The great battle has come to an end, and the vast tropical rainforest has turned into ruins.
Ye Chen stood on the ruins, gazing intently in a direction, as if trying to see through everything and glimpse what he wanted to see—the direction of the Bright Divine Court.
"Compared to the Holy Dao experts, I'm still lacking something!" Ye Chen sighed inexplicably. "Last time, I was able to expel Qian Mei, it was pure luck! Because Qian Mei's will was weak and she was unprepared, that's why I succeeded in expelling her!"
"But now, the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot has been exposed, and I can't achieve victory through surprise!"
"The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven is on guard against me, so even though he was at a disadvantage, he managed to retreat safely!"
"The Great Saint Realm is too terrifying, reaching the pinnacle of existence. If I don't prove my Dao and become a saint, even with the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot, it's difficult to threaten such beings!"
"But, I am already at the peak, yet I cannot surpass it... How can I prove the Dao?"
Ye Chen in the battle with the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, was undoubtedly in the dominant position, with the Heavenly Emperor Fist sweeping across the world, and the boundless power of the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot causing constant crises for the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven!
However, Ye Chen could only force him to retreat, not truly eliminate him, which was a lack of realm.
Ye Chen realized once again his own shortcomings. Without proving the Dao and becoming a saint, he could never stand at the pinnacle!
"Ye Chen, what on earth has he gone through to become so majestic?" Athena stood silently by, watching Ye Chen in a daze.
The battle just now was like a dream, making Athena feel unreal.
But the facts were in front of her eyes, making her have no choice but to believe.
After the shock, Athena felt a curiosity, curious about the man in front of her!
"When I first met Ye Chen, he was just a nobody!"
"When I saw Ye Chen again, he was already a soaring dragon, dominating the heavens and earth!"
"In ten years, what on earth did he experience?"
At this moment, Ye Chen was full of mystery, like an epic, making Athena infinitely expectant, wanting to pursue and explore.
"After dealing with the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, I will return to the East and try to conquer the dragon veins to forcibly prove the Dao!"
Suddenly, Ye Chen's aura was terrifying, as if he had made some determination, to accomplish something earth-shattering.
"Ye Chen, what's wrong with you?"
After coming back from his daze, Ye Chen's aura suddenly rose significantly, making Athena a bit frightened, not knowing what had happened.
Today's Ye Chen was different from before, he had shed off his childishness and become a great existence!
Mysterious, powerful, invincible, sacred, unique, eternal, majestic... Ye Chen had too many colors on him, making Athena unable to see through, let alone guess.
"Athena, let's go!" Ye Chen said.
"Where to?" Athena asked.
"To the Divine Court to save your sister!" Ye Chen replied, speechless.
"Right, right, right, let's hurry to save my sister." Athena finally remembered she still had a sister.
"..."
...
The Bright Divine Court, upholding justice, is located at the western frontier, a grand divine mansion.
Within the Divine Court are innumerable powerful cultivators, as well as an invincible master of the Divine Court!
However, just a few years ago, the Bright Divine Court underwent drastic changes, and the master of the Divine Court was slain, and the vast Divine Court changed hands.
Moreover, after the Bright Divine Court changed hands, it plunged the West into chaos!
The new master of the Divine Court was immensely cruel, wanting to control the western realms. Although not harming mortals, he purged all the factions.
The Savior, the Radiant Society, the Sky Wing Cult... one by one, great factions like flowers in water, moons in mirrors, were all eradicated by the Divine Court.
Now the Bright Divine Court is no longer a symbol of justice but a symbol of evil!
That grand divine mansion is no longer sacred but has become the domain of the Demon King, deterring people from approaching!
Now, even super forces like the Dark Divine Court and the Blood Clan dare not easily set foot into the Divine Mansion, fearing to provoke the being within.
However, far outside the Divine Mansion, a man and woman are traveling nearer.
The man is an Easterner, with bright, handsome features, exuding elegance.
The woman is a Westerner, with golden hair and blue eyes, exceedingly beautiful, undeniably a typical western beauty.
Moreover, the woman is clad in luxurious battle armor, like a mythical female war goddess, giving a sense of valor and heroism.
This couple is none other than Ye Chen and Athena.
"Ye Chen, how did you hook up with my sister, why would she be interested in you?"
Athena chased after Ye Chen, voicing her questions, wanting Ye Chen to enlighten her.
However, regarding Athena's question, Ye Chen was somewhat vague, seemingly deliberately avoiding it, unwilling to reveal much.
But the more Ye Chen didn't want to talk, the more curious Athena became, constantly questioning Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, hurry and tell me!" Athena was getting a little impatient. "How did you and my sister end up together?"
"Kids shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs!" Ye Chen replied profoundly.
"I want to meddle!" Athena said. "Yalina is my sister, you are my sister's man, is there anything wrong with me wanting to know about your love story?"
Athena knew Ye Chen was her sister's man, but how they met and fell in love, she didn't know the specifics.
Before the major change in the Bright Divine Court, Yalina was the Vice Sect Hierarch, holding great power and authority.
How could such a high-ranking strong woman fall in love with Ye Chen?
Athena was very curious about this, especially since Ye Chen never spoke of it, leaving her endlessly intrigued.
"Can we change the subject?" Athena's persistent questioning was irritating Ye Chen.
"Change the topic to what?" Athena was a bit stunned.
"Let's talk about cultivation!" Ye Chen said.
"Cultivation?" Athena was completely at a loss.
"We've been apart for ten years, how come you haven't made any progress?" Ye Chen looked at Athena and asked.
"I know it's hard to cultivate into the Great Saint, you won't touch it for the rest of your life!"
"But you can't cultivate into the Great Saint, you can become a Human King! Even if you can't become a Human King, at least you can attain sainthood!"
"But you can't even talk about attaining sainthood, if I hadn't helped you, you wouldn't have even formed your hall!"
"Athena, are you a waste?"
Athena kept asking a question, which made Ye Chen confused and frustrated.
At this moment, he seized the chance to counterattack, unleashing his small universe and leaving Athena dumbfounded.
"..."
Athena stared blankly at Ye Chen, feeling quite bad.
Ye Chen wasn't mocking her but teasing her.
But remembering the past, even though Ye Chen was teasing, Athena couldn't accept it.
Ten years ago, Ye Chen was still a youngster, a small figure in front of her.
Ten years later, Ye Chen had become towering and divine-like, making it impossible for her to surpass, she could only look up.
Such a significant change in just ten years, Athena truly couldn't accept it.
Especially Ye Chen's teasing words, they made her embarrassed.
"Athena, you're still my sister-in-law, and your cultivation is so poor. It's really embarrassing for me, and for your sister too!" Ye Chen looked at Athena with disdain and said.
"You bastard!" Athena angrily exclaimed. "I can Transcend the Other Shore and become a Lord, that's already very strong, okay?!"
Ye Chen's deliberate teasing made Athena feel aggrieved.
The cultivation environment on Earth was poor, yet she could Transcend the Other Shore and cultivate into a Lord, which was already very powerful.
Moreover, ten years is too short, for martial arts experts, it's just like a blink of an eye.
She could ascend to Lord in ten years, if not a unique genius, she was also quite excellent.
But Ye Chen saying she's a waste, not only embarrassing him but also her sister, spraying her completely...
Athena's nose was sour, with an urge to cry, Ye Chen was really too bad, how could he talk to her like that?
"Why are you crying?" Ye Chen asked. "I just said a couple of things, and you're crying? Isn't your tolerance too low?"
Athena looked aggrieved, tears were about to fall, which made Ye Chen stop and not continue teasing.
"My tolerance is low?" Athena said with red eyes.
"Do you know how hard cultivation is?"
"With the cultivation environment on Earth being so poor, and I could cultivate into Lord in ten years, that's already extraordinary!"
"There are many cultivators on Earth, but how many can be like me, Transcend the Other Shore, and become Lord?"
"I know you're very strong now, strong to the point I can't imagine, almost comparable to divine beings!"
"But how many like you exist in this world?"
"Do you think everyone is like you, a super crazy person?"
Athena burst into tears while speaking, because Ye Chen bullied her too much.
Athena definitely believed that Ye Chen worked hard to cultivate just to come and embarrass her!
"Alright, alright, I know I'm wrong, you don't cry!"
Although Athena didn't burst into crying, her tears kept flowing, making Ye Chen embarrassed.
Being his sister-in-law, how could he, as a brother-in-law, bully her?
"I just want to cry!" Athena's tears didn't stop. "Why do you call me waste, why do you say I'm embarrassing? How dare you slander me, I can't beat you, can't I cry?"
Athena was a savior, a Western War Goddess, viewed by the world as a strong woman.
But when Athena met Ye Chen, she wasn't a strong woman, she was a cute girl.
Athena cried, her face delicate like a flower, pitiful and enchanting, if outsiders saw it, jaws would surely drop.
The mighty War Goddess Athena, would also cry, and in front of a man?
"I'm utterly defeated, can you stop crying?" Ye Chen said with a bitter smile.
"No!" Athena said. "You bully me, I must cry!"
"Don't falsely accuse me, I didn't bully you!" Ye Chen clarified.
"You bullied me, you made me cry!" Athena cried.
"..."
The bond between a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law can easily lead to trouble, Ye Chen felt he was in for something.
"Come on, stop crying!" Ye Chen urged again.
Athena always maintained a cool demeanor, suddenly bursting into tears was hard to take.
"I can stop crying, but on the condition you answer a question!" Athena stopped her tears and said.
"Alright!" Ye Chen agreed helplessly.
"How did you and Yalina get together?" Athena asked her question.
