29: The divine son is of extraordinary talent, and should be considered the greatest of all time!

Inside the entire stone chamber...

Only Seventh Elder Su Qi still stood there dazed, his mind unable to quite process what was happening.

He looked at his Family's Third Ancestor and the group of Old Ancestors, their faces filled with a fanatical expression as if they had seen a deity descend to the mortal Realm; he felt as if he were in a different world from them.

Per... persuaded them to go back?

Was it really that simple?

Why can't I bring myself to believe it?

But seeing Su Chen's matter-of-fact expression, and then looking at the unwavering belief of the Old Ancestors around him, Su Qi began to question his life.

Could it be... that I am truly too shallow?

Have I really wasted these thousands of years of my life?

Chener... has he really reached a Realm so strong that we cannot even imagine it?

Just as Su Qi's worldview was about to collapse and be rebuilt...

"Ahem."

The Third Ancestor cleared his throat, took a step forward, and extremely solemnly gave Su Chen a deep bow reserved for peers!

"This old man, Su Wangu, greets... Fellow Daoist."

Boom!

The words "Fellow Daoist" were like ten thousand bolts of heavenly lightning, striking hard upon Su Qi's crown and shattering the last bit of wishful thinking in his mind.

Who was the Third Ancestor?

He was an old monster of the Su Family who had lived for an unknown number of tens of thousands of years!

His seniority was unfathomably high! Even the current head of the Su Family would have to kneel and kowtow respectfully upon seeing him, calling him "Third Great-Grandfather"!

But now, he actually... called Chener "Fellow Daoist"?!

This was no longer a simple acknowledgment of strength!

This was placing Su Chen on the same level as himself, or perhaps even higher!

Su Chen was also caught off guard by the Third Ancestor's sudden address of "Fellow Daoist."

[Holy crap! Who is this old man? This is taking "scamming" to a whole new level! Fellow Daoist? Am I even familiar with you? Don't come over here; what if you see through my guilty conscience?]

While his mind was racing with frantic thoughts, his face maintained the demeanor of an expert. He merely gave a faint nod and let out a soft "Mm" from his nose as a response.

Seeing Su Chen's "cold and aloof" appearance, the Third Ancestor became even more certain of his guess, and the look of awe on his face intensified.

As expected, an expert's actions are so unconstrained and true to nature!

He turned around and, in an incomparably serious and solemn tone, addressed all the high-level members of the Su Family present, announcing in a deep voice.

"Today's matter is the Su Family's highest secret! No one is allowed to leak a single word! Those who violate this will be considered traitors to the Family, and I will personally clean house!"

"Furthermore!"

He took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the terrified Su Qi, and his voice suddenly rose, filled with endless emotion and ecstasy!

"From this day forth, our Su Family Divine Son, Su Chen, shall be the number one Prodigy of the Su Family throughout all ages!"

"His wisdom can calculate all of eternity! His ability can overturn heaven and earth! His Heart-Nature far surpasses that of previous ancestors!"

"With the Divine Son here, why should our Su Family worry about not being able to continue our brilliance and reign over the Nine Heavens in this Golden Era!"

The Third Ancestor's words were like a great bell, exploding within the Divine Soul of every Su Family member.

All the Old Ancestors and Elders wore expressions of fanatical pride, and they all bowed deeply to Su Chen in unison!

"His Highness the Divine Son is unparalleled throughout the ages!"

It's over.

Su Qi's vision went dark, and he almost fainted on the spot.

He finally understood how ridiculously wrong he had been!

What on earth had he been doing for the past eighteen years!

He had actually been chasing after an unfathomable, supreme powerhouse every day, urging him to Cultivate, forcing him to marry, and calling him a useless wretch!

I'm a... I was literally asking for trouble from someone I shouldn't have provoked, showing off my meager skills in front of the King of Hell!

Su Qi felt a chill rush from his tailbone straight to the crown of his head. His legs went weak, and no longer able to control his inner excitement and remorse, he dashed forward!

"Thud!"

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the dignified Seventh Elder of the Su Family actually fell to his knees directly in front of Su Chen!

He grabbed Su Chen's leg, his old face already covered in tears and snot.

"Chener! My dear Chener!" Su Qi's voice trembled, filled with endless admiration and flattery. "This old man... this old man was wrong!"

"This old man was blind! In these eighteen years, I actually failed to see through your noble intentions! This old man's heart was clouded; I was like a stone in a latrine—foul and stubborn! This old man deserves to die! I deserve to die!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gave himself two vicious slaps, the sound echoing loudly.

"You are the true Qilin of our Su Family! You are the foundational pillar who appears once in an eternity! Don't worry, from now on, if anyone dares to disturb your sleep, this old man will be the first to risk his life against them! What is the Yaochi Saintess? She's not worthy of you! This old man will go and call off the engagement right now!"

"Such a great achievement should immediately be commemorated with a monument cast in Divine Gold and placed in the Ancestral Hall! Let the tens of thousands of future generations of the Su Family admire your elegance day and night!"

Su Chen: "..."
