Earth.

Polar ice land in the North.

Five years apart, Ye Chen returned once again, coming to his hometown.

The far northern land is sparsely populated, but Ye Chen is not alone; he is accompanied by charming companions.

A king, Long Chan, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Qing Luo, Saint Linglong, the Kirin girl—each of the six women has their own grace and is as beautiful as figures in a painting, all gathered around Ye Chen.

Long Chan eventually came to Earth. She was endowed with a precious treasure by Dragon Esteem, capable of masking her soul's aura so Earth no longer rejects her.

Moreover, Long Chan not only came alone but also brought along the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Saint Linglong followed too, and Qing Luo... In short, their lineup hasn't changed at all.

"Is this the outer world?" The Kirin girl blinked and said. "Why is it all ice and snow everywhere, with not a single person in sight?"

After stepping out of the interworld passage, they directly reached the polar lands, surrounded by snow and ice, appearing very desolate.

"This is a land of ice and snow, naturally, no one lives here. But you won't be bored for long; I'll take you to a crowded place, where lots of people will accompany you to play!" Ye Chen said with a smile in his eyes.

"Really?" The Kirin girl cutely replied.

"Of course, as long as you are obedient, you'll have whatever you want!" Ye Chen said grandly.

The Kirin is the king of mythical beasts, ranked above Taotie, Baize, Mysterious Tortoise, and White Tiger. Ye Chen wants to keep the Kirin girl close by treating her well, making sure she can't possibly leave him.

In fact, after experiencing so many dangers, the Kirin girl also realized that following Ye Chen is the safest choice.

Due to her unique existence, she causes trouble wherever she goes, and countless people are eager to seize her.

Ye Chen has a multitude of wives who at least won't have designs on her, but what if she were captured by others?

The Kirin girl dared not imagine such a thing and decided to first stay with Ye Chen, being a quiet and beautiful girl. Once she grows thoroughly, she would then find a way to break free from Ye Chen.

"The outer world's environment is too harsh, with weak spiritual energy, very unsuitable for cultivation!" Saint Linglong frowned while looking at the vast ice field.

It's well-known that the outer world's cultivation environment is harsh. However, when Saint Linglong arrived on Earth, she realized how extreme the conditions really are; it's not conducive to cultivation at all, unable to produce a mighty dragon.

It's hard to imagine how Di Lintian, Ye Tianshi, and the other earthly saints testified the Dao here.

"Earth's environment is already good," Ye Chen inexplicably sighed. "Earth may now have faint spiritual energy, but before I left, Earth had no spiritual energy at all!"

"No spiritual energy?" Saint Linglong frowned and asked.

Spiritual energy so thin is already horrifying; if there's no spiritual energy at all... how would one cultivate?

"Earth's changes should be affected by the apocalyptic calamity!" Ye Chen said. "When the apocalyptic calamity arrives, all heavens and realms will suffer. Heavenly Dao sensed the threat, so it altered the structure of the realms, with Earth beginning to have spiritual energy!"

The severity of the apocalyptic calamity is unknown, causing many places to mutate, akin to Earth giving birth to spiritual energy again.

In fact, not only is Earth mutating, but many small worlds are also undergoing changes. Not only has the cultivation environment improved, but many talents are emerging!

Due to the calamity's influence, all heavens and realms are experiencing a golden age, but after the golden age, it will also turn into a world of blood!

"Dragon Esteem performed the Way of Myriad Phenomena, allowing me to deceive the heavens and cross the seas. I wonder how it fares now!" Ye Chen said.

After the interworld passage opened, the scene was indeed grand and ceremonious, with even the Human King waiting eagerly. The reason Ye Chen dared to show himself was because Dragon Esteem was protecting him.

However, too many Great Saints have descended, making Ye Chen a bit uncertain, worried that Dragon Esteem might not be able to withstand them.

"Ye Chen, you don't need to worry about my respected father; those Great Saints can't defeat him!" Long Chan said.

"Haha, you're really confident!" Ye Chen laughed.

"Of course!" Long Chan said matter-of-factly. "You're still too young to understand my father's invincibility. Throughout all heavens and realms, there's no one who can oppose him!"

"…" Ye Chen was at a loss for words; this girl's worship of her father was deep enough…

However, when he thought about having a daughter of his own, Ye Chen felt comforted. Ye Chen wishfully believed that his daughter would surely admire him greatly!

"One Emperor, let's return to the capital; I can't wait anymore, I want to see my daughter!" Ye Chen looked northward, towards where the capital was, his eyes flashing with a hint of fervor.

"We should indeed return!" One Emperor nodded. "I wonder how the capital fares, whether the dragon pulse was lost!"

A supreme power covets the city's dragon pulse, making Yun Zheyue even struggle to resist. With One Emperor gone for so long, he is genuinely worried about the state of the capital.

"Ye Chen, I have done everything you asked, now hand over the portrait!" Saint Linglong blocked Ye Chen's path and said.

"Portrait?" Qing Luo queried with suspicion.

Throughout this journey, Qing Luo had sensed something odd; Saint Linglong seemed to be under Ye Chen's control, like he was holding something over her.

But neither Ye Chen nor Linglong had explained clearly, so even if Qing Luo had suspicions, she kept them to herself.

However, when Saint Linglong suddenly brought up the portrait, it made Qing Luo feel something, as if she vaguely guessed something.

"Hehe!"

Qing Luo questionedly watched Ye Chen, causing him to give an embarrassed smile, seemingly guilty of something.

"Hand it over!"

Seeing Qing Luo's realization, Saint Linglong's face suddenly turned cold, demanding Ye Chen to hand over the portrait.

Those portraits cannot see the light of day. If Qing Luo discovers them, Saint Linglong would die of shame.

"I've deleted most of the portraits, there's just this last one left... Here you go!" Ye Chen took out a phone and handed it to Saint Linglong.

"Really, only this one?" Saint Linglong gripped the phone, her eyes fiercely fixed on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was always full of tricks, Saint Linglong had been duped by him before, so even if Ye Chen sincerely reached out to her, Saint Linglong would still hesitate a bit.

"It's the only one!" Ye Chen nodded seriously. "You are Qing Luo's foster mother, I have no wish to become your enemy, but as for you... Well, those are all past matters, it's all over now!"

"..."

Saint Linglong's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed as she seriously looked at Ye Chen, as if trying to gauge the truth of his words.

"Qing Luo, will you stay or go with me?" Saint Linglong looked at Qing Luo, her most cherished foster daughter.

In fact, Saint Linglong came to Earth intending to snatch back the images and kill Ye Chen!

However, Ye Chen's strength was formidable, and even if she struck him down, she might not get her wish. Besides, Qing Luo had deep feelings for Ye Chen, if Linglong killed him, wouldn't Qing Luo be heartbroken?

Saint Linglong loved Qing Luo dearly, treating her as her own, and was very reluctant to let her be hurt.

Moreover, Saint Linglong had suffered emotional wounds and knew that kind of pain well, so she didn't want Qing Luo to repeat the same mistake. Ye Chen... was worthy of Qing Luo.

"Godmother, I don't want to leave!"

Qing Luo came to Ye Chen's side, looking at Saint Linglong, showing a kind of determination.

"Hehe!" Seeing this scene, Saint Linglong immediately understood, a married daughter is like spilled water, Qing Luo wanted Ye Chen not her anymore.

"Ye Chen, treat Qing Luo well, or I will return to Earth and make you suffer!" Saint Linglong sighed, seriously looking at Ye Chen, as if entrusting him, or perhaps threatening him.

"I will not let my woman suffer!" Ye Chen said, raising his head.

"Qing Luo, take care of yourself, godmother is leaving!"

Linglong glanced at Qing Luo once more, then turned to leave, intending to find the spatial node and return to the Canglan Realm.

This was Earth, not her home ground, Linglong was unwilling to remain here.

"It seems your godmother truly cares for you, she even let me go for your sake, and doesn't even want the Kirin anymore!" Ye Chen said with a smile as he watched Saint Linglong leave, looking at Qing Luo.

Saint Linglong had a great desire for the Kirin, and for that, she had even become Ye Chen's enemy.

Yet in this situation, Linglong actually gave up the struggle and ceased to linger over the Kirin, which surprised Ye Chen a bit.

"Ye Chen, what did you do to my godmother?" Qing Luo said. "Godmother has been depressed over these years, you mustn't hurt her!"

"Haha, I haven't harmed her!" Ye Chen laughed sheepishly.

"As soon as I see you smile, I know you're lying, you're not reliable at all!" Qing Luo said disdainfully.

"..." Ye Chen stopped smiling.

"Alright, stop showcasing your affection, let's leave quickly!" A deity said a bit speechlessly.

Qing Luo, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Long Chan, the Kirin maiden, all were considered Ye Chen's women, only she herself was not, which made the deity feel very lonely, wanting to leave here quickly.

"Alright, let's go, to the capital!" Ye Chen thought of Zhang Xinlan, Liu Shihua, and suddenly became very eager. Besides, he wanted to see his daughter, he was so handsome, his wife so beautiful, their daughter must be adorably cute.

"Hmm?"

Ye Chen was about to leave with the ladies, but suddenly stopped in his tracks, frowning as he looked southward, in the direction where Saint Linglong disappeared.

"What is it?" the ladies asked.

Ye Chen suddenly became very serious, with an indescribable gravity, which caused the women to feel uneasy.

"It seems the storm hasn't passed, someone is waiting for us to fall into a pit, to ambush us there!" Ye Chen said in a deep voice.

"What?" the women exclaimed, their expressions changing.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise shook the heavens, shaking the icy plain.

"Godmother, why is she back again?" Qing Luo said in astonishment.

"She might have been beaten back!" Ye Chen, looking at Saint Linglong, speculated.

"..."

"Someone is hunting godmother, three Human King-level experts!" Qing Luo exclaimed in shock.

As if to verify Ye Chen's speculation, a group of people appeared behind Linglong, a group of individuals with fierce cultivation, dozens of powerful lords.

Moreover, before these lords, there were three leaders, exuding vast auras, they were actually Saints!

"Heavens, those three leading figures are actually Human King-level experts!" Qing Luo said, her scalp tingling.

"Saintly Kings are rare even in the Canglan Realm, how can there be such powerful figures on Earth?" Ye Chen was also stunned.
