"You...you child, why won't you listen to advice! You...you all just died in my hands like this, how...how am I supposed to explain this to your mother!" Ao Guang was so anxious that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, and he looked like he was about to cry.
“Old Dragon, the children are grown up and should be allowed to make their own way. It’s time to let go! I think your fourth son is a good one. He will definitely survive the forging process and bring glory to your Ao family.” Fairy Maiden also advised Ao Guang from the side.
"You're talking nonsense! It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. You don't have any children of your own, how would you know what parents think? I don't expect him to bring glory to the family, nor do I want him to have any great abilities. I just want him to be safe and sound, without any illness or disaster!"
As Ao Guang spoke, large tears finally fell.
"I also wish to live a peaceful and healthy life, but the world is not peaceful. I am not skilled enough and was stripped of my immortal form by someone. In the Valley of Longing for Home, I almost caused you and me to lose our lives. So I must improve my cultivation level as soon as possible."
"Not only will it protect me, but it will also relieve your fear of your child! Dad, just send me there! You don't trust your son, but don't you trust the Heavenly Emperor? He believes I can pass the forging, so why don't you?"
Wang Yao had no choice but to bring out the Heavenly Emperor.
“Yes, how did the Heavenly Emperor know that you could pass the forging? I’ve never seen anything special about you since you were little… But… the Heavenly Emperor is never wrong…” Ao Guang hesitated.
"Talent needs to be honed, it needs to undergo countless trials of blood and fire, life and death. Only in this way can they truly become pillars of the Heavenly Court. You must be wary of those so-called leaders who rise to the top in one step and ascend to high positions. Our problems are most likely to arise from them..."
"...It seems...it seems the Heavenly Emperor sees you as a talent, Yao-zai, and he wants to cultivate you into a pillar of the Heavenly Court...but...you...how the hell do you look like a pillar?"
Ao Guang recited a passage from the Heavenly Emperor's sayings, then muttered to himself, looking Wang Yao up and down with a puzzled expression.
“Old Dragon, the God and Demon Forging isn’t something you can’t get out of once you’re inside. If Xiao Yao feels he can’t take it anymore, he can stop the forging at any time and come out. There’s no loss.”
"Besides, there are the twelve life-extending clones that the Heavenly Emperor personally made for Xiao Yao. It's not too late to come out after we've used up all the life-extending clones, don't you think? Wouldn't it be a waste to not forge these twelve life-extending clones?"
At this moment, the fairy maiden also seized the opportunity to reveal her twelve life-extending clones.
"Yes, yes, you finally said something sensible." Ao Guang's eyes lit up, and his brows immediately relaxed. "Alright, alright, Yao Zai, it's settled then. I'll send you to the forging workshop, no problem. But you have to remember one thing: once you've used up these twelve lives, get out of here right now."
Upon hearing Ao Guang's first words, the fairy's expression changed, and she was about to argue with him. However, upon hearing Ao Guang's subsequent instructions to Wang Yao, she bit her lip and barely managed to suppress her anger.
"Listen to me, the God and Demon Forging is divided into two parts: forging and refining. Forging is to use spiritual power to forge you in a space, gradually raising your level. Refining is to throw you into the God and Demon Battlefield and set tasks for you."
“Only after you complete this process will your level stabilize. This process will repeat itself continuously. The tasks vary in difficulty. Generally speaking, the higher the level, the more difficult the task. For those above the Refinement stage, almost all tasks are death missions.” Ao Guang looked intently at Wang Yao.
"In the forging space, there are two statues of gods and demons, one holding a sword and the other holding a banner. Remember this: if you want to give up forging, just hold the banner in your hand and shake it a few times, and you can give up forging. Do you understand?"
"I've got it!" Wang Yao nodded repeatedly. Thank goodness, there was a free exit mechanism, which greatly increased his chances of survival.
"Once you use your last life-extending clone to return to the forging space, you absolutely must not think about forging and upgrading anymore. Quickly take out the banner. Once you start forging, you won't be able to come out again! Understand?" Ao Guang instructed again.
"I understand. So where is the God and Demon Space?" Wang Yao nodded and asked curiously.
"Where else could it be? Naturally, it's the place where the realms of gods and demons meet," Ao Guang replied.
"Then please take me there quickly." Wang Yao nodded upon hearing this.
"Are you...are you sure?" Ao Guang hesitated again.
"I'm sure, there are still twelve lives left, what's there to be afraid of?" Wang Yao said with a smile as he accepted the twelve life-extending clones handed over by the fairy.
“Actually, you can reconsider…” Ao Guang wanted to persuade him further.
"No need, you can take me there. It's probably not a short distance, so let's hurry up. It won't be safe anywhere if my system shuts down," Wang Yao said with a smile.
Caixia's letter gave him three days, and one day has already passed. He estimated that his matchmaking system would probably shut down in three days. At that time, without the protection of "good people," he would indeed be in danger wherever he went. It would be better to enter the God and Demon Forging Space to undergo forging.
"Alright, let's go." Seeing this, Ao Guang stopped insisting.
"Are you... are you going or not?" Wang Yao turned to look at the fairy.
"I'd better hurry home and start making immortals, so I won't be scolded for not having children and not knowing what my parents are thinking!" the fairy said in a huff.
It seems that what Ao Guang said to her earlier really made her take it to heart. Indeed, the fairy maiden and Lu Xian have been married for quite some time now, so why haven't they had a son or daughter yet?
