14: The treasure chest beyond the realm holds divine artifacts; on the return journey, the intent to kill intensifies as he protects his wife.

Morning light pierced through the clouds. When Lin Chen opened his eyes, Clear Snow was lightly tracing his palm with her fingertips.

"Awake?" He turned over and pulled her into his embrace, his voice hoarse from waking up.

Clear Snow nodded and snuggled into his arms: "The baby moved again just now."

[Resting time limit: Not activated]

The attribute panel updated quietly with the Rank, the numbers climbing to new heights:

Lin Chen's Divine Thought spread out, locking onto a canyon in the northwest where there was a rich aura of Transcendence Level.

"The last treasure land, want to go take a look?" He pinched Clear Snow's cheek.

Clear Snow nodded and gently stroked her lower abdomen: "Once we've seen it, we can go home."

The two took to the air, wind elements supporting their forms as they swept over the wasteland filled with bones.

Deep in the canyon, atop a completely black throne, a Transcendence Level bone dragon was coiled, its eye sockets burning with ghostly blue fire.

[Monster Name: Deathly Silent Bone Dragon]

[Rank: 20 (Transcendence Level)]

[Quality: Lord]

[Attributes: Strength 20,000, Agility 15,000, Physique 30,000, Spirit 10,000]

"Husband, it's so scary." Clear Snow subconsciously gripped his sleeve.

Lin Chen shielded her behind him, his Law Affinity drawing on the power of life: "Watch closely."

The bone dragon sensed the threat and swiped with its giant claws, carrying an aura of deathly silence. Lin Chen condensed emerald light points at his fingertips and tapped the Void Realm.

Hum—

The power of life surged like a tide, and the bone dragon's bones were instantly entangled by vines, disintegrating and turning into fly ash.

Clear Snow clapped her hands: "Husband is the best!"

Hidden under the throne was a dark gold treasure chest, its surface engraved with Transcendence Level runes, radiating an aura that suppressed everything.

[Transcendence Level treasure chest]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Note: Contains Transcendence Level legendary items]

Lin Chen took down the treasure chest, not hesitating to use Sublimation twice.

[Ding— Transcendence Level treasure chest → origin treasure chest → chaos rank treasure chest]

The treasure chest bloomed with a chaos rank halo, the phantom of the Universe's birth and destruction appearing on the box, as if it contained the origin of all things.

[chaos rank treasure chest]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Note: Contains chaos rank legendary items]

Opening the treasure chest, a bead the size of a walnut lay quietly inside, with the sun, moon, and stars revolving within it.

[Obtained: chaos rank · yanjie pearl]

Lin Chen picked up the bead. After two Sublimations, the bead suddenly expanded, then shrank to the size of an inch, its light contained.

[Ding— chaos rank yanjie pearl → grandmist rank yanjie pearl → void-rank yanjie pearl]

[void-rank · yanjie pearl]

[Effect: Can open up a real world, the world's rules evolve according to the host's will, containing endless vitality]

"This is for you to play with." Lin Chen stuffed the bead into Clear Snow's hand, "Build whatever you want."

Clear Snow held the bead, her eyes shining: "I want to build a snowy field and raise lots of little foxes."

Just as the two were about to leave, dense footsteps came from outside the canyon. Lin Chen's Divine Thought swept over, and his expression darkened slightly.

It was the previous Angels, Dragon Clan, and Cultivators, plus some unfamiliar alien races—there were over a hundred of them, all with powerful auras.

"They really came." Clear Snow gripped the yanjie pearl, a flash of vigilance in her eyes.

The leading Six-Winged Angel shouted: "Powerhouse! Hand over the treasure, and we can let you leave alive!"

The Golden Dragon echoed: "Be sensible! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Lin Chen shielded Clear Snow behind him, his Law Affinity invoking Space Law, and the space around him began to twist.

"Seeking death."

Before the words fell, the space suddenly contracted. The hundred-plus alien races didn't even have time to scream before they were compressed into blood pearls the size of fingernails, turning into powder upon hitting the ground.

Clear Snow's eyelids twitched at the sight, but she didn't soften her heart; she just leaned closer to Lin Chen.

"Let's go, time to go home." Lin Chen embraced her and invoked wind elements to ascend.

The journey back was exceptionally peaceful, with no other blind things coming to disturb them.

Clear Snow leaned in his arms, playing with the yanjie pearl: "Husband, have the flowers in the Resting World bloomed yet?"

"We'll know when we go back and see." Lin Chen lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair, "I'll make you Rock Sugar Pear again."

"I also want to eat the roasted fish you make." Clear Snow added, a smile hanging on her lips.

"I'll make it all for you." Lin Chen promised with a smile, his flight speed increasing a bit.

As the sun set, the System prompt finally sounded:

[Ding— bronze-grade task world "Shattered Battlefield" task ended, about to teleport back to the Resting World.]

A familiar feeling of dizziness washed over them, and Clear Snow held tightly onto Lin Chen's waist.

Opening their eyes again, they were back in the bronze-grade house, the gold-grade furniture emitting a warm luster.

Outside the window, it was indeed filled with colorful flowers, and as the breeze blew, the fragrance of flowers overflowed.

"We're back." Clear Snow looked out the window, her eyes full of joy.

Lin Chen took ingredients out of the Storage Space: "Wait a moment, I'll make you Rock Sugar Pear."

Clear Snow sat on the gold-grade sofa, touching her lower abdomen, watching the busy Lin Chen with a gentle smile on her lips.

[Resting time limit: 7 days]

The house was filled with a sweet fragrance, and the setting sun shone through the window, stretching their figures long.

With him here, with the baby here, no matter which world they were in, it was home.
