I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

The Celestial Realm, the far eastern region.

The Jiang clan, a divine lineage, their ancestral home.

This is a palace complex suspended above a sea of ​​clouds. Each palace is forged from divine metal, and its scale is breathtaking. Between the palaces, dragons coil and phoenixes perch, and the richness of spiritual energy far surpasses that of the lower realm.

Deep within the ancestral land, in an inconspicuous side hall.

Jiang Tianyao sat by the window, her elegant white dress accentuating her tall and shapely figure.

Her hand gently rested on her slightly protruding belly, her gaze fixed on the endless sea of ​​clouds outside the window, lost in thought.

Not long after she was taken back to the Celestial Realm by her clan, she discovered she was pregnant.

This news quickly reached the ears of the Jiang clan.

Since then, she has been placed in this side hall to "rest quietly".

It was supposed to be a period of rest and recuperation, but in reality, it was house arrest.

The Jiang clan of gods attached great importance to the awakened bloodline power within her, but their attitude towards the child of unknown origin in her womb was ambiguous.

"I wonder how you are now."

She lowered her head, looking at her lower abdomen, her lips moving slightly, her voice so soft that she could barely hear herself.

In my mind, the image of that young man in black appeared—hands in his pockets, nonchalant, and never uttering a serious word.

Back in that cave, she wanted nothing more than to stab him to death.

But later, when she sent people to investigate, she found out that the bastard named "Chu Feng" was actually the heir of the Great Qian Zhenbei King. Later, she was taken back to the Heavenly Realm by her clansmen and completely cut off from the mortal world.

"Don't worry." Jiang Tianyao gently stroked her lower abdomen. "No matter what happens outside, I will protect our child."

……

The Jiang clan of gods, in their council hall.

Beneath the golden dome, a long table cast from a single piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron stretches across the hall.

At the head of the table sat a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties. He had a resolute face, eyes like lightning, and a faint golden dragon aura surrounding him.

This person is none other than Jiang Xuantian, the current patriarch of the Jiang clan.

"Chieftain!"

The door to the main hall was pushed open, and an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a black robe with gold trim, strode in. He was none other than Jiang Daoxuan, the fifth elder of the Jiang clan.

His pace was hurried, which was extremely rare for the usually composed Fifth Elder.

"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?" Jiang Xuantian put down the jade slip in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly.

Jiang Daoxuan stepped closer and lowered his voice: "Clan leader, news has come from Tianqi City—the successor of the Human Emperor has appeared in the world."

"What?"

Jiang Xuantian suddenly stood up, and a rare look of emotion appeared on his usually composed face.

The Human Emperor.

No one understands the significance of these two words in the myriad realms better than these ancient families.

In ancient times, the Human Emperor suppressed all races with his own power, and even the most powerful imperial clans at that time were forced to submit.

That was the most glorious era for humanity, and also the darkest era for all races.

"Is the news accurate?"

"Absolutely true." Jiang Daoxuan took out an image jade slip from his sleeve, and with a burst of spiritual power, a scene unfolded in mid-air—the final scene of the Battle of Tianqi City.

A golden phantom stood tall, wearing an imperial crown and a dragon robe, with all paths bowing in submission.

Jiang Xuantian stared intently at the illusory figure, his pupils contracting sharply.

"The Dharma Image of the Human Emperor...it truly is the Dharma Image of the Human Emperor!"

His breathing became heavy.

As the patriarch of the Jiang clan, he knew all too well what the appearance of the Human Emperor's successor meant.

A storm powerful enough to overturn the very fabric of the universe is about to arrive.

"There's one more thing," Jiang Daoxuan's tone became somewhat strange, "This successor of the Emperor... is related to Tianyao."

"Huh?" Jiang Xuantian was taken aback. "What's the relationship?"

Jiang Daoxuan coughed lightly and recounted the events of when he received Jiang Tianyao in the lower realm.

"At the time, I felt that this boy was extraordinary, but I never expected..." Jiang Daoxuan paused, "that he was actually the successor of the Human Emperor."

Jiang Xuantian's brows furrowed: "You mean, he's the father of the child Tianyao is carrying?"

"Most likely."

The hall was quiet for three breaths.

Then, Jiang Xuantian smiled.

It wasn't a bitter smile, nor a cold laugh, but a hearty, unrestrained laugh from the bottom of my heart.

"Hahahahaha!"

Laughter echoed in the empty hall, causing the golden patterns on the dome to tremble slightly.

Jiang Daoxuan was completely bewildered by the laughter: "Clan leader?"

Jiang Xuantian stopped laughing, his eyes gleaming: "Fifth Elder, do you know why my Jiang Clan has been unable to rise to the ranks of imperial clans for tens of thousands of years?"

"this……"

"Because we lacked an opportunity. An opportunity powerful enough to shake up the entire universe." Jiang Xuantian paced back and forth in the main hall, his steps quickening. "And now, that opportunity has arrived!"

He whirled around, staring at Jiang Daoxuan: "Think about it, Tianyao is pregnant with the child of the Human Emperor's descendant. What does that mean?"

Jiang Daoxuan was a cunning old fox; his mind worked incredibly fast, and he immediately understood the clan leader's meaning.

With Jiang Tianyao and this child, the successor of the Human Emperor has an unbreakable blood connection with the Jiang Clan.

At that time, whether it's to win them over or to bind them to us, we'll have the best leverage.

And once the successor of the Human Emperor is used by the Jiang clan of gods...

"With the potential and fortune of the successor of the Human Emperor, my Jiang clan will surely advance even further!" Jiang Xuantian's voice grew louder and louder, "The throne of the imperial clan is just around the corner!"

Jiang Daoxuan's breathing also became rapid.

Imperial clans are the pinnacle of the pyramid of the myriad realms. Behind every imperial clan stands a great emperor who once reigned supreme over the world.

Although the Jiang clan had a profound foundation, they were always just one step short of achieving their goal.

"The clan leader is wise!"

"Go and do two things immediately." Jiang Xuantian suppressed his smile and regained the dignity of a clan leader. "First, send out the clan's elite forces to search for Chu Feng's whereabouts with all their might."

"Second—" His tone turned serious, "From today onwards, the side hall where Tianyao resides will be tripled in guard. The official explanation is that this is to protect the bloodline of the clan, and no one is allowed to approach."

Jiang Daoxuan understood immediately. It was called protection, but in reality, it was supervision. Tianyao was a fiery girl; if she found out about the clan's plans, things could get very complicated.

"Understood."

"Go."

Jiang Daoxuan accepted the order and withdrew.

Jiang Xuantian stood alone in the center of the main hall, his gaze passing through the hall's doors to the surging golden sea of ​​clouds in the distance, a smile lingering on his lips.

The successor of the Human Emperor.

My daughter, a member of the Jiang clan, is pregnant with the child of the descendant of the Human Emperor.

This is providence.

……

Inside that side hall, Jiang Tianyao suddenly shivered.

She frowned, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

Looking down at her lower abdomen, she whispered, "Little one, I wonder what your father's expression would be if he knew you existed."

Thinking about that bastard's character, he would probably be stunned at first, and then say something like "This young master is indeed amazing" with a grin.

Jiang Tianyao couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth curl up slightly.

Then he put on a stern face again.

Who wants him anymore?

asshole.
