324: The Ancestor has issued a summons! What exactly is the Divine Child?

The Nine Heavens Bell Tolls, the Ancestral Hall summons!

This was the highest-level summons of the Xuan Yuan Su Family!

Since the Xuan Yuan Su Family was exiled to this world millions of years ago, the Nine Heavens Bell had rung only a handful of times!

Each time it rang, it signified a monumental upheaval capable of shaking the fate of the entire Family!

And today, it tolled for a youth who was only eighteen years old!

All the Su Family disciples on the training ground, including the newly promoted 'sycophant' Prodigies, were prostrated on the ground, their expressions solemn, their breathing seemingly halted.

Their gazes towards Su Chen, besides awe and fear, held even more complex emotions.

They understood that Su Chen's world-shattering slap just now had already startled the old monsters who had lived for countless millennia, slumbering in the deepest parts of the Family.

His Highness the Divine Son was finally about to formally step onto the historical stage of the Xuan Yuan Su Family!

[Again? Are they not letting me get off work?]

Su Chen felt a wave of irritation when he heard the bell sound that penetrated his Divine Soul.

[Just finished fighting a mini-boss, and now the final boss wants to see me? What kind of broken game flow is this, not even giving me time to save and rest?]

[These old geezers, at their age, instead of lying comfortably in their coffins to enjoy their golden years, they insist on coming out and causing trouble.]

[Could they be looking for trouble with me? Probably not. That slap of mine probably loosened their coffin lids.]

[Could it be... that they're giving out bonuses?]

[Yes, yes, it must be! I educated the unruly brats for the Family, turned the tide, and displayed the might of the Divine Son! They should at least give me ten or eight Immortal Artifacts, and a few hundred billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones as compensation for emotional distress, right?]

As soon as he thought of the piles of Spirit Stones coming in, the irritation in Su Chen's heart instantly vanished, replaced by intense anticipation.

"Su Qi, lead the way."

Su Chen waved his hand at Su Qi, his posture like an emperor going to inspect his own property.

"Yes! His Highness the Divine Son!"

Seventh Elder Su Qi respectfully responded, hurriedly leading the way, his posture even more humble than serving his own father.

Su Chen followed him, and under the bone-deep reverent gazes of the Su Family disciples, transformed into a stream of light, flying directly towards the deepest part of the Lesser Formless Realm.

It wasn't until their figures completely disappeared into the sky.

That the soul-suffocating pressure on the training ground slowly dissipated.

"Hoo..."

Su Yueling let out a long breath, only to feel her inner clothing damp and cold, already soaked with cold sweat.

She glanced at Su Yuntian and the others beside her, who were also pale and still shaken, her face filled with bitterness and lingering fear.

"Did we... just dance in front of the gates of hell?" a Saint asked with a trembling voice.

"More than just dancing," Su Yuntian said with a bitter smile, his eyes no longer filled with resentment, only the relief of surviving a catastrophe, "we were swinging on King Yama's beard, but he found our hands dirty and threw us back."

He now found it absurd and laughable to think that he had previously dared to challenge Su Chen to a one-on-one fight.

One-on-one?

If that person merely exhaled, his Divine Soul would be annihilated, and his body and spirit would dissipate!

"Senior Sister Xiaoxiao, what kind of being is Boss... exactly?" Su Yueling couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoxiao, the only one present who could barely maintain her composure.

Among those present, only Su Xiaoxiao had the highest cultivation and the strongest Bloodline, perhaps allowing her to glimpse a corner of that terrifying existence.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao's delicate body trembled slightly.

The indifferent, sun-and-moon-like eyes of that thousand-zhang Divine Demon once again appeared in her mind, and a bone-chilling coldness swept through her entire body again.

She spoke with a dry voice: "I don't know."

"I only know that the Cultivation Technique he ultimately used has completely transcended the shackles of this world's Heavenly Dao. Before him, my True Phoenix Immortal Body, which I was so proud of, was nothing but a self-amusing joke."

"We are not beings of the same dimension as him."

Not beings of the same dimension!

This sentence was like an ancient divine mountain, heavily crashing down on the hearts of all the Prodigies.

They had always prided themselves as the apex of the pyramid in this world.

Only today did they sadly discover that above the apex was a vast starry sky that they weren't even worthy of looking up to.

And that Boss, whom they had underestimated and provoked, stood above that starry sky, indifferently looking down at them, these frogs in a well.

"What... happened to my brother?" Su Xiaoxiao looked into the distance, where Su Wuchang was being urgently treated by several Elders, a flicker of worry flashing in her phoenix eyes.

"Don't worry, Boss held back," Su Yuntian said. "Wu Chang only suffered damage to his Immortal Body's Origin; he'll recover after some rest. If Boss really wanted to kill him, there wouldn't even be a speck of dust left now."

Everyone fell silent again.

Yes, Boss held back.

At this thought, an absurd emotion quietly arose in their hearts.

It was... gratitude?

"What... do we do now?" a Saintess asked blankly.

Everyone's gaze collectively turned to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, then an unprecedented resolute light ignited in her clear phoenix eyes.

"What else can we do?"

She spoke slowly, but her voice was decisive and resounding.

"From today onwards, we will resolutely support Boss!"

"Whatever Boss tells us to do, we will do!"

"To be able to follow such an unfathomable existence is not humiliation, but the greatest Opportunity of our lives!"

A blazing fire named 'ambition' ignited in her eyes!

Following such a Boss, the scenery they would witness in the future would far exceed this abandoned Small World!

Perhaps even... returning to the legendary Nine Heavens might not be a pipe dream!

The others were stunned at first, then their eyes also burst forth with fervent light.

That's right!

To serve an supreme Prodigy destined to rule all heavens and regard Immortal Bodies as dust in the future, how glorious would that be to speak of!

In an instant, the mentality of these Prodigies, who had just had their Dao Hearts shattered, underwent an earth-shattering change.

They no longer felt humiliated; instead, a strange exhilaration of 'one person attaining Dao, even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven' arose within them.

They looked in the direction Su Chen had departed, their gazes becoming incredibly fervent!

...Meanwhile.

Led by Seventh Elder Su Qi, Su Chen had already arrived before an Immortal Palace suspended deep within the Void Realm.

This Immortal Palace was more magnificent and ancient than any building Su Chen had ever seen.

It was entirely cast from a special Glazed Metal, untouched by the dust of ages, and enveloped in an eternal dao rhyme.

Above the palace hung an ancient plaque, bearing three characters, naturally formed by the Great Dao, written in the oldest Immortal Dao Runes.

—Nine Heavens Palace!

"His Highness the Divine Son, the Eighteenth Ancestor is waiting for you inside," Seventh Elder Su Qi stopped, his expression extremely respectful, not even daring to look directly at the plaque.

Su Chen nodded, hands behind his back, and swaggered in as if strolling through his own backyard.
