This time, let's compare something interesting. As everyone knew, every powerhouse had one thing they could never escape: descendants. Today, let's take a look at the descendants of our various protagonists. This time, however, it would be presented in the form of a video.

[Douluo I Spacetime: Tang San's son, Tang Long.]

Douluo I Spacetime

Tang San looked at his son's name without feeling particularly surprised. After all, ever since losing Xiao Wu, he had not actually held much interest in women. Even this wife had been arranged by the sect.

Since it was his parents' command and the matchmaker's word, and both his uncle and father hoped he would marry and have children, he could not defy his father's wishes. Thus, he married a gifted young woman from the sect's younger generation.

"Sure enough, he only inherited the Clear Sky Hammer."

Tang San was not at all surprised by his future son's Martial Soul. Through the comparisons that had gradually appeared over the past few years, he had come to understand that his Twin Martial Souls came from his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.

At the time, his mother had existed in a superposition between life and death, so by bloodline, he had been judged to be the new Blue Silver Emperor. That was why he could possess Twin Martial Souls alongside the Clear Sky Hammer.

But now that he had rescued his mother, and he himself was the Blue Silver Emperor, there were now two Blue Silver Emperors on the Douluo Continent. It was perfectly normal for his son to possess only the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

"Dad, do you think Brother Feng might have forgotten about us?"

Ning Rongrong had not seen Xu Feng for a long time. Every time she privately messaged him, it took him ages to reply.

"Rongrong, he isn't that carefree crown prince anymore. As the emperor of an empire, he has many things to handle."

Ning Fengzhi was actually worried as well. After becoming emperor, Xu Feng would need to continue the royal bloodline, and he would certainly do so in his own era. Those of them from ten thousand years ago would find it difficult to take part.

"It'll be fine, Rongrong. Didn't Brother Feng say that once he set up that cabinet thing, he'd have much more free time?"

Xiao Wu had also asked when he would come to see them. His answer had been that once the cabinet was established, he would have much more free time and could come over to play.

Douluo II Spacetime

As the video from the Douluo I Spacetime ended, it quickly moved on to the next spacetime. Everyone in the Sun Moon Empire immediately perked up, because this was the future crown prince.

He might even be the future crown prince of the Celestial Court. Since they could no longer secure a marriage alliance through His Majesty, investing in the future crown prince would not be a bad idea either.

Yet what happened next left everyone stunned in place, including Xu Feng and Meng Hongchen.

[Xu Feng and Meng Hongchen's first child, their legitimate eldest son, the deposed crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Chengye.]

The legitimate eldest son born to the empress would normally be the crown prince destined to inherit the throne. Yet those final words left everyone dumbfounded. Deposed crown prince—this meant Xu Feng had personally stripped his legitimate eldest son, his firstborn, of his title.

"Damn, what exactly did our future crown prince do?"

"His Majesty has a pretty good temperament, doesn't he?"

"And Her Majesty is so gentle. With the Heavenly Empress herself, there's no way she could have raised her child badly."

"What happened in the future?"

Xu Feng could not believe that his future self had actually deposed his own son. And the name Chengye clearly showed that he had intended for him to inherit the family legacy. Perhaps the future Celestial Court could not be passed down to him, but the Sun Moon Empire would certainly be his. What had his son done to be deposed?

As the Skyscreen began to play, everyone saw Xu Feng, already appearing middle-aged. By then, he had long since become the Celestial Emperor. He maintained the appearance of a middle-aged man only because that was when he looked the most imposing.

Kneeling beneath him was his son, Xu Chengye. Anyone could tell from the scene before them that something major had happened. Xu Feng was already extraordinarily furious with this son of his.

"Bring it here!"

Xu Feng held out his hand toward the side. The eunuch standing nearby had guessed what His Majesty wanted, but in such circumstances, he could not take the initiative to hand it over.

"What does Your Majesty want?"

"A riding whip!"

After taking the riding whip, Xu Feng lashed it directly across his back. "You good-for-nothing! This world will be yours sooner or later! Are you really so unable to wait?!"

Yet at that moment, Chengye suddenly turned around. The whip landed directly across his face, leaving an extremely obvious bloody welt. Xu Feng instinctively wanted to heal it, but when he thought of what Chengye had done, he forcibly restrained himself.

"Your Majesty uses a riding whip! Is this family law or state law? If it is family law, is Your Majesty punishing me on Mother's behalf?!"

"You still have the nerve to mention your mother!"

"I was raised on Mother's milk. Why can't I mention her? Father Emperor, everyone in this world worships you, and your son is no exception. But there is one stain you can never wash away: you killed your elder brother!"

Chengye directly brought up the subject that everyone had subconsciously avoided: Xu Tianran. No matter how awful Xu Tianran had been, he was still Xu Feng's older brother.

Though the royal family had no affection since ancient times, such matters were generally handled by subordinates. Yet Xu Tianran's actions back then had forced Xu Feng to kill him personally. And now, that buried thunder had finally exploded.

"You want to depose me and let someone else become crown prince!"

"Chengye!"

"Please address me as Crown Prince!"

Faced with his son's furious shout, Xu Feng fell silent as never before. At that moment, he was not the omnipotent Celestial Emperor, but more like an old father.

"What exactly do you want?"

"What does Your Majesty want to do?"

"Chengye, don't force me..."

"I'm forcing you? You have no idea what the relationship between us brothers is like! Every one of my younger brothers watches this head of mine every day! Every single one wants to kill me! Aren't you asking why I rebelled?! They want to become the Xu Feng of that year! But I don't want to become the Xu Tianran of that year!"

By the time Xu Chengye said this, he was openly crying. How badly he wanted to return to childhood, when the brothers had lived harmoniously instead of scheming against one another as they did now.

He did not want to rebel either, but he had sons too. He wanted to live as well. All his brothers wanted to kill him. Every one of them wanted him dead. If he did not do this, he would be killed sooner or later.

Xu Feng painfully closed his eyes. He had given his love to every child, but he had forgotten the most important point.

This could never be done within the royal family. The crown prince had to be the crown prince, and the crown prince had to be distinguished from the other princes. Yet his affection had not become the key to brotherly harmony. Instead, it had become the fuse that ignited their struggle.
