Chapter 1271: The Long Journey Back Home
Chapter 1271: The Long Journey Back Home
Thinking of this, Chu Chen sped up again.
If everything goes as he expects, then I still need to keep a low profile for now.
After all, he knew nothing about this world that had completely changed.
If you're too high-profile, and you encounter a super expert, you probably won't even know how you died.
Just as Chu Chen was hurrying towards Shacheng.
In the remote mountains of Guicheng, in a cave that was not blocked by heavy snow, a young man opened his eyes.
"Finally, I have merged with this body. Chu Chen, you almost killed me, but unfortunately, I was just a little short."
"Hahaha, just wait for my wrath."
Meanwhile, in the nearby city of Chuan, a man suddenly woke up in a dark room in a high-rise building.
"Damn it, he's finally awake. That kid Chu Chen is so damn cunning! And that weapon of yours almost killed me. Luckily, I ran fast!"
"I need to go out and see what kind of world this Galactic Realm, which everyone envies, is like."
However, just as he got up and was about to walk out...
Suddenly, he felt a heavy blow to his stomach.
Then, a man's voice came over: "You fucking stay put and do your job. You'll have your chance to get back to work."
Chu Chen was completely unaware of all this; at this moment, he was still on the highway leading to Shacheng.
Due to the power of his divine soul, his perception of what was ahead was exceptionally strong, so he pushed the snowmobile to its maximum speed.
On the highway, it's not much slower than driving before.
The speed has now increased to approximately 100 kilometers per hour.
Three hours later, Chu Chen stopped his snowmobile and looked at the ice city in front of him. A tear instantly rolled down his cheek.
It's been too long. I've been away from this city for far too long.
Hometown is an indelible part of everyone's heart.
Although the city is frozen.
Although the flow of time here is the same as in the places he visited before, more than two hundred years have passed, but Chu Chen still felt a sense of familiarity at a glance.
Back then, I used to ride an electric scooter through the streets and alleys.
After a long while, Chu Chen put his mind at ease, then hopped on his snowmobile and headed straight to the left.
Yes, that's where he was born.
The snowmobile sped along, and half an hour later, Chu Chen turned into the back of a small hill in the suburbs.
Then they rushed straight up to the mountainside.
Half an hour later, a figure sat on a large rock covered in ice and snow, a cigarette between his fingers, staring blankly at the ruins before him.
I was late after all.
Looking at the mountain behind the village, he couldn't even find the path he used to take to chop firewood when he was a child.
Although he had returned here before when he reached the Great Perfection of the Chu Tian Realm, it was not real. According to Long Batian, it was just an illusion he created for Chu Chen.
Although Chu Chen didn't admit it was an illusion, the feeling was completely different from actually setting foot on this land.
However, Chu Chen only stayed for the time it takes to smoke a few cigarettes before turning around and leaving.
The next moment, following the route he remembered in his mind, he arrived in front of the large shopping mall that had driven him crazy for a hundred years.
However, looking at the skyscrapers that were completely unfamiliar to him, Chu Chen finally shook his head.
Things have changed. In over two hundred years, everything has changed. The shopping mall is long gone, replaced by a super building.
It looks like there are over a hundred layers.
This high-rise building, completely covered in ice and snow, also reflects his previous status in the city.
He has few memories left, and even fewer familiar ones.
Although some places still feel familiar, they are no longer what they used to be after hundreds of years of development.
Chu Chen shook his head: "Yes, only I disappeared, or more precisely, only my soul. No one can change the course of humankind."
Looking at all the unfamiliar surroundings, Chu Chen felt no longer any attachment.
Ultimately, people must look forward.
If I hadn't traveled through time, I might have followed the conventional path of marrying and having children, only to be forgotten by this world two or three generations later.
Two hundred years have passed, and I will have no trace of myself in this world, not even a memory.
So why do people work so hard and worry so much in their short hundred years of life?
In the long river of time, you are not even a grain of sand.
Therefore, for ordinary people, living in the present and experiencing the process of life to the fullest is the most important thing.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen stood up, turned around and left. He was just a grain of sand in the long river of time. Living well in the present, helping people return to a peaceful life, and letting the world return to a state of tranquility—perhaps that was the most meaningful thing.
With great power comes great responsibility; after all, he is no ordinary person.
As the snowmobile started, Chu Chen rode it slowly and leisurely through the streets.
Feeling the snowflakes falling from the sky and the sound of the wind in his ears, Chu Chen transformed back into his previous state in the next moment.
He raised his hand and lit a cigarette, then looked at the various signs on the street covered in ice and snow, a smile appearing on his face.
"Stop the car and get checked!"
Just as Chu Chen was feeling the breath of the new era, an untimely voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Looking around, he saw two men holding long knives and dressed in very thick clothes blocking his way.
Behind the two of them, a man who looked like a leader, with a pistol at his waist, looked at Chu Chen with disdain.
Chu Chen smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "Could these be the people from the human gathering point?"
The high-ranking officials mentioned by the survivors?
"Everyone, why are you stopping me?"
"Hmph, riding a snowmobile through the city in broad daylight, tell me, are you a spy from another country?"
Damn, these accusations just come out of nowhere!
Chu Chen then placed his hand on his lower back and coldly said, "And who are you three? What right do you have to doubt me?"
"Heh, you have no right to know who we are. Turn off the car and come here so we can inspect it."
After saying that, the two of them carried their long swords and walked towards Chu Chen.
Chu Chen grinned, thinking to himself that the gangs in Shacheng seemed to be even more powerful than the gangs in Hancheng, after all, they even had firearms.
I just don't know if they have anything like snow crystals here.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen immediately put the pistol back into his spatial storage with a thought, then promptly turned it off and stood up.
