"They are my parents," Su Chen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the room fell silent. Everyone was stunned for a long time, while Su Youyou looked completely bewildered.
"You... you mean, you are the child of our ancestor?" Su Jing's voice trembled. He thought of Su Chen, who also had the surname Su, and at this moment, his heart pounded even harder.
"Mm." Su Chen nodded.
"But the genealogy records that the children of those two ancestors are already dead, aren't they?" Su Jing was shocked, but still had doubts and questions.
"You don't need to worry about those things. Just remember that I am also your ancestor. I came back to Earth this time to see if the descendants of my Su Household are still alive," Su Chen said.
"The younger generation of the Su Household pays respects to the ancestor!" Su Jing knelt down and kowtowed again. He did not doubt Su Chen's words, because he guessed that Su Chen did not actually die back then, but entered the path of immortality, became a god, left the mortal world, and eventually became an extremely powerful being, powerful enough to soar through the universe.
The reason he's returned to Earth now is probably because he misses his homeland. Secondly, a powerful immortal like Su Chen has no reason to deceive mortals like them, unless Su Chen is too idle.
The surrounding crowd, recovering from their shock, quickly followed suit and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Ancestor!"
Su Chen stared at Su Jing and smiled, "I'm very pleased that you've brought the Su Household to where it is today."
"I was just lucky to have caught the wave of the times," Su Jing said modestly.
"Yes, I believe that under your leadership, the Su Household will only get better and better in the future." Su Chen nodded and said, then looked at Su Youyou, who was staring blankly, and smiled, "Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"
"Huh?" Su Youyou snapped out of her daze, her face full of embarrassment. "N-nothing... I'm just shocked. I don't even know whether to call you Ancestor or Master now."
"Let's call you Master. I like that title," Su Chen said.
"Yes, Master!" Su Youyou smiled. She was truly shocked today. She never dreamed that Su Chen would be her ancestor. No wonder Su Chen accepted her as a disciple. It turned out that he did it because she was a member of the Su Household, not because he was interested in her cultivation talent. Everything made sense now.
Su Chen then looked at Su Yuan and Wu Ya.
"Greetings, Ancestor!" Su Yuan and Wu Ya's expressions changed slightly, and they quickly bowed.
Su Chen chuckled, "It's quite impressive that the two of you were able to break through to the Xiantian Realm from this place with its sparse Spiritual Qi."
"What!" Upon hearing this, everyone except Su Jing was shocked, looking at Su Yuan and Wu Ya, "You... you've also entered the path of immortality?"
Su Yuan and Wu Ya exchanged a glance, realizing they couldn't hide it any longer, and could only nod and admit, "Yes, we were lucky back then; we were guided by an immortal, and thus entered the path of immortality."
Su Yu and Su Hanlin fell silent. At this moment, they realized how naive they had been to even dream of competing with Su Yuan for the assets. If Su Yuan and Wu Ya had truly intended to compete, they would have long since lost their chance.
Moreover, judging from Su Jing's expression, it seems that he already knew that the two of them had entered the path of immortality. It is estimated that Su Jing had already chosen the heir to his assets a long time ago.
"We've lost," Su Yu and Su Hanlin said with wry smiles.
"Actually, Wu Ya and I have stopped vying for assets since we entered the path of immortality," Su Yuan said.
Everyone fell silent. Yes, once one enters the path of immortality, who would still want to remain in this mortal world? In the eyes of immortals, perhaps only longevity and becoming stronger are what matters most. This was everyone's thought.
"Father, Mother, you even kept this from me!" Su Youyou said angrily.
"Didn't you also keep it a secret from your parents?" Su Yuan said with a smile.
"I..." Su Youyou wanted to refute, but couldn't think of a reason to do so.
"The world of immortals is not as wonderful as you imagine; it is full of dangers. The reason your parents and I didn't tell you is because we were afraid of getting you involved in the conflicts among immortals and putting you in danger," Wu Ya explained patiently.
"Your mother is right. Although I didn't enter the path of immortality before, I know that the world of immortals is extremely cruel, where human life is as worthless as grass, and people can kill at will," Su Jing said at this moment.
"Okay... alright," Su Youyou said helplessly.
Su Chen then raised his hand and waved, and two streams of light merged into the space between Su Yuan and Wu Ya's eyebrows respectively. Instantly, some memories that did not belong to them appeared in their minds, and they understood everything that they had not understood in their cultivation before.
The next moment, a powerful energy surge suddenly erupted from their bodies. They had broken through, and not just one breakthrough after another, but a direct breakthrough to the Origin Core Realm!
"What I'm giving you is some understanding of cultivation and some Cultivation Method. From now on, just follow them. The cultivation methods I'm teaching you will lead to great achievements in the future," Su Chen explained with a smile.
"Thank you, Ancestor!" Su Yuan and Wu Ya snapped out of their daze and immediately knelt down to pay their respects, their expressions filled with excitement. They never dared to dream that they could break through to the Origin Core Realm so easily. Under normal circumstances, it would have taken them decades to reach this level!
Furthermore, the Cultivation Method Su Chen gave them was far too profound, completely on a different level from the Cultivation Method they had learned before. At this moment, they were incredibly excited and filled with even greater awe for Su Chen.
Su Yu and Su Hanlin looked at the two with complicated feelings. From this day forward, they would be completely from two different worlds from Su Yuan and Wu Ya. Cultivating immortality was great; not only could one possess great strength, but one could also have a lifespan that mortals dared not even dream of. At this moment, the Human Heart even had the idea of cultivating immortality.
"Ancestor, I also want to cultivate immortality!" Su Yu gritted her teeth and knelt down decisively.
"I want to too!" Su Hanlin hesitated for a moment, then knelt down as well.
Now, the two of them are no longer thinking about fighting over assets, but about cultivating immortality!
Su Chen glanced at them, then looked at Su Yuan and Wu Ya, "I allow you to teach them what I just taught you. Of course, whether you teach them or not is your business; I won't force you."
Su Chen remembered how Su Yu's family and Su Hanlin's family bullied Su Youyou today. Although he didn't say anything during the day, he remembered it all. Bullying his disciple, Su Chen, and then wanting him to help her cultivate immortality—they certainly had a dream.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu and Su Hanlin felt a pang of disappointment. Their gazes instinctively drifted to Su Yuan and Wu Ya. They hadn't held out much hope, after all, they had a history of conflict with them, so why would they expect them to help them cultivate?
Su Yuan and Wu Ya hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "If you two brothers wish to cultivate immortality, my wife and I are willing to help you enter the path of immortality."
