May the Seas Be Calm and Rivers Clear!

[Fiftyth year, seventy-six years old.]

[Adou was taken to live in the palace and cared for by a professional royal nanny, where he grew up to be fair and chubby.]

[According to royal rules, royal offspring must soak in Medicinal Bath to Body Refining from a young age, and sleep in spiritual springs so that their bodies can become familiar with the Immortal Qi.]

[There are a total of thirty-six subjects involving foundational exercises like these.]

[From age one to twelve, everything that needs to be done before formal cultivation is clearly arranged.]

[But you didn't let them treat Adou like that.]

It's not that you don't want to give Adou resources.

[It's just that you feel it's unnecessary.]

[ With Adou's top-tier Human Race talent, if you use external aids to further enhance it, you're worried it will be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, ultimately damaging his potential.]

[In short, using medicine to cultivate is not advisable, as it may damage Adou's potential; natural cultivation is better.]

[The Zhong family, who gave birth to Liu Adou, were immediately granted titles by you and lived a life of plenty.]

[On this day, you secretly took Adou away and came to Windrise Village, where you met Mr. Xun.]

[Upon seeing Adou, especially the unusual phenomenon in his hands, Mr. Xun's eyes welled up with tears.]

"He's Destined One. I never imagined I'd be so fortunate to meet Destined One in my lifetime."

"Have there been Destined One before?"

"Of course, looking at history as a whole, there are many examples."

"But the Heavenly Emperor never reappeared in this era, indicating that these Destined One ultimately failed."

"With Alien Race ruling the world, Human Race survives in the cracks. How difficult it is to walk the path of the Heavenly Emperor again."

In particular, those Destined One for greatness often possess extraordinary qualities. Even if it is merely exceptional talent, they will certainly attract the attention of Alien Race, and the outcome is predictable.

Even if a Destined One spends their entire life in a small place, never coming into contact with any major power.

But resources in small places are limited; how can they support the birth of Heavenly Emperor?

This is the meaning of everything you're doing now.

[You have arranged for Shen Yifeng and Ma Bang to travel to Spirit Micro Star in Star Boat, making them the liaison and messengers between the two stars.]

[You need to establish communication between Spirit Micro Star and Blaze Star, ensuring close contact and resource exchange between the two locations.]

What you have now are just "small places," but if you connect these small places together, they may one day become "big places."

[However, before that, we must maintain a low profile, letting the Alien Race races take the lead while the Human Race remain behind the scenes.]

[The Yi God Church in the Feathering Star System and the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom on Blaze Star both use this system.]

[Li Wentian in the Human World was also very capable, unifying a Second-Class Star among the Sixth Simulation, but he was ultimately beheaded by the Holy Dragon Society on the pretext of "disrupting peace."]

[You've learned his lesson.]

[Until they are truly independent, they must remain hidden behind the forces of Alien Race to deceive everyone!]

"Mr. Xun, have you made contact with Vermilion Purple Star?"

"Although the speed at which the Kindling Tree transmits messages is faster than the maximum speed of the Star Lane, it still takes some time. I think they should have received it by now, and a reply is on its way."

[The Kindling Tree, a sacred tree used by the Kindling Society to transmit messages between planets.]

[This tree appears no different from ordinary trees on the surface, and there is nothing extraordinary about it.]

[But every branch and every leaf on this tree corresponds to a Kindling Tree growing on another planet.]

[Using these branches and leaves, the Kindling Society communicate efficiently across interstellar distances.]

However, this "efficiency" is only relative to the scale of the universe.

[Given the distance between Blaze Star and Vermilion Purple Star, it would take a year to send a message back and forth.]

The Kindling Tree can be considered the most important sacred object of the Kindling Society.

[The Kindling Society can spread throughout the universe, and this tree has played an indispensable role in that.]

[There is essentially only one Kindling Tree.]

The Kindling Tree growing on various planets all originated from branches plucked from the very first tree.

[You won't stay on Blaze Star forever, because it's a Second-Class Star. You need the environment of First-Class Star to break through your cultivation level more quickly.]

[Moreover, the Star Ape are waiting for you to go to the Human World and bring their prince back.]

[So, your next stop is Vermilion Purple Star.]

[So you had Mr. Xun contact his superiors, the Kindling Society, specifically the Vermilion Purple Star Kindling Society, informing them that a Destined One had been discovered on Blaze Star, and that someone would be delivered there soon, hoping they would be there to provide assistance.]

[Who should deliver it? You, of course.]

[In what capacity? A member of the Kindling Society.]

[Although this does not conform to the procedures of the Kindling Society.]

[But seeing everything you've done for Human Race on Blaze Star, Mr. Xun's assessment of you is: not Destined One, not a torchbearer, but surpassing the Destined One, transcending the torchbearer.]

[Therefore, he betrayed the oath of the Kindling Society, bypassing the proper procedures for joining the Kindling Society and directly approving your Kindling Society as a formal member.]

[And he holds the second-in-command position in the Blaze Star Kindling Society.]

[This means that once you arrive on Vermilion Purple Star, you will be able to directly enter the Vermilion Purple Star Kindling Society.]

"Although Vermilion Purple Star is First-Class Star, the Kindling Society more complete and the strength will be stronger."

However, the Alien Race forces on First-Class Star are even more powerful. They allow Human Race forces like the Ji Family and Jiang Family to exist, essentially because they can control them.

Mr. Chen, does this child really have to go to Vermilion Purple Star?

[You looked at Adou in his swaddling clothes and said.]

"With you and me ruling overtly and covertly, Blaze Star is too comfortable; it may not be suitable for the Destined One. Even though the First-Class Star is subject to constant change, I will not let Adou leave my side this time. I believe his safety is not a major concern."

"Adou..."

"This child hasn't been named yet, so this is what I'll call him."

"Why don't I name him?"

"That's fine."

[Adou's last simulation was named "Chen Yixun," in memory of Mr. Xun who sacrificed himself to protect him from Blaze Star.]

[This simulation doesn't involve that issue, so it would be strange to still refer to it that way.]

[So you think it's a good idea for Mr. Xun to name him; it's a kind of commemoration of the last simulation.]

"This child's father's surname is Zhong. He is blessed with Destined One. May he follow Mr. Chen and contribute to the revival of Human Race in the future..."

Let's call him Zhong Yanqing. May the world be peaceful and the rivers clear, may things return to their source, and may our Human Race one day see the light of day again.

You turn to look at Adou.

"Adou, from today onwards you will be called Zhong Yanqing!"

In the following years, Chen Yi did not rush to leave, but waited for Adou to grow to the appropriate age.

Otherwise, it would be too much trouble to bring diapers on the Star Boat.

When he wasn't in a hurry to cultivate, Chen Yi would switch to Mortal Bone to comprehend Divine Ability.

Unable to grasp the Divine Ability powers, he switched to cultivating with his Mortal Bone.

As he jumped back and forth, Adou gradually grew up, and the day to go to the Vermilion Purple Star drew near.
