Chu Tian suddenly felt like crying without tears.
However, upon seeing the two figures.
He suddenly took a deep breath.
Fortunately, it wasn't a woman…
"Kid… I'm asking you, is the wine in that small white bottle from your world?"
The one speaking was one of the two figures, the drunkard Old Li.
Hearing this, Chu Tian couldn't help but want to laugh.
This old fellow must have his eyes on his wine and wanted to ask for some.
"It is indeed produced where I'm from. I've left all my stock for you, old man!"
"As long as it's from your place, your little stock… even if I drink it sparingly, it'll only last me two years. Old man me… thinking about being able to drink to my heart's content over there, how about that?"
The old fellow, with his bulbous, red nose, was clearly still drunk.
His intention in speaking was to go with Chu Tian.
"This…" Before Chu Tian could speak, he saw Old Li flick his sleeve.
"Don't 'this' and 'that' me. And what about that bitter, red wine, is it also from your place?"
"Yes…" Chu Tian uttered a single word.
"Then it's fine. Old Wei wants to come along too!" Old Li said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Chu Tian cast his gaze towards Wei Du, the old City Lord, standing beside him.
But Old City Lord's gaze did not focus on Chu Tian.
Instead, it fell upon the four shy quadruplet girls.
"You girls… alas… truly, daughters grow up and leave the nest!" He shook his head and sighed.
Clearly, he did not know that these four quadruplet girls had eloped.
They were infants found by Wei Du, who had raised them to this age.
Although they were servants, he treated them like his own granddaughters.
Seeing them standing here with bags and parcels.
How could he not know what they were about to do, or what they were thinking?
After speaking, he finally looked at Chu Tian and shook his head.
Chu Tian also looked embarrassed, wanting to say, "It wasn't me who abducted the girls!"
But he saw Wei Du smile faintly and slowly say.
"So be it. I've spent most of my life in this Sea of Death, never seeing green.
I wonder what the scenery is like where you are? Are there green mountains and clear waters for me to spend my remaining years?
And to have four granddaughters to serve me, that would be a comfortable life!"
As expected of someone who had been a City Lord, his words carried more weight than Old Li's.
"Naturally!
The wine will be plentiful…
And I'll find you a place by the water, with mountains nearby, and build a villa for your retirement.
However, don't you want grandchildren?"
As Chu Tian spoke, he looked behind Wei Du.
Wei Jin had also come out.
Wei Du turned around and beckoned Wei Jin.
"Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. My entire life, I've lived in hatred and worried myself sick over the Southwestern Region. It's time I lived for myself!"
As he said this, Wei Jin's eyes misted over, and he didn't utter words of retention.
With his single arm, he hugged his old father tightly.
Seeing this, Chu Tian's eyes welled up with emotion!
His mother had seen him, but what about his father, whom he had never met?
The last time he met his mother, she hadn't mentioned it.
He hadn't dared to ask, fearing he would upset her by bringing up painful memories.
Thus, to this day, he still didn't know who his father was.
"From now on, this place will be handed over to you!" Wei Du released his son.
"Father, please rest assured!"
The father and son didn't exchange many words, but their reluctance was evident.
Chu Tian had wanted to dissuade Wei Du, but seeing Wei Du's gaze.
He swallowed the words back into his heart.
A moment later, at Wei Du's persuasion, Dong Dong and Wei Jin left.
Watching their departing backs, Wei Du softly said, "Fledglings will eventually spread their wings… but this old bone has lived too long!
And I can still live longer…
If I don't leave, how can he soar to the heavens?"
As he said this, everyone present looked at Wei Du with changed expressions.
For at this moment, this old fellow, who was merely at the God of War realm,
Had become unfathomably profound, his aura ethereal and elusive.
He seemed immensely strong, even stronger than Dong Dong's aura.
Yet, he also seemed incredibly weak, like an old man on his last breath, about to pass away.
"Old City Lord… what is this?" Chu Tian looked at Wei Du with immense shock.
"This old bastard, two months ago, secretly snuck out and crossed the Heavenly Tribulation twice…" Old Li mumbled while taking a swig of wine.
"What? Twice Heavenly Tribulation? How could that be…" Chu Tian was incredulous.
"That Qi Soul Bead is truly powerful… and it wasn't just twice Heavenly Tribulation… there was also a Heart Demon Tribulation…" Wei Du gave an affirmative reply, but a trace of fear flickered in his eyes as he spoke the last part.
"Heart Demon Tribulation… then your current cultivation?"
"Above Void Realm… as for what cultivation that is, I can't even name it!"
Chu Tian knew that he must have consumed the Qi Soul Beads brought back by Wei Jin.
It was said there were over a thousand, and he didn't know how many had been used.
"Heh heh… small white bottle paired with Qi Soul Beads, and I'll reach your realm soon too!" Old Li said, beaming at Chu Tian.
Chu Tian was speechless. Last night, he had already distributed many Qi Soul Beads to them.
It seemed Old Li still felt it wasn't enough, hence he wanted to go with Chu Tian.
However, Chu Tian didn't have any other thoughts. Although Old Li was driven by self-interest,
He wasn't a cunning schemer. The old fellow openly asked for it.
Against such a person, Chu Tian was truly at a loss.
More importantly, Old Li would truly step up if there was trouble.
In this great battle, although he survived, he was pushed back by Old Qin's palm.
Otherwise, he would have met the same fate of self-detonation.
Furthermore, he and Old Wei were rivals in love, yet they had managed to get along for decades.
Remaining alone until now, such a loyal and righteous person was precisely who Chu Tian respected the most.
They chatted for a while longer, and Chu Tian kept an eye on their surroundings.
Finally, he said, "We… leave…"
"Dede… Boss, you better not say those two words!" Xiao Hei chimed in.
"We should hurry, Old Yang is waiting impatiently!" Miao Zuo also chimed in.
Chu Tian immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking. With a wave of his hand, a dark purple door appeared out of thin air.
It was Chu Tian's Divine Gate.
Upon seeing this, everyone looked up at the sky again.
Bidding a final farewell, they stepped into Chu Tian's Divine Gate.
After Chu Tian put away the Divine Gate, he waved towards the direction of the great hall.
There, those who had said they wouldn't see them off were all standing within the hall's entrance, in the shadows.
He opened his task panel.
In the ultimate task box, he clicked to complete the task.
[Ding… System Prompt: Task completed, reward obtained: God-Tier Talent – Immortality! Due to the high difficulty of the task completion, the Immortality talent takes effect immediately, no need to participate in the contention battle!]
Following this, Chu Tian was enveloped in a white light as the task was completed.
The next moment, yesterday, he felt his body gradually becoming ethereal.
His entire body seemed to decompose into ionic states.
He passed through an endless darkness.
When he regained his vision.
Looking around his body, he felt as if he was confined within some sort of capsule.
For a moment, he didn't react.
After composing himself, he confirmed his location.
It was his X-SUP model virtual pod, a limited edition worth over 30 million.
Seeing the light filtering through the external lens, it was daytime.
The Heavenly Dao World was in a rest period when he returned.
Therefore, he was directly ejected from the system.
After a brief rest to adapt to his bodily functions.
Chu Tian pushed open the hatch.
Finally, he was back…一一… I'm back!
Chu Tian now felt an irresistible urge to find Luo Yiyi!
He picked up his phone, which was placed beside him, and was about to dial when he suddenly remembered that this was the Ma family's pocket dimension.
There was no mobile signal here.
Helplessly, he stuffed the phone into his pocket.
He pushed open the door of the starry sky room, intending to greet everyone.
Then, he would leave the Ma family's pocket dimension to call Yiyi outside.
But suddenly, after he came out.
He found the entire Ma family's pocket dimension eerily silent.
He went to check the adjacent starry sky rooms.
Zhao Lei, Gao Kai, Lin Ran… and others.
All had vanished. He extended his divine sense!
Inside the Ma family's residences, there was also no one.
"Hmm? They're all over there…" Chu Tian cast his gaze towards the entrance of the Ma family's pocket dimension.
"Yiyi? And him…" But the next moment, Chu Tian's expression changed.
He sensed something unusual over there.
