Graham and Alex walked through the fields, looking at everything that was growing.

“This looks much better than when I was taking care of it all alone,” he said. “He really did quite an amazing job with the field.”

“Everything looks easy, to be honest,” Alex said. “From water to pesticides. Even the animals are given food through the system setup. It seems the workers are there to help with the rest, but the farm can survive a few days with minimal care.”

“It’s quite amazing how the world has come to change in the past 40 years,” Graham said.

“It’s changed a… lot,” Alex said as he slowly looked toward the forest. He could hear the wind picking up all of a sudden, reminding him of something from the past.

‘That’s right,’ he thought. ‘I used to hear the winds howl every night before I went to sleep. Is that it?’

Alex’s Demon Eyes shined purple as he looked at the world with a different light. There was nothing different in the area at all as no aura or Qi could remain there at all. However, when he lifted his head slightly to look past the trees, he saw something else.

Like an ocean of colors, the nebulous cloud of Qi moved like a behemoth in the sky. Alex felt a sense of fear when he saw the amount of Qi that was in those clouds.

‘That’s probably more Qi than over 100 spirit veins combined,’ he thought. And they were all gathered in just that one little spot on the horizon.

The massive cloud of Qi went around the land, and it was the Qi that was left behind that was the Qi barrier.

‘We would’ve died if we had come across that, wouldn’t we?’ Alex thought. He was sure that thing was strong enough to kill even Immortals if they weren’t careful enough.

He saw the massive cloud pass by and leave behind a calmer, but still terrifying barrier of Qi that would destroy anything that tried to get close to it.

“Father, stay here for a moment, okay? I need to go check something,” Alex said and walked away.

Graham was a little confused, but he didn’t say anything.

Alex walked through the forest at the edge of what was his previous world. He now knew that the world was far vaster than this, but he still felt weird coming to the very edge.

‘Void,’ he thought to himself as he laughed about it. He continued walking until he came upon a land with no trees at all. The land there was completely destroyed, which meant that the Qi came as far as there.

However, right now, it was over a kilometer away from him. Alex stopped his Demon Eyes and his vision switched from one full of color, to one of nothing.

With the Qi no longer visible, he could see just how far the broken land went on. It was dozens and dozens of kilometers in the least. And this was the tail end of what went around the land, destroying everything.

Alex stepped back a bit, not daring to step on a land that had no trees at all. He continued watching the area until half an hour later he heard the wind pick up once again.

‘It’s already made a round?’ Alex thought. He stepped back even more and watched the gust of Qi come through the land once again, tearing through everything.

Alex took out a sword from his storage and threw it into the gust of Qi. The sword immediately struck the Qi and was hit by it from every direction.

Alex watched as the violent Qi destroyed the sword within less than a minute of being there. With such a destructive force, he got less and less hopeful that any of his items from back then had even survived at all.

He sighed and walked back.

He met with his father and after going through the farm a little more, they returned back to the house.

The four of them talked once again, this time about how the older Alex and Emily met in the first place.

Alex was very enamored by the story of what would’ve happened to him had he not been sent away to a distant land.

Graham enjoyed the entire story thoroughly, while Pearl slept the entire way through. He had apparently heard the story multiple times and no longer cared much to hear it.

By the time they stopped talking, it was time for dinner already. Afterward, Alex and Graham sat in the living room watching TV to catch up on the world.

The two older folks tried to stay up late as well, but it was impossible for them to stay awake for a long. Alex sent the two of them to sleep and stayed there watching everything about the world.

The news in the media was all about how everyone had come back from outside the void. It seemed people had become a way of existence outside the central continent now, and that was making waves in the news right now.

There were several interviews with several different people to learn more about the outer world, and many times Alex even heard his own name come up.

He cycled through the channels until there was nothing to watch, and at that point, he used the smartphone left behind by his clone to look up more stuff.

By the time the sun had come up, he had learned many things about this new world.

The older Alex and Emily woke up early to take care of the farm. Pearl also went with them to help with the farm as there were no workers at the moment to help the old couple.

Graham and Alex moved as well, and in about an hour, they had done everything. It would’ve taken significantly less time if Alex could use his Qi as well as he wanted, but since he did not, he had to stick to physical work.

Emily prepared some breakfast afterward and they all ate together once again.

“Will you go to meet Ronron’s master today?” Emily asked.

“Yes,” Alex said. “I’ve been looking forward to meeting with him for 4 decades now. I delayed it by a day yesterday so I could come here and meet Pearl, but I don’t think I can waste any more time.”

“I see,” Emily said. “Will Father be going too?”

“I should, shouldn’t I?” Graham asked. “I mean, I don’t need to meet this senior, but I do want to meet with my granddaughter.”

“Why don’t you stay here, father?” Alex asked. “It’s easier for me to go by myself. Pearl will have to stay anyway, so why don’t you spend some time with him?”

“What about my granddaughter then?” Graham asked.

“Hmm,” Graham gave it some thought. “Sure, I can take the time to go to the cemetery. I still have to visit Father and Mother’s graves.”

“That settles it then,” Alex said. “I will leave on my own.”
