If I live forever, everyone thinks I am invincible

"Are you very free?"

"Running around outside every day trying to find a father?"

“I’m not surprised that your father scolded you,” Chen Chang’an said helplessly.

"How could that be?"

"Idol, look how sincere I am!"

"How about we try another method? What do you think of my eldest sister and second sister? We can choose either one, and then we'll be related."

“If they can’t do it, I… I can’t, my mother can’t, but I still have my aunts, my other aunts, and…”

"Shut up already, you're really something else."

"Get lost and don't bother me."

Zhang Sanpao's arrogance always manages to shatter Chen Chang'an's worldview. Does this guy even know what he was saying?

"No, idol, please think about it."

"Get lost."

"Fine, fine, why does everyone want me to get lost?"

Zhang Sanpao sighed helplessly, and then rolled out again amidst the surprised gazes of Chen Tian and Jian Dan.

"No, he... he really rolled it?" Chen Tian asked in surprise.

"Hmm, it's probably a conditioned reflex; I've gotten used to it."

Hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Chen Tian smiled helplessly and then asked, "Where are Mother and Uncle Dahuang?"

"I'm in seclusion, preparing for the Eternal Ranking."

"You two are quite good, you've both broken through to the first level of the Emperor Realm."

"If I hadn't been working harder lately, you would all be at the same level as me in terms of cultivation."

Chen Tian and Jian Dan smiled shyly after receiving Chen Chang'an's praise.

No matter what they are like in public, in front of Chen Chang'an they are still children. When praised, they will still feel embarrassed and blush.

"Following in our father's footsteps is our goal, and we have never dared to slack off," Chen Tian said shyly.

"Never follow in anyone's footsteps. Your goal is to become a better version of yourself, not to become or surpass someone else."

"What you need to surpass is only yourselves."

"You are already very good, and you need to have a clear understanding of your own excellence."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, both Chen Tian and Jian Dan nodded seriously.

"Father, I am indeed very good."

"Fine, leave the showing off to others, don't try it on me."

"okay."

"Father, how is my mother doing lately?"

"Fortunately, I'm always in the small world. Occasionally, my consciousness will enter it to keep them company."

"You two, do you want to go back and check on things?"

"it is good."

It would still be somewhat dangerous for Chen Tian and Jian Dan to directly enter with their physical bodies, given their immense strength.

Although Chen Chang'an has been using his energy to nurture the small world and continuously improve its level, there are still certain risks involved.

However, it is relatively easy to allow their consciousness to freely enter their own little world.

After spending a few days in the small world, Chen Tian and his simple consciousness returned to their original bodies and entered a state of cultivation.

Chen Tianhe's simple appearance put Chen Chang'an in a great mood.

As time goes by, the Imperial Realm is now bustling with activity.

The matter of the power rankings was intentionally spread by Zhang Ergou at that gathering, in order to cause chaos among those in the Emperor Realm.

Zhang Ergou wasn't worried about the impact this would have on the Zhang family. On the contrary, it would better clarify the hierarchy within the Imperial Realm.

During this period, news kept reaching the Zhang family, and many people were also trying to find out what kind of new power the Zhang family had created.

However, the matter of Qibaoge was not spread, and no one knew what the Zhang family was really up to.

After all, they never expected that the Zhang family would let an outsider, especially an outsider, take on such a major role.

"A rare guest indeed."

"What brings you to my place today?"

Chen Chang'an was also curious when he saw Zhang Ergou, after all, Zhang Ergou had been missing for the past few years.

"Another breakthrough?"

"However, the speed seems to have slowed down considerably."

"It's been three years since my last breakthrough, and I've only reached the third level of the Emperor Realm?"

As soon as he said it, Zhang Ergou was stunned for a moment. Three years? Only three years.

But why does this time seem a bit slow when it comes to Chen Chang'an?

If it were anyone else, breaking through from the second to the third level in three years, they would surely be amazed.

"It's alright, I haven't been practicing very seriously."

"There should only be three years left before the Eternal Ranking opens, right?" Chen Chang'an asked with a smile.

"About three more years."

"Are the others still in seclusion?"

"Yes, they're all in seclusion."

"What do you want from me?"

Hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Zhang Ergou nodded and then sat down to the side.

"The Imperial Realm circle has been quite lively lately, you must have heard about it, right?"

"not very clear."

"Then let me tell you about it. Since the last gathering, Shi Jingtian's Shi family has gathered quite a few people."

"After all, the Shi family has always been quite powerful, even stronger than our Zhang family. And with the addition of the Ren family, it will naturally attract a lot of people."

"Besides the Shi family, many other forces have joined together to form an alliance in order to deal with the power rankings."

"To be honest, in terms of overall strength, Qibao Pavilion... is not at an advantage."

The Qibao Pavilion is composed of family forces that are dependent on the Zhang family, meaning that there is no truly top-tier expert in charge.

Based on its current specifications, Qibaoge has absolutely no advantage.

"Based on your understanding, where would Qibaoge rank?"

"How many spots are available on the power ranking?" Chen Chang'an asked.

"It's hard to say, I'm afraid it won't make the top ten."

"The power ranking should have no more than twenty spots."

"In other words, the strength of Qibaoge should only be in the middle to lower range, but if any other unexpected events occur, it may fall off the list."

After Zhang Ergou finished speaking, Chen Chang'an asked with a smile, "Didn't your Zhang family make any preparations beforehand?"

"Yes, you."

"So, you're just pushing all the blame onto me and expecting me to solve it?"

"You are the head of the Treasure Pavilion, so of course it's up to you to solve this."

"I had already thought of this matter. Don't worry, with me here, there is no problem with Qibaoge's strength."

"I am enough on my own!"

Seeing Chen Chang'an's confident demeanor, Zhang Ergou simply nodded calmly.

Although it sounded pretentious, Chen Chang'an's words were quite convincing.

"Are you so confident?" Zhang Ergou still asked.

"Is your Zhang family still unsure about the details of the power ranking competition?"
