If I live forever, everyone thinks I am invincible

Hopeless!

The Zhang family is beyond saving!

It's one thing for Zhang Xiaoni to be obsequious, but why are the three patriarchs doing the same thing now?

Does the Zhang family... still have a future?

"They are supposed to be ancestral figures, yet look at your behavior, what kind of manners are these?"

"Get up right now."

"Is this something that can be recognized so easily?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, the three patriarchs of the Zhang family excitedly said, "To recognize the Sovereign as our father, how can this be done casually? This is simply our supreme honor!"

“You’ve misunderstood. What I mean is, he can’t just accept you as his relatives.”

"He doesn't deserve it, and you... aren't really a good match either."

Chen Chang'an's words were utterly disrespectful, but the three Zhang family elders pondered them carefully and nodded in unison.

"That makes sense."

"That is a ruler-level existence, we are indeed not worthy of it."

"It is already our good fortune to be able to meet the Son of the Ruler, and it is even more so the good fortune of the Zhang family."

"We can't force it, and it would make us seem a bit unreasonable."

Hearing what the three said, Chen Chang'an smiled and said, "There's no need to be like that. Do you think having a ruler as a father is a good thing?"

Do you really think I'm happy just because I'm the son of the ruler?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoni leaned closer and asked, puzzled, "Could it be that being the son of the ruler puts too much pressure on you... and you're not as happy and relaxed as you seem?"

"Actually, you're under a lot of pressure and carrying a heavy burden, but you've never shown it?"

"It must be so."

"If my father were also a ruler, I can't imagine what kind of pressure I would be under."

"If you do something even slightly wrong, you'll be ridiculed by so many people."

"Yes, this kind of pressure is not something that ordinary people can withstand. Fortunately, Pavilion Master Chen is outstanding enough."

Ok……

"It's not that bad."

"I'm still very happy," Chen Chang'an said helplessly.

"No, we understand, we get it."

“Sect Master Chen… there’s no need to force yourself like this.”

"Yes, this invisible pressure is something we can't even imagine. It truly impresses us."

"If you're willing to admire me, then continue to admire me."

"Getting back to the main point, where's the message? I haven't received any notification yet."

"Um... we haven't received any news yet. Why don't you go back first, and we'll let you know as soon as we have any news?"

Chen Chang'an had been pestering the Zhang family for several days, but he didn't expect the news to arrive so slowly this time.

"Then I'll go?"

"Um...we didn't mean to kick you out."

"Yes, yes, absolutely not."

"Since there isn't any, then I won't leave."

"You wouldn't be unwelcome, would you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone could only laugh awkwardly; they dared not refuse.

"You don't need to be so nervous. Don't be shy, just make yourselves at home."

"Do whatever you want, you don't have to stay around me all the time."

"Okay, let's get busy."

"Oh, that's good."

How did the Zhang family, a perfectly good family, become Chen Chang'an's? Whose family is this anyway?

Chen Chang'an stayed at the Zhang family's house for several more days, and as the time was drawing to a close, there was still no movement from the Zhang family.

"Have it!"

"Yes, yes!"

"What, you're pregnant again? Seriously, you're something else, little girl. Reproduction is so difficult in the Eternal Land, and you already have three, and now you're getting another one?"

Chen Chang'an's words left Zhang Xiaoni speechless.

"I said I have the news, who told you my wife is pregnant?" Zhang Xiaoni said helplessly.

"Oh, I'm pregnant with your baby too."

"You're getting more and more absurd."

"The prompt appeared."

"This list is pretty harsh."

Ok?

What does "a bit ruthless" mean?

Seeing Chen Chang'an's puzzled look, Zhang Xiaoni quickly said, "Challenge Ranking!"

Moreover, life and death are irrelevant!

A challenge list where life and death are irrelevant?

Isn't this a life-or-death struggle?

"Tell me more specifically."

"it is good!"

"The Challenge Ranking is also a ranking based on power level."

"Each faction can select ten contestants to participate."

"The ranking of the ten contestants will be determined based on the number of those who advance."

"And the people each faction has to challenge are not fixed, but randomly assigned."

"Once you step into the ring, life or death is irrelevant. As for whether or not to kill, that's up to the individual."

"In other words, death is permitted within the secret realm where the challenge leaderboard is located."

"The advantage of immortality that everyone in the Eternal Land possessed has vanished."

"Moreover, there are only three winners on this list."

"Currently, only six forces are still on the Eternal Ranking, which means that the Challenge Ranking will eliminate half of the forces."

"It looks like we're getting closer and closer to the final list."

"What do you think?" Zhang Xiaoni asked, frowning.

Chen Chang'an did not expect that this challenge would be a life-or-death battle, but it did not necessarily have to be a matter of life or death. It mainly depended on whether one wanted to kill.

"There are only three spots available. Besides Qibaoge, who else do you think would be a good candidate to advance?"

Chen Chang'an's sudden question also stunned Zhang Xiaoni.

"What kind of talk is that? Who can advance depends on their abilities."

"Do you think I can just say who advances and they'll advance?"

"I don't have that ability," Zhang Xiaoni said with a wry smile.

“I know you don’t have it, but… I do,” Chen Chang’an said with a smile.

"Forehead……"

"So you mean this challenge ranking is the last chance for the Eternal Palace and the Alliance of Outsiders?"

"The Eternal Palace doesn't seem to have much influence on you, but... I always feel that the Alliance of Outsiders is hiding something quite well."

"The remaining three hidden sects are not to be feared."

“Under normal circumstances, the three hidden sects would be eliminated from this list.”

"But if you have your own ideas, then we don't know."

"Are you really planning to eliminate the Eternal Palace and the Outsiders Alliance directly?" Zhang Xiaoni asked curiously.

"We'll know when the time comes."

"Alright, I've received the message, so I'll head back now."

"The list will be released in two days, and I need to select the participants."

"After all, this challenge is random, so I need to select a few people I'm confident in."

After saying that, Chen Chang'an left the Zhang family without Zhang Xiaoni even having a chance to say what she was about to say.

"Goodness, you never stop for a moment, you've really moved fast."

Zhang Xiaoni sighed helplessly, but then looked forward to the challenge list.

The moment the list was announced, he seemed to have already anticipated how people would react.

Whether they live or die is irrelevant; for many, this is definitely not good news.

"Death, it's something to look forward to."
