Long Chen had finished telling the truth to his family that he wasn’t actually their son.
After a mont of overwhelming pause, Long Jun finally shook his head.
"I don’t know how my son was and how he had to suffer, but I know you aren’t responsible for anything. I can also understand why you didn’t tell the truth before. It would have been just as overwhelming for you to know you were in soone else’s body," Long Jun said.
If I was in your place, I might have done the sa as well," He further said. "But I do know one thing. You never treated the long clan as strangers. You did so much for us that most family mbers won’t even do."
"You might not be our son that we believed you to be, but you’re still our son. Just like you treated us like your family, you are our family. How did you think that we would hate you because of this? You did nothing wrong," Sima Ziyi said as she stood up and stepped closer to Long Chen.
She sat right beside him. Long Chen also sat up, glancing at her.
"So your na is Long Chen, you said?" She asked.
"Yeah," Long Chen said, nodding.
"Chen’er, do you think of as your mother?" Sima Ziyi inquired.
Long Chen nodded again.
"Can you promise your mother one thing then?" Sima Ziyi asked again as she rubbed Long Chen’s head.
"What promise?"
"Promise that you’ll bring my other son back too. I want both of my sons. Can you do it?’ Sima Ziyi inquired.
"I will do it," Long Chen affird. "But as I said, it’ll take a long ti."
"No matter how long it takes. I just don’t want his soul to stay alone for an eternity. Even if it takes a hundred years, as long as he can co back and live a normal life, I’ll be happy," Sima Ziyi told Long Chen.
"He’ll be back," Long Chen said.
"So, which of you still tell this to Grandpa?" Long Chen asked, smiling wryly. "Because I’m not the one who’s going to do it."
"Don’t worry, I’ll tell him. He’ll understand too," Long Jun replied.
....
Long Chen spent three more hours inside the Herb Garden with his family before he actually stood up while telling them that it was his ti to leave.
He sent the family back, leaving only the Snake Monarch, who was seemingly getting bored here after spending so long.
"Finally. We can leave," he told Long Chen, who just finished sending his family back.
"That’s right. Let’s leave," he said, excited.
"Not yet. I just said that to send them away. We’re going to stay here for a few more months. It’s a perfect place, completely isolated from the outside. I can spend months here to stabilize my cultivation without being disturbed. That’s also why I sent my family away. So I could be at peace," Long Chen explained b
"Now it’s your turn to leave as well. Rest in the Beast Region for a little while," Long Chen told the Snake Monarch, who seed annoyed.
"Co on! What’s the fun in that? Let’s go out and face slap so arrogant cultivators with our strength. You can stabilize outside too. I’ll be so bored inside the Beast Region alone," Snake Monarch complained.
"Alone? There are so many beasts there. How can you be alone?" Long Chen asked.
"They’re all kids for . I can’t talk to kids. They’re immature," Snake Monarch retorted.
"Train the kids then. Help them get stronger. Moreover, there is also the Blood Dragon there. I think you two can practice battle and get stronger. Because I’m not leaving this place anyti soon. I’ll call you out when I leave though," Long Chen told the Snake Monarch, not changing his decision.
"Fine. You make, you’re really irritating sotis. When I get my temple, I won’t give you even the smallest of space in there," Snake Monarch retorted, rolling his eyes.
"It’s fine. I don’t need space in your temple. I’ll have one of my own." Long Chen chuckled. "Anyway, I think it should be ti for the second Beast Competition. How about you have that?"
"Second one? That’s right! I can defeat that puppy this ti and get the title that I deserve! This ti I won’t let him cheat!" Snake Monarch exclaid as he liked Long Chen’s suggestion. He found it interesting.
"Best of luck for the tournant, little guy. I’m sure you will do great. I’ll wait to hear the results when I call you out next ti," Long Chen said before he sent the Snake Monarch back inside the Beast Region.
"At last peace," he muttered as he sat down again.
He closed his eyes and started stabilizing his Red Core.
...
While Long Chen was stabilizing his core, Immortal World was in chaos. The four Emperors were inford about the broken statue and about the possible return of the Blood Dragon Emperor.
Hearing that news, the Emperors dropped everything and hastily ca to the Northern Empire.
A news had spread everywhere that sothing big was going to happen since all Four Emperors and Four Generals were together in the Northern Empire.
In a eting room, four Emperors were sitting around a black round table. The four Generals were standing behind them respectfully.
"If that statue is really broken, this is really problematic. Even the First Emperor had to resort to tricks to defeat the Blood Dragon Emperor. And he was only able to succeed with the help of the other Blood Dragons," the Northern Emperor spoke in a grim tone.
"That’s enough to show how strong Blood Dragon Emperor must be. If he returns today, can we even handle him?" He asked the others.
"The First Emperor was alone. There are four of us now. And Humans have gotten stronger. I think we should be able to take him on. Even though a lot of people will die in the battle, we should be able to win as long as we give it our all," the Southern General said.
"I disagree," the Eastern Emperor chid in. "Even if the First Emperor was only one, he was one of the strongest ever to exist."
" He single handedly conquered the Immortal World. I doubt any of us would be able to defeat him if he was alive today, even if we joined. That’s the information I have on him according to the records," he continued. "We should take this seriously and not be overconfident."
"We can’t let the Blood Dragon Emperor return," he finished.
"You’re taking the records too seriously."
