Ye Chen's intimidation was very effective; the goddesses looked at him dumbfounded and fell quiet. To be precise, the goddesses were scared.
"Ye Chen, why are you being so fierce? You almost scared me to death!" Li Yan looked at Ye Chen with an aggrieved expression, her pouty lips almost trembling into tears.
"I already said, quiet down, I need to talk about something!" Ye Chen was obviously angry, his voice suppressed, giving off a very serious demeanor.
"What do we need to discuss? Could it be about you taking a junior wife?" Liu Shihua asked cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression stiffened, and then he glared at Liu Shihua, that little trouble-making siren.
"Quiet down and listen!" Ye Chen said.
The goddesses all quieted down, seeing Ye Chen's seriousness and the anger in him, they knew he had something important to say, so they all obediently settled down.
They all had their willful moments. But sometimes it was okay to be willful, other times not.
Now, it was Ye Chen's turn to be willful.
"I've been open and honest with all of you, you could say I have no secrets, but after our trip to Egypt, I've had a secret, a shocking one at that!" Ye Chen pondered for a moment before finally beginning.
He didn't want to hide the matters of the Canglan Realm or his parents from them. So, while all his wives were present, Ye Chen decided to be forthcoming.
"I have to thank someone, thank her for digging up my parents' graves. If it weren't for her early warning, I might have been caught off guard by this secret!" Ye Chen said.
The goddesses looked astonished and turned their gaze to Tong Xingtong.
They already knew that Tong Xingtong had dug up the graves of Ye Chen's parents.
But why would Ye Chen bring it up again, and even thank Tong Xingtong?
Tong Xingtong bowed her head slightly, avoiding Ye Chen's gaze, as if she was somewhat evasive.
"The secret I'm about to reveal has to do with my parents." Ye Chen looked at the women. "Actually, I'm not an orphan. My parents are both alive, and they're doing very well!"
"What!" Yun Xianghan was the first to be shocked.
She knew Ye Chen's background best; his parents had supposedly passed away long ago, but now Ye Chen was saying they were alive?
"Ye Chen, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Xinlan asked. "Your mother-in-law and father-in-law passed away long ago and were buried in the wasteland back at the hometown. How can you say they are still alive?"
"Yeah, didn't you tell us before that both your mother-in-law and father-in-law had died?" Li Yan said.
Ye Chen's parents were long dead; wasn't that an ironclad fact? Otherwise, how could there be graves for them?
If Ye Chen's parents weren't dead, then whose graves did Tong Xingtong dig up?
"I thought they were dead too, but only today did I understand that they never passed away!" Ye Chen said. "Tong Xingtong dug up my parents' graves, but there was nothing in them. They were both empty graves!"
"Ye Chen, don't scare me. I'm really scared of ghost stories!" Liu Shihua said with a frail look.
"Stop messing around; I'm talking about serious matters!" Ye Chen said with an exasperated look.
"..."
"On my trip to Egypt, I met a person, someone of Great Divine Power. He and I were entangled by fate because he knew my father and my mother. He revealed the mystery of my ancestry..." Ye Chen, with a heart full of complexities, told them everything.
Ye Chen's background wasn't tragic because his parents were alive, just not with him.
However, Ye Chen harbored resentment, perhaps dissatisfaction. Being born but not raised was something he couldn't accept.
Thus, Ye Chen quietly spoke, breaking the mystery of his heritage and revealing the existence of the Canglan Realm, opening up about everything.
Ye Chen's tales sounded so fantastical that the goddesses found it hard to believe, but as Yun Xianghan confirmed it, the room began to bustle.
The secrets Ye Chen revealed left the goddesses exclaiming in amazement and declaring it unbelievable because it was just too melodramatic! At the same time, they were also shocked by the unimaginable Canglan Realm!
"That's the situation; as long as you guys know, that's enough. Don't tell anyone else," Ye Chen said.
"Hmm."
"Ye Chen, so you're not an orphan but an abandoned child!" Liu Shihua exclaimed.
"..."
"Having shared this secret, I have another matter I'd like to discuss with you all," Ye Chen continued.
"What secret?"
"I want to enter the Canglan Realm!" Ye Chen declared.
Ye Chen wanted to take a stroll through the Canglan Realm, but he needed to seek his wife's approval; otherwise, what if he returned from his trip to find she had run off with someone else?
In Ye Chen's expectations, his wives would all be obedient and sensible, agreeing to let him go to the Canglan Realm.
But reality, being cruel and bony, sharply contrasted his plush hopes—they unanimously opposed him as soon as he mentioned going to the Canglan Realm.
"What, you want to go to the Canglan Realm? No way!"
"I disagree, you can't go!"
"The Canglan Realm is full of man-eating monsters; you're not Ultraman, isn't going there seeking death?"
"You dare switch realms just to flirt with girls? Is Earth not big enough for you anymore?"
"..."
Ye Chen had just detailed the nature of the Canglan Realm; it was practically a mythical world, and no one knew how many Great Divine Power users lay dormant there.
Ye Chen was the unrivaled number one in this world, but in the diverse Canglan Realm, he would be an insignificant little nobody, clueless about how many could trample him to death.
For Ye Chen, going to the Canglan Realm was tantamount to seeking death, so of course, they were anxious.
"Alright, quiet down and listen to me!" Ye Chen said, feeling somewhat powerless.
Having calmed down the goddesses, he then shared his plans.
"A great catastrophe is imminent, and the calamity might originate from Canglan or somewhere else. This is why I want to set foot in Canglan, to find out the truth!"
"One thing is certain, this cataclysm is extremely perilous, and even Saints might fall!"
"You are all the ones I love, so I want to protect you, to prevent you from getting hurt in the slightest!"
"But with my current cultivation, I cannot avoid this calamity!"
"Therefore, I want to become stronger. Only if I am invincible can I protect everyone!"
"However, my martial base is too strong, making advancing to a Land God almost impossible!"
"So I plan to head to the Canglan Realm, to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough in that world!"
"I want to find my parents, your parents-in-law; I want to ask them why!"
Ye Chen firmly expressed his desire; he wanted to go to the Canglan Realm to face the champions of various races, and he wanted to find his parents there.
"..."
After hearing Ye Chen's heartfelt disclosure, Yun Xianghan fell silent, Su Binglan fell silent, everyone fell silent.
Ye Chen's foray into the instance was not just for fighting or leveling up; his ultimate goal was to find his family!
"The great virtuous ones of our world are competing for dominance in the Canglan Realm. Even the strongest descendants of ancient families are waging wars there. The Canglan Realm, with its ten provinces, harbors countless opportunities and can indeed transform people completely," Yun Xianghan said, looking at Ye Chen. "But if you go, you could very well die!"
