Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

Watching his daughter play happily with Lin Chen without any reservations, Li Zhenbang, who had already let go of his resentment, gradually relaxed.

A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, and a smile slowly crept onto his lips.

He hadn't seen Li Ya with such a genuine and happy smile in a very long time.

In his memory, the way his daughter looked at him always carried a sense of estrangement, grievance, or a stubborn calm.

The smile at that moment was so vivid and bright that it stung his heart slightly.

But it also gave him a belated, bittersweet sense of relief.

Looking back on his life, he was undoubtedly a successful businessman.

He amassed an astonishing fortune, wielding immense power in Guangzhou, and few dared to challenge his authority.

He has been with countless women and enjoyed the ultimate luxury and adoration.

But as a husband and a father, he was a complete failure.

The women were fighting fiercely in his backyard, causing chaos and unrest.

He had many children, but he either neglected to discipline them or was influenced by his own lifestyle. Before the end of the world, most of them indulged in sensual pleasures and none of them could truly make him feel at ease or proud.

What he finds even more unbearable is that at his age, he doesn't even have a single grandchild.

This became his deepest regret and obsession beneath his glamorous facade.

Lin Chen learned all this from Li Ya, which is why he used the powerful remedy of "Li Ya's pregnancy" to awaken Li Ya's will to survive in the critical moment.

"Alright, alright," Li Zhenbang finally spoke up, interrupting the two young people's oblivious display of affection.

Finally, he reluctantly relented, saying, "I can't interfere too much in your young people's affairs. Perhaps this is just my fate."

He rubbed his temples, looking tired. "Where am I staying tonight? After all this commotion, I'm a bit sleepy now."

Upon hearing her father's words, Li Ya immediately stopped "punishing" Lin Chen and turned around in surprise: "Dad! You...you agree to us being together?"

For her, after experiencing life and death in the apocalypse, the simple sense of fulfillment of receiving her father's personal recognition of her feelings was more moving than anything else.

"I agree, I agree." Li Zhenbang waved his hand, his voice weary. "As long as you are sincere and happy with each other, this old man can only 'go with the flow'."

Then, he deliberately put on a stern face, glared at Lin Chen, and once again displayed some of his former imposing manner: "Kid! Let me tell you this first, if you dare to treat my Xiaoya badly, or let her suffer even the slightest grievance, no matter how capable you are, I will risk my old life to make you pay!"

After the warning, he lowered his voice and said, "From my experience, I have a piece of advice for you: having many women is not necessarily a blessing." "Sigh." He then sighed deeply.

Lin Chen shrugged, his attitude frank: "Uncle Li, don't worry, my situation is different from yours. But I can guarantee that I will treat Xiaoya well and make her happy every day."

Upon hearing this, Li Ya immediately leaned over and gave Lin Chen a cheerful kiss on the cheek: "I believe you!"

Seeing his daughter's undisguised affection, Li Zhenbang couldn't bear to watch and quickly urged, "Alright, alright, take me to a place to rest. I'm so sleepy."

As he spoke, he even gave a big, dramatic yawn.

Li Ya finally snapped out of her daze, thought for a moment, and looked at Lin Chen with some difficulty: "Brother Lin, most of the accommodations are full now. Where would be a good place to put my dad?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up with an idea: "How about we let Uncle Li move into the space too? He can keep Siqi's parents company and look after them."

Li Ya's eyes lit up: "Great idea! Dad doesn't have any superpowers, and the outside environment is too harsh. He might get sick again anytime soon."

"Okay, it's settled then." Lin Chen nodded, and then, with a thought, he and Li Zhenbang and Li Ya disappeared from the cafeteria and entered the Creation Pearl space, arriving directly at the place where He Meijiao and the others were farming.

There is currently no natural day and night distinction within the space, but in order to maintain a normal routine, Lin Chen specially placed a large electronic clock in the center of the camp to display the same time as outside.

At this moment, the clock showed that it was evening. The people in the camp had finished their daytime work and were gathered in small groups, enjoying a simple dinner, talking in hushed tones, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

The sudden appearance of Lin Chen and his group immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Li Zhenbang, however, was still in shock as he looked at the beautiful space.

"Lord Lin! You've arrived?"

"Has the city lord eaten yet? Try the soup I just made, it smells delicious!" A kind-faced woman in her fifties enthusiastically carried over a steaming bowl of soup.

Lin Chen smiled and responded to everyone's greetings, thanking them and refusing the soup bowl.

At this moment, He Meijiao and Liang Siqi's parents also came over after hearing the news.

The two elderly people still possessed such refined manners, and their eyes remained clear and peaceful.

Seeing Li Ya and Li Zhenbang beside Lin Chen, Professor Liang asked gently, "Xiao Chen, what brings you here at this hour?"

Lin Chen quickly introduced the two parties.

He first pointed to Li Ya, then said to Professor Liang and his wife, "Uncle Liang, Aunt Sun, this is Xiao Ya. Sister Siqi should have mentioned her to you before." Then, he pointed to Li Zhenbang, "This is Xiao Ya's father, Mr. Li Zhenbang, the richest man in Guangzhou before the apocalypse."

Then, he turned to Li Zhenbang and introduced them: "Uncle Li, these two are from Yangcheng University of Technology, Professor Liang Xingguo and Professor Sun Qiongzhi."

Both of them showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this.

The name Li Zhenbang is well-known in Guangzhou's business circles; while Liang Xingguo and his wife are also quite famous in academic circles.

Although they are in different fields, they are familiar with each other's reputations, but they have never crossed paths before.

I never expected that we would meet in this way in this apocalyptic world.

"So you are Li Zhenbang, the richest man in China. I've heard so much about you." Professor Liang extended his hand first, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

"Professor Liang, Professor Sun, I've heard so much about you both. I never expected to meet you here. What a coincidence!" Li Zhenbang quickly extended his hand to shake hands, his tone filled with emotion.

After the initial pleasantries, perhaps due to similar experiences and upbringing, or perhaps because they had shed many worldly burdens in this apocalyptic world, the two elderly people with very different backgrounds and experiences quickly found common ground.

They talked about their experiences before the end of the world, lamenting the impermanence of life, and gradually became familiar with each other.

Li Ya watched as her father's face regained its former focus and radiance, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Chen then took out a luxury RV from his spatial storage to serve as Li Zhenbang's temporary residence.

He instructed He Meijiao to take good care of Li Zhenbang, then pulled Li Ya out of the space.
