It had been a while since they last saw each other, and both his parents had made great progress.
With the accumulation of a massive amount of resources, his mother had successfully broken through to Level 7, and his father had also become a Level 6 Arcanist. The speed of their progress was unprecedented and unmatched.
Their strength might be nothing in the context of the world, but in Lantian Base City, they were definitely the most powerful existence.
As a matter of fact, his father mentioned something during dinner.
Half a month ago, another wave of Beast Tide broke out in Lantian Base City, led by a Class 6 Titan Tempest Ape. The disaster this time was comparable to the Beast Tide caused by the Bloodgorger Bats.
Lantian Base City was once again in crisis.
However, just as the Beast Tide broke out, the Titan Tempest Ape was burned to death by his mother, and the rest of the Class 5 Direbeasts were struck to death by his father with lightning.
The Beast Tide was declared over before it even started, and his parents had become heroes of Lantian Base City.
So, even though they seemed to be cultivating for fun, they were still strong in the eyes of others.
The family chatted peacefully, with his father and mother talking about their life during this period, and his sister talking about the trivial things in school.
Everything made Ling Jiu feel unprecedentedly peaceful, and only at home could he completely relax.
"Brother, when can I awaken my Arcana?"
Xiaotong looked at Ling Jiu, her eyes full of resentment. "Mom and Dad are Arcanists, and so are you and my sister. I'm the only ordinary person in the family. This is too unfair!"
"You want to be an Arcanist too?"
Ling Jiu laughed. "Didn't we agree that you will only awaken your Arcana when you graduate from high school and go through the Arcana Awakening Ceremony?"
"That's too late!"
Xiaotong pouted. "I'm only in my second year of high school, and there's still a whole year before graduation!"
"A year, how can I wait? No, I want to awaken my Arcana now, I can't wait any longer! "
Previously, she was the youngest in the family, and her brother asked her to awaken her Arcana after graduating from high school, and she agreed.
Now she had a younger sister, Ling'er, who was one year younger than her, but had already become a Level 8 Arcanist. How could she wait?
"Then tell me, what Arcana do you want to awaken?" Ling Jiu took a bite of food and teased.
"Hehe!"
When it came to abilities, Xiaotong's eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons.
"I have discussed this with a few of my best friends. Xiao Chun hopes to awaken the Fire Manipulation Arcana, Xiao Xia loves swimming, so she hopes to awaken the Water Manipulation Arcana, and Xiao Qiu hopes to awaken the Thunder Manipulation Arcana."
"What about you?"
Ling Jiu smiled and asked.
"I like to control ice!"
Xiao Tong's eyes lit up. "I want to be like the Ice Queen in the movies, controlling an ice sword with a wave of my hand. Not only is it beautiful, but it's also very lethal!"
"Ice control?"
Ling Jiu and his family looked at each other and could not help but laugh. Yang Su smiled.
"Daughter, what Arcana you awaken is not up to us. Whatever Arcana you want to awaken, you will awaken it. All we can do is accept it!"
"I know!"
Xiaotong was a little depressed. "So, I'm just hoping. It's not like I really have to have an Ice Manipulation Arcana."
"Xiaotong, the Ice Manipulation Arcana is pretty good. I'll satisfy you someday!"
Ling Jiu stroked his sister's little head and said with a doting expression.
"Satisfy me?"
Xiao Tong was taken aback. "Brother, you can help me awaken the Ice Manipulation Arcana?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
Ling Jiu said with a smile.
"Yay! I knew you are the best, brother! "
Xiao Tong was so happy that she jumped up and kissed Ling Jiu on the face.
"You little girl..."
Ling Jiu scolded with a smile as he wiped the oil off his face with a tissue and looked at his parents.
"Mom, Dad, besides coming back to see you, there's something else I want to discuss with you, and of course, Ling'er."
"What's so serious, Ling Jiu?" Ling Tianci was surprised.
"It's like this..."
Ling Jiu told them about Whitehole 2. Be it his parents or Ling'er, they were all stunned.
"An alien planet?"
"99 times the flow of time?"
"Is there really such a planet?"
"Brother, is what you said true?"
Ling'er looked at Ling Jiu, her beautiful eyes full of excitement. In the whole family, apart from Ling Jiu and Bai Ya, she knew the cultivation value of Whitehole 2 the best. Naturally, she was ecstatic.
"Of course it's true."
Ling Jiu smiled. "Bai Ya and I stayed on that planet for a year and a half. When we returned to Earth, only about three to five days had passed.
Using this year and a half, we both broke through Level 10 Arcanists and became stellar beings. "
"That's great!"
Ling'er jumped up. "I want to go, brother!"
"We came back this time to bring you there."
Ling Jiu agreed with a smile and then looked at his parents. "What about you?"
"Ling Jiu, if your dad and I go to that planet, will we age very quickly?"
Yang Su frowned and asked with a worried look.
"…"
Ling Jiu was a little speechless, but he still said, "The flow of time on that planet is very fast. The number of years on that planet is the same as the number of years on Earth.
That is to say, if you can live for 100 years, you will still die of old age if you spend 100 years there. "
"That is to say, if we go to that planet, we will age very quickly?"
Yang Su shook her head like a rattle when she heard that. "Then we won't go, we won't go. It's not easy for me and your dad to meet again, and I haven't lived enough yet. I don't want to age too quickly. "
Ling Tianci originally wanted to go to an alien planet to see the world, but when he heard that he would age very quickly, he immediately shook his head.
What a joke, his happy life had just arrived, how could he die early? No, no, no! Not even if they killed him!
Ling Jiu and Bai Ya did not know whether to laugh or cry when they heard what the old couple said.
Ling Jiu said helplessly, "Mom, Dad, although staying on that planet will indeed age very quickly compared to Earth, I am confident that I can help you become stellar beings."
"You have to know that once you become a stellar being, you have 1,000 years to live."
"1,000 years!"
Yang Su and Ling Tianci exclaimed.
"Yes, 1,000 years. Think about it, compared to 1,000 years of life, what is your current 100 years of life?"
Ling Jiu said patiently.
Yang Su and Ling Tianci were very tempted. They could not help but look at each other and finally nodded in unison. "Go! Let's go! "
"That's settled then."
Ling Jiu smiled. "Let's go tomorrow morning."
"Okay!"
Ling Jiu spent the afternoon with his family. When it was near evening, Ling Jiu called his best friend Li Kai and asked him out for dinner.
The two did not go to a high-end hotel, but to a food stall near the school, which carried a lot of their memories.
As soon as they met, Ling Jiu punched Li Kai in the chest. "Ol 'Li, we haven't seen each other for more than a year. You have put on weight!"
"Hehe, my genes are like this. I can't help it, I put on weight as soon as I reach adulthood."
Li Kai was also very happy. "Speaking of which, Ol 'Ling, you are really awesome now. I watched the live broadcast of you slaughtering the Insectoid army two days ago."
"Tsk tsk, you even swallowed such a big bug in one gulp. The Internet says that you have become a stellar being beyond Level 10 Arcanists. Is that true?"
"More or less."
Ling Jiu smiled and pulled Li Kai to a seat. Immediately, a waiter came up to them. "What would you like to eat?"
"Ol 'Li, what would you like to eat?"
Ling Jiu asked with a smile.
"The same as before."
Li Kai smiled.
"Sure."
Ling Jiu nodded. "Boss, give me two bottles of iced beer, ten lamb skewers, ten grilled chicken wings, ten lamb kidney skewers, ten grilled pork tendon skewers, ten grilled gluten skewers, ten grilled chives, ten grilled chicken tendon skewers, ten grilled lamb chops. That's all for now."
The waiter quickly wrote it down and looked at the dishes Ling Jiu had ordered. He was surprised. "Handsome, can you finish ordering so much?"
"Don't worry."
Ling Jiu waved his hand, signaling the waiter to rest assured and get ready. He then looked at Li Kai. "Ol 'Li, how have you been recently?"
"Thanks to you, I have recently been promoted to the head of the company's logistics department. I have hundreds of people under me, and now I am also a small leader."
Li Kai smiled. "Although I am nothing compared to a stellar being like you, in Lantian Base City, I am still someone."
"Not bad, kid, you have become a department head." Ling Jiu poured a glass of beer for both of them. "Come, cheers to your promotion and salary increase."
"Cheers!"
"Ol 'Li, do you have a girlfriend?"
"We just broke up some time ago."
"Why did you break up?"
"She is a fair, rich, and beautiful woman. She is very delicate, and will lose her temper if I don't serve her well. She even scolded my mom a few days ago. I got angry and asked her to get lost."
"She dared to scold your mom. You really should have asked her to get lost. This kind of woman is unacceptable."
"Of course."
The two chatted as they drank. They talked about work, life, their childhood, and the development of the other students in the class.
"By the way, how is Wu Na doing recently?"
"Her? How else can she be? Since the end of the last class reunion, she was dumped by the Ai family's young master. Although she had a few boyfriends later, they seemed to have broken up again."
"That woman seems to want to compete with you. But what does she have to compete with you? First, she has no Arcana, and second, she has no background. She can only rely on her body to climb up. Slowly, her reputation stinks, and those rich kids look down on her. "
"I heard that she recently hooked up with a billionaire. I heard that he is an old man, almost sixty years old."
"This woman is really …"
"One word: cheap."
"Yes, cheap."
"Hahaha, cheers to her cheap!"
"Cheers!"
The two drank to their hearts' content. Soon, it was 12 o 'clock. Li Kai was already drunk, lying on the table and talking nonsense.
"You're drunk already, Ol 'Li?"
Ling Jiu nudged Li Kai.
"No way. You may be a stellar lifeform, but you are no match for me when it comes to drinking. You couldn't beat me in the past, and you still can't beat me now."
"You're not drunk, but you're already talking nonsense."
Ling Jiu smiled. "Let's go. I'll send you home."
"No! I can still drink. Where's the alcohol? I can still drink. "
He dragged Li Kai home. His parents seemed to have fallen asleep. Ling Jiu quietly put him on the bed, then took out three things and left.
The next morning, when Li Kai woke up, he saw the three things that Ling Jiu had put on the quilt.
"What is this?"
Li Kai rubbed his aching head, picked up the three things and looked at them one by one.
The first thing was a box with a few simple words written on it: Ultimate Gene Arcana secret technique, Devourer of the Stars.
"This is the Ultimate Gene Arcana secret technique?"
