Many descendants

……

Su Yan held a storybook and told stories to the children.

When we were halfway through the book, the little ones all fell asleep, so I touched each of them one by one.

Xiao Hao fell asleep and lay face down on the pillow.

Su Yan felt uncomfortable looking at him, so she straightened him up. But as soon as she took his hand away, he changed to another, even more bizarre and comfortable position... In the end, she just ignored him.

Xiao Fengning and Xiao Miqi were sleeping close together, back to back. Su Yan gently separated them and kissed Xiao Miqi and Xiao Fengning.

Wen Jin stood at the entrance of the bedroom. He had come to pick up the child, but when he saw Su Yan kissing Xiao Fengning, he didn't say anything.

Only when Su Yan noticed him did he gently smile and whisper, "I came to see you."

"They're sleeping well." Su Yan patted the two little eggs, Baba and Shiba, in the middle. These two little eggs were the most well-behaved, not moving at all, and occasionally they would be kicked a few times by their brothers and sisters on either side.

After leaving the hall, Wen Jin handed Su Yan a letter.

"What is this?" Su Yan opened it.

It contained some characters she didn't recognize, so she handed it back to Wen Jin, saying, "Translate it for me."

"Hehe, I thought Yan Yan knew everything," Wen Jin laughed.

Su Yan rolled her eyes at him and walked towards the garden outside the palace. The night was getting darker and the air was cool. The Dazheng Palace where Zi Qi was was still lit up. There must be something important going on so late.

Then, recalling what Wen Jin had told him, "Translate it quickly."

Wen Jin asked a question first, "Yan Yan, after Little Twelve ascends to the God Realm, can you still summon him down?"

Su Yan shook her head, "It's possible and it's not. If it's possible, it would require me to spend tens of points, so many that, in my opinion, it's equivalent to not being able to summon him from the lower realm. But if I summon him from the God Realm, it would be very simple."

Later, I thought about it and realized it must be related to the fact that he was born as a Saint-level divine beast. In other words, he ascended through a formal Heavenly Tribulation examination, with records kept at every step until he was finally registered in the divine register of the God Realm.

Unlike the Fourteenth and Fifteenth, who were born as divine beasts of the divine rank, their divine essence was sealed by Qing Linghuan, making them essentially unregistered, so they could come and go as they pleased.

However, once the seal is broken, they will be discovered when passing through the Heavenly Dao barrier, and then forcibly taken to the Divine Realm, making it difficult to descend to the mortal realm again.

In this respect, Qing Linghuan was relatively merciful to me, her mother, and did not decisively release the seal, otherwise I would not have been able to summon my two children at all.

Little Seventeen is actually an unregistered individual now, just like Little Fourteen and Little Fifteen, whose divine status has been sealed.

This was discovered because he consumed the root of the World Tree that day, greatly increasing his divine power but failing to summon the Ascension Tribulation. Later, I had Xiaomei investigate, and we discovered that Little Seventeen's merit-based divine core contained a seal similar to that of the two little celestial foxes. His Majesty has ruled out anyone capable of this, and Qing Linghuan would certainly not interfere with someone else's child.”

"You don't doubt me, do you? Although I can also seal things," Wen Jin said with a smile.

"Of course not. You're actually quite selfish; you won't do anything without a reason. If your son weren't in my hands, I bet you wouldn't have paid any attention to me and would have left me with your partner's mark." Su Yan scoffed.

Wen Jin's smile deepened. "Yan Yan has wronged me."

Su Yan didn't believe it at all, but everyone was the same, including her. If it weren't for Xiao Fengning acting as a go-between, she probably would have completely forgotten about him after the Holy War ended.

"Who is that?" Wen Jin asked.

"The Beast God. On the day Little Seventeen was born, the Beast God, who was the guardian of the Beast World, descended in a phantom form, wanting to take Little Seventeen in, but His Majesty refused. I suspect that he sealed Little Seventeen's divine status at that time."

"For the gods, a divine title based on merit is like a piece of meat. Little Seventeen has caught the eye of the Beast God; he'd better be careful," Wen Jin said bluntly.

"Yes." Su Yan didn't tell Zi Qi about this. "Do you have any ideas?"

“I can devour that seal, but Little Seventeen might immediately face the tribulation of ascending to godhood, or the divine realm might send down a divine path to take him to the divine realm and register him in the divine realm you mentioned.”

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes, I absorbed the seal and had Qing Linghuan seal it back up immediately. Qing Linghuan shouldn't have any designs on Little Seventeen. That fox is extremely arrogant by nature and wouldn't stoop to stealing a child's divine status."

"Okay, when he arrives, you and he can help me break the seal on Little Seventeen."

"Easy to do."

"Since it's that simple, then I won't thank you," Su Yan said with a smile, then looked at the letter in his hand, "What does it say?"

Wen Jin said, "In short, after Little Twelve ascended to the God Realm, it caused a stir among the ancient gods in the God Realm as they searched for their direct descendants. The Heavenly Dao rules that restrict the God Realm and the lower realms, which you think of as the Heavenly Dao barrier, may be about to be opened."

"Once opened, the evil beasts of the Asura Realm can return to the God Realm."

"...Wouldn't that mean...?" Su Yan was shocked.

Wen Jin looked toward the sleeping quarters. "The Heavenly Dao rules and restrictions between the God Realm and the Lower Realm are connected to the Asura Realm, which is why the God Race can go to the Asura Realm."

The ancient and new gods are not incapable of breaking this restriction. However, breaking it would simultaneously break the restriction on the Asura Realm.

"So what truly binds those gods and prevents them from descending to the mortal realm is not some heavenly barrier, but simply the prevention of you from leaving the Asura Realm."

No wonder it was so difficult for Little Twelve to summon his child back from the divine realm; it turns out he had to break this restriction first.

Breaking the seal would have unimaginable consequences. It might even trigger a war between the two realms...

"Any one of those evil divine beasts in the Asura Realm could wreak havoc on a region if they went out. Now they want to descend to the mortal realm, yet they also want to continue to restrain the Asura Realm. So they have issued a challenge to the Asura Realm, and it has already been approved by the Heavenly Dao."

"What challenge?"

……

The realm of gods, the desolate Kun wilderness.

The gate of Yu Hao's Divine Lord's Mansion was kicked away by Qing Linghuan!

He also uprooted all the peach saplings outside the fox den and threw them into the Divine Lord's Mansion.

Yu Hao wasn't angry at all when he saw him. Ever since Su Yan was kidnapped, he hadn't been in a good mood.

But upon seeing Qing Linghuan, the mood suddenly brightened.

Without even glancing at the peach saplings, he swept them away with a wave of his hand, and they all fell into Sun Fuxiang's yard.

Sun Fuxiang had just finished fetching water and was about to go outside the fox den to water the little peach trees when they all unexpectedly 'flew' to him...

"Brother Qing, I am so sorry to have failed to welcome you properly. Please come in and have a seat," Yu Hao greeted warmly.

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. No matter how angry Qing Linghuan was, he couldn't bring himself to lash out when he saw Yu Hao's smiling face.

"What do you mean? Sending wedding invitations, planting peach trees, and even sealing off my fox den!" Qing Linghuan demanded an explanation with a stern face.
