Zhou Xingdou had expected his words to startle his father, but to his surprise, Zhou Qingdi was only somewhat delighted and not overly astonished.

"Great! Doesn't that mean you've surpassed your old man?"

Upon seeing this, Stephen Chow smiled, but it was more of a wry smile:

"Yes, and once we obtain the power to unify the Heavenly Dao, Mom and Dad will be able to leave."

How could Emperor Zhou Qing not see the bitterness in his son's smile? He asked:

What are you worried about?

Zhou Xingdou looked up at the sky, bewildered, and said:

“I don’t know if this is a good thing. I accepted that power and I am going to go to the depths of chaos. My disciple said that only I can suppress ‘it’. If I’m not mistaken, ‘it’ should be chaos itself, one of only two beings in the Tai Realm, the one that corresponds to the Great Dao.”

When his father said that there were only two beings in the Great Realm, the Great Dao and Chaos, Zhou Xingdou almost understood who that "it" was.

The word "chaos" has appeared too many times in my life. The Chaos Cult refers to demons as "chaotic beings" after they are killed.

The Great Dao is weakened by the suppression of the Heavenly Court, and Xiao Tianzuo, as the strongest unifier under the Great Dao, can be corrupted and killed by anyone.

The answer is obvious.

Emperor Zhou Qing lay down beside Zhou Xingdou, covered his son with his outer robe, and then said lovingly:

"Mom and Dad don't care whether we can leave or not. If you want to use that power to take on the responsibility, we support you. If you don't want to take on the responsibility, Mom and Dad will still support you. Even if we can't leave the Heavenly Dao Holy Domain, as long as our family is together, that's enough."

Zhou Xingdou tightened his body and leaned closer to his father:

"But I want to avenge my disciple. He died under mysterious circumstances, but I still have many things to do, many questions to figure out, and I'm not ready yet..."

That's life; it doesn't make you fully prepared. Your mother and I weren't ready to be parents either; we even wondered if we could be good fathers.

Back then, your mom was always worried that she would get old after giving birth to you. You've seen it yourself; she still feels like she's eighteen.

But the moment you were born, all my hesitation and worry vanished, and all I wanted to do was shower you with all my love.

Zhou Qingdi smiled and spoke to his son, his bright eyes radiating a gentle light that soothed Zhou Xingdou's restlessness.

"It's just a pity that I couldn't be there to watch you grow up, to shelter you from the storms of life, to teach you, or to guide you in your cultivation..."

Even so, you still allow me to proudly say to others: 'Yes, this is my son, Zhou Xingdou, the son of Zhou Qingdi.'"

"Actually, I don't want you to shoulder any burdens. I just hope you live a peaceful and safe life, and that I can shield you from all the storms that come your way."

But at this point, Zhou Qingdi's eyes deepened:

"But... as your father, I also secretly hope that my son will be a man of integrity who will not run away from responsibility."

Hearing his father's words, Zhou Xingdou fell silent, and after a long while, his gaze became firm:

"I will not run away; I will do what I should do!"

Emperor Zhou Qing smiled with satisfaction and patted his son on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, if it's death, let your father die first."

Having said that, Emperor Zhou Qing sighed again and sat up:

"Don't tell your mom about this. She can't help, and she'll only worry."

"Okay, Dad..."

...

On this day, the Creation Palace finally successfully transformed the last three slaves of creation, and all eighteen palace guardians were gathered here.

...

【Creation Palace】(18/18)

Goddess of Creation: Du Yu (1/1). [80% combat power]

True Women of Creation: Yue Shuhua, Qi Ye'er, Tang Yuehua, Eastern Pope, A Yin, Xiao Rou (6/6). [60% combat power]

Slaves of Creation: Gan Mengli, Gan Tianmeng, Luo Xiangjun, Yu Xu, Qi Ling'er, Leng Ruoruo, Xue Binghe, Xiao Qiaoqiao, Ao Run, Hun Xiao, Fan Huahong. (11/11). [Peak of the Emperor]

...

Zhou Xingdou looked at the panel of the Creation God Palace, but he did not feel much joy, because he knew that this thing was probably no longer useful.

[Ding! The Creation Palace's fortune is complete; the Creator has been successfully conceived!]

boom!

The Creation Palace within Zhou Xingdou's body burst forth uncontrollably, its surface shimmering with light, eighteen figures guarding the palace flickering, and a huge pink light source emerging from its center.

The light faded in an instant, and an extremely alluring figure emerged from it.

The moment this figure appeared, the eighteen stunningly beautiful palace guards paled in comparison.

At this moment, delicate beauty becomes blandness, cuteness becomes childishness, elegance becomes rigidity, and plumpness becomes greasy.

Zhou Xingdou was slightly taken aback when he saw the figure.

The rosy clouds, like a garment, half-conceal spring; every frown and smile stirs the world.

Even someone who's seen and tasted Stephen Chow's food wouldn't utter a single sigh of admiration. He's really damn good.

What intrigued Zhou Xingdou even more was what kind of creation this Lord of Creation was.

Before Zhou Xingdou could ask a question, the extremely alluring woman knelt gracefully before him and said in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"The Record of Beauties greets Master, and thanks Master for restoring my foundation!"

That soft, seductive voice made Zhou Xingdou shudder, but his eyes were filled with shock.

A Record of Flowers?

The system then took the opportunity to explain:

[Ding! The Record of Beauties actually perished while protecting its host from the erosion of time, but the system couldn't bear to tell the host, so it used the Creation Palace as a foundation to allow the host to infuse it with eighteen Heavenly Fates, thus reshaping the Record of Beauties' original spirit.]

Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow and asked the system:

"So, my 'Record of Beauties Across the Myriad Realms' is gone?"

[Ding! This can be interpreted as the Host's "Record of Beauties" being an empty shell storing a martial soul world; it's no longer useful.]

"No wonder, no wonder there hasn't been any movement until now. You didn't even say how to make it recover. So this is what you were waiting for."

Zhou Xingdou suddenly realized, but he could only accept it. After all, compared to the cold and impersonal Record of Beauties of Myriad Realms, the living person in front of him was much more real.

What surprised Zhou Xingdou even more was that he couldn't see the realm of the "Record of Beauties" clearly, so he couldn't help but ask:

What level of cultivation are you at?

The Record of Beauties raised her face, which had brought chaos to the world, and parted her crimson lips slightly to say:

"Although I lost my original body, I also benefited from the misfortune. With the help of the Creation God Palace and the source of the Record of Flowers, I stepped into the Great Luo Profound Realm."

"Goodness."

Zhou Xingdou's eyes lit up. He had suddenly gained a beautiful concubine under his command, which was much more cost-effective than the "Record of Beauties." He was very satisfied and said:

“That’s good, but ‘Qunfanglu’ is too difficult to pronounce. From now on, you’ll be called Zhou Fanghua.”

But just then, a knock sounded at the door. Zhou Xingdou's expression changed. If his parents were to keep their mistresses hidden away, he would be too ashamed to face anyone. He quickly took Zhou Fanghua and the other Zhen Gong back into the Creation God Palace.

But instead of his parents' voices, it was Wang Zi's aged voice coming from outside the door:

"Star Emperor, this old servant has brought Yunmu to pay my respects to you today."
