Fighting: Xiao Yan at full level, leading the whole match

At a glance, the Flame God Realm today is almost indistinguishable from the Heavenly Origin Realm of yesteryear.

A colossal world, hundreds of billions of miles in diameter, lies in the center of the starry sky, radiating endless and terrifying pressure and energy.

Surrounding it are countless lower planes, including many super planes. The ten subordinate planes of yesteryear are now each over nine hundred million miles in diameter.

Of the seven ancient races and three magical beast races of yesteryear, apart from the Xiao race, which is a special case, each of the other races now has at least ten Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns in charge.

After all, in the early days of the Dou Qi Continent, the ten races accounted for a very large proportion of the population. After ten thousand years of reproduction, more than 20% of the population of the Flame God Realm came from these ten races.

With such a large population base, geniuses naturally emerged from all ethnic groups.

Various races, such as the Ancient Race, the Medicine Race, and the Dragon Race, have even produced world-god level powerhouses.

Once you reach the void beyond the Flame God Realm, you can see warships patrolling the starry sky. The aura emanating from each warship indicates that a Celestial Sovereign at the peak of the Immortal Rank is in charge, or even a Saint Rank one.

Over the course of ten thousand years, the Flame God Realm has long since ceased to be the small Dou Qi Continent it once was; it has become one of the most powerful forces in the entire universe.

A top-tier Great World, along with over two hundred ordinary Great Worlds and countless lower planes, provided this power with a continuous stream of geniuses.

These geniuses underwent various tests and training, ultimately forging many strong individuals.

In the current Flame God Realm, there are over 100,000 Heavenly Sovereigns alone, over 1,000 Newborn Gods, and nearly 30 World Gods.

With the Flame Emperor, who is arguably the strongest being in the universe, in charge, it's no wonder that the Flame God Realm is so powerful now.

The warship traversed the void and soon arrived at a lower plane outside the world membrane.

The Flame God Realm is now far too powerful. Its world membrane alone can block all beings below the level of the Creator God from entering. Therefore, Xiao Yan had already set up teleportation arrays in several lower planes around him, just like he had done with the Heavenly Origin Realm back then.

However, when the Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign guarding the teleportation array saw the most core symbol belonging to the Xiao Clan and the strange girl who stepped off the warship, his originally lazy posture immediately straightened up.

"The eldest lady is back."

The Celestial Sovereign smiled warmly and immediately opened the teleportation array, inviting the twenty-odd Celestial Sovereigns from other great worlds around him to enter.

"Hurry up, hurry up. You're lucky to have run into the young lady. Today you can be teleported directly into the realm."

The Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign beckoned, and the other Heavenly Sovereigns who were preparing to go to the Flame God Realm were slightly taken aback, and then stood in a corner of the teleportation array with joy on their faces.

While secretly delighted, they couldn't help but look at the girl with curiosity.

"Is this the eldest princess of the Flame God Realm?"

"As expected of the daughter of Emperor Yan, her two guards are both newly born gods!"

A group of Heavenly Sovereigns stood in a corner, all looking at Xiao Xiao with envy.

Despite being both Heavenly Sovereigns, the difference between them is simply too great.

Many of them find it incredibly difficult to pledge allegiance to a nascent god, yet this person has two nascent gods as bodyguards, who immediately activate a teleportation array for her free of charge upon her return home.

Such treatment is truly infuriating!

But there's nothing that can be done about it; after all, she has such a good father, since the entire Flame God Realm belongs to her family.

Xiao Xiao remained remarkably calm in the face of everything happening around her, clearly having long been accustomed to it all.

She simply nodded slightly, signaling the Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign to activate the teleportation array.

The Saint-Rank Heavenly Supreme also nodded with a smile.

The teleportation array activated quickly, and Xiao Xiao disappeared from the spot.

Inside the Flame God Realm, in the center of a vast palace complex stretching for a million miles, within a magnificent palace ten thousand miles high, a handsome young man dressed in black robes was instructing several World Gods under his command.

However, he suddenly paused for a moment, then a kind smile appeared on his face.

"My eldest princess is back."

This palace, and indeed the entire power center of the Flame God Realm, is where only the Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, the master of the entire Flame God Realm, is qualified to sit and guide the cultivation of several World Gods.

"Hehe, let's stop here for today. Xiao Lin, you stay here and wait. Everyone else, you can leave now."

Xiao Yan casually said a few more words and then ended the lecture.

Although the other world gods were somewhat reluctant to leave, they could only nod and take their leave, leaving only Xiao Lin, who was also dressed in black and bore a six-point resemblance to Xiao Yan, behind.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

After everyone left, Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Yan with some curiosity.

Xiao Yan was always a bit stricter with his son than with his daughter, and Xiao Lin couldn't act spoiled in front of his father like Xiao Xiao and his sisters.

However, overall, the family atmosphere of Emperor Yan's family was quite good. I heard that Uncle Lin's son next door was trained like a devil from a young age, and his life was indeed hard to describe.

"Hehe, your sister is back. Go and greet her."

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Lin with a smile, which made Xiao Lin's eyes light up.

"My sister is back, so I'm going to greet her now."

Without hesitation, Xiao Lin quickly disappeared from the spot.

Thanks to Xiao Yan's strictness and the immense resources he poured into cultivating him, Xiao Lin, though less talented than his younger brother Xiao Chen, finally reached the World Realm.

Therefore, without the obstruction of the world's will, his speed in the Flame God Realm was extremely fast. In just a few moments, he arrived near the teleportation array and directly intercepted Xiao Xiao, who was still piloting the warship.

"Sister, you are finally back."

Xiao Lin appeared directly on the warship, startling the two newly born gods. However, after recognizing him, they showed a respectful expression.

"Eldest son."

The two bowed slightly, and Xiao Lin merely nodded slightly. However, Xiao Xiao, who was standing to the side, finally showed a genuine, joyful smile upon seeing Xiao Lin.

Over the years, as the eldest daughter of Emperor Yan, although her cultivation level was not high, there were far too many powerful figures and even gods who secretly flattered and begged her for their own interests.

This forced her to get closer and closer to her mother, Cai Lin. Apart from her family, she usually had a cold and indifferent expression.

However, Xiao Lin was her younger brother who had followed her around since childhood, so there was naturally no distance between the two siblings.

In an instant, this princess, who was as cold as ice to the outside world, transformed into a chatterbox, pulling her younger brother aside to talk about the many problems she had encountered during her more than three hundred years of inspections.

"You have no idea, our old Deng is really unreliable."

"A Saint-level Heavenly Sovereign in the Liyang Great World has actually fallen into the demonic path. Fortunately, your sister is quick-witted and had two guards kill him with a single palm strike."

The two chatted idly along the way and finally arrived at the endless palace complex.

"Father." The moment Xiao Xiao saw Xiao Yan, the words she had uttered earlier about being an unreliable old man completely disappeared, replaced by a look of affection on her pretty face.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin shook her head speechlessly, while Xiao Yan gently flicked her head.

“You silly girl, you’ve been away for over three hundred years, and you come back and start badmouthing your old man.”

Xiao Yan smiled as he looked at his daughter, clearly aware that the siblings had been talking badly about him behind his back.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao's face flushed slightly, and then she couldn't help but pout and snort, "Who told you to be so heartless, making me go out and work for three hundred years?"

"Three hundred years! Do you know how I've spent these three hundred years?"

"I know, of course it's about eating, drinking and having fun everywhere, and also causing trouble for the local guardian deities."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Father, how could you say that to me?"

Xiao Xiao immediately became anxious, but a guilty conscience was hidden in her eyes.

"Alright, alright, my young lady knows how to be considerate of the people's needs now."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, rubbed Xiao Xiao's head and said, "Your mother and family have missed you quite a bit over these past three hundred years. Let's have another family banquet tonight, taking advantage of your return."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao finally smiled.

Xiao Yan's family banquets are actually held frequently.

After all, his life had been relatively peaceful for the past ten thousand years. As the Flame God Realm expanded to its limit of hundreds of billions of miles, the source energy within it became much more concentrated. His divine power had also increased several times over the years, and he had vaguely touched the limit of the Dao Integration Realm.

Then comes enlightenment, continuing to try to touch that elusive and eternal bottleneck.

However, this step trapped and killed more than a dozen Dao Integration Realm cultivators in the universe, and also trapped Xiao Yan in his previous life. Even after ten thousand years, Xiao Yan only had some clues, but he dared not make any more rash attempts.

After all, if he fails again this time, he doesn't know if he will have another chance to be reborn.

Therefore, his ten thousand years of cultivation were relatively relaxed. At his level, eating, drinking, dual cultivation, and sleeping were all forms of cultivation to comprehend the Great Dao. Every aspect of life was cultivation, and the Great Dao was everywhere in the world.

For example, over the course of ten thousand years, he also mastered the Great Dao of Water and the Great Dao of Thunder.

However, the Great Dao at the Great Completion level is not of much help to his current realm.

Therefore, over the past ten thousand years, Xiao Yan has often held family banquets whenever he has nothing else to do.

It might take ten days or half a month, or it might take a year or two. Sometimes, if Xiao Zhan has a craving, it might lead to a family banquet.

However, in the past, although most of the core members of the Xiao family would attend the family banquet, they would not be in the mood to come if something came up.

As the eldest princess of the family, Xiao Xiao had not returned home for over three hundred years. This time, her return brought together the entire Xiao family.

Clearly, the eldest daughter holds a very important position in the family.

In an instant, a banquet was held in a side hall, attended by Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiao's closest relatives.

"My eldest granddaughter is back."

Xiao Zhan sat in his seat, looking at Xiao Xiao sweetly calling him "Grandpa" and smiling happily.

Looking around, one can see that everyone at this banquet has at least reached the peak of the Saint rank.

People like Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, Ya Fei, Yun Yun, and their children Xiao Yun and Xiao Xiao, all had their strength forcibly boosted to the peak of the Saint Rank by Xiao Yan's abundant resources.

Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lin have cultivated to the peak of World God, and even Yao Lao has now stepped into the peak of Newborn God.

His talent was far inferior to that of Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lin, but his experiences in his youth forged his extraordinary character. With the accumulation of Xiao Yan's abundant resources, Yao Lao finally achieved the Divine Realm. Although his cultivation was extremely slow, he could still reach the World Realm if given tens of thousands of years.

As for Xun'er, Cai Lin, Qing Yanjing, and Xiao Yixian, they have finally stepped into the World Realm in recent years. Xiao Yixian, who has cultivated the fastest, has even become a peak World God.

However, just as Xiao Yan had predicted, almost all of his relatives and descendants reached their limit after cultivating to the peak of the World God realm.

Many with poor talent and who haven't experienced much hardship reach their limit at the peak of the Saint rank. Even so, Xiao Yan only managed to achieve this after paying a huge price.

However, the most important thing for Xiao Yan is for his family to be happy together. What does it matter if he spends some resources for this?

However, after Xiao Xiao's gaze swept over the family, her long eyebrows twitched slightly, and she looked at Qing Yanjing to the side with a hint of coquettishness.

"Aunt Jing, where is Brother Chen?"

"I heard that he killed the Blood Demon General this time, and he is now a very famous figure throughout the universe."

Xiao Xiao said with some dissatisfaction, "But my older sister has already gone home, and this kid hasn't even come to see me. Sigh, all the good food I gave him when he was little was for nothing."

Xiao Xiao sighed in a mature and sophisticated manner, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied. Qing Yanjing smiled and was about to speak when a slender, jade-like hand gripped the back of Xiao Xiao's neck.

"You're still as mischievous as ever. Your brother Chen is now a famous figure known throughout the world. You must be more polite to him when you're out in public."

The speaker was none other than Cai Lin.

"Hehe, no matter how important someone is, they still have to call me 'Big Sister' at home."

Xiao Xiao grinned, instantly making the atmosphere in the hall even more joyful.

Just then, a soaring aura suddenly shot straight into the sky from a blessed land in the Flame God Realm.

A terrifying aura instantly permeated the entire Flame God Realm. The terrifying power caused all the powerful beings to change color. Even the World God felt some pressure under this oppressive force.

Even as a Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme, Xiao Xiao found it difficult to breathe under this aura.

Only Xiao Yan remained calm, but his face revealed an undisguised look of surprise.

His gaze pierced through the palace and directly fell upon the river of time faintly emerging in the void.

At that time, the aura of the Great Dao resonated with everything it touched, and time seemed to stand still or become disordered. It was as if the owner of this aura could change the flow of time in the entire Flame God Realm with a single thought.

Even in the starry sky outside the Flame God Realm, the Great Dao of Time is invisibly influencing the North.

A powerful being who had merged with the Great Dao of Time was born in the Flame God Realm.

This will be another piece of news that will shock the world.

However, the one who was first to be shocked was Xiao Xiao, who had a completely blank expression.

"Hehe, weren't you asking where your brother Chen is?"

Xiao Yan looked at his eldest daughter, whose expression was blank.

"He's been in seclusion recently, and as soon as you came back, he broke through to a higher level." (End of Chapter)
