Planet Level Eight, Number One Below the Star System Stage (Third Update)
Upon arriving at his doorstep, the two Star Stage Guardians immediately bowed to Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen waved his hand and was about to go inside.
Ling'er followed behind. Although Sky City was not small, Ling'er, being at the Satellite Stage, could easily catch up by Teleport.
He led Ling'er into the house.
He hadn't returned for over a year. The courtyard was lush with green grass and blooming flowers. As the lord's residence, this was the best location and the best courtyard in Sky City.
Lin Zhen stopped as soon as she stepped into the courtyard.
Because he saw Su Mingyue standing there in the courtyard, holding a baby in her arms, smiling sweetly at Lin Zhen.
"Yue'er! Why are you out here?"
Lin Zhen hadn't seen Su Mingyue for a long time and missed her terribly. He took a few quick steps over and pulled his wife's soft, fragrant body into his arms.
"Because we have Telepathy. I felt uneasy just now, like you were coming back. I couldn't stay inside, so I came out to wait for you, and sure enough, you came in."
Lin Zhen cupped his wife's pretty face in his hands and gave her a deep kiss.
"Lin Zhen, look at our child. You haven't even seen him since he was born, have you?"
Lin Zhen looked down and saw a beautiful little baby staring at him with big, clear black and white eyes from inside the swaddling clothes.
The child was extremely beautiful, with delicate eyes and lips, and looked more like Su Mingyue.
"A little girl?"
"Yes, she's the little sister, but you can't look down on her. Your older sister An Ning gave you two sons, so having a little sister is just right."
"How could I possibly dislike them? I love my children more than anything. You're telling me An Ning birth to two sons?"
"Yes, twins, both boys, and they're very mischievous."
Lin Zhen felt a surge of happiness welling up in her heart. Now she had both a son and a daughter.
"Come on, honey, let's go inside and see my two sons! Haha, I have both a son and a daughter now!"
Just as he was about to pull Su Mingyue into the house, Su Mingyue stopped and looked back at Ling'er behind Lin Zhen.
"This young lady..."
Su Mingyue is now at the peak of her Meteor Stage and has good eyesight. She can tell at a glance that this elf girl is actually a real girl, so she is no longer so averse to her.
After all, no wife would be happy to see her husband bring home a beautiful woman while she waits for him to return.
This elven girl, in particular, possessed an astonishing beauty that made Su Mingyue, who had always been the most beautiful woman on Earth, feel a sense of crisis.
Lin Zhen chuckled awkwardly, "This is Ling'er, a woman with a tragic fate. I rescued her and treated her like a younger sister, so I brought her back."
"Oh, then welcome, Ling'er, come over here."
Ling'er kept looking at Su Mingyue, thinking that this woman was really beautiful and gentle. Only a woman like this could be worthy of Big Brother Lin.
However, in terms of age, Ling'er is considerably older than Su Mingyue.
It's not really fair to compare elf girls who are considered adults at 100 years old.
Ling'er stepped forward and greeted Su Mingyue. With her keen intuition, Su Mingyue could sense the girl's purity and kindness, and her hostility subsided considerably. She took Ling'er's hand and walked into the house.
At this moment, everyone in the family heard that Lin Zhen had returned and they all came to the door.
Lin Zhen hugged his parents, then kissed his wife An Ning, and then took his two sons, beaming from ear to ear.
Strong people in the universe often have many children, but Lin Zhen doesn't envy that. A few children are enough, and that's enough for now.
The two boys are both six months old, and they are extremely beautiful and healthy. Their little hands are very strong when you hold them, and they should be martial arts prodigies in the future.
Ling'er presented the gift she had prepared, which gradually won over her family.
The most important thing is that everyone can see that Ling'er and Lin Zhen are not involved, which makes things much easier.
Besides Lin Liye, Li Qin, An Ning, Su Mingyue, and their two children, this large family also includes two angel girls, the Angel sisters, who stayed behind to take care of An Ning and Su Mingyue respectively. The family members are as close as sisters and live a harmonious life together.
Lin Zhen sat on the sofa, stretching out her arms to hug one of her sons and cradling her daughter in her arms, she simply couldn't get enough of looking at her.
"Lin Zhen, the children don't have formal names yet. Can you give them names?" After giving birth, An Ning radiated maternal glow and became even more beautiful.
Lin Liye nodded, "Yes, you've been gone for over a year. We've been waiting for you to name the children, and we can't get in touch with you normally."
Lin Liye has now advanced to the rank of War God, Level Eight God of War, while Li Qin is Level Six God of War. Although taking care of their child has not delayed their cultivation, they also need to work hard to cultivate in order to see the third generation grow up, just as Lin Zhen said, so that they can continue to be happy.
Lin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I don't expect my children to be like me, that path is too difficult. But I want them all to be safe and sound. My eldest son will be named Lin Ping, and my second son will be named Lin An."
His parents and wife all nodded slightly, which was exactly what they wanted.
As long as Lin Zhen is around, the children's cultivation is not a problem, but their safety is the most important thing.
"What about our daughter?" Su Mingyue asked.
"My precious daughter is so beautiful. She will surely be as charming and lovely as her mother when she grows up. Let's name her Meier. I will protect my child and help her grow up healthy."
The names of the three children have been decided, and the whole family is overjoyed.
Back home, Lin Zhen was in high spirits and said, "Since I'm so happy today, let's make all the people of my Sun Territory happy too. Issue a notice that the Sun Territory will be exempt from taxes for the next three years, and the salaries of all those in positions will be doubled, with no salary reductions afterward."
Lin Liye was startled. "Lin Zhen, don't do anything reckless. Do you know how much that will cost? Our finances are not exactly flush."
"Father, it's alright. I am the lord, and I have an obligation to ensure the happiness of my people. The financial matters are not a problem; I will handle them."
If Lin Zhen's wealth were truly calculated, it would be enough to buy the entire Tianhe Empire, if not the entire one. Raising wages in his small territory would be a piece of cake for him.
The news was released, and the Sun Territory was filled with jubilation.
Lin Zhen's popularity has also greatly increased; the true way of a king is to combine kindness and severity.
The family dinner was lively, and the sight of so many beautiful women at the table was a feast for the eyes. Lin Zhen even got a little tipsy.
That night, he slept with his two wives in the same bed and partied all night, leaving An Ning and Su Mingyue, whose strength had reached the peak of the meteor realm, unable to get out of bed the next day.
********
After Lin Zhen returned, he almost never left the house, spending every day with his parents and family, guiding his relatives in their cultivation, accompanying his children in their growth, and also offering some opinions and requests regarding the construction of the Sun Territory.
With Lin Zhen's substantial financial support, the construction of the Sun Territory progressed rapidly, and the development of the second Base City on Mars and Jupiter officially began.
Lin Zhen also took some time to visit Baichuan Star and purchased a slave army of 10,000 people, all of whom were experts at the Star Stage, which greatly enhanced the security of the Solar System territory.
But Lin Zhen knew that this wasn't truly safe.
Given the current trend of the Sun Territory, even if Black Hole Stage were to occur, it wouldn't cause any significant disturbance. However, if a Star System Stage were to arrive, then this place would be in danger.
No one can resist absolute power.
So every day when no one was watching, Lin Zhen would use the Heavenly Artifact's Pocket Watch to cultivate. One hour of cultivation equaled twelve hours, and he maintained eight hours of cultivation time every day, which was equivalent to four whole days.
If this continues, Lin Zhen can consume the prepared metal every seven to eight days to improve his cultivation level.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Zhen has upgraded from Satellite Level Seven to a planet level 8!
It's not just about upgrading his realm; Lin Zhen has also truly mastered the Mental Evil Spirit Impact during this period, and can now unleash it at will, just like a regular Mental Impact. This is currently his biggest trump card.
The Azure Sky-color Mental Power has advanced further, reaching 95%, and is not far from its true peak.
However, at this point, Lin Zhen's cultivation level was about to stagnate once again.
Lin Zhen's main body is currently at the eighth level of the planetary realm, while his clone has reached the mid-stage of the Black Hole. At this point, the clone can no longer upgrade as quickly as the main body. The reason he has the strength of the mid-stage Black Hole is because Lin Zhen's clone has the bloodline of the Star River Beast.
If it were a regular clone, it would eventually be left behind by the main body.
Lin Zhen's Dark Star Power has also stagnated at the peak of the Proterozoic Eon. He is still missing something to evolve to the Phanerozoic Eon, and has been unable to evolve for a long time.
Although such strength was enough to be a lord in a Elementary Civilization Universe Country, Lin Zhen knew where his danger lay.
It's already autumn, and there are only five months until the New Year. Before the New Year, Xi Lan Ke might arrive. If there isn't enough power to match him by then, everything I have will be destroyed.
********
The autumn garden was laden with fruit, containing rare plants from various planets in the Lin Zhen Sun Territory.
Both parents and their wives were cultivating. Under Lin Zhen's great guidance, their cultivation levels had also improved by leaps and bounds. The wives had entered the Comet Stage, while the parents had successfully advanced to the Stellar Realm, taking the most crucial step.
The children are growing up very fast. Unlike children from ordinary families, the two boys, Lin Ping and Lin An, are even able to walk independently.
Lin Meier can now crawl around everywhere, and the word "Daddy" pops out of her little mouth from time to time.
Lin Zhen sat on the swing in the garden, swaying gently, pondering her next move.
To advance one's cultivation level, one needs a large amount of Cosmic Crystal to purchase metals; entering the Star Stage is a significant step away.
Unless it's an upgrade to Dark Star Space, but how can one advance to that level?
"Beep beep!! Master, someone is calling you from within the Dimensional Universe. It's your friend Chen Fenglie."
Lin Zhen's spirits lifted. He hadn't been in contact with Chen Fenglie for some time, and Chen Fenglie hadn't appeared since he returned, supposedly cultivating alone. Why would he take the initiative to contact him today?
Upon entering the Dimensional Universe, Chen Fenglie met him in a bar.
Having not seen him for a long time, Lin Zhen never expected to see Chen Fenglie in such a disheveled state.
His body was covered in blood, clearly indicating that he had just been in a fierce battle and had lost.
Lin Zhen was truly surprised that Chen Fenglie, who was already at the seventh level of the Satellite Stage, could lose like this.
"Old Chen, what happened? Did you get beaten up at a nightclub for not paying your bill?"
"Brother Lin, don't tease me. You're such a leisurely lord, don't you know about such a big thing happening on Earth?" Chen Fenglie said anxiously.
"What exactly happened? How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?"
"Hey~! It's all because of your policy, which forbids experts from participating in the capture of Earth's Mutated Beast, leaving them all for low-level martial artists to practice on. Now you've created a menace!"
