Chapter 4: The Coming-of-Age Ceremony Begins, Here Comes the Son of Luck!:
“Very well. For tomorrow’s matter regarding the Divine Son, make the necessary arrangements,” the Emperor, seated in the main hall, commanded.
After the elders left, the Emperor waved his hand, summoning the Qi of Chaos, which enveloped them in a protective formation.
His gaze rested on Di Tian, filled with a mix of complexity and guilt.
Di Tian had been born with innate demonic energy. Though the Emperor had sealed it, the energy would gradually recover as Di Tian cultivated. Determined to protect his son at all costs, even if it meant opposing the entire Divine Realm, the Emperor had prepared for this eventuality.
Looking at Di Tian now, he sensed something different. With trembling hands, the Emperor finally spoke, “My son, you…”
Despite his noble and powerful status, at this moment, he was just a father.
Di Tian smiled warmly, his expression kind. In his previous life, he had been an orphan, never experiencing parental love. This familial connection was something he deeply cherished.
“Father, I’m fine. I can control the demonic energy within me now,” Di Tian assured him.
The Emperor’s body trembled, and then he laughed heartily. “Good, very good!”
Relief washed over him as he heard those words.
“Your mother will return tomorrow,” the Emperor added. “Make sure to make her happy.”
Di Tian nodded.
“By the way, that girl from the Ye family, the one you divorced, has returned. Her Supreme Bone is even more powerful now. What do you plan to do? Should we send someone to deal with her directly?”
Di Tian paused, momentarily stunned. His father truly fit the role of the Emperor Family’s head—decisive and ruthless.
“Father, leave this matter to me. I’ll handle it myself,” Di Tian replied.
“Very well. If you need anything, let me know,” the Emperor said.
Di Tian walked out of the hall, a gentle smile on his face.
“Father, Mother…” he murmured softly. “I won’t let this life be disturbed. You sons of luck are so troublesome.”
He clenched his fists. “Villain or not, if it means preserving this family bond, you sons of luck can go to hell. This time, I’ll be the one moving the pieces on the chessboard.”
…
The next morning.
The entire Emperor Family was bustling with activity. Today marked the Divine Son’s coming-of-age ceremony, a monumental event.
Announcements echoed through the Emperor Family’s estate.
“The Shangguan Family has arrived!”
As in-laws of the Emperor Family, the Shangguan Family naturally arrived first.
An elder from the Emperor Family greeted an elder from the Shangguan Family with a teasing grin. “Still alive, old man? Haven’t you entered the grave yet?”
The elder from the Shangguan Family chuckled. “You’re still kicking around too, aren’t you?”
They laughed heartily, exchanging playful banter.
“The Great Cloud Empire has arrived!”
The prince of the Great Cloud Empire entered, only to stop short upon seeing the Shangguan Family. He had thought his group would be the first to arrive.
“The Shocking Temple and Zhentian Temple have arrived!”
Hearing this announcement, everyone paused. These two forces had been at odds for generations.
As expected, the elders of the two factions exchanged sharp, hostile glares. But the moment they caught sight of the Emperor Family’s elders, their animosity dissipated.
Even these powerful factions didn’t dare to act recklessly before the Emperor Family. The true might of the Emperor Family was known only to the hegemonic forces of the Divine Realm.
“The Misty Sect and the Infinite Sect have arrived!”
“The Gu Family, Mo Family, and Nangong Family have arrived!”
“The Ye Family has arrived!”
This last announcement caused a ripple of surprise among the gathered guests. A playful curiosity filled the air.
The feud between the Emperor Family and the Ye Family was legendary. The humiliation of the Ye Family by the Emperor Family’s Divine Son was still fresh in everyone’s memory. Though the Emperor Family had offered compensation, a tarnished reputation was not easily restored.
Rumors swirled that Ye Liuli, the Ye Family’s young genius, had returned stronger than ever. Many were eager to see the confrontation between the two prodigies.
The elder of the Ye Family, exuding an immortal-like aura, approached the Emperor Family’s elder with a calm demeanor. Despite their history, he maintained a facade of peace, displaying the polished tact of an experienced diplomat.
All eyes turned to the woman behind the Ye Family elder.
Her figure was graceful, her shoulders delicate, and her waist slender. Her brows were like green feathers, and her skin was as white as snow. Dressed in purple, her outfit accentuated her elegant curves.
Many young disciples from other families couldn’t hide their admiration, their gazes filled with desire.
Beside her stood a young man. His attire was simple, but his presence was magnetic. His aura was no less striking than that of the Ye Family’s Little Princess, and he carried an inexplicable confidence that made him seem capable of achieving anything.
The leaders of the gathered forces exchanged glances, silently acknowledging the young man’s extraordinary temperament.
Chu Fan, standing beside Ye Liuli, looked at her with a mix of admiration and possessiveness. Today, she appeared more radiant than ever.
“Soon, you’ll be mine,” he thought, a confident smile flashing on his lips. “Today, I’ll trample the Divine Son who once humiliated you. I, Chu Fan, am the only one worthy of you.”
His confidence didn’t go unnoticed. Many young women in the crowd looked at Chu Fan with admiration, further fueling his pride.
“The Genting Heavenly Palace has arrived!”
This announcement caught everyone’s attention. While not a hegemonic force, Genting Heavenly Palace was a step above first-class forces. Most notably, it was the faction of Di Tian’s mother, a goddess from the Shangguan Family and a wielder of creation powers.
“The Vice President of Tianshan Academy has arrived!”
Gasps filled the air. Tianshan Academy was a legendary institution in the Divine Realm, known for nurturing countless prodigies. Its participation in such ceremonies was rare, highlighting the Emperor Family’s unparalleled status.
“The Heavenly Dao Sect has arrived!”
This announcement caused an uproar. The Heavenly Dao Sect, self-proclaimed as the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, wielded immense influence. They were known for their arrogance but had the strength to back it up, with an ancestor who once suppressed a chaotic era.
The Emperor Family sent out a Holy Emperor Realm expert to greet the Heavenly Dao Sect, a gesture that spoke volumes about their respect for each other’s power.
As other first- and second-rate forces arrived, they were led by ordinary deacons of the Emperor Family. Even this simple acknowledgment left these forces flattered and deeply honored.
