"Heh heh, you want to threaten this old woman? You'd better take a good look at yourselves and see how much you're worth!" Jiang Li sneered at every Eclosion Immortal present, showing not the slightest regard for them. Only after seeing that no one dared to speak did she turn to me and soften her tone. "Dao Lord Xia, my husband died in battle, and so did my son and daughter-in-law. Even my grandson is dead. There's only a widowed mother and orphan left in our household. Even if we wish to continue our bloodline, we need someone with a Twofold Spirit Root to do so. The Hidden God Clan cannot have children with those who lack a Twofold Spirit Root; otherwise, none of our descendants will possess one. I ask that you agree to this old woman's request."
"I understand your reasoning, Senior, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline. For one, Jiang Ran and I have no feelings for each other. For another, she likely wouldn't consider me the ideal partner.

I'll follow in the End God's footsteps and wipe out the immortal sects of Mu Immortal Continent once more!"
"How dare you!"
"How dare a member of the Hidden God Clan act so arrogantly!?"
