Five years into their marriage, Ye Xianya and Qi Chengshuo had no children.
Firstly, the two of them were focused on cultivation and didn't have much time to spend together. Secondly... the stronger they were, the harder it was to have offspring.
Take Yi Tian and Lan Chenyin for example. When they got married, Yi Tian was already a God King and Lan Chenyin was a High God. It was only after they had been married for tens of thousands of years that they had a child named Qi Chengshuo.
Later, Yunluo married Yitian. At that time, she was just an immortal and had not yet become a god, which made it easier for her to conceive. In addition, Yitian specially found some fertility-enhancing treasures for Yunluo, and the two of them gave birth to three children in succession.
This is extremely rare even in the realm of gods.
However, their three sons were not as talented as Qi Chengshuo.
Ye Xianya and Qi Chengshuo weren't in a hurry; they had plenty of time ahead of them.
...
As the saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
As the master of this world, it would be easy for Qi Chengshuo to make his loved ones become immortals.
He only needs to give them some primal power to comprehend.
However, only a few people receive the gifts; they are all their closest relatives.
Qi Chengshuo did not listen to Lan Chenyin and rushed to the Great World to see his father Yi Tian. Instead, he stayed in the human world to accompany Ye Xianya and the others.
Ye Xianya is no longer in a hurry to ascend to immortality; she is reluctant to leave her mother.
Qi Chengshuo said that with her current strength, she should be able to become an immortal in a short time after ascending to the upper realm.
However, one must establish a stable realm in the upper realm.
A day in heaven is a year on earth.
By the time she finishes her cultivation, several decades will likely have passed in the mortal realm.
She wanted to spend more time with her family.
Qi Chengshuo's grandfather and mother both received the power of the origin and embarked on the path of cultivation.
Qi Jiu and Ye Miaoyun are the same.
Ye Xianya planned to wait a few years before going to the Upper Realm with them.
She used to dream of attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven, but now she's quite calm.
Moreover... the stronger one is, the harder it is to have children. Perhaps if they work hard in the mortal realm for a few years, they will have good news.
If she were to become an immortal or a god, that would be a long way off.
However, this was destined to disappoint her.
Several years later, when Ye Xianya ascended to the Immortal Realm, the two still had no children.
Qi Chengshuo said that this was perfectly normal, so Ye Xianya didn't pay any attention to it.
Anyway, she and Qi Chengshuo both have endless lives, so they can wait.
...
As soon as Qi Chengshuo and Ye Xianya returned, Lan Chenyin couldn't wait to come over.
"Shuo'er, when do you plan to go to the Great World? Your father learned that you have returned to your divine position and your strength has improved. He sent someone to look for you a few days ago, but unfortunately you have been staying in the lower realm and neglecting your important matters. I..." Lan Chenyin had not finished speaking when she found that she could not make a sound.
That damned little bastard actually cast a spell on her.
That's utterly disobedient and unfilial.
“I’m different from you. You want the highest position, while all I want is to be with my family and live a peaceful life,” Qi Chengshuo said calmly.
In his previous life, not long after he was born, Lan Chenyin accompanied Yi Tian to the Void.
Actually, she didn't have to go, because Yi Tian was so powerful that he didn't need Lan Chenyin's help at all. If she went, she would only be a burden.
But Lan Chenyin valued her husband very much, and was willing to stay by Yi Tian's side even if it meant neglecting their newborn child.
Lan Chenyin asked her maid Yunluo to take care of Qi Chengshuo. When she returned, it was more than a hundred years later.
Yunluo raised Qi Chengshuo, giving him motherly care and warmth.
Later, Yunluo married Yitian and became Qi Chengshuo's stepmother, and gave birth to three younger brothers for him.
But Yunluo still cared for him as before. Moreover, Yunluo did not compete with Lan Chenyin for a man. She was with Yitian only after a thousand years since Lan Chenyin and Yitian separated.
Qi Chengshuo did not want to get involved in the affairs of his elders.
Having regained his memories, Qi Chengshuo naturally knew why his father had insisted on separating from Lan Chenyin.
Because this woman tricked him the second time the couple set foot in the Void.
That time, they encountered a deadly crisis. When Yi Tian risked his life to protect her, Lan Chenyin struck him in the chest with her palm, pushing him behind her and letting Yi Tian bear the burst of the void power alone, while she escaped for her life.
As it turned out, Yi Tianfu was incredibly lucky and emerged alive from the void.
He certainly couldn't keep such a heartless woman.
Similarly, this kind of mother also made Qi Chengshuo feel depressed.
He didn't like being with Lan Chenyin.
Lan Chenyin used to always mock him, saying that he had mistaken a thief for his mother.
Little did she know that in her own heart, her mother was a selfish and cold-hearted person.
She was willing to use and abandon her husband and son for her own sake.
Yunluo, whom she disliked the most, was actually much more loyal and righteous than she was.
Having regained his memories, Qi Chengshuo was certain that Yunluo and her three younger brothers had never coveted the position of God King.
The father never intended for anyone else to inherit the throne.
That position has always been his.
At least in Qi Chengshuo's past understanding, his father Yi Tian did not show favoritism towards his three younger brothers.
"I will go see my father, but not now." After Qi Chengshuo finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Lan Chenyin was teleported away.
"Does she also live in this Emperor's Palace?" Ye Xianya asked.
"No." Qi Chengshuo shook his head: "She has her own shrine. This is just where we live. Without permission, even she cannot come here again."
Lan Chenyin is not a good person, and Qi Chengshuo cannot give her the opportunity to make things difficult for Ye Xianya.
"Now that you're an immortal, you're considered quite powerful in the Heavenly Court of our small world. Would you like a divine position?" Qi Chengshuo asked with a smile.
"No." Ye Xianya shook her head.
Once you've taken up a priesthood, you'll be busy.
For example, becoming a thunder god or a water god, although there is a salary, such as elixirs or spirit stones, is also very busy.
"Just kidding," Qi Chengshuo laughed.
Ye Xianya is his wife, so of course she doesn't need to take on any religious duties; that would be too busy.
"We'll head to the Great World after Father sends me a message. We don't need to listen to Lan Chenyin." Even after regaining his memories, Qi Chengshuo still addressed Lan Chenyin by her given name, showing that she wasn't even considered family to him.
He vividly remembered that sword strike.
To prevent herself from giving the treasure to her second son to save his life, Lan Chenyin used the most extreme method, directly stabbing him with a sword. She kept saying it was for his own good, but in reality, it was just to satisfy her own selfish desires.
Fortunately, the father had other treasures that could save the second son's life; otherwise, he would have lost a brother.
He watched his three younger brothers grow up, so of course he wanted them to be well.
Although they are half-brothers, they have a very good relationship.
Moreover, Yunluo did not wrong Lan Chenyin.
The idea that a maid seduces her master into bed is just Lan Chenyin's wishful thinking.
