The Sea

Beside the tall old man holding a fishing rod were a gentle and serene, stunningly beautiful young girl and a tall, heroic woman with short hair.

Beside Jiang Yuu.

The young man Jinuo Caide heard the tall old man's call, and his face visibly brightened with joy.

He abandoned his two chosen big customers and went to the tall old man's side, laughing loudly.

"Grandpa, you've arrived. I've prepared your Star of the Sea for you."

He pointed to a large, light blue tin box at the entrance of the shop.

"This thousand pounds of the Star of the Sea you received is a premium product imported from the underwater city of Xinuoli in the Deep Sea Kingdom. It's their latest research and development; just one drop releases an irresistible aroma and guarantees you'll catch something amazing!"

"You've put in the effort, kid."

The tall old man's eyes visibly lit up when he saw it.

At this moment, Jinuo Caide turned his gaze to the serene girl behind the tall old man and smiled nonchalantly.

"Miss Xi'er, it's been a long time since we've seen you here. Are you here to go fishing with the old man again?"

The serene young woman smiled gently. She knew what these young people were thinking; she had encountered this kind of thing many times when she was in Paradise Mountain.

She doesn't care as long as it doesn't offend anyone.

Unless betrayed, have the gods in heaven ever cared about the affections of mortals?

"Jinuo Caide, not this time. I'm here to see my parents."

"Parents?"

Just as Jinuo Caide was lost in thought...

The serene young woman approached Jiang Yuu and Annatania directly and bowed politely.

"Father, Mother."

When she uttered those two words, the valiant woman who had been following the girl was immediately startled and incredulous, and was about to kneel down instinctively.

But the tall old man quickly stopped him, chuckling.

"Little girl, now, we are all just mortals."

Not far away.

Jiang Yuu first glanced at the tall old man who was examining the box of fish bait as if it were a treasure, and then looked at the graceful young girl in front of her with a smile.

"My hope..."

"Father, my name is Xi'er now."

The serene young woman emphasized.

"Alright, my daughter. I heard from Anna that you've been traveling the Astral Realm all these years, never stopping."

Jiang Yuu said with a smile.

"Father, as you know, I represent peace. Wherever I go, there is always more tranquility than before. That's why I want to travel throughout the Astral Realm, bringing my peace to every world."

The serene young woman tilted her head back and chuckled softly.

"I see."

Jiang Yuu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded.

"You did a great job, my daughter."

"Over the years, I have neglected to take care of you. Do you have any complaints?"

No, Father.

The serene girl shook her head.

"Without you sheltering us from the wind and rain, we wouldn't have achieved what we have today."

"Father, we understand you!"

"Of course, our mothers' meticulous guidance was also an important part of our growth."

The serene young woman spoke with a touch of playfulness.

Annatania smiled slightly and hugged her petite and adorable daughter in her arms.

"You've learned to say nice things, my daughter."

The family was enjoying a happy time together.

At this moment.

Jinuo Caide then realized what was happening.

"So you two are related to Miss Xi'er's family. Then, you and Grandpa Jiang are also..."

"Haha, that's right, little guy."

Jiang Yuu laughed heartily, walked over to him, and patted him on the shoulder.

You're lucky.

Then, He looked at the tall old man who was taking out some fish bait and smelling it, and smiled helplessly.

"Father, how long do you and Mother plan to stay in this world this time?"

The tall old man raised his head, spread his hands, and sighed.

"Ah You, you know, the decision on this isn't up to me."

Jiang Yuu: "... That's true."

At this moment.

Annatania also came over and obediently called out, "Father."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang nodded, visibly pleased.

"Ah You, Anna, what brings you here?"

"Father, there are some things I still don't understand. Anna said that instead of sitting still, we should go out for a walk; maybe we can find a solution."

Jiang Yuu said.

"Anna is right, Ah You."

"You've married a good wife, kid."

"That's true."

The father and son exchanged a smile.

"Come on, since you're here, come back with me and let your mom cook you something nice."

"It must have been many years since you've had a meal cooked by your mother."

"Especially you, my son, you probably haven't eaten for many years."

"Yes, Father."

Jiang Yuu smiled.

As the group set off, Jiang's father made sure to greet the young man Jinuo Caide, before leaving.

After walking halfway along the wide road in the seaside city, Mr. Jiang smiled and said.

"That little guy named Jinuo Caide is actually quite nice."

"Looks like he's about to get lucky."

Jiang Yuu responded with a smile.

"I have principles too. If he really wants to win my favor, he'll have to work hard; it's not possible now."

Father Jiang shook his head.

"However, if you can meet my expectations before I leave, I will leave a gift."

"Father, you are the only one who can be called the Grandfather of All Heavens."

"When you get old, you just want to find something to do."

"Also, your father's judgment is spot on; otherwise, how could I have raised a son like you?"

"That's true."

Jiang Yuu.

"So, my dear son, when you go back later, talk to your mother about staying here for a few more years."

"Testing a person takes time."

Jiang Yuu: "..."

"If you want to fish for a few more years, why don't you just tell your mother?"

"She won't allow it."

The old man sighed repeatedly.

That evening.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed.

Jiang Yuu, along with his wife and daughter, had another meal with his parents.

They settled down nearby.

Decades later.

Jiang Yuu moved a deck chair to the beach and sat down, gazing at the vast ocean.

The golden sand reflected the warm sunlight, and the laughter of children echoed behind him.

He was still pondering the path to Star Saint for his subordinates.

Ancient times.

The birth of Star Saint requires a long period of time and the mastery of two suitable Astral Realm Rules.

The essence of the Star Saint Realm is the sublimation of self-transcendence by the Dual-Rule Sovereign amidst the entanglement and collision of two rules.

In the past, before Jiang Yuu rose to prominence.

This transcendence requires genuine cultivation; both rules must be fully mastered by them in order to comprehend a portion of the essence of the Astral Realm, transcend the dimensions of the Astral Realm, and become a transcendent being above the dimensions of the Astral Realm.

A complete grasp of the rules is helpful; while some aspects might be lost upon reaching the Star Saint level, they are indispensable in the process of breaking through to Star Saint status.

Just like the two existing Star Saint.

The Blazing Heaven Divine Throne of Paradise Mountain do not lack cultivation.

Rather, it is the Sovereign of time and rules.

They are merely users of the rules; how could they possibly follow the same path of advancement trodden by the nine Star Saint?

Furthermore, even if Jiang Yuu temporarily releases the Rule Stars to help them understand the essence, they don't have that much time to hone their skills.

But what will happen in 100,000 years when a great war breaks out?
