Chapter 591: Last Gift
Unknown to the mortals, Ao Tian specifically stopped the spaceship to give them a proper view of the universe above Earth.
At this time, hearing the people’s excited discussions, Jiang Yue smiled and looked at Yu Nianzhen.
As it happened, the swordsman was also looking at him.
When their gaze collided, a warm current flowed in their heart and their eyes softened.
"Is that the moon?" Someone asked in an awe-filled voice.
"I see many satellites."
"Will we see the International Space Station?"
"There are so many stars."
"What about the planets? I want to see Mars and Saturn?"
"Big brother, will we meet aliens? Will they be riding a UFO? Are they little green men? What..."
While the people were excitedly whispering, Yu Nianzhen narrowed his eyes.
[XiaoYue...] He called.
[I see it.] Jiang Yue answered without waiting for Yu Nianzhen’s question.
When the spaceship left Earth, the two immediately used their spiritual sense to scan the surrounding universe.
As a result, they discovered an asteroid.
Although the asteroid was still far away, it was on a collision path with the Earth.
If nothing was done, the asteroid would usually hit Earth, causing a catastrophe.
[Should we do something?] Jiang Yue asked and Yu Nianzhen immediately nodded.
[You and I originally didn’t belong to Earth. However, the Earth took us in, nurtured us, and became our second homeland. Dealing with the asteroid will eliminate this cause and effect.]
[I also think so. It will be our last gift to Earth.] Jiang Yue nodded.
Initially, they planned on leaving more resources for the Earth’s will.
However, since there was a better opportunity to repay their gratitude, they would naturally not let it go.
[Leave it to me.] Jiang Yue said and removed a formation disk from his storage ring.
A moment later, he used his spiritual sense to touch the asteroid and directly dragged it into the formation disk.
At the same time, he collected some surrounding space debris.
"Is it me or..." Someone started with a confused expression.
"It’s not you. Most of the debris suddenly disappeared."
"Thank God. I thought I was seeing things."
"What’s going on? Where did the debris go?"
Listening to the renewed discussions, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue looked at each other but said nothing.
For the next short while, the spaceship moved slowly, allowing the mortals to see the universe.
However, when they left the Milky Way, Ao Tian drove the spaceship at normal speed and the surrounding scenery blurred.
Seven months later, the spaceship entered the deep space.
On their way to Earth, Yu Nianzhen, Jiang Yue, and Ao Tian encountered thousands of space beasts in the deep space.
At that time, they couldn’t avoid most and had to fight their way through.
Fortunately, the spaceship was very fast.
Although they still encountered many space beasts, the spaceship could outrun them.
Because of this, the journey was smooth until one month into the deep space.
On this day, Yu Nianzhen was drinking wine while playing Go with his grandfather on the third-floor deck.
"I can no longer keep up." Yu Gen sighed and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
When he saw the sadness, Yu Nianzhen felt uncomfortable but he didn’t know what to say.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue wasn’t as impaired.
After rolling his eyes, he smiled at the old man.
"Don’t worry, Grandpa Yu." He said and quickly continued.
"Your mind will become sharper when you become a cultivator. Later, Azhen won’t be able to keep up."
Hearing this, the old man was immediately encouraged and he burst into hearty laughter.
However, he soon stopped laughing and looked at Yu Nianzhen with a solemn expression.
"Nianzhen..." He started.
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue suddenly stood up.
"What’s wrong?" Yu Gen asked.
"Space beasts." Yu Nianzhen answered.
At the same time, he used their contract to contact Ao Tian.
Soon after, Ao Tian appeared on the deck.
"Master." He called and Yu Nianzhen nodded before he spoke.
"It seems we have to fight."
"Mmmm." Ao Tian agreed.
"I tried to shake them but they are somehow keeping up."
"The leader is twenty metres tall and has eight eyes. It should be an immortal-level space beast." Jiang Yue said with a solemn expression.
Their first encounter with space beasts was in the stone forest of the sealed battlefield.
Back then, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue were nascent soul realm cultivators.
Now, the two were immortal realm cultivators.
Unfortunately, dealing with space beasts hadn’t gotten easier.
In fact, it had become considerably more difficult.
"I will take its demon core and you will take its meat." Ao Tian generously offered to share the loot.
Unfortunately, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue were not thrilled to hear this.
Thousands of years later, they still remembered the taste of space beasts’ meat.
When they thought they would have to eat it again, the two shuddered in repulsion.
"Ao Tian, XiaoYue and I will deal with the leader. Can you deal with the rest?"
"Don’t worry." Ao Tian proudly declared.
Soon after, two people and a dragon flew out of the spaceship.
Seeing this, the martial artists and Yu-Jiang people exclaimed in surprise.
"What’s going on?" Someone asked.
"Swordsman Yu, Master Jiang, and Master Ao have left the spaceship."
"Why did they leave?"
"How would I know?"
"Old Yu, what’s going on?" An old voice suddenly asked.
When Yu Gen turned around, he saw Jiang Chen walking over with a worried expression.
"Why did Yue’er and Nianzhen leave the spaceship?" Grandma Jiang asked.
Hearing this, Yu Gen sighed and looked into the distance.
Unfortunately, he only saw black space but no space beasts.
"Nianzhen said something about space beasts."
"Space beasts?" Grandma Jiang was shocked and subconsciously stared into the dark.
"Can they deal with them?" Jiang Chen asked.
"We will see."
After that, the three anxiously stood on the deck.
At the same time, Yu Nianzhen, Jiang Yue, and Ao Tian arrived in front of the space beasts.
[Let’s make a quick decision.] Yu Nianzhen transmitted and the other two nodded.
