"Roar~"

Suddenly, a large tiger appeared in front of her. Yi Huang was initially stunned, but then she realized its true identity, smiled kindly, and affectionately patted the tiger's head.

"Has Xiao Hu grown up?"

Xiao Han removed the shackles from his daughter's body. Through the Blood Contract within her, the Little Tiger naturally received a corresponding reward, not only breaking through the cultivation barrier but also growing back to its original size.

But all of this was a completely unexpected joy for the Little Tiger who knew nothing about it. When he woke up, he found that he had been completely transformed. After confirming that it was not a dream, he immediately went to his "mother" to report the good news.

Then, a change occurred.

After being lovingly stroked and pampered, the tiger's eyes fell on the swaddled baby in Yi Huang's arms. It immediately pounced on Yi Huang, only to be pulled back by the scruff of its neck by Xiao Han, who was watching closely.

"What's wrong with the little one?"

Noticing the tiger's unusually agitated state, Yi Huang was puzzled.

"Would you like to see Mu Er?"

Following the tiger's gaze, Yi Huang spotted its target and moved the child in front of it.

Ten minutes later.

"Something's not right!"

Something is definitely not right!

With complicated expressions, both Xiao Han and Yi Huang felt a strange sense of unease as they watched the large tiger carrying their daughter on its head and back, its movements both joyful and cautious, as if it had found a beloved toy.

Such attentiveness was something even Yi Huang, the mother who raised the Little Tiger from a cub, had never seen before.

"Could this truly be a preordained destiny?!"

Xiao Han was unsure. Could it be that these two really knew each other in their past lives?

Or perhaps his daughter stumbled upon a rare occurrence that is said to be Great Thousand World?

The world is so big, there will always be one or two strange legends, such as some people who, even if they have never met before, can become fast friends at first sight. This is possible between people of any race.

But Xiao Han had never witnessed it firsthand. Whether in the Fierce Qi Continent or the Great Thousand World, when strangers meet, the instant connection in public often means stabbing each other in the back. Where is true affection in the world? Only tricks win people's hearts. Those who are so honest as to believe in instant connection are probably buried so many times that the grass on their graves could circle the Great Thousand World.

"Oh, by the way, you said this little guy can't talk yet?"

Suddenly, Xiao Han asked curiously.

"That's right."

Speaking of which, Yi Huang was also full of doubts. Normal Fifth Order Magical Beast could be no different from ordinary people in terms of intelligence, and Sixth Order beasts could even speak human language. Although the Little Tiger was mentally normal, it had never been able to speak normally. Even when the Demon Beast Emperor Zhu Kun came in person, he could not find anything wrong with it.

"When I travel to the Great Thousand World, I will seek guidance from some senior figures."

Xiao Han wasn't much better than a novice in this regard, but there are many talented people in this Great Thousand World, so how could he not solve the problem?

"The Great Thousand World? Is that all the place you've been living in all these years?"

"That's right."

Xiao Han nodded. Only then did he have the opportunity to tell Yi Huang about his experiences over the years and give a general overview of the basic situation of the Great Thousand World.

"You've had a pretty exciting life these past few years."

"It's alright," Xiao Han said casually, even sounding somewhat regretful.

"I've been so busy cultivating and fighting those filthy, Extraterrestrial Evil race that I haven't even had a chance to properly explore the Great Thousand World."

"Oh? So, if it weren't for the danger facing the Fierce Qi Continent, you wouldn't have planned to come back?"

Yi Huang's tone was slightly playful.

"More or less."

The oblivious Xiao Han failed to notice the change in the former's tone, and instead spoke consistently:

"I thought that with the power of the Fierce Qi Continent, I would be more than capable of ascending to the Great Thousand World..."

"Did we disappoint you because we didn't get there in time?"

Only then did Xiao Han notice the oppressive atmosphere behind him. The tiger, who was exceptionally perceptive to danger, had already secretly slipped away with the child, leaving Xiao Han alone to face Yi Huang's wrath.

"Oh no, I misspoke, I misspoke, I misspoke..."

After several hours of fierce fighting, from the flickering light of day to the rising moon,

"You stinky man, you deserve to be taught a lesson. Will you dare do it again?"

With her clothes slightly disheveled and a languid expression, Yi Huang spoke with a touch of coquettish charm and feigned anger.

"No, no!"

Xiao Han stood to the side, smiling respectfully.

"What are your plans now that you're back? When are you leaving?"

Yi Huang learned that Langya Heavenly Palace was located on the border between the Great Thousand World and the Extraterrestrial Evil race, a place fraught with danger. With the loss of two of its strongest members, the sect's power had been greatly weakened, and it was clear that she could not stay there for long.

"If it were before, I might have invited several Dou Di from the Fierce Qi Continent and a group of powerful figures to the Great Thousand World."

"But now..."

Xiao Han dared not have the slightest thought. The Extraterrestrial Evil race had only just left. What if they returned with a vengeance and he took away another of the continent's top experts...

He didn't want to become a sinner in the Fierce Qi Continent!

"Actually, the best way is for Xiao Yan to directly connect the Fierce Qi Continent to the Great Thousand World, completely severing the thoughts of the Extraterrestrial Evil race."

"But this method is too slow. Even constructing a spatial passage would take several years, which would be a waste of his talent."

Finally, Xiao Han shook his head helplessly.

Ultimately, it's because there are too few truly strong individuals.

"Does Senior mean that the Fierce Qi Continent only needs top-tier combatants like us to quell the ambitions of the Extraterrestrial Evil race?"

On the other side, Xiao Yan and the others were also discussing with Ice Emperor about going to the Great Thousand World. A wider world, more powerful people, and the hope of further advancement—how could they not be longing for it?

However, the harsh reality stifled the enthusiasm of these powerful individuals. As long as the threat from the Extraterrestrial Evil race remained, they could not leave without any worries.

To be precise, no one else matters except you.

Ice Emperor stared at Xiao Yan with an unwavering gaze and said calmly.

"I?"

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, it's you."

Ice Emperor reiterated its affirmation.

"Everyone else can leave, but you alone, as the Plane Master of the Fierce Qi Continent, are the only ones who have the ability to guide the entire continent to the Great Thousand World, thus eliminating the crisis of the Extraterrestrial Evil race once and for all. And only you are capable of fighting against the top Demon Emperor of the Extraterrestrial Evil race and holding out until reinforcements arrive."

"No one else will do."

Xiao Yan fell silent, lowering his head and saying nothing more.

"What? Are you very unwilling? Do you regret becoming the Plane Master?"

"After all, with your talent, you would have reached this point sooner or later if you had gone to the Great Thousand World, but now you are forced to stay in one place."

Ice Emperor's tone was playful, and Xiao Xuan and the others were not having an easy time either. If these seniors had been more capable, they wouldn't have had to push these difficult problems onto a junior who was less than a fraction of their age.

Xiao Yan's expression was complicated as he slowly shook his head.

"Since I've done it, I certainly won't regret it. In that situation, not doing it might have been a lifelong regret."

If Xiao Yan hadn't decisively chosen to become the Plane Master, the Fierce Qi Continent probably wouldn't exist today.

So, do you want to travel to the Great Thousand World?

Ice Emperor suddenly asked.

"Of course I want to."

Xiao Yan nodded, captivated by the wonders of the Great Thousand World, then his face filled with regret.

"But..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ice Emperor interrupted him.

"In that case, you may go."

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then shook his head and forced a smile.

"No, I'll go eventually. It'll just be a bit of a wait..."

"If I say it's okay, then it's okay," Ice Emperor interrupted again, his face expressionless.

"But senior isn't..."

Xiao Yan was speaking when his gaze was drawn to a cold glint from the Ice Emperor's fingertip, and his heart began to pound involuntarily.

The cold light wasn't powerful, but it coincided with a certain power within Xiao Yan's body. Surprised, Xiao Yan looked at Ice Emperor, opened his mouth, and didn't know where to begin.

"I've already said it, I'm your senior."

Ice Emperor stood up and casually patted Xiao Yan's shoulder. A whisper reached the latter's ear.

"From any perspective."
