Sheng Fu

When Jing's parents saw Yuwen Jun leading Yun Nu by the hand towards the kitchen, they were momentarily suspicious. However, upon noticing the deep sadness on Yun Nu's face, they didn't dare to ask anything.

"Never mind that. Who is Jun'er? Don't look at him with the eyes of an ordinary person. Let's just do our duty," Jing's father gently reminded him.

Jing's mother hummed in agreement.

These past few years have been turbulent times, and the son-in-law has already been working hard and worrying.

Furthermore, it is perfectly reasonable for a son-in-law to have multiple wives and concubines.

They all understand these principles.

"Cook enough for one more person," Yuwen Jun's voice rang in their ears, carrying a hint of sadness.

Upon entering the main hall, Yuwen Jun personally served tea and water to Yun Nu.

"Her name is Yun Nu. She came from the Demon Realm and was imprisoned by the Demon Lord for many years. Judging from the signs, it seems like she did it randomly, or it seems like she deliberately gave me a warning," Yuwen Jun said to Chu Yuyan with a calm expression.

Chu Yu understood immediately and subconsciously bowed to Yun Nu, saying, "Chu Yu greets Senior."

Yun Nu returned the greeting with a blank expression. During her years of imprisonment, she had lived in darkness and it would take her a long time to regain the ability to communicate normally with others.

Although Chu Yu was still a child, Yun Nu's senses were still sharp. With just one glance, she could tell that Chu Yu was no ordinary person. The short sword at her waist made Yun Nu's heart tremble for a moment.

Furthermore, those who follow His Highness are certainly not ordinary people.

Yuwen Jun opened his spatial artifact, took out two nine-colored pills, and handed them to Yun Nu, saying softly, "After taking these pills, cultivate diligently for a while. The Demon Lord may want you to become the intermediary between me and him since he released you."

"The current situation is rather ambiguous, and the Demon Lord has also realized that he cannot dominate the world."

"He probably felt that there were some unpredictable variables surrounding me, which is why he let you go."

"Chu Yu and I just learned that there is another mysterious being whose strength is no less than that of the Demon Lord, or even stronger than the Demon Lord, who has been overlooking the vast world and the long river of history."

Upon hearing this, Yun Nu's head buzzed for a moment.

But after seeing the somber expressions on Chu Yu and Yuwen Jun's faces, they gradually came to their senses.

"No, this pill is far too precious. I am but a lowly person. Such cultivation resources should be reserved for those who truly need them." Yun Nu glanced at the pill in Yuwen Jun's hand, then quickly lowered her head and said earnestly.

Yuwen Jun gently comforted him, "Don't think too much. In terms of merit, you have made great contributions to the Dragon Clan. If it weren't for you, that ancient holy dragon wouldn't have been able to hand over the Origin Chip to me alive, and I wouldn't have been able to obtain the Void Inheritance."

"Furthermore, I have many more of these pills."

There are many more?

Yunnu's mind went blank for a moment again.

With extreme trepidation, I accepted the two pills.

Just then, Mr. and Mrs. Jing brought out a steaming bowl of food and put it on the table.

Five meat dishes, six vegetable dishes, and steaming hot steamed buns and millet porridge.

After putting down the dishes, the elderly couple subconsciously left the main hall.

"Even if the sky is about to collapse, it won't stop us from having a good meal right now," Yuwen Jun said with a forced smile.

Yuwen Jun picked up a meat bun first, took a big bite, and then casually gave Chu Yu and Yun Nu two more meat buns. His manner was casual and he had no manners at all.

At this moment, Yuwen Jun was too lazy to care about so-called civility and propriety.

The three of them then began to eat in a lively and cheerful manner.

Despite the ever-changing circumstances and impending upheaval, what can be done?

Even without such a great struggle for the Great Dao, even in peaceful times, those who are meant to live will not die, and those who are meant to die will not live.

It's still too early to say who will emerge victorious.

After the meal, Yuwen Jun took Yun Nu back to the secret realm and entered the depths of Minghun Mountain.

Yuwen Jun said gently, "This mountain is a supreme creation that the Demon Lord desired but failed to obtain. The laws of the Great Dao are solid here, so you can cultivate in peace. Chu Yu and I need to go out for a while, so don't feel any burden."

"I also look forward to your early entry into the Boundless Realm."

Yun Nu carefully sensed the Great Dao Laws of Minghun Mountain. The spiritual energy was rich and the dragon's might was vast. It was indeed wonderful beyond words.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness," Yunnu said, bowing deeply as if on cue.

Seeing this, Yuwen Jun said with great heartache, "When you see me in the future, there is no need for any formalities. Remember, you are a meritorious member of the Dragon Clan whom I have personally acknowledged."

"Yuxi Town is your home, and I am your family too."

"Take good care of yourself for a while, I'm leaving now."

Before leaving, Yuwen Jun pointed his fingers like a sword and placed them on Yun Nu's brow, injecting a gentle, chaotic imperial aura. In an instant, Yun Nu's spirit and energy soared.

Yun Nu looked incredulous. Yuwen Jun patted Yun Nu on the shoulder and then left in an instant.

In the courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

Yuwen Jun went into the kitchen, where his father-in-law and mother-in-law were washing dishes and pots.

He greeted the elderly couple gently, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

Mr. Jing frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't help you."

Jing's mother also looked exhausted.

Yuwen Jun smiled gently and said, "These causes and effects are none of your business. Besides, now we can only rely on ourselves. Even the Human Emperor can't do much."

Upon hearing this, the elderly couple were completely dumbfounded.

They were unaware that Emperor Ling had passed away; if they had known, they would likely have been even more heartbroken.

Of course, none of their emotions are of any real significance.

In the courtyard, Chu Yu waited quietly.

"I'm leaving now," Yuwen Jun said casually.

In the courtyard, Chu Yu waited quietly. After Yuwen Jun arrived, he did not rush to cross the void, but slowly walked out of the gate and headed out of Yuxi Town.

"Should we tell the Emperor about this?" Chu Yu asked softly.

Yuwen Jun's expression froze slightly, and he said with a wry smile, "If the Emperor knew the truth, his ambition would probably be greatly diminished. For now, he doesn't need to know."

After thinking it over, Chu Yu said, "It would be better to say something first."

"Knowing earlier or later makes a difference. If he had known earlier, he could have seen the situation more clearly and adjusted his mindset sooner."

"Furthermore, he is, after all, the Human Emperor, and his understanding of the common people, the nation, and the destiny of the land is far deeper than ours."

"It's better to have one more person to worry about than one less person to worry about."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jun found it to be true and smiled knowingly, saying, "You've grown up, and your mind has become more and more delicate."

After speaking, Chu Yu subconsciously put the Blade of Time into her spatial container.

In the morning mist, the figures of the two brothers gradually became blurred. ...

Human race, imperial capital.

The weather was fine and the sky was clear. Since the establishment of the cabinet, the number of memorials that required the emperor's personal review had naturally decreased. The human race's government was gradually getting back on track, and the national treasury was becoming increasingly full. However, in the officialdom, the struggle between aristocratic families and commoners often occurred. The cabinet personally intervened to check and balance the situation, which maintained a relatively respectable situation.

Between those from humble backgrounds and those from prestigious families, neither can truly prevail over the other.

The personnel changes in the officialdom are still ongoing, but in general, there is no longer any major disruption. After the establishment of the Twin Dragon Prefecture, trade between the North and South is smooth and prosperous. The two kings of the North and South are working together with one heart and one mind, and the situation is encouraging. The internal affairs of the human race are only left with some chronic problems that need to be slowly worn away by time.

On the Flying Dragon Platform.

The emperor sat lazily on his throne, basking in the sun.

Just as the Emperor was enjoying the sunshine, Yuwen Jun arrived before him without warning, accompanied by Chu Yu.

The Emperor looked slightly surprised and said, "What brings you here? But the fact that you came to see me first probably isn't a good thing. It would be best if it were something that wouldn't cause serious injury, since my injuries haven't fully healed yet."

Yuwen Jun did not respond, his expression both reserved and composed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the emperor subconsciously sat up straight.

Yuwen Jun remained silent, and even Chu Yu wore an expression that couldn't be more serious.

The Emperor raised his voice slightly and said, "Speak freely, whatever it may be, I will take it in stride."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jun took a slight breath, and with a thought, two Origin Chips detached from Chu Yu's body and landed in Yuwen Jun's palm.

"Let me first tend to His Majesty's injuries." Yuwen Jun instantly appeared behind the Emperor and placed his hands on the Emperor's shoulders.

This sudden action, along with the two extra Origin Chips, caused the Emperor to frown deeply. Just as he was about to speak, he realized that his injuries were healing at the speed of flames melting snow.

"You've always had an Origin Chip in your possession?" the Human Emperor asked, shocked and suspicious.

He had long suspected that Yuwen Jun hadn't told the truth about the Origin Chip, even though a Vermilion Bird King did later appear, dispelling the Human Emperor's suspicions about Yuwen Jun.

But seeing Yuwen Jun holding two Origin Chips, the Human Emperor still felt slightly uneasy.

Yuwen Jun said slowly, "I have four Origin Chips. The remaining two are on Linghe King and the Primordial Spirit Cat, respectively. They are currently exploring the mysteries and need to completely conceal their auras."

"In fact, the initial plan to have His Majesty and the former emperor of the Spirit Clan fight the God Emperor in the Chaos Space was for two reasons. First, it was for the overall strategic situation, and second, it was to take advantage of the chaos to collect the last Origin Chip. However, the situation has not developed in the ideal direction. At present, it seems that without the absolute right time and place, it is almost impossible to obtain the last Origin Chip."

Upon hearing this, the Human Emperor's Purple Star True Essence surged within him, and his expression immediately hardened as he said, "So, what you want most is the Origin Chip, and you just happened to do some good deeds that benefit the country and its people while searching for it?"

Yuwen Jun rolled her eyes slightly and said, "Both things came from my heart."

"The first Origin Chip has always been hidden underground at Bailu Academy. I came to Bailu Academy to study for the Origin Chip, but I never expected to form such a deep bond with Master Gu Yong."

"The second piece was obtained in the Demon Realm, right under the Demon Lord's nose."

"The third piece was obtained in the capital of the Spirit Clan."

"The fourth piece was naturally given to me by the Queen of the Demon Realm."

"I'm too lazy to go into the details, but Your Majesty should know that the fact that I can say these things means that I have no worries about Your Majesty having any checks and balances on me."

"I imagine His Majesty has already guessed some of these things."

After he finished speaking, the Emperor's injuries were completely healed, and Yuwen Jun stood opposite the Emperor once again.

The Emperor's gaze was as deep as the sea as he asked with a hint of doubt, "He's awakened?"

Yuwen Jun nodded.

The Emperor's mind was heavy and complicated, but seeing Yuwen Jun's relaxed demeanor, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "You don't seem worried at all?"

Yuwen Jun did not respond, believing that with the wisdom of the Emperor, he would surely be able to guess more.

Sure enough, the solemn expression on the Emperor's face gradually faded.

"Is there another path that leads to the Realm of Ten Thousand Ends? The Demon Lord has met his match!" the Human Emperor pondered.

Yuwen Jun looked directly at the Emperor, his face calm, his eyes sometimes fleeting and sometimes resolute, and said in a deliberately soft voice, "The guess is correct. In this great struggle, Your Majesty can only be a supporting character."

"At present, the God Emperor still has a chance to reach the top, but the chance is not great."

"Moreover, we encountered something even more troublesome."

"This troublesome matter has begun to make me doubt whether His Majesty is a trustworthy and resolute person, and whether he truly has the will to die rather than submit?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor scoffed, "It's nothing more than death; what is there to fear?"

Yuwen Jun then secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "According to the information we currently have, there is a mysterious ancient being called 'Tai,' whose strength is very likely above that of the Demon Lord."

"He desires to devour the origin of time and achieve the myriad great paths."

"However, the Time Clan successfully prevented this, but the Time Clan was almost wiped out as well."

"Chu Yu is the last spark of the Time Clan."

"If 'Tai' succeeds, the Great Dao will be completely silenced forever. Everything we can see will be reduced to ashes of time and space. Whether it is His Majesty, or the God Emperor and the Demon Lord, they will all be reduced to ashes in an instant."

"In comparison, this major dispute seems more like a child's game."

"However, I learned from Senior Yan Lie that there is no specific path to enter Wan Duan."

"By engaging in great struggles to gather the world's fortune, to grasp the power of origin, and to devour the origin of time, we are essentially feeling our way across the river by touching the stones."

"Unlike the ancient and prehistoric periods, when civilizations were broken, barbarity and desolation coexisted, all living beings had only animal instincts, morality was weak, order was chaotic, and the fortunes of mountains and rivers could not grow in an orderly manner, this era has rules and order, as well as beautiful literature and art, and human nature is inclined to goodness. It is a collision between civilizations, not a collision between forces."

"Therefore, the myriad aspects of civilization are one path, the power of origin is another path, and the origin of time is yet another path. In total, there are three paths that lead to the realm of all things."

"Clearly, none of these three paths are suitable for His Majesty."

"The reason I chose to tell His Majesty these things secretly is to avoid the taboo of the word 'too.' If I were to say the word 'too' directly, Heaven and Earth might respond."

"Though we are reluctant to admit it, we have indeed reached a point where even in desolate places we have to be careful what we say, because if we say something we shouldn't, we will face annihilation."

Upon hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor slumped weakly against his throne and chuckled foolishly. He didn't even know why he was laughing; he just wanted to laugh.

Yuwen Jun did not mention the words "Reincarnation Seal".

These four words have a tremendous causal relationship. Even with the support of the power of the imperial palace, Yuwen Jun still did not dare to utter these four words to the Emperor.

The weather is fine and the sky is clear, but the frustration in my heart is indescribable.

"What can I do for you?" The Emperor looked at Yuwen Jun with a meaningful expression and chuckled.

Instead of referring to himself as "朕" (Zhen), he used the word "我" (Wo).

The Human Emperor has realized the situation; his chances are indeed slim. However, Yuwen Jun is empowered by the Chaos Emperor Qi and has already entered the mid-stage of the Lingxiao realm. If the strategic timeframe can be extended further, Yuwen Jun may have a chance to reach the Wanduan realm.

The Emperor had no choice but to place his bet on Yuwen Jun. He had the people, the country, and the nation in his heart, and naturally did not want that mysterious being to steal the source of time.

Yuwen Jun occupies the majority of the path of Origin Power.

Yuwen Jun has also traversed the majority of the path to civilization; this flame of hope is not weak… (End of Chapter)
