Chapter 5017 No Regrets

Chapter 5017 No Regrets
Xiao Yan did not linger at Ding Yue's place, but returned to the Xiao residence.

For the next few months, Xiao Yan hardly left the Xiao residence, and the entire Xiao residence was filled with revelry every night.

"Young Master Xiao seems to be in a bit of a temper this time," Xiao Zhan muttered to himself.

"It's not easy for him to come back, so we can understand why we shouldn't bother him."

The Xiao family never stopped. During this time, Xiao Yan's wives all improved their strength. For Xiao Yan, who was even stronger, they were practicing dual cultivation.

Jenny broke through three realms in succession, and with her own cultivation, she reached the Seven Star Battle God realm!
Xiao Qi remained at the five-star Dou Xian level for a long time. Even though she cultivated diligently, she didn't make much progress. However, during the days she spent with Xiao Yan without stopping, she broke through to the eight-star Dou Shen level.

"Cultivation can be so simple! Husband, let's not stop..."

The one who improved the most was Xun'er. Her talent was already good, and with the Netherworld as her backing, coupled with the changes in the rules of Shenxi, her cultivation speed improved rapidly.

However, most of them are limited by their own talents. Xun'er remained at the five-star Dou Shen level for a long time. This time, during her dual cultivation with Xiao Yan, her realm broke through to the nine-star Dou Shen level in one fell swoop.

Then, under Xiao Yan's guidance and with the help of elixirs, Xun'er broke through to the Emperor Immortal realm once again!
However, Xiao Yan would share his world energy with his wives, and he would not be stingy with them, but would do his best to help them improve their strength.

Besides that, there is Qing Mu'er, whose strength has also increased to the Seven-Star Battle God.

Finally, there's Qing Lin. Her bloodline talent has also reached its limit, but her strength has broken through to the level of a five-star Battle God.

For them, without Xiao Yan, they had already reached the limit of their strength. If they wanted to break through, they would have to obtain great fortune and fight for it.

However, with Xiao Yan protecting them and not wanting them to take any more risks, it's perfectly normal that their strength improvement is slow.

No matter how hard one cultivates in the Ancient God Realm, cultivation without life-or-death crises will ultimately be much less effective.

Since he began cultivating, every breakthrough he has made has been for the purpose of protecting himself and surviving, so that he can continuously improve and advance.

Of Xiao Yan's five wives, only these five remain after Cai Ling left.

However, as the Empress said, none of his five wives were able to form a bloodline with the Primal God.

News also came from Ding Yue that they were unable to conceive a child of the Primal God.

The Empress did not lie to him; without great fortune, it would be impossible to give birth to the Primordial God race, which had already been wiped out in the vast world.

Xiao Yan returned to the Thousand Machines Pavilion and asked the Empress what he should do next.

"If I really have a child with Ye Beijing, will this child bring calamity to Shenxi?"

This was Xiao Yan's biggest worry. Every time he came to the Thousand Machines Pavilion, the Empress was painting. Her brushstrokes were perfectly controlled, with just the right amount of force.

"The Child of the Primordial God is a bloodline you brought with you. Although it once belonged to the Vast Expanse, those with ulterior motives wanted to destroy it. And you have allowed it to be reborn, which will surely bring disaster." The Empress said slowly. Xiao Yan fell silent upon hearing this. A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, but he did not get up and leave immediately.

"But if the Primordial Gods can truly grow and spread throughout the Divine Bliss, it will be extremely beneficial to the subsequent battle situation."

The Empress then added that, just as the Ancestor of the Beginning and End said, if Xiao Yan could revive the bloodline of the Primordial God, he could help Shen Xi fight and give birth to a powerful member of the Primordial God clan.

"But according to the information we have, the Primordial God race is one of the main culprits that caused the destruction of Cangmang. The Primordial God race that grows up will be arrogant and plundering. The advantages and disadvantages are obvious. It depends on how you choose."

The Empress did not make the choice for Xiao Yan, but instead gave him the power of choice.

Xiao Yan frowned upon hearing this. It was indeed a very difficult choice. Shen Xi's chances of winning this battle were extremely low. If the Primordial God Clan were present, it might slightly increase their chances of victory.

However, it would also bring unavoidable consequences and unknown dangers. But from the perspective of its drawbacks, reviving the Genshin Impact clan is not advisable.

Xiao Yan remained silent for a long time. The only sounds in the Thousand Machines Pavilion were the Empress lightly dipping her brush in ink and the soft scratching of the brush on the rice paper.

After a long while, Xiao Yan finally finished thinking.

"The arrogance of the Primordial Gods lies in themselves. Their personalities are formed later in life, and can be changed and controlled. What worries me most is the cause of the destruction of the Vast World," Xiao Yan said. He had promised not only the Ancestor of Beginning and End, but also the Golden Illusion God and the Primordial God seniors he encountered on his journey.

And all along the way, the Evil Lord and the Venerable One had preserved this original god clone for him. Was their only purpose to protect Xiao Yan?
Or perhaps... His Majesty had already foreseen this, leaving behind the only primordial god bloodline so that he could use the power of the primordial god to resist the void and all unknown dangers.

The Empress simply smiled and said nothing more, leaving everything to Xiao Yan to decide.

"Nan Fu, if it were His Majesty... what would he choose?"

Xiao Yan still posed the question to the Empress. He dared not be careless now, as his wisdom and cunning were far inferior to the Empress's deep and far-sightedness.

"You idiot, don't you even have the courage to make a decision? If it were His Majesty, he wouldn't have bothered asking me at all."

The Empress smiled helplessly, but there was no annoyance in her smile towards Xiao Yan. Instead, her eyes were filled with extreme doting. She found Xiao Yan's serious and earnest appearance incredibly adorable.

Xiao Yan remained silent; there was no need to ask any further questions after that.

He stood up, preparing to leave Qianji Pavilion.

Just as he was about to leave, the Queen's voice rang out again.

"Xiao Yan, once a move is made, there's no going back. When soldiers come, we'll meet them head-on. If you're willing, it won't be a disaster. The most important thing is that you believe in any decision you make."

The Empress's words caused Xiao Yan to tremble slightly. He was actually a very opinionated person, but now that it concerned the survival of the world, he had to think it over and over again.

After the Empress said those words, Xiao Yan turned his head to the side, and the light from outside the palace shone on his face, making his eyes look incredibly resolute.

"Alright, then let this wildfire that should have been extinguished reignite!"

Xiao Yan's words were firm and resolute. He had made his decision: he would revive the Primordial God bloodline no matter what. The Primordial God clan's feud and the truth behind Cangmang's destruction were matters for Xiao Yan to handle!

Therefore, to give birth to this child, it is necessary to find someone who can crystallize with the original god's clone.

Aside from the Empress, only Ye Beijing could do that.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly and naturally, and Ye Beijing was indeed the most suitable candidate. However, this made Xiao Yan feel guilty.

Therefore, he must make his purpose clear before the matter is accomplished, and he will not force Ye Beijing to do so if she is unwilling.
