Chapter 2408 - 2409: Re-entering the Path of the Star River
In the vast universe, Ye Qiu doesn’t know where he should go. Although Di Shi Tian has already been slain by him, it ultimately cannot change the fact that his once beloved, friends, and clansmen are all gone.
Where should he go?
This feeling is like suddenly losing one’s goal, becoming bewildered.
Ye Qiu has been drifting in the universe for a long time, going where the tides take him, indifferent to black holes and cosmic storms appearing nearby.
His strength rivals that of the supreme; in the universe, few can harm him.
A month passed like this, then another month, as Ye Qiu continued to wander aimlessly in the cosmos.
Until the Heavenly Heart Seal at the center of his soul started to burn, only then did Ye Qiu’s eyes gradually show spirit.
The Heavenly Heart Seal is calling him.
The voice of the Lord of the Galaxy echoed in his mind.
"Teacher..." Ye Qiu’s eyes finally regained color as he gazed intently towards the direction of the Galactic Road, vanishing in an instant.
When he appeared again, he was already on the Galactic Road.
The Galactic Road was closed, but it’s not something that could stop a superpower like Ye Qiu.
Within the Ancient Galactic City.
All around is boundless gloom and darkness, like an eternal world without light.
If a normal person stayed in the Ancient Galactic City, they would inevitably find it hard to adapt, but if they stayed long enough, they’d grow accustomed to it.
Above the Ancient Galactic City, a few figures stand, responsible for guarding the place.
When the Galactic Road opens, guarding the city is naturally not a good job, because abyssal demons would appear. Stopping them from entering the city is an arduous task.
This is especially memorable for those who have battled the abyssal demons before.
"Once the Galactic Road closes, it’s really comfortable, not having to face numerous abyssal demons every night."
"Aside from being a bit dull, everything else here is great. Staying behind was a good choice."
"Indeed, if we had chosen to leave back then, our strength wouldn’t have improved as quickly. Martial arts are inherently dull; only those who can endure loneliness can progress."
All these ancient city guards are young faces. If looked at closely, they might seem familiar, as they were martial artists who chose to stay after the Galactic Road closed last time.
The closed Galactic Road no longer has abyssal demons, so being a guard isn’t much work. Guarding the city isn’t worrisome, allowing for occasional laziness and chatting.

This is a good thing for them, having entered here as Loose Cultivators and lived until now.
At least they now have a place to rely on, becoming staff within the Ancient Galactic City, no longer scattered cultivators without a fixed abode, background, or backing.
The guards feel grateful for staying; they don’t regret it. There’s no competition here, and it’s quite leisurely. Plus, they occasionally get advice from the Order Enforcers to improve their strength.
This was unimaginable before.
While they were marveling at their happy lives, suddenly, they saw a figure approaching from afar.
This shocked everyone.
The Galactic Road is closed, so why a person suddenly appears? Who wouldn’t be afraid?
"Quick, report to the Order Enforcer, there’s a mysterious person appearing, it’s unknown if they are friend or foe."
The guards on the city wall were somewhat panicked. After the Galactic Road closed, nobody appeared, and now suddenly a person does, it’s naturally frightening.
This place isn’t a homeland or some other life planet. It’s the Galactic Road, a vast space resembling a small world, not a place anyone can enter.
Precisely because they know this, the guards are anxious.
One person ran to report the matter, while the others stayed, waiting tensely. If this person bears ill intentions, they can only brace themselves.
They gulped nervously, watching the ever-nearing figure.
As the figure approached from hundreds of meters away, to tens of meters, to standing below the ancient city, the guards above completely saw the face of the newcomer.
"It’s... it’s... it’s him..."
"How could it be him..."
When the guards saw clearly that the newcomer was Ye Qiu, they all froze. They hadn’t expected the mysterious person to be Ye Qiu. How did he come here? Didn’t he leave long ago?
A pile of questions formed in their minds, all wearing puzzled expressions.
Being here, they knew nothing of all Ye Qiu’s actions after leaving the Galactic Road, not even Di Shi Tian’s death or the destruction of the celestial palace, otherwise, their shock would be even greater.
Since the newcomer is Ye Qiu, their worries lessened. They had once fought alongside Ye Qiu, being among the same group entering the Galactic Road, knowing Ye Qiu’s temperament isn’t bad. He only had conflicts with Tai Yi, Stone Demon Lord, etc., never having disputes with others.
No matter how Ye Qiu appeared here, their hearts settled a bit.
"Visitor, could you be Ye Fentian?"
Despite knowing it was Ye Qiu, they still asked such a question, wanting to know Ye Qiu’s purpose here.
Ye Qiu didn’t speak; returning to the Ancient Galactic City was a recollection for him.
The first time he came here was his first entry into the Galactic Road, transitioning from Void Realm to Supreme Saint, exchanging blows with Tai Yi, Stone Demon Lord, Walker, and others, even slaying many cosmic powers. His strength greatly improved, making the gains within the Galactic Road invaluable.
Ye Qiu remained silent; the guards above had no response as Ye Qiu didn’t speak nor reply.
Attacking seemed unlikely, Ye Qiu did nothing and even facing him, they weren’t his opponents. Ye Qiu’s battles with Tai Yi, Stone Demon Lord were still vivid in memory. Lastly, Ye Qiu fought countless cosmic powers alone and left alive; such power is beyond them.
Ye Qiu’s strength should be even more formidable now.
While the guards pondered what to do, two figures flew out from within the city, appearing directly before Ye Qiu.
It was the Order Enforcers!
The guards saw it was Jialan Order and Difeng Order Enforcers.
"Lord Ye, please come in."
Jialan and Difeng spoke respectfully.
Upon hearing this, the guards were dumbfounded. The Order Enforcers were too polite to Ye Qiu, actually addressing him as Mr. Ye.
Is it really necessary?
