All living beings said that the heavenly household knew no kinship and Saints knew no affection, yet Yuanshi's care for Nine Li and Tongtian's care for Yinglong... they truly had poured every ounce of painstaking thought into their disciples.
Originally, Yuanshi had wanted to support Nine Li in becoming the Human Emperor, but Nuwa had blocked that path on the grounds that a Saint could not serve as the Human Emperor's Teacher, or their karmic ties would be difficult to sever. Later, he had wanted to help Chi You become the Human Emperor, making Nine Li the Human Emperor's brother, but that plan had also failed because of Nuwa.
Even so, Yuanshi still wanted to do everything in his power to win Nine Li a good future.
If he could not become the Human Emperor or the Human Emperor's brother, then he could become one of the Five Emperors. Like Zhiming and Ao Yue, he could reincarnate a divided soul into the Human Race and still gain the protection of the protagonist's fortune.
Below him, Nine Li was deeply moved by Yuanshi's words.
Over the years since he had taken Yuanshi as his master, Yuanshi had not only taught him everything without reserve, imparted the Jade Purity Mysteries to him, and bestowed numerous magical treasures upon him, but had also planned for his sake at every turn. In all the hundreds of thousands of years of his life, Yuanshi had shown him even greater love than his parents had!
At that thought, Nine Li forcefully held back the tears welling in his eyes. With a thud, he dropped to his knees and kowtowed to Yuanshi. "Thank you, Master. Your disciple will follow all your arrangements!"
"Mm!" Yuanshi nodded, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Then his expression turned serious.
