Chapter 38: Earth

Suddenly, there were shocked gasps from the guests. Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu and Xu Liang... the expressions on both their faces changed.

They stared at the gate with wide eyes as they saw something they never imagined would be possible.

"Uncle Zhen... He... He... " Xu Liang stuttered as he found it hard to speak.

"He is... with a... " Even Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu was having a hard time as he saw War God Zhen entering the hall.

He was holding the hand of a girl as he walked together with her.

The girl looked like she was in her early 20s. Her dark green gown looked like it was sparkling. The girl had long black hair that was tied in a ponytail.

"Your Majesty," War God Zhen said as he bowed slightly. The girl followed him and bowed as well.

"Rise. Who is this girl, Zhen?" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu asked with a curious gaze.

"She's Shin... the girl I'm in love with." War God Zhen replied to the Heavenly Emperor.

"Oh? I never knew you were in love. It all feels so sudden." Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said with a smile.

"It started not too long ago. I brought Shin here to introduce her to Your Majesty and to meet His Highness." War God Zhen said with a bright smile.

"Oh, nice. It's good that you have finally found love as well. I was starting to get worried about your future." Heavenly Emperor said with a smile.

"Congratulations Uncle Zhen." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Thanks, little guy." War God Zhen smiled as he patted on Xu Liang's shoulders.

"Everyone's here. Let the celebrations begin!" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said loudly. The servants started arriving in proper lines as they served food on the tables.

Different servants were in charge of serving wine to the guests. The number of servants in the hall was just as much as the number of guests so that there wouldn't be any problem.

"I would like to say something." The Goddess of Medicine stood up from her table with the glass of wine in her hand.

"Sure. Go ahead." Heavenly Emperor said with a laughter. He was sitting on a table with Xu Liang and Yue.

"I saw Prince Liang for the first time when he was just 5 years old. I have watched him grow into a fine young man... it wouldn't be wrong to call him the best man in the heavenly realm. He is kind and generous, just like His Majesty. Now my sweet little Prince has become a father. I'm sure that his son would be even more amazing than him. May Prince Ming have a long life and get all the happiness in the world. Our Heavenly Realm will depend on him in the future. Thank you." She finished what she wanted to say and sat down.

There was a silence for a few seconds before clapping started. No one knew who was the first person to clap, but almost every person was clapping at the moment.

Wen Yin had somehow started a wave of wishes and slowly every person started standing up one after another and wishing Xu Ming. Some wished for his long life, some wished him for wealth and some even wished him to have a big harem.

Xu Liang had a wry smile on his face as he heard some of the wishes.

"Little guy, so many people like you. Oh, right, Don't have a harem when you grow up! Ignore those evil ideas. Alright?" Xu Liang gazed at the sleeping Xu Ming and said in a gentle tone.

Xu Liang would never have known that the little guy in his hand was actually going to have a harem when he grows up. Not a small harem either.

None of them had any idea that their lives were soon about to be changed forever.

The day passed away and the banquet was over. The guests left and Xu Liang walked back to his room with his wife and Xu Ming.

5 Years passed away in the blink of an eye. Xu Ming had grown up to be a 5-year-old kid. He has long since learned to talk and understand things. In fact, it was said that Xu Ming was a little too smart for the kids his age.

Most of the people considered it a normal thing since his father Xu Liang was the scariest talent anyone had ever seen. So it was normal for them.

The Heavenly Emperor had decided to teach Xu Ming cultivation personally when he grew up to be a 7-year-old boy. He thought that 5 years was too soon for Xu Ming.

Xu Liang, on the other hand, was at the peak of the saint realm and he felt like he would finally achieve a breakthrough in a few weeks. After this, he will leave for the lower worlds to search for the Desolation Empress.

These 5 years weren't easy for him as the duration of Yue's physique going berserk had shortened and now it used to happen twice a month. Yue would feel extreme pain before finally going unconscious.

Xu Liang was hurt to see her like that, but there was nothing he could do to help her. Only Desolation Empress might have been able to help her, that's why he was in a hurry to find her.

At the moment, Xu Liang was lying beside Xu Ming in the bed while Yue was in the shower.

"Dad, Can you again tell me the stories about that Strange world?" Xu Ming asked Xu Liang as he gazed at him with his innocent eyes.

"Alright. Well, there's an amazing world far far away. The place is named Earth. It's a place that has no magic nor immortality. None of the people cultivate in that place. In fact, there is no such thing as cultivation and origin energy there. There are no immortals in that world."

Xu Liang smiled as he began telling his son about Earth. The place he was from. To Little Ming, all these stories sounded like fantasy which he quite enjoyed.

"There are humans, animals, birds and some other species like insects but only humans are considered smart species. They rule the land." He continued

"Just like the lower worlds have kingdoms, they have nations. There are nations like America, Russia, China, India, England, Philippines and many more."

Xu Liang said with a reminiscing look on his face 

"Which kingdom...I mean the nation is the strongest father? " Xu Ming asked with a curious gaze.
