Chapter 708: Breaking Through to Supreme God King: The

Having healed the Silver Dragon King, Feihuang had finished everything he needed to do on the Douluo Continent.

In his final days, he spent his time cultivating and enjoying life, accompanying his three wives in romance and leisure, and watching over his four children as they grew up healthy.

Thus, another twelve years passed.

On this day, Feihuang sensed that the defensive array he had laid down at the beginning of his ascension to godhood was finally beginning to loosen.

It seemed he had somewhat overestimated these God Kings of the God Realm; he had originally thought they would break the array in ten God Realm days, but he hadn't expected it to take fifteen days to show results.

Feihuang had a premonition that the array would last at most another half a God Realm day before dissipating completely, which translated to half a year in the human world.

Feihuang did not intend to reinforce it; in any case, he felt it was about time, for as early as two years ago, he had already completed his breakthrough and officially become a Supreme God King.

Perhaps it was because his realm was higher, but when he broke through this layer, there was none of the magnificent, awe-inspiring display that occurred when he broke through to Title Douluo; instead, right in his bedroom, accompanied by his beloved Qian Renxue, he sat in meditation to refine his Qi, and then understatedly completed the breakthrough.

There wasn't even a single sign from heaven and earth, leading Qian Renxue to complain that such a breakthrough was far too lacking in prestige.

Feihuang, however, did not care at all; the breakthrough was about his own strength increasing, so why make it known to everyone? Besides, to ordinary people, was there any difference between a Third-Class God and a Supreme God King? Both were equally high and unreachable.

Perhaps this phenomenon of inner brilliance and returning to simplicity was actually a higher realm.

Feihuang decided that before ascending to the God Realm, he would first complete the abdication.

Yes, he was actually the emperor now, the second emperor of the Gu Lei Dynasty; Nan Tianchen had shoved the throne into his hands several years ago.

Back then, after the God War, his mother Lan Xue had another breakthrough in her realm; after ten years of bitter cultivation, she finally grasped the Law of Absolute Zero from the Extreme Cold Ice Soul, and her realm soared directly to the peak of the Ninety-nine Level Quasi-God realm. All she lacked was soul power, but with the help of a God King like Feihuang, increasing soul power was as simple as eating and drinking, and he soon raised her soul power to the Ninety-nine Level as well.

At that time, Lan Xue was only one step away from becoming a god, but she fell into a bottleneck.

Lan Xue understood that if she stayed in the imperial palace and worked behind closed doors, she would never be able to become a god on her own, so she decided to head to the coldest place on the Douluo Continent, the Extreme North, to venture out.

Nan Tianchen could not bear to part with his beloved wife, and since the country was peaceful at that time with all policies implemented, no foreign enemies, and no internal strife, he simply retired after his success, threw the throne to Nan Feihuang, and accompanied his beloved wife to live in the Extreme North.

He still remembered that day when this unscrupulous father suddenly sought out Feihuang and gently said to him, "My son, it has been cold lately, so Father has made you a new set of clothes. Why don't you try them on to see if they fit?"

Feihuang hadn't thought much of it at the time, but who knew the "clothes" he spoke of were actually a dragon robe.

And then, he had the yellow robe thrust upon him.

Feihuang truly did not want this throne and had wanted to hand it directly to his son Nan Fengrui, but Nan Fengrui was only in the single digits in age at the time, so he had no choice but to accept it temporarily.

However, Nan Fengrui was now fifteen years old, and Feihuang felt it was time.

With the help of Xun Yu, after finishing the recent government affairs, Feihuang walked out of the Imperial Study and was met by his three wives, Qian Renxue, Lv Lingqi, and Xue Ke, walking toward him.

Because of the battle before he became emperor, where Qian Renxue had slightly bested Lv Lingqi with her advantage as a God King, they had agreed that whoever was stronger would be the primary wife. Therefore, the current Empress of the Gu Lei Dynasty was Qian Renxue, while Xue Ke and Lingqi were Concubines.

In truth, this was a bit unfair to Xue Ke, as she could never defeat Qian Renxue and Lv Lingqi no matter what.

But there was no help for it; she could never have become Empress anyway, because in that great war of gods, the world knew it was Qian Renxue and Lv Lingqi who defeated the Rakshasa God and the Asura God who attempted to destroy the Gu Lei Dynasty.

Although Xue Ke was the former Empress of the Heaven Dou Empire, how could her status be mentioned in the same breath as true gods? If she were placed above Qian Renxue and Lv Lingqi, many people would actually be dissatisfied.

Xue Ke, however, did not mind; she let Qian Renxue and Lv Lingqi fight over the position of Empress, while she only focused on raising her precious son well, as the entire Gu Lei Dynasty would belong to her son in the future.

At that time, no one would be able to stand above her son.

Alas, the ideal was plump, but reality was skeletal.

It was true that the throne would be her son's in the future, but to say that no one could stand above her son was far too one-sided.

Feihuang brought his beloved wives to the Donggongtaizifu; this used to be where Nan Feihuang lived, but now it belonged to Nan Fengrui.

He should have been the boss here, but as the four of them entered, they only saw this fellow kneeling on the ground, looking quite useless. Beside him, a boy and a girl were also kneeling; the girl was about his age, and the boy was a little younger than him—they were his younger brother Xue Feng and younger sister Nan Fengyue.

At this moment, this dignified Crown Prince of a nation, an Imperial Prince, and a Princess were actually obediently kneeling in a row. Of course, they were not kneeling to a person; in front of them were the Nan Family ancestral teachings written by Feihuang after he became a god.

Not to mention that Nan Fengrui, who had the highest status here, was only the Crown Prince; even if he became the Emperor in the future, he would still have to kneel before these teachings when he made a mistake and needed to be disciplined, otherwise, it would be a sign of disrespect to Feihuang.

"What is going on here? Were Rui'er and the others scolded by Xiao Qian again? And she even made them kneel before the family ancestral teachings I wrote to admit their mistakes?" Feihuang asked curiously.

His four children had completely different personalities.

The eldest son was focused on by Xue Ke and carefully taught by Xun Yu; his personality was benevolent and generous, and he was well-versed in government affairs. His only shortcoming was that because he had never experienced a real battle, his nature was a bit soft, lacking the domineering aura of a future emperor. Fortunately, it was a peaceful era now, so it didn't matter if he lacked that aura.

The eldest daughter, Nan Fengyue, had been showered with thousands of favors since she was young; she was mischievous and naughty, almost becoming another little demoness like Ning Rongrong. Fortunately, someone pulled her back to the right path at a critical moment. She was now mischievous but not malicious; she knew how to respect others, and even when playing pranks, she would not intentionally damage someone's dignity, let alone hurt them. Instead, she easily made people laugh heartily, and they only found her lively and cute, leaving them helpless.

The second son, Xue Feng—Xue Ke was not as strict with him as she was with Nan Fengrui; whether it was learning knowledge or practicing soul power, it was enough as long as he reached a decent level. His personality was honest and kind, and he lived without pressure, making him the happiest one, and he had even become a cute little chubby boy.

The last and youngest daughter, Nan Fengzhi, was completely different from the three mentioned above. From a young age, her personality was very serious; she upheld the style of the royal family, kept her heart upright, and carried out the name of justice as a descendant of the Angels. Even though she was the youngest, whenever she was present, she was the big sister among the four. The one who pulled Nan Fengyue back from being a little demoness was this youngest sister.

"Sister, how many times have I told you? A girl must have self-respect and self-love, and as a Princess, one must be a role model for the subjects. You actually took the Second Brother to sing karaoke and didn't return all night; what kind of decorum is this?"

"Sister knows she was wrong, but singing karaoke isn't a bad thing. It's a Spirit Tool invented by our father, meant for the entertainment of the common people." Nan Fengyue felt very aggrieved; she had only sung songs for one night.

"Is entertainment meant for you to be entertained all night and make your family worry?" Xiao Qian said angrily. "I will mention this to Father later and have him issue a decree that such places are not allowed to operate after midnight. As a Princess, to be addicted to such a place where people drown in dissipation every day—what kind of decorum is this?"

"And you!" Xiao Qian shifted her target, staring at Xue Feng. "Second Brother, I have told you many times that the Nan Family rules are: first, do not enter places of pleasure; second, do not enter gambling dens; third, do not associate with villains; fourth, do not betray your teachers or ancestors; and fifth, do not harm the common people. You actually gambled with wine in a nightclub. Don't forget, although you have the surname Xue, your nickname is Xiao Nan, and you are still a member of the Nan Family. I think it's been too long since you've tasted the family law, hasn't it?"

"Little Sister, I was drinking rice wine, and it was even watered down," the little chubby boy said with a bitter face.

"That doesn't matter either. Father said, 'Do not neglect a small evil just because it is small.' If you indulge yourself a little bit today, you might cause a bigger disaster tomorrow."

"Um... Little Sister, I think this matter has nothing to do with me. How about I leave first?" Nan Fengrui stood up and asked tentatively. He had slept obediently in his room last night and hadn't gone out to fool around.

"Who told you to stand up? Kneel properly for me." Xiao Qian shouted angrily.

Nan Fengrui immediately and obediently knelt back down before the ancestral teachings.

Only then did Xiao Qian earnestly say, "Eldest Brother, you are the eldest brother of the family, the Crown Prince of a nation, and the future successor to the throne. You have the obligation to properly discipline your younger brothers and sisters who have made mistakes, yet you didn't even know they stayed out all night. If you can't even manage your own younger brothers and sisters, how will you manage the entire world in the future? Father has placed high hopes on you; is this how you repay him?"

Listening to Nan Fengzhi scolding the three of them inside the room, leaving the three older siblings speechless.

The parents outside could only laugh helplessly.

Xue Ke gave a bitter smile; how could it be that she had three children, yet the three of them combined couldn't compare to the one Qian Renxue had given birth to? She had originally thought that when Nan Fengrui became emperor, he would be above ten thousand people, but now it seemed that no matter how much he was above ten thousand people in the future, he would always be below that one person.

Qian Renxue, on the other hand, smiled triumphantly and patted Xue Ke on the shoulder. "Ke'er, this is bloodline suppression. In the past, I disciplined you, and now my treasure is disciplining your children. You can't escape it in this life, so you might as well accept your fate."

Feihuang smiled; he felt that such a scene was actually quite good.

He had originally been worried that if he abdicated now, Nan Fengrui wouldn't be able to manage the country well. His ability in handling government affairs was no longer a problem, but after all, his nature was too soft, and Feihuang was worried he lacked sufficient majesty.

But if he had Xiao Qian to complement him, everything seemed to be fine.

Xiao Qian's personality was serious, earnest, strong, brave, and intolerant of evil; paired with Rui'er's benevolence and generosity, she could be a very good assistant and supervisor for him, with Yue'er's liveliness and Xiao Nan's honesty to mediate in between.

"Hehe, a good combination of siblings. Issue the decree: abdication tomorrow!" Thinking of this, Feihuang immediately returned to the Imperial Study to draft the decree and announce it to the world.

He had never had much interest in being emperor, and after being one for so many years, he was already sick of it.

How could handling government affairs be more interesting than fighting?

He wanted to fight his way up to the God Realm, resolve his final worries, and then enjoy Life with his wives.
