Jiang Ziyu recounts his improbable resurrection across multiple eras, triggered by a mysterious accident involving a bronze coffin, a Blood Image, and an infant. Ye Xuan learns that the Blood Image used Jiang Ziyu's corpse to recover and reform his soul, a process significantly slowed by the weakened Origin Power granted by the King of Dou Tian. Ye Xuan reveals that five great eras have passed and declares this sixth era to be his. He then casually informs a stunned Jiang Ziyu that the powerful woman commanding the Jiang family is his wife, and that Jiang Ziyu is, in fact, his descendant, much to Ye Xuan's displeasure.

Jiang Ziyu’s mischievous smile froze on his face.

"Finished..."

Jiang Ziyu uttered only one word before being submerged in boundless chaos.

But it wasn’t long.

The chaos returned to normal, and Jiang Ziyu leisurely flew out, mumbling softly, "Why is Emperor Ye’s temper so irritable now? I can’t be too arrogant, or if he kills me, I’ll be in real trouble."

"But it’s truly surprising, who would have thought even Emperor Ye has a wife and daughter now..."

"As a senior, perhaps I should gift my descendants something."

"What should I give?"

Jiang Ziyu strolled in the cosmic starry sky, reaching into his bosom.

The first thing he took out was a palm-sized conical shield.

This shield glimmered with golden light.

It appeared extraordinary.

"This Golden Light Shield, though a Great Saint Dao Weapon, seems a bit unimpressive to gift..."

"Forget it."

Jiang Ziyu put it back and fished out another treasure.

This time, the treasure was a snow-white ball of embroidery.

When the snow-white ball appeared, the surrounding cosmos began to snow heavily.

"Snow Embroidery Ball, a top-tier Great Saint Dao Weapon, it’ll do."

Jiang Ziyu appraised it and decided to keep it.

Afterward, Jiang Ziyu continued to pull out several treasures, most were top-tier Great Saint Dao Weapons, including three Quasi-Emperor Dao Weapons.

These were the gifts Jiang Ziyu prepared for Ye Sixing.

Though Emperor Ye did not want him involved,

Regardless, he had to protect the Jiang Family.

Moreover, he already calculated the cause and effect; indeed, it was the Jiang Family’s fault. These gifts could be an apology to Emperor Ye.

With this thought, Jiang Ziyu quickly descended upon the Jiang Family’s largest Sacred Land.

This Sacred Land floated directly in the void.

Like a continent.

It was filled with spiritual energy like dragons and myriad auspicious colors.

Occasionally, various rare mutant beasts could be seen roaming.

Above, there were numerous immortal platform towers, beautiful palaces and jade pavilions.

A sign of peace and harmony.

Yet at the central Medicine Heaven Hall of the Jiang Family, there was tension.

Zhou Youwei came with Ye Sixing to settle accounts.

Even though the Jiang Family was already pleading humbly, and Jiang Zhao was mediating from the side, Zhou Youwei’s attitude remained strong.

This left the upper echelon of the Jiang Family feeling troubled.

If it were anyone else, if they couldn’t negotiate, they’d resort to using their fists.

But Zhou Youwei’s fists were bigger than all of theirs, and they had to discuss rationally.

"Miss Zhou, why don’t you suggest a solution?"

The Family Head of Jiang Family put aside pride and asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Youwei replied calmly, "This is your family’s responsibility, you ought to decide, not me."

Upon hearing these words, everyone felt helpless.

This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, what should they do?

"Ahem!"

At this moment.

A figure appeared out of nowhere.

Jiang Ziyu, with white hair and youthful face.

However.

Upon seeing Jiang Ziyu, everyone was stunned.

Who is this guy?

The Jiang Family members were puzzled.

"Miss Zhou, who is this?"

The Family Head of Jiang Family bowed slightly, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziyu’s old face darkened.

Zhou Youwei glanced at Jiang Ziyu and said, "Isn’t that your family’s ancient ancestor?"

"Ah?"

Everyone was stunned.

Then they carefully examined Jiang Ziyu, only to realize he was wearing tattered linen, just like what the previous Taigong wore.

"Taigong!?"

Jiang Zhao was equally shocked: "Weren’t you with Xiao Xuan?"

The others also realized and were extremely surprised.

"Greetings, Taigong!"

Everyone hurriedly paid respects.

Jiang Ziyu coldly snorted and waved his big hand: "A bunch of incompetent descendants, can’t handle even a tiny matter, truly disgraceful!"

"Taigong teaches well."

Everyone was sweating on their foreheads, feeling immensely anxious.

But simultaneously relieved, as Taigong’s intention was clearly to help them resolve today’s matter.

Thank goodness.

Jiang Ziyu ignored the Jiang Family, drifting near Zhou Youwei, bowed slightly, and cheerfully said, "This old man pays respects to the wife of Emperor Ye."

Then he bowed to Ye Sixing: "Greetings, little princess."

"Little princess, I’m familiar with your father, you should call me Taigong."

Jiang Ziyu revealed a mischievous smile.

Kuang Nu, who was behind Ye Sixing and Zhou Youwei, couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Ziyu.

"Hey, little Kuang Nu."

Jiang Ziyu seemed to just notice Kuang Nu, waved and greeted.

Kuang Nu’s old face remained calm, but his fierce and aggressive eye swept over Jiang Ziyu, hoarsely saying: "I don’t want to hit you."

Jiang Ziyu laughed: "Little Kuang Nu, after a few days... a few great eras apart, have become so audacious?"

Kuang Nu grinned.

Jiang Ziyu quickly shrank his head, denying: "Just joking, why can’t you take a joke, be generous, as the saying goes, a minister’s belly can hold ships, you Kuang Nu are at least a God Sealer, you should be able to hold several great worlds..."

As he spoke, Jiang Ziyu used his peripheral vision to observe Kuang Nu, seeing the smile at the corner of Kuang Nu’s mouth growing stronger, he flicked his robe and assumed an air of an expert:

"Of course, if you truly wish to fight, then I, Jiang Ziyu, would like to measure the prowess of you, the God Sealer."

Kuang Nu sneered openly, showing contempt.

Jiang Ziyu chuckled.

"Taigong, are you afraid of Grandpa Kuang Nu?"

At this moment, Ye Sixing’s little face was filled with seriousness.

"Afraid!?"

As if stepped on a sore spot, Jiang Ziyu widened his eyes and said aggressively, "Back in the day, I wielded the God-beating Hammer, stamped on True Dragon, suppressed All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds’ Great Emperor, no one didn’t respect me, Jiang Ziyu, acknowledged me as Taigong, what is a little Kuang Nu?"

"Ridiculous."

Jiang Ziyu seemed even more confident in his speech, emitting a cold laugh.

But when Kuang Nu raised his hand, Jiang Ziyu instinctively shrank his head.

Kuang Nu yawned, leisurely saying: "I yawn, why are you so scared?"

Jiang Ziyu’s series of actions were all seen and heard by the Jiang Family members.

For a moment, they felt petrified.

Is this truly their ancient ancestor, Taigong?

Why does he seem like a charlatan?

What he just said, sounds more like boasting.

If he were truly that powerful, the title of Heaven Suppressing Ancient Emperor wouldn’t belong to Ling Jin.

"Afraid?!"

Originally somewhat inexplicable, Jiang Ziyu, upon hearing the word, seemed to ignite a flame of passion, decisively and spiritedly said:

"Back in the day, I wielded the God-beating Hammer, stamped on True Dragon, suppressed All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds’ Great Emperor, no one didn’t respect me, Jiang Ziyu, acknowledged me as Taigong, what is a little Kuang Nu?"

Everyone: "..."

Kuang Nu reached out.

Jiang Ziyu shrank his head.

Kuang Nu gave a thumbs-up: "You’re impressive."

Jiang Ziyu burst into laughter: "Convinced?"
