Chapter 334: Rebirth of the Star Realm
Chapter 334: Rebirth of the Star Realm
The letter paper burned up at his fingertips. Gao Xingchen looked at the last trace of ashes floating in the night sky, his eyes deep and firm. The anonymous letter full of threats did not stir up too many waves in his heart, but instead aroused a burning fighting spirit. He would let those villains hiding in the dark know that the Gao family is not an object to be bullied.
"What's wrong?" Nan Li felt the change in Gao Xingchen's mood, and a gentle voice sounded in his ears.
Gao Xingchen turned around, took Nan Li into his arms, stroked her hair, and said softly, "It's okay, they are just some clowns, don't take it to heart."
Nan Li did not ask further questions. She believed in Gao Xingchen's ability and believed that the relationship between them could withstand any storm. She nodded gently and snuggled in Gao Xingchen's arms, feeling the tranquility and warmth.
The peaceful days did not last long. Under the leadership of Gao Xingchen and Nanli, the Gao family embarked on a journey to a new territory. This land is located on the edge of the star field, far away from disputes, with fertile soil and abundant spiritual energy, making it a good place to recuperate.
"This is our new home!" Gao Xingchen stood on a huge rock, looking into the distance, his tone full of hope and longing.
The tribesmen cheered, and all the fatigue from the journey was gone. They were eager to take root in this land and rebuild their homes.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li did not slack off at all. They knew that if they wanted to survive in this strange land, they had to work harder than before. They divided the tribesmen into several groups, each responsible for tasks such as reclaiming wasteland, building houses, patrolling and guarding.
Gao Xingchen personally led a team of people, wielding hoes, and reclaimed fertile farmland. The star power in his body circulated, turning into golden light, blending into the land, nourishing every inch of soil. Under his leadership, the originally barren land was full of vitality.
Nanli organized women and elders to sow the collected seeds in the fields. She used her knowledge to teach the tribesmen how to identify soil fertility, how to irrigate and fertilize, and how to increase crop yields.
Under the leadership of the two, the construction of the new territory was in full swing. Brand new houses were rising from the ground, golden wheat fields were swaying in the wind, and laughter echoed between the fields.
However, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li knew that this was just the beginning. They still had many challenges to face, and the threat from the "Netherworld Valley" was always lingering in their minds. The road ahead was still long...
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li did not slack off at all. They knew very well that if they wanted to survive in this strange land, they would have to work harder than before.
“Xingchen, although we have migrated here, the threat from the Nether Valley still exists. We must enable our people to protect themselves as soon as possible.” Nanli frowned slightly, her worry evident in her words.
"You are right. I will seize the time to train my clan members and improve their cultivation." Gao Xingchen nodded, held Nan Li's hand tightly, and gave her a reassuring look. "But you don't have to worry too much. I have contacted the clan leaders of several nearby families to discuss forming an alliance to jointly resist foreign enemies."
Nan Li then felt relieved a little. She knew Gao Xingchen's talents very well and believed that he could handle these things.
In the following days, Gao Xingchen focused on training the tribe members and forming alliances with other families, while Nanli focused on the daily life of the tribe members. She found that the tools used by the tribe members were still very simple and the production efficiency was low, so she used her rich knowledge to teach the tribe members how to use the existing materials to make more practical farm tools and weapons.
Under her guidance, the tribesmen quickly mastered the production techniques, and sharp sickles, hoes, and bows and arrows were made, greatly improving production efficiency and self-defense capabilities.
At night, Gao Xingchen finished his business and returned to his and Nan Li's love nest.
"How do you feel today?" Gao Xingchen asked gently, handing Nan Li a cup of fragrant tea.
"The tribesmen are very smart and have a quick learning ability. I believe we will be able to settle down in this land soon." Nanli took the teacup and a gratified smile appeared on her face.
"That's good." Gao Xingchen gently stroked Nan Li's soft long hair. "By the way, I noticed that Xiaobai has been acting a little strange recently. He always runs deep into the forest, as if he's looking for something."
Nan Li heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. Xiaobai was her spiritual pet, and she was in tune with him. There must be a reason for his abnormal behavior...
Nan Li pondered for a moment, put down the teacup, stroked the soft fur of Xiaobai beside him, and asked softly: "Xiaobai, did you find anything?"
Xiaobai rubbed Nanli's hand affectionately, let out a low moan, then stood up and ran out the door.
"Where is it taking us?" Gao Xingchen asked puzzledly, looking at Xiaobai's back.
“Just follow them and you’ll find out.” A hint of curiosity flashed in Nanli’s eyes. She took Gao Xingchen’s hand, followed Xiaobai, and walked into the forest shrouded in darkness.
The moonlight shone through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground. Xiaobai shuttled through the forest with ease, stopping from time to time to look back to see if Gao Xingchen and Nanli were keeping up.
After walking for about half an hour, Xiaobai stopped in front of a valley and walked around excitedly.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li walked closer and saw clear spring water gushing out from the depths of the valley, forming a stream that flowed slowly. Beside the stream, various unknown flowers and plants bloomed, emitting bursts of fragrance.
"What a beautiful place!" Nan Li couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yeah, if it weren't for Xiaobai leading the way, it would have been difficult for us to find this place." Gao Xingchen also sighed.
Xiaobai wagged his tail proudly, ran to the stream, lowered his head and began to drink.
Gao Xingchen walked to the stream, scooped up a handful of clear stream water, took a sip, and immediately felt a cool breeze penetrating into his heart, and his spirits were lifted.
"The spiritual energy of this stream is so abundant!" Gao Xingchen said in surprise, "If we can divert this stream water to the village, it will not only solve the drinking water problem of the tribesmen, but also nourish the land and increase the yield of crops."
Nan Li nodded in agreement and said, "I will go and inform the tribesmen to bring tools over tomorrow."
Gao Xingchen held Nan Li's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, let's take a break and enjoy this beautiful night view."
Nan Li smiled slightly and snuggled in Gao Xingchen's arms, feeling this rare tranquility and happiness. Under the moonlight, their figures looked particularly warm and beautiful.
In the next few days, with the help of Xiaobai, Gao Xingchen and Nanli discovered several mineral veins hidden deep in the forest. These mineral veins were rich in iron and copper ores, providing sufficient raw materials for the Gao family to make weapons and farm tools.
As their homes were gradually built, the tribesmen's lives began to get back on track and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
However, just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, a sudden natural disaster struck their homeland, destroying large tracts of farmland and houses...
Astral Rebirth
A month passed quickly, and Gaojia Village rose from the valley. Houses were built along the stream, and the fields were full of new seeds. Men worked in the fields, women washed clothes and chatted at the entrance of the village, and children read aloud in the newly built school. It was a peaceful and tranquil scene.
"Xingchen, look, isn't our life now much better than before?" Nanli stood beside Gao Xingchen, looking at the thriving scene in front of him with a gratified smile on his lips.
Gao Xingchen nodded, his eyes full of emotion: "Yes, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to settle down here so quickly." He held Nanli's hand tightly, his heart full of gratitude.
"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts." Nan Li smiled gently, and glanced at the figures busy in the fields in the distance, "Look, everyone is very happy, isn't it?"
Gao Xingchen followed Nan Li's gaze and saw that the faces of the tribesmen were all filled with happy smiles and their hearts were filled with warmth.
However, at this moment, the originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy, with howling winds and rolling dark clouds, as if doomsday was coming.
"What's going on?" Gao Xingchen was shocked and looked up at the sky.
"Oh no, it's a beast tide!" Nan Li's face changed and he said in a serious tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared in the distant sky, accompanied by deafening roars of beasts, and swept towards the direction of Gaojia Village.
"Quick, sound the alarm, gather everyone, and prepare to meet the enemy!" Gao Xingchen made a prompt decision and ordered loudly.
The rapid sound of bells echoed through the valley, and the originally peaceful and tranquil Gaojia Village instantly entered a level one alert state. The men picked up their weapons and quickly gathered at the entrance of the village, while the women took their children and hid in the newly built fortifications.
"Xingchen, the scale of this beast tide is larger than ever before, we..." Nanli looked at the herd of beasts getting closer and closer in the distance, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid. We are no longer the Gao family that was at the mercy of others." Gao Xingchen clenched the sword in his hand, with a determined light flashing in his eyes. "Even if I have to do my best, I will protect everyone!"
Before he finished speaking, the beast tide had already rushed to the entrance of the village, and a tragic battle was about to break out...
