ILSITM Chapter 29

We busied ourselves again, planting the baobab seedlings one by one into the dug pits.

“With the weak sunlight, air, and rainwater here, as long as we modify it, this planet should be suitable for humans and animals to live on,” Old Lin said as he worked.

That day, “morning,” we were sitting by the water pit, just finishing breakfast when we heard a familiar “buzzing” sound from overhead.

We looked up at the sky and saw a ladybug-shaped aircraft slowly descending.

The four of us stood up at the same time, waving our hands at it.

“Hello there!” the ladybug-shaped aircraft greeted us proactively after descending to our head level.

“Besides Chinese, do you speak other languages?” Wen Rourou asked, looking at the intelligent aircraft with interest.

“I also speak English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, French, and other major working languages used by the United Nations,” the intelligent aircraft replied.

“We traveled here from an underground cave on Earth. Do you know if there are any caves on this planet that can take us back to Earth?” This most important question, I forgot to ask the intelligent aircraft last time.

The intelligent aircraft thought for a while and then said, “You can travel back to Earth from this big water pit.”

I looked at the water pit in front of me, a little disbelievingly, and confirmed again, “Are you saying we can travel back to Earth from this water pit?”

“Yes,” the intelligent aircraft said.

“Have you traveled back to Earth from this water pit?” Old Zhang asked.

“I haven’t. I’m here to work, and I can’t go back until the work is finished,” the intelligent aircraft replied.

“When are you going back to Earth?” the intelligent aircraft asked.

“The time is not yet determined. We’ll go back when everyone wants to return to Earth,” I said, glancing at Old Lin, Old Zhang, and Wen Rourou before answering.

“If you go back to Earth, will you come back here again?” the intelligent aircraft continued to ask.

“Yes, we will. We know the way now, so we will definitely come often,” I said affirmatively.

About half a month later, we decided to return to Earth.

We took out our backpacks from the tree hole, put them on our shoulders, and walked to the water pit.

This water pit was about eight or nine meters long, four or five meters wide, and one and a half meters deep.

I picked a baobab fruit from the tree and put it in my backpack.

After we planted such a large area of baobab trees, not only did the air quality in this area improve, but even the water in this water pit became clearer.

I stood by the water pit, still a little disbelieving that this water pit could take us back to Earth.

“I’ll go first,” Old Lin said.

I saw Old Lin go down into the water pit and slowly walk towards the middle of the pit.

What was previously a pit of clear water suddenly became muddy as Old Lin stirred in the pit.

Old Lin was one meter seventy tall, and this water pit seemed to be only one and a half meters deep, so half of Old Lin’s head was exposed above the water.

As Old Lin was about to reach the middle of the water pit, a magical scene occurred: Old Lin suddenly disappeared.

After a while, the water in the pit became clear and transparent again, but Old Lin was no longer in the water pit.

Old Zhang also went down into the water pit, followed by Wen Rourou, and I was the last to go down into the water pit.

When I walked to the middle of the water pit, I felt like I was sinking into a swamp, and my body was rapidly sinking. I gradually lost consciousness.

When I slowly regained consciousness, I felt like I was lying on a **surface.

“Prince Zhao is awake!”

“Yuanba is finally awake!”

I opened my eyes and saw several people standing around me.

I recognized them one by one, but not a single one was familiar.

“Who are you? Where am I?” I asked, looking at the people by the bed.

“Prince Zhao, I am the Prince of the Concubine Chai Shao. I brought you back to Chang’an in a carriage,” said a man who looked about thirty years old.

“Yuanba, I am your second brother, Li Shimin,” said a young man who looked about twenty years old.

“Li Shimin? There was a Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty. Which Li Shimin are you?” I said, looking at the young man who claimed to be my second brother.

“Prince Zhao, he is your second brother, Qin King Li Shimin. Don’t you recognize him?” said the man who claimed to be Prince of the Concubine.

I said “Oh”.

“Chai Shao, what exactly happened yesterday when you went to meet Yuanba? Why doesn’t Yuanba even recognize us?” Li Shimin glanced at me and then asked Chai Shao.

“Yesterday, I went to Tong Pass to meet Yuanba. On the way back, the weather changed drastically. The wind and clouds rose, there was a drizzle, and soon lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and heavy rain poured down. Strangely enough, the thunder only sounded over Yuanba’s head, which made Yuanba furious. He pointed at the sky with his hammer and cursed loudly. Then Yuanba tossed the hammer into the air, and when he looked up again, the four-hundred-pound hammer fell quickly and landed with a thud, hitting Yuanba right in the face. Yuanba fell off his horse. I rushed to help him, but suddenly a strange wind blew, sending sand and stones flying and dust soaring into the sky. In the sound of thunder, sparks flew everywhere. I and the soldiers took shelter under the eaves of a house. After a while, the wind stopped and the rain ceased. When we came out to look, we saw that Yuanba’s golden crown had fallen to the ground and his body was twitching non-stop, but he couldn’t be woken up. I had no choice but to transport him back to Chang’an in a carriage. I didn’t expect that he would wake up this morning, but he may have lost his memory due to a heavy blow to the head,” Prince of the Concubine Chai Shao said.

“Yuanba has been afraid of thunder since he was a child. How could he not be angry when the thunder only struck him? Never mind, never mind, it’s good that he’s awake. Let Yuanba rest for a few more days,” Li Shimin said as he left the room with the others.

After these people left my room, I lay on the **again for a while.

“How could a peerless overlord like Li Yuanba die so absurdly?” I wondered to myself.

In fact, Li Yuanba’s master, the Zijin Mountain hermit, had told him that if he encountered anyone using a golden tang in the future, he must not take their life, otherwise he would surely not die a good death.

Li Yuanba initially remembered his master’s teachings and did not forget to show mercy.

Later, when he dominated the world and his murderous intent rose, he no longer followed his master’s teachings. Not only did he start killing, but he killed more than one.

Wu Tianxi, who used the mixed sky tang, was torn apart by him despite his desperate pleas for forgiveness; Yuwen Chengdu, who used the gilded tang, let him go twice, but the third time they met again in front of Tong Pass, he was torn apart alive.

His master’s prophecy was still ringing in his ears, and Li Yuanba’s “unnatural death” was already destined.

I saw that there was also a backpack placed beside my pillow.

I opened the backpack, and the mobile phone, router, and cave exploration equipment for live broadcasting were still inside.

“I clearly traveled back to Earth from a water pit on the Black Hole Star with Old Lin, Old Zhang, and Wen Rourou, but why didn’t I return to Jiudong City, but traveled to the Tang Dynasty again? Where are Old Lin, Old Zhang, and Wen Rourou?” I lay on the **, completely puzzled.
