Thinking this way made Di Tou's heart ache, and he could only let out a sigh. A long time ago, he had thought that he should rush to explore the world, so that if he did find a way back to Earth, it wouldn't be too late to take it. It seemed like he had already passed that deadline. No matter what he did, if he went back, as long as it wasn't another fairy tale situation in which he remembered nothing at all and everything that happened in the world of cultivation was forgotten in snap of one's fingers, he wouldn't be able to go back.
Not as the Di Tou he had left as.
Too much had changed, and no matter how much he wanted to deny that, and how much he tried to keep his original heart, that was the simple truth.
Time, experiences, and sufferings… all of these things changed a person. And Di Tou had gone through plenty of all three since he had arrived in the world of cultivation.
