Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

A cool night breeze blew, and the Taihe Hall of the Great Qian Palace was brightly lit.

The old eunuch Li Dequan, clutching his whisk, huddled beside the white marble steps outside the hall.

He held a soaked silk handkerchief in his hand, constantly wiping the cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

Inside the sleeping quarters, the sounds of string and wind instruments had long since ceased.

Instead, there were bursts of blush-inducing coquettish complaints, playful scolding, and the creaking and shaking of the bed.

"Don't push me! My husband's arm is mine!"

"Oops, Ninth Sister, you stepped on the hem of my skirt!"

"Make way, everyone! I'll go first!"

"Hey! Don't you know the rules? Do you even know what 'first come, first served' means?"

Hearing the crackling sounds inside, Li Dequan felt his legs go weak.

More than twenty.

More than twenty beautiful and charming empresses!

No one could handle that!

Is the master risking his life to fill the pits in the harem?

Li Dequan swallowed hard and looked up at the cold moon in the sky.

Is the master's whole body made of kidneys?

This is absolutely inhuman!

Upon further reflection, Li Dequan felt relieved.

Their master could even tear a hole in the sky and crush immortals with his bare hands; he was no ordinary person, but a living god.

How could ordinary mortals fathom the physical constitution of immortals?

I was worrying for nothing.

That night, the candlelight in the Hall of Supreme Harmony burned until dawn.

……

Spring came and autumn went, the glazed tiles of the Great Qian Palace were replaced three times, and the koi in the Imperial Garden were fattened up twice by Shen Qinghe.

With Lin Mo's safe return, everyone finally settled into a peaceful life.

The Great Qian Dynasty was unprecedentedly powerful, and the surrounding nations dared not even breathe loudly, lining up to pay tribute year after year.

The palace's rear garden has been transformed into a super-large kindergarten.

Qin Ruxue gave birth to a son for Lin Mo. The boy was just over a year old when Qin Ruxue chased him around the yard with a wooden sword to practice his lower body.

When Liu Yiyi gave birth to her daughter, during her first birthday celebration, the baby girl grabbed a golden abacus and wouldn't let go. Liu Yiyi was so happy that she immediately rewarded everyone in the household with three months' worth of monthly allowance.

The sisters Gu Ling'er and Gu Meng'er are even more amazing. Gu Ling'er's child had just learned to walk when he was running to the Ministry of Works' arsenal every day, always carrying two miniature versions of Thunderbolt Fireballs in his hand.

Gu Meng'er's daughter followed behind her every day, coaxing her older sister to put down the dangerous items like a little adult.

As for the system...

Lin Mo gets a headache whenever he hears a system notification.

As the women gave birth one after another, the system rewards poured in like a flood.

"Supreme Immortal Pills", "Primordial Spiritual Treasures", and "Ancient Divine Techniques" were piled up like mountains in the system warehouse.

Later on, Lin Mo didn't even bother to look at it anymore.

Once, Xia Man'er complained that the table in her bedroom was a bit shaky, so Lin Mo casually took out a "Nine Heavens Breath Soil Seal" from the storeroom and placed it under the table legs. Surprisingly, the size was just right.

For Lin Mo now, those world-destroying magical treasures and immortal elixirs are nothing compared to what he used to know.

It's far less precious than waking up every morning to see the children running around in the yard and the wives sitting around the table eating breakfast.

The sun was shining brightly that afternoon.

Lin Mo lay on a rocking chair in the Imperial Garden, holding his one-month-old daughter in his arms, squinting in the sun.

"It's born! It's born!"

A young eunuch tumbled and crawled into the Imperial Garden, his voice cracking.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Consort Yunshang has given birth to a prince! Mother and child are safe and sound!"

Lin Mo suddenly sat up, handed his daughter to the wet nurse beside him, and strode towards Ye Yunshang's palace.

Ninth Sister had a difficult pregnancy. Her usual energetic and lively nature had been suppressed for ten months, and she was already feeling restless.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard Ye Yunshang's loud and forceful cursing.

"Take that bowl of bitter medicine away! I want roast lamb leg! Extra cumin!"

Lin Mo pushed open the door and went in. Seeing Ye Yunshang leaning against the headboard, full of energy, he felt completely relieved.

However, just as he stepped forward, ready to hug his newborn son,

Deep in my mind, that long-lost, cold, mechanical voice boomed once more.

[Ding! Detected that the host's ninth legal wife has successfully given birth to a child.]

[Congratulations, host! Your family's expansion and flourishing has achieved ultimate perfection!]

The Lin family bloodline is now completely stable, its destiny suppresses all realms, and the system's final mission is complete.

[The ultimate reward—"The Book of Heavenly Paths"—is hereby awarded.]

[This system is about to enter permanent hibernation. Wishing the host a happy life and many children.]

The sound stopped abruptly.

Lin Mo stood there, stunned. Had the system gone into hibernation?

The system that accompanied me through hardship and helped me rise to prominence has just retired without a trace?

With a thought, he opened the inventory in his mind.

An antique book floats quietly in mid-air.

The cover has no words, exuding an inexplicable and mysterious aura.

"The Book of Heavenly Way?"

Lin Mo touched his chin.

This thing sounds impressive, but what's it used for?

Curiosity gnawed at his heart like a cat's claws.

He looked around. Ye Yunshang was holding the child and showing off to Xu Wenya, and no one was paying attention to him.

Lin Mo quietly retreated behind the screen, probed his inventory with his divine sense, and took out the "Book of Heavenly Dao".

The book is extremely light, like a weightless wisp of air.

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and turned to the first page.

blank.

There was nothing there.

Turn the page again, still blank.

"Are you kidding me? The ultimate reward is a blank book?"

Lin Mo rolled her eyes and was about to close the book.

But suddenly, something unexpected happened.

A tiny point of light suddenly appeared on the previously blank page.

The point of light expanded at an illogical speed, instantly transforming into a blinding white light that engulfed Lin Mo entirely.

There were no fluctuations of spiritual energy, and no sound of space tearing apart.

Lin Mo didn't even have time to utter a single curse word before everything went black.

A strong wave of dizziness shot straight to the top of his head, causing him to completely lose consciousness.
