"Of course, this just represents that I am not afraid of a Heavenly Venerable master. It doesn’t mean I can defeat a Heavenly Venerable... after all, a Heavenly Venerable wouldn’t just stand there and let me smash him. However, my ’Yuan Stabilizing Pearl’ should have very strong defense," Che Hou Yuan said with a smile.

In the end, Che Hou Yuan finally spoke a modest word.

"Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure, Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure..." Yi Feng God King sighed twice, nodding with a smile, "Brother Che Hou, my admiration for you now isn’t something that words can easily describe... Come, a toast to you!" Yi Feng God King said, lifting his cup with a smile.

Having a Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure didn’t mean one could fight against a Heavenly Venerable.

After all, even with a good weapon, it depended on the strength of the person using it. For instance, Qin Yu, even though he possessed the Residual Snow Divine Spear. If he were to directly confront Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate, he would still stand little chance.

...

After the banquet, persuaded by Qin Yu and others, Che Hou Yuan decided to stay at Zixuan Mansion. After all, Zixuan Mansion had ’Ah Fu’ whom Che Hou Yuan was familiar with, they could consider him a disciple ’Qin Yu,’ and his old friend ’Yi Feng God King.’ Moreover, there were quite a few Holy Emperors and Divine Kings in ’Flowing Water Garden’ that he knew.

Che Hou Yuan stayed in Zixuan Mansion for about a year after that.

Then, a big event happened at Zixuan Mansion!

Somehow, Hou Fei got married again, last time Hou Fei had married Zixia, and this time it was with Hong Yun. Although Qin Yu knew about the entanglement between Hou Fei and Hong Yun, he had not intervened, these two rivals had finally come together after so many years of conflict.

It so happens, among the three brothers Qin Yu, Hei Yu, and Hou Fei, only Hou Fei now had two wives.

We’ll put aside the chaos of the wedding day for now, but a very strange thing happened!

"Zixia and Hou Fei have been husband and wife for quite a few years now and had no children. Unexpectedly, Hong Yun got pregnant just after marrying Hou Fei, not only Hong Yun but Zixia too, it’s really quite extraordinary," Hei Yu said with a laugh.

At that moment, the three brothers, Qin Yu, Hei Yu, and Hou Fei, were drinking and laughing together.

"Feifei, you’re really something," Qin Yu also said, giving a thumbs up with a laugh.

Hou Fei, instead of blushing, laughed proudly, "Just average, Big Brother has two kids already, me having two isn’t much. By the way, Big Brother, Mixed Feathered Bird, my two kids will probably be born in about eight or nine months, what do you think their names should be?"

"Names? Let me think," Hei Yu immediately began to think.

At that moment, Qin Yu suddenly frowned.

Because he suddenly felt that Uncle Lan had come out of the New Universe, and rather than returning to Zixuan Mansion, Uncle Lan had gone somewhere else.

"Uncle Lan got the Ten Thousand People Seal not long ago, he should be in seclusion to properly comprehend it. Why has he come out of the New Universe so soon?" Qin Yu wondered to himself.

Everything that happened in the New Universe couldn’t escape Qin Yu’s notice; naturally, he knew the moment Jiang Lan left.

"Yes, I’ve thought of it, the boy will be called Hou Yin, and the girl, Hou Yin," Hei Yu’s voice rang out.

Qin Yu no longer thought about Jiang Lan’s situation, Uncle Lan was free to do what he wanted, and Qin Yu wouldn’t intervene.

"Hei Yu, honestly, the names you come up with are really cliché," Qin Yu also laughed and then joined the three brothers in discussing the names of the upcoming children...

Northern Pole Snow City.

This black city, bathed in endless snowflakes, contained a trace of poignant romance. The Heavenly Gods of the entire Snow City were still the same as before, scarcely affected by the several Divine King wars that had occurred continuously.

Inside the Holy Emperor Hall of the Imperial Palace in Snow City.

The wife of the Northern Pole Saint Emperor, Jiang Lan, ’Chunyu Rou,’ stood outside the study contemplating for quite some time before she gently knocked on the door.

Her husband ’Jiang Lan’ was inside the study.

Ever since he had returned to Snow City about four years ago, Jiang Lan had stayed alone in his study, rarely speaking, and even his sons and daughters could not see him. In the entire Snow City, only Chunyu Rou could have a few words with Jiang Lan.

"Creak—" The wooden door opened.

Sunlight streamed through the open door into the study, yet the interior of the study seemed like a forbidden zone for sunshine. A cold, oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire study, hiding Jiang Lan’s figure in the shadows.

Chunyu Rou silently sighed in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face as she stepped directly into the study. As soon as she entered, the door of the study closed behind her.

"Husband, you need not blame yourself every day. In fact, compared to other places, our Snow City has fared much better. I heard that in most other cities, the Divine Kings have fallen, and some cities don’t even have a single Divine King. Our Snow City is truly fortunate," Chunyu Rou said with a smile.

After a long silence, Jiang Lan, upon hearing his wife’s words, couldn’t help but smile faintly.

"My lady, you always know how to comfort me... You are right, compared to other cities, our Snow City indeed counts as lucky. I am like ’a tall man among a group of dwarfs,’" Jiang Lan said with self-mockery.

Chunyu Rou was secretly delighted.

After these days of continuous chats and jokes with Jiang Lan, he was no longer as silent and withdrawn as when he had just returned.

"My lady," Jiang Lan looked up at Chunyu Rou, "Tell me, did I make a mistake back then? Back then, for Li’er’s husband, I chose ’Zhou Xian.’ Was that a mistake?"

Jiang Lan’s heart was no longer steadfast.

"Husband, the decision has already been made, and regretting it now is useless. Why continue to live in regret and pain? After all, you are still the Northern Pole Saint Emperor, with no loss at all," Chunyu Rou consoled.

Jiang Lan nodded.

"Alas, it’s just that I always feel a bit discontent deep in my heart!" Jiang Lan thought of the ’Ten Thousand People Seal,’ which he had once considered as good as in his pocket, but which eventually went to Qin Yu, causing him an intense pang of pain.

The position of Heavenly Venerable, he had dreamt of it for so many years.

To become a Heavenly Venerable, Jiang Lan was willing to give up much, even going so far as to fall out with his own brothers and shatter the father-daughter bond with his own daughter. All for the sake of becoming Heavenly Venerable.

When one sacrifices a lot and expects a lot, the pain of failure is also profound.

"I originally thought that with Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate taking action, there would be no accidents. I was so confident! Little did I know, in the end, it was Qin Yu who acted... Alas, the higher the expectations, the more devastating the fall when you fail."

As soon as he thought about this matter, Jiang Fan felt his heart clench in pain.

It really hurt.

"Husband, if you can’t become a Heavenly Venerable, then you can’t become one. Qin Yu still remembers some old affection for you. As long as we don’t provoke him, he likely won’t bother us," Chunyu Rou consoled.

Jiang Fan smiled bitterly.

As the exalted Northern Pole Saint Emperor, what high status did he hold? Yet now, he had fallen to the point where he needed Qin Yu’s pity to simply survive.

"Madam, when I appeared in the Divine World, I understood the Space Law faster than my second brother Jiang Lan and became the Northern Pole Saint Emperor. I have been the Northern Pole Saint Emperor for one hundred and twenty quadrillion years," Jiang Fan scoffed at himself. "Madam, do you know what I have really wanted deep down all these years?"

"What?" Chunyu Rou furrowed her brows.

As she understood, her husband’s greatest desire was to become a Heavenly Venerable. She, Chunyu Rou, had long known this, and she didn’t understand why the Northern Pole Saint Emperor, Jiang Fan, was asking her again.

"You should know that for countless years I’ve wanted to become a Heavenly Venerable but what I really wanted to know deep down... was who my parents are? Where exactly do I come from?" Jiang Fan shook his head and sighed.

Chunyu Rou stared at Jiang Fan in amazement.

Jiang Fan took a deep breath, "One hundred and twenty quadrillion years ago, when the Divine World was born, my two brothers and I appeared in this Divine World. Back then, we had no memories of our childhood. We only knew that we were brothers. That was all we knew. For one hundred and twenty quadrillion years, I have been wondering, who are my parents? How was I born? Could it be that I was born from the cosmos? I always wondered how I could ever know my origin?"

"Later, I thought of becoming a Heavenly Venerable. A Heavenly Venerable is much more powerful than a God King and should know much more. Perhaps by becoming a Heavenly Venerable, I would know about myself, about us, the first generation of the Eight Divine Clans, where we all came from?"

Jiang Fan scoffed at himself.

Chunyu Rou also felt puzzled, the first generation of the Eight Divine Clans, apart from Thunder Punishment City having an older generation Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable, it seemed like the others in the Divine Race were born out of thin air.

Jiang Fan, Jiang Lan, Huangfu Yu, Huangfu Lei, Huangfu Liu Xiang, Shen Tuyan, Shen Tuyin... a whole bunch of the first generation members of the Eight Divine Clans. Who were these people’s parents?

Could it be that they were born out of thin air, or perhaps born from the cosmos?

This question was a universally acknowledged mystery among the upper echelons of the Divine World. Nobody knew how the first generation of the Eight Divine Clans were born. The question was unexplored, and untraceable.

"Husband, didn’t you communicate with the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable? Couldn’t you ask him?" Chunyu Rou asked in puzzlement.

Jiang Fan scoffed at himself, "Humph, the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable? How could he possibly tell us? I once wanted to ask him, but he just scolded me and ordered me never to ask again. I have a feeling he knows the origins of us all, but he just won’t say! So, I really want to become a Heavenly Venerable."

Chunyu Rou nodded gently.

Suddenly—

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Fan suddenly frowned as he looked at the person who had abruptly appeared in the study. The visitor, dressed in a blue robe, was none other than Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan looked at Jiang Fan, his expression calm, "Big Brother!"

Jiang Fan was stunned, "You, you’re calling me Big Brother?" Jiang Fan was truly shocked. Ever since he chose Zhou Xian as his son-in-law, Jiang Lan had essentially broken off ties with him, and openly calling him Big Brother was nearly impossible.

Chunyu Rou was also filled with shock at this moment.

Jiang Lan smiled faintly at Jiang Fan, "Big Brother, after all, we grew up together, brothers for one hundred and twenty billion years. Although I have resentments towards you, now that Little Yu and Li’er are together, I think we no longer need to be opposed to each other. You and your people shouldn’t continue to be stiff with Little Yu and Li’er either."

A cold expression covered Jiang Fan’s face.

"Oh, you came to persuade me?" Jiang Fan scoffed coldly, "Little Brother, the words I’ve said, I cannot take back. In front of so many God Kings, I publicly declared Zhou Xian as my son-in-law. No matter what, I can’t face Qin Yu now. There’s no need to talk further."

"Why are you so stubborn?"

Jiang Lan grew angry.

Jiang Fan frowned, looking at his younger brother Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan stared at Jiang Fan, "Big Brother, Li’er has been without a home for years, unable to meet her sisters, her brothers, her relatives and friends. Do you know how much she’s been suffering? Is your face more important than your own daughter?"

Jiang Fan was stunned and speechless.

Jiang Lan’s brows furrowed, and suddenly there appeared in his hand two floating seals, one gray and one golden.

"These are...?" Jiang Fan’s eyes suddenly brightened.

"These are the Earth Seal and the Ten Thousand People Seal. I know you really want to obtain them. I can give them to you now. All I hope is that you treat Li’er and others better, and we do not stand against each other anymore." Jiang Lan flipped his hand, and the Earth Seal and Ten Thousand People Seal flew into Jiang Fan’s hands.

Jiang Fan watched the scene dumbfounded.

Chunyu Rou was also shocked.

The Earth Seal and Ten Thousand People Seal are extremely precious. How could Jiang Fan not know? Originally, how many God Kings died over these two seals! Yet now, Jiang Lan was handing these two seals over to them.

"Little Brother, you, you..." Jiang Fan was somewhat at a loss for words.

"Take these, your wish is fulfilled. I hope you won’t oppose Li’er and Little Yu anymore," Jiang Lan looked at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Lan, "Little Brother, did you forget? It was I who stopped you from saving Zuo Qiumei. Aren’t you resentful towards me? Can you actually bear to give me these, the hope of becoming a Heavenly Venerable?"

The impact of giving out the Earth Seal and Ten Thousand People Seal was massive for Jiang Fan.

"Resentment? Of course," Jiang Lan smiled indifferently, "but Big Brother, you must understand. Those who are dead are already dead, making the living happier is what is most important. I just want Li’er and the others to be happier, and that would make me, the elder, very happy."

Jiang Fan’s facial expression changed.

"My Lady, tomorrow, you take Yan’er, Jun’er, and the others to Mist City on my behalf to see how Li’er and the others are doing," Jiang Fan suddenly said to Chunyu Rou beside him.
