Chapter 246 246: Home

??The next morning, the Divine Empress returned to the desolate Royal City. She stepped inside the Palace that was covered in cracks. It was a miracle that the palace was still standing.

She located Xu Shan within the Palace, finding him inside the bedroom that belonged to her. This was also the place where she had first met him face to face.

Xu Shan was lying in bed comfortably with his eyes closed. He didn't even bother to look towards the Divine Empress when she entered the room.

Thinking that he was asleep, the Empress slowly moved back, letting him sleep. However, before she could leave the room, she heard Xu Shan's voice.

"You seem to be feeling better now."

"How did you know?" she asked, frowning. Xu Shan didn't even look at her after all.

"If you weren't, you wouldn't have returned. Honestly, I was half expecting you to give up on everything and return to your family, asking for forgiveness," Xu Shan smiled as he sat up, his deep eyes finally glancing at the woman.

"I must say, you haven't disappointed me," he added.

"What if I had left?" the woman asked.

Xu Shan couldn't help but burst into laughter. However, that laughter sent a chill down her spine. She could feel a heavy killing intent that made her feel suffocated.

Xu Shan didn't answer but she had already received her answer. If she had disappointed him, then her fate wasn't going to be peaceful. She had completely forgotten what kind of entity this man was.

She was slightly relieved that she hadn't left. If she had, it would've been all for naught. Not only would she have been killed, but the same fate would've followed her family that she had helped escape without them realising.

She had no doubt that Xu Shan could easily find them if he wanted. The only reason they were still alive was because he wanted it that way.

"Are we going to the Heavenly Realm?" she asked Xu Shan. There was only one destination left for them to go. It was the realm beyond where true Immortals lived.

The mere upper realm wasn't worth their time as they had long surpassed its limits. This world could barely support her ascent to Immortal Realm, let alone to the realms beyond.

"Certainly," Xu Shan affirmed. "But before that, there's one last place I want to go."

As he spoke, a portal opened before him, connecting this world to the Celestial Realm.

"What place?" the woman asked, not understanding what could be more important than the heavenly realm. She was already looking forward to entering the world of immortals.

She couldn't understand how Xu Shan was so calm. If she was in his place, she could've long gone there.

"My home." Xu Shan's words fell in the Divine Empress' ears while his figure disappeared within the portal.

"His... home...?" The Divine Empress muttered as she subconsciously stepped towards the portal.

She didn't understand just what kind of home Xu Shan had grown up inside. Just what kind of home could give birth to a demonic being like him? She was also curious about his family now, wondering if they were as abnormal as him.

She also disappeared within the portal which soon disappeared.

The palace that had barely stood intact, also came crashing down. The Royal Palace of the Divine Empire was left in ruins, just like the ruined world that had lost everything.

Although the world had survived, the population had dwindled to mere tens of thousands, all beings without any Cultivation left. The world had also lost its essence.

At this moment, the world wasn't an Upper Realm. It was even worse than a lower world. For years to come, none of the surviving people could achieve the slightest of cultivation.

The world was completely abandoned by Heaven.

....

Xu Shan stepped out of the Spatial Portal, finally returning to his world. He was finally back to the Celestial Realm.

The last time he left, it wasn't because of his own will. Instead, he was forced to leave to save his life. Until now, he didn't know who the young man was that had come to take his life.

He also didn't know how a mere General under his father appeared to know that person. It should've been impossible since now Xu Shan was certain that the man was from the Realm of Immortals. He was from Heaven.

At that time, Xu Shan wasn't able to grasp the man's strength from his aura. But now that he had touched the Immortal Celestial Realm, he had more clarity.

He was certain that the man was also in the Immortal Celestial Realm. As for which level in the realm, he didn't know.

He had a lot of questions when he was forcefully pushed into a middle realm world. Now that he was back, he wanted the answer to all those questions.

He appeared near the Eternal Dynasty Borders, slightly cautious since he didn't know the situation in this world. He treated this world as a complete stranger, not sure if he was going to be greeted by an enemy army or if that young man was still here or not.

He didn't care even if that man was here. However, he didn't want to enter into a situation that was harmful for him, especially without gaining full understanding.

Unfortunately, the moment he observed his surroundings, his expressions turned dark.

Behind him, the Divine Empress also arrived. She appeared even more stunned than Xu Shan. "This is your home?"

The sight before her was something she couldn't have expected even in her wildest dreams. She had thought that her world was left in a bad condition, but this world... It was even worse.

As far as she could see, there was absolute destruction. In her world, there were at least a few people alive in every city. But in this world, there were none. It was absolute carnage.
