Chapter 1764: Reunion

Stars fall, kings return.

As dozens of brilliant, dazzling meteors, each radiating vast divine might, streaked across the sky, countless living beings across the ten Outer Shenzhou realms erupted in fervor and excitement.

As the true supreme powers of this world, the Li Li Tianwang are beings revered by all life in the Outer Shenzhou; they are like deities, the true masters and foundation of the Outer Shenzhou.

During these ten years of Heavenly Fate, not a single trace of the Li Li Tianwang remained across the ten Outer Shenzhou realms; although this also meant the Great Demon King could not appear in the world, for many living beings, the absence of the Li Li Tianwang to hold the line always caused unease in their hearts.

Now, the ten years of Heavenly Fate have come to a complete end, and the Li Li Tianwang of the Outer Shenzhou have immediately returned from the Wang Hou battlefield to the Outer Shenzhou to confront the true offensive that will soon erupt from the Dark World.

Within the Lingxiang Cave Heaven, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge were also gazing at those magnificent meteors streaking across the sky; with their current strength, they could easily penetrate the vast positional power surging outside those meteors.

Even the figures within were seen clearly by the two of them, and their identities were all discerned.

Those Li Li Tianwang who once seemed infinitely powerful in the eyes of the two now failed to bring even a shred of oppressive pressure; only the two most magnificent and brightest stars among the starry host could make them slightly focus their attention.

"Two Divine Fruit Li Li Tianwang, and twenty-seven Li Li Tianwang."

Li Luo sighed somewhat; this wave of descending stars represented the peak foundation accumulated by the ten Outer Shenzhou realms over tens of thousands of years since ancient times, yet after such a long time, the number of Li Li Tianwang surviving in the world was merely a few dozen...

From this, it can be seen that the realm of Li Li Tianwang is truly like that of deities, the true masters of this world.

And for the younger generation like Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, and Lu Qing'er to enter the Li Li Tianwang realm within just a few decades, such cultivation speed can only be described as shocking to the world.

Of course, the three of them achieving such unimaginable accomplishments was naturally also inseparable from their talents; after all, one possessed a Ten Thousand Phases Seed, one a Primordial Innate Seed, and one a Primordial Acquired Seed; this was already the top-tier configuration in this world.

However, even possessing top-tier unique seeds, Li Luo and the others all understood that without the fate catalysis of these "Ten Years of Heavenly Fate," reaching their current realm would likely have required decades more of tempering and accumulation.

The saying "circumstances create heroes" refers precisely to this.

"There should still be one Divine Fruit Li Li Tianwang and several Li Li Tianwang who have not yet returned; they are likely remaining to guard the Wang Hou battlefield, after all, that place is also the main passage leading to the Outer Shenzhou and cannot be lightly abandoned," Jiang Jiang Qinge said softly.

Just as Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge were speaking, the falling stars began to slow down; finally, their dazzling radiance converged, and in the reverent gazes of countless living beings, they transformed into dozens of towering figures of light standing between heaven and earth.

"Hehe, congratulations to all the newly promoted Li Li Tianwang for adding further foundation to our Outer Shenzhou; truly worthy of celebration." In the next moment, a grand and vast laughter, carrying warmth, echoed in the ears of every living being in the world.

This voice was not unfamiliar to Li Luo and the others; it was none other than the head of all Li Li Tianwang, the Jiang Li Li Tianwang.

"Please, all of you, come to the Lingxiang Cave Heaven for a gathering."

The Jiang Li Li Tianwang's voice gradually echoed; the stars flickered, traversed space, and in merely a few dozen breaths, they had appeared within the Lingxiang Cave Heaven.

At the same time, Li Taixuan, Qi Huang, Lu Qing'er, Zhen Lingshuang, Wang Xuanjin, the Golden Winged Old Man, and others who had just broken through to the Li Li Tianwang realm also wielded positional power to shift space, rapidly arriving at the Lingxiang Cave Heaven.

Thus, at this moment, the peak forces of the ten Outer Shenzhou realms all gathered within this ancient cave heaven.

This was a true supreme council of the world, where only Li Li Tianwang possessed the qualification to participate.

Lingxiang Cave Heaven.

The void before Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge tore open at this moment, forming spatial cracks; however, in the next instant, the expressions of the two suddenly turned joyful, because a familiar, clear, and melodious laughter reached their ears first.

Accompanying the voice came a purple-clad graceful figure who emerged fastest from the spatial cracks.

"You two little ones have done well; in less than ten short years, you have already surpassed even me."

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge gazed at the beautiful woman who had walked out of the spatial crack, wearing a purple coat and exuding a dignified and elegant temperament; joyous smiles uncontrollably bloomed on their faces.

"Mother!"

In the next moment, both of them cried out joyfully.

For the purple-clad woman emerging from the spatial crack was none other than the long-separated Tantai Lan.

Tantai Lan smiled as she stepped forward; in a flash, she appeared before the two, her beautiful eyes flowing with gratification and tenderness as she gazed at these two young people who had surpassed their teachers.

Jiang Jiang Qinge joyfully embraced Tantai Lan; the latter's beautiful eyes softened, and like in her childhood, she gently patted her back with one hand before letting go.

"Mother, have you also advanced to the Li Li Tianwang realm?" Li Luo observed Tantai Lan, for he discovered that she too was now radiating immense positional power, which was far beyond what a Peerless Ninth Rank could possess; thus, it was clear that during the settlement period of the Ten Years of Heavenly Fate, Tantai Lan, who was in the Wang Hou battlefield, had also received a substantial portion of the heaven and earth's fate.

"I have merely forged a Li Li Tianwang with three positional powers; I am not as good as you two little ones." Tantai Lan pouted, speaking as if somewhat disdainful.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge both smiled gently.

"A-Lan! Haha, have you missed me?!"

Just as the three were reuniting, an impatient laughter suddenly rang out; from a spatial vortex, the figure of Li Taixuan flashed out and then lunged toward Tantai Lan.

Tantai Lan reached out her palm with a look of mild annoyance and grabbed Li Taixuan by the collar, but the latter stretched out his arm, casually pulling Tantai Lan into his embrace, took a deep breath, and said affectionately, "A-Lan, do you know? When I advanced to the Li Li Tianwang realm, even that Li Li Tianwang Fiend took your form, making me unable to bring myself to deal a ruthless blow."

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge exchanged glances nearby, both secretly shuddering; the old man's love words were truly cheesy; indeed, age had caught up with him.

Tantai Lan rolled her eyes at Li Taixuan and spat, "No seriousness at all."

Yet, in the end, she did not push Li Taixuan away; their hands were tightly clasped together, obviously both feeling deep longing for each other in their hearts.

"Father, Mother, speaking of which, our family has not been reunited for nearly twenty years." Li Luo looked at the three people before him, who were the most important to him, and spoke with some emotion.

Since the day Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan hurriedly left the House Luolan Manor and entered the Wang Hou battlefield, this once warm little family had gradually separated for nearly twenty years.

Hearing this, Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan were also slightly dazed, for even they had not expected that after leaving back then, so many years would pass; and at that time, the young boys and girls in the House Luolan Manor had now become Li Li Tianwang powers whose strength surpassed their own.

Jiang Jiang Qinge bit her red lips slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with nostalgia for the lights and laughter and playfulness of that small family twenty years ago.

"You have worked hard these years; from now on, our family will never be separated again." Tantai Lan reached out her hand, touched the faces of Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, and said softly.

Li Taixuan also laughed loudly, "Our family has four Li Li Tianwang; in any future desperate situation, we will face it together."

A family of four Li Li Tianwang; such an achievement can be called the first family in all of history.

Li Luo nodded with a smile, just about to speak, when his expression suddenly shifted; he coughed lightly and called out in reminder, "Father."

Li Taixuan immediately sensed something; his gaze turned, and he saw a figure slowly emerging from a spatial vortex not far away; his cold and solemn face was awe-inspiring.

That was... Li Li Jingzhe.

He stood not far away, his expression somewhat desolate as he gazed at the reunited little family of four, remaining silent.

Tantai Lan gently pursed her lips and coughed once.

Li Taixuan scratched his head, then immediately scolded Li Luo sternly, "You child, truly so unreasonable; what 'family of four Li Li Tianwang'? Does your grandfather, such a huge Li Li Tianwang, not count? My family is clearly a family of five Li Li Tianwang!"

Li Luo tugged at the corners of his mouth, unwilling to pay him any mind, and instead smiled at Li Li Jingzhe, "Grandfather, did you see? Your grandson has now forged a Li Li Tianwang with four positional powers; impressive, right?"

Li Li Jingzhe's cold and solemn old face thawed slightly; he hesitated for a moment before taking a step, his figure landing before everyone.

"Xiao Luo, Jiang Qinge, Grandfather is proud of your achievements." Li Li Jingzhe first looked at Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, his eyes filled with deep gratification and pride.

Tantai Lan then nodded proactively toward Li Li Jingzhe and called out, "Father."

Her relationship with Li Li Jingzhe had actually completely eased, especially during these years on the Wang Hou battlefield, where she had even joined hands with Li Li Jingzhe to face the great demon lords of the Dark World.

As for Li Taixuan, however, it had truly been many years since he had seen Li Li Jingzhe.

So when Li Taixuan faced Li Li Jingzhe, he was slightly guilty at heart, but he still bent his body slightly and said respectfully, "Father, it's been many years. Your son wishes you peace and freedom from worry."

Li Li Jingzhe gazed at the Li Taixuan before him, and within his deep, world-weary eyes, a trace of moisture welled up. Then he reached out with slightly trembling hands and gently patted Li Taixuan's shoulder, his voice slightly hoarse as he said, "Good. It's good that you've come back."

With Li Taixuan's temperament, at these words he could not help but redden slightly around the eyes. Only after becoming a father himself was he able to experience just how intense the blood-is-thicker-than-water affection Li Li Jingzhe held for him truly was.

Li Luo, meanwhile, laughed to ease the atmosphere and said, "Our family here—five Li Li Tianwang in one house, rampaging across the world. I'd like to ask, who would dare provoke us?"

For a moment, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

However, just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out at an untimely moment.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Luo and the others were all stunned, and then they saw the void ahead being torn open, with a handsome-looking youth poking his head out, his meek voice drifting over.

"I have a not-fully-formed, tiny little suggestion."

"Could we add one more on top of the five Li Li Tianwang in one house?"

"After all, no matter how you put it, I am still your Old Ancestor."
