study.
Lin Chen sat behind his desk, closed his eyes, and focused his consciousness into the system panel.
These past few days he's been so busy he's practically running around like a headless chicken—accompanying the new mother, taking care of the baby, and dealing with congratulatory guests from all sides; he hasn't even had time to visit Mei Jiu Niang.
Last night I finally managed to get some rest at Lingbo's place for half the night, but I was woken up by Lin Niansu's crying and tossed and turned until dawn.
The three system messages were neatly arranged there, each one glittering with gold, so bright it hurt his eyes.
Article 1.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a direct descendant bloodline, ensuring the continuation of your family's legacy.]
[Reward 1: The host's cultivation level will be raised to the late stage of True Monarch, and the family's inherited divine skill—Dragon God Skill—will be automatically upgraded to the late stage of the sixth level.]
[Reward Two: Thirty-six Celestial Pills and eighteen Human Immortal Pills.]
[Reward 3: Divine Weapon Overlord Spear (Celestial Level)]
Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly. "Late stage True Monarch, not bad."
The second one popped up right after.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a direct descendant bloodline, ensuring the continuation of your family's legacy.]
[Reward 1: The host's cultivation level will be raised to the Great Perfection of True Monarch, and the family's inherited divine skill—Dragon God Skill—will be automatically bestowed upon the sixth level of perfection.]
[Reward Two: Thirty-six Celestial Pills and eighteen Human Immortal Pills.]
[Reward 3: The Divine Weapon Immortal-Slaying Sword (Pseudo, Celestial Immortal Level).]
Lin Chen's lips curled up again. He had reached the Great Perfection of the True Monarch realm, and even the Immortal Execution Sword had arrived.
Although it's fake, it's still enough to be at the level of a celestial being.
When the third message popped up, Lin Chen couldn't suppress his smile any longer.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a direct descendant bloodline, ensuring the continuation of your family's legacy.]
[Reward 1: The host's cultivation level is raised to Saint Venerable (Lesser Saint), and the family's inherited divine skill—Dragon God Skill—is automatically upgraded to the seventh level.]
[Reward Two: Thirty-six Celestial Pills, Eighteen Human Immortal Pills, and One Celestial Immortal Pill.]
[Reward 3: Divine Weapon Fallen Holy Sword (Half-Saint Level)]
After accepting the reward, Lin Chen opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.
An ordinary hand, with distinct joints, no different from any other hand.
But he knew that if he clenched his fist and threw it, the entire Eastern Region would tremble.
Your Majesty.
This realm is unlike anything ever seen before in this world.
Those old monsters in Zhongzhou who have been lingering on for thousands of years are at most at the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm, and haven't even touched the threshold of the True Monarch realm.
He has already surpassed the True Monarch and entered the Saintly Venerable realm, transcending the rules of this world.
Lin Chen leaned back in his chair, staring at the roof beams, and murmured to himself:
"I am where I am today entirely because of my hard work day and night, without slacking off for even a moment."
Lin Chen paused, his tone suddenly becoming heavy.
"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice... I don't know when I will be able to see what the cultivation level of an emperor looks like."
Lin Chen spoke with a very serious expression, as if he were mourning something.
If someone were listening nearby, they would probably think he had gone through some incredibly arduous training.
But in fact, the key point of his words just now was all in the phrase "working hard day and night".
As for who he fought against and how he fought, only Lin Chen knew.
The system granted me a meteoric rise in cultivation, a mountain of pills, and even added a divine weapon as a reward.
From the middle stage of True Lord to the Lesser Saint, there are intermediate stages of True Lord Late Stage and True Lord Great Perfection.
The rewards for the three children were steadily achieved, step by step.
One Celestial Immortal Pill, fifty-four Human Immortal Pills, and one hundred and eight Celestial-Human Pills.
One celestial being, fifty-four terrestrial immortals, and one hundred and eight heavenly beings.
Including previous inventory.
Lin Chen suddenly felt that those so-called great sects of the Central Plains were nothing more than tiny ants in front of him.
Lin Chen stood up, walked to the window, and opened it.
The sunlight streamed in, warm and pleasant, and felt very comfortable on my face.
The osmanthus flowers in the courtyard are still in bloom, and their fragrance wafts over in waves.
Lin Nian'er's laughter drifted from afar, giggling like silver bells.
Lin Chen took a deep breath, exhaled, then took another breath and exhaled again.
Suddenly, I had a feeling that the extraterrestrial passage was about to be opened.
……
Five days later.
News has come from the direction of Zhongzhou.
The Sky Rift—now more commonly known as the Extraterrestrial Passage—has undergone a change.
A colossal hand, black as a shadow, emerged from the crack. Its five fingers were like pillars, with dark red light flowing from their tips.
Each finger was covered with densely packed runes, which seemed to move across the skin like living things, emanating a suffocating aura.
The large hand hovered in mid-air for a few moments, then slowly pressed down.
Below is an imperial dynasty—the Great Yuan Dynasty, which has existed for five thousand years and once ruled over one-fifth of the Central Plains at its peak.
Although it was already in decline, it still had three celestial ancestors in charge.
Faced with that colossal hand that blotted out the sky, the three Celestial Ancestors attacked simultaneously.
One wielded a knife, its blade energy traversing hundreds of miles, slashing at the index finger of that hand.
One wielded a sword, its light as bright as a rainbow, and thrust it towards the palm.
A powerful national treasure, an ancient seal, grew in the wind, transforming into the size of a mountain, and crashed down fiercely.
"boom--"
The sky and earth changed color, but the hand only paused for a moment without any damage.
A dark red light suddenly burst forth, like a black sun exploding.
All attacks were deflected; the blade broke, the sword shattered, and the ancient seal split in two on the spot.
The sword cultivator's Celestial Ancestor was the first to explode, his entire body turning into a blood mist, without even having time to scream.
The swordsman followed closely behind, half of his body disappearing, the remaining half lingering in the air for a moment before falling.
The last one, protected by the national treasure, barely escaped with his life.
He gritted his teeth, burned his life essence, and activated the broken national treasure, crashing it into the hand.
This attack forced the large hand back a bit.
With his last ounce of strength, he led the remaining royal family in a bloody escape.
The hand hovered in the air for a moment, its five fingers slowly closing as if grasping something.
Then the crack slowly receded, closed, and the sky returned to normal.
When the news arrived, Lin Chen was holding Lin Nianjun in the yard, basking in the sun.
Lin Nianjun is over six months old. He is chubby with a round face and keeps calling out "Daddy, Daddy" in a muffled voice.
Lin Chen was so happy that his teeth were showing. He bounced his son around and kissed him on the cheek.
The little guy giggled as Lin Chen kissed him, patting his face with his little hands, making a loud slapping sound.
Yuan Tiangang stood aside and recounted the events in Zhongzhou.
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and his tone was as calm as a storyteller.
But when he said that "two celestial beings were shattered on the spot," he gently clenched his hand inside his sleeve.
Qin Shuyan sat on the veranda doing accounts, her brush paused for a moment.
Xiao Yulou was practicing his sword in the courtyard when the sword tip paused for a moment.
Liu Ruyan walked over with a bowl of soup, her steps steady as if she hadn't heard anything, and placed the soup on the table next to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen listened and remained silent for a moment.
Then he looked down at Lin Nianjun in his arms. The little guy was grabbing his collar and stuffing it into his mouth, making his collar all drooly.
"I understand," Lin Chen said calmly, his face expressionless.
Yuan Tiangang nodded, turned and left.
Lin Chen picked up the bowl of soup and took a sip.
The temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold; it was stewed by Liu Ruyan.
He put down the bowl and continued to hold his son while basking in the sun.
Lin Nianjun yawned in Lin Chen's arms, his mouth wide open, revealing a few small teeth.
Then she closed her eyes, her breathing gradually became steady, and she fell asleep, her little chest rising and falling rhythmically.
Lin Chen looked down at his son and reached out to wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth.
At that moment, a figure emerged from behind the moon gate.
Her purple dress fluttered, her waist swayed gracefully, and she moved with a swaying gait.
Mei Jiuniang walked up to Lin Chen with a solemn expression, completely different from her usual seductive self.
She pulled a letter from her sleeve and handed it to me, her voice low: "Something has happened in Zhongzhou."
