The one I follow will be a being capable of suppressing an entire era,” Jun Linglong said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew that the Seven Apertures Linglong Heart possessed a hidden ability: a faint glimpse of fragments of the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this ability was incredibly extraordinary—and could not be activated at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Linglong had triggered it only once in her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that fragment of the future, she saw a hazy, transcendent figure clad in white robes, his back turned to all living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless souls, ancient tribes, knelt behind him, chanting his title: Jun Tian Di.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jun Linglong became certain: in this lifetime, the Jun family would produce a true dragon, suppressing all past and future time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that fragment of the future, the Jun Tian Di worshipped by all beings—exactly which Jun family prodigy was he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this doubt, Jun Linglong had never followed anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waited, for the one who most resembled Jun Tian Di to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zhangjian, though the Tenth Sequence and powerful, had not given her that feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lan Qingya found Jun Linglong’s words utterly ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Suppressing an entire era? Jun Linglong, your excuse is laughable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the strongest current Sequence holder of the Jun family dared not claim such a thing with certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an age of fierce competition, where tribes rose and prodigies emerged—no prodigy dared declare he could suppress this era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a white crane in the distant sky drew everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon the crane sat a figure resembling a tiny divine spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only just broken through the fifth level of the Divine Treasury, and had not yet gained the ability to fly—he could only arrive riding the crane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is that figure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He looks so young—is he really this small and already coming to the arena?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of Jun family youths began whispering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since birth, Jun Xiaoyao had always remained within the Tian Di Palace, never stepping outside the Jun family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, aside from the Eighteen Ancestors, a handful of elders, and his mother Jiang Rou, no one else had ever seen Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? He…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Linglong’s beautiful eyes fixed on the young figure, and her Seven Apertures Linglong Heart suddenly trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of fluttering stirred within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way…” Her eyes widened, and an instinct surged through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crane landed; Jun Xiaoyao lightly tapped his toe and stepped down effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a handsome boy—I want to pinch his cheeks…” a Jun family girl gazed at him with sparkling eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So cute—I want to ride him…” another Jun family woman, voluptuous and domineering, stared at Jun Xiaoyao with a dazed, lustful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by these wolf-like, tiger-like Jun family women, Jun Xiaoyao felt a chill crawl up his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His kidneys were indeed strong—but he was still only three years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to be a pony pulling a cart meant for a stallion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This child’s bloodline is too powerful—why does he feel stronger than us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One young Jun family member couldn’t help asking: “Kid, which branch of the Jun family are you from? Why have I never seen you before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao replied casually: “Of course you haven’t seen me—I’ve never left the Tian Di Palace before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Never left the Tian Di Palace…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the young man spoke, his body suddenly trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tian Di Palace—only the highest-ranking members of the Jun family were permitted to reside there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes shook as he stared at Jun Xiaoyao: “You… you’re not the one from three years ago, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right—I’m Jun Xiaoyao,” Jun Xiaoyao replied lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, the entire arena erupted in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao was now the most mysterious and highest-ranked junior in the Jun family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Born three years ago, he had startled the Eighteen Ancestors, who personally granted him the title of Divine Son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In status, Jun Xiaoyao now rivaled the Ten Sequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bow to the Divine Son!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Jun family youths in the arena bowed deeply in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Linglong’s eyes flickered with surprise, yet she also bowed to Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingya’s expression changed instantly—she, an outsider and vassal, dared not offend Jun Xiaoyao, and hurriedly bowed low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the sea of Jun family youths bowing respectfully to him, Jun Xiaoyao silently clicked his tongue, thinking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t right. According to the trope, someone should’ve stepped forward to challenge me, and then I’d crush them and show off. Why are they all so obedient? How am I supposed to show off?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao felt like punching cotton—he had no leverage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been hoping to find someone to show off to—no, to spar with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jun Xiaoyao had underestimated the power of the Divine Son title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one here dared show him the slightest disrespect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Since no one’s challenging me, I’ll just sign in quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly and walked straight to the Taiyue Ancient Stele.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, you have arrived at the signing location, Taiyue Ancient Stele.
