"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
Li Qianxia was all smiles and laughter. During the banquet, she changed her clothes several times, even wearing a tank top and hot pants that showed off her long, beautiful legs.
Unfortunately, she is already a saint, so no one will think she is beautiful, has a slim waist, or long legs.
The beings below the saint level can only worship her and can only feel her holiness.
Yaochi was all smiles, clearly enjoying the banquet, but despite her approachable demeanor, she was the most saintly person in her heart.
Yang Qinglan, dressed in green, stood beside Li Changzhou without saying a word, only occasionally chatting and laughing with Li Qianxia, Yaochi, and Chang'e.
Yang Tianlu approached his parents somewhat embarrassedly.
He's almost thirty, but he still looks like a teenager. He's married fourteen wives, who all came with him.
Before they could even exchange greetings, Li Qianxia burst into laughter.
Yaochi was also watching Yang Qinglan make a fool of herself.
"Good lad!" Li Changzhou chuckled and patted Yang Tianlu on the shoulder.
“Dad.” The sense of unfamiliarity in Yang Tianlu’s heart disappeared instantly.
"You're way more carefree than me. Have fun, and I'll personally train you when you're 50."
"Huh?! I plan to start serious cultivation ten million years from now!"
"I have no objection. You should ask your mother if she agrees."
Yang Qinglan looked at Yang Tianlu and said, "I want to beat you to death."
Yang Tianlu trembled with fear, feeling the heavy weight of the mother-son bond as his mother stared at him expressionlessly.
"Mom, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Qing, this is Eve, this is Qingshan Riko..."
"This kid's a stamp collector!" (Li Qianxia couldn't stand it anymore and complained telepathically.)
People from all over the world are represented, as well as fairies, ancient people, and beauties from other worlds.
"Hello, Dad and Mom," Yang Tianlu's fourteenth wife said nervously.
"Let's stop here," Yang Qinglan said.
The fourteen people felt a chill in their hearts.
Yang Qinglan continued, "From now on, you all need to keep a close eye on him. If he dares to cause trouble again, come and report me directly."
The fourteen daughters-in-law received a wisp of divine power.
"Thank you, Mom!" the fourteenth daughter-in-law said at the same time.
Yang Qinglan revealed a beautiful smile, knowing about their past and their experiences with Tianlu, but didn't talk much about it.
“Mother, may I ask you a question?” asked Eve, the blonde with blue eyes.
"Ask away."
"Can a sage really know everything?"
The others were also curious.
Yang Qinglan smiled faintly, captivating all her daughters-in-law.
She said, "Sages cannot know everything; sages simply allow most things to develop according to their own ideas."
She suddenly turned her head and saw Li Changzhou chatting with a beautiful young Taoist nun.
Noticing her gaze, Li Changzhou brought the young Taoist nun over.
"Qinglan, this is Shenxian'er," Li Changzhou introduced with a smile. "My last disciple, she has the potential to become a saint!"
The fairy blushed and quickly bowed.
Yang Qinglan looked her over and was extremely satisfied. He then gave her his jade cauldron and the "Big Bang of Faith".
Upon hearing the news, Li Qianxia came over and dragged Shenxian'er around to play.
Li Changzhou put his arm around Yang Qinglan's slender waist and said, "I'm not just saying this for fun; I really intend to pass on my magic to her."
"I can tell you cherish her a lot," Yang Qinglan said irritably.
Li Changzhou laughed heartily, feeling very happy and satisfied to have a disciple like Shenxian'er.
Chang'e and Yaochi came over and invited Yang Qinglan to go to the Guanghan Palace together for a small gathering of just a few people.
Finally, Chang'e politely asked Li Changzhou, "If the Heavenly Emperor is willing, he may also come along."
Li Changzhou waved his hand.
They're all female immortals, what is he going there for?
Li Qianxia also went, accompanied by Shenxian'er and a female immortal with an ethereal yet lively temperament, whose strength reached the level of a half-saint, and whose aura was both subtle and powerful.
Her bright smile and profile bear a resemblance to Li Qianxia.
Once they left, Li Changzhou was gradually left alone. He walked to the horizon, came to the Milky Way, and gazed at the deep space of the universe.
Behind him, the banquet was in full swing, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and Li Changzhou's clothes fluttered in the wind.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have no friends at all.
After a long silence, he finally said, "The lonely moon shines alone."
After the banquet, countless years passed.
When strange phenomena occur, such as cracks appearing in the void from time to time, sudden time distortions in a certain area, parallel universes piercing into the present world like knives, countless universes overlapping, and seas of blood engulfing the universe, then all living beings realize that the holy war has begun.
There were no more screens to show them the battle.
After a long time, and only after the strange phenomena had disappeared, a faint message finally came through—
The long day has come to an end.

"Bang!"
"Damn it!" Li Changzhou clutched his head, his face contorted in pain.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong?" Dong Ge, from bed number three, poked his head out and looked at Li Changzhou, who had fallen off the bed.
"Are you alright?" asked Big Yellow from bed number four, concerned.
The University of Minnesota dorms have a desk underneath and a bed underneath. They're not very tall, but there are chairs and other miscellaneous items underneath, so if you accidentally bump your head, you could really fall and die.
Chen Shao, in bed number one, gave a thumbs up: "Wow, even such a high railing can't hold you in; it'll make you fall off!"
Li Changzhou stood up, supporting his back, and mumbled, "I dreamed that I became the emperor of the universe."
"Frieza?"
"Want to play together? I watched a Yasuo tutorial last night, and my skills are amazing!"
"Brother-in-law, you only managed to win over Yang, the fairy from the philosophy department, and you dare to dream of becoming the emperor of the universe?"
Fairy Yang? Yang Qinglan!
Li Changzhou's mind cleared quickly. He climbed back into bed, picked up his charging phone, and said in the [Four Sisters (4)] chat group:
(Long Day: I'm awake!)
(Long Day: I dreamt that I became the emperor of the universe!)
(Qinglan: Didn't dream about me? I'll give you one more chance, go back to sleep.)
(Asatsuki: Eek!!)
(Qianxia: I got up early this morning to feed the dog, but now the dog doesn't eat breakfast anymore.)
(Yao: You're all up pretty early! Want to exercise together?) [Attached: picture of running on the track]
(Qianxia: I'm here! Bro, bring me breakfast!)
(Long Day: Let me tell you, I've truly become the emperor of the universe. So many saints have been slaughtered by me.)
(Qinglan: When I get married, you must have a premarital medical checkup, and also an additional mental health checkup.)
(Long day: ?)
(Yao: Stop dreaming)
(Qianxia: Hehehehe [malicious woman smirks], is Sister Yao telling Lanlan to stop dreaming, or is she telling my brother to stop dreaming?)
(Yao: Guess) [Laughs]
(Qinglan: @Changzhou, guess.)
(Shallow Summer: @Long Day, guess!)
(Long Day: ...I'm really killing indiscriminately)
