All players: Become a Dharma King, with unlimited skill stats.

New World, Heavenly Palace on the Clouds.

An Bai handed the last seal, symbolizing the authority of the world's guardian, to Wei Zheng.

"From now on, this place is in your hands."

An Bai looked at the Titan, Raine, Grom, the Sea Queen, and others standing in front of him, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

After years of reconstruction, with his help, this world, once ravaged by the abyss, has been completely restored to life and vitality.

Under his will, all races put aside their hatred and progressed together.

Wei Zheng, Titan, and others had already broken through their limitations under his divine power and become true god-level powerhouses capable of standing alone.

"Sir, are you leaving?"

Titan, this towering man, had reddened his eyes at that moment.

"It's about going home."

An Bai corrected.

He raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless time and space, looking towards a distant, azure planet.

It's been far too long since I left that place.

So long that he almost forgot what his hometown looked like.

But he could never forget that there were two silly girls waiting for him there.

"Alright, stop looking so gloomy."

An Bai smiled and patted Titan on the shoulder.

"It's not like I'm never coming back. This is my home too. Once I've taken care of things at home, I'll take you all to visit my hometown."

After calming everyone down, An Bai did not linger.

He made a light stroke in the void in front of him.

A portal, unlike any of the previous spatial portals, radiating a soft white light, appeared out of thin air.

On the other side of the door, there was not a cold void, but warm sunlight filled with a familiar atmosphere.

He waved to the crowd and took a step forward.

……

Blue Star, Shangjiang City.

The city, rebuilt after the disaster, has been given a new lease on life.

Higher city walls rose from the ground, the streets became wider and cleaner, and confident smiles returned to the faces of passersby.

Apart from the occasional remnants of war, it's difficult to discern the horrific scenes of the abyss's invasion that once existed here.

A white portal appeared silently in a grove of trees on the outskirts of the city.

An Bai's figure emerged from it.

"call……"

He took a deep breath of the long-missed air, filled with the fragrance of earth and grass, and felt every cell in his body rejoice.

Go home.

He really did go home.

His divine sense, like an invisible tide, instantly covered the entire Shangjiang City.

Soon, he found two figures that he was extremely familiar with and missed in the largest training ground in the city center.

An Shibai's lips curled up slightly, and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

……

Shangjiang City, First Training Ground.

"drink!"

With a sharp shout, Zhao Zhiqin's long whip, like a serpent emerging from its hole, whipped up a fierce gust of wind and lashed hard at a state-of-the-art combat puppet.

boom!

The puppet, made of special alloy and capable of withstanding attacks from a level 100 expert, was instantly lashed with a deep whip mark on its chest!

"Wow, Zhiqing, your [Dragon Soul Whip Technique] is getting better and better!"

Not far away, a tall, cool-looking woman in light sportswear smiled and praised.

It was Zhou Yilan.

Five years have passed, and she has long since shed her girlish naiveté; her long, slender legs are now even more eye-catching.

"Hehe, not bad!" Zhao Zhiqing wiped the sweat from her forehead and proudly raised her chin.

She is no longer the little girl who would only hide behind An Bai.

Today, she is the most dazzling rising star in Shangjiang City, a level 98 [Holy Spirit Dragon Speaker], powerful and cheerful, and a goddess in the hearts of countless young awakened ones.

Don't get distracted!

A calm voice rang out.

Boom!

On the other side, Si Ying held up a huge shield that shimmered with rune light and accurately blocked the heavy punch from another puppet.

The immense impact forced her back half a step, but the shield remained completely still.

Si Ying is now level 99 and is recognized as the strongest guardian in Shangjiang City.

She was no longer the timid, tearful girl. Years of fighting and training had added a touch of heroic fortitude to her originally delicate temperament.

However, when she put down her shield and looked at Zhao Zhiqing, her clear eyes still held an unyielding tenderness.

"Brother Xiaobai has been gone for almost five years now..."

Suddenly, someone whispered a name that everyone was deliberately avoiding.

The atmosphere on the training field froze for a moment.

Zhao Zhiqing's smile froze.

Si Ying's eyes also dimmed.

Zhou Yilan turned her head away, not wanting anyone to see the longing in her eyes.

five years.

The boy who once brought hope to this city and sheltered them has been missing for five whole years.

Everyone says he may have died in a more dangerous, higher world.

But they never believed it.

"He will come back."

Zhao Zhiqing sniffed and forced a smile.

"That big liar promised to take me to see the world. If he dares not to come back, I...I'll..."

She hadn't finished speaking.

A magnetic voice, with a hint of long-lost teasing yet incredibly gentle, suddenly rang out behind them.

"What will you do?"

Time stood still at that moment.

Zhao Zhiqing, Si Ying, Zhou Yilan.

The three people's bodies froze in place, as if they had been frozen in place by a spell.

That sound...

This voice I've been longing for day and night, and which has appeared in my dreams countless times!

They turned around slowly, with absolute stiffness.

Then they saw it.

The young man, dressed in simple casual clothes, with a tall and straight figure and a smile on his face, stood there quietly.

His appearance hasn't changed much compared to five years ago.

But his eyes became as deep as the starry sky, captivating anyone who looked into them.

It's him!

It's really him!

"Little White...Brother?"

Zhao Zhiqing's lips trembled. She couldn't believe her eyes, thinking it was just another hallucination caused by excessive longing.

An Bai smiled and opened his arms to her.

"I'm back."

Those four simple words instantly shattered all of Zhao Zhiqin's pretense.

"Wow--!"

She could no longer hold back and let out a heart-wrenching cry, like a fledgling swallow returning to its nest, or a runaway cannonball, screaming "Brother Xiaobai," and recklessly throwing herself into the warm embrace she had longed for for countless days and nights!

"Waaaaah... You big liar! You big liar!"

"So you finally decided to come back! Do you know how much we missed you?!"

Zhao Zhiqing buried her face in An Bai's chest, pounding him with her little fists, crying so hard she could barely breathe. She poured out all the longing, grievances, and worries of the past five years into her tears.

An Bai didn't say anything, just smiled and let her vent, gently patting her back with his palm.

On the other side...

Si Ying stood there quietly.

She didn't pounce on him like Zhao Zhiqing did.

The moment she saw An Bai, tears welled up in her eyes and, like pearls from a broken string, silently and surging down her cheeks.

Her body was trembling; she wanted to go forward, but couldn't move her feet.

five years.

She waited for five years, hoped for five years, and cried for five years.

All the torment turned into tears of grievance at this moment.

An Bai held Zhao Zhiqing in his arms and stretched out his other hand towards Si Ying.

Si Ying could no longer hold back. She quickly stepped forward, but instead of throwing herself into An Bai's arms, she stretched out her trembling hands and tightly, desperately, grabbed the hem of An Bai's clothes.

It felt as if if I let go, this person in front of me would disappear again.

"Welcome home."

She raised her head, and a smile brighter than the sunshine bloomed on her pretty face, which was streaked with tears.

Not far away.

Zhou Yilan leaned against the wall, silently watching this long-awaited reunion. Her eyes were a little moist, but she stubbornly maintained her cool expression.

In the crowd further away.

A girl dressed in a priest's robe, with a gentle and quiet demeanor, looked at An Bai, who was being tightly embraced by two other girls. Her eyes were filled with tears, but her lips held a relieved and blessed smile.

It is Meng An'an who is now in charge of the logistics and material allocation for Shangjiang City.

An Bai gently comforted Zhao Zhiqing in his arms, and then ruffled Si Ying's hair.

His gaze passed over them and landed on Zhou Yilan and Meng An'an not far away. He nodded kindly to them.

He knew that some things could no longer be delayed.

It's time to solve this together.

"Okay, stop crying, or you'll look like a little kitten."

An Bai wiped away the two girls' tears and recounted their experiences over the years in the simplest way possible.

When they heard that An Bai had become a god and saved a world, the girls were all shocked and their mouths dropped open.

After explaining everything.

An Bai didn't rush to see the others; he looked at the four girls in front of him.

Zhao Zhiqing, Si Ying, Zhou Yilan, Meng An'an.

Each one has left an indelible mark on his life.

He opened his divine domain, and its gentle, benevolent light softly enveloped the four of them.

"I'm back."

An Bai's voice was gentle yet solemn.

"Now, it's time to take you to see..."

"I have fought for this country."

The words fell.

Amidst the shocked gazes of his acquaintances, An Bai and the four girls transformed into a dazzling streak of light, soaring into the sky and vanishing instantly into the horizon.
