One of my fairy-like friends

Only now did Mingyan understand what his mother meant when she said, "You are the only one in my eyes."

Chapter 245 In order to continue the lineage

"Mother, do you not remember anything from before?" Ming Yan walked side by side with Ming Huiyin. Ming Huiyin was almost the same height as Ming Yan, and they looked very well-matched.

“You were born later, so everything that happened before that is irrelevant to you. My current memories do not include that kind of thing.” Ming Huiyin smiled slightly. Her attitude towards Ming Yan and how she treated others when Ming Yan was around were completely different from how she treated others alone.

"Then... why did Mother think of creating me?" Mingyan changed the subject, as this was related to him and his mother would definitely remember.

"For the sake of continuing the lineage," Ming Huiyin said with a smile.

"Has Mother always lived alone?"

“Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have created you in this way,” Ming Huiyin said. “Before creating my most perfect child, I had to make sure there were no mistakes. So, before you, there were other King Bodies. They were all products of my experiments, but Wang Qingchu was a little special.”

"Hmm? Is my sister special?"

“Yes, because she is the closest to you, almost perfect, which is perhaps why she had such an opportunity.” Ming Huiyin nodded. “But I’m still surprised that she’s still alive.”

Even Ming Huiyin had to admit that Wang Qingchu was indeed an unexpected existence. She had completed the Human King Body to a near-perfect state through her own efforts. Fortunately, she doted on her younger brother Ming Yan. If Wang Qingchu were to become hostile to Ming Yan, it would be quite difficult to handle.

“Mother always says I’m special, but what makes me special?” Mingyan continued to ask.

“Take dual cultivation to improve strength, for example, no one else has this ability.” Ming Huiyin said with a smile, tilting her head. “This is the fastest and safest way of cultivation that I prepared for you. And like me, you will not be affected by the suppression of the Great Dao at all. You can ignore all restrictions and directly become an Emperor. You don’t need to go to the outer realm to make up for the Great Dao laws before you can become an Emperor, like your sister did.”

At this point, Mingyan frowned. "But why is this? Why is our Great Dao incomplete?"

“I really want to tell you about this, but I don’t have any relevant memories. A complete divine soul would definitely have relevant memories, so I can only tell you after you prove yourself as an emperor. Also, there are some things in my memories… Yan’er, the Great Emperor is not the ultimate Dao. The Great Emperor is merely an existence parallel to the Great Dao. The true peak that a cultivator can reach is enough to transcend the Great Dao and change the rules of the world at will.” Ming Huiyin said, “Unfortunately, I don’t know if I have reached that level myself.”

Is there an even higher level?

Ming Yan was taken aback; this was beyond his original understanding... If the Great Emperor was already this strong, then the even stronger beings who could arbitrarily modify the rules were beyond words; it was simply an indescribable realm.

“However, I am quite certain that a perfect Human King Physique is sufficient to reach that realm,” Ming Huiyin said with a smile. “As for the method, may I keep it a secret for now?”

"If Mother feels it's not appropriate to tell me now, then there's no need to say anything. I won't make things difficult for Mother." Mingyan came back to his senses, smiled, and shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Ming Huiyin smiled gently and rested her head lightly against Ming Yan, "Yan'er is so good..."

I suppose in my mother's eyes, whatever I do is fine...

While the two were taking a walk, they ran into an acquaintance.

Gu Hanshuang was practicing her sword in an open space when she noticed Ming Yan and Ming Huiyin. She looked over, but when she saw Ming Huiyin, she almost lost her senses. It took her a while to come back to her senses, and she was shocked. How could someone look like that?! Just by relying on her appearance, she could captivate people's souls. This was too terrifying!

"Han Shuang." Ming Yan walked over with Ming Huiyin in his hand and greeted Gu Han Shuang with a smile.

Gu Hanshuang sheathed her sword, controlling her gaze and trying her best not to look at Ming Huiyin. This woman's beauty was beyond comprehension, and Gu Hanshuang worried that she would become lost in thought again. "Ming Yan..."

“Mother, this is my friend. Her surname is Gu. She is the daughter of a great emperor who once proved his Dao with a sword…” Ming Yan gave Ming Huiyin a brief introduction. Ming Huiyin smiled and nodded, then looked at Gu Hanshuang and nodded slightly to her, “The descendant of a hero, worthy of respect.”

Hearing Mingyan call Ming Huiyin "Mother", Gu Hanshuang was even more surprised. So Mingyan had a mother?

Although it sounded like an insult, Gu Hanshuang believed that Mingyan was an orphan. After all, Mingyan had talked about his past; he came from a small mountain village and said he lived with the village chief, never mentioning that he had a mother...

However, she still bowed very politely, saying, "Hello, Auntie..."

Having a mother is bad enough, but having such a monstrous mother is even worse... Gu Hanshuang could feel a heavy sense of oppression from Ming Huiyin, so her cultivation level was probably very high.

Mingyan simply greeted Gu Hanshuang and didn't let his mother chat with her for long. He knew his mother wasn't interested in other people and just wanted to get to know them. Forcing his mother to chat with Gu Hanshuang would be torturing his mother, torturing Gu Hanshuang, and torturing himself.

So after saying hello, Ming Yan left with Ming Huiyin.

Gu Hanshuang scratched her head as she watched the two figures disappear. Just then, Bai Ze suddenly appeared beside her. She also looked at Ming Yan and Ming Huiyin's backs with a furrowed brow.

Gu Hanshuang sensed Bai Ze's arrival, turned to look at her, and asked, "Do you know who she is?"

“I’ve seen her in Mingyan’s future, but her figure is extremely blurry. In any scene of Mingyan’s future where her figure appears, it is always blurry.” Bai Ze frowned and said, “...Since she is Mingyan’s mother, then she must be that being, the peerless powerhouse who created the current cultivation system.”

"..." Gu Hanshuang blinked. Such a powerful background?

She's already considered a second-generation emperor, so what is Ming Yan?

"With her around, our chances of defeating those invaders from other realms should be infinitely high, right?" Gu Hanshuang asked.

"...You're oversimplifying things." Bai Ze shook his head. "That being's strength far surpasses our current understanding; it's not as simple as just defeating invaders from other realms..."

She might even be the cause of the dark turmoil...

However, Bai Ze did not say this to Gu Hanshuang.

P.S.: I recommend a book called "Anime Crossover: Hope in Another World!"

Synopsis: Takema Kirie, a transfer student at Shuchiin High School, initially thought he was living the life of a protagonist in a crossover anime. Just as he was preparing to woo Kaguya Shinomiya, Chika Fujiwara, Mafuyu Kirisu, Kaimu Kitagawa, and the quintuplet sisters, he unexpectedly encountered a girl on the rooftop—Miko Yotsuya. Even more terrifying... Takema Kirie discovered that he could also see those incredibly ferocious and horrifying demons!

The seemingly peaceful world has been ravaged by a resurgence of spiritual energy. Order is gradually crumbling, and day and night are once again divided. Humans rule the day, while demons and ghosts rule the night.

A great demon runs rampant, hundreds of ghosts roam the night, and eight million gods are about to awaken and rule the human world. Faced with this crisis, Takeshima Mizuki activates her cheat code—the Wheel of Myriad Realms—to travel through dimensions and search for hope to save humanity in various other worlds.

Chapter 246 Mother's Hope

Since he had encountered Gu Hanshuang, Ming Yan took the opportunity to tell Ming Huiyin about his plans for Gu Hanshuang and another person, Yu Mudan.

Ming Huiyin listened quietly with a smile. Although these things were unimportant to her, and even somewhat boring, she didn't mind knowing since they were from Ming Yan.

After Mingyan finished speaking, he took Ming Huiyin's hand and stopped walking. "Mother, have you thought about what you should do after you wake up?"

“…” Ming Huiyin looked at Ming Yan and smiled slightly, “I do have some things I want to do, and they are all related to you.”

"For example?" Mingyan asked curiously.

“For example…” Ming Huiyin looked at Ming Yan and smiled, “For example, living with you forever? Would that count as one?”

"Um... I guess so." Ming Yan scratched his head. He suddenly remembered that Empress Qingzi had also completed the Great Dao Laws. Speaking of which, Empress Qingzi should already possess endless lifespan. And after he proved himself to be an emperor, he could probably also obtain immortality in the same way...

Immortality... such a familiar word, yet its actual meaning is so unfamiliar.

Throughout history, countless outstanding figures have pursued immortality, yet in the end, they are nothing more than a handful of dust...

And now, it seems there's a rather simple way to achieve immortality...

However, it may not be simple. It sounds like as long as one goes to the outer realm to make up for the lack of the Great Dao rules, one may be able to enjoy immortality. But how to go to the outer realm is an unknown. My sister entered the outer realm by mistake. Although I don't know how the Empress entered the outer realm, Mingyan guesses that she probably did not enter intentionally.

In any case, there are a large number of Emperor-level powerhouses in the outer realms. Individually, they are no match for Great Emperors, but in terms of numbers, there are far too many. Venturing deep into them is extremely dangerous.

Taking the initiative to enter the fray may not necessarily be a wise move.

On the other hand, the Dark Turmoil only appeared after the time when Mother reigned supreme over the world; Mother herself seemed to have already possessed the ability of immortality...

"Mother, you yourself must also possess the perfect Human King Body, right?" Mingyan inquired. "Can the Human King Body itself achieve immortality?"

“Of course,” Ming Huiyin smiled slightly. “Otherwise, why would it be called the most perfect physique? Yan’er, you haven’t fully understood the Human King Physique yet. The ‘Human King’ in Human King Physique doesn’t refer to the ‘Human King’ realm; it has another meaning. Besides, I’m not exactly a perfect Human King Physique. Even I can’t compare to you…”

Ming Huiyin's eyes were full of tenderness. The best, of course, had to be reserved for her child. Ming Huiyin tried everything she could to create a Ming Yan who was truly perfect in terms of physique. He had no upper limit and had even exceeded the framework she knew so far, reaching a level that was almost unnecessary. But he could be unused, but he could not be without.

“…” Mingyan was somewhat surprised, not expecting that he already possessed the ability of immortality. He couldn’t help but raise his other hand and look down. Was he really that special?

With a mother who was a true emperor, Mingyan was destined to be anything but ordinary.

“...Since Mother created such a 'perfect' me, you must have something you need me to do, right?” Mingyan asked after a moment of silence.

Having been given such great power, it would naturally come with an unprecedented responsibility. Mingyan's silence was not because he was unwilling to take on this responsibility, but because he was thinking about what his mother needed him to do.

Ming Huiyin frowned, raising her hand to rub her temples. "Strange, this matter was originally related to you, I should remember, but for some reason, it's like a blank..."

"It's alright if Mother can't remember." Seeing Ming Huiyin frown, Ming Yan felt that pang of pain welling up in his heart again, so he quickly said, "You'll know eventually."

“Hmm…” Ming Huiyin put down her hand, was silent for a while, and said, “Although I have forgotten what exactly I wanted you to do, I know that it is not difficult for you, and can even be said to be easy, so Yan’er does not need to worry.”

Mingyan smiled and shook his head. Since it was his mother's wish, he would do it no matter how difficult it was.

“Right now, you need to improve your strength. Although you have reached the Xuanji Mirror, it is not enough.” Ming Huiyin smiled and said, “You need to try to find female cultivators with higher cultivation levels than you to cultivate with. The girl named Han Shuang was still a virgin, and after we left, another woman appeared by her side. Her cultivation level was Xian Sheng, and she was also a virgin. Both of them will be of great help to you.”

A divine manifestation? Appearing beside Gu Han Shuang? Could it be Bai Ze?

Mingyan was puzzled. Did his mother want him to win over Bai Ze as well...?

Bai Ze's cultivation level was certainly a great help to Ming Yan, and since she was a virgin, the effect was even better, but...

Mingyan was a bit of a headache; this time, they really were accepting all comers.

However, while dual cultivation is a quick method, it also has drawbacks. Once one breaks through to the Manifestation Saint level, where will one find a female cultivator with even higher cultivation?

It seems that it took the Empress more than two thousand years to become an emperor. Even if I cut my time in half, it would still take a thousand years. I only have five hundred years left for myself. Therefore, I must keep looking for female cultivators with higher cultivation levels than myself in order to make the most efficient use of the advantages of my perfect human king body.

Assuming that after I become a saint, my master and Aunt Ning break through to the Great Saint level, then at most I can use dual cultivation to quickly break through to the Great Saint level. After that... who can help me?

Mingyan was silent for a while, then looked up. He decided not to think about it too much, after all, he was still far from being a Great Sage.

Ming Yan shook his head, snapping out of his reverie. He took Ming Huiyin's hand and nodded, "I know, Mother..."

"Don't worry, once you reach the corresponding level of cultivation, there will always be someone who can continue to help you."

Whether Ming Huiyin sensed Ming Yan's worry or not, she smiled and said.

Mingyan seemed to be thinking of something, so he could only smile and say nothing.

“I know you think I’ll be bored by myself there, but Yan’er, your own affairs are more important than these things. I shouldn’t have told you to come back and keep me company every night.” Ming Huiyin said softly, “Wang Qingchu is right. No matter what, your cultivation is more important. After all, the sooner you become an emperor, the closer you will be to the day I envision for you... We’ll have plenty of time to be together in the future.”

"Mother..."

“So, go find Yu Mudan and Gu Hanshuang. Only after you’ve settled their relationship can you reach Bai Ze.” Ming Huiyin reluctantly pulled her hand away from Ming Yan’s. “I will always be waiting for you at home.”

Mingyan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and just nodded silently.

P.S.: I recommend a book called "Steve's Ark of Tomorrow".

Synopsis: Mu You is a newbie transmigrator who has just transmigrated to the continent of Terra.

But before that, he was a veteran block player who had survived for many years in Minecraft.

Thanks to this identity, he was almost forcibly pushed back by the will of this world before he could even gain a foothold on this land.

"I don't want to go back to that world where even the sun is square!"

In order to survive in this world where at least the girls' faces are pointed rather than square, Mu You had to participate in various storylines to increase the world's so-called "recognition points" for him.

This includes, but is not limited to—fighting infected people, fighting the Deep Sea Church, fighting the giant sea monsters, and "fighting" with some girls who, under the guise of repaying a debt of gratitude, harbor ill intentions towards him...

Goredia: "I'm curious why you, Muyou, always like to get involved in the troublesome things that land people do."

"...It's all about participation."
