Zhou Xingdou suppressed his slight disappointment, his brows furrowed, and he spoke in a deep, calm voice:
"Is the Holy Mother afraid that you won't be able to control the Elders of the Universe? When you are crowned, these Elders will find fault with Tianzhou and put him in an embarrassing position?"
Although the Holy Mother of the Universe's decision was made on a whim, her concerns were indeed valid. Wan Tianzhou was too young, even half a year younger than Zhou Xingdou.
Moreover, Du Buhui committed many evil deeds by using Wan Tianzhou's body. Although the truth has now come to light, it will not immediately restore the momentum she once had.
Moreover, his cultivation level is also a major weakness. Even though he is a Dao Fruit of the Universe, there have never been many such young and weak leaders of immortal forces in the entire Primordial Era.
Let alone the elders of the Holy Land of the Universe, even when Zhou Xingdou sat on the seat of honor of the Zhou family, his servants still caused trouble. How much more so for Wan Tianzhou now?
Although Our Lady of the Universe initially harbored a desire to outshine others, she couldn't help but show concern when she thought about Wan Tianzhou's situation at the time of his coronation.
"Wan Shenyan's strength is not strong, and he is even weaker than many elders. He only got to the position of Ninth Ancestor by chance."
Now that Wan Shenyan has been stripped of his ancestral status, he probably harbors resentment.
Although he was ordered by the Emperor to protect and assist Tianzhou, this man is meticulous and calculating. Protecting him is one thing, but he might not necessarily help Tianzhou maintain order and offend the other elders.
Zhou Xingdou nodded slightly. Although Wan Shenyan was interesting, he was undoubtedly quite cunning.
Moreover, without Zhou Xingdou, it's doubtful that Wan Tianzhou could suppress the elder's attack thirty-six days later, let alone Wan Shenyan.
Stephen Chow also understood the meaning of the Holy Mother of the Universe:
"So the Virgin Mary wants me to come at the coronation, to make the day more spectacular?"
The Holy Mother of the Universe looked at Zhou Xingdou, her beautiful eyes revealing a slight pleading look, and said:
“Yes, Zhou Zunzi has been granted an ancestral decree by the Emperor Ancestor of the Universe, and his rank is comparable to that of a clan elder. He can be considered a person of the Holy Land of the Universe. Moreover, the might of the Zhou family has a great deterrent effect on those clan elders who have returned from beyond the realm. Zhou Zunzi is undoubtedly the best candidate.”
Zhou Xingdou shook his head somewhat helplessly, but this did not mean he rejected the Holy Mother of the Universe:
“Actually, the Holy Mother didn’t need to say these things. I would have come when she was crowned in broad daylight, and I certainly wouldn’t have stood idly by.”
Yes, it's such a big event as the coronation of the Holy Lord of the Universal Holy Land. How could Zhou Xingdou not come and join in the fun? Even if the Holy Mother of the Universal Holy Land didn't say anything, could he just watch Wan Tianzhou be made difficult by others?
Let alone having this Universal Ancestral Decree and considering himself half a member of the Universal Holy Land, even without this Universal Ancestral Decree, why would Zhou Xingdou refrain from interfering in the affairs of the Universal Holy Land?
Wan Jiang, the Grand Elder of the Universe, has not been dead for even a day.
He dared to trample on the gates of the Holy Land of the Universe and destroy Du Buhui's life for ten thousand days, so how could he care about the mere difference in status and not get involved in the coronation?
Zhou Xingdou, audacious as ever, seized the delicate hand of the Holy Mother of the Universe, holding it gently in his own, his expression utterly solemn as he solemnly declared:
"Holy Mother, why worry? All things perish. Although I am not related to Tianzhou by blood, our bond is stronger than that of brothers."
As the eldest brother, I am like a father to Tianzhou. Even if he has no father, I will be his father, and I will never let him suffer any injustice. In all matters, I, as his elder brother and father, will stand up for him!
The Holy Mother of the Universe was slightly taken aback by Zhou Xingdou's sudden action, but upon hearing Zhou Xingdou's solemn words, her extremely beautiful face was moved, and her beautiful eyes were filled with emotion.
Because Zhou Xingdou is not just a talker. What he did for Wan Tianzhou before proves that his words are not child's play, but come from the bottom of his heart.
But when Zhou Xingdou said that his elder brother was like a father to Wan Tianzhou, even the Holy Mother of the Universe couldn't help but blush.
After all, since Zhou Xingdou is Wan Tianzhou's father, isn't he also her husband?
Wan Tianzhou had no idea that while he was talking to Wan Shenyan, the ancestor, his mother had already found a stepfather for him in her heart since his father had just died.
And this stepfather was also his brother, the eldest brother.
The Holy Mother of the Universe was at a loss for words, after all, she was not exactly an expert in matters of the heart. Her relationship with the Holy Lord of the Universe was merely nominal, without any real connection or affection.
Throughout her life, she only loved power, strength, and her son. She was adept at exchanging benefits and vying for power, but when it came to matters of the heart, she was far less shrewd than Stephen Chow.
The Holy Mother of the Universe, reluctant to pull her hand away from Zhou Xingdou's grasp, was not a timid woman and would not act shyly. She simply bowed slightly and said softly:
"Then I will thank Master Zhou on behalf of Tianzhou."
Zhou Xingdou smiled slightly, and his silvery-white eyes, filled with a purple aura, shimmered with a gentle light at that moment:
"Not only Tianzhou, but if the Holy Mother is in trouble, I will not sit idly by. I hope the Holy Mother understands my meaning."
Stephen Chow's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze and extremely magnetic, making the Holy Mother of the Universe's ears itch and giving her a sense of reliance.
But Zhou Xingdou released the Holy Mother of the Universe's hand at this moment, and slightly raised his hand, saying:
"Holy Mother, now that this matter is settled, I must return to the Zhou family to rest. Farewell."
Without waiting for the Holy Mother of the Universe to react, Zhou Xingdou turned and walked towards the four servants of the Zhou family.
The others understood, and Chen Nong raised his hand and summoned the nine ancient dragons of the Void that had fled into the void to take refuge when the demons invaded. Their surging dragon bodies pulled down the giant chariot of stars.
The Holy Mother of the Universe stared blankly at Zhou Xingdou's retreating figure. She never expected that Zhou Xingdou, who had just uttered those words, would turn around and leave without giving her any chance to speak.
But she was also momentarily delighted, after all, Zhou Xingdou's words, though cryptic, had conveyed a great deal of meaning.
This made the Holy Mother of the Universe look at Qing Yanjing, who had been waiting for Zhou Xingdou to come, like a victorious peacock.
Qing Yanjing ignored the provocation from the Holy Mother of the Universe, instead offering her a gentle smile without any intention of fighting. She simply helped Zhou Xingdou onto the giant star chariot.
How could Zhou Xingdou not understand the rivalry between the Holy Mother of the Universe and Qing Yanjing?
However, the Holy Mother of the Universe made a mistake: Qing Yanjing was a battle slave she summoned, so she wouldn't have any bad feelings towards Zhou Xingdou, nor would she care whether Zhou Xingdou flirted with other women.
Qing Yanjing only belongs to Zhou Xingdou in body and mind, but that doesn't mean that Zhou Xingdou's body and mind must belong to her. Moreover, given Qing Yanjing's personality, she wouldn't compete for his favor.
Unless Luo Hanyi is present, Zhou Xingdou would not be jealous or angry about the actions of the Holy Mother of the Universe. Of course, if Luo Hanyi were present, Zhou Xingdou would not dare to be so unrestrained and would probably just be a good husband who does not flirt with women on the surface.
Therefore, the so-called "battle of beauty" between the Holy Mother of the Universe was actually just a futile attempt to find an enemy in the void. Instead, she was captivated by Zhou Xingdou's repeated attempts to lure and entice her, which locked her mind in place.
Stephen Chow stepped onto the giant chariot of stars, his clear voice resounding throughout heaven and earth:
"Heavenly Day, Our Lady, see you again on the thirty-sixth day at your coronation."
At this moment, all beings in the Holy Land of the Universe, whether it be Wan Tianzhou, the Thirty-Six Saints, or Wan Shenyan, bowed towards the giant star chariot and said:
"Respectfully seeing off Master Zhou!"
