Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

My older brother is very strict, so strict that he doesn't allow me to be lazy in my studies.

But sometimes, the way he looked at me was strange, as if he was suppressing something.

Jiang Wanzhao didn't understand at first, but as she grew older, she came to understand what that look meant.

He wants to control the games I play, the clothes I wear, and everything else...

Just thinking about these things made Jiang Wanzhao feel a strange pressure and... liking?

My brother is really amazing. Although he's not even a full twelve years older than me, he managed to raise me single-handedly without neglecting my studies, thanks to his brilliant mind.

That's really... amazing!

To be liked by someone like Li Xingzhou is just so...blissful~

Jiang Wanzhao put down the photo frame and sat on the sofa. As she looked around at the familiar layout, she murmured, "Why send me to another world? Even if I'm pregnant, I can just get rid of it."

Why don't we just go to some unfamiliar place where nobody knows us?

"coward."

Jiang Wanzhao snorted, not noticing that Li Xingzhou's lips twitched in the photo.

······

The sky was high and the clouds were wide, and a chill was in the air.

The dark yellow of winter is ultimately too cold.

Inside the Pope's residence, within the Holy Light Church, Li Xingzhou sat on the sofa, his arms crossed, speechless.

Originally, locking Jiang Wanzhao in a virtual barrier and altering her memories would allow her to experience her past. However, unexpectedly, the same experience had the opposite effect on Jiang Wanzhao.

He hadn't dared to seriously consider Jiang Wanzhao's feelings back then, but Jiang Wanzhao now thought her 'brother' was a coward.

The environment in which one grows up is indeed very important, but... old habits die hard.

Li Xingzhou was speechless, but he also gave up the idea of ​​restarting the process again and again.

For Jiang Wanzhao, no matter how her memories change, her mindset is unlikely to change.

Unless her memory is completely overturned.

But then what's the point of deliberately locking her up in a virtual world?

"Sir, where did the evening glow go?"

Having largely finished dealing with the aftermath of the Star Realm incident, King Hill III sat down next to Li Xingzhou, handed him a cup of red tea, and asked curiously.

"Go home."

Li Xingzhou took the tea and took a sip: "How serious is the collapse of a century-old faith for the Star Realm?"

“A minor problem,” Hill III said casually. “Let Tong Yan send out a Skywing-like mech to stand on the opposite side, and God will naturally fall from his altar.”

As for those who believe they are guilty and thus punished by God, they should first undergo labor reform, and if that fails, be executed on charges of being a member of a cult.

King Hill III placed his hand on the back of Li Xingzhou's hand: "Time will change everything."

Change everything?

Li Xingzhou felt he couldn't change Jiang Wanzhao.

Judging from Jiang Wanzhao's current mindset, her thoughts probably began to sprout the moment she was born.

Pure perversion.

My bad older sister won't change just because of how we're together.

Li Xingzhou frowned. Since Jiang Wanzhao couldn't empathize, he would have to use force to subdue her.

"Sir, are you very angry right now?"

Hill III glanced at Li Xingzhou, thinking that Jiang Wanzhao's 'backstabbing' was probably within his expectations, but he was still in a bad mood.

Li Xingzhou glanced at Hill III, knowing she must have misunderstood, but well…

Li Xingzhou pulled her into his arms, feeling her graceful and delicate body: "I don't know if you have a lot of temper, but you're quite charming."

As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Hill III naturally knelt on either side of the sofa. Because her body was slightly leaning back, her long, soft golden hair fell down instantly, exuding charm at that moment.

Hill III unconsciously wrapped his arms around the back of Li Xingzhou's neck, and asked intermittently with slightly rapid breathing, "Sir, where is that 'Cross of Heaven' that stretches across the sky...?"

“Since ancient times, there have been legends of enlightened masters ascending to the celestial realm and joining the ranks of immortals in the Qiming Realm. You can think of it as the celestial realm.”

“Hmm…” King Hill III narrowed his eyes: “The Beast King and the others…”

She could only speak haltingly, so Li Xingzhou explained directly to her: "Qingtian and the others all come from there, and the reason they're on my side is to help them go home."

Upon hearing this, Hill III's attention was drawn: "How do you know that's their homeland? Have you been there?"

“I came back from there.”

Li Xingzhou no longer concealed anything, but of course he didn't mention the Great Yun. He only said that Jiang Wanzhao had sent him there, and then it took him eighteen years to come back.

After listening to Li Xingzhou's explanation, King Hill III suddenly understood.

No wonder you're so strong, sir...

Being able to achieve cross-disciplinary feats through one's own abilities is a strength that even Tianzhu Chen cannot match.

In the master's eyes, the struggle for supremacy after the revival of Xuanhuang spiritual energy is probably not much different from children playing house.

After all, the spiritual energy released from the Heavenly Scar alone is enough to tell that it is a magnificent world.

Although the quality of the spiritual energy was not much different, the quantity of spiritual energy was vastly different.

Compared to the 'celestial realm' that the gentleman spoke of, the Xuanhuang Realm was like a small town.

The world that enabled Mr. [Name] to achieve supreme status in eighteen years is undoubtedly powerful.

"Want to go?" Li Xingzhou looked at Hill III with a smile: "If you want to go, I'll take you."

King Hill III's eyes flickered slightly, and he snuggled even closer into Li Xingzhou's arms before saying in a low voice, "But if we leave now, the Papacy will be leaderless."

"Then you mean..."

"Sir..." Hill III's voice became sweeter, "May we have a child?"

As soon as he finished speaking, King Hill III seemed to feel shy because of what he had said, and buried his head in Li Xingzhou's neck.

Her shy words caused Li Xingzhou to clearly feel a certain change in her body.

The once gentle kitten has started biting.

Li Xingzhou couldn't help but hug Hill III tighter, and whispered his agreement in her ear: "Alright, give birth to a saintess to inherit your papacy."

"Hmm~"

Queen Hill III's gaze revealed an increasingly deep affection that drew people into an abyss. She gently shifted her knees from kneeling on the sofa and then lightly tiptoed.

They worked especially hard for the birth of the saint.

······

The Realm of Eternal Night.

The First Ancestor Freya gazed at the long river of blood, which radiated a far more alluring color than before, and felt the blood power within it surge even more powerfully than before. She then looked up at the crater in the sky.

Is it because of this?

Freya looked at Emilia, who was standing to the side: "Did the Ancestor tell you where that is?"

Emilia looked up at the Sky's Edge and whispered, "He said it was... the Celestial Realm."

"The Celestial Realm?" Freya frowned. She had naturally heard the term "Celestial Realm" before, just like the divine realm or heaven in the mythology of the Starry Sky Realm.

"The King of Beasts said that was their home..." Freya continued, "So, where did the Ancestor come from?"

Emilia did not answer the question because she knew that the claim that Li Xingzhou was the progenitor was a lie.

Freya smiled: "As expected, the Ancestor went there, which is why he was able to make the 'Immortal Realm' affect the River of Blood..."

This woman's intelligence seems to fail her when it comes to ancestors.

However, it's a good thing that the river of blood is radiating more power than before.

Clearly, the immortal realm the master spoke of was a wonderful place.

The immortal realm, capable of revitalizing the river of blood, must be teeming with powerful experts. I wonder what level my master is at there...

As she pondered, Emilia's pupils contracted: "Someone..."

"Ok?"

Freya subconsciously looked up and, sure enough, saw figures descending from the sky within the Heavenly Rift.

Her pupils suddenly contracted as she noticed that the space between heaven and earth was distorted by the overwhelming aura emanating from them.

The aura of hundreds of figures surged outwards wildly, instantly causing a dramatic change in the weather.

"True Ancestor level..."

Freya's eyelids twitched. Although they were at the same level, she still felt that these newcomers exuded a more vast aura.

It was as if a huge, ferocious beast had squeezed into a human's house, deforming it.

Although they are at the same level, the quality of their spiritual power and the Dao techniques they have comprehended are both superior to Xuanhuang's current level.

Fortunately, the house did not break.

Moreover, the oppressive aura emanating from them is limited to physical strength, not spiritual power.

The Xuanhuang (a type of magical artifact) restricted their spiritual power.

Even so, the oppressive aura of over a hundred powerful individuals far surpassed that of the extinct Skywing Clan.

"They're coming this way!"

Freya whispered something, and all around her were already filled with True Ancestor-level powerhouses of the vampire race.

At the same time, their voices reached my ears.

"This place is actually able to seal our spiritual power; it can be considered a feng shui treasure land."

"Such a small world with perfect Daoist techniques is rare. If it settles for another thousand years, it will be comparable to a blessed land."

"Hmm... I've never heard of a river of blood before. The way of blood is indeed profound and extensive."
