His next goal was to break through the Iron Tree World and go to the River World to reign supreme.
Gong Gong had to be said to be a man of great ambition. He grew up in the Star World, knocked down Buzhou Mountain, settled in the Tree World, and rose from a mere soldier to the position of king. Later, he gradually developed and expanded his power, attempting to break this world further.
In the past, after Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the Earth Star World was in chaos. If not for Nuwa mending the sky, it would have been destroyed.
What would be the fate of the Tree World today, after suffering Gong Gong's devastating blow?
Perhaps someone would still step forward and turn the tide.
But as it stood, Gong Gong was as fierce as a tiger, and no one could stop him.
However, he should not have offended him. No matter how powerful he was, he would eventually become his enemy.
But he couldn't list him as his primary target for revenge for now; his lifespan was long anyway.
His current priority was to deal with Lian Min and the Green Leaf Kingdom!
Lian Min was destined to die, that was a given.
As for the Green Leaf Kingdom, it was precisely because of their invasion that the Red Leaf Kingdom was annihilated.
Therefore, this was an irreconcilable hatred!
As for Zi Luo and her father, he planned to torment them to death slowly.
After all, she was now in his hands, and he could torment her however he pleased.
Mo Qi glanced at Wei Sanxiao. "There are no problems. Even if you didn't say it, I would have gone in."
He then scanned his surroundings and asked, "Where is my uncle Ye Xingchen? I don't see him."
Ye Xingchen had been a loyal supporter of his father, Ye Xingqun, back then.
Even if everyone in the world betrayed his father, he would never betray him.
Therefore, he wanted to know his whereabouts.
"He..." Wei Sanxiao stammered, "We don't know. The clan leader secretly imprisoned him back then and forbade anyone from mentioning him. But we suspect he's under Broken Stone Cliff."
"Alright, then find a way to release him, and I'll enter the ancestral shrine," Mo Qi said.
Wei Sanxiao was about to speak when Elder Lang said, "Whether you enter the ancestral shrine or not, I believe you should be our clan leader now. No one else is capable or trustworthy. More importantly, Qing Qing believes in you, and Qing Qing currently represents the royal lineage."
The other elders nodded in agreement. "What you say makes sense."
Wei Sanxiao's eyes flashed with killing intent, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a meaningful smile.
Elder Lang immediately summoned a clansman. "Little Tong, take the clan leader's family members to rest. Let Qing Qing wash up and change into clean clothes. Ye Gang tormented this child terribly before, and I could only express my anger silently."
Little Tong agreed and trotted off to attend to Sun Qian and the others.
Mo Qi said, "Whether I become the clan leader can be discussed later. If I don't lead everyone to achieve something, no one will be convinced. I suggest we intensify our military training recently. We'll attack the Wei Kingdom first. They were also pawns of Gong Gong back then, and they are considered one of our enemies."
Elder Lang immediately agreed, and the other elders expressed their approval.
Moreover, the astute Elder Lang noticed something and his eyes lit up. "Ah, to be so clear about our clan's history, this must be the Third Prince Ye Yun. Others wouldn't know this much."
The others immediately nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes!"
"Of course, I know. I was indeed young and reckless back then and offended quite a few people. Take you, Elder Lang, for example. You were the Grand Tutor, but you always walked without looking, bumped into me, and I was very angry. I punished you by making you stand outside the main hall for half an hour." Mo Qi said.
Elder Lang was stunned.
At first, he wasn't entirely convinced that the person before him was truly Ye Yun, but after hearing this, he knew it couldn't be fake!
"Alas, that was nothing. I've long forgotten. Besides, what you did then wasn't exactly being young and reckless. Your actions were quite approachable. Other princes would kill people on a whim." After a moment, Elder Lang said dismissively.
Another elder, Elder Ma, stepped forward and asked, "Do you remember anything about me from back then?"
Mo Qi thought to himself that they just wanted to confirm if he was Ye Yun, so it was fine to satisfy their wishes and put them at ease, making them trust him completely.
"I know very little about your affairs. I only remember that you secretly approached me back then, wanting to marry your daughter to me, but I refused." Mo Qi said.
Elder Ma's old face turned red, and he then assured everyone, "This is definitely the Third Prince. I dare to stake my life on it."
Afterward, everyone took turns asking Mo Qi for confirmation, and Mo Qi recounted a few anecdotes for each, making them all convinced.
Finally, everyone was satisfied and overjoyed, except for Wei Sanxiao, whose eyes held a different glint.
Mo Qi was also quite shocked; his memory was so clear after tens of thousands of years.
In fact, many memories were etched deep within the heart. You couldn't recall them until you touched upon them. When the trigger point of that memory suddenly appeared, you would recall it as if you had never forgotten.
After everyone confirmed Mo Qi's identity, the atmosphere changed.
The previous tension was replaced by a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere.
Everyone eagerly asked Mo Qi about his experiences over the past tens of thousands of years.
Tens of thousands of years of experiences!
It would take years to tell them all!
Mo Qi could only say that it was a long story and he would share it with them when he had time.
Everyone was understanding and said they would wait for his mood and that he could tell them anytime.
Afterward, the elders went to train the troops, while Mo Qi was taken to the backyard.
All those referred to as Mo Qi's "female dependents" were arranged there.
Mo Qi went to Ye Qing Qing's room first!
Ye Qing Qing was now wearing new clothes. Her hands and feet were clean and fair, and her delicate and exquisite face, combined with her undeveloped physique, made her look like a well-behaved child.
Mo Qi couldn't help but go up, hug Ye Qing Qing, and kiss her cheeks vigorously.
Ye Qing Qing pushed him away and exclaimed, "Brother, I'm not a child anymore. I'm tens of thousands of years old."
Mo Qi put her down and looked at her dotingly. "No matter how old you are, you're still my sister."
Tears welled up in Ye Qing Qing's eyes.
Mo Qi gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Qing Qing, don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you again."
Qing Qing smiled knowingly. "I know, you've already said that."
"Important things are said three times, so there's one more..."
At that moment, a dry cough echoed from inside the room, startling Mo Qi. He quickly turned around and saw Zi Luo standing behind him.
"Why are you here?" Mo Qi asked with a hint of anger.
"Oh, I asked her to accompany me. I get scared at night," Ye Qing Qing said.
"If you're scared, I can accompany you," Mo Qi said seriously.
Ye Qing Qing's face immediately turned red. "I'm already a grown girl, and you want to accompany me? Do you have any common sense?"
"Even so, you shouldn't find her. She's my enemy. What if she has malicious intentions?" Mo Qi said.
Zi Luo turned to leave, but Ye Qing Qing chased after her and grabbed her arm. "Sister, don't go."
Zi Luo seemed older than her, so it was natural for her to call her sister.
Zi Luo said stubbornly, "I will kill you."
Ye Qing Qing smiled. "How can someone with eyes full of love kill me, or my brother?"
Zi Luo glanced at Mo Qi in a flustered manner, then turned back to Ye Qing Qing. "You don't understand anything, so don't talk nonsense."
"I don't understand, as long as you do," Ye Qing Qing continued to smile. "My brother truly doesn't understand."
You child!
Zi Luo felt a bit awkward!
Mo Qi, on the other hand, was completely bewildered. What did she mean by understanding or not understanding? It was all a mess.
Seeing that Qing Qing insisted on keeping Zi Luo there, Mo Qi had no choice but to sigh and say to Zi Luo, "If you dare to touch a single hair of my sister, I'll mince you into meat paste."
"As if you would have spared me anyway," Zi Luo retorted without backing down.
Mo Qi was momentarily speechless.
Qing Qing came up and pushed Mo Qi towards the door. "Alright, brother, hurry up and leave. A young lady's boudoir is not a place for you to be."
Mo Qi was inexplicably pushed out.
As soon as he was pushed out, Er Zhu Lin pulled him into another room.
Er Zhu Lin had changed into a palace dress, which accentuated her figure and made her look dignified and elegant.
Mo Qi had to admit that Wan Yan Hong Liang had good reason to choose her as his empress.
With a "bang," Er Zhu Lin closed the door and looked at Mo Qi with alluring eyes. "Do you want to try?"
Mo Qi's heart pounded faster, and he pretended not to understand. "Try what?"
Er Zhu Lin stepped forward to unbutton Mo Qi's clothes, but Mo Qi pushed her away. "Calm down."
Er Zhu Lin felt a bit embarrassed and a little angry. She sat back on the bed.
Mo Qi also sat beside her, looking at her profile. She looked quite good when she was angry, at least better than when she was fawning.
"Tell me, what about me attracts you?" Mo Qi cleared his throat and asked.
Er Zhu Lin said softly, "I don't know."
Mo Qi glanced at her and said with certainty, "You're just looking for a pillar of support! Because you used to have a man who owned the world, who could give you everything you wanted. One day you lost him, and you became penniless. The sudden drop in status made it impossible for you to accept reality, so you desperately wanted to find another pillar of support."
"However, as it stands, you are indeed a rather reliable pillar of support," Er Zhu Lin said.
"Your statement leaves me speechless. I don't even know if I should agree with you. Even if I am a very reliable pillar of support, why must I become yours?"
"Because you brought me out. You have to take responsibility to the end."
Mo Qi almost fainted.
"Are you saying that whoever rescues you, you'll cling to them, regardless of whether you like them or not?" Mo Qi asked.
"It's not that I'll cling to whoever rescues me; it also depends on whether they are reliable," Er Zhu Lin said nonchalantly.
"Haven't you considered whether you like them or not? What if you choose wrongly?"
"Does liking or not liking matter? I just want to become a king's woman," Er Zhu Lin said.
"..."
Mo Qi felt that he couldn't make her understand and left her room.
He then went to other rooms successively.
