"Is this where you live?" Zhan Lingfeng felt a surge of anger as he looked around.
Before him was a small hillside scattered with thatched cottages, which were hardly adequate for keeping warm. Glancing at the wooden houses in the distance, which were clearly of a much higher standard, Zhan Lingfeng's brows furrowed even more.
"Yes, this is the place assigned to us," Zhan Guihe replied.
"Dad, I helped them get here, and this is how they treat you?"
Zhan Lingfeng had always trusted his parents because he had done so much for the country. He believed that those in power would at least provide them with decent accommodations. He never expected they wouldn't even be given a proper place to live.
"They say it's due to Zhuo's anxiety," Huang Xiaocui added.
"What about the other relatives?"
At this question, a look of sadness crossed his parents' faces.
"The place we used to live suddenly faced a beast tide, and everyone fought desperately against the ferocious beasts. Too many people died in that battle, and many were scattered. Eventually, that place became deserted, and those in charge decided to abandon it," Zhan Guihe explained.
"Yes, many elderly people didn't know what was happening; they aged rapidly after arriving and one by one passed away. There were still some who cared for our family. You were always away, and there were rumors saying you wouldn't come back. This world is extremely dangerous; you might not even be alive out there. At first, people just talked about it, but later they all accepted it!"
As Huang Xiaocui spoke, tears streamed down her face.
"It's good that you're back; it's good that you're back!" Zhan Guihe kept repeating.
"Brother Xu, I thought I would never see you again!"
Li Xiuli clung to Zhan Lingfeng's arm as if afraid of losing him, tears also flowing down her cheeks.
Now Zhan Lingfeng was filled with resentment. After putting in so much effort, this was how his family ended up. From now on, he vowed never to be that kind-hearted person again.
With this thought in mind, Zhan Lingfeng said to the three of them, "We're not staying here anymore. Let's go find another place to live."
After hesitating for a moment, Huang Xiaocui said, "Can we really manage without everyone?"
"Don't worry, we can handle it," came the reply.
Seeing her mother wanting to tidy up some belongings, Zhan Lingfeng said, "There's no need; we have everything we need. We can create what we lack."
With that, he led the three of them toward the outskirts of the city, which no longer resembled a city.
In fact, everyone had been paying attention to Zhan Lingfeng and their situation. The sudden arrival of powerful individuals was significant to them, but many were dumbfounded to see them leaving the city like this.
"What is going on?" someone asked.
"I don't know! If we have such a powerful expert with us, what do we have to fear?"
"Exactly! Those who usually think too highly of themselves can't even handle the Skeleton Army!"
After Zhan Lingfeng and the others had left for a while, news about them began to spread.
At that moment, people learned many things about Zhan Lingfeng.
Upon understanding how those in power treated Zhan Lingfeng's family, too many people fell silent, while others were filled with anger. Everyone could empathize with Zhan Lingfeng's grievances.
"How could this happen?"
"This is ridiculous! We were able to enter here thanks to Zhan Lingfeng's efforts, and now that he's leaving, they think he's useless? No wonder he ignores us."
"Now look at this; most of those in power are dead, and now that the great expert isn't leading us anymore, what are we going to do?"
Everyone's hearts were in turmoil. The thought of food made it even harder for them to remain calm.
Zhan Lingfeng didn't want to care about those people's matters at all. After walking with his parents for a while, he said, "How is it here?"
As everyone looked around at the mountains and rivers, Zhan Lingfeng continued, "The key is to find a place where we can gather food. Our people have been fighting every day for food since they entered."
"Dad, you don't need to worry about this. This realm is not an ordinary world. In this realm, as long as you cultivate to a certain level, you will be able to be self-sufficient and well-fed. The reason you don't have food and clothing is that your cultivation hasn't reached the required level. Don't worry; you'll be able to achieve it soon."
"Brother Xu, can we really do it?" Li Xiuli looked at Zhan Lingfeng with bright eyes.
"Of course it's true. Now let me show you my abilities."
At this point, Zhan Lingfeng had already formed four continents, and the fifth continent existed only as a phantom. Creating a place of Spiritual Energy was naturally not a problem.
As he activated his Life Technique, the barren land began to change at an astonishing speed.
Zhan Guihe and the others were completely stunned; they hadn't expected Zhan Lingfeng to have reached such heights.
Looking around, they saw that everything had changed and become vibrant.
"Earth Element!"
With a wave of his hand, Zhan Lingfeng made the land around him transform. The ground was leveled, and all the weeds disappeared.
"Consolidate."
Soon, the areas began to take shape, and two villas appeared out of thin air. Then, a large wall was generated around these two villas.
Inside the wall was a scene reminiscent of a Jiangnan garden.
"Wood Element!"
In Zhan Lingfeng's Five Elements World, many plants had already been cultivated, and now a variety of flowers and grasses were arranged here. After using the Wood Element to stimulate growth, the place was filled with vitality.
"Water!"
"Metal!"
"Fire!"
With each word that Zhan Lingfeng shouted, the changes in the environment intensified.
Everything inside the house was generated.
Huang Xiaocui and the others were completely at a loss for words; they truly did not expect their son to have reached such heights.
"Alright, let's go inside and take a look," Zhan Lingfeng said, feeling pleased after completing these tasks. This was something he could only create after gaining insights from reaching the Four Continents. It was his first experiment, and he was surprised that it actually worked.
Once everyone entered the house, they were once again astonished. Some walls were tiled, the floor was wooden, and there was an array of furniture, even some clothes.
"Xu, did you create all of this?" Zhan Guihe exclaimed, his eyes wide open and unable to remain calm.
"This set is for you and Mom, while another set is for me and my husband. There are clothes and everything. You can take a shower; we will also take a shower. Let's all rest for a bit," Zhan Lingfeng said as he pulled the dazed Li Xiuli away.
