He Is the Invincible God-Child Who Swept Across Everything a Million Years Ago!

Seeing how sincere the three of them were, Chen Changqing did not refuse. He nodded slightly. "Since you've all decided, follow me from now on."

The three were overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Ancestor!"

No one understood the value of a Divine Ability Method better than they did.

So, in their hearts, neither the position of Holy Son nor cultivation resources could compare to staying by Chen Changqing's side.

Only by following Chen Changqing would they have a chance to reach a higher and farther realm!

Afterward.

The three wore delighted expressions as they voluntarily stepped behind Chen Changqing and stood with their hands lowered.

Their posture and expressions were precisely those of followers.

The Chen Family clansmen present watched this scene with mixed feelings.

They regretted that three top-tier prodigies had given up the position of Holy Son, yet they also felt a faint envy. To follow an eternal monster like Ancestor Changqing—what an immense stroke of fortune was that?

But since the three parties involved had already made their choices, no amount of sentiment from others could change anything.

The Chen Family's Sequence Ranking Battle had thus settled into the dust.

According to the Chen Family's ancestral rules, if someone gave up the position of Holy Son, the prodigies ranked below them would fill the vacancies in order.

Very quickly, the new three Holy Sons were selected.

In the present age, these people could also be considered exceptionally gifted.

Yet when they stepped onto the viewing platform to receive their titles, there was not the slightest trace of the high spirits they ought to have had. Instead, each wore a strange expression, their eyes filled with indescribably complicated emotions.

Of course. Who wouldn't feel awkward in their place?

To put it bluntly, this position of Holy Son was something others had not wanted.

And everyone knew that from this day onward, the Chen Family's true peak fighting strength of this generation would still be those three who had willingly cast aside the title of Holy Son and silently stood behind Ancestor Changqing.

With the title but not the substance, being a Holy Son truly left a strange taste in one's mouth.

However.

One of the newly appointed Holy Sons was quite open-minded. After receiving his title, he smiled freely and said softly to the other two beside him, "It's only a title. Why dwell on it? Being able to hear Ancestor expound the Dao even once is already a tremendous blessing."

"We only need to cultivate diligently. We may not be unable to catch up to those three fellows."

The other two nodded one after another, and the unwillingness in their eyes gradually turned into resolve.

Patriarch Chen Lingfeng took in the reactions of these younger descendants, secretly nodding in approval, yet he could not help sighing.

Naturally, he was not worried about the matter of the Holy Son positions.

What worried him was that now that Chen Yuanba and the other two had become followers, according to the ancestral rules, they could no longer receive resource treatment at the Holy Son level.

Yet these three were also the most outstanding seedlings of the Chen Family's generation. If a lack of resources delayed their cultivation, it would be an immense loss to the entire Chen Family.

The more Chen Lingfeng thought about it, the more his head hurt. Unable to resist, he walked over to Ancestor Chen Haotian and complained in a low voice, "Ancestor, Yuanba and the other two... as for the allocation of resources from now on..."

Unexpectedly—

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Haotian waved his hand, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Rest assured. Your worries are completely unnecessary."

Chen Haotian patted Chen Lingfeng's shoulder, his tone leisurely. "Those three juniors will only have more resources by Changqing's side. They will not suffer any loss."

Chen Lingfeng froze. "But the clan rules..."

"Clan rules?" Chen Haotian sneered, his gaze drifting toward the distant figure in azure robes. "Do you know that a million years ago, the followers by Changqing's side received far more resources than those Sequence Holy Sons?"

Chen Lingfeng was stunned.

"Those resources were not provided by the Chen Family."

Chen Haotian stood with his hands behind his back, his voice carrying both reminiscence and emotion. "Changqing led them through secret realms, battled prodigies, explored ruins... and fought for them, fist by fist and step by step."

"That brat was only thirteen back then, yet he dared to lead a group of followers deep into the Savage Forbidden Land to fight ancient bloodline creatures."

"When they returned, every one of them was covered in storage rings. They even found walking too burdensome."

At this point, Chen Haotian paused, turned to Chen Lingfeng, and smiled meaningfully. "He was the invincible Divine Son who swept aside all before him a million years ago."

"A million years later, he is even more heaven-defying than he was then."

"Do you think he would lack resources?"

Chen Lingfeng opened his mouth, but for a moment, he could not say a word.

That was right. How had he forgotten this?

What kind of person was Ancestor Changqing?

He was a heaven-defying existence who could frighten back a Saint King merely by opening his eyes and allow a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert to live another life with a casual point of his finger.

What secret realm under heaven or ancient ruin through the ages could he not enter?

Following someone like him, how could resources possibly be compared to the mere position of Holy Son?

"You must understand... with Changqing's talent."

Chen Haotian added, "Many people do not even possess the qualifications to become Changqing's followers. These three little fellows are very fortunate."

Chen Lingfeng's entire body trembled. He immediately bowed. "Thank you for your instruction, Ancestor. Lingfeng was far too muddleheaded."

Chen Haotian nodded slightly and said no more.

A moment later.

Ancestor Chen Haotian seemed to suddenly recall something. His gaze sharpened slightly as he looked at Chen Lingfeng and asked, "By the way, Changqing's parents are still sealed within the Divine Source, correct?"

Chen Lingfeng immediately answered solemnly, "Reporting to Ancestor, everything remains intact!"

Upon hearing this, a rare trace of relief appeared on Chen Haotian's usually placid face, as though a massive stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

Back then, he had pushed aside all opposition and endured pressure from the entire Chen Family to give the Divine Source to Chen Changqing's parents... Even looking back on it a million years later, it remained one of the riskiest, yet most correct, decisions he had ever made.

Divine Source was rare. Even within the Longevity Imperial Clan, it was an incomparably precious strategic resource.

Logically speaking, Chen Changqing's parents' cultivation and talent were nowhere near sufficient to qualify them to use Divine Source.

Yet Chen Haotian had done it anyway.

For no other reason than to ensure that when that astonishingly talented boy awakened a million years later, he would still have someone to hold dear.

Fortunately... fortunately, I made the right gamble back then.

Chen Haotian thought to himself. Then he raised his head, his gaze passing through the crowd and settling on that figure in azure robes.

"Changqing."

The ancestor's voice was soft, yet the entire Purple Sun Peak instantly fell silent.

Chen Changqing turned around and met the ancestor's gaze.

"Come with me and see your parents."

Chen Changqing froze.

See his parents?

Could it be...

He suddenly looked toward Chen Haotian. Even ripples of emotion could not help rising in those usually placid eyes.

Chen Haotian said nothing more. He merely nodded with a smile, then turned and headed toward the depths of a mountain range.

Chen Changqing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging emotions in his heart before stepping forward to follow him.

Chen Yuanba and the other two exchanged glances, then silently followed behind.

After passing through layers upon layers of ancient restrictions, Chen Haotian's group arrived at the Chen Family cemetery and stopped before a tomb.

Immediately afterward.

Chen Haotian directly waved his hand and opened the tomb. Unlike the other tombs, there was no coffin within—only two crystalline Divine Sources.

A man and a woman were sealed separately within the Divine Sources.
