Eternal Heavenly Emperor

"Sir, I truly had no idea he was your son, otherwise, even with a hundred and twenty times the courage, I wouldn't dare to make a move!" Ice Edge Star King said with a wry smile.

This was indeed the absolute truth. Had he known that Chu Niancheng and Chu Haoyue had such a formidable father, he would have avoided them at all costs, let alone dare to attack.

"Is everything you said true?" Chu Hao asked indifferently.

"It's true, absolutely true!" Ice Edge Star King hastily swore.

"I don't believe you!" Chu Hao directly extracted his soul, forcibly pulling out the Ice Edge Star King's divine sense from his Sea of Consciousness to flip through.

Hisss!

The three Star Masters looked on, their legs going weak. Even a powerful Star King, if his divine sense were extracted, would be done for—his physical body might remain intact, but with the divine sense dead, even if a new spirit were to be nurtured within the body later, it would be a completely different person.

Ice Edge Star King was completely unable to resist, frothing at the mouth, limbs trembling uncontrollably as Chu Hao immobilized him in the void, leaving him completely unable to move.

Chu Hao did not review the entirety of Ice Edge Star King's life. Flipping through someone's memories was risky, because in the process, one was immersed in them. Reviewing too much could blur the lines between which memories were one's own and which belonged to someone else.

Fortunately, Chu Hao only needed to look at his memories from the past year, which was sufficient.

This Star King had received news that the Golden Moss Fruit had appeared somewhere, so he rushed there, only to arrive a step too late—the Divine Fruit had already been taken. After much inquiry, he learned that the fruit was taken by two youths, so he tracked them down.

He had actually caught up with the Chu brothers rather early, but they possessed a Teleportation Talisman given by Chu Hao, constantly escaping, yet he managed to catch up again.

Finally, he reached the scene Chu Hao had seen through the Time Law; he caught up with the Chu brothers, and, devoid of any Teleportation Talismans, Chu Niancheng sacrificed himself to rescue his brother, using the Golden Moss Fruit as bait to stop Ice Edge Star King from wasting time pursuing Chu Haoyue.

Chu Niancheng was clever, using the Golden Moss Fruit as leverage, making him hesitate to deal a killing blow. He could only bring Chu Niancheng back with him, confident that should Chu Niancheng make any mistake, he could seize the fruit, and then killing and plundering would naturally follow.

However, shortly after they set off, they encountered a starship, and unexpectedly, the people onboard decided to interfere, launching an attack. A strong woman among them, equal in strength to him, engaged him in battle. During the fight, Chu Niancheng daringly took a hit and was severely injured, but managed to escape his control and was rescued onto that starship.

The starship immediately began Spatial Teleportation, a feature common to large starships. Otherwise, how long would it take to travel through the Star Universe without passing through a Teleportation Array?

He could only continue to pursue them using the Teleportation Array, but after many days, he ultimately lost them.

Afterward, he returned here.

With a casual flick, Chu Hao threw the Ice Edge Star King to the ground, and a slash of Sword Qi flashed by — puff, the Star King's head burst open.

— If not for Chu Niancheng being clever, using the Golden Moss Fruit as a threat, he would have been killed by the Ice Edge Star King hundreds of times already.

As a father, how could he possibly spare the Ice Edge Star King?

Where exactly had Chu Niancheng been taken?

Chu Hao spread the Wings of Space, and with a gentle shake, covered billions of miles instantly, quickly arriving at the location where the Ice Edge Star King lost that starship. He summoned the Domain Lord of this Star Domain, ordering him to search for the starship and woman matching the description he provided.

The progress was slow, but Chu Hao had no choice but to wait patiently. Too much time had passed, and even using the Time Law, he could no longer trace back.

However, Chu Hao, after all, was essentially the ruler of this realm. One after another, he mobilized Star Domains to search for the whereabouts of that woman and Chu Niancheng.

The Star Universe was simply too vast, and most of its inhabitants were ordinary, so traveling through the Star Universe was a long journey for them, naturally slowing the spread of information. Suddenly, two years had passed, and Chu Hao finally received concrete news of that woman's whereabouts.

This woman was named Gan Huiruo, the seventh daughter of the Gan Family, unyielding and renowned for her loyalty. The Gan Family was also a major clan on Qinglang Star, with the family elder being a Tenth Tier King of Stars, already stepping into the role of a Domain Lord, incredibly powerful.

"The Gan Family?" Chu Hao spread the Wings of Space and in a blink covered billions of miles, hurrying toward Qinglang Star.

In those two years, Chu Hao had also returned to Guangyuan Continent. Naturally, Chu Haoyue had already awakened and had fully recovered. Now, the entire family was just looking forward to finding Chu Niancheng.

...

Qinglang Star, the Gan Family.

"Huiruo, let's elope," Chu Niancheng said to Gan Huiruo, his expression resolute.

Gan Huiruo gave a bitter smile and said, "That's impossible. Since the family has already decided on the marriage alliance with the Feng Family, they absolutely won't allow me to leave."

"It's just a family that has recently ascended to Domain Lord, what's so great about that!" Chu Niancheng snorted, "My father was able to slay a High Tier Star King a hundred years ago. So many years have passed, annihilating a Domain Lord should not be a problem, at least he could suppress a newly ascended Domain Lord. Huiruo, as long as we can get in touch with my father, we can definitely change our fate."

Gan Huiruo shook her head and said, "Niancheng, you are thinking too simply. Even if your father is a genius bestowed by heaven, how far can he go in just a hundred years? The higher the realm, the more time it takes to advance to a greater realm; it would be considered good if one could move from a Star King to a Domain Lord in a few hundred thousand years."

Chu Niancheng was silent too; although he had full confidence in Chu Hao, a hundred years were still too short... Difficult!

"Must I watch helplessly as you marry that bastard from the Feng Family?" he stood up agitatedly, "No, not unless I am dead! Huiruo, let's go, if we don't try, we will regret it for the rest of our lives!"

"Okay!" Gan Huiruo nodded, but just as Chu Niancheng showed a happy expression, she suddenly struck his neck with a chop of her hand, knocking him unconscious. She looked at Chu Niancheng lovingly for a long time before saying, "Chun'er, take Niancheng away. Once he wakes up, tell him that I, Gan Huiruo, was born a member of the Chu Family and will be a ghost of the Chu Family in death!"

"Miss—" A maid in blue appeared at the door, crying.

"Did you hear that!" Gan Huiruo shouted sharply.

"Miss, please don't die. You should beg the Family Head; you are the most outstanding disciple of the Gan Family, and you might even become a Domain Lord in the future. There's no need to marry into the Feng Family," the maid named Chun'er cried.

Gan Huiruo shook her head and said, "You don't understand. It's precisely because I am too talented and might become a Domain Lord in the future that the Feng Family insists on marrying me. This way, even if I indeed become a Domain Lord later, I'll be a person of the Feng Family."

"Now that the old ancestor of the Feng Family has successfully ascended to Domain Lord, if my Gan Family refuses this marriage, we will definitely be erased by the Feng Family under some pretext, just to demonstrate their power."

Chun'er pouted and said, "But, but—"

"There's no 'but'. Hurry and take Niancheng away!" Gan Huiruo closed her eyes; she was afraid that looking at Chu Niancheng any more would make her change her mind.

"Miss, Niancheng is also a martial arts prodigy; barely over a hundred years old, he had already touched the barrier of the Star Master. You two are truly a match made by fate, it's as if heavens are blind to forcibly separate you." Chun'er wailed loudly.

Gan Huiruo waved her hand weakly and said, "Hurry up. The Feng Family is already suspecting my relationship with Niancheng. If he stays here too long, I'm afraid the Feng Family will harm him."

Chun'er reluctantly carried Chu Niancheng on her back, looking back step by step, and did not decisively leave until she was out the door.

Tears also flowed out from Gan Huiruo's eyes, her hands tightly clenched.

Qinglang Star is located in the Floating Cloud Galaxy, in a very remote corner of the Great Sorrow Realm. The nearby dozens of galaxies had never seen a Domain Lord either, existing in a situation of multiple powers contending for supremacy. But now, everything had changed.

The old ancestor of the Feng Family had successfully broken through to Domain Lord, becoming the strongest among these dozens of galaxies.

The Feng Family had few descendants, usually just one child per generation, and besides the old ancestor of the Feng Family, it seemed that every generation suffered terribly—for those not naturally gifted in martial arts, they used medicine to reach the War Emperor, dying early of depleted lifespan; others died young in accidents while adventuring for treasures.

Feng Taiping was the only young generation in the Feng Family; tracing back beyond his great-grandfather was the old ancestor of the Feng Family. However, his great-grandfather, due to cultivating mishaps early in his life, didn't have many years to live, thus, the task of continuing the Feng Family lineage fell entirely on Feng Taiping.

For the purpose of propagation, Feng Taiping took many wives and even had a city dedicated to his seraglio, where lived his wives and their servants.

Yet despite having so many women, Feng Taiping still wandered, the word of his philandering reaching several galaxies.

This person was named Taiping, for the Feng Family hoped that he would live peacefully, unlike his ancestors who either met early deaths or suffered accidents. Taiping encountered no accidents, but his martial talent was peculiarly poor; in his twenties, he was forcefully promoted to the level of War Emperor. After more than four hundred years, he was still only at that level, nowhere near a War God—likely never to overcome this in his lifetime.

But now everyone envied him immensely.

Because not only did he have a Domain Lord as an ancestor, but he was also about to marry a woman of stunning beauty and astonishing martial talent.

The seventh young lady of the Gan Family, a true martial arts genius, became a War Emperor at forty, ascended to War God at seventy, a Star Master at two thousand, and a Star King at sixteen thousand. Now, at only twenty thousand, she was already a Second Tier Star King, touted to have a ninety-nine percent chance of becoming a Domain Lord.

Now, this flower was about to be stuck in cow dung.

But what could be done? Would the Feng Family give the Gan Family hundreds of thousands of years to let Gan Huiruo ascend to Domain Lord?

The Gan Family had only two choices: refuse and be annihilated; comply and send off the family's new star.

Marry into the Feng Family, bear a few children, and then she would belong to someone else's family.

The old ancestor of the Feng Family grandly sent out invitations, not only did every Star King from the nearby dozens of galaxies receive an invitation, but even a few Domain Lords from farther star domains were invited—first, to celebrate the old ancestor of the Feng Family's breakthrough to Domain Lord, and second, for Feng Taiping to welcome Gan Huiruo as his bride.
