Left with no other choice, the foreign lands reluctantly accepted the Heavenly Court's plan, sparing the elderly immortal in exchange for an additional hundred thousand tons of various frozen seafood.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court's Charity Foundation, which was dedicated to assisting the Western Paradise, was embroiled in a corruption scandal, greatly delaying the aid process from the Six Realms to the Western Paradise. Despite the continued rampant spread of erysipelas, the remaining Westerners took to the streets to protest against the Six Realms. It is said that many of them were indeed killed by the erysipelas.
In short, the Six Realms and the Ocean Realm lived their lives day by day amidst all this bickering and back-and-forth.
"Wah wah wah..." In a top-tier hospital in the human realm, the clear cry of a newborn baby could be heard, and people happily congratulated each other.
"Congratulations, it's a healthy baby boy! Mother and child are healthy!" a nurse said with a smile to the white-clad man standing blankly outside the delivery room.
“Hmm…” The man nodded stiffly, then looked up at the sky blankly.
"God, are you kidding me, Yin Zhiping? They say that if you're old and don't die, you're a thief. I've lived for so many years that I don't even know how many years I've lived. Not only am I not dying, but I also have a constant stream of offspring. This... this is the biggest joke ever!"
"Great-great-grandfather, congratulations! Great-great-grandmother has given our family another great-great-grandfather. Last time, we were determined not to relive the pain of Great-great-grandfather's passing, so this can be considered a little less painful, right? And... and now our Yin family army has tens of thousands of members!"
An elderly man with a white beard and white eyebrows behind the man said excitedly.
"Eight hundred and eighty-eight, you've worked hard too. Ever since your great-great-grandmother got pregnant, you haven't had much rest..." the man said to the old man with a choked voice.
"Ah, it's only right, it's only right. My great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother are blessed with a child at such an advanced age, which shows how powerful my Quanzhen Yin lineage kung fu is. Living a long life is nothing, but living a long life and being able to have a child, that's what's truly amazing."
"As the head of the Quanzhen Yin lineage, my great-great-grandson should be working hard, he should be working hard," the old man said with a beaming smile.
"Please, Great-Great-Grandpa, give Great-Great-Grandpa a good name. It can't be 'No More Children,' because Great-Great-Grandpa's health wasn't very good his whole life. That name isn't very auspicious..." The old man leaned closer to the man and whispered.
"Well... I have too many children in my life, and I've used up all the characters that should be used for the 'De' generation..." the man said with a frown, looking troubled.
"How about... we name it Ten Thousand? With this great-grandfather, your offspring will just reach the number of ten thousand..." the old man suggested.
"Yin Dewan... Yin Dewan..." the man muttered to himself, shaking his head slightly. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at the old man.
“I’ve got it! My old friend Yin Yao has been dead for a long time, hasn’t he? That name was given in memory of a younger acquaintance named Wang Yao. His father entrusted him to me after his death, and he’s probably long gone by now…”
“Unfortunately… I only met him once after our De Guang was born, and then I lost all contact with him. Since Old Bai is dead, how about… we keep this name? We don’t need to include the character ‘De’ anymore,” the man said.
"Yin Yao? This...this is the name of my deceased great-great-grandfather...would my great-great-grandmother agree?" The old man hesitated.
"I will agree. My great-great-grandmother has met him..." the man said confidently.
"Congratulations, Great-Great-Grandpa! Congratulations, Great-Great-Grandpa!..." Behind the man and the old man was a large group of men and women, who all congratulated the man in unison.
"What are you all doing here? This tiny hospital can't possibly accommodate our whole family! Get out of here! Get out of here... I... I'm going to see your great-great-grandmother..." the man shouted at the crowd behind him before walking away.
In the neonatal intensive care unit, two nurses were carefully examining the newborn baby.
"Vigorous blood and qi, abundant spiritual energy, the Supreme One was right after all," a nurse whispered happily.
"Now you don't have to worry about your brother anymore, right?" another nurse said with a smile.
"Pah! Who's worried? You're the one who's worried!"
"Aren't you worried? Then let's go back. Staying in this human realm is incredibly boring."
"What's so boring about it? I love the human realm the most. Everything feels familiar and dear to me now that I'm back. What's so great about going back? Our cultivation level isn't as high as other immortals, but we get better treatment. I've overheard people talking about it behind our backs several times..."
"Let them talk. It was given to us by our eldest brother. Who cares about them..."
"Aren't you afraid of seeing Director Cai's expression?"
"It's her business if she gives me a hard time, what does it have to do with me? Besides, I'm usually in the demon realm, I can't see her even if I wanted to."
"You brat, you've only been an immortal for a short time, and you're already so arrogant. If I were to raise him, who knows what he would become... You... you might as well go back to the demon realm, otherwise, sooner or later you'll corrupt him."
"What are you saying? You must be planning to take him to the Immortal Realm all by yourself, right? You've got a good plan, but I won't allow it. I'm almost at the Integration Stage, so this is the perfect opportunity..."
...
"Are they...are they looking after my great-great-grandfather?" The old man named Eight Hundred and Eighty-Eight asked, pointing to the two nurses in the room from the window outside the neonatal intensive care unit.
"These... these two, could they be interns? I've never seen them before," a nurse next to the old man said in surprise.
"Huh? Where did they go?" Then, the old man and the nurses saw a blur, and the two nurses vanished from the neonatal ward right before their eyes.
"Hey, let's go..." The two nurses had changed into colorful dresses from the human world. One of them was carrying a huge package and was smiling at the bald man in a Western-style suit in front of the top-tier hospital.
"How are my parents?" The bald man immediately ran up to him eagerly.
"Father is father, and mother is mother. How can you call someone both father and mother?" a nurse scolded, frowning.
"Yes, yes, yes... but I really can't tell whether my parents are my father or my mother," the bald man said, feeling aggrieved.
"Oh? How come you can't tell the difference?"
"Where are they? Where are they? How can someone steal a child from the hospital in broad daylight? Hurry up, everyone be careful, the ones who stole the great-grandfather are two little girls..." At this moment, a large group of people poured out of the hospital, led by the man known as 888.
Seeing this, the two nurses stuck out their tongues, gave the bald man a sly smile, and the three of them walked away gracefully before everyone's eyes, gradually disappearing into the bustling crowd on the street.
Wildflowers and idle trees, the setting sun and twilight, the world remains unchanged for thousands of years, joy in gathering, sorrow in parting, life's affairs are like a play, countless, even in despair one can find splendor, laughter and tears are both part of the story. (The End)
