Descendants

In the magnificent great hall, Su Heng and Su Luo sat at the high seats, looking down at the two people below.

"Greetings, two old ancestors," Su Yu and Su Zhuo said in unison as they bowed.

"Congratulations, Ancestor Su Heng, on successfully breaking through to the Immortal realm!" After bowing, Su Yu excitedly congratulated Su Heng.

Without the guidance of this ancestor during the thirty years in the Initial Universe, he would not have been able to make such great progress.

Not to mention the promotion secret realms that followed.

"Mm, you're not bad either. Reaching your current status in just ten thousand years is impressive. Cultivate diligently; there are many opportunities in the outer territories," Su Heng said with a smile, nodding before offering a piece of advice.

As a former core member of the Virtual Universe Company, he naturally understood the general process of being dispatched to a Universe Kingdom.

"Yes, Ancestor," Su Yu replied respectfully.

Afterward, Su Yu explained his purpose for visiting to the two of them.

Su Heng had no particular plans regarding this. With his current strength and status, even the three ministers stationed in the Noah Universe Kingdom by the Virtual Universe Company would not dare to underestimate him. The kind of bullying that other core members of outer Universe Kingdoms experienced would absolutely not happen to Su Yu.

It was Su Luo, however, who was very concerned about this talented descendant. After all, becoming a genius in the core layer of the Virtual Universe meant a high chance of becoming an Immortal in the future, provided they didn't perish amidst the many dangers along the way.

After the conversation, Su Heng gave the two some pointers. Then, after bidding farewell to Su Luo, he left the divine hall.

Whoosh.

Above a vast technological city, Su Heng's figure suddenly appeared. After sensing the aura, he flew towards a manor in the center of the city.

The manor spanned over a thousand kilometers. Su Heng sensed the presence of hundreds of thousands of people just by their auras. However, only a few dozen felt familiar to him.

The manor was protected by an energy barrier. But before Su Heng, this barrier was as if it didn't exist; he flew into the manor without the slightest obstruction.

In a certain six-story building within the manor, four figures were seated in the main hall.

"Little sister, it's been tens of thousands of years. Your aura has become even stronger! It feels like you're close to breaking through to the Immortal realm!" said a middle-aged man in armor with a stern expression to the beautiful woman beside him with a smile.

"Brother is joking. It's just a slight breakthrough from cultivating the secret technique Father gave me. As for breaking through to the Immortal realm..." the beautiful woman said with a wry smile. Breaking through to the Immortal realm—even a genius like Father had been stuck there for millions of years.

"Hey, hey, let's not talk about that. Father finally broke through to the Immortal realm and gathered us here. It's not to make you sad," a handsome young man beside them interjected.

"Third brother is right. Father summoned us here not to discuss these matters," the last middle-aged man nodded slightly.

"Haha, you're right. Now that Father has finally broken through to the Immortal realm, we should be happier," the stern man chuckled, changing the subject.

They were all descendants nurtured by Su Heng during his Universe level and Domain Lord stages. Their ages were only tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand years younger than Su Heng. Although they were all World Lords, they were also nearing the end of their lifespans.

"Sigh." A sigh echoed in the center of the hall. The four stopped talking and looked joyfully at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

"Father!" the beautiful woman called out first, then rushed to embrace the figure. The other three, though not as excited as the woman, also showed smiles and softly called out "Father."

"Xiao Yun," Su Heng, who had appeared in the center of the hall, gently stroked the woman hugging him. His eyes, however, fell upon a tiny figure. It was a small, cute girl. Back then, she was very mischievous. Millions of years had passed, and the little girl had grown up. Su Heng felt a touch of emotion.

Over these millions of years, his interactions with his children hadn't been very frequent, especially after their mother passed away. Su Heng had focused his attention on cultivation, always staying with Mother Ancestor or at the Virtual Universe Company. Most of his meetings and exchanges with his children happened in the virtual universe.

"Alright, Xiao Yun, go sit with your brothers. I have some things to discuss next," Su Heng said gently, patting his daughter's head.

"Mm," Su Yun nodded vigorously, then composed herself and sat down with her three brothers.

"Xiao An, what is the current extent of your understanding of the laws?" Su Heng asked his eldest son, putting away some of his sadness. He had not gathered his children together this time simply to celebrate his breakthrough to the Immortal realm.

"Replying to Father, my understanding of the Law of Lightning has reached nearly ninety percent," Su An quickly answered when asked.

Ninety percent comprehension... that's normal. After all, my eldest son is only a little over sixty thousand years younger than me. With such a long period, even normal accumulation would be around this level. Thinking this inwardly, Su Heng didn't say much and continued to ask the remaining three, "What about your comprehension of the laws?"

"Nine-tenths comprehension of the Law of Wood."

"Nine-tenths comprehension of the Law of Metal."

"Nine-tenths comprehension of the Law of Water."

All were at ninety percent, meaning their comprehension of the laws had all been stuck at the final bottleneck.

After some thought, Su Heng said to them.

"Hand over your powers and responsibilities to your successors as soon as possible, and then prepare to go to the Initial Universe. I will do my best to arrange for Immortals who comprehend corresponding laws to guide you.

As for whether you can ultimately break through to become an Immortal, that will depend on yourselves."

Gaining entry to the Initial Universe was relatively easy. With his current status, it wouldn't be difficult to provide some assets in exchange for four spots.

What was difficult was finding Immortals who comprehended the corresponding laws.

If he wanted to increase their chances of breaking through, he couldn't just find ordinary Immortal Military Lords; they would need to be taught by at least Marquis-level Immortals.

However, these four were Su Heng's own children, and he couldn't bear to watch them perish when their lifespans ran out like this.

"Thank you, Father!" the four said, their faces filled with joy.

The Initial Universe and Immortal guidance—with so many favorable conditions, it was much easier than trying to break through on their own!

"Alright, relax now. Let's talk about family matters," Su Heng said with a slight smile, sitting down in front of the four.

Ever since he broke through to become an Immortal, he had sensed a growing distance between them, to varying degrees. This might be due to the breakthrough, but it also had something to do with his own actions.

This conversation lasted for several months.

Writing about descendants is also for a later plot point, but the author doesn't have children yet, so it might come across as stiff.
