Chapter 2465: Every family has its rules

Dawn and dusk alternated, the sun and moon turned, day after day passed.

Everything in the material universe was so tranquil, perhaps because the Lord of the Universe kept balance, making conflicts between races fewer and fewer, with no large-scale wars breaking out.

Xiao Feng killing the four direct disciples of the Water Civilization's Dao Ancestors should have been a major incident; logically, the Four Great Dao Ancestors such as the Extreme Realm Dragon Emperor should have come to confront him.

But he had returned five years ago, and still there was no word.

One day, Chen Jie sent a voice transmission via Divine Sense, telling him: "The Dragon Emperor and the others have let it go. My father once said that all disputes in the New Universe must stay there; grudges must not be brought back. It seems they are quite sensible, having observed the rule."

Xiao Feng was still merging his origin, and did not respond to her.

But he understood it in his heart.

The closer one is to a Dao Ancestor, the more one understands how terrifying they are.

And the Dao Ancestors themselves understood all too well how terrifying the sole being in the universe that surpasses them is.

Although Chen Li attained the Dao late, he alone could sweep aside all Dao Ancestors, so the rule he set is one no one dares to violate.

Moreover, Xiao Feng was about to become a Dao Ancestor himself; he cultivated the Material Law, and once he broke through, he would be a peerless powerhouse on par with Chen Li before he fused with the Cosmic Will in the past, and with the Primordial True King at present.

Nobody wanted another such opponent.

Although losing a direct disciple was heartbreaking, as Dao Ancestors, the Extreme Realm Dragon Emperor and others also understood that life and death are part of the cosmic cycle and cannot be forced.

Furthermore, they retained some of the direct disciples' origin, so there is still hope to nurture their rebirth and retrain them into talent.

The matter just passed like that.

The adventures in the New Universe seemed to come to an end, only occasionally mentioned during the Controller's Plane's drinking and chatting sessions.

However, Xiao Feng understood that he would at least go to the New Universe once more.

That day, the weather was exceptionally clear; not a single cloud could be seen in the sky spanning a million li.

Xiao Yuran was accompanying her master Xuan Die in watering the flowers, making the exotic flora around their home exceptionally beautiful.

"Master, my father god is about to break through, yet you haven't given him a child; wouldn't that be a regret?" Xiao Yuran asked.

Xuan Die chuckled: "Little girl, you worry too much. Your father's life level is too high; even before breaking through, I am not qualified to bear him offspring."

"Ah? Even you can't? Then who can?" Xiao Yuran looked dejected.

She always wanted a brother or sister to play with.

That brat Xiao Fan had no choice; seeing how much the father god values him, if he were to break something he'd surely be harshly punished, so all she could hope for was for the father god to have more children.

Xuan Die pointed with her gaze to a nearby simple wooden pavilion and said: "She can do it, even if your father god breaks through."

"Her?"

Xiao Yuran looked over; the flowers and grass around that pavilion were growing well, as if, though planted at the same time as others, they had grown several years more.

She seemed to recall something and muttered: "This stepmother is a bit fierce; even the father god can't beat her, and in the end he had to beg for mercy."

"Ah? There's such a thing?" Xuan Die's expression showed surprise upon hearing it.

It had always been others begging Xiao Feng for mercy; when had anyone seen Xiao Feng himself beg for mercy?

The Time Dao Ancestor actually that

how formidable?

Mm!

Xiao Yuran firmly said: "My sister and I heard it; they were definitely begging for mercy."

"Oh? Then how did he say it?" Xuan Die was greatly interested, wanting to know what it was like for Xiao Feng to be forced to admit defeat.

Xiao Yuran leaned to her ear and whispered: "Father god said… Sister, you've had enough, even if you control time you can't play with me like this, it's been a hundred thousand years! Whose husband does it once for a hundred thousand years! I really have not a drop left; even if you call dad to beg me, I have none left."

Xuan Die's eyes widened.

Good grief! That really means begging for mercy!

As expected of the Lord of Time, indeed she plays wildly, in an instant draining Xiao Feng's hundred-thousand-year reserve.

She pondered Xiao Feng's amount, secretly thinking that a hundred thousand years must be an ocean?

The master and disciple were laughing ambiguously, chatting obscenely.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air beside them.

"What are you chatting about?" Chen Jie flashed over and asked lightly.

She certainly knew what the two were discussing, but she asked this on purpose to express her opinion.

"Um, senior…"

Xuan Die felt her terrifying Dao Ancestor aura and instantly wilted, shrinking her neck, losing elegance, only tension remained.

Xiao Yuran, however, was quite bold; after being startled by Chen Jie's sudden appearance, she patted her chest and said displeased: "Aunt Jie, you can't eavesdrop and pop out like that; our family has a rule—superhuman power must not be used on kin."

Ranran…

Xuan Die couldn't help but call out, fearing this would provoke the Lord of Time's displeasure.

However, unexpectedly, this Dao Ancestor was not angry, but rather pensive, saying: "Is that so? Strange"

"You two are speaking softly, hardly using Divine Sense to transmit voices…"

"Exactly like that!" Xiao Yuran expressed certainty.

"Alright, then I'll change." Chen Jie nodded slightly to indicate she remembered.

Just as she finished speaking, she vanished via instant movement from the spot.

However…

0.1 seconds later, she returned, retracting her earlier instant movement, walking at a normal person's pace toward her residence.

Xuan Die: ……

Seeing the Lord of Time so approachable, Xuan Die felt a bit dazed for a moment.

Wasn't it said that this Dao Ancestor is hard to get along with, with a bad temper?

How come upon entering the Xiao family's gate, she turned out like this?

Could this be the power of love?

No, that's not right either!

They don't have any love!

It's just two people messing around!

"Yuran, you're really bold; even Master admires you." After Chen Jie left, Xuan Die couldn't help but say to Xiao Yuran.

Xiao Yuran calmly said: "Of course it goes without saying—I'm the beloved daughter of Father God; who around Him wouldn't have to pamper me? Once Father God becomes even more powerful, the whole universe will have to treat me as a treasure; this is the skill of reincarnation."

"That's true—you two sisters are truly the happiest people in the world."

Xuan Die couldn't help but sigh, even feeling a bit envious of her disciple's background.

However, Xiao Yuran shook her head and said: "Actually, you two are the happiest; I and my sister are just extra members of this household, sometimes feeling completely pointless."

Xuan Die laughed: "Little girl, you're stuffed on dog food and starting to lovesick. Go find a Husband God—with your status, you can pick as many as you like, as long as you like them."

"Ah, which

that easy to find." Yuran sighed.

Not far away, Chen Jie, who had returned home, glanced at Xiao Yuran outside the house, the corners of his mouth slightly curling.
