I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 444: Earth

Lu Heng remained silent, listening to the despair narrated by Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya.

According to the legend of the World of Eight Desolations, the Starry Sky Tomb is said to be a desolate place left behind by an ancient powerhouse who perished in a self-destructive explosion.

In the beginning, it was just a small chaotic energy within the void of nothingness, but with the passage of time, it rapidly expanded and grew larger.

Until now, this starry domain has become so vast and expansive that it surpasses the limits that a cultivator can transcend.

Once trapped inside, unless one immediately escapes upon entry, there is no way out from the depths of the Starry Sky Tomb. They can only despairingly and solitary transform into a suspended corpse within this icy and desolate world.

And the region where Lu Heng and his companions are currently located is within a certain part deep inside the Starry Sky Tomb. Because within the range perceptible by their divine senses, Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya cannot sense the slightest trace of chaotic nothingness.

Even if they continue to escape outward at every moment, it is feared that it will be difficult to flee from here before the spiritual energy is depleted.

Moreover, those who are within it are not even aware of which direction is closest to the edge of the universe. If they run in the wrong direction and fly deeper

In the expression of despair and helplessness on the face of Dragon Emperor, Lu Heng sighed and said, "Since the spiritual energy here is immensely valuable, stop using techniques to change your form. Just reveal your original appearance and conserve some spiritual energy."

Lu Heng, speaking, added another sentence, "Furthermore, I don't have a preference for young girls. If I must speak of it, I prefer women with tall and mature figures"

Lu Heng's words caused a slight blush to appear on Dragon Emperor's face.

Afterward, she underwent a transformation and finally reverted to her original appearance as an adult woman.

In the girl's heart, there was a mixture of embarrassment and a slight sense of delight.

Brother Lu specifically emphasized his preference for mature women. Is he concerned about me? Sob

With this in mind, the woman's complexion grew even more rosy.

Lu Heng cast a peculiar glance at her and said, "Although the Starry Sky Tomb is full of unpredictable dangers, we have ultimately come from the depths of the Dragon Emperor's realm. The ancient dragon clan must have left behind that tunnel, not solely intended to deceive future generations, right? Is there any means of finding a way out?"

Lu Heng's inquiry left the Dragon Emperor momentarily stunned.

She then produced a token and said, "This token is the key to the realm"

With that being said, the conversation abruptly halted.

Upon the Dragon Emperor retrieving this jade token, a luminous arrow swiftly illuminated on its surface, pointing directly towards the profound depths of the celestial expanse below.

It is evident that it is hinting at the direction they should proceed next.

The Dragon Emperor let out a sigh of relief, saying, "That's wonderful news, it seems we won't be trapped in the Starry Sky Tomb after all."

Lu Heng, squinting his eyes as he gazed at the stellar region indicated by the jade token, remarked, "It's not that simple"

After visiting the Extreme Hell Prison in the Mermaid Kingdom, Lu Heng's memory contained the celestial chart of the entire Milky Way galaxy. Therefore, with just a glance, he immediately recognized the direction indicated by the jade token.

There, should be the direction where Earth is located

Evidently, Earth indeed has a profound connection with the World of Eight Desolations, possibly harboring some kind of secret, as even the ancient dragon clan's hidden realms lead in that direction.

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Heng took a deep breath, feeling an undeniable surge of excitement within his heart.

After nearly three decades in the Celestial Desolation Realm, he never expected to come back in this manner.

This return not only unveils numerous ancient secrets that have puzzled Lu Heng but also grants him the opportunity to reunite with his parents and loved ones those familiar faces resurfacing before his eyes one by one.

The sentiments of Lu Heng's homecoming became increasingly urgent.

He said, "Let us hasten our departure and discover what lies hidden in the location indicated by this jade token."

Having spoken thus, Lu Heng transformed his body into a streak of ethereal light, soaring towards the profound depths of the starry sea.

Within her ethereal light, the Dragon Emperor observed Lu Heng's anxious expression, feeling somewhat perplexed. She wondered why the usually composed Wolf God had suddenly become so agitated.

However, as Lu Heng remained silent, she refrained from inquiring further.

Only standing within the radiance of Lu Heng, she couldn't help but speak, "Brother Lu, why not let Xiu Ya take over? You mustn't squander your own spiritual energy"

Lu Heng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you need not worry. My Heavenly Thunder Tao Foundation doesn't require the nourishment of spiritual energy. Even within this desolate and barren Starry Sky Tomb, I can cultivate normally. I can replenish my strength at any time and it is no different from being in the Celestial Desolation Realm."

As Lu Heng spoke, he casually waved his hand, gathering and dispersing a mass of pitch-black calamity clouds within the void space ahead. The surging power of calamity punishment left the Dragon Emperor in awe and astonishment.

"Ah? Brother Lu remains unaffected?"

In the radiance, the face of the Dragon Emperor was filled with delight, "Does this not imply that Brother Lu will not be trapped to death within the Starry Sky Tomb? Regardless of the circumstances, you will ultimately be able to depart?"

The first thought that came to the mind of this Dragon Clan Empress was unexpectedly happiness for Lu Heng.

However, it was quite evident that she had forgotten that she didn't possess the abilities of a Lu Heng

Lu Heng glanced at her and said, "Your Majesty, perhaps you should focus on yourself first."

After saying that, Lu Heng ceased engaging in conversation with the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Lu is right. Xiu Ya will enter a state of deep meditation. When we reach our destination, Brother Lu will then awaken me."

After speaking, the woman took a deep breath and rapidly shrank in size.

Finally, she transformed into a petite little dragon, measuring only one foot in length, and promptly curled up on Lu Heng's shoulder, falling fast asleep.

She entered the state of "turtle breath," minimizing the depletion of spiritual energy to the utmost.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lu Heng's eyelid twitched slightly, yet ultimately he tacitly approved of the other party's somewhat familiar gesture.

Amidst the gleam of escape, Lu Heng swiftly flew through one starry realm after another, accompanied by the slumbering miniature dragon nestled in his arms.

In the Celestial Desolation Realm, the velocity of this ordinarily paced escape light is now alarmingly rapid within the realm of starry skies.

Wherever the light reached, Lu Heng effortlessly pierced through one spatial node after another, continuously engaging in interstellar leaps towards the distant horizon.

The spatial nodes that are difficult to perceive within the Celestial Desolation Realm can be easily detected here.

In such swift leaps, Lu Heng traversed the expanse of starry seas, enigmatic black holes, and flickering celestial bodies, starting from one end of the galaxy world, finally arriving in a familiar starry realm on the thirty-sixth day.

Emerging from within the spatial node, Lu Heng, accompanied by the slumbering little dragon, soared straight towards the solitary star amidst the frigid expanse of the cosmos.

The familiar aura within the space, along with the several planets orbiting around the star, all evoked a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality in Lu Heng.

Ultimately, he arrived at the side of a deep blue planet.

The planet with a satellite spinning in the cosmic space, which Lu Heng had encountered in various forms such as illustrations, films, and textbooks.

However, to witness continents and oceans teeming from the vantage point of the universe, as is now the case, is an experience that is truly unparalleled.

Lu Heng's emotions surged with excitement once again.

Has he finally returned after being away from home for thirty years?

After thirty years, are my parents still alive? They had always been in robust health, coupled with the advancements in medical science, living past their seventies shouldn't be difficult

And what about those familiar faces, the acquaintances After thirty years, how did they turn out?

In that moment, the Earth appeared before Lu Heng's eyes, so familiar and yet so unfamiliar, to the extent that he even felt a faint sense of trepidation, hesitating to approach.

He is afraid of encountering undesired scenes upon landing on the planet
