Don't Cry, Look Ahead!

[Outside the county town lies a well-maintained cemetery, surrounded by a ring of tall Snow Maple Tree. Their verdant leaves and snow-white petals create a unique and picturesque scene.]

[Chen Family Cemetery]

[This is a cemetery exclusively for your Chen Family, where your relatives are buried.]

[There aren't many tombstones here, and you don't recognize most of them; you only recognize the one in the center.]

[Chen Yun.]

Chen Liu has lived a very comfortable life in the Human World for the past few decades.

He married eight wives and fathered dozens of children, turning the Chen Family into a large and prosperous Lineage, practically a local tyrant in White Cloud County.

The Chen Family motto is "Strive for excellence and achieve wealth through hard work." No one in the Lineage is lazy; regardless of how wealthy they are, everyone uses their own hands to create more Wealth.

[The descendants of Chen Liu and Chen Yun transformed White Cloud County into White Cloud City.]

You came to your Third Sister's grave and lit an incense stick.

"Was she upset when she passed away?"

["She passed away last year, at the age of ninety. She was ill, probably with cancer. I used Law Technique to make her feel no pain."]

"It's only a year... Why didn't you make some Pill to prolong her life? That way, I could still see her one last time."

["I refined it, but the effect wasn't very noticeable. She's just a mortal, and she can't absorb much of the medicinal properties."]

[You believe Chen Liu will definitely do everything in his power to save Chen Yun.]

[After all, he's spent far more time with his Third Sister Third Sister than you have.]

[Although feelings shouldn't be measured, the bond between Chen Liu and Chen Yun is indeed deeper than yours.]

[And so, this act of writing on the grave became your way of comforting Chen Liu.]

["Okay, stop crying. Look ahead. Everyone is born, grows old, gets sick, and dies. We must learn to accept it..."]

"She's my own sister! The best person in the world to me!"

Some of my wives are after my fame, some after my wealth, and some even after my good looks! They all claim to love me, but who knows what they're really thinking! I didn't Eavesdrop on Inner Thoughts!

Only my sister truly loves me!!

My sister!!

Ah!! Sister!!

[Chen Liu's wailing echoed in your mind, giving you a headache, so you had no choice but to let him out and let him cry his heart out.]

"You should remain in the Human World."

"Oh? I thought you were going to take me away. I feel like I'm not very useful here."

"If you stay here, the Black Hand seems hesitant to act. This way, the Human World can be preserved, and it will also remind those on the Ascension Path to tread the deadly path 999 times, ensuring the Ascension Path continues to supply me with talent."

[By Ascension Path nine hundred and ninety-nine times through dead ends, one can reach the Fortune Star.]

[Take a special car from Fortune Star to Spirit Micro Star.]

[If you want to hone your skills, go to Blaze Star. Use Blaze Star as a springboard to reach other planets teeming with powerful individuals.]

[Your forces are all along this route; the Human Race is absolutely safe.]

[You've paved the way for all those who ascend to immortality in the Human World.]

[Once they grow stronger, you, the Dao Protector of Human Race and the Martial God Chen of the Human World, will surely gain their support with just a simple call to arms.]

[Therefore, Chen Liu's seemingly mundane life in the Human World is actually quite important.]

[Afterwards, you went to visit Dachun.]

"Brother Yi? You're the real Brother Yi!"

[Dachun recognized you as your true form at a glance.]

[When I just wanted to hug you, I realized you were just a transparent shadow.]

You gave a bitter smile.

["Dachun, that guy crying at the grave over there, that's also Zhen Brother Yi."]

["Dachun knows this. He's very good to me and to the entire Chen Family. Moreover, the family has very strict rules; they absolutely forbid any scoundrels from appearing in the Lineage, and if they catch one, they'll have their entire family executed."]

["Yes, is that so..."]

The Chen Family is now a complete stranger to you.

The Lineage owns countless mansions and Lineage spanning Five Domains.

[The Chen Family Manor where you first lived, where six Winged Race served as guards, is no longer inhabited. It has become a Lineage tourist attraction, where elders often bring younger generations to visit, conduct on-site education, and reflect on past hardships.]

"Dachun, I don't have much time. I still have some things to do. You stay here and be careful."

"Don't worry, Brother Yi, no one has tried to harm me all these years."

"That's because the person who cried at the grave kept you by their side, Black Hand didn't dare."

[You bid farewell to Dachun, left White Cloud City, and prepared to head to the Divine Weapon Pavilion in Shenbing Commandery.]

[You didn't use the Dao Protector's permission to teleport directly, nor did you fly at full speed; instead, you skimmed over the continent at a normal speed.]

[Unleash your Divine Sense and scan every inch of this land.]

[You did not conceal your presence, allowing your powerful energy to radiate outwards.]

[You're wondering if this might attract Black Hand and leave some clues.]

[The Black Hand wasn't attracted, but Hua Wuyan was.]

"So that's why such a powerful aura has appeared in the Human World again. It's Martial God Chen. What brings you to inspect the Human World today?"

[Hua Wuyan thought you were Chen Liu.]

[You didn't tell anyone about your trip to the Real Realm, so Hua Wuyan doesn't know you came back from a projection of the Real Realm.]

"I just came out to relax and enjoy the scenery."

[Hua Wuyan looked slightly suspicious, sensing something was off about you.]

[You changed the subject.]

["Senior Hua, so many people from the Human World have already gone to the Real Realm. Don't you really want to consider going to the Real Realm? Maybe you can make further progress and prolong your life?"]

Hua Wuyan smiled and shook her head.

"You're trying to persuade me again. Unlike my master, I'm not interested in immortality. Life is only complete because of death. Accepting death with equanimity is also a kind of Daoist heart."

[The Great Demon is obsessed with achieving immortality and eternal life; he will not give up until he achieves his goal, and even in death, he will use evil methods to forcibly prolong his existence.]

[Hua Wuyan, on the other hand, accepted death with complete equanimity.]

[These two, master and disciple, had completely opposite views on life and death.]

[In fact, even if Hua Wuyan went to the Real Realm, it would be very difficult for her to extend her lifespan.]

[The lifespan of a peak Qi Condensation Realm (Martial God) is one thousand years for Human Race, regardless of whether it's in the Real Realm or Void Realm.]

[To further increase the theoretical lifespan limit, the only way is to comprehend relevant Divine Ability.]

[To comprehend Divine Ability, one must reach the Desolate Realm.]

[This requires passing through the Core Formation Realm.]

Even if Hua Wuyan went to the Real Realm, she probably wouldn't have enough time to cultivate to the Desolate Realm.

So her decision was actually quite wise.

[You wandered around the Human World but didn't notice anything unusual.]

[He had no choice but to give up and prepare to go to the Divine Weapon Pavilion to complete the Star Ape's quest.]

[While passing over the Xiaoyao Holy Land, you discover that the Xiaoyao God is preaching within the Holy Land.]

["The Xiaoyao God is also Martial God, so why doesn't he go to the Real Realm? Doesn't he know the Ascension Path has appeared in the mortal realm?"]

[The Xiaoyao God often stays in the Time Chamber to prolong his lifespan, so his understanding of many things happening outside is somewhat delayed.]

[Considering he died fighting against the Dragon Person Race in the Five Simulations, he was a loyal and righteous person. You're going to give him a friendly reminder.]
