Chapter 4605: The terrifying power within the earth
"Yanyan, is everyone ready?" Ye Chen asked Zhao Yanyan.
"Mmm, everyone is ready; they can’t wait to go back," Zhao Yanyan told Ye Chen.
Everyone was eager to return; they had clearly enjoyed themselves and were keen to head back soon.
"I see, It seems like they are really over-excited." Ye Chen acknowledged.
After a few days, everything was set; everyone gathered together, ready for the return journey.
"It’s been so long; I can finally go home," Liu Yue said, unable to contain her eagerness.
"I can’t wait to go back, either," Su Mengxin added, looking forward to returning and seeing her family.
"I wonder if anything has changed since we left," Chu Yuechan mused.
Chu Yuechan was curious about whether things had changed during their absence.
"Surely, a great many things have changed," Ye Chen said with certainty; he was convinced that things would be different.
Since quite a bit of time had passed, changes were inevitable.
"Alright, let’s go back and enjoy it all," Ye Chen said, embracing all the women.
Even the women who belonged to him—those from the Supreme God Realm—were coming along.
They were all curious; having never been there before, they wanted to know what awaited them in the God Realm.
"Let’s go back..." Ye Chen immediately opened a gateway using his dimensional powers.
He stepped through, accompanied by all the women.
Shen Niang followed behind; for some reason, she had become quite quiet ever since the battle involving the Demon Core.
Whatever was on her mind or whatever had happened to her—something had certainly occurred, as she had changed slightly.
She hadn’t even made an appearance during the battle against the Immortal King.
Ye Chen and the others were completely unaware of this; they believed everything was safe and sound.
Upon arriving in the God Realm, everyone went their separate ways to their respective locations, presumably to check on the condition of their territories and homes.
Ye Chen and Zhao Yanyan returned to Earth; they quickly made their way back to a planet that looked incredibly lush and beautiful.
"Is this really our home? It’s completely different from before, isn’t it?" Ye Chen remarked to Zhao Yanyan.
"It’s been quite a while since we were last here; everything has changed. There’s no more heavy industry—everyone is a cultivator now." Zhao Yanyan observed the transformation; Earth had become a realm for cultivators, lush and green once more, restored to a pristine state free from pollution.
Although the population had yet to fully recover—the scars of the past Demon calamity still lingered for everyone—Earth was a place teeming with life. Recovery was proceeding rapidly, and Ye Chen was pleased to see it.
"Let’s go see everyone," Ye Chen said to Zhao Yanyan.
Together with Zhao Yanyan, Ye Chen visited all their acquaintances; they gathered and held a small celebration for everyone.

Deep within the Earth...
A dormant dark power began to awaken—a truly terrifying force of darkness.
Compared to the Demon Core, this power was far more terrifying and immense in scale, sending shivers down the spines of anyone who sensed it.
"It has finally arrived." They sensed its arrival—the key that would release them from their seal.

Zhao Yanyan and Shui Yixian were inside Shui Yixian’s Palace of Light.
"Sister, I’ve only just returned; why did you call me here?" she asked Shui Yixian.
"Yanyan, could you help me?" Shui Yixian asked Zhao Yanyan.
"Help? What kind of help do you need? If I can do it, I’ll certainly help you," Zhao Yanyan replied, ready to assist Shui Yixian.
"There’s something strange about my ability. For some reason, I can’t see what’s going to happen next, this has never happened before," Shui Yixian told Zhao Yanyan, explaining that she was unable to foresee future events.
Shui Yixian could see nothing but darkness, which struck her as deeply unsettling.
Everything around them had turned dark and ominous.
"Alright, I’ll help you," Zhao Yanyan said to Shui Yixian.
Zhao Yanyan stepped in to assist, channeling a portion of her own power to Shui Yixian.
By combining their powers, they hoped to gain a clearer view.
Yet, when they merged their energies, nothing happened; the situation remained unchanged.
All they could see was darkness; there was nothing else visible to them at that moment.
Nothing but darkness met their gaze.
An impenetrable, terrifying darkness.
"It’s still the same," Shui Yixian said to Zhao Yanyan.
She still couldn’t sense anything.
"Perhaps it was just a coincidence; could your power be sealed or restricted by something?" Zhao Yanyan asked.
"I don’t know about that either." Shui Yixian was puzzled by the situation.
"Don’t dwell on it too much; everything is fine now," Zhao Yanyan said to Shui Yixian.
She reassured her that everything was alright, though she warned Shui Yixian not to use that power again.
"I understand. I’m sorry for calling you here; I know you’re busy." Shui Yixian apologized for taking up Zhao Yanyan’s time.
"It’s fine; I didn’t have anything to do anyway," Zhao Yanyan replied.
Shui Yixian nodded; she was relieved to hear that Zhao Yanyan was free.
"Instead of worrying about this, why not ask Sister Niang for help? She might know something," Zhao Yanyan suggested.
"That’s true, now that you mention it, I don’t know where she is right now." Shui Yixian didn’t know Shen Niang’s current whereabouts.
"I haven’t seen her for a few days since I got here, either." Zhao Yanyan hadn’t seen Shen Niang in days; for some reason, she often disappeared like that.
"Could something have happened to her?" Zhao Yanyan asked Shui Yixian.
It was possible that something had happened to Shen Niang.
"Something happened to her?" Shui Yixian was startled.
"She is incredibly strong; who could possibly pose a threat to her? Even Husband would struggle to face her at full power," Shui Yixian replied.
With Shen Niang’s power nearly fully restored, she should be the strongest person around—surpassing even Ye Chen and the others; there was no one who could defeat her now.
