Ning, Ely, and Emma went on a trip around the world. Their trip included going to every single place, every single city in the entire world, and staying there for a couple of days at least. That would take them years to complete, but what else could they really do? The trip started from the nearest place to where they were right now. Japan. Or at least, what was remaining of it. In the last hundred thousand years, the country Japan no longer existed, and in its stead was a new land that was way too divided to have a name. That was the case for every single country and location all over the world. Humans had died to almost nothing and went back to repopulating the planet so many times that the knowledge of the old world no longer existed. No one remembered when the planet didn't have Qi or Mana. No one remembered when the sky wasn't always dark, but rather had stars. No one remembered the people that had fought to save the planet. They didn't even remember there had been a war. The animals and plants had evolved now that they were in constant contact with Qi and mana. They had all adapted to using one of them and had become strong with it. Humans had also learned how to use it, but they hadn't evolved for it. They hadn't even evolved normally. Ning now knew why that was. It was all because Emma was so used to seeing their face that in her mind, that was what the humans were supposed to look. As such, despite the years that have passed, the humans of this world always looked the same, never evolving. In fact, the plants and animals instead learned how to evolve to look like a human instead. Ning arrived in a small medieval city on the island that used to be japan and found himself a place to stay. He made sure he and his wife and child have dressed accordingly so as to not stand out and started going around the city to learn about it. They viewed its culture, its foods, and its people. They stayed in that city for a couple of days before moving on to the other cities. The people there were cultivators more than anything as the Qi origin was close to them. The Mana Origin was on the other side of the planet, so Mana didn't really reach this side at all. Even if it did, there was no point in learning how to use mana when Qi was ever so abundant. Emma was beyond excited to finally see the other people up close, and when the people did see her, they felt the urge to bow toward her. It was only the weaker ones as the stronger ones didn't feel such an urge. Ning remembered this effect with Alexis back when he was in Vilmore and was surprised his own daughter had the same effect on the people here as well. Although, now that he thought about it, it did make sense. From one city to another, it took Ning about 2 years to go through the entirety of the islands that used to be Japan. Once done, they took a flying boat to the nearest land and continued their travels. The world had grown to be closer now than ever. There were teleportation formations everywhere and people themselves could just fly to wherever they wanted to either by themselves or using spirit boats that they could buy. Years slowly passed and Ning's family traveled through many cities. They came across some conflict in a few places, but there was nothing a single punch didn't solve for it. He was with Emma, so he made sure to not kill anyone, even if they deserved it. Emma herself couldn't kill anyone, and even hurting someone was hard for her, so Ning tried to avoid conflict if possible. Ely was more fierce than Ning, but she too held back when it came to these conflicts. The further the group moved from the Eastern lands, as it was called at this period, the lower the Qi and Mana became for them. However, as they continued west, they realized that while Qi continued lowering, Mana was now on the rise. Slowly, cultivators were getting harder to find and magic users were getting more and more in number. The population concentration of the planet had also been affected by this concentration of energy on two sides of the planet, which was why the eastern side of Europe, and most of Africa were very sparsely populated. Even when there were people living there, they wouldn't compare to the Cultivators and Mages of Eastern and Western lands. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 It was nearly 11 decades later that Ning and the rest arrived at the Western lands, where their journey continued. They finished all of Europe in about 9 more decades, Africa in about 7, and moved on to the two Americas that were now known as the Mixed lands. With Mana and Qi Origin being closer to them, both Mages and Cultivators could be found in this place, creating a rather unique environment to live in. Ning and the rest spent about 9 decades in this place that was populated with quite a lot of people and had many, many cities for them to go through. After going through the Lone land that was the Australian continent, their trip had completed. All in all, the total trip took their family nearly 40 decades to go through the entire planet. 4 centuries was enough for the planet to have changed again for them, but that was enough for them. Ning returned back to the Qi origin where his family had made their place and lived the rest of the time with everyone there. This was all he had ever wanted and there was nothing he would ever want either. His wife, his daughter, his family, and his friends-- they were Ning's world, and he had them with him right there. With them there, he could live happily ever after and not worry about a single thing ever again. [End of Book 7: My World]
