But before the reporters could ask more, one voice rose above the rest.
"Si Kai, one last question," a man shouted. "What about your connection to the Si family? They claim you're one of them!"
At once, the room tensed.
Si Kai's golden eyes dimd. His expression turned cold. "I have no connection to them," he said flatly. "They severed all ties when I was five. They left on the streets."
Gasps echoed through the crowd. The caras zood in as his tone sharpened.
"Now they use my na for profit, to build their reputation," he continued. "But I have only one family, the people who never abandoned ."
Si Kai's words made everyone in the magic world fall silent.
There was a deep sigh in the air, as if the entire world itself had bowed in quiet defeat.
Who would have imagined that the sa boy who was once cast away, forgotten, and treated as worthless would rise from the ashes and shine brighter than any star?
If people had known his potential back then, they would have fought to invest in him. But now, it was too late.
The Si family, who had once abandoned him, now faced the sharp edge of karma.
After Si Kai's public rejection, they were hit with an enormous backlash.
Businesses cut ties, allies turned away, and one by one, people began to boycott the entire Si clan.
Their na, once known for power, now beca a symbol of sha.
Desperate, the head of the Si family personally ca to apologize to Si Kai, begging him to return, to forgive, to let them rebuild what was lost.
But Si Kai never even gave them a glance. He had no reason to. He had already found his true family...his sister, Gu Jin, and the peace he had long dread of.
While the world was still talking about the "Beast God," another storm began to rise quietly.
This ti, it ca from a woman nad Ying Yue, the founder of the Mystic Cultivator Sect.
Ying Yue wasn't just an ordinary cultivator. She was a genius talisman maker and a visionary who opened a new path for cultivation itself.
She had discovered ways of channeling mana through talismans, blending mysticism and talismans together.
Because of her, the people of the world had found new hope... a new way of growing stronger.
Naturally, curiosity spread like wildfire. Everyone wanted to et this mysterious woman.
Soon, Ying Yue agreed to an interview. But, just like Si Kai, she had one condition: all reporters must co together, on one date, at one place.
When the day arrived, the broadcast was live-stread across nations. Reporters from hundreds of dia houses gathered, setting up caras and microphones, whispering excitedly.
And when Ying Yue appeared, a quiet gasp rippled through the hall. She was elegant, calm, her aura radiant with quiet confidence. But what shocked everyone most was not her, but the woman walking beside her.
It was Gu Jin.
The mont the crowd saw her, silence fell.
Everyone in the room knew her na.
But today, she was simply standing there beside Ying Yue, her expression calm and proud, like a mother watching her child take her first step.
Soone from the reporters finally gathered the courage to speak.
"Miss Ying Yue," a woman asked carefully, "may we know your relationship with Lady Gu Jin?"
Ying Yue smiled. "She's my sister," she said softly. "My adopted sister."
A wave of murmurs filled the room.
"Then… did you also learn your cultivation thods from her?" another reporter asked, his voice shaking slightly.
Ying Yue nodded.
The entire room went still again. Even the sound of the caras stopped. Everyone understood what that ant.
Gu Jin wasn't just a miracle herself... she was the mother of miracles. She had raised two extraordinary people: one who beca a god, and another who had rewritten the foundations of cultivation.
For a mont, the reporters could only look at her in awe.
Gu Jin, however, felt a little embarrassed. She never wanted attention, yet sohow, it always found her.
She hadn't even planned to appear today, but Ying Yue had insisted.
Especially after Ying Yue found about how her father had died, she beca closer with Gu Jin.
And now, because of this, the world knew she had raised two prodigies by herself.
And it didn't end there.
Because soon after, Gu Jin made another revelation... one that left even the pri minister speechless.
She had reached the Divine Rank of Alchemy.
A rank that no one in history had ever achieved.
The announcent spread faster than fire. High-ranking officers, cultivators, alchemists, and mages across the continents were stunned.
They couldn't believe it. To reach Divine Rank ant one had surpassed the boundary between mortal and god... it was sothing only whispered about in myths.
The entire world celebrated her achievent. Crowds filled streets, online platforms exploded with discussions, and people started begging Gu Jin to sell her Divine Rank pills.
But she refused.
She only made the pills under her own brand, selling them directly without any secret auctions, politics, or favoritism. Whoever ca first could buy them... no bribes, no special rights.
And she made one rule: anyone who tried to harm others for these pills would be banned forever.
That rule shocked everyone. No one had ever seen such fairness from soone so powerful.
Her decision made her a legend not only for her strength but also for her integrity.
Soon, the world began to admire her even more. So people even joked that if you wanted to change your fate, all you needed was to catch Gu Jin's attention.
Whoever she touched beca sothing great... a god, a founder, or a genius.
Many tried their luck. So arranged "accidental" etings. Others boldly confessed admiration or even love. So went as far as trying to seduce her.
It didn't end well.
Long Yifan, now both her husband and her protector, beca fiercely protective. Whenever soone ca too close, his calm eyes would turn sharp like lightning.
He once muttered coldly, "Do they think I'll stand by while they swarm around her like bees? Over my dead body."
He insisted that Gu Jin lower her public presence, avoid dia appearances, and even disguise her aura when traveling.
Gu Jin only smiled helplessly and let him do as he wished. She understood. After all, even she was growing tired of all the attention.
anwhile, Gu Jin even shared publicly about her contract with Mimi, wanting to encourage more understanding between humans and ghost beasts.
But as soon as the news went out, the internet exploded again.
So called her reckless. Others accused her of abusing her power. Heated debates filled forums, and argunts raged for weeks.
Finally, the International Magic Council stepped in. After long discussions, they ruled that ghost beasts were not inherently dangerous... the danger ca from the humans who controlled them.
So they legalized ghost beast contracts, under proper registration and training.
Because of this, ghost beasts across the world were finally accepted. They could walk freely under the sun without fear. There was also necromancers who could now live with dignity!
And all of this was because of Gu Jin.
Many began to see her as an idol. So called her a saint. Others whispered that she was sothing more, a balance between life and death itself.
Of course, not everyone was happy. There were still those who secretly hated necromancers, who despised ghost beasts. But even they dared not speak.
No one in their right mind would go against the woman protected by the Mage God himself.
Yet, even with all her power, Gu Jin still had strange dreams.
In those dreams, her grandfather would appear, asking her the sa question again and again.
Each ti, her answers were different. And with each wrong answer, she would wake up, feeling sothing missing.
Only recently did she realize the truth.
Those dreams were not dreams at all... they were tests. Tests that determined whether she was ready to be reincarnated in this magical world.
From the age of five to thirteen in her mafia world, she had always answered incorrectly. Her grandfather had erased her mories each ti to give her another chance.
Only when she finally gave the right answer did her life in this world begin.
It was all part of fate.
Now, years later, Gu Jin and Long Yifan were preparing for a wedding.
Not their own, but that of their dear friends, Lu Siyao and Fei Hanzhu.
When Gu Jin heard the news, she was honestly surprised. She had always thought the two would never settle down.
They were playful, always teasing each other, never serious about marriage. Even at fifty, they still acted like mischievous teenagers.
But now, they were truly tying the knot.
When Fei Hanzhu t Gu Jin again before the ceremony, his expression was complicated.
"I once suspected that you were the daughter of the Gu family," he said quietly. "But when I tried to investigate, my own family intercepted the truth."
Gu Jin frowned. "Intercepted?"
