After playing with Eve for a while longer, Chen Hao finally let her go, got dressed, and left the room. By then, the breakfast in the dining room had gotten a little cold.
"Oh, so you've finally decided to get out of bed? I thought you, you unrestrained lecher, would stay out with Eve until noon."
As soon as Noren saw Chen Hao coming down the stairs from her chair at the dining table, she launched into her usual sarcastic remarks, her tone sharp and volatile, like she was on fire.
That jerk! He finally got to come home last night and get some rest with his sister, and he still wouldn't let me have a moment's peace! How could I sleep with all that noise?!
Good morning, Noren.
Chen Hao greeted him with a smile. In a great mood, he didn't take Norren's sarcasm seriously. Besides, given the grudge between him and Norren, if Norren ever changed his mind and treated him kindly, Chen Hao would suspect that there was something fishy going on.
"Everyone seems to have gone out to do something, but you, it's already this late and you still haven't gone to handle government affairs?"
As Chen Hao went downstairs, he looked around the room and found that Kreeher, Freya, Setsuna, and Tsukuyomi were not there. The only people in the house were the maids who were busy with housework and Noren, who seemed to be waiting for him at the dining table.
"Hmph, of course I'm staying home to wait for you to discuss something."
After Chen Hao sat down and started eating breakfast, Norren also took a small sip of the juice in front of him to moisten his throat.
"Your next move is to go to the Valley of the Divine Birds for the trial with Eve, right?"
"That's right."
When asked by Noren, Chen Hao, who was chewing on a sandwich, replied somewhat dismissively that this was the action plan he had set from the beginning.
"Then I advise you not to go."
"Huh? Why?"
Hearing Norren's words, Chen Hao was somewhat confused.
"Sigh... Idiot, are you still half asleep and confused, or have you just not wanted to think lately because I've been around...?"
Noren sighed and shook her head, looking utterly exasperated. Why had she ever fallen for this guy before?
"Thinking about too many things all day is exhausting..."
Chen Hao, having exhausted too much of his mental energy resurrecting the Blackwing Clan, really didn't want to think about anything anymore.
"Sigh... First, let me ask you, what will you and Eve gain after completing the divine bird's trial?"
"I will receive the [Time Eye] bestowed by the divine bird, which grants me the ability to foresee a brief future. Eve will gain the divine bird's approval and will be able to summon it to aid in battle, but at the cost of her lifespan, and can only summon it a maximum of three times..."
Chen Hao recalled the information from the original work and answered Noren's question. Upon closer reflection, he realized that something was indeed amiss.
"Then think about it again. Do you really need that ability to foresee the future, which is only a few seconds long? Do you really lack a weapon of mass destruction like the divine bird? Are you really willing to let Eve sacrifice her lifespan to summon the divine bird for help?"
Noren once again posed a sharp question, getting straight to the point.
"Um, it seems like... we don't really need it."
Chen Hao scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed.
While he couldn't predict the future within seconds, he could simulate future events through intense mental calculations, and achieving a similar effect wouldn't be a problem.
Although the Divine Bird is a life-destroying force capable of destroying nations or even the world, Chen Hao's ultimate Nen ability, [Black Star], which simulates a black hole, far surpasses the Divine Bird in destructive power, so there is no need for another weapon of mass destruction.
Eve had to pay the price of her lifespan to summon the divine bird. Although the loss of lifespan could be compensated for with restorative magic, Chen Hao felt he would try his best to avoid situations where Eve would have to summon the divine bird.
In that case, it seems like going to the divine bird trial was a complete waste of time...
"I've become this strong without even realizing it..."
"So instead of going through some divine bird trial, why not just sweep across the world, unify all races and nations, and then you can freely reshape the world into whatever you want it to be?"
Noren squinted and smiled, looking like a little devil leading people astray.
"That's not impossible. Then I'll clone more [Atast] and [Treant Giants], and once we have enough troops and logistics, we'll start sweeping across the world."
Chen Hao waved his hand helplessly. Who among his family members understands? He had only rested for a few days before he was going to work himself to the bone again. He was the boss, so why did he live like an employee?
"By the way, during the few days you were resting, the chieftain of the Blackwing Clan came by. He said that to express his gratitude, he was going to give you their clan's most precious treasure. I accepted it on your behalf. Would you like to take a look?"
As Noren spoke, he pointed to a black box on the coffee table in the living room.
"The Blackwing Clan's most precious treasure? Let me guess, the egg of a divine bird?"
Chen Hao waved his hand and used his magic to pull the box over. When he opened it, sure enough, inside the velvet-lined box was an egg the size of a human head. This was the only treasure the Blackwing Clan had left.
"You know how to hatch this egg, right? I won't go into details."
Noren pursed his lips, clearly annoyed by Chen Hao's air of knowing everything.
"If enough magic is injected, a divine beast can be hatched. I remember it was supposed to hatch into a cute little fox named Red Lotus."
If Chen Hao remembered correctly, the little fox later transformed into human form and was pushed by Kaiyar.
