The Eternal God Emperor and the Demon Ancestor

Princess Linglong nestled gently in Ling Che's arms, feeling the steady rise and fall of his chest and the powerful strength of his arms, as majestic as an ancient divine mountain. The man's features were sculpted without a trace of artifice, his natural handsomeness enough to make even the goddesses of the heavens lose their senses. She looked up at him, a wave of intoxication washing over her; the divine composure cultivated over hundreds of thousands of years melted away in that moment, becoming as tender as silk.

She was certain that she had found the most perfect partner in the world. Not a powerful overlord, not a fierce god of unparalleled strength, but a kindred spirit and good friend who could weather the vicissitudes of life with her, a soulmate and companion on the same path.

"My lord, you've been secluded in the underground cave for months. Don't you miss me even a little bit?" Princess Linglong raised her head, her blood-red eyes filled with coquettishness and reproach. She gently tugged at Ling Che's clothes, her coquettish manner completely unlike that of a Boundless Realm God who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

This attitude gave Ling Che a bit of a headache.

He lowered his head, his gaze so tender it could melt away the coldest ice of ages, and said with heartfelt sincerity, "How could I not want to? Compared to the divine artifacts and treasures in the underground cave, Linglong, you are my most precious treasure, incomparable to anything else in the world."

These words were no exaggeration. Although his marriage to Princess Linglong had some ulterior motives, Ling Che would never admit that he was after her stunning beauty and incredible figure. After a hundred years together, their love had run deep, and the woman before him was irreplaceable in his heart.

Princess Linglong was overjoyed. Although she was already a powerful being of the Boundless Realm, with a lifespan as long as the Milky Way, she still retained the heart of a young girl. As a member of the Rakshasa clan, she had admired the first goddess of the Rakshasa clan, Tianmu, since childhood. She had once entered the Luo Zu Yunshan Realm to cultivate and knew that the legendary peerless goddess was troubled by love all her life, and was devoted to the Immovable King, even if it was like a moth flying into a flame, she had no regrets.

"One shouldn't meet someone too stunning when young." This saying couldn't be more fitting for Tianmu. The Great Venerable Fudo Myoo's charisma is unparalleled throughout history; how many women in the world could resist his admiration? That poignant and unwavering past once filled the young Princess Linglong with longing, yearning to meet a man she could give everything for. And now, how fortunate she is to have met Ling Che, a union far more fulfilling than that of Tianmu.

Ling Che chuckled softly, his fingertips twitching slightly. A warm, divine light rose from his palm, transforming into a pair of white jade bracelets inlaid with gold. The bracelets shimmered with the divine light of creation, their dragon and phoenix patterns lifelike, and the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing echoed through the void.

"Linglong, I wasn't just reforging the True Dragon Gloves in the underground cave. This item was specially crafted for you." Ling Che spoke gently as he handed the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet to Princess Linglong. "This is the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet, made with the Creation Divine Jade as its base and fused with the essence of divine dragons and phoenixes. Currently, it is a Primordial-level Supreme Sacred Artifact. With a little refinement, it can evolve into a Sub-God-level Supreme Sacred Artifact. Today, I present it to you as a memento of our 100th wedding anniversary."

"My husband, you are so good to me, I love you!" Princess Linglong took the dragon and phoenix bracelet, her fingertips touching the warm and smooth surface of the bracelet. Overwhelmed with emotion, she stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Ling Che's lips.

For someone at the Lesser God-level Supreme Sacred Artifact, who was already at the Boundless Realm, the assistance was limited. But what she valued was not the grade of the treasure, but Ling Che's tenderness, which he had poured out his heart for her.

Ling Che gently ruffled her hair and smiled, "If you like it, then it's good. It wasn't in vain that I spent seven days and seven nights in seclusion refining it, exhausting my mind and spirit." He paused slightly, remembering something, "By the way, Linglong, you sent people to the underground cave to look for me. I suppose it wasn't just because you missed your husband, was it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Linglong had already put the dragon and phoenix bracelet on her jade wrist. She skipped and hopped to the ice mirror next to her, took out one gorgeous dress after another to try on, and had long forgotten about the important matter.

Ling Che shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly: his wife, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, still had a heart as carefree as a young girl, which he greatly envied.

Like his other incarnations, he was carefree and unburdened, doing whatever he pleased. How delightful! He was a married man, so he didn't need to think about how to live a carefree life. His beloved wife was waiting for him at home.

"My lord, do you think this Myriad Feathers Celestial Phoenix Robe matches my white jade dragon and phoenix bracelet?"

Princess Linglong changed into a deep blue feather robe, woven from the sacred feathers of ten thousand holy phoenixes, shimmering with iridescent light. Her perfect waistline accentuated her ethereal beauty, like a still, clear blue lake; while her signature blood-red pupils added a touch of mystery and allure, captivating all who beheld her.

Ling Che's eyes brightened slightly, and he exclaimed sincerely, "Extremely beautiful! This dress and bracelet complement each other perfectly. However... you must not wear this Phoenix Feather Robe in front of the Goddess of Death in the future. Lest she feel the same way and cause unnecessary trouble."

Ling Che was always satisfied with his wife's appearance and figure. Princess Linglong was a hybrid of the Rakshasa and the Undying Blood Clan. Her beauty was among the best in the Hell Realm. Back then, she and Shang Yao, the daughter of the Shang Ancestor of the Heaven Realm, were known as the Twin Pearls of the Universe. Both were noble and beautiful women of heaven.

Ling Che's mind raced, and he secretly thought to himself: "I really don't know how that guy, True Lord Bran, managed to win over Shang Yao. He's a role model for us all. Next time we meet, I can't just kill him outright; I'll have to capture him and ask him for advice. And then there's Jia Tianxia. I'll have them all reunited then, and watch this cosmic-level family drama unfold. That would be quite interesting."

Thinking of Shang Yao's elegance, Ling Che's heart stirred slightly. As she grew older, she possessed a mature charm, and after marrying Princess Linglong, he had grown increasingly fond of this stunningly beautiful older sister.

The smile on Princess Linglong's face faded slightly at the mention of the Death God Phoenix Wings. Her wardrobe was practically a "graveyard" for the Phoenix Clan, filled with countless magnificent phoenix feather robes.

Princess Linglong and Feng Caiyi have been enemies for several eons. Back when they were cultivating in the Palace of Life, Princess Linglong served as a goddess in the Temple of Destiny, and it was then that they forged a deadly feud. Ling Che was not entirely clear on the specific reasons, only knowing that the Phoenix Clan in the universe suffered greatly as a result, and she became a prime target. The Chongming Ancestor of the Southern Universe Demon God Realm even issued a kill order, vowing to take her life.

Feng Caiyi's talent far surpasses Linglong's; he is now a supreme expert at the peak of the Great Freedom and Limitless Realm, ruling the Death God Palace and wielding immense power. Even though Princess Linglong harbors boundless resentment, she can only suppress it.

"Feng Caiyi has always been domineering and arrogant, looking down on everyone, but this time she's suffered a major setback in the Taiwei Realm." Princess Linglong's lips curled into a gloating smile. "Xiong Taiwei's cultivation is no less than hers, and his reckless self-destruction must have damaged Feng Caiyi's essence. It was originally a scheme by the Three Fiends Emperor and others, but she insisted on interfering. Now that she's been humiliated, let's see how arrogant she can be now!"

As the former goddess of the Temple of Life, she had always opposed Feng Caiyi's path of slaughter and destruction, believing that the Temple of Destiny should continue the ways of the two deities, Life and Auspiciousness, to maintain the order of the heavens. Now that she saw Feng Caiyi suffer a setback, she was naturally delighted.

"Oh right, I almost forgot the important matter." Princess Linglong slapped her forehead and looked at Ling Che. "Husband, I came to find you because Father sent a message asking for your help. I suppose it's about the position of chieftain of the Rakshasa clan again."

The clear and melodious voice pulled Ling Che back to reality from his thoughts.

Ling Che rubbed his forehead, looking troubled: "Father-in-law, you have quite the ambition. Instead of coveting the position of clan leader, you should focus on cultivation and strive to break through to the Undying Boundless Realm. That is the right path."

The position of the Rakshasa clan chief is so revered; it cannot be easily shaken. Without the approval of Tianmu, everything is in vain.

Princess Linglong was well aware of the implications. She walked slowly to Ling Che's side, straightened his clothes, took out a black cloak with divine patterns, and gently draped it over him: "Becoming the clan leader is Father's lifelong wish. Now that we have finally seen hope, he naturally will not give up."

Ling Che raised his hand and gently stroked her soft cheek, smiling, "Since Father-in-law has such a wish, as his son-in-law, I should do my best to help. It seems we must go to Snowsea City, lest Father-in-law wait anxiously."

Princess Linglong smiled sweetly as she thought of her father and fastened the ties of her cloak. Surrounded by maids, the two stepped into a divine palace guided by four divine phoenixes. The phoenixes cried out, divine light soared into the sky, and the palace tore through the void, flying towards the depths of the Rakshasa Starfield.

Snow Sea Divine City is an ancient city with an ancient heritage in the Rakshasa Starfield. Its status is second only to Rakshasa Divine City. It was personally created by the founder of the Snow Sea Divine Kingdom and is located in the core territory of the Snow Sea Divine Kingdom. It is surrounded by eight holy cities, like stars surrounding the moon.

Within the city, Saint Realm cultivators were as numerous as hairs on a cow, and the aura of divinity could be heard everywhere. Divine runes intertwined, guarding this ancient city. Divine herbs and spiritual roots, and supreme treasures shimmering with light could be seen everywhere, fully demonstrating the profound heritage of the Snow Sea Divine Kingdom.

Although the Snow Sea Divine Kingdom is not as powerful as the Heavenly Net Divine Kingdom among the seven great divine kingdoms of the Rakshasa Clan, its current Snow Sea Emperor is a man of great talent and ambition, with profound cultivation, comparable to the current clan leader, Emperor Luo Yan. Under his rule, the Snow Sea Divine Kingdom is thriving and its strength is growing stronger day by day.

Fifty thousand years ago, during the divine war, Emperor Luo Yan was severely injured and has yet to recover. He has been in seclusion recuperating, and the affairs of the Tianluo Divine Kingdom have been managed by its higher-ups. Not long ago, Luo Ding perished, severely weakening the Tianluo Divine Kingdom and causing internal turmoil. All of this has been observed by Emperor Xuehai, who knows that the best opportunity to seize the position of clan leader has arrived.

The main hall of the Snow Sea Imperial Palace is magnificent, with divine pillars reaching to the sky. Since returning from the Boundless Divine Sea, the Snow Sea Emperor has been working day and night for the position of clan leader. Now, he has secured the support of four of the seven great divine kingdoms of the Rakshasa clan, giving him a five-to-three advantage that is entirely within his grasp.

Standing in the hall, looking down, he envisioned himself ascending to the position of clan leader and commanding the seven divine kingdoms, feeling spirited and filled with longing.

To ensure absolute success, he specifically asked his son-in-law, Ling Che, for assistance. Ling Che was the youngest God-Emperor of the Asura Clan, a direct disciple of the Auspicious God-Emperor of the Temple of Destiny, and a renowned weapon-refining master. With these multiple identities, the energy he could command was terrifyingly powerful. With Ling Che's help, his seizure of the clan leader's position would be like adding wings to a tiger, making his victory virtually certain.

As for Tianmu's attitude, Emperor Xuehai had already calculated it clearly. Luo Zuyun Mountain Realm never interferes in the internal power struggles of the Rakshasa Clan. As long as he controls the Rakshasa Divine City and the deed is done, Tianmu will not interfere further.

The laws of the universe have always been winner-takes-all. Once he successfully reaches the top, all obstacles will vanish.

At this moment, Emperor Xuehai was already impatient, waiting for Ling Che and Princess Linglong to return so they could discuss their grand plan, force Luo Yan to abdicate, and seize the supreme position of clan leader.
