Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

"Of course, they also left us some room for maneuver, giving us a buffer period to migrate in batches."

"We are now setting off in batches to return to our homeland of Tianyuan, but the journey has been fraught with danger and setbacks."

"Those powerful elders who migrated away ten thousand years ago have long since exhausted their lifespans and turned to dust. We, their descendants, are not recognized by the natural laws of this world. When we step into this world, we will be rejected and suppressed by the natural forces of heaven and earth."

"The higher one's cultivation level and the longer one's age, the stronger the repulsive force one will experience."

"Therefore, at the beginning, only younger disciples with relatively low cultivation levels were able to use the power of teleportation to board specially made warships and force their way through the black mist to reach areas not covered by the black mist."

"Liang Song's group was the first to set off, while I belong to the second group of people who returned."

"I was one of the very lucky ones. Although the warship I was on successfully passed through the black fog area, it unfortunately crashed in the end, but I survived by sheer luck."

"The people on the same boat were all compassionate and took pity on the child in my womb. They took good care of me along the way, otherwise I would not have made it to shore alive."

Hearing this, Su Mu asked again, "Besides this, are there no other places to migrate to and settle down?"

"Of course there are."

Wen Qianzhu responded in response.

"The large teleportation arrays that can connect to other worlds are all controlled by the top local powers outside the domain. Although they can teleport to other planes, they will never allow us to use them as a route to migrate. Those worlds were originally their backup plans. They only allow us to return to Tianyuan, but do not allow us to find another place to settle down."

"Ten thousand years ago, they took in our ancestors and protected us. We do not want to compete with them for our place of survival."

"Moreover, even if they wanted to fight, they simply wouldn't have the strength to resist."

"They have several Martial Emperor level experts under their command, while our entire relocated force can't even produce a single Martial Emperor level expert."

Su Mu chimed in with a sigh, "If we had known we would end up in this desperate situation, the major powers would have been better off not relocating back then, ten thousand years ago."

"That's not how you say it."

Wen Qianzhu shook her head in rebuttal.

"If they had stayed in their homeland and had not left back then, even if the major sects could have survived to this day, their overall cultivation foundation would have declined to the extreme, and it would probably have been difficult to produce even a Martial King level expert."

That makes sense.

Su Mu nodded slightly.

"In the end, we were all going to be slowly swallowed up by the black mist and would not escape destruction. Looking back now, whether we moved or not was actually predetermined."

Wen Qianzhu continued.

"Ten thousand years ago, there was more than one Martial Emperor on this continent. Even they were helpless and powerless to resist. What can we, their descendants, do? We can only wait for the end of the world to come."

"What exactly is the origin of that strange entity within the black mist? Have you been able to find out?"

Su Mu looked serious and humbly sought advice.

"According to the sect's ancient records, it is a peculiar race called the 'Ghost Race'."

Wen Qianzhu replied.

"The Ghost Clan is inherently bloodthirsty and brutal, with extremely strong aggressiveness. They can only survive by relying on that special black mist. The black mist also continuously absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thereby slowly strengthening itself and expanding outward."

"Are the Ghost Race considered part of the living beings?"

Su Mu continued to press for answers.

"Indeed."

Wen Qianzhu's tone was certain.

"The Ghost Clan has no flesh and blood bodies, but possesses its own life force and complete spiritual consciousness, belonging to a pure evil spirit life form."

"The world is truly vast and full of wonders."

Su Mu couldn't help but sigh.

"The universe is vast and boundless, and there are many special life forms like the Ghost Race, but the vast majority are not as ferocious and warlike as the Ghost Race."

Wen Qianzhu casually replied.

"Didn't your original outer world have a Martial God realm expert in charge? Why not ask that powerful being to teleport across realms and help eliminate the scourge of the Ghost Race here?"

Seeing that Qianzhu was relatively peaceful, Su Mu took the opportunity to inquire about more secrets.

"He did not break through to the Martial God Realm in this world, and he is already very old. Once he is teleported across realms, he will be strongly repelled by the natural laws of this world and his cultivation will be suppressed, so he will not be able to unleash the true combat power of the Martial God Realm."

Wen Qianzhu explained.

"Only a relatively young outsider like myself, upon entering this world, will not suffer from an overly strong rejection from heaven and earth."

"I see."

Su Mu suddenly understood.

Wen Qianzhu said no more and took the storage ring from Liang Song's hand from Su Mu.

Su Mu quickly reassured her, "Miss Wen, rest assured, I haven't touched a single item in this ring."

In reality, he had already quietly moved several valuable items away.

Having obtained such a fortuitous opportunity, Su Mu naturally wouldn't obediently return it all.

Furthermore, Liang Song is already dead, so Wen Qianzhu cannot be considered the true owner of these relics.

"Since the person has passed away, keeping his possessions will only add to the sorrow."

Wen Qianzhu scanned the inside of the ring with her divine sense and, seeing nothing worth keeping or treasuring, handed the storage ring back to Su Mu.

"It's fine to keep it here for now."

Su Mu didn't stand on ceremony and readily accepted the storage ring.

"You've asked me so many secrets, now it's my turn to ask you. I hope you'll tell me the truth."

Wen Qianzhu paused briefly before asking.

"You are not a martial arts genius who was sealed away ten thousand years ago. How did you cultivate such terrifying combat power at such a young age? The spiritual energy here is barren and resources are scarce. According to common sense, it is impossible for such a strong person as you to be born."

"Miss Wen, you may not know this, but after the great ancient sects fell ten thousand years ago, they left behind many hidden treasure troves, which contain countless rare and precious materials and opportunities for cultivation."

Su Mu's words were not entirely untrue.

While the system undoubtedly deserves great credit for his current cultivation level, the treasures and opportunities left behind by ancient powerhouses have also played a significant role. For example, the Dragon Blood Fruit obtained from Wild Wolf Ridge is an immense stroke of luck.

Wen Qianzhu pointed to the gold beside her and asked, "Is this spirit bird also an opportunity left behind by an ancient powerhouse?"

"That's right."

Su Mu nodded in reply.

"When it was first born, it was just a golden-feathered divine egg."

"Its bloodline and endowments should not have been able to be nurtured in this barren land."

Wen Qianzhu pondered for a moment, then continued.

"In about a month, my due date will be approaching. You previously mentioned that you were willing to compensate me, and I'd like to stay with you temporarily to prepare for childbirth. After the baby is born, you will be the father. Can you accept this form of compensation?"

"this……"

Su Mu was stunned. He never expected to encounter such a "surprise fatherhood".

"Miss Wen should know my identity; I was originally a palace eunuch..."

"Eunuchs are actually better."

Wen Qianzhu looked extremely serious.
