[You temporarily used your extraordinary wisdom to adapt Ning Jun's Venerable Origin System, adding a special ability of physical transformation, and then passed it on to him.]
[You transmit your thoughts telepathically: "Brother Ning, this is my little secret. Come, you will need to make some slight modifications to your cultivation path in the future. Do this and that, and you will be able to master the technique of turning one thorn into ten thousand thorns!"]
Ning Jun carefully comprehended the cultivation method you passed on, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. He suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Hey buddy, you're so straightforward! What are you waiting for? You can pick any of my princesses you want!"
You paused slightly. Ning Jun was the ruler of a country, so those princesses were naturally his daughters, granddaughters, or even a few generations younger: "This...this isn't appropriate, is it?"
He said nonchalantly, "We're brothers now, why worry about such things? We'll each mind our own business! We're practically family now, you can choose as many as you want, just take them home as concubines."
[...]
Afterwards, you met with Ning Jun's descendants.
They were all princesses of the same country, and all his descendants, but the vast majority were more than eighteen generations apart in terms of generation.
[The bloodline has been diluted over time, and the lineage has become increasingly distant with each generation. It could even be said that Ning Jun himself cannot be considered a close relative of them!]
They are mostly like political creatures specifically designed for arranged marriages, enjoying wealth and luxury from a young age, but also aware of their predetermined fate.
[There are simply too many descendants, and Ning Jun has virtually no emotional connection with them. He considers it an immense blessing if he even glances at their births.]
If they were his own children, especially his earliest biological children, then they would be worthy of his attention. But these children, separated by countless generations... are truly not as important as you in his eyes.
[Not as good as you, Brother Yun, who comes from the same hometown, is a fellow Supreme Being, and gets along very well with him.]
If someone is exceptionally talented and possesses outstanding abilities in a particular area, then those outstanding children from many generations ago are worth his attention. But as for those mediocre children… just be their kept women and don't think about anything else.
Their future lies in marriage alliances with other supreme powers, or marrying into the families of powerful rulers to strengthen ties.
You see thousands of beautiful women appearing before you.
[I've discovered that Ning Jun is very kind; he genuinely values you, and he's reciprocating in kind.]
[Among the thousands of people, those separated from him by countless generations were placed at the back. Standing at the front were his daughters or granddaughters born in recent years, some of whom possessed exceptional talent, having cultivated themselves to the Innate Realm in their thirties or forties.]
And they are all really beautiful.
You were initially a little hesitant, since you don't like playing aggressively.
But you soon discover that the vast majority of them are eagerly anticipating your selection, their eyes shining as they stare at you, hoping to be chosen.
【You are a supreme being, and one who got along very well with the ancestor. Moreover, I heard you are only a little over 1000 years old and have the potential to become a true king in the future. Following you will definitely not be a bad decision!】
"What else can I say?" You glanced around the crowd, having already chosen your consort based on your own preferences.
[They did indeed make a fortune following you, not only gaining access to far more resources, but also receiving a blessing of essence—according to you, a blessing of essence is the overdraft of one's potential to become an immortal.]
While it may bring immediate benefits, the price is that you'll never be able to break through to the seventh realm in your lifetime.
[But who among them dares to dream of becoming an immortal? The most extravagant dream is to surpass their ancestor and become a fifth-realm king; the seventh realm is too far away.]
As for other aspects, you simply provide happiness, but don't expect any future gains or status through your offspring.
[In the year 3700, you have successively rebuilt your cultivation to the fourth level, but your outwardly revealed strength has only gradually increased to the fifth realm.]
[Considering the refined bloodlines you've cultivated over the years, while maintaining your human form, your Holy Body's multiplier has gradually reached 220 times. Even if you were to revert to the most basic mortal state, you would still possess combat power measured in units of "thorns."]
[You've gotten close to the higher-ups of the Tianwu Continent and learned that a supreme battle exists on this continent, a gladiatorial contest open to all beings of the Six Realms.]
[Held once every ten thousand years, the winner is granted an audience with the legendary Seven Realms Heavenly Martial God.]
You just listened; you didn't intend to participate.
"Then why did you write it out? To make it look like a water character?"
In the year 3710, you temporarily departed, venturing into the deeper reaches of the starry sky.
You're looking for ways to accelerate growth in this universe.
[In less than 4000 years, based on normal calculations, you should be able to break through from the current 98th Heaven to around the 800th Heaven.]
However, you feel it's a bit too risky.
"Can 800 Heavens really raise my individual reward and punishment cap to 100%?"
"The improvement decreases as you progress. Even now at level 98, it's only reached 70%, a mere 7% increase compared to level 61."
If we don't find some way to speed things up, things might really get a bit risky.
"Hmm... if all else fails, I'll just go back to the Yuan Tian Realm in 1000 years and go freeload off into the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm."
"Sigh, but the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm is also a trap. Sometimes a single trial can hold me for a year. If I have to go through a few more of those trials, I won't be able to complete a system at a normal pace."
"Let's walk around and take a look first."
"Actually, I still really want to play, because there are still nearly 4,000 years to go."
Yun Shou watched a play.
He understood what Thirteen was thinking!
The Thirteen Manifestations can now descend hundreds of times, and in the future, with unparalleled heavenly might, directly appear before those top-tier cosmic forces, and politely inquire where there are secret realms to accelerate cultivation.
However, he felt he hadn't had enough fun yet, and that he had plenty of time. He didn't want to become an emotionless training machine so quickly.
So he abandoned the most efficient method and chose to wander slowly through the universe alone, gathering information in a less efficient way.
In some ways, his current mindset is similar to... Chen Kongyu's.
Chen Kongyu said he loved Xu Ling'er, but he stubbornly refused to go back to see her.
Thirteen said that his effort level was already maxed out, but he didn't want to enter a state of intense, closed-door cultivation so soon.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Yun Shou didn't continue speaking.
He was never one to work tirelessly or spend his days solely focused on seeking knowledge.
If it weren't for various pressures, for self-preservation, and for revenge, Thirteen would have already done it!
My current power is already unmatched in the world, and it will automatically increase with the improvement of my essence every year, so what's the point of cultivating!
