At the thought of this, Le Zhengyue sighed.

Earlier, he had gone straight to his grandfather and followed him to meet Yu Xiaogang, without bringing up the Spirit Pagoda.

Now he had to speak with his grandfather again, and explain why he had arranged for that cheap older brother of his to become Yu Xiaogang's disciple. He would have to explain all of it.

Although Yue Zhengen had agreed to his suggestion without hesitation, he still needed to make the whole matter clear to his grandfather.

Of course, Le Zhengyue did have some concerns. Had this era truly lasted only thirty thousand years?

On the surface, it seemed there had only been thirty thousand years, but anyone who knew about this era of the Douluo Continent understood that there was actually a fourth era beyond those three.

And while the first three eras had all seen conflicts on Douluo Planet, the fourth era was the most terrifying of all.

Whether it was the fearsome combat strength comparable to a First-Level God, the so-called biological battleships, or that true Little Dragon God, those were the things Le Zhengyue feared most.

Unlike the others, including himself, who could only inherit godhood and become gods after reaching the ninth ring, that Little Dragon God had already attained god-level strength at just six rings. By the time he reached nine rings, he was even stronger than a First-Level God.

Le Zhengyue couldn't possibly forget something so far beyond the limits of humanity.

Even now, he wasn't sure whether that fourth era existed in this world.

After all, whether it was the Gu Raising System or the other systems, they only said there were three protagonists on Douluo Planet. But that didn't mean there wasn't a fourth protagonist beyond Douluo Planet.

That was what made Le Zhengyue most wary—and what kept him from ever feeling at ease.

If he focused on the exact wording, the answers from the systems were all perfectly accurate. But the abilities or restrictions of every system seemed to be confined to Douluo Planet. That was what made Le Zhengyue most wary.

But there was no use dwelling on any of that right now. Whether or not there was a fourth protagonist, whether or not this era of thirty thousand years truly ended with his own time, the most important things for him right now were to strike at the three protagonists and strengthen himself.

The most important principle was to have enough strength. As long as he was strong enough, he could find a way to deal with any difficulty he faced.

With that thought, Le Zhengyue didn't linger. He opened the door and went straight to his grandfather's study.

Though only one night had passed, Yue Zhengen's expression didn't change at all when he saw his grandson again.

He watched his grandson with interest, ready to wait for the little rascal to explain himself.

"Heh, Grandpa."

"Explain yourself. Why did you push that Yu Xiaogang fellow onto your big brother? You know perfectly well he's no good, yet you still sent him to your big brother and made him his disciple."

Yue Zhengen's voice was solemn, but there was no real displeasure in his tone, nor any particularly complicated emotion.

Meeting his grandfather's gaze, Le Zhengyue had already prepared his explanation.

He certainly couldn't tell Yue Zhengen that he wanted to kill Yue Zhengyu. No matter how open-minded his grandfather was or how much he favored him, he would never accept the two brothers turning against each other.

"I'm not setting my brother up, Grandpa. This so-called Grandmaster of Martial Soul Theory's knowledge is useless, but he has a powerful aura of luck about him."

"That luck might not help him much personally, but it should give his disciples a considerable boost."

Le Zhengyue looked at Yue Zhengen. What he'd said was complete nonsense, but there was still some truth mixed in.

After all, Tang San had become a god, hadn't he? It didn't matter whether the luck belonged to Tang San or Yu Xiaogang. Tang San had become a god, and that was more than enough.

Watching his youngest grandson spout nonsense, Yue Zhengen almost laughed in exasperation.

He was just about to start scolding him when he saw his grandson looking at him with complete seriousness.

As a Limit Douluo, he couldn't sense whether someone was lying, but he could perceive a person's state of mind to some degree.

And with his own years of experience, he was quite good at judging people.

So there was a rare note of confusion in his gaze. Yue Zhengen had realized that his youngest grandson was serious.

There was nothing off about his tone. He seemed to truly believe what he was saying, which left Yue Zhengen hesitating in turn.

He didn't know much about the matter himself, and knew even less about this so-called Yu Xiaogang, this so-called Grandmaster. The whole time, he'd only been hearing his grandson's side of the story.

"Are you sure you're not joking with me? This Yu Xiaogang really has an immense aura of luck about him?"

There was a trace of uncertainty in Yue Zhengen's voice, but Le Zhengyue only blinked.

"Grandpa, there's something you might not know. I heard from this Grandmaster that he once had a disciple named Tang San. You've heard of Tang San, haven't you?"

As he spoke, Le Zhengyue didn't hesitate to plop down in the chair beside him. He picked up a teacup and poured himself some tea.

Seeing his grandson's rather disrespectful behavior, Yue Zhengen's eyes suddenly froze.

Others might not know of Sea God Tang San, since he was a figure from twenty thousand years ago. But the true upper echelons of the Federation had preserved part of the history of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, so Tang San wasn't a stranger to them.

And with Shrek Academy still standing, no one could be unfamiliar with its founder, Sea God Tang San.

As far as Yue Zhengen knew, during the period when the three continents had appeared at the same time, Shrek's Seven Devils here had searched the First Continent for Sea God Tang San, in addition to contacting the Shrek Seven Devils of the Second Continent.

However, because Qian Daoliu's power had reached the god level, he had blocked the Third Continent from infiltrating the First Continent. As a result, Shrek Academy and the Federation had never managed to find Tang San—or, rather, they couldn't confirm whether someone like Tang San had ever existed.

Now that he'd heard this Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher, Yue Zhengen's eyes flickered faintly.

He looked at his grandson in confusion. First he'd called Yu Xiaogang a useless nobody, then a fraud, and now he was saying the man was lucky. For a moment, Yue Zhengen couldn't judge whether his grandson was telling the truth.

But meeting the earnest look in his eyes, Yue Zhengen shook his head.

There was no point thinking about it now. Whether it helped or not, letting his eldest grandson give it a try shouldn't matter much.

For better or worse, the man was only a useless nobody with the strength of three or four rings. He couldn't affect much.

"Fine, you little rascal. I'll let you off the hook this time. Now, tell me why you came here. Don't tell me you came just to explain this, or to visit this old man."

As he spoke, Yue Zhengen looked at Le Zhengyue. He understood his youngest grandson's motives all too well.

His grandson truly never came calling without a reason. Unless something had happened and he couldn't handle it himself, or he needed to ask for help, there was no way he'd come over.
