was much longer than Li Mu had initially thought.

"Master Li is back."

The news spread in Randeng Temple quickly.

Many elders came to Randeng Temple in disbelief. Surprisingly, they found that the old faker, who had disappeared for many years, really came back to the temple, and he was cooking right now.

"He’s really back."

"Eh? The ghost wall outside the temple has disappeared."

"Yes. We can finally enter the temple."

The group of muscular, energetic old men in their eighties were very excited. They jumped over the wasteland full of weeds and rushed into the temple like bolts of lightning.

"Master Li, you’re finally back."

"Where have you been these years? Little Mu once came back to find you."

Back then, these old men were the most loyal supporters of the old faker. When they saw him again, they were extremely excited as if they had seen their idol.
