Taking Precautions

After listening to the words of the World supreme powerhouse, Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang exchanged a look and saw the solemnity in each other’s eyes. They did not expect that there were also humans in the mysterious entrances apart from the powerful creatures. Based on their original speculations, the creatures were like guardians. With the appearance of humans, that place behind the entrances became even more mysterious.

“Can you repeat his exact words to us?” Feng Qing Yang asked the World supreme powerhouse.

After listening to the last words of Agu Li’s doppelganger, Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang also inquired about the other two who had also gone to the mysterious entrance with Agu Li.

Before they left, they also consoled the World supreme powerhouse.

“Please accept our condolences.”

After that, the duo went to the forces that the two individuals belonged to, which were also among the top forces in the Primordial World. They were both friends of Agu Li, and one of them was on par with Agu Li before he became a level-seven supreme powerhouse. When Agu Li proposed that they explore the mysterious entrance, the duo readily agreed and accompanied him since they were curious as well. Alas, they did not expect their hasty decision would cost them their lives. All the years of cultivation and hard work went to waste just like that.

…

“It seems like that place behind the entrances is just like ours with both creatures and humans…”

After visiting the other two forces, Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang returned to the God Defying World with heavy hearts.

“I have a feeling that… a storm is coming our way…” Feng Qing Yang said as his eyes flashed.

Duan Ling Tian nodded with a slight frown on his face. He felt the same way.

Duan Ling Tian enjoyed his current peaceful life. He did not have to worry too much since he was now strong enough to deal with any threats and protect those he cared about. However, the nine entrances in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary and the recent event in the Primordial World made him feel that the peace was about to be broken.

“I’m going to ask my family and friends to return and cultivate in my Little World,” Duan Ling Tian said in a low voice, “It’s the safest place for them, and I’ll have peace of mind as well…”

Apart from his parents, his wives, and his friends who were in the God Defying World, Duan Ling Tian also summoned his children, Xue Nai, and the three little ones back from the Outer Boundary regardless if they were willing or not.

“Father?”

“Brother Ling Tian?”

When Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger showed up in the Outer Boundary, Duan Nian Tian, Duan Si Ling, and the others were stunned. They were unaware that Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger had been following them in the Outer Boundary. They could tell that it was his doppelganger.

“Come back with me.”

Before the others could even react, Duan Ling Tian waved his hand. A powerful force swept toward the others, and they vanished into thin air, leaving the Outer Boundary. Faced with Duan Ling Tian’s overwhelming power, they could only comply. He did not even allow them to speak until they returned.

During the process, Duan Nian Tian tried to struggle while Duan Si Ling, Han Xue Nai, and the others were relatively quiet.

Smack!

Seeing how unruly his son was, Duan Ling Tian slapped his son, causing his son to stop struggling immediately.

Upon his return to the God Defying World, Duan Ling Tian gathered everyone before he explained the current situation to them and told them about his and Feng Qing Yang’s speculation from a thousand years ago.

“Before the historical gap, heaven annihilated everything to use the energy to fortify the defenses against foreign invaders?”

“So heaven intentionally set a limit to our cultivation to better guard against the enemies?”

“So the recent changes are because heaven can no longer help us and wants us to face the threat on our own?”

Duan Ling Tian’s family, friends, and even his seniors from the Myriad Laws Academy were shocked when they heard his words. Although he did mention that everything was just speculation for now, they thought that everything made sense and regarded his words as the truth.

Everyone felt pressured after listening to Duan Ling Tian. Even Duan Nian Tian had quieted down. However, his determination to grow stronger did not diminish; he became even more determined to grow stronger.

‘Even if I have to stay in Father’s Little World, I have to grow stronger as soon as possible so I can help! I’m Duan Ling Tian’s son; I must uphold his legacy!’ Duan Nian Tian thought to himself.

Over the years, Duan Nian Tian might have taken a few unconventional routes, but they were all driven by his desire to walk in his father’s footsteps. Duan Ling Tian’s journey from obscurity to the height of fame, earning the respect of all the supreme powerhouses in the God Defying World filled him with pride. He did not aim to outshine his father; he only wanted to uphold his family’s honor.

“Although it’s just a speculation, I hope all of you will stay in my Little World until we can confirm the truth,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Father, the Divine Offering Land is also part of your Little World. Can I stay in the Divine Offering Land instead?” Duan Nian Tian asked tentatively.

“In the past, I’d say yes, but not now,” Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head, “Although I can travel to anywhere in the Divine Offering Land quickly, it’ll still take some time. Until we can determine the threat, you should all stay in my Little World.”

Duan Ling Tian was very firm when it came to his family and friends’ safety.

At this moment, Huangfu Meng Yuan said, “Little Junior Brother, let Second Junior Brother, Third Junior Brother, and Fourth Junior Sister stay in your Little World. As for me, I won’t do so.”

After a thousand years, Huangfu Meng Yuan had already become a World supreme powerhouse. As for Duan Ling Tian’s senior brothers and senior sister, they had already entered the realm of supreme powerhouses.

“Eldest Senior Sister, since you’re already a World supreme powerhouse, there’s no need for you to stay in my Little World if you don’t want to,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.

Considering Huangfu Meng Yuan’s talent in both cultivation and comprehension, Duan Ling Tian knew she was more than capable of becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse before the disaster struck.
