The years of a cultivator always pass swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, several more years have gone by.
Blue Star, Kunlun City, within Kunlun Martial University.
"Elder brother." Xu Ling brought his partner to meet Li Yuan, and they also had a baby with them.
"Xu Ling." Li Yuan, who has maintained an incarnation at Kunlun Martial University for many years, displayed a slight smile on his face: "You rascal, after so many years, you finally decided to find a partner? Is this the wife youâve found in the Ancient Domain? You even have a child now."
Li Yuanâs eyes fell upon the purple-garbed woman beside him.
For Xu Ling, the only son of Xu Bo, his teacher, Li Yuan had always been particularly considerate, subtly watching over him.
Now, Xu Ling had already become semi-divine.
And he had focused on cultivation... Over a hundred years ago, when the demigods under the Firewood Temple ventured to the Ancient Domain for trials, Xu Ling had applied to go as well, and his strength had been steadily improving over the years.
"Correct." Xu Ling nodded and introduced: "Her name is âMo Xuanyu,â someone I met in the Ancient Domain."
"Greetings, Domain Master." Mo Xuanyu was rather reserved.
In the public information released by the Seven Star Civilization, Li Yuan was only known as a Heavenly Divine.
But Mo Xuanyu clearly knew Li Yuanâs true identity.
"The Mo Xuan family? Your ancestor should be Xuan Yang Divine, I presume." Li Yuan smiled lightly: "No wonder you know my identity."
The Ancient Domain is vast, nurturing countless lives, but only a handful of high-level individuals in the Ancient Domain know about âLi Yuanâs achievement in becoming a Domain Master.â
"Before departing from the Ancient Domain, the familyâs True God instructed me." Mo Xuanyu replied nervously.
She was well aware of how terrifying the Domain Master before her was. Even her familyâs ancestor, once the strongest in the Ancient Domain, the âXuan Yang Divine,â now follows him in the Divine Realm.
Much less her, such a little character?
"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded: "Iâve observed you, and you seem to have the Seven Star Veins. Your talent is not bad, even stronger than Xu Lingâs, and you should be on the verge of becoming a Pseudo-God."
Despite Xu Lingâs rigorous training and Li Yuanâs assistance, his talent was ultimately limited, with the Six Star Pulse being his limit.
With Li Yuanâs current observational skills, a mere glance could reveal much.
"Domain Master, Xu Ling and I..." Mo Xuanyu felt somewhat tense and hurried to explain.
"No need for explanations." Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Just live well with Xu Ling."
"Yes," Mo Xuanyu quickly responded.
"Elder brother." Xu Ling added, "Xiao Yu and I met during our adventures. Itâs extremely distant to return to Blue Star from the Ancient Domain, and Xiao Yu got pregnant and had a child during the journey, delaying us until now, so weâre planning to hold the wedding on Blue Star."
"A good thing." Li Yuan smiled, looking at the baby: "What is this little oneâs name?"
"Xu Pingâan," Xu Ling replied: "I only wish for him to live a life of peace and safety."
"Xu Pingâan?" Li Yuan nodded slightly: "A good name."
Whoosh!
Li Yuan waved his hand, and a ray of light flew out, landing on the plump-faced baby, instantly emanating a hint of mysterious aura from the infant.
"This?" Mo Xuanyuâs heart tightened.
"Consider it a meeting gift from me, the uncle, to ensure his safety." Li Yuan smiled: "This little one has good talent. When he matures, send him to the Firewood Temple, and Iâll arrange for the Lie Qing True God to guide him first."
"Thank you, elder brother." Xu Ling felt thrilled.
Sent off Xu Ling and his wife.
"Was it Xuan Yang Divineâs suggestion?"
"Or the Mo Xuan familyâs higher-ups?" Li Yuan pondered. He had arranged for many of the Northern Hill Mortal Domainâs demigods to venture into the Ancient Domain for practice.
Quite a few even perished in the Ancient Domain.
But there were very few, under Li Yuanâs instructions, who must be protected and were not to die...naturally including Xu Ling.
And the Mo Xuan family, a top family in the Ancient Domain, naturally knew of these matters.
"Well."
"As long as Xu Ling is happy." Li Yuan was indifferent in his heart; now he had multiple identities.
Civilization Leader of the Seven Star Civilization.
Master of the Ancient Domain.
Leader of the Northern Hill Mortal Domain.
âFirst Country Masterâ of the Firewood Divine Country... With numerous identities, the number of powerful entities under his command also increased, surpassing even a hundred Heavenly Divines, resulting in various private complexities.
"Xu Ling possesses the Six Star Pulse and now has descendants."
"If the teacher knew from the spirit in the heavens, he would probably be gratified too." Li Yuan felt indifferent: "But no matter how hard Xu Ling tries, the True God is his limit, with just a lifespan of thirty thousand years."
"Uncles and aunts, their lifespans are shorter, only five thousand years..." Li Yuan silently mused: "How long can I enjoy these connections?"
For these dear friends and relatives, Li Yuan gave his all to help, all in the hope of retaining some of these times during the long years.
But, ultimately, everything must fade away.
Like the Heavenly Divines, even the Divine Kings and Divine Emperors... everything around them will fade and become unfamiliar.
The Great Dao is a solitary journey!
Seekers of the Dao are destined to walk alone.
This is also why Li Yuan preferred to spend more effort, leaving several incarnations in the Northern Hill Mortal Domain.
"At least, after a long time, when I look back again, I hope it will be without regret." Li Yuan thought to himself.
...
The wedding that Xu Ling held was extremely grand, with many significant figures from the Northern Hill Mortal Domain arriving.
Now, Xu Lingâs identity had long been public, with many aware of his exceptional regard in Li Yuanâs eyes.
Even Li Yuanâs incarnation rarely descended.
...
Li Yuanâs incarnation lived quite leisurely on Blue Star and soon welcomed an old acquaintance.
"Alicia?" Li Yuan smiled: "Long time no see."
"Li Yuan." Alicia was quite reserved.
"Between us, thereâs no need to be so tense." Li Yuan laughed, shaking his head.
"Yes." Despite that, Alicia remained quite reserved: "I am preparing to become a Pseudo-God soon, but I donât want to go to the Ancient Domain World... Instead, I want to venture into the Divine Realm. Is that okay?"
"The Divine Realm?" Li Yuan pondered.
