Who knows how much time passed.
One day, a somewhat weary Lu Daosheng finally returned to Huang City.
"Phew, this trip was truly not easy."
"Xiao Xue."
"Hmm?! Xiao Xue!!"
"Someone!"
The next moment, Jiang Yuan immediately appeared before Lu Daosheng.
"City Lord, you've returned."
However, Lu Daosheng's expression was somewhat flustered, and he frowned, saying, "Where is Xiao Xue?"
"City Lord, Young Miss left with Ouyang Yanqing and Lord Ao Qing. As for where they went, this old servant does not know."
"What?! Who let her leave? Why didn't you stop her?"
Hearing that his daughter had left without a word,
Lu Daosheng immediately felt a surge of anger.
Immediately, Jiang Yuan quickly knelt on the ground.
"City Lord, please calm your anger."
This was the first time he had seen Lu Daosheng so angry.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Daosheng calmed down a bit, knowing it wasn't Jiang Yuan's fault.
"Old Jiang, you may withdraw."
"Yes, City Lord."
As Jiang Yuan left, Lu Daosheng looked up at the starry sky, his heart filled with worry.
Although Ao Qing and Ouyang Yanqing, two individuals of considerable strength, were accompanying her, Lu Daosheng was still uneasy.
Of course, he wasn't worried about Lu Xue's safety, but rather that his daughter might encounter some unsavory characters who would lead his precious daughter astray.
As for Lu Xue's safety—
Heh heh, the contingency he left on Lu Xue was even capable of obliterating an entire star System.
As long as the opponent's strength wasn't greater than his, his daughter would be absolutely safe.
And just then, Jiang Yuan returned.
Jiang Yuan respectfully held out a letter to Lu Daosheng.
"City Lord, this is a letter this old servant found at your door. I imagine it must have been left by Young Miss."
Upon hearing this, Lu Daosheng's eyelid twitched, and he quickly took the envelope and began to read.
"Father, your daughter wants to see how big the outside world is. Consider it my birthday gift. Do not worry."
Looking at the letter, Lu Daosheng remained silent for a long time.
Birthday.
Since the System's arrival, he seemed to have never celebrated a birthday again.
He had even forgotten his own daughter's birthday.
In an instant, Lu Daosheng's heart was filled with complex emotions.
It seemed he needed to reflect on himself.
"Very well, I'll let you indulge this once."
Lu Daosheng shook his head with a smile, then slowly walked into the house.
...
Cultivate knows no years; in the blink of an eye, the Evil Demon Clan invasion countdown was down to the last ten years.
Now, at the borders of the Universe, Devilish Qi was steaming, and strange powers continuously overflowed from the cracks at the Universe's edge.
"Old Yang, it seems our Hongmeng Universe doesn't have much time left."
On the defense line, a powerful individual looked at the scene before him, a helpless bitter smile on his face.
Hearing this, Old Yang's gaze was cold.
"When soldiers come, we block them; when water comes, we cover it with earth. We were able to repel the Evil Demon Clan before, and this time, we can do the same."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding people immediately regained some confidence.
But even though Old Yang said that, he didn't have much confidence himself.
After all, the current strength of the Hongmeng Universe was far less than its strength during the last great Universe war. This time, it would be even more tragic than the last war.
Looking at the nearly hundred powerful individuals around him, Old Yang's expression was calm, but his heart was filled with continuous sorrow.
These were already the most top-tier combat forces in the Universe. If even they couldn't hold on, then who else could protect the Hongmeng Universe?
Could it be that the Hongmeng Universe truly couldn't escape this calamity?
......
Inside Huang City.
On this day, countless powerful individuals within the City Lord's Mansion put down their affairs and rushed into the main hall.
This was due to the summons of the City Lord, the most magnificent existence in Huang City.
"Your subordinates greet the City Lord!"
Inside the hall, Ancient Dust and the others respectfully greeted Lu Daosheng.
At the very top, Lu Daosheng's gaze swept over them, and he immediately revealed a satisfied smile.
Over these many years, all his subordinates had greatly improved.
Ancient Dust, A Wei, An Xing, and the others had all entered the Unknown Realm.
As for Yun Qi, because he was creating a new army, he hadn't made much progress in Cultivation, but he had still reached the Peak of the Unknown Realm.
However, this level of strength was still not enough to contend with the Evil Demon Clan.
Therefore, Lu Daosheng wanted to give them another concentrated boost.
"In ten years, the Evil Demon Clan will completely break through the Universe's boundary barrier and invade our Hongmeng Universe. Therefore, your strength still needs to be further improved."
Lu Daosheng said slowly.
Immediately, his palm-sized world appeared.
Then, the Law of Time flowed rapidly.
One year outside, ten thousand years inside.
"It's still the same old saying: how much Breakthrough you can achieve depends on yourselves."
Upon seeing the palm-sized world, everyone was incredibly excited.
The profound mysteries and Opportunity within it were understood only by those who had entered; it was truly exhilarating.
"Thank you, City Lord. We will not fail your expectations."
Immediately, everyone's figures flickered, and they all entered the palm-sized world.
The main hall immediately returned to tranquility.
Watching everyone in the palm-sized world diligently searching for Opportunity to improve their strength without daring to slack off, Lu Daosheng felt relieved. Then, he took out a mirror.
This item was also a rare and supreme Magic Treasure, a divination-type Magic Treasure.
With a thought from Lu Daosheng, the mirror immediately showed the image of a woman.
It was none other than his daughter, Lu Xue.
So many years had passed, and Lu Xue still hadn't returned. Lu Daosheng wasn't angry.
Because at this moment, Lu Xue was clearly sitting in a mysterious Dao field, with countless pure energies and Legacies continuously pouring into her body.
This was Lu Xue's Opportunity.
And Lu Daosheng had also deduced that it was indeed beneficial for Lu Xue.
So Lu Daosheng did not interfere, it was just that the time was a bit too long.
Not far from Lu Xue, Ouyang Yanqing sat quietly, as if she were an invisible person.
But as soon as there was any danger nearby, she would instantly act.
As for Ao Qing, he was clearly asleep at this moment.
However, his massive, winding body had completely encircled the entire Dao field.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion's main hall.
Lu Daosheng put away the Dao Mirror and sat in place, pondering.
His own strength, looking at the entire Hongmeng Universe, was absolutely invincible.
What about those outside?
For example, the Wanling Realm.
Would there be existences above the Heavenly Fate Realm in the Wanling Realm?
In an instant, Lu Daosheng became extremely curious about the strength of the Wanling Realm.
He knew that not long after dealing with the Evil Demon Clan, he would set off for the Wanling Realm.
Before that, understanding it in advance might not be a bad thing.
Ao Qing.
Currently, the only Wanling Realm creature in the Hongmeng Universe.
Wait, how could he have forgotten that guy?
The guy guarding the Time-Space River.
That guy recognized his strength, and even accurately stated his Heavenly Fate Realm strength.
Thinking of this, Lu Daosheng immediately reached his hand into the Void Realm, then pulled, and the next moment, a long river filled with endless Space-Time Law and Dao Qi appeared before Lu Daosheng.
However, the Time-Space River was incredibly silent, with not even a single figure.
This caused Lu Daosheng to frown slightly.
Lu Daosheng then directly stepped into the Time-Space River, going against the current towards the upstream direction. This act could be said to be unprecedented.
It was well known that the Time-Space River recorded everything that had happened in history.
Therefore, as Lu Daosheng went against the current, he also saw countless events from before the Hongmeng Universe.
For example, when his Huang City was just rebuilt.
His wife leaving.
Lu Xue's birth.
His first meeting with his wife.
Just arriving in this world.
Further back, Lu Daosheng saw much more.
The gradual decline of the Hongmeng Universe.
Seeing this, Lu Daosheng frowned slightly, then suddenly accelerated his speed a bit.
Immediately, Lu Daosheng saw a magnificent figure.
He stood above the Tianxuan World, using an indescribable method to hide a Legacy in a certain corner of the Tianxuan World.
And that place was precisely the current Evil God Abyss.
Seeing this scene, Lu Daosheng was somewhat shocked.
But he didn't speculate, and continued forward.
The Evil Demon Clan fought a great battle with countless top powerhouses of the Hongmeng Universe, and among them was the figure he had just seen.
Ancient texts recorded that in ancient times, in the Xuangu Star System, eight Kings stood supreme.
And later, when the Evil Demon Clan invaded, the eight Kings participated in the war and ultimately all sacrificed themselves.
Therefore, the person just now was Xuan King, one of the eight Kings of the Xuangu Star System.
It seemed he had already known his fate, so he had left his Legacy in the Tianxuan World in advance.
And Lu Daosheng also understood why the Evil Demon Clan appeared in the Tianxuan World.
Their goal should be the Legacy left by Xuan King.
However, they were suppressed by Ancient Dust, and the place of suppression, coincidentally, was the Evil God Abyss.
This was utterly absurd.
Even more absurd was that he hadn't even noticed it.
This Xuan King truly had some tricks up his sleeve.
Moreover, even though he knew his own fate, he still resolutely chose to fight the Evil Demon Clan.
For this alone, Lu Daosheng held immense admiration.
And just as Lu Daosheng was about to move forward, a bitter voice suddenly sounded from the field.
"Senior, please do not go any further."
