Forge a Super Physique? No, I Refuse!

Ye Tian spoke inwardly, telling the system to turn off its notification sounds so they would not disturb him.

As for upgrading the tenfold return mode, there was no rush. The system could take its time.

Still, Ye Tian never turned away anything that came his way. He casually had the system store the Phoenix Bracer and the five Divine Spirit Pendants it had just returned to him in system space.

As for the Green Pearl Bracer and the other gifts, he certainly could not waste them either. After all, they were tokens of his Older Cousin's affection, and they would make perfectly good toys later.

Ye Tian happily accepted the Green Pearl Bracer and the Divine Spirit Pendant. Seeing this, Ye Xinxin's face lit up, her gentle smile lovely and charming.

As long as her little cousin liked them, her trip had not been in vain.

But then she seemed to think of something. Her brows suddenly knitted, as though she were wrestling with some worry.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Ye Tian, unsure how to broach the subject.

After a long while, she sighed, her breath fragrant as orchids.

Ye Tian naturally noticed the change in his Older Cousin and grew curious.

After all... who was his Older Cousin? A legend of Myriad Heavens Commerce, the president of the Heavenly Treasure Commerce, and the owner of untold wealth.

With a casual wave of her hand, she could take her pick of any resource in the heavens. Yet even she could sigh with worry.

That truly was a rare sight, something one hardly ever saw.

After all, Ye Xinxin only acted like a gentle older sister in front of him.

At the Heavenly Treasure Commerce and out in the wider world, she was always decisive and uncompromising, a formidable woman of business.

"Big Sister~ What are you thinking about?"

Ye Tian looked concerned, a faint, soothing smile on his little face. His babyish voice was utterly adorable.

Ye Xinxin smiled softly, warmth filling her heart.

She reached out a delicate hand and touched the spot where Ye Tian's dantian spirit sea lay. Golden light shot from her eyes, sharp as a blade.

As though she had reached a decision, she spoke to Ye Tian.

"Little Brother, I've found a way to free you from your mortal physique and give you a Super Physique."

"Oh... what is it?"

Ye Tian feigned curiosity, though inwardly he felt little anticipation.

Wasn't it better to lie back and live in comfort? With a special physique, I'd have to show off in front of everyone. No thanks.

But he could hardly reject his Older Cousin's kindness outright.

After all, one's physique was innate. Changing it was no different from defying heaven and rewriting fate.

The difficulty was easy to imagine—harder than ascending to heaven.

"The price is enormous. You'll need to prepare yourself, Little Brother."

Ye Xinxin looked at the still-tender Ye Tian before her. She had not wanted to tell him, but whatever the rights and wrongs of it, the decision had to be his.

"Hehe, tell me, Big Sister. This baby is very brave!"

"To defy heaven, rewrite your fate, and obtain a Super Physique, we'll need blood from the hearts of both your parents to activate the God Emperor bloodline hidden within you!"

"Then I'll gather countless young geniuses from the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, refine them as sacrifices, merge their physiques, and extract their divine physique origins."

"After that, I'll use a Primordial Secret Art to force those origins into your body and fuse them with your God Emperor bloodline. Then you'll awaken one of the strongest, most supreme physiques in all history. You might even awaken an acquired chaos physique."

"But during that process, you'll also have to endure the agony of having your flesh pulverized and your bones shattered!"

Every word Ye Xinxin spoke carried weight. She told him everything at once, concealing nothing.

He was her cousin, and the final decision still lay with him, the God Emperor, the mistress of the household, and the others.

As for her, everything she had done to reach this point had been for her adorable little cousin.

"Ah, Big Sister, how could you be so cruel?"

After hearing his Older Cousin's words, Ye Tian recoiled two steps in fright and nearly fell.

He was only a one-year-old child. Such a reaction was perfectly normal upon hearing something like this.

Any other child would probably have gone deathly pale with fear.

Of course... that excluded those prodigy children with exceptionally mature minds.

Ye Tian himself felt somewhat horrified inwardly.

Such conduct truly deserved to be called stopping at nothing.

Forging a Super Physique would require his parents' heart's blood essence and the lives of countless young prodigies from the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.

If he did that, how would he be any different from those Dark Beings?

Besides, those young prodigies were rising stars. In the future, they would become the pillars and backbone of the Eternal Immortal Domain.

To refine them as sacrifices for his sake was simply not worth it.

Moreover, he had always intended to be a salted fish, living comfortably without striving. There was no need to make such enormous sacrifices for a salted fish like him.

Thinking this, Ye Tian shook his head, openly showing that he did not approve.

It was not that he was some saint. He simply could not bring himself to slaughter innocent lives so wantonly.

"Big Sister, isn't that a little too cruel?"

Ye Tian spoke to Ye Xinxin in his babyish voice, unwilling to accept it, his adorable big eyes glistening.

"As the saying goes, one general's triumph leaves ten thousand bones bleaching in its wake. Your physique is worth far more than the lives of those ordinary people."

"Little Brother, you are the God Emperor's son. There will always be a mountain weighing on your shoulders."

"Without a Super Physique, how will you enter the gates of cultivation? How will you begin your own cultivation journey?"

"Without a Super Physique, even if you can cultivate, you'll never become a truly peerless genius!"

Ye Xinxin held Ye Tian by the shoulders. Her phoenix eyes brimmed with expectation, their glasslike depths reflecting his tiny figure.

She hoped Ye Tian would agree. If he did, the God Emperor and the mistress would not hesitate to give their heart's blood essence for their child.

But... it would take the two of them tens of thousands of years at the very least to recover.

"Big Sister, a true prodigy needs no special physique to suppress ten thousand ages and become the supreme ruler of an era."

His eyes were bright. His baby teeth had barely come in, and his enunciation was still unclear, but his words struck the ground with ringing force.

At that moment, Ye Tian no longer seemed like a child, but a prodigy revealing his edge.

Ye Xinxin even felt as though she were hallucinating. Then she came back to her senses, utterly rejecting what Ye Tian had said.

She even laughed aloud. Stroking Ye Tian's cheek, she said with a smile, "You're still just a little child, after all. Even the things you say are so childish. You really are adorably silly."

Even Huang Ruoxi and Su Qinglian beside them found it unreal, their gazes growing ever more indulgent as they looked at Ye Tian.

As the Saintess of the Rainbow Garment Great Church and the bearer of a pure yin dao body, Su Qinglian had experienced far too much.

Naturally, she knew just how childish Ye Tian's words had been—laughable, even.

An ordinary cultivator's lifetime of struggle might not equal a single month of cultivation for someone with a Super Physique.

Only those with a Super Physique had the right to contend for supremacy over heaven and earth.

Without a Super Physique, one would ultimately accomplish nothing.

Reality was that cruel, and it left no room for argument.

Ye Tian did not think Ye Xinxin was wrong. The strong reigned supreme—that was the only law of this world.

He had no interest in cultivation. But if obtaining a Super Physique meant exchanging the lives of countless prodigies and his parents' blood essence for it, he could never cross that threshold in his heart, even if he obtained it.

Besides, even in the worst case, he still had the system. There was no need to pay such a devastating price.

Then he raised his head, his voice childish yet firm. "Big Sister, I'll prove that I can cultivate without a Super Physique—and leave those peerless geniuses far behind!"
