The moment He Xie shouted "Bankai," the Zanpakuto in his hand shone with dazzling light, blinding everyone.
Sensing danger, the middle-aged man immediately stopped and took a few steps back.
Those mythical, ancient alien races standing high in the sky also kept their distance from the orphanage with a mixture of fear and apprehension, afraid that they might be in danger.
It's not that they were cowardly; it's just that the Zanpakuto in He Xie's Bankai form was too terrifying. The light emanating from the blade made their souls tremble.
"What kind of knife is that?"
The middle-aged man suppressed his anger at the thought of avenging his son as much as possible and asked with a gloomy expression.
He Xie laughed as well, slowly walking towards him while holding the knife, his tone playful: "Why should I tell you?"
The middle-aged man was on high alert, ready to unleash his full power at any moment.
At that moment, Liu Yan's voice came from behind He Xie: "Li Niansheng, you actually succeeded in becoming a god?"
It was only then that she recognized the middle-aged man's identity, and her face showed dissatisfaction and disbelief.
Li Niansheng was a general in the Imperial Palace back then.
He was known throughout the human race for his diligence and eagerness to learn.
Despite not possessing exceptional talent, he persevered and evolved to the legendary ninth rank through sheer hard work, crushing countless prodigies and becoming a general in the Human Emperor's Palace.
However, due to his lack of talent, he could only reach the ninth level of the legendary realm and could never take that final step in his entire life.
Now, this general of the Human Emperor Palace, who was once the epitome of diligence making up for lack of talent, has actually evolved to the mythical level!
Moreover, he wasn't just any ordinary mythical-level expert, but a mid-level mythical-level expert!
Liu Yan didn't understand this and found it very unbelievable.
The middle-aged man, Li Niansheng, whom Liu Yan had just mentioned, sneered and said, "Heh, Palace Master Liu, this is the importance of making the right choice."
"If I had chosen to oppose the Beast Kings of all races like you did back then, I probably would have turned to ashes by now."
"However, I chose to ally with them and gained their resources, so I became a god, ten or even a hundred times stronger than you at your peak!"
As he uttered this last sentence, Li Niansheng's face gradually became somewhat ferocious, as if he were recalling some memories from the past that made him particularly angry.
Liu Yan looked down on his choice and bluntly retorted, "You scum who sells out your race for personal gain! Even if you evolve to the high-level mythical realm in the future, you are destined to be a lackey of all races for the rest of your life!"
"He has no future."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Xie instantly flashed in front of Li Niansheng and stabbed him through the chest.
The next second, Li Niansheng's eyes went dark, and he fell straight to the ground, losing all signs of life.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Yeguo Reading (yeguoyuedu). Install the latest version.
Although his physical body appeared intact, his seven souls and six spirits were shattered, and he was even deprived of the chance to be reincarnated, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Upon hearing of Li Niansheng's death, all the mythical beast kings high in the sky were instantly filled with fear.
They had absolutely no idea how He Xie had managed to kill Li Niansheng with a single blow.
That death was too bizarre.
They can't guarantee that they can withstand the same blow.
This is the place that scares them the most.
"Buzz—"
A whooshing sound rang out.
He Xie, who was originally standing on the ground, suddenly soared into the sky and flew rapidly towards the group of beast kings in the sky.
Then, a flash of light appeared.
In an instant, all of the dozen or so beast kings that were standing in the sky died instantly and fell freely from the sky, crashing into the orphanage.
Each beast king's corpse was extremely large, almost blotting out the sky.
If it were to fall, the entire orphanage would likely be reduced to ruins.
"Master, move the corpse away quickly!"
Seeing the beast king corpses getting closer and closer to the ground in the sky, Su Jiu'er below shouted anxiously.
Actually, she didn't need to ask; He Xie would have handled it himself.
His mental energy surged, and in the next second, he transformed into a streak of light, weaving through the corpses of those beast kings.
"Devour!"
As soon as the command was given, the beast king's corpse in the air vanished into thin air.
They all transformed into streams of high-energy light, which surged into He Xie's Heavenly Gate and were completely absorbed.
By devouring the corpses of so many mythical creatures at once, He Xie gained countless amounts of health and spiritual power, and his biological level directly evolved to the ninth rank of mythology, making him the pinnacle of mythology in this era.
"winter--"
He Xie fell from the sky, creating a loud bang on the ground.
At this moment, the long-awaited system character creation task appeared.
[Ding-dong!]
[Task: Develop a savior persona.]
You are the savior of humanity, leading us single-handedly to victory over the ancient alien races and restoring humanity to its position as the dominant species on Earth.
[Reward: Fruit of the Creator.]
"Defeat the ancient alien races?"
He Xie was a little confused. Hadn't he just wiped out all the beast kings of the myriad races?
Why should we lead the human race to defeat the ancient alien races?
There are probably still some who slipped through the net.
......
In the days to come.
He Xie traveled to every corner of the earth, striking hard against every ancient alien race he encountered.
Those who were willing to submit were enslaved by the beast king of their race using their essence and blood, and their every move was monitored at all times, without being exterminated.
Those who refuse to submit will either be killed until they submit, or their entire clan will be exterminated.
During this time, they visited the Wanhua Clan and, at An Ruoli's warm invitation, went in to experience the local customs and culture. That evening, they also had a taste of An Ruoli's charms, making up for the regret of missing out on their first love.
The feeling was no different from that of humans, except that An Ruoli had a natural floral fragrance that made him feel refreshed and relaxed.
Half a month later, all the ancient alien races on Earth submitted to He Xie.
He was able to complete the mission set by the savior and obtain the fruit of the creator.
After consuming the fruit, the creature's level evolved once again, reaching a completely new realm—the Creation-level creature.
Having evolved to the level of creation, He Xie discovered that his abilities had broken through the limits of Earth and arrived at the unknown cosmic level.
It truly achieved the ability to fly through the air and burrow underground, to shatter stars with a single punch, and even to transform the ocean in a single thought and turn the land into mulberry fields in a single year.
He can be called the creator of our time.
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
For the past two weeks, Chen Yuntong has been pestering He Xie every day, just like always, and frequently coming to the orphanage uninvited to bring him food.
He Xie is a normal man; he would have those kinds of thoughts about women.
Chen Yuntong kept flaunting herself in front of him, offering to give him everything. Finally, one day he couldn't take it anymore and decided to grant Chen Yuntong's wish, letting her experience the wonderful taste of love.
Time flies, and another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Since breaking up with Lin Chuchu, He Xie has never been in a relationship again. At most, he had some ambiguous relationships with Chen Yuntong and An Ruoli. Apart from that, he spent his time at home with Su Jiu'er studying for their daily work.
He originally thought that he would remain single for the rest of his life.
Until this day, Lin Xiaoxiao came to the orphanage to chat with Zhao Keying, and then secretly found him and told him that Lin Chuchu was pregnant.
......
The next day, at the Lin Family Manor.
He Xie, along with his adoptive mother, sisters, and other relatives, went to Lin Nianfan's house to propose marriage.
Lin Nianfan was overjoyed.
His beloved daughter, Lin Chuchu, hid in her room and refused to come out, no matter what.
He Xie knew she was just being stubborn, so he went into her room without saying a word.
"I told you to come in!"
Upon seeing He Xie enter, Lin Chuchu, who was sitting on the bed looking at her phone, immediately put on a sour face.
He Xie originally intended to be swayed by gentle persuasion rather than force, but upon seeing Lin Chuchu's slightly protruding belly, he immediately scurried over to fawn over her.
"Don't touch me!"
Lin Chuchu was still saying one thing and meaning another.
He Xie pretended not to hear and carefully got into bed to hug her.
When Lin Chuchu opened her mouth to continue saying one thing but meaning another, he kissed her to shut her up.
After this happened a few times, Lin Chuchu burst into tears.
Her attitude softened immediately, and she cried to He Xie about how painful it had been since the breakup, saying that He Xie didn't know how to be considerate of her at all.
Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, He Xie admitted all his mistakes tonight.
After all, Lin Chuchu was carrying his child, and in his heart, she was now equal to his adoptive mother, sisters, and cousins, becoming his true family.
One month later.
The two families chose a suitable day and held a simple wedding at the orphanage.
Of course, the simplicity of this wedding refers to the small number of attendees.
But the wedding ceremony itself can be quite grand.
To put it simply, it's like a shower of flowers from heaven.
Whatever scenery Lin Chuchu wanted to see, He Xie could use his creation abilities to create it for her out of thin air.
......
Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.
What was originally an orphanage for seven people has, under He Xie's careful management over the past few years, developed into a large family with three generations living together.
There are already six children, including Li Muke, who is only nine years old.
Two of them were born to Lin Chuchu; both were lovely daughters, one resembling her father and the other her mother.
As for the remaining three, they were all little girls. One had a fluffy tail swaying behind her, one had a naturally fragrant scent and a cool face, and one was petite, cute, and timid.
"Thank you, I made some cookies. Come in and try them!"
He Xie was lying on the bamboo bed in the courtyard, resting with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard Chen Yuntong calling him from inside the house.
Hearing the sound, he got up, stretched, yawned, and walked into the house, following the sound Chen Yuntong had just made to the kitchen.
Just as I found a seat and sat down to try the cookies Chen Yuntong had made, a cool yet tender voice soon rang out in the living room: "Thank you, I've brewed a pot of herbal tea. Why don't you take out the cookies and eat them while you drink the tea? It'll quench your thirst better."
"Okay, coming right away."
As He Xie spoke, he picked up a few cookies and walked towards An Ruoli in the living room.
As soon as he entered the living room, Lin Chuchu's voice came from upstairs: "He Xie, both of your daughters have wet the bed. Come up and help clean them up."
"Coming right away!"
He Xie responded and immediately went upstairs, being ordered around by the woman in the room like a puppet.
But he didn't feel tired at all; at most, he just felt a happy kind of trouble.
After he went up to the second floor, the first floor did not become quiet.
Because her second younger sister, Gu Xinyao, was also watching TV in the living room with the volume turned up very high, she could often hear the melodramatic conversations between the male and female leads.
Meanwhile, there was also the third younger sister, Li Muke, who stayed in the kitchen, pestering Chen Yuntong for food. She would habitually speak in a high-pitched voice, making a terrible racket.
He went up to the second floor and entered his and Lin Chuchu's room.
He Xie saw many people inside, including Liu Yan, Zhao Keying, Song Yuxin, and Su Jiu'er.
Liu Yan sat in the middle, changing diapers for Lin Chuchu's two daughters with practiced ease. As she did so, she said to the girls beside her, "You all watch carefully and learn from her. Don't be a girl who can't even change a baby's diaper."
Lin Chuchu helped change the clothes and smiled at Liu Yan, saying, "It's a good thing Aunt Liu is here, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to manage by myself."
The remaining three girls, Su Jiu'er, Zhao Keying, and Song Yuxin, each held a baby in their arms and were attentively observing Liu Yan's live teaching.
Among them, Su Jiu'er was holding her own precious daughter, a cute one-year-old who only knew how to look down and play with her own tail.
Zhao Keying was holding Chen Yuntong's daughter, a little girl who was just over a year and a half old. She was a bit shy and often sucked her fingers.
Song Yuxin was holding An Ruoli's daughter, a well-behaved baby who was only eight months old. She rarely cried from birth and was very quiet and aloof, much like her mother.
Looking at the scene in the room, He Xie felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.
Seeing him standing outside the door watching the show, Liu Yan turned around and said to him, "You're a father now, don't you know how to spend more time with your daughter?"
"Aunt Liu, you're so capable. It's much better to have you take care of them than to have me do it myself."
He Xie laughed shamelessly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I worked so hard to raise you, and in the end I still have to help you raise your daughter. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to raise a cucumber instead."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
In this family, if you're asking who can control He Xie, that little rascal, it has to be Liu Yan.
Looking at the happy family scene before him, He Xie couldn't help but laugh along.
This is the life he's always dreamed of.
It's full of everyday life, simple yet blissful.
......
The End.
