Stars shift and constellations change; time flies by.

Countless mortal beings are born, grow old, and perish, passing through a hundred years in a hurry. A few exceptionally talented individuals become the ancestors who protect their clans, but they may perish due to an accident and ultimately cause their families to disappear.

One after another, the imprints of civilizations were born, settled, and vanished in the long river of the Primal Universe.

Nearly five Great Emperor eras have passed in a certain world.

Earth, Human Calendar, Year 97000.

In the warm spring of March, all things come back to life.

Above the Solar System, the Azure Divine Sea, which had been silent for fifty thousand years, finally began to ripple clearly.

After 50,000 years of natural expansion, the diameter of this vast and boundless divine sea has increased by several million kilometers. However, compared to its original size of more than one light-year, this change is negligible.

After a long time, deep within the core of the Nether Sea, in the Platinum Temple that had been silent for ten thousand years, suddenly there was a dazzling flow of energy. Streams of Divine Power, refined to the extreme, gathered from all directions, and the figure of a handsome young man dressed in black appeared.

It was Tang Ping, who had been in seclusion for 50,000 years.

He lazily sat back on the Golden Throne.

The hall was empty and desolate, completely deserted.

After announcing his seclusion last time, he temporarily suspended the beauty pageant in the Milky Way Galaxy and also asked the maids serving in the palace to leave for the time being.

Over the past fifty thousand years, he has devoted himself to comprehending the laws, tempering his will, and refining his secret techniques. With his extraordinary talent, his strength has finally achieved a qualitative leap.

Panel:

[Realm: Universe Master] (99%)

[Willpower: Fifth Order of the Universe Master] (99%)

[Laws: Time Law (100%), Space Law (100%), Wind Laws (100%), Thunder Laws (100%)]

[Secret Technique: Sword Twenty-Three (Universe Master, Tier 5)]

[Lifespan: 94893/∞]

[Divine Power Path: (9888/10081)]

[God Kingdom: 200 billion kilometers]

[Nether Sea Clone: 1.1 light-years]

Looking at the terrifying data on the panel, Tang Ping was filled with pride.

"Damn it, that old bastard, the Void True Demon God, really scared me to death last time he attacked!"

Even without a high-level Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, that old thing in the Primal Universe would at most only make him pause for a moment.

The Earth's original divine body alone is a million kilometers in size. Even if it stood still and let him attack it, it would take a great deal of effort to break through its defenses.

It's safe!

"Who in the entire Primal Universe can kill me?!"

Even if one ventures into the Universe Ocean, under normal circumstances, one can ensure their safety. However, this is only "normal circumstances." If one truly encounters a desperate situation, danger will still lurk at hand.

Thinking of this, his face fell again.

"Sigh, when will I ever get to enjoy life properly? I just want to live a peaceful, uneventful life, why is that so hard?"

Shaking his head, Tang Ping connected to the Virtual Universe with a thought and began to examine the major and minor events that had occurred in the universe over the past 50,000 years.

With his powerful will as a fifth-level Universe Master, the astonishingly massive amount of information was processed in just a short time.

Complete.

The first one is Luo Feng.

Although this kid was only an Immortal, he was incredibly popular in the Ancestral God Secret Realm. He even went to the Yan God Secret Realm for a while, which attracted the siege of Alien Race Venerable, but he managed to escape successfully.

Secondly, there were his three wives.

As expected, the three of them successfully broke through to the Immortal Realm within 50,000 years.

Among them, Luo Xiaoyu is now living in seclusion on Earth as a teacher; Huo Wu has returned to the Fire Fox Clan to manage clan affairs; Feng Yaya has gone to the Wind-Thunder Secret Realm to help him find a young, beautiful, and distinctive Elf concubine.

Since their lifespans are already infinite after breaking through to immortality, there's no need for them to rush to reunite.

Of course, he had already asked Little Love to mail each of the three a protective sword aura to ensure their safety.

Next came the Tang Family's descendants.

Today, only tens of thousands of direct descendants of the Tang Family are registered. In addition, hundreds of thousands of Tang descendants have been relegated to collateral branches and can only make a living by receiving welfare. Furthermore, hundreds of millions of Tang descendants have been directly removed from the family genealogy due to failing the assessment.

All of this stems from the Tang Family's current parenting assessment strategy: every Tang descendant must automatically participate in a first-level test of character and morality from birth. Only by passing the test can they obtain first-level membership and unlock subsequent cultivation assessments.

With each level of assessment, the apparent difficulty of the tasks increases as the level rises, eventually becoming a life-or-death situation. Many clever members of the Tang family chose to give up and voluntarily accept welfare benefits.

Even if they are on welfare, Little Love will accurately estimate their speed of advancement based on their talents, potential, and the resources they receive.

Each cultivation level, such as the Star Rank, is assessed every ten years, and the Universe Level is assessed every hundred years. If one fails the assessment three times in a row, one will be demoted to a collateral branch, and one's basic living allowance will be further reduced.

There will be three more opportunities to retake the exam!

If they still fail to pass the test, they will be completely removed from the Down syndrome training program.

There is another rule: children of both direct and collateral branches have the opportunity to participate in the Tang Clan's ranking assessments, but grandchildren are no longer eligible. Unless a particular descendant demonstrates exceptional talent, such as reaching the Star Rank Level or obtaining the Giant Axe Dojo title, etc.

This is what is meant by "the blessings of a virtuous person last only three generations."

This not only prevents family members from Sit and Reap and becoming complacent, but also helps to select truly talented and virtuous successors, ensuring that the Tang Family's heritage can be passed down for generations.

Of course, character and moral assessment is a routine review and evaluation process.

Regardless of rank, anyone who commits a serious offense will be immediately expelled from the Tang family genealogy! All assessment qualifications, membership status, and welfare benefits will be revoked, with zero tolerance.

It is precisely because of these rigorous assessments that the direct descendants of the Tang family, even after tens of thousands of years of development, number only tens of thousands, but each one is an elite among elites.

Among them were even several powerful experts at the Peak World Lord Rank.

Meanwhile, Tang An and his two other descendants, who had already transcended immortality, remained high above, guiding their descendants to strive for excellence.

Tang Ping didn't take these things to heart.

For him, it was enough that his three children were still alive and well. As for the rise and fall of the family and the growth and success of the younger generation, they were of little concern to him.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; if I don't have children and grandchildren, I'll enjoy my own happiness!

Tang Ping then turned his attention to the situation of his good friend Liu Hui's family.

Fortunately, Liu Hui comprehended the Earth Origin Law in the Initial Universe and broke through to immortality; however, his wife was less fortunate, as she was captured by the Soul Hall after leaving the Initial Universe.

Left with no other choice, Liu Hui could only join the Soul Hall to serve while taking care of his wife and daughter. The family continued to live a life of misery and helplessness.

Moreover, Liu Hui has never given up trying to find out about him over the years. But everything in the Soul Hall comes at a price, and the price required to find his whereabouts is extremely high.

Liu Hui is desperately trying to make money in the Soul Hall!

It is said that his greatest wish is to raise enough money to rescue his good brother.

Tang Ping smiled as he read the message coming from the Virtual Universe.

Good brothers, for life!

When Liu Hui has raised enough money and comes looking for her, she will suddenly appear and give him a big surprise.

Earth.

Tang Ping, dressed in a long black robe embroidered with dark Golden Dragon, strolled leisurely down the long street.

In the space age, appearances can be easily reshaped by technology, but one's inherent temperament is difficult to fake. His refined, clean, and untainted aura stood out among the crowds, and Alien Race would often approach him to strike up a conversation.

Tang Ping was kind and honest by nature, and he couldn't bring himself to refuse such enthusiastic advances directly, so he put on Han Li's alias and added a lot of Virtual Universe friends.

Before long, a series of straightforward video messages and generous red envelopes began to arrive.

This is the kind of treatment that makes you incredibly handsome!

He glanced at the messages briefly and then blocked all the senders. What ugly bastards!

After finishing his chores, he looked up and gazed at his home planet.

Tens of thousands of years ago, this place was scattered with buildings of various Alien Race, some rugged like meteorites from outer space, others bizarre like clusters of stars in a sea of stars, all with strange and wonderful styles.

Today, the buildings are mostly ornately decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and upturned eaves. Vermilion pillars are entwined with gilded patterns, and Long Yu bells hang from the eaves of the green tiles. When the wind blows, the clear and melodious sound of the bells drifts through the long street, lingering and lingering.

Everywhere along the street, you can see ingeniously crafted landscapes, with stacked stones forming mountains, springs diverted to form streams, and pines and bamboos providing shade, all in a well-balanced manner.

The entire planet was immersed in a misty, ethereal atmosphere.

Above ground, majestic palaces stretch endlessly, their glazed tiles bathed in the sunlight, reflecting a rainbow of colors. Floating islands hang in the clear sky, their bodies shrouded in spiritual mist. Pavilions and towers are built according to the terrain, and jade flowers and trees bloom everywhere, all enveloped in celestial energy.

What's even more amazing are the Alien Race creatures that have settled here.

They come in all shapes and sizes, some with human bodies and animal heads, covered in scales and feathers, others with bodies as smooth and lustrous as glass, but they all have one thing in common:

Their cultivation levels are all above the Domain Lord level.

These powerful figures who once dominated their regions are now mostly dressed in ancient Huaxia clothing: the quju of the Han dynasty, the ruqun of the Tang dynasty, and the shenyi of the Qin dynasty.

The jackets and skirts of Cloud Brocade Ming Dynasty were made of materials such as brocade or silk gauze, embroidered with patterns of phoenixes singing in harmony and pine trees and cranes symbolizing longevity.

A jade belt cinches her waist, from which jade pendants hang, their tinkling softly as she walks.

Although it looked somewhat incongruous, these powerful Alien Race beings were all very proud of it.

On this planet, the four seasons are distinct and ever-present: spring brings blooming flowers across the mountains, summer offers lush shade and gentle breezes, autumn is fragrant with red maples and osmanthus, and winter is adorned with snow-covered branches. Creatures of all kinds come and go, some brewing tea by the stream, some gazing into the distance from the railing, some playing chess under the pine trees, and some chatting idly in the courtyard, without any strife or clamor.

Is this a legend come to life, or has Earth itself transformed into the legendary paradise on earth?

After admiring the scenery for a moment, Tang Ping turned around and landed in front of Maotanchang Elementary School.

This is where his wife, Luo Xiaoyu, works.

"Ring ring~"

As the school bell rang, a figure in plain white slowly walked out. The woman was dressed in a simple and elegant Hanfu, with a cool and indifferent temperament, attracting the attention of passersby, but no one dared to approach and disturb her.

She was the renowned head teacher of this elementary school, with over 20,000 years of teaching experience and countless outstanding students under her tutelage. Her own cultivation was unfathomable. Even the most unruly and rebellious students had been brought under her thumb.

"Wife~"

A figure stepped forward and gently embraced her.

An uproar ensued.

Director Luo, who is usually as cold as Iceberg, actually has a man?

Luo Xiaoyu was startled at first, but after seeing who it was, her eyes lit up with joy. "Honey, you're finally out of seclusion!"

Tang Ping nodded, looked around, then gently took his wife's wrist, and the two disappeared without a trace.

The onlookers paled once again.

Now that the Solar System has undergone multiple reinforcements and is suppressed by the Nether Sea, even Venerable cannot Teleportation! Just what level of cultivation does this person possess?

It's terrifying to think about!

Sun Temple.

After a long separation, they were reunited. One looked on with eager anticipation, while the other longed for them deeply. They immediately poured out their love, exchanging words and writings in a torrent of retribution.

Three days later, Luo Xiaoyu nestled in Tang Ping, her eyes sparkling with spring.

Tang Ping took a sip of the spirit wine and smiled.

"Honey, you seemed really unhappy before. Who upset you? I'll go and get them!"

With his current level of spiritual attainment, even ordinary, immortal emotional fluctuations cannot escape his perception.

Luo Xiaoyu frowned slightly and said helplessly.

"It's all because of those students."

Tang Ping raised an eyebrow. "Is it because you're playful and hate studying, or do you think there's too little homework?"

"They never lack coursework, but they have absolutely no interest in learning," Luo Xiaoyu sighed.

"Because of you and Patriarch Luo Feng, the genes of the Earth Human Race are now highly sought after by all races in the universe. Many children are being pre-arranged for marriage by major races at high prices while they are still in school. Both men and women are involved, and all of them are doing so voluntarily."

"You only need to go to a large clan; you don't need to worry about anything else, just focus on having offspring."

"What's the point of those kids trying then? When I lecture them, they argue back defiantly, saying, 'We'll take care of them anyway, why should we bother trying?'"

Even worse, some bring Earth's outdated marriage customs to extraterrestrial civilizations. They demand titles and status before marriage, inflate dowries, and extort gifts. Some even go so far as to bring their children into marriage and mistreat their partners. All these behaviors have caused Earth's reputation to plummet.

Tang Ping pondered upon hearing this, then looked puzzled.

"Those Alien Race aren't from Earth, nor are they in the Milky Way Galaxy. Didn't they get attacked for doing this?"

Luo Xiaoyu said matter-of-factly, "They were dealt with terribly, and some even cried out for the Luo Family's protection in the Virtual Universe. The Luo Family initially took it quite seriously, but after investigating their absurd behavior, they directly expelled these people from Earth."

Tang Ping was speechless for a long time, only uttering one word:
