Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

The dual divine pressure from the dome had yet to fully dissipate when the intangible force had already withdrawn, instead plunging into the chaotic, shadowy Path Interstice.

Hunt Aeon Lan's entire body surged with blue-gold arrow Qi, a fierce killing intent nearly tearing apart the Interstice's walls.

He glared furiously at the cold mechanical body before him, rebuking in a sharp voice:

"Machine-head, you're truly despicable!"

The moment his voice fell, Lan drew his bow and nocked an arrow, a Light Arrow condensed with pure Hunt power pointing straight at the Erudition Aeon, the Omniscient.

The flowing light on the arrowhead could erupt with world-destroying power at any moment.

The Omniscient's mechanical eyes flickered quietly with a dim blue luster, not taking Lan's anger to heart in the slightest, his tone steady and unwavering:

"Lan, you're being far too greedy. You can have a Chosen One, so why can't I?"

"If you dare set a Path Anchor on Xuan Yao, do you know this will completely enrage Xuan Ge, driving him into a rampage!"

The Hunt power on the Light Arrow grew ever more intense, Lan's gaze cold to the extreme.

He knew all too well Xuan Ge's protective nature; whoever dared touch his child faced a fight-to-the-death dead end.

The Omniscient's mechanical eyes flickered slightly, data streams flowing rapidly in their depths, as he spoke faintly:

"I will not forcibly anchor his Path; moreover, Xuan Ge will not rampage.

During the Third Abundance War, when Xi Pei manifested, Xuan Ge's restraint is the best proof."

He paused, setting down rules in a brook-no-refusal tone:

"I will not interfere with Xuan Yao's growth; by the same token, you absolutely must not over-interfere either."

As his voice fell, the Omniscient's mechanical body instantly dissipated in the Path Interstice, leaving only a wisp of faint Erudition aura.

Lan's bow-drawing momentum did not slacken in the slightest, the rage in his heart with no outlet to vent.

Lan simply turned the arrowhead and shot an arrow viciously toward the Destruction Aeon's direction, to vent his anger.

Far in the Deep Huan Yu, the Destruction Aeon took this big rocket delivered by the Hunt for no reason.

Yet He did not fly into a rage, merely lying dormant quietly, quietly awaiting Xing Xiao's next move.

At the congratulatory ceremony, the dual divine pressure dissipated, and the crowd finally dared breathe deeply, gazes swishing in unison to focus on the high platform.

Bo Tiou stared wide-eyed, looking at the little heir in Xuan Ge's arms, unable to help but let out an exclamation:

"My oh my, what a treasure! A Dual Path Emissary right from the start? What kind of perfect start is this!"

"My father is the Divine Might General, my mother is General Rong Tao.

My uncle is the Luofu Divine Strategy General, my Guardian Elders are the Erudition and Hunt Aeons, and the family background is the entire Shen Wu Xian Zhou......"

"That's freaking awesome....."

At this moment, Xuan Yao's left eye flowed with a gentle, clear Erudition blue light like a data stream;

While his right eye surged with a fierce, sharp Hunt pure blue.

The dual-colored eyes reflected each other's brilliance, truly the genuine God-Given Eyes, born connected to the Paths of two great Aeons.

Jing Yuan's projection stood among the crowd, his expression more solemn than ever before; he turned to look at Yue Yu beside him, tone heavy:

"Yue Yu, do me a favor."

Yue Yu had just recovered from the shock of the dual Aeons' descent, raising an eyebrow to joke:

"You want to take Xuan Yao as a disciple? But you just took a new disciple not long ago; could it be you still think you don't have enough disciples?"

Seeing Jing Yuan's grave expression, she then realized, suddenly enlightened: "Oh~ You're afraid Xuan Yao will walk Xuan Ge's old path from back then?"

"Precisely." Jing Yuan's gaze returned to the child in Xuan Ge's arms, his eyes full of deep thought.

"If I hadn't known Xuan Ge for many years and regarded him as a close friend, judging solely by his conduct, one would only find this person unfathomable, cold-blooded and decisive, with ambition and strength coexisting—extremely terrifying."

Yue Yu pondered for a moment, nodding in agreement: "You're right. Before I was promoted to Celestial General, I heard of Xuan Ge's ruthless style during his campaigns.

But things are different now; Xuan Ge's nature has greatly changed. With Yao Guang's gentle guidance, Xuan Yao will absolutely not repeat past mistakes."

"A tiger father has no dog son, but Xuan Ge isn't a tiger...."

Jing Yuan's one sentence made Yue Yu's face instantly fall, understanding the deep meaning within.

"Fine, I'll find a chance to have a good talk with Yao Guang." Yue Yu agreed solemnly.

She knew clearly that once the news of the dual Aeons' favor and Xuan Yao's inborn Dual Paths spread, the universe would only marvel at Xuan Ge's offspring's talent, yet no one would care about Xuan Yao's predicament.

A tiger father has no dog son is true, but Xuan Ge was never a tiger; he is a dragon that has long since soared to the nine heavens.

Xuan Ge's prestige is too dazzling, like a scorching sun enveloping the universe; even if Xuan Yao exerts ten thousand times the effort in Shenwu, in this lifetime he will find it extremely difficult to surpass his father's achievements.

When Xuan Ge abdicates and passes the position to Xuan Yao, will the Shenwu Corps sincerely submit?

The answer is obvious.

The Shenwu Corps recognizes only the Divine Might General Xuan Ge alone; they are loyal to Xuan Ge himself.

Although the Divine Might General's offspring can reassure them, ultimately it is merely to reassure the General.

They also hope the General, like them, marries and has children.

But the Shenwu Corps is, after all, Xuan Ge's private army.....

Jing Yuan's proposal can be called a perfect plan:

Wait until Xuan Yao is slightly older, enter Jing Yuan's sect, temporarily leave the Shen Wu Xian Zhou.

Accumulate military merit and reputation on the Luofu, only then can he slowly escape the shadow of being overshadowed by his own father, and thus stand firm.

"Xuan Ge~" Yao Guang, holding the giggling Xuan Yao, softly called out to Xuan Ge who had fallen into deep thought nearby, her eyes full of gentleness and worry.

She knew clearly that after the gods cast their gazes down, Xuan Yao's future would be incomparably difficult.

From now on, the world would only see that this was simply the son of General Shen Wei, and would not look at whether Xuan Yao could accept the pressure.

Xuan Ge recovered, reached out and lightly pinched little Xuan Yao's soft cheeks, his brows relaxed, his smile open and calm:

"No harm, this isn't some disaster, but rather little Yao'er's blessing, the God-Granted Eyes bestowed by two Stellar Gods."

His tone was determined, not the slightest anxiety from the dual gods' favor, instead his heart was full of cherishing for the child.

But actually inside he was already nearly exploding with anger, he couldn't figure it out with ten thousand heads, Lan and the Erudition Emanator just looking is fine, but you two promoting my son to Emanator — what is your intention?!

Originally Xuan Yao just needed to follow by his side, growing up happy and carefree would be fine.

As a result now, Xuan Yao has already been labeled as the son of General Shen Wei truly possessing dragon-phoenix posture, and pressure will accompany Xuan Yao for a lifetime.

In the seats below, Diamond watched the warm scene on the High Platform, silent for a long time, turned her head and asked in a low voice to Jade beside her:

"You've known Xuan Ge for many years, really don't want to get involved? Really not envious?"

Jade lifted her teacup and took a light sip, smile faint, tone calm: "Let's talk later."

She and Xuan Ge had indeed known each other for a long time, but past interactions were mostly business dealings, not much affection.

Moreover after this matter, the concubines by Xuan Ge's side will certainly protect him strictly.

Wanting to get close again, difficulty comparable to climbing the sky, the timing has long been missed.

Diamond sighed lightly, still not giving up: "If you truly have this intention, not just the Strategic Investment Department, the whole company would fully support you, this is a sure-profit strategic investment."

Jade merely laughed lightly, and did not respond.

Let nature take its course, gaining it is fortune, not gaining it is no matter, she would never force what doesn't belong to her.

Of course, if she truly had it, she wouldn't let her own child in the company be controlled by that so-called investment.

The dark side, bearing it herself is enough.

On the Other Side's seats, Hei Ta, Ruan Mei, and Screwllum sat side by side.

Hei Ta had long since recovered from the shock of the dual gods' descent, watching Xuan Ge on the High Platform, couldn't help but complain:

"Stinky Xuan Ge, life's pretty good."

Ruan Mei's fingertips lightly stroked the tea cup wall, a gentle smile, tone teasing:

"Hei Ta, if you're interested, you can too."

"With your identity as Erudition Emanator, maybe after having one, you ask the Erudition Emanator, and He would hundred percent respond to all your questions."

She paused, looked at Hei Ta, tone with a few more points of bewitchment:

"And, I can help you adjust your figure, letting you get what you wish for."

"Forget it, I'm naturally beautiful, don't need those two heavy burdens."

Hei Ta stubbornly retorted, but her voice grew smaller and smaller.

In her heart she couldn't help but silently complain that Xuan Ge just likes big ones, this superficial to the extreme preference!

Screwllum sat to the side, polite silence throughout, in his heart secretly calculating:

The Giant Starship he gifted is big enough, big enough to contain the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, just right fitting Xuan Ge's preference, the General should be satisfied with this congratulatory gift.
