While the Tushan Incarnation was busy in the Northern Plains, Jiang Ding had already left the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, broken through the atmosphere, entered the inner parts of the planet, and arrived at his home in Rongcheng City.
Jiang Ding walked through the middle of the residential area, surrounded as always by many curious gazes.
He paused slightly.
This again, another time like this.
It seemed like decades, perhaps even a century since he last visited home. Back then, he even met a neighbor, a young couple.
But this time, they were nowhere to be seen; he didn't even see their aged selves.
In this entire residential area, where he grew up from an infant, there wasn't a single familiar face in sight.
Even if he got to know someone now, they wouldn't be there the next time.
Jiang Ding lost the desire to greet or get to know new neighbors.
He walked straight to his house, took out the key, and opened the front door.
