Basic Psionic Mecha!

"Hiss~ sss~"

The massive Purple Thunder Heavenly Sun Python hissed toward the Li Family disciples who were paying their respects, conveying the will of their ancestor from beyond the grave.

Li Xiang became increasingly convinced that he was the Voldemort of this world...

Meanwhile, the members of the Li Family in the game were kowtowing one after another, filled with gratitude.

"The ancestor has accepted this offering; he is very satisfied with it!"

"That's wonderful, the ancestor shouldn't be disappointed in us this time."

After finishing his kowtows, Li Dalong turned toward the Temple Guardian Beast and said, "Please ask the ancestor if he has any instructions to pass down."

What wonderful descendants, aren't they?

Always ready to listen to the teachings of their ancestor.

Li Xiang pondered for a moment before typing into the game—

Continue to work hard and develop the clan well.

"Hiss~ sss~"

Watching the Purple Thunder Heavenly Sun Python emit that Voldemort-like sound again, Li Xiang couldn't help but wonder: was he truly set up as a mysterious villain in this game?

Xu Cuihua hurriedly said to Li Dalong, "Husband, the ancestor said he is very satisfied and wants us to develop the family well!"

"Rest assured, ancestor..."

Li Dalong was just about to butter up the ancestor.

He suddenly froze, then hurriedly pulled his wife and children to kneel backward as golden light began to emanate from the Ancestral Tablet!

"The ancestor has manifested again!"

In an instant, everyone scrambled to kowtow.

With a loud 'boom', a colossal object appeared in the courtyard in front of the Ancestral Tablet in the Li Family Ancestral Hall. Its height was even on par with the stunned Purple Thunder Heavenly Sun Python—ten meters tall!

It was a day of severe drought, and the scorching sun shone down upon this giant object, its dazzling luster making it impossible for the crowd to open their eyes for a moment.

When they finally saw the full appearance of the object, their faces were filled with shock.

The object stood like a human, its body full of sharp angles. Its silver exterior possessed a smooth, metallic sheen, and its veins seemed to be exposed, with various parts of its body glowing!

[Primary War Puppet]!

Seeing the confused and terrified gazes of his descendants, Li Xiang was even more satisfied.

In the real world, this thing was called a Psionic Mecha!

Its interior utilized biotechnology, allowing it to possess human-like agility and the ability to circulate spiritual energy through meridians. Its exterior, however, was pure technological mecha, with nanotechnology connecting the core flesh and blood.

As long as it consumed spirit stones, those stones would provide a continuous stream of energy to the mecha, and it could even actively recharge itself!

A primary mecha possessed the power of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, and could even go head-to-head with a master who had just entered the Golden Core Realm!

Such a mecha.

It was also the initial means developed by the American Empire to combat demonic beasts when spiritual energy first began to recover on Earth. Later, after continuous development and iteration by Huaxia, it eventually evolved into this form.

Likewise, because its lethality was too great, it had become contraband for ordinary people on Earth!

But for Grandma Ling, such contraband was easily obtained.

"This is... what is this? Such a strong sense of oppression!"

"Could this be the true form of our ancestor?"

"The powerful ancestor!"

The Li Family descendants were in an uproar!

Just by looking at it, they could already sense the power of the War Puppet!

It wasn't just them.

Even the Purple Thunder Heavenly Sun Python stared at the War Puppet with a hint of fear; it felt that it was no match for this guy at all!

"True form?"

In front of the computer screen, the corners of Li Xiang's mouth curled upward.

At first, he had intended to give the mecha to his descendants and teach them how to operate it step by step.

But now.

He discovered that the [Family Cultivation Simulator] had even more features than he had imagined, and it was even more user-friendly!

[Your Bestowal—Primary War Puppet has been delivered!]

[Detected that the War Puppet has an operating system; would you like to establish a connection?]

[Operating the Primary War Puppet manually requires 5,000 Incense points!]

[Ding!]

[Insufficient Incense points; the War Puppet has entered autonomous combat mode.]

In other words.

He could manipulate the War Puppet to fight from outside the game through a mental connection.

It was just like VR control!

"I can feel every blade of grass and every tree in the game world with absolute clarity!"

Li Xiang's eyes widened. The more he played Cultivation Family Simulator, the more functions it seemed to unlock!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Li Xiang looked at his Incense value.

[During this Grand Sacrifice, your descendants felt the great power of their ancestor, Incense +100!]

He glanced toward the upper right corner.

Incense: 2106.

He had been saving up Incense for years, but it was still not enough to establish a connection with the War Puppet.

"The road ahead is long and arduous."

Li Xiang wasn't in a hurry. His initial intention wasn't to pilot a mecha, but to make this mecha the trump card of the Li Family. After all, the Li Family still faced the Hu Family as an enemy; if handled improperly, the entire Tailin Town could become their adversary.

This was also the reason Li Xiang had sent the War Puppet over!

And...

Aside from medicinal pills, this was the best thing Li Xiang could send at the moment.

[Year 20 of the Li Family, after the Grand Sacrifice.]

[As Zhien Village grew increasingly prosperous, 15-year-old Li Yaozu frequented the village. He developed secret feelings for Qu Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the village chief Qu Changming (Qi Refining Level 1). Under the starry sky, with the heavens as their quilt and the grass as their bed, they tasted the forbidden fruit, and she was impregnated in one go. Qu Xiaoxiao is pregnant...]

"Pfft..."

Looking at the game's event log, Li Xiang spat a mouthful of water onto the screen.

He hurriedly wiped the screen clean and clicked on Li Yaozu's profile to see what the eldest son of the Li Family had been up to.

It was a dark and windy night.

Two figures were embracing on the grass, with conspicuous text floating above their heads.

"Xiaoxiao, you are so beautiful... your hands seem so small, let me see... your eyes are also very pretty... your nose is so dainty..."

"Ying ying ying."

"..."

"Damn it!"

Li Xiang's face darkened. He never expected that Li Yaozu, who usually only knew how to practice swordplay and acted like a madman when killing enemies, would have such a way with the ladies???

He had the girl completely hooked!

After a moment of thought, Li Xiang's expression turned strange.

[Use 'Love from the Ancestor', consume 20 points of Incense.]

In an instant, a purple light lit up in the dark night, landing on Li Yaozu. The young man, who had been holding the girl's hand, suddenly went blank-eyed.

"Ah! Brother Yaozu, what is this light?" Qu Xiaoxiao was startled.

"Huh?"

Li Yaozu finally snapped back to reality. He hurriedly knelt down in the darkness, looking guilty as a thief. "Ancestor... thank you for the Bestowal, Ancestor. Please, I beg you, don't tell Father. If he... if he finds out I've been messing around, I'm afraid he'll break my legs!"

He wouldn't dare!

Li Xiang glared at the screen. Li Dalong hadn't had any children for several years; if he dared to stop Li Yaozu from having children, Li Xiang would have the Purple Thunder Heavenly Sun Python break Li Dalong's legs.

Besides... the rice was already cooked.

Li Xiang switched the screen, deciding not to disturb the young couple's intimacy anymore.

He sped up the footage, waiting expectantly for the third generation of the Li Family to appear!

Sure enough.

The next day, Li Yaozu, knowing he had been discovered, hadn't slept a wink, tossing and turning until dawn.

He bit the bullet, found his parents, and confessed what had happened between him and Qu Xiaoxiao.

Li Yaozu was immediately dragged to the ancestral hall.

"Ancestor, please calm your anger. Marriage is a matter of the parents' commands and the matchmaker's words."

Li Dalong knelt on the ground in terror. "My son Yaozu acted like a beast without permission, committing an impropriety against the daughter of the Qu Family. Please, Ancestor, punish him!"

Li Yaozu's face was pale as he also knelt on the ground. "Please, Ancestor, punish me. Yaozu will never dare to do it again!"

"Huh?"

Only then did Li Xiang finally realize that the values in the game world were a bit outdated.

It wasn't like the strange occurrences he had seen in his past life, where people would constantly stir things up to create new trends.

Even in the real world, embryonic child-rearing had become a fashion.

"Old Ancestor, please calm your anger!"

In the game, Li Dalong saw that the Old Ancestor had not responded for a long time and assumed the Old Ancestor was furious. Gritting his teeth, he raised his blade and glared viciously at his eldest son, "You rebellious son, take off your pants! How have I taught you since you were small? You actually dared to ruin a girl from the Qu Family. How could I have the face to see the Old Ancestor after I die? And how could I answer to Qu Changming?"

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Li Yaozu looked at the blade his father was holding in terror, already panicking and babbling, "Child... child only has one of those!"

"Stop!"

Seeing the scene in the game, Li Xiang was more anxious than Li Yaozu.

He cursed under his breath, never having imagined that Li Dalong would be ruthless enough to castrate his own son!

Li Xiang hurriedly clicked on the icon of the Purple Thunder Heavenly Sun Python, urgently saving Li Yaozu's manhood.

"Hiss~ sss~"

Li Yaozu clutched his pants tightly. Seeing the Temple Guardian Beast speak, he felt as if he had been granted a reprieve, "Dad, look quickly, the Old Ancestor has delivered his decree!"

As the Purple Thunder Heavenly Sun Python shook its head at Li Dalong.

Li Dalong finally lowered his blade. He glared viciously at Li Yaozu and said, "The Old Ancestor has spared you. Why aren't you kneeling to thank the Old Ancestor? Follow me to the Qu Family later, bring the betrothal gifts, and propose marriage! You have lost all the face of the Li Family, you beast!"

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for saving me!"

Li Yaozu's sweat had already soaked the ground.

Li Xiang, in front of the screen, also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It was close—his obedient descendant had almost ended up practicing the Bixie Sword Technique.

As for losing the Li Family's face?

He wasn't as conservative as Li Yaozu; on the contrary... he kind of wanted to learn a thing or two from this obedient descendant of his.

Soon.

The Li Family provided the betrothal gifts, and Qu Changming of the Qu Family wasn't so conservative either; he was actually happy to be able to marry his benefactor's child.

Finally.

The screen was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, red lanterns hung before the doors, and "Double Happiness" characters were plastered on every household in Zhien Village, as well as on the doors and windows of the Li Family.

The entire village of Zhien came to the Li Family to offer congratulations, and a grand banquet was held.

A pair of newlyweds, looking slightly youthful in appearance, walked before the Ancestral Hall as the gongs and drums sounded.

"First bow to heaven and earth."

"Second bow to the high hall!"

[Today is Li Yaozu's wedding. Please drink tea before the Ancestral Hall.]

[Incense +30!]

The second generation of the Li Family had finally married, and the third generation would soon be born. With descendants filling the house, the Li Family could finally be considered truly flourishing!

"Awesome!"

Li Xiang took a big gulp of his drink.

"Bow to each other, and enter the bridal chamber!"
