Why Not Dodge?

"Boom!"

A colossal hand, capable of blotting out the sky, crashed down, suppressing and freezing time and space, carrying the destructive power to strike directly at the face.

Tang Feifei struggled with her last ounce of strength. Even though the thought of burning her soul and everything else surged in her mind, her limbs and bones were locked by an invisible force, and she could not resist in the slightest.

He finally resigned himself to his fate.

Is this the Venerable's power? It's so strong it's despair-inducing.

But on second thought, didn't he also gain something?

He was originally a Pingping person, and if he had followed the usual path, he would have at most reached the Planetary Rank by relying on the benefits of the Luo Family and enjoyed a lifespan of a thousand years until the end. However, the Tang Family Ancestor perished and his inheritance appeared in the world. In a single day, his fortunes changed, and in just over eight thousand years, he rose to the ranks of the world lord.

In these eight thousand years, he has traversed mountain peaks and fallen into valleys; tasted the glory of fine clothes and spirited horses, and also experienced the hardship of wandering and begging for a living. He has crossed thousands of miles of starry seas and seen the vast sea of people in the mortal world: he once possessed everything, but in the blink of an eye, it all vanished like smoke.

Nothing in this world is Yongheng; even Immortal God eventually fall. How could this Venerable Anle before us escape the end of time?

At this moment, the panic in Tang Feifei's eyes faded away, leaving only calmness. She calmly closed her eyes and accepted her death.

Mom and Dad, your son has come to see you.

Venerable Anle, I will wait for you in samsara!

The giant hand just barely touched his cheek before abruptly stopping, its chilling intent almost seeping into his bones.

In an instant, the murderous intent vanished without a trace.

Tang Feifei suddenly opened his eyes, and his mindset strangely calmed down. He looked up at the figure on the high platform, still shrouded in a halo of light, so blurry that he couldn't see anything clearly.

Why not avoid it?

A soft voice drifted from the high platform, initially as faint as a mosquito's buzz, but in an instant it boomed like thunder, resounding throughout the heavens and earth, causing his mind to tremble violently.

Tang Feifei:???

He was frozen in place and couldn't move. How could he avoid it?

Wrong!

In a flash, a sudden inspiration struck.

For decades, aside from peeping into the Divine Temple of the Venerable Anle, he devoted himself to studying Earth's culture.

Firstly, he was a child born in this "Cradle of Geniuses"; secondly, he never understood why a Venerable Human Race would willingly condescend to sit in such a remote corner of the Solar System.

It should be understood that the history of the Human Race spans five trillion epochs. In these five trillion years, there have been only a little over a thousand famous Venerable, all of whom are Yongheng beings that appear only once every ten billion epochs.

The most renowned geniuses of Human Race today, such as Luo Feng, Ke Di, and Shi Huo, are only once-in-ten-million-epoch talents, with only Shi Huo having reached the position of Venerable. It is truly illogical for such supreme and terrifying beings to guard the tiny Solar System.

In his view, sending a supreme expert at the King Level to oversee the situation would be more than enough.

The so-called Cradle of Geniuses is ultimately just a collection of geniuses. Throughout human history, countless geniuses have failed to grow and never reached their full potential.

But after delving deeper, he became deeply attracted to Earth's culture, especially the Huaxia civilization, which, despite being only a few thousand years old, holds endless mysteries.

He would only briefly mention the glory of a prosperous era, but he would write extensively about the century of decline, dissecting the reasons for the failure in every word. History, Daoism, Confucianism, Mohism —he was captivated by all kinds of wisdom.

In his spare time, he also enjoyed watching classic novels and movies. Classic scenes from these films were often turned into memes by alien students who came to study in the Solar System, and he memorized quite a few of them.

One scene suddenly flashed clearly into my mind.

Tang Feifei raised her eyes, her gaze calmly meeting the one on the platform, her voice steady. "Because I'm not afraid."

Why aren't you afraid?

"To be unafraid is to be unafraid," he replied calmly, having already understood the truth in his heart.

The Tang Family Ancestor's arrangement of this trial mission was no accident; this Venerable Anle must have a deep connection with the Tang Family! Otherwise, how could those Tang Family descendants exposed to the scorching sun have survived until now?

His Venerable is imposing and cannot be offended!

Hehe~

A soft laugh rang out, and a figure appeared in front of Tang Feifei in an instant.

With black hair and black eyes, he had an ordinary and languid demeanor, and there was no trace of the imposing aura of a powerful person. Yet, his eyes seemed to hold the entire universe and all things in the universe. His gaze was peaceful, but it could see through all the secrets in people's hearts.

It was Tang Ping.

Seeing the younger generation raise their hand, he looked them up and down, and said approvingly, "Not bad, not bad!"

For over ten thousand years, the Tang Family has practiced a rigorous education system, with countless disciples undergoing numerous trials and receiving massive amounts of resources for training. Yet, only three have managed to reach this point in the Solar System.

Only Tang Feifei not only successfully touched the treasure he had set up, but also accurately matched his thought process.

Tang Feifei instantly understood, bent her knees and knelt down to pay her respects, her voice respectful. "Tang Feifei, a descendant of the Tang family, greets senior!"

May our predecessors' path of enlightenment advance forever, may they be immortal and indestructible, and may they sweep across the universe!

"Hahaha!" Tang Ping laughed loudly, "Take another look at your task list."

Tang Feifei was startled.

This Venerable Anle had such a close relationship with his ancestor that he even knew the inheritance mission panel of the Virtual Universe like the back of his hand. He quickly focused his attention and looked at it. The next moment, his pupils shrank and his eyes were filled with shock.

[Ding! The Human Race Overlord has arrived. The ultimate mission is complete. Congratulations, Tang Feifei, you have officially become Core Member of the Tang Clan.]

Glancing at the panel, then at the Venerable Anle before her, Tang Feifei's mind went blank for a moment, and an absurd yet perfectly reasonable thought suddenly arose in her head.

Is it possible that all the life-and-death trials, obstacles, relentless pursuit, and even the love and hate he has experienced over the years were all orchestrated by the Tang Family?

Is it possible that this Venerable Anle is the legendary ruler of Human Race?

Is it possible that the more than eight thousand years he has lived through, the so-called destiny, was nothing more than a meticulously planned trial?

At that moment, he almost had a mental breakdown.

Are all the ancestors of the Tang Family abnormal? They're already this powerful, yet they still torment their descendants like this! Look at the ancestor of the Luo Family; he treats his descendants according to their strength, protecting them and ensuring their smooth sailing all the way!

Waaaaah----

But then I thought, with the human rulers as my backers, protecting me, wouldn't that mean I could just take off?

Wuhu~

Wait a minute, if we're being protected by such an unreliable patriarch, won't we be even more easily taken advantage of in the future?

Sigh~

Tang Ping looked at this descendant of who knows how many generations ago, his expression shifting from pain and depression to ecstasy, then to despair, and finally just a long sigh, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips.

These ups and downs, these mixed feelings, are what make life interesting.

"Yes, Tang Feifei, right?" Tang Ping's smile faded, and his tone became solemn. "Now that you have passed the final test and become a true Core Member of my Tang Family, I will grant you two privileges: First, I will perform a Reverse Time and Space for you to resurrect the person you wish to save; second, I will bestow upon you a place in the Initial Universe."

"But I have three rules for teaching the younger generation that you must remember."

Firstly, I will not provide you with any cultivation resources.

Secondly: I will give you countless ready-made secret methods, but you will have to create and explore all the methods of cultivation yourself.

Thirdly: I will not concern myself with your life, death, honor, disgrace, or your choices. If you unfortunately perish, before reaching the Immortal Realm, you will only have one chance to be resurrected; after reaching Immortality, if you wish to be resurrected again, you will need to repay your debts with merits.

Tang Ping paused, his tone softening slightly, and then said, "Of course, as a junior member of the Tang Family, you also have a shortcut to earn a lot of resources: join the Tang Family's mission sequence and carry out the trial missions assigned to junior members."

For example, Liu Long, who died for you during your previous trials, Shou Qi, who covered your retreat, and Wang Lan, who loved you passionately but ultimately left you for a better life, were all actually members of my Tang Family's mission sequence."

"On the surface, it seems like you always narrowly escape death, but in reality, the highest mortality rate in my Tang Family's trials is no more than 10%. As long as you have self-awareness, ambition, a normal mindset, and can endure the time, most of you can pass smoothly."

Ah?

Tang Feifei stood there, stunned, with only one thought in her mind.

This is outrageous!
