Cosmic Galaxy Bank, Blood Fiend Secret Realm.

This is an exclusive secret realm within the bank, a top-tier training ground tailored for the direct disciples and offspring of those at the Peak King, or even Venerable and Universe Master, helping them unlock the door to immortality.

Within the secret realm, above the heavens, the bloodthirsty aura occasionally condenses into various ferocious beast shadows, terrifying all who behold them.

At this moment, a figure in black stood silently at the top of the secret realm; it was Tang Ping's clone. He was surrounded by an aura of bloodlust so thick it was almost impenetrable. If any of the students in the secret realm saw him, they would surely call out in awe, "Vice Hall Master!"

He had previously lamented that he felt somewhat sorry for his community by holding multiple positions and receiving double salaries.

It wasn't until I consulted my master that I learned that those old guys at the top of the Human Race were all experts at "shearing sheep," almost all of them holding multiple positions and receiving multiple salaries.

After all, humanity's current territory spans 1008 High-level Universe Country, with countless secret realms and endless void regions yet to be explored. However, the top combat power of the Human Race is extremely limited: only a few thousand Venerable and a few dozen Universe Master.

It would be a waste of talent to have one person do one job.

The most outrageous of them all was Venerable Kandri, who guarded the Initial Universe and oversaw the Chaos Monument. That old monster actually split into 52 clones, each guarding a Chaos Monument, thus receiving 52 stipends.

"Terrifying!" Tang Ping exclaimed, the last trace of guilt in his heart vanishing.

In fact, he's quite adept at "wool-pulling" (taking advantage of loopholes).

In this Blood Fiend Secret Realm, he leveraged his numerous clones, ruthless and decisive actions, and the sinister "hehehe" laugh that struck fear into the hearts of all the students, making him a true "model worker" within the secret realm.

He is both the Soul Hall Vice Hall Master and an elder, participating in the formulation of the rules for the Secret Realm Trials; he also serves as a core instructor, personally training top students. Furthermore, he single-handedly takes on many roles in the Secret Realm Trials that require "villains" to drive the plot and unleash the students' potential.

It can be said that he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work and held multiple positions.

Moreover, it is precisely because of this "special contribution" that his three children, Tang An, Tang Yiyi, and Tang Guo, were able to enjoy the best nurturing resources in the Blood Fiend Secret Realm.

Even so, the path to immortality is far more difficult than imagined. After thousands of years of trials, these three children are still just one step away from the Immortal Realm.

After multiple rounds of analysis, the education expert team from Galaxy Bank reached a core conclusion: the current intensity of the trials is insufficient to stimulate the three to break through their bottlenecks, and an extreme external force is required.

There are two optimal solutions: one is the extreme trial of life and death, and the other is the bond of descendants to continue the bloodline.

As a father, Tang Ping was naturally reluctant to let his children suffer the pain of separation and death, so he unhesitatingly decided on the second option: offspring.

Even in the cosmic era, the two unchanging mountains still weigh heavily on the shoulders of the vast majority of powerful individuals:

Loans and offspring.

Even the most powerful beings who overlook the universe cannot escape this calamity. Only a very few peerless masters can break free from the entanglements of the two generations and truly transcend the mundane.

Loans are actually not so bad; the strong can simply become "respectable deadbeats." After all, they have shed blood and tears for their community, and we are all family, seeing each other all the time. It's not appropriate to pressure them too much; at most, they can be assigned some dangerous tasks to offset their debts.

However, their descendants are enough to ensnare the minds of most powerful individuals.

Only by becoming a father yourself can you understand that feeling. When your child first smiles at you, calls out "Daddy" in their tender voice, and snuggles softly into your arms, you would willingly offer them the most precious treasure in the entire universe.

Descendants are the softest yet most steadfast concern in the heart of a strong person.

Seeing that the three girls were gradually getting used to the adventures in the secret realm, their enthusiasm waning and their ambition waning, Tang Ping no longer hesitated and directly activated the "cruel alternative plan": a "blind date" across trial areas, precisely controlled by the Intelligence Center.

This is certainly not a simple meeting and conversation between a man and a woman in the mortal world. Rather, it relies on the spatial folding characteristics and causal disturbance technology of the Blood Fiend Secret Realm, and through countless precise macro and micro adjustments, to make his children and carefully selected trial students meet and become entangled under the impetus of a series of coincidences.

The selection process for potential blind dates is complex: the first step involves the Intelligence Center retrieving the browsing history, lifestyle habits, interests, and personality traits of all eligible participants. Through trillions of simulations, candidates who complement Tang An three are selected.

The second step involved Tang Ping personally overseeing the initial screening by the elders.

Tang Ping's requirements for his future daughter-in-law were not high: she should be virtuous and have a figure that conformed to the mainstream aesthetic standards of the Human Race.

After all, the Human Race has thousands of vassal groups under its command. Although most of them have taken human form, there are quite a few with strange appearances, such as the Iron Luo Tribe race, whose body is covered with blue scales and whose face is ferocious. Tang Ping could not accept such a daughter-in-law.

As for his future son-in-law, his requirements were even stricter: in addition to being virtuous and clean-living, the candidate's parents had to be gentle and mild-mannered, without any violent or bloody behavior, and the candidate himself had to be of good appearance. Furthermore, his race could not have any bad customs such as cannibalism or bloodlust.

Fortunately, the Human Race is vast, and there are many powerful Human Race who yearn for their offspring to break through to immortality. Families that can afford this top-tier training package have at least the Peak King, so they are not worried about not finding a suitable candidate.

Tang Ping reviewed the candidates' information one by one, eliminating several "lecherous" individuals whose appearance did not meet his standards and whose personalities were frivolous.

Later, the qualifications of the remaining candidates far exceeded expectations.

Come to think of it, a family that can spend huge sums of money to send its descendants into the Blood Fiend Secret Realm to participate in the cultivation of immortality must be at least at the Peak King level, so it is a good match for his family.

After finalizing the shortlist, Tang Ping watched with great interest this "drama of love entanglements" that he had personally directed, through the monitoring screen of the secret realm.

Under the precise control of the Intelligence Center, his three children are experiencing a series of encounters filled with grudges and passions with their respective candidates in different trial areas.

The eldest son, Tang An, is calm and composed, and is currently deeply embroiled in the "Nether Blood Monster" trial.

According to the Intelligence Center's settings, his girlfriend candidate, Ling Yue, from the Windfall Universe Country, who is skilled in speed and assassination, was being besieged by three blood monsters and happened to wander into Tang An's combat range.

Ling Yue mistook Tang An for the enemy controlling the blood monster and launched a sneak attack without saying a word. Caught off guard, Tang An was grazed by a wind blade, creating an opening in his defense. Then, the blood monster erupted, forcing the two to fight back to back.

However, the previous misunderstanding remained unresolved. The two continued to fend off the blood monster's attacks while remaining wary of each other. It wasn't until a chance encounter—when Ling Yue shielded Tang An from a fatal blow and was severely injured—that Tang An lowered his guard and began healing her. What followed was a series of life-or-death crises where they helped each other...

The second daughter, Tang Yiyi, was nominated by Wen Chen, who came from the Yanhuang Universe Country and was skilled in the Flame Law.

Wen Chen is gentle and dislikes fighting, but because he possesses a "Blood Flame Crystal Core" that Tang Yiyi urgently needs, he gets caught up in a struggle between multiple forces.

In order to seize the crystal core, Tang Yiyi directly attacked Wen Chen. After a fierce battle, although Wen Chen was not weak, he repeatedly backed down because he was unwilling to fight to the death. In the end, he was severely injured by Tang Yiyi, and the crystal core was taken away.

Just as Tang Yiyi was about to leave, a group of ruthless characters who coveted the crystal core suddenly appeared and severely injured her. In this critical moment, Wen Chen, who could have taken the opportunity to escape, chose to turn back and use his own Flame Law to create an escape route for Tang Yiyi.

The two fled together, during which Wen Chen took meticulous care of the injured Tang Yiyi, and Tang Yiyi was gradually moved by Wen Chen's Gentle and sense of responsibility.

The youngest daughter, Tang Guo, is innocent and carefree. Her suitor is Long Hao, who comes from the Xinghan Universe Country and possesses pure Dragon-Man Race blood.

Long Hao, aloof and arrogant, is currently entangled in the illusionary power within the secret realm. While exploring the Illusionary Sea, Tang Guo is inadvertently affected by Long Hao's out-of-control Divine Power and is also drawn into the illusion. The two support each other within the illusion, encounter various misunderstandings, resolve them, and finally understand everything.

Looking at the scenes he had manipulated, Tang Ping felt comforted, even though there were many coincidences and accidents involved.

Finally, the Old Tang Family bloodline can be passed down!

How come these children didn't inherit his wonderful, affectionate, and devoted character at all!
