Chapter 1021 In the Name of the Father, the Greatest Work
Three days later, the City of the Heavens stood tall in the starry sky.
“I gave that mask to Xiaonannan.”
"Oh."
“Logically speaking, this mask is not unclaimed property and should belong to Xiaonannan. But I, as her older brother, still owe you one, and I will definitely repay you in the future.”
"Oh."
"Can't you say something else?"
"Ah."
A completely pointless conversation.
Ye Fan looked at Su Lin, who had stepped out of the Mercedes-Benz and inexplicably changed into a flamboyant suit and shiny leather boots, and was combing her white hair in a slicked-back style.
He really wanted to ask where this elite Heavenly Emperor came from, and why he had changed his mode of transportation, looking even more business-minded than himself.
But in the end, he held back, even when the other person 'inadvertently' tossed the Mercedes keys onto the table, with a cigar still between their fingers, casually putting it into their mouth.
Wait, that's not a cigar, it's a cigar-shaped chocolate!
"Can you tone down your nouveau riche attitude?" Ye Fan couldn't stand it anymore.
Based on his extensive experience, he had seen flamboyant people, but never anything this flamboyant.
But the two generals, one on the left and one on the right, didn't think so.
"If you were born less than a year ago and already driving a Mercedes-Benz outright, you'd probably be even more arrogant than him."
After donning white gloves, Klein changed into a tuxedo and vest, and then pulled out a crystal decanter shaped like a swan.
With an indifferent attitude, Lu Mingfei stepped forward, threw a few ice cubes into the decanter, and poured in the amber liquid.
Wow.
The decanter was shaken, and the mist created by dry ice dispersed.
Are you all idiots?
Under Ye Fan's similar gaze, Lu Mingfei kicked aside the poorly hidden one-liter plastic bottle of iced tea and casually handed over two stemmed glasses that were only three-quarters full.
“Minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol,” Lu Mingfei said.
Justified and convincing.
So Ye Fan froze Huai Shi's account, requiring her to provide adult real-name authentication before she could continue purchasing cigarettes and alcohol from the Chamber of Commerce.
"Do you want Shi Hao to bring you some Great Wilderness Beast Milk to help you build muscle and strengthen bones?" Ye Fan asked. "Anyway, the milk powder industry is almost ready to go online."
"I wouldn't mind if there were milk powder with the flavor of Creation Gold," Su Lin said, shrugging nonchalantly after finishing his cigar.
He picked up the car keys from the table and tossed them behind him. The servants who were serving him on either side immediately dropped what they were holding and rushed toward the car keys.
"It's my turn to play!"
"Me first."
A commotion ensued, but finally a hidden causal thread emerged, hooking onto a key and starting the celestial steed parked within the City of All Heavens.
With a deafening roar, only the high-pitched dragon's cry remained. Waves swept across the long river of time in this universe, and countless fragments of the galaxy remnants remaining in spacetime were shattered.
Ye Fan watched this scene with longing eyes, and suddenly felt an itch to join in and play a round himself.
"By the way," Su Lin asked, looking at the little girl playing with the mask, "has Nannan grown a bit taller?"
Ye Fan snapped out of his daze and asked in confusion, "Really?"
As the manifestation of the Ruthless Great Emperor's mortal cultivation fruit, Xiao Nannan will never grow up and will forever remain a two- or three-year-old girl.
Even if more than 100,000 years pass, the little girl will still be a porcelain doll.
Hearing Su Lin say this, Ye Fan carefully picked up the little girl and examined her closely, seemingly...
Did you really grow a centimeter or two taller?
"How could this be?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.
“That’s normal. That brat Yu Feng has grown two heads taller over the years. It just shows that the nutrition meals provided by the Heavenly God Sect are too lavish.” Su Lin rested his chin on his hand and swirled his wine glass in his other hand.
Indeed, Yu Feng, the spirit of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, had not yet been freed from his restrictions. When he was cut out from the divine source, he was about the same size as Xiao Nannan.
Given Iwamori's methods, this is to be expected.
"Actually, I'm a pretty principled person."
"?"
"Let's just consider that ghost mask returned to its rightful owner. Let's not talk about money. We're all brothers here. Wuwu's situation is there, and I understand your feelings from the bottom of my heart."
As Su Lin spoke, he yawned, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. Anyone who didn't know better would think that he was reminiscing about someone from the past.
"Good brother, I've always been good at judging people."
Ye Fan raised his wine glass and clinked it against his own, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. He felt that this iced tea was even better than the Drunken Immortal Brew.
"But you probably don't intend to keep setting traps for me, right?"
Ye Fan put down his wine glass, his smile undiminished: "Zhutian City is planning to add a position for city management officers. I see that a certain witch is very experienced and happens to be short of money. Hiring her to do part-time work would be a great help."
We're all close friends, seeing each other all the time, so it's always good to help each other out.
What do you think?
“I have no objection.” Su Lin tilted his head in confusion: “It’s always good that the re-employment of laid-off clergy can promote the economic cycle of Zhutian City.”
"Really?" Ye Fan prepared to write "agree" in the section for assigning him to Shuijing Peak.
"On another note, all your fleeting romances were just coincidences. I can't exactly go and find Fan Xian and Yi Qingwu for you and treat you to a meal of Yan Di's grilled fish, can I?"
Su Lin shrugged and said, "The greatest works are often those that follow the natural course of events."
"I think so too," Ye Fan agreed.
"I'll take my leave now." Su Lin stood up. "I need to keep an eye on them to avoid getting a bunch of tickets."
It seems the city management officers really can control this guy.
Ye Fan watched Su Lin's departing figure, a smile playing on his lips, as if he had found an instruction manual for an ultimate imperial weapon.
Despite some people's efforts to cover it up, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that ever since the Gensokyo incident, this guy has been like a mouse encountering a cat whenever he meets the city management officers, completely suppressed and powerless to fight back.
During the period when Su Lin first appeared, Ye Fan became certain that the other party could even predict Su Lin's actions.
The best anti-Su Lin system, which combines attack and defense, must be installed in Zhutian City, even if it costs a bit more.
"Brother, what are you laughing at?" the little girl asked.
"My little girl has grown taller, I'm so happy!" Ye Fan chuckled.
He put the little girl down and drew a mark on the pillar to compare her height.
"You've really grown taller!" The little girl was very excited, jumping and skipping while hugging Ye Fan's arm: "Brother, I'll grow up soon!"
"It's still early." Ye Fan smiled and shook his head.
He didn't take the little girl's words to heart.
In fact, it will be very difficult for Nannan to grow up, and she will probably not change much in the future.
In another ten years or so, Xiao Xiao will probably be a grown woman, while Nannan will still look the same and retain her innocent childlike heart.
If the Ruthless Great Emperor enters a transformation, Little Nannan will also become sleepy, sometimes sleeping for one or two thousand years.
"Soon, it won't be long!"
Little Nannan held Ye Fan's hand, and seeing his disbelief, she spoke urgently, wanting to prove it: "And Nannan's memory has improved now; she remembers her older brothers and sisters every morning when she wakes up!"
"Your memory has improved?"
"Yes, Nannan can remember what happened yesterday without the little stones her brother gave her."
The little girl said sweetly, "Before, Nannan had a bad memory. Every few days, she had to use small stones to fill her memory so she could remember things from before. She also couldn't keep up with her studies and cultivation."
Every night before I go to sleep, I worry that I will forget you, my brother.
Speaking of this, the little guy's face welled up with tears again, his eyes brimming with tears, looking timid.
"I used to be scared too. I was afraid that one day I would drop the little stone and lose my memory, and then I would accidentally wander off. I was also afraid that one day you, my brother, would leave me too."
She always forgets the past, periodically becomes confused, and needs to be re-introduced with memories.
Now that her memory has improved and she no longer needs the precious jade Ye Fan gave her as a carrier of her memories, it is naturally something to be happy about.
"No, didn't Nannan forget her brother before? But I still found you."
Ye Fan affectionately patted the little girl's head and said patiently, "I will never break my promise to you."
The little girl nodded, trusting Ye Fan's words completely.
Taking advantage of the free time of the Chamber of Commerce preparing to reopen, Ye Fan took her to travel around Earth and space, looking for some novel things and ruins that hadn't been disturbed by the group members.
The little guy followed Ye Fan around like a little shadow, never leaving his side and showing great dependence on him.
Finally, the day arrived when the City of the Gods was supposed to be bustling again.
How should I put it?
The place is deserted.
This is completely different from the situation before the outbreak of the Bright Rebellion.
Only a few friends and seniors, such as Xia Yiming and Li Ruoyu, mustered up the courage to come and show their support. The ancient races only had one Holy Prince and a middle-aged man who seemed to be their representative.
None of the other holy sites or aristocratic families could be seen.
"Guest, didn't we tell them about the grand opening sale?" Ye Fan asked.
He held in his hand a business brochure for everything from nurturing a cultivator's spirit at birth to the funeral arrangements provided by the Hall of Rebirth when their lifespan ends.
"They probably have some concerns..."
Zhongli recalled the Supreme Emperor Weapon that was about to self-destruct and the various sect leaders who planned to sacrifice themselves when he visited as a guest of the Chamber of Commerce. He gradually fell silent.
Later, most of the lineages capable of migrating began to flee into the starry sky and hide, leaving only a few branches in the Big Dipper.
Therefore, it's quite reasonable that there's not much business.
In particular, the sight of a group of Supreme Beings turned into puppets standing at the doorway, exuding a chilling and terrifying aura, coupled with their blank stares, made Yao Yuekong and the others who came to offer their congratulations dare not take a step forward, and some even considered turning back.
Ye Fan turned his gaze toward the source of this demonic technique.
Su Lin acted as if he hadn't seen it, and struck up a conversation with the unfamiliar ancient race creature: "How is your name, sir?"
"I dare not." The middle-aged man's face was pale, but he controlled his trembling and answered respectfully, "Junior is Hun Tuo."
"Holy crap?!"
Su Lin's expression froze, and she instantly teleported away from this unlucky person, afraid that even a second later would deduct a lot of luck points.
This scene left everyone around bewildered, and they all looked at the bewildered Great Sage Hun Tuo.
This is a legend who once challenged the Fighting Saint Emperor but was suppressed, but surely that wouldn't frighten such a strange immortal?
Yes, Su Lin and his group gained the title of "Strange Immortals" in the starry sky, and many forces thought that the end of the world was coming, falling into despair.
"None of the remaining Supremes from the restricted area have come either." Ye Fan shook his head: "It's better to go and invite them in person."
After saying that, he called the group of friends who seemed to have nothing better to do and went out for a walk, specifically instructing Shi Hao not to let the clients eat him up.
"Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment. Harmony is the most important thing in all things!"
Before the group left, the Great Sage Hun Tuo tried his best to dissuade them, but they all acted as if they had seen a plague god. Upon hearing this, they quickly used their escape techniques to leave.
Soon, a supreme roar erupted from the restricted area.
But then, the strange, supreme imperial weapon that had briefly appeared in the starry sky several years ago, a star train, roared its whistle and rolled its wheels, and drove straight past.
The Primordial Ancient Mine, the Sea of Reincarnation, and the Heavens. The remaining supreme beings, including the Qilin Ancient Emperor, were either slumbering within the Divine Source without ever launching a Dark Turmoil, or they were too decayed to leave the forbidden zone, unable to escape even if they launched a Dark Turmoil.
After the celestial calamity erupted, several supreme beings returned to the forbidden zone, only to find that under this starry sky, there was nowhere to escape.
Therefore, after a difficult resistance, they were all packed up, tied up, and dragged onto the train.
"here."
"Sixty thousand imperial coins."
"Old"
"Sixty thousand."
"My lord."
"Sixty thousand for everyone!"
Before they could finish speaking, one after another, the most basic life-extending elixirs appeared in the hands of the bewildered Supremes, and the ticketing and payment process was completed.
"Give me money!"
Because he had been caught red-handed before, Duan De deliberately acted very attentive today, rolling up his sleeves and urging everyone to pay the bill.
"Emperor of the Underworld, what's wrong with you?!"
An old acquaintance from the mythological era stared wide-eyed.
"This old man has Immortal Tear Green Gold, a Black Tortoise Immortal Medicine, two Imperial Weapons, and a VIP room!"
Duan De recognized him and immediately called out to Ru Hua, then dragged the old, blind Supreme inside, saying, "Someone, feed the True Martial Ancient Emperor his medicine! It must be the most expensive one!"
"???"
Whether they liked it or not, even the Qilin Ancient Emperor was inexplicably given a dose of medicine, and his primordial spirit stopped disintegrating. However, the exorbitant price was still painful for them, even with their wealth.
But as a man carrying a sword embryo dragged a blood-soaked Supreme Being past them, licking his lips, a great terror suddenly descended upon them.
Immediately, they all pulled out their savings hidden away in their misery and used them to buy credit cards and pay the bills.
Ancient Forbidden Land
There were two individuals within this forbidden zone whom Ye Fan had to personally invite: one was a Great Accomplished Holy Body who had made immense contributions to all races, and the other was...
"Are Senior Holy Body and Ruthless Emperor there?"
Ye Fan leaped onto the desolate abyss and called out, "Please come to my City of All Heavens for a chat."
His divine thoughts resounded throughout the universe, yet he could only see chaotic mist flowing, and ancient lamentations silently transmitted through the gaps in his mind.
But Ye Fan waited patiently. If the ruthless Great Emperor beneath the Desolate Abyss was undergoing a transformation, then he would come back later.
At this moment, the Great Accomplished Holy Body, covered in golden fur, was born. He flew over from the bottom of the ancient abyss like a golden giant.
"Senior." Ye Fan bowed.
"You're too late. She's vanished from here. She's gone!" The Great Accomplished Holy Body couldn't hide his shock.
"When did this happen?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.
"Seven days ago, a ghost mask flew over, and she disappeared after putting it on."
Seven days ago. A ghost face mask?!
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened. If what he saw in the Immortal Ascension Land was indeed the Ruthless Woman herself, then she...
Inside the City of All Heavens, a bustling and noisy scene unfolded.
Driven by greed, the supreme beings began to exchange their own lineages and inheritances for Yuanhuang coins, entering a phase of 'going with the flow'.
"Sister Nannan, you've grown taller again!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
"Really?" The little girl compared the engravings and clapped her hands happily.
"Drinking more animal milk will help you grow taller," Su Lin reminded him as he sipped his ancient dairy product, then rolled up the car window.
"The greatest works are often those that follow a natural flow."
It's been added. Goodnight.
