Time flies like a stream, and since Gu Chen left the Nine Provinces to venture to lands beyond, it has now been a year and a half.
In this past year and a half, other than the initial commotion caused by Diancang Pavilion Master Zhou Yuan seizing a massive number of people to accommodate the descent of the nine Heavenly Being realm cultivators to the lower world, the rest of the time, the entire Nine Provinces remained extremely tranquil.
So much so that one wonders if it's due to Gu Chen heading towards the space channel that even the number of demons and ghosts in the Nine Provinces world seemed to have lessened.
The common people lived in peace and worked happily, enjoying security and health throughout the realm, everything evolving in a positive direction, with rich smiles blooming on everyone's faces.
