There was something wrong with the light of the Solar System's star. To be precise, its light was brighter than when Wang Baole had left. There was even a faint halo around it.
This halo was different from the normal halo of the Sun. Only those who had reached the Planet realm could see it. Those below the Planet realm couldn't see it at all.
In Wang Baole's eyes, this halo was clearly visible. He also saw the source of this halo … It was the ancient greenish-bronze sword. To be precise, there was an aura at the tip of the sword that was guiding the Sun through some special method. On one hand, it was slowly absorbing the power of the Sun. On the other hand, it was indirectly affecting the Sun, causing the Solar System's Sun … to slowly die!
The reason why it was brighter was like the final radiance of the setting sun. Although it hadn't reached the state of death yet, at this rate, the Solar System's Sun would be completely extinguished in another thousand years.
The scene made Wang Baole's expression change. He couldn't tell if what he was seeing had appeared after he left, or if … it had already happened before he left. It was just that his cultivation wasn't high enough, so he hadn't noticed it.
Regardless, Wang Baole still felt a slight fluctuation of the Planet realm from the aura at the tip of the sword. This made him sure of one thing … there had to be some changes in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace's expert's resting place at the tip of the sword.
"Using the Solar System's Sun to heal …" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He didn't act rashly. After all, as his cultivation increased, he had a deeper understanding of what had happened in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. At the same time, he had to find out if there had been any changes in the Federation recently.
If there hadn't been, it would mean that the Sun had already been like this before he left. He just hadn't realized it. However, if there had been changes in the Federation, it was more likely that this had happened recently.
The former and the latter would cause him to have two different attitudes towards the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Therefore, after making a decision, Wang Baole immediately spread his consciousness and enveloped the Earth.
However, in the next moment, Wang Baole's expression changed again. His Divine Sense was very hidden, so no one could detect his existence. However, in his consciousness, as his Divine Sense swept across, everything on Earth was clearly in his eyes.
He couldn't detect Duan Muque's aura, nor could he detect the aura of the Ethereal Sect's Grand Supreme Elder. He couldn't even detect the aura of Lin You or anyone he was familiar with.
This caused Wang Baole's heart to tremble. He suddenly looked in the direction of Ethereal City. There … the original Ethereal Dao College had already disappeared. The lake seemed to have experienced the flames of war and had turned into a deep crater. He could see a huge handprint on it.
It was as if a huge hand had descended from the heavens and wiped out all the islands in the Ethereal Dao College.
What made Wang Baole's body tremble even more … was that he couldn't find any trace of his parents' aura in Ethereal City, or even in all the regions on Earth!
He only saw that many regions on Earth had traces of the Gods' passing through them. Also … there were almost no smiles on people's faces. Everyone's face was filled with deep fatigue.
All of that made Wang Baole feel extremely uneasy. The murderous intent that he had finally managed to quell after experiencing the massacre in the Divine Eye civilization started churning in his heart again. He didn't hesitate. His Divine Sense spread out instantly, spreading from Earth and sweeping across the entire Solar System.
Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, and many other stars flashed across his mind in an instant.
It was a barren land …
Just as Wang Baole was about to lose control of his murderous intent and anxiety, and as he trembled and was about to explode, his Divine Sense enveloped Mars. There, he sensed a large number of familiar auras. That was why he shuddered and ignored the other auras. Instead, he focused all his attention on one of the many auras. It was on the two people in a house in the new city he had been in previously.
The moment he saw these two people, the killing intent surging in Wang Baole's body instantly calmed down. A gentle look appeared in his eyes. They were his parents.
In this house, which wasn't very big, he saw his father. His hair was mostly white, and he was sitting there looking at the sky in the distance. He didn't know what to think. Beside him, leaning on his shoulder, was Wang Baole's mother.
She had obviously aged a lot, and there were some wrinkles on her face. At this moment, her head was lowered, and she was coughing continuously as she looked at the photo in her hand. In the photo, there was a little fatty with both hands raised high, his index and middle fingers extended. He was in a victorious pose.
This little fatty's body was round, and his eyes were narrowed into slits. There was a smug smile on his face.
This scene was filled with longing. Wang Baole fell silent, and his heart was filled with guilt. He noticed his mother coughing occasionally, and he also noticed the dazed look in his father's eyes.
"Dad … Mom …" Wang Baole mumbled. His body disappeared from the starry sky, and a moment later … he appeared behind his parents in the house in the new Mars City. The moment he appeared, he knelt down.
The instant his voice rang out, his parents in front of him trembled violently. They slowly turned their heads and saw their son, whom they missed dearly. However, all of this happened too suddenly, and they couldn't seem to believe that this scene was real. Their bodies trembled, and the photo in Wang Baole's mother's hand fell to the ground.
"Baole?"
"Dad, Mom, I'm back," Wang Baole said softly.
Even though his appearance had changed, his parents were still able to recognize him at a glance. His mother even went over and hugged him. Unknowingly, tears flowed down her face, and she was unable to speak for a long time.
Wang Baole patted his mother's back gently. When he heard his mother's words, which were filled with longing and sobbing, Wang Baole felt even more guilty. He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and it had already reached its boiling point.
However, he hid this anger in front of his parents. He looked at his father, who was also emotional and sighing. Wang Baole nodded gently. Under the gentle comfort of his cultivation base, his mother slowly fell asleep in his arms.
He gently placed his mother on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Wang Baole lifted his head and looked at his father. He walked over and hugged his father, who was at a loss for what to do.
"Dad, tell me. Who hurt my mom?"
Even though he had already controlled these few words, the anger in his heart was so strong that it caused the entire Mars to rumble. Everyone who lived on Mars couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble.
Wang Baole was so angry because … the moment he saw his mother, he had already sensed that his mother's body was extremely weak. It was obvious that the foundation of her life had been damaged. She was like a lamp that had run out of oil. Moreover, there were still remnants of a spell that someone had used to forcefully prolong her life.
"Baole …" Wang Baole's father was obviously still in a state of emotional turmoil. After being comforted by Wang Baole, it took him a long time to recover. He looked at his son and finally couldn't control his tears. He held his son's hand and told him everything he knew after Wang Baole had left.
In the third year after Wang Baole's departure, the situation on Earth changed drastically!
The rise of the Five Generation Sky Clan, led by the Zhuo family and the Li family, changed the political situation in the Solar System. Feng Qiuran was forcibly detained, Li Xingwen was severely injured, and Duan Muque … died in battle. The four major Dao Colleges were destroyed, and everyone who had once been with Duan Muque and Li Xingwen lost their power. More than half of the Senate members were killed in battle, and the rest were severely injured.
In the end, the Martian Colony Governor and her husband managed to defend Mars with their newly created antimatter weapons. All those who were severely injured by the changes in the political situation were relocated to Mars. While they were barely holding on, they had no choice but to bow their heads to the Five Generation Sky Clan and accept their rule in name.
Wang Baole's parents were also affected by the destruction of the Ethereal Dao College. When they were migrating, the Zhuo family stopped them because of their hatred for Wang Baole. Although Li Xingwen and the others eventually brought Wang Baole's parents safely to Mars, his mother was severely injured and had yet to recover.
The reason for all these changes was because … a Planet realm cultivator had awakened on the ancient greenish-bronze sword!
