Chapter 155: The Eldest Senior Brother of Luodi Mountain (Twenty)

Su Chen arrived in the Eastern Xuan Region.
Ten years had passed, and Lin Changsheng had changed a great deal. He was no longer the naive young man just starting out, but a prominent figure in the Eastern Xuan Region.
Su Chen was gratified.
Although Lin Changsheng didn't possess Wang Yunfei's invincible Dao heart, capable of soaring through the heavens and earth, and reigning supreme alone,
he had won and lost.
But he would never give up easily.
...
In a bustling alley,
Lin Changsheng suddenly felt someone watching him.
When he turned around,
only passersby remained.
"Perhaps it's just an illusion,"
Lin Changsheng gave a wry smile.
"Soon, the Grand Competition for the Young Generation of the Myriad Regions will be held,"
"Countless young talents will gather."
Lin Changsheng gradually forgot what had just happened.
"If I could win first place in the Myriad Realms Grand Competition... perhaps I could find out some news about my parents, where they are now? And Qingqing, if I become famous throughout the universe, perhaps the Tianxuan Holy Land wouldn't object to us being together."
Lin Changsheng gazed at the vast, boundless starry sky.
That was his true goal; the Eastern Xuan Domain was ultimately too small!
...
Su Chen returned to Luodi Mountain.
The Qingming Dao Domain naturally participated in the Myriad Realms Grand Competition, and Luodi Mountain was one of the top lineages within the Qingming Dao Domain. Elders led the younger generation of prodigies from Luodi Mountain to participate in the competition.
Su Chen didn't care about the Myriad Realms Grand Competition.
At his level, the Myriad Realms Grand Competition was nothing more than a matter of face.
However, this time Lin Changsheng was going to participate in the Myriad Realms Grand Competition.
Su Chen thought for a moment, then directly pulled Long Qiu over with one hand.
"Nangong Chen, you have to let me go!"
Long Qiu grimaced. He, a Great Saint-level dragon, was being dragged around like this? What kind of behavior was this?
Su Chen said, "This time, in the Myriad Realms Grand Competition, you will replace me at Luodi Mountain to oversee things."
Long Qiu's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Little Changsheng is going to participate in the Myriad Realms Grand Competition?"
Su Chen nodded.
Long Qiu patted his chest: "With me here, nothing will happen. Nangong Chen, you can go into seclusion with peace of mind!"
"However..."
Long Qiu stammered, "Um... Nangong Chen, could you give me some more time?"
"My cultivation is too high; it's simply too difficult for me to conceive offspring."
Su Chen said, "Then I'll give you a hundred years."
Long Qiu was excited.
That way, Su Chen wouldn't send the little female dragon back to the Myriad Dragon Nest.
Su Chen continued his seclusion.
Fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.
Many things happened in the universe, the most important being the Myriad Realms Grand Competition, where countless geniuses vied for the top spot.
Within the competition, a dark horse emerged, reaching the finals at the Profound Realm, defeating an ancient prodigy at the Void Realm, gaining the favor of a supreme figure, comprehending the Longevity Cave Heaven and the Supreme Sword Dao, battling across the eight wastelands, defeating countless enemies, and fighting his way to the top of the Myriad Realms Genius Ranking.
Furthermore, he gained the favor of the Heavenly Pivot Saintess, entering the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land to comprehend the ten thousand years of creation there, breaking through the Emperor realm to become a Venerable.
On this day, Su Chen was awakened again.
"Husband, something terrible has happened!"
Appearing before him was Lin Wantang, who had just emerged from seclusion, now severely injured.
Su Chen frowned and asked, "What happened? Could it be that Changsheng is in trouble?"
Lin Wantang nodded, "Chang Sheng was hunted by the Five Great Dao Lineages and entered a dangerous place. There's been no news of him. The Zixiao Dao Sect, Luodi Mountain, Tianxuan Holy Land, the Nangong family, and the Lin family have all sent powerful experts, but to no avail."
Su Chen asked, "Is Long Qiu with Chang Sheng?"
Lin Wantang nodded.
Su Chen felt relieved.
With Long Qiu by Chang Sheng's side, as long as they don't encounter those old fogies, they shouldn't encounter any accidents in the short term.
"The Five Great Dao Lineages..."
Su Chen's eyes turned cold. He had memorized the names of these five lineages and would definitely settle accounts with them.
However, now he had to personally go to this dangerous place.
Su Chen arrived at the Ancient God's Dead Land... It was said that this place was formed from the fall of an ancient god from a distant era, filled with terrifying dangers. Even ancient gods who entered would surely die.
A terrifying pressure swept across the entire Ancient God's Land, causing many ancient gods to tremble.
"What a terrifying existence... Who on earth has come to my Ancient God Clan?"
An ancestor of the Ancient God Clan opened and closed his eyes, filled with boundless shock.
The beam of light directly pierced into the Ancient God Death Zone.
Within the Ancient God Death Zone, because the Ancient God Clan's deity was once an unparalleled emperor, the resulting forbidden zone was extremely terrifying. Everywhere, hidden killing intent lurked, containing the residual imperial might and the ancient god Clan's remaining killing formations, enough to rival the forbidden puppets of a Great Sage.
Su Chen's robes fluttered, his Innate Supreme Sword Body slicing through everything, like an unparalleled emperor conquering a forbidden zone.
On an island within the Ancient God Death Zone.
A white-haired old man with loose skin and a thin figure looked at the endless sword marks above his head.
"What an impolite person."
Beside the old man, a small mudfish looked at the white-haired old man with a fawning expression.
It knew the identity of the person before it.
"How did that guy Nangong Chen get into this place?"
Long Qiu looked at the sword mark, sensing a familiar aura.
Turning back again, the white-haired old man had vanished. Long Qiu silently lamented, "Nangong Chen, good luck to you."
At that moment, Su Chen broke through a forbidden formation, slaying the great demon within.
"Not here."
Su Chen didn't sense the auras of Lin Changsheng and Long Qiu.
As he prepared to move on to the next location,
he discovered a thin, white-haired old man with sparse hair standing before him. Unconsciously, the old man exuded an aura surpassing all other realms, causing Su Chen's heart to tremble.
An Emperor!
However, Su Chen quickly realized what was happening.
"You are not an Emperor. There will never be a second flawless Emperor in this era. Are you an Emperor from the past?"
"No, you have no life force. You are merely a remnant soul left behind by a former Emperor!"
Su Chen realized.
The white-haired elder chuckled, "The aura of the desolate ruins... it seems you are the leader of his lineage. That little fellow who entered here must be your descendant."
Su Chen cupped his hands, "This junior only entered this place to search for my son's whereabouts. I apologize for disturbing your cultivation, senior."
The white-haired elder waved his hand, "That little fellow is unharmed. I merely saw the successor of an old friend and bestowed upon him a little fortune. Whether he can comprehend it is up to him."
Su Chen's heart trembled.
The Great Emperor of Desolate Ruins was a figure from the previous era. If this white-haired old man's remnant soul knew the Great Emperor of Desolate Ruins, wouldn't he also be a figure from the previous era?
Su Chen respectfully asked, "May I ask your name, senior? And what is your relationship with our ancestor, the Great Emperor of Desolate Ruins?"
The white-haired old man narrowed his eyes: "My name... in that era, all living beings called me the God Emperor. As for that fellow Desolate Ruins, it was I who injured him, causing him to pass away."
