Chapter 140: Morning Star's Suspicion, the Ambitions of the Two Little Ones

After years of research, Chen Mi had no choice but to completely abandon the idea of finding the origin of the bronze coffin.

"Brother! How about we take this bronze coffin with us? That way we can study it whenever we want. What do you think?" Seeing Chen Xing leisurely sipping tea, Chen Mi asked with a hint of reluctance.

Chen Xing looked at her with an amused smile and persuaded her:

"Forget it. No matter what its origin is, we must wait until it completes its mission before you can make a move, right? Besides, it won't be many years now!"

At this point, a flash of murderous intent crossed Chen Xing's eyes. He slowly set down his teacup and said, "If there is still no way by then, I wouldn't mind taking it apart!"

Chen Mi nodded fiercely! It was not because the two of them possessed an overwhelming urge for destruction, nor were they simply too bored.

As the supreme existence across all realms, Chen Xing deeply resented things that remained beyond his control!

He had searched his memories of his past incarnation, yet found no records whatsoever relating to this Three-Lives Bronze Coffin!

This caused Chen Xing to harbor suspicions regarding the notion from his past life's memories that the Primordial Realm was the sole and ultimate existence! If that were truly the case, how could one explain the origin of this bronze coffin?

"Brother! Why don't you completely lift your seal and see if you can figure out its origin?" Chen Mi suddenly asked with a cheeky smile.

Chen Xing rolled his eyes at her and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll revert to what my past self used to be, and then go on to destroy the Mountains and Seas Realm?"

Thinking of the utterly impartial yet cold and merciless Primordial Dao Lord, Chen Mi couldn't help but shudder inwardly! Her face turned slightly pale, and she forced a smile as she said:

"Then let's forget about it! I certainly don't want to see you like that!"

Seeing his younger sister so frightened, Chen Xing sighed softly, reached out to stroke her hair, and said, "Don't worry! No matter what happens, your brother will never hurt you."

Hearing Chen Xing say this, a wave of warmth washed over Chen Mi's heart. She leaned her head against Chen Xing's shoulder and softly murmured:

"Brother, you will eventually recover the identity of the Primordial Dao Lord! By then, I'm afraid you might forget all of us!"

Chen Xing could not help but smile bitterly. Indeed! As the very source of the Dao, if he continued to refrain from restoring his identity as the Primordial Dao Lord, the Primordial Realm would no longer give birth to new chaotic spaces and dimensional worlds!

Without the creation of new worlds, his Primordial Realm would also gradually drift toward destruction! Perhaps this day was still a long way off, but it would inevitably arrive.

Chen Xing felt a sense of vexation. Back then, he had desperately striven to perfect his Dao heart. Yet when it was finally perfected, he had sealed it away with his own hands!

He recalled the bizarre circumstances surrounding the birth of his precious daughter all those years ago!

Furthermore, there was the mysterious figure who had plotted against his younger sister's past life, Youran!

Coupled with this bizarre Three-Lives Bronze Coffin before them now, Chen Xing could not help but smile bitterly! It seemed there were still many things he did not yet understand!

Just as Chen Xing was feeling somewhat vexed and unsure of how to vent his frustration, Chen Mi suddenly straightened her posture and asked curiously:

"Brother! Tell me, if you were to recover your true identity and then kill me, would I truly and completely vanish?

"Would I be like the people of this world—as long as someone still remembers me, I could be reborn at some point in time? After all, I am far more powerful than they are."

Hearing his sister's whimsical notion, Chen Xing felt somewhat helpless. He was the Primordial Dao Lord, after all! To be destroyed by him was equivalent to being completely erased from the long river of time and space, leaving no trace of ever having existed. How could such a person ever be reborn?

Suddenly, a light sparked in Chen Xing's eyes as he recalled those bizarre events. Could this indicate that beyond the Primordial Realm, there existed other realms similar to it? Or perhaps, there were living beings even more formidable than himself?

If that were the case, not only would these bizarre occurrences find an explanation, but even the issue of not daring to fully lift his seal might also have a solution!

Although this was something even he himself dared to find hard to believe, a trace of anticipation stirred deep within his heart.

Despite being a supreme existence, Chen Xing had never been a person of grand ambitions. Ever since he arrived in this world, he had spent his days idling about, wandering around freely with two little ones, which was proof enough of his temperament.

If there truly were a way to preserve the Primordial Realm while ensuring the safety of his family, he would not mind if someone else's status surpassed his own.

However, this was merely his own conjecture at the moment, with no evidence to prove the existence of realms similar to the Primordial Realm.

Reaching out to pat Chen Mi's head, Chen Xing said calmly with a faint smile, "Alright, don't worry! Just remember that your brother will never harm you."

At that moment, the two little ones came running over, hugging the Black Tortoise. Spotting Chen Xing, little Chenchen hurriedly cried out, "Daddy! Daddy! We have something to ask you."

Hearing this, Chen Xing squatted down, gathered the two rushing little ones into his arms, and asked softly, " Weren't you playing with little Wu? What is it you need Daddy for?"

Little Wu was the name the two little ones had given to the Undying Medicine of the Black Tortoise! They believed that since the Black Tortoise Undying Medicine was now their friend, it deserved a proper name of its own!

Truth be told, the two little ones had been exceptionally good to the Black Tortoise, replenishing it with ample undying substance every day, almost exhausting the remaining third-generation Huangzhong plums Chen Mi had left.

Had the Undying Medicine not been suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth, unable to take human form, this world would have already gained another 'Immortal'.

Nowadays, the Black Tortoise paid no attention to its original master whatsoever, single-mindedly trying to curry favor with the two little ones instead!

It understood that if it harbored even a shred of hope to break free from the suppression of heaven and earth, that hope undoubtedly lay with Chen Xing and his family!

After all, throughout eternity, only the Undead Emperor Wan Qing had managed by sheer coincidence to sever his true form and take human shape; never had there been a second. This showed just how difficult it was for an Undying Medicine to transform.

This also meant that when the old man of Undead Mountain saw the Black Tortoise again, the creature simply pretended not to know him, leaving the old man utterly amused and exasperated.

"I heard little Wu say that in other places, there are many beings just like it, hunted every single day and living such pitiful lives!" little Chenchen said softly, her eyes filled with deep sympathy.

"And what are you girls planning to do about it?" Chen Xing asked, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"We want to rescue them and bring them all back to our home!" the little one suddenly straightened her small chest and declared with grand, soaring ambition.

"Yes! Save them!" Little Nannan beside her nodded vigorously as well, indicating she shared the exact same thought.

Chen Xing was somewhat dumbfounded. Other people went out hunting Undying Medicines just to treat them like revered ancestors and worship them!

Yet his own daughter seemed to think she was acting like a hero saving people from fire and water! What kind of logic was this? Why did he find himself completely unable to follow?

Suddenly, as if realizing something, he turned his gaze toward the Black Tortoise. He caught the creature blinking its mung-bean-sized eyes before guiltily looking away, not daring to meet Chen Xing's gaze.

Chen Xing could not help but laugh and cry at the same time. The rascal wanted to transform itself, yet it had the nerve to worry about its fellow kind, treating his household as if they ran a charitable estate!

Looking at his daughter's lofty and ambitious expression, though Chen Xing found it amusing, he figured that since he had brought his daughters out to play in the first place, he might as well indulge them.

Thus, Chen Xing straightened his expression, put on a serious look, and gave a thumbs-up as he said:

"As expected of my two precious girls, you think things through so thoroughly! We must definitely rescue them from the hands of the bad guys!" With a wave of his large hand, he declared, "Let's pack up and get ready to set off!"

Seeing that Chen Xing agreed, the two little ones cheered instantly. Each planted a kiss on either side of Chen Xing's cheeks, then happily scooped up the Black Tortoise and scurried back to their room to prepare.

Beside them, Chen Mi was already laughing so hard she was clutching her stomach, gasping out intermittent words: "Haha... Brother... Brother, you're... you're going to cut off... the retreat of all those supremes... supremes!"

Chen Xing shrugged and smiled faintly: "As long as the little ones are happy, I couldn't care less whether those people live or die. They're just a bunch of dried bones in rotting tombs anyway."
