Chapter 196: Traveling Back in Time

In the vast night sky, stars dot the dark sky like sparkling diamonds. Each star is unique, but when they come together, they light up the universe.

"Didn't you ask us to come and see the meteor shower? Where is the meteor shower?" Zhao Li and Zheng Wenjie walked towards Xia Dongqing on the beach, looking at the beautiful night sky.

Xia Dongqing sighed at the beauty of the night sky and replied, "I don't know either."

"Looking at the sky, the Leo meteor shower should be here soon." Zheng Wenjie was in a very happy mood. He left Hong Kong Island to stay with Xia Dongqing not because of Pluto's request, but for today.

Ya was jumping happily on the beach with fireworks in her hands. She looked up as if something had happened, raised her hands and shouted happily: "Look, there's a shooting star!"

Zheng Wenjie looked up and saw a bright light streaking across the night sky. Then more and more meteors began to streak across the sky. Each meteor had a long tail, like fireworks set off from the sky, blooming with beautiful light.

"So beautiful! Wow, whoosh!" Xia Dongqing raised his hands high and shouted, running wildly in the direction where the meteor fell.

Ya walked to Zheng Wenjie's side, looking at Xia Dongqing who was running and cheering loudly, a smile from the bottom of her heart appeared on her face involuntarily.

"He looks too much like a child. I really can't imagine him growing old, dying, or reincarnating into another person."

Zhao Li glanced at Ya and then at Xia Dongqing, and sighed, "Dongqing has always been cheerful. I hope fate will be better to him in the future."

Hearing Zhao Li's words, the smile on Ya's face faded, and her expression returned to a cold one. After a moment of silence, she said, "It was you who turned him into Xia Dongqing."

"You made him an orphan."

Zheng Wenjie took a step back and looked at the two men, saying with a smile: "Neither of you is a good person. Xia Dongqing's life has been ruined by you. Are you regretting it now? It's useless."

Zhao Li glanced at Ya, shook his head and said, "There will be a chance. I will find a way to prevent Chi You from devouring Dong Qing's soul."

"What is that!" Ya frowned and looked at the sky. This time the other meteors were brighter and more dazzling, like the light of a comet.

"Fuck, come to us!" Zhao Li screamed.

"Holly!!" Ya opened her eyes wide and instinctively ran towards Xia Dongqing.

Zheng Wenjie's figure flashed and stood in front of Xia Dongqing. He stretched out the fangs in his mouth and relied on his physical strength to withstand the falling meteor.

Zheng Wenjie roared, threw the meteor with force, changed its direction and landed it on the deserted beach.

With an explosion, the beach began to shake. Xia Dongqing, who was frightened, felt his legs go limp and was steady by Ya who came running over.

After the aftermath subsided, Xia Dongqing shook his head and stood up. He staggered two steps and was supported by Ya. His eyes were full of double vision after being pierced by the light. Xia Dongqing covered his eyes and groaned, "How could a meteor fall here? It's so hot."

"Are you all okay?" Zhao Li rushed over, glanced at Xia Dongqing and asked Zheng Wenjie.

Zheng Wenjie retracted his fangs, shook his head at Zhao Li, and then walked towards the deep pit where the meteor fell.

The beach around the deep pit was burned by the high temperature into charred black crystal soil that was still glowing. The deep pit was like an inverted pyramid, and what appeared at the bottom was not a meteorite, but a naked man.

Zheng Wenjie jumped down the pit without stopping and carried the man up. He glanced at the cloth bag hanging around his neck and said to Zhao Li and the other two who were approaching, "Let's go home first."

Zhao Li nodded after thinking about it, and stepped forward to stretch out his hand to take the man from Zheng Wenjie. Zheng Wenjie smiled and did not refuse. He said a few words to Xia Dongqing to make sure that everything was fine before rushing back to the villa at sunrise.

"Dongqing, don't you want to take a rest?" Zheng Wenjie asked casually after taking the takeaway handed to him by Xia Dongqing.

Xia Dongqing yawned and shook his head at the midday sun: "I slept in the car for more than four hours."

Zhao Li rubbed his hands and opened the takeaway bag, and said cheerfully: "Ajie, don't worry about him. Xia Dongqing is just a little cockroach. It doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep for three days and three nights."

Xia Dongqing rolled her eyes at Zhao Li, turned around and shouted to Ya who was still sleeping on the sofa: "Xiao Ya! Hurry up and get up, it's time to eat. If you're any later, Zhao Li, the pig, will eat up all the takeaway food!"

Ya suddenly sat up straight, walked past Xia Dongqing with her eyes closed, sat steadily at the dining table, and stretched out her hand naturally.

Zheng Wenjie was delighted and put the lunch box and chopsticks on the left and right.

"I'll go get you some water." Xia Dongqing laughed and turned to walk towards the living room. When he passed the stairs, he was startled by a figure that suddenly jumped out. Just as he was about to scream, a hand grabbed his neck and pressed him against the wall.

"What are you doing!" Ya was awakened, opened her eyes and rushed forward to try to pry Xing's arms apart, but they didn't move at all.

"Come and help him, he's so strong!"

"Where are my things!" Xing asked Xia Dongqing, staring at him.

"Who are you? Let go first!" Ya couldn't pry Xing's arms open, so she grabbed Xing's neck with her backhand.

"It's the black cloth bag he hangs around his neck." Zheng Wenjie said as he picked up a piece of pork belly.

Xia Dongqing supported Xing's arm and said with difficulty: "Room, room, put it in my room, let go and I will get it for you."

"If you don't let go, you won't be able to get your things back." Zhao Li rolled his eyes and said.

Xing then let go of his hand and just stared at Xia Dongqing who was rubbing his neck and coughing.

Xia Dongqing waved his hand: "Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."

Ya watched Xing follow Xia Dongqing back to the room to get something, looked at Zhao Li and Zheng Wenjie curiously and asked, "What is this? He is really strong, not like a mortal."

"Nonsense, have you ever seen a mortal fall to the ground like a meteor?"

"Then do you know what he is?" Ya sat back at the dining table and retorted.

Zhao Li curled his lips: "I don't know, but he has no life on his hands, and he didn't kill any."

"He is not a human. According to current terms, he can barely be considered an alien." Zheng Wenjie said casually.

Ya rolled her eyes and put a piece of meat in Zheng Wenjie's lunch box and asked, "Ajie, no, Brother Jie, who is he?"

Zheng Wenjie smiled and looked at Xing who was walking over with Xia Dongqing: "Why don't you ask him yourself and find out?"

Xing stood at the dining table and looked at the takeaway food on the table. His Adam's apple rolled as he rubbed his stomach and said blankly, "I'm hungry."

Xia Dongqing, who was standing at the side, was not angry about Xing's actions just now. Instead, he said, "Sit down and eat. The servings I ordered for five people are enough."

After hearing this, Xing picked up the chopsticks and started to eat without hesitation.

Zheng Wenjie put down his lunch box and watched Xing eat up all the takeaway food he had ordered.

Ya swallowed her saliva, slammed her chopsticks on the table in annoyance and stood up: "I don't want to eat anymore!"

"There's nothing to eat even if you want to." Zhao Li smiled and followed Ya to sit on the sofa in the living room.

Xia Dongqing placed two glasses of water on the dining table. Zheng Wenjie thanked him, picked up the glasses and went to the living room.

After waiting for a while, Xia Dongqing brought Xing to the living room and sat down.

Just as Ya was about to ask, Xing spoke up himself: "I've been to your star before."

Xia Dongqing stretched out his finger and shook it: "What you mean is that you have been to our planet before?"

Xing understood for a moment and nodded before stammering, "Talk, not much. If you don't understand, give me the text."

"Do you want a pen?" Xia Dongqing asked.

Zhao Li looked at Xia Dongqing unhappily: "Give him some books, he is not from here."

Xia Dongqing hurriedly went to the room, picked up a book and put it on the table. Xing picked up the book and quickly flipped through the pages. In less than half an hour, Xing finished reading the last book.

"I have basically mastered your language system. In terms of your galaxy, I come from the Andromeda Galaxy, which is very far away from this planet."

"By the way, how far is this place from the fishing village where I landed?" "Fishing village? What fishing village? There is only a beach where you landed. There is no fishing village or even a single person around." Ya said casually.

Xing stared at Ya blankly, and finally shook his head: "No, there will be no problem with my coordinates."

After that, Xing stood up and said, "It's all your fault for bringing me here!"

"Hey, you're ungrateful! I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you almost took Dongqing's life!" Ya also stood up and pointed at Xing.

Zheng Wenjie clapped his hands and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the fishing village you're talking about should be a fishing village in the past. You may not have the concept of time, but you should understand it after reading these books."

"time?"

Zheng Wenjie hummed: "Yes, there was indeed a fishing village when you came here last time, but when you left and came back, the fishing village had disappeared with the passage of time."

"Your coordinates are correct, only the time is wrong."

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Xing shouted and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xia Dongqing.

Xia Dongqing understood what Zheng Wenjie said, but he did not stop her. Instead, he said, "I know you won't believe it unless you see it with your own eyes, but you can't go out dressed like this. Come with me, I'll find you some clothes."

After Xia Dongqing took Xing away, Ya curiously asked Zheng Wenjie, "Brother Jie, is what he said true? He came from another planet, an alien?"

"Whether there are aliens or not, you have been in Kunlun for so long and you still don't know?"

"He is not a human, so how can he be an alien? He is just a star."

"Star?"

Zheng Wenjie nodded: "Flowers, plants and trees can all become spirits, so why can't stars?"

"No way?" Ya covered her mouth in surprise.

Zhao Li said cheerfully, "You, a bird, have become a spirit, so it's not impossible for stars to become spirits. But I've never seen such a thing before."

Zheng Wenjie tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "The transformed stars can also be understood as aliens, a race?"

Ya nodded: "I understand. So he has been here before. When he came here, the place was still a fishing village. Now he has returned to heaven and then came back again. Why did he come back?"

"Just ask him and you'll know." Zheng Wenjie said, looking at the renewed Xing.

"No, Xia Dongqing, if you want to find clothes for him to wear, just look for yours. Why are you looking for my clothes?" Zhao Li shouted in surprise.

Ya slapped Zhao Li in the face: "Dong Qing only has a few clothes, not as many as you do. You are so stingy."

Xing stood in front of them, smiled, bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, you are all good people."

Zhao Li curled his lips: "Although I don't know what's wrong with you, I still hope that you can still smile after visiting the fishing village you mentioned."

"Let me take you there. This place is still far from the beach where you will land." Xia Dongqing said with a smile, holding Xing's arm.

"thank you all."

Ya stood up and said, "I want to go with you too."

After the three of them left, Zhao Li looked at Zheng Wenjie calmly: "Ajie, what do you want to do?"

"What to do?"

Zhao Li exhaled and said, "To the King of Hell, Queen Mother of the West, and you, Ya and I are just small figures."

"You, a big shot, came with me to protect Xia Dongqing. To be honest, I was very panicked."

"Especially when this star comes, you are always in a good mood, which is completely different from the past."

Zheng Wenjie exclaimed and looked at Zhao Li for a while, then smiled and nodded. He waved his hand, and a layer of red light enveloped the entire living room.

"What I want to do is very simple. I am not with you to protect Xia Dongqing. I am here to go back to the past, back to two thousand years ago."

"What do you mean? Traveling through time? This is a taboo that even the innate gods won't touch." Zhao Li stood up in surprise and looked at Zheng Wenjie.

"This star can do it. As long as he is willing to lose everything, he can take me back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period two thousand years ago."

Zhao Li calmed down his complicated and excited mood and asked, "Will he be willing?"

Zheng Wenjie nodded affirmatively: "He will agree to do so, because he promised a woman that she would bring stars to him. The bag hanging around his neck contains stars."

"How did you know?"

"You don't need to know this, Zhao Li. You just need to know what I can bring to you after I succeed."

Zhao Li sat down in silence and said, "You mean, after you succeed, you will change the future... change me?"

"Yes, you became the ferryman a thousand years ago, and I wanted to control the underworld before you became the ferryman."

"When the underworld was first created, the two volumes of Yin and Yang, the most precious treasures, appeared naturally. Now the Hades has completely mastered the two volumes of Yin and Yang, and they are connected to her life. I have no way to stop them."

"But a thousand years ago, Hades only mastered the Yin Scroll. What I want to do is to snatch the Yang Scroll, which is in the hands of Mengpo."

"Meng Po? Sanqi? Meng Po is a demon with female body, smart and resourceful, with special appearance, likes to eat ghosts and is good at cooking soup." Zhao Li murmured to himself, recalling Sanqi, the only Meng Po left when he just became a ferryman.

A thousand years ago, the Yin Volume was in the hands of A-Cha. The Yin Volume recorded life and death, and was the will of heaven.

The Yang Volume is managed by Meng Po, and it only records human affairs and the merits and demerits of a person's lifetime.

"As long as I master the Yang Scroll, I can force Ah Cha to hand over the Yin Scroll and become the new Hades, the real Hades."

"And Zhao Li, I know you will help me. The past will change the present. I don't know what the world will become."

"But no matter what happens, it's none of our business. When I become Hades, I will make you second to none in the underworld. You will have flesh and blood, pain and sorrow, and no one will dare to take your soul away again."

Veins popped out on Zhao Li's forehead, and after a moment he nodded decisively: "I have another request."

Zhao Li looked at Zheng Wenjie and said seriously: "Don't hurt Xia Dongqing."

Zheng Wenjie spread his hands: "Xia Dongqing will live his own life, without Chiyou, without ghosts, peaceful and happy."

……

Xing brought Xia Dongqing and Ya to find nothing. Only then did they face the reality and accept the concept of time that Zheng Wenjie had mentioned before they came.

Zhao Li stole the star core of the star from the museum. Every star of the Star Clan has a star core, which they call Kana.

"I will decompose myself and wrap you up. Kana will take us to the far point of the incident, which is the fishing village two thousand years ago, but by then I will disappear, no matter now or in the future." Xing looked at Zheng Wenjie and said solemnly.

Zheng Wenjie took the black bag handed over by Xing and said calmly: "But you will still be reborn in the stars, although I don't know whether it will take tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of years."

Xing nodded: "You really know everything."

"I will give her the star you promised to give to the little fish, and I will also grant her the power of immortality, immortality, and indestructibility until the day you come again."

Zheng Wenjie put away the bag and looked at Xing: "Let's get started."
