457: Mother World

After the thunderous Heavenly Tribulation was "skillfully" resolved.

The sky-filling tribulation clouds receded unwillingly and awkwardly.

The clear night sky returned to its previous state, filled with countless stars.

Lin Xuan, clad in white, floated in mid-air.

A gentle breeze blew, making his hair and beard dance, and his robes flutter.

The crowd below couldn't help but sigh, the current Sword Emperor truly possessed the demeanor of a banished Immortal.

This wasn't to say that Lin Xuan didn't resemble an Immortal before.

He used to merely "resemble" one, but now he "is" one.

The aura emanating from him was simply not something a human could possess.

Even Zheng Yunfei and Zhang Lingxiao, these two peak Emperor Rank Professionals, looked at Lin Xuan as if they were observing a different species.

"It seems the gap between the Transcendent Tier and the Emperor Tier isn't just in attributes."

Zheng Yunfei looked up at his former rival, sighing in his heart.

That "former" needed to be emphasized.

At this moment, he had a very strong feeling.

He wouldn't last a single move against Lin Xuan.

Zhang Lingxiao, beside him, nodded and said, "Indeed, the difference between Acquired and Innate is like the difference between monkeys and humans."

Hearing this, Zheng Yunfei suddenly thought of Luo Fu Child, who had occupied his Physical Body.

During the defense of Shangjing City, he had witnessed the entire battle between this Transcendent Tier Professional and Qin Yang.

At that time, seeing Qin Yang instantly kill Luo Fu with one move made him feel that the Transcendent Tier was nothing special.

But now, it wasn't that the Transcendent Tier was weak, but that the Divine Emperor's strength was too great.

Moreover, Luo Fu Child was not in his complete form at that time.

He had only borrowed his body; his Physical Body was still merely Emperor Rank.

If it had been the complete Luo Fu Child, the defense of Shangjing City would likely have been even more difficult.

Just as everyone was shocked by the power of Transcendent Tier Professionals, a prompt appeared before Lin Xuan's eyes.

【You have advanced to the Transcendent Tier.】

【Due to Law restrictions, you will be unable to remain in the Mother World for an extended period.】

"Mother World?"

Lin Xuan was slightly stunned.

This was the first time he had heard this term.

Clearly, this wasn't referring to "male and female," but rather the world of his birth.

After Professionals reached the Transcendent Tier, they would be unable to stay in the "Mother World" for long, which was practically forcing people to leave.

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly; he didn't understand why such a rule existed. Was it to prevent a single world's combat power from becoming too strong?

At this moment, cheers like a mountain's roar came from below.

"Congratulations, Sword Emperor, for transcending to the Innate!"

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the imperial relatives and important court officials shouted in unison.

Following the Nine War Gods, the only other Transcendent Tier Professional had been born.

Globally, this was considered major news.

However, Lin Xuan wasn't as happy as he had imagined.

The "Mother World" in the prompt made him think of many things.

He even had a glimpse into the Myriad Realms.

The "truth" he glimpsed made him somewhat uneasy.

And the only one who could alleviate this unease was his Divine Emperor grandson.

Lin Xuan quickly descended from the sky and came before Qin Yang, whispering, "grandson, after my Breakthrough to the Transcendent Tier, a prompt appeared before my eyes."

Qin Yang nodded slightly and said calmly, "It's telling you that you can't stay in the Mother World, isn't it?"

Lin Xuan was stunned, then nodded and asked, "Why is there such a rule?"

Qin Yang smiled, not answering directly, but simply motioned for Lin Xuan to sit down, saying, "What I'm about to say is related to this."

Lin Xuan nodded and returned to his seat.

"Dad, after your Transcendent Tier Breakthrough, you have far fewer white hairs!"

"Yes, Father-in-Law, you look even younger than me!"

As soon as Lin Xuan sat down, Lin Xiaoer excitedly came before her father, and Qin Chuan even leaned in to flatter him.

This 'roll king' had completely figured things out and let go.

His previous plan was to find the Demi-human World, establish strongholds, and build an otherworldly empire for Qin Yang.

But now, with such a powerful father-in-Law, wife, and son, he no longer needed to strive.

To put it bluntly.

If they couldn't handle something, he couldn't either.

If they could handle something, there was no point in him handling it.

It was better to be a Retired Emperor, carefree and at ease.

As Qin Chuan was thinking, he suddenly heard Qin Yang say, "Retired Emperor, do you still want to go to the Demi-human World and achieve great deeds?"

Qin Chuan was startled, looked at Qin Yang, and asked, "You want to go to the Demi-human World?"

Qin Yang shook his head and said, "I want to go to the Myriad Realms."

With that, he took two steps towards the plaza in front of the Hall and said loudly:

"The Sword Emperor's Transcendent Tier Breakthrough is only the second matter today."

"Next, I will announce the third matter, which is the most important thing for the Shenzhou Empire in the next five years."

Upon hearing this, those who were still immersed in shock immediately recovered.

At this moment, they all had a premonition.

What the Divine Emperor was about to say next would once again Break through their understanding, and it was likely related to the Transcendent Tier, or even to the Nine War Gods.

After all, this was the Divine Emperor's style.

He proceeded step by step, with every action paving the way for subsequent events.

The entire hall was silent, with all eyes fixed on him.

After a moment of silence, Qin Yang slowly said:

"When the Sword Emperor made his Transcendent Tier Breakthrough, a prompt appeared before his eyes."

"The prompt said that he could no longer stay in the Mother World for an extended period."

"Does anyone know the meaning of the words 'Mother World'?"

The crowd in front of the Hall looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.

Clearly, even the three Emperor Rank Professionals had heard this term for the first time.

However, hearing it for the first time didn't mean they couldn't understand it.

If there was a Mother World, there would be non-Mother Worlds.

Transcendent Tier Professionals could not stay in the Mother World.

From this term alone, one could infer the vastness of the Myriad Realms.

Different people, different races, would all be born in different "Mother Worlds."

This was like Professionals graduating from different alma maters.

"So, that means..."

Zheng Yun, who had once been to the Annihilation Sea, was the first to react.

He said to Qin Yang, "Humans advancing to the Transcendent Tier is like a fledgling leaving the nest, the beginning of a journey?"

"Exactly."

Qin Yang nodded and continued to say:

"After humans reach the Transcendent Tier, they will leave their Mother World. This is not only the Law of the Mother World but also the Law of the Myriad Realms."

"Therefore, Transcendent Tier Professionals from other worlds will also not confine themselves to their own Mother World."

"They will explore the Heavens, expand their territories, and..."

At this point, Qin Yang paused, lowering his voice, and said word by word, "They will meet us."
