Full-time Creation Master

"It's wonderful!"

Chu Ming's voice carried a genuine sigh, his gaze distant, as if looking through the palace towards the brilliant starry river 60,000 years later, filled with longing.

"So, one last question, which is also a choice for you!"

The moment he finished speaking, his expression subtly changed, a clear understanding flashing in his eyes, as if he had instantly grasped many key points.

But the other people in the hall who were "observing people's expressions" were even more confused.

Some people frowned and looked at each other with puzzled expressions;

Some people subconsciously leaned forward, hoping to glean a clue from Chu Ming's expression, but only saw silence.

"Your origins have been confirmed, and I am aware of your purpose!" Chu Ming's voice rang out again, steady and powerful.

"I'm so relieved!"

These three words were spoken with utmost solemnity, carrying an affirmation of the future inheritance of the human race.

"However, the Great Xia is not one of those floating little worlds!"

Time and space cannot be manipulated at will!

His tone suddenly turned serious, carrying an unquestionable authority that made the air in the hall seem to freeze.

"Therefore, you must face a choice!"

At this point, many intelligent people in the hall suddenly brightened up and nodded quietly—they had already guessed what would happen next.

These people, whether they were heads of powerful families, seasoned veterans of the imperial court, or perceptive mages, instantly understood Chu Ming's considerations.

But many more people remain bewildered, and can only hold their breath and wait for what happens next.

"Leave!

However, you must begin with what you perceive as an "indigenous" group from 60,000 years ago;

Chu Ming slowly opened his mouth and clearly stated his first choice.

He paused, then said the next one:

"Or I could send you back 60,000 years from now, and then you would have completed your mission!"

However, once you return, don't play with time and space again within the Great Xia territory!

"Easily attacked!"

"Time and spacetime are being guarded!"

The last sentence, "Easily beaten," was said casually, yet carried a great deal of intimidation.

But these words caused a huge uproar among the people in the hall—the first to be shocked were not the guests from the future, but the people of Great Xia present!

Your Majesty... is it really possible to directly connect to a timeline 60,000 years in the future?

What terrifying fortune this is!

Or is it a destiny defying the heavens?

Transcending the Three Realms and Five Elements?

Has it already reached the threshold of "status", or has it already transcended the constraints of time?

Countless questions grew wildly in everyone's hearts, and their eyes looked at Chu Ming with an indescribable sense of awe.

"Your Majesty, the five of us choose to stay!"

Almost the instant Chu Ming finished speaking, Zhang Qiwen, Guan Ning, and the other four quickly exchanged glances and whispered a few words to each other.

In an instant, Zhang Qiwen stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and replied.

His tone was firm, without the slightest hesitation: "There are a total of 610 friends who have come here with us this time."

Two hundred and ten of them chose to return, simply because they had ties to the future and couldn't bear to leave.

"And we, the unworthy descendants, along with the rest of our like-minded classmates, are willing to remain here!"

At this point, his eyes shone, and his tone was resolute: "We are willing to retrace the path of the Great Xia's rise as 'natives,' willing to die for the cause, and willing to dedicate everything to the prosperity of the Great Xia!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Ning and the other three stepped forward simultaneously, cupping their hands in unison: "We also wish to stay!"

The four men had resolute expressions, their eyes burning with fervent light.

That was a dedication to ideals, and even more so, a sincere devotion to the Great Xia Dynasty.

"good!"

Chu Ming suddenly burst into laughter, his hearty laughter resonating so powerfully that even the beams and pillars of the hall seemed to echo: "Excellent! Truly worthy of being a descendant of the legitimate human race of my Great Xia!"

He suppressed his smile and softened his tone: "You are new here and still unfamiliar with this era."

I'll give you two weeks to walk around and take a look.

"Take a good look at the most primitive and passionate Great Xia Dynasty as recorded in your history books."

"As for your specific appointments, the central AI, Luo Shen, will assign them to you later based on your expertise."

This sentence was the final command.

As the words fell, the first grand meeting of the Great Xia Dynasty, which had been specially extended due to the arrival of future guests, officially came to an end.

The next second, light and shadow swirled around Chu Ming, transforming into a dazzling rainbow of light.

It pierced through the roof of the palace in an instant and disappeared into the sky—leaving no trace of its presence.

Snow Fairy also left, silently.

The group of forbidden spell experts looked at each other, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Unable to lose face as top experts, they could only send messages to a few juniors before leaving.

In contrast to them, the younger officials and student representatives in the hall had fewer concerns.

Their eyes lit up as they eagerly surrounded Zhang Qiwen and his group of five.

Their eyes were filled with clear naiveté and pure curiosity, as well as an unconcealed expectation—a yearning for the future.

"Gentlemen! Will the future cultivation system truly allow one to shatter stars with bare hands? Will the future cultivation system involve simultaneous cultivation of the Dharma, Body, and Soul systems?"

"You graduated from university as high-level 5th-level mages? Really? And even Martial Kings?"

"Is it really that easy to improve mental strength in the future?"

"Which will dominate the future: technology or magic?"

"What do interstellar spaceships look like? Can they really travel through galaxies?"

The urgent inquiries instantly shattered the last vestiges of silence in the hall, and the atmosphere instantly became heated.

The Discussion at Wanlong Valley: The Battle for First Move

Wanlong Valley.

The area is shrouded in mist and clouds, exuding a spiritual aura.

A small dragon, about three or four meters long and entirely the color of glass and jade, floated in mid-air, its round eyes filled with exasperation.

Around it, several imposing figures lay or stood.

The supreme dragon lord with scales as black as iron and the dragon emperor with an aura as vast as the sea were both yawning lazily at this moment, their expressions indifferent as if it were none of their business.

"I've told you all, it's better to offer help in times of need than to add to someone's success!"

Xiao Fei's voice was clear but tinged with urgency, and dragon saliva splashed as she spoke, turning into tiny specks of light in the air.

"Now is no longer the best time."

If we don't increase investment, our dragon race will really fall behind!

It talked on and on for half an hour, until its mouth was dry and its throat felt tight.

But when you look up, those supreme dragon lords and dragon emperors, high above all others, still show no emotion on their faces.

Some even close their eyes and pretend to sleep, not even bothering to glance at it.

Xiao Fei felt a surge of powerlessness and a sense of despair that she couldn't "carry" anything.

Ancestors!

Our ancestors!

It frantically circled in mid-air several times, its voice pleading, "Since you believe I came from the future, and believe in my dragon identity, why don't you believe what I say?!"

"In the future, our dragon race and the human race will be deeply intertwined, sharing life and death!"

Xiao Fei paused, then, as if remembering something, added, "If I weren't so playful and didn't like being controlled, I'd probably have formed a contract with some human little guy I liked by now (a dragon's normal lifespan is one hundred years)..."

After he finished speaking, the hall remained silent.

Xiao Fei gritted her teeth, still unwilling to give up, and continued to persuade, "Let's put aside everything else and first express our support for His Majesty the Xia Emperor, is that not allowed?"

This is a very cost-effective thing!

"In this way, we have gained the upper hand and have a legitimate reason to act."

Our ancestors can gradually add more investment later!

It stared longingly at the crowd, hoping for even the slightest response.

"call--"

A long sigh broke the silence.

A giant rock dragon, its entire body made of rock, raised its head from the clouds.

He lifted his heavy eyelids slightly, his voice light yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Little Fei, you said it yourself, that Qinglong guy is already considered an 'initial public offering' (IPO) stock."

"Since it's paving the way, all we at Wanlong Valley need to do is follow suit and get a share of the profits."

Why rush into getting involved in that messy situation in the magical dimension?

"really!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flying dragon formed from thousands of miles of colorful clouds circled over.

The voice was ethereal and otherworldly: "The waters of the magical plane are too deep."

The four kings of the Dark Realm are eyeing us covetously; dozens of avatars of the Dark King, sharing the same origin but with different wills, lurk in various places; there are also the emperors of the Ten Great Ridges, the reclusive powerhouses of the Kunlun and Tianshan realms, and countless extraterrestrial demons that have fallen over the years lurking in the shadows…”

Its tone became more serious: "Back then, the four high-level emperors, including Qinglong, along with a group of talented juniors, tried their best but still couldn't gain a foothold in the magic plane."

It would be too risky for us to intervene rashly now.

"and,"

Another ice dragon, its body covered in ice crystals, slowly spoke, its voice icy and chilling: "Emperor Chu Ming's rise has been too rapid. His foundation is not yet stable, yet he has already shown his sharp edge and has become the target of everyone's criticism."

"If we take sides now, and he collapses under pressure from all sides, won't Wanlong Valley be implicated?"

"That's right!" Lei Longjun's voice rang out with crackling lightning. "We have lived for hundreds of thousands of years and have seen too many powerful figures who only had a fleeting moment of glory."

I've seen people like him before!

Whether the Xia emperor can stabilize the situation remains to be seen.

Rather than taking a risky gamble, it's better to wait and see.

Xiao Fei's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she hurriedly retorted, "It's not the same!"

Emperor Xia was different from those mediocre people!

The Great Xia Dynasty will become the ruler of the universe in the future; following it will definitely not be a mistake!

Who can predict the future?

Yanlong gently shook his head, "Time and space are unpredictable, but your bloodline is real!"

The information you bring may not be reliable; there are too many variables in the process.

The Wanlong Valley has a history of millions of years; we cannot gamble the fate of our entire clan for an unknown future.

Caiyun Feilong echoed, "It's not that we don't believe you, it's just that Wanlong Valley needs to be cautious about every step it takes."

"We can wait until we get concrete news from Qinglong, or until Emperor Xia has truly secured his position, before we make our move."

Xiao Fei opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more.

However, they discovered that all the Dragon Lords and Dragon Emperors had closed their eyes again, clearly unwilling to continue the topic.

It hovered in mid-air, looking at the scene before it, and felt a tightness in its chest.

Knowing full well what the future holds, yet unable to persuade these stubborn ancestors, this sense of powerlessness is about to overwhelm him.

But it knew in its heart that it couldn't just give up like that.

For the sake of the dragon race's future, it must find a way to change the minds of these ancestors.

It's so hard for me, Fei Xuantong!
