417: Tiandao Agent

Next, Lu Chen arrived at another empty space, slowly spread his hands, and a Crimson Fate Core appeared in his palm—this was the data left behind after destroying the Chi Clan back then.

Immediately, the Heavenly Dao Authority poured out with a roar!

Rumble—!!!

A crimson-gold rift tore open in the sky, and endless Divine Flames descended from the Nine Heavens, pouring into the earth like a lava waterfall.

The ground swelled, reshaped, and rose—

A magnificent giant city rose up from nothing, constructed entirely of Crimson Crystal Dark Rock. Molten gold-like patterns flowed along its walls, and its towers pierced the clouds. The entire city resembled a beating heart, fiercely burning on the edge of the Divine Realm.

Chi City, reappeared!

Inside the city, hundreds of thousands of Chi Clan members were Reborn from dust and light—flesh re-condensed, Divine Souls returned to their places, and memories flooded back like a tide.

Their skin was fiery red, their pupils gleamed gold, and they were naturally born with a Crimson Mark on their foreheads, the seal of the Chi Clan Bloodline. Both men and women wore Crimson Scale Battle Armor, possessing a wild yet loyal aura, making them natural-born warriors and followers.

The crowd looked around blankly, still processing what happened, when they saw a figure above the sky, dressed in white surpassing snow, with eyes containing the Ten Thousand Realms, and though he held no light, he commanded all the All Heavens to bow.

"The... Heavenly Dao?!"

"We... we were resurrected?!"

"Is this the Divine Realm?!"

The entire Chi Clan was horrified, kneeling prostrate and touching the ground with their foreheads, even holding their breath.

Only Chi Yao recognized that figure instantly, and tears immediately streamed from her eyes.

"Lu Chen Gege—!!"

Ignoring the gaze of tens of thousands, she rushed forward like a moth to a flame, plunging into Lu Chen's embrace and hugging him tightly, as if afraid this was just another illusion.

Lu Chen sighed softly, raising his hand to stroke her red hair, and said gently, "Don't cry. I'm back."

This scene left all the Chi Clan members dumbfounded.

Their Rebirth was entirely due to Chi Yao's relationship with the Heavenly Dao!

They were basking in the glory of the Crimson Emperor to return to the world!

Hundreds of thousands of Chi Clan members simultaneously kowtowed, their foreheads heavily striking the Crimson Crystal Floor Tiles, their voices like thunder:

"Greetings, Heavenly Dao Master! Thank you, Master, for the grace of Re-creation!!"

Lu Chen helped Chi Yao up, scanned the entire clan, and spoke in a calm but unquestionable voice:

"Chi Clan, heed my command—you are one of the God Races I personally created. Your mission is the same as Lu City's: patrol the Lower Realm, select the Great Luck Holders, and assist them in growing, Ascending, and Breaking through their limits."

He pointed toward Lu City in the distant sea of clouds, his tone profound:

"You will be in competition with the Lu City God Race. Each of you has ten slots to find a Child of Destiny (the reason both sides are limited to ten slots is that if a Small World has too many Protagonists, the Luck and Opportunities will be diluted, which is detrimental to the birth of truly powerful Protagonists). Whichever side assists a Child of Destiny in reaching a higher Realm or Breaking through faster will receive a greater reward."

"Rewards include, but are not limited to: infusion of heavenly dao energy, Dao-Grade Cultivation Technique Legacy, bestowal of a Heavenly Dao Weapon, extension of life by ten thousand years, and even... the resurrection of your departed relatives."

Upon hearing this, the Chi Clan members were filled with passion!

Resurrecting relatives? That was a miracle they dreamed of but dared not hope for!

Chi Yao wiped away her tears, turned to face her clansmen, her eyes having recovered the majesty of an Emperor, yet carrying a hint of pride:

"Did you hear that? From today onward, the Chi Clan is the God Race Personally Chosen by the Heavenly Dao! Our glory is bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, and we shall earn it ourselves!"

Chi Yao looked at him affectionately: "Lu Chen Gege, don't worry, I will definitely defeat everyone. The reward I want is very simple: I want to spend ten days studying deeply with you!!"

Lu Chen coughed awkwardly: "Well, that, that doesn't count as a reward. Sometimes when I'm in a good mood, I'll give you a few free sessions."

Chi Yao was excited: "That's great! Lu Chen Gege, rest assured, I will Cultivate the most powerful Child of Destiny for you, so they can Ascend as soon as possible!!"

Next, Lu Chen also resurrected West Moon (Dawn Moon).

After all, West Moon's loyal performance in the previous life deserved an Opportunity.

What Lu Chen didn't expect was that after Dawn Moon was resurrected, she made a small request: to resurrect White Ember.

Lu Chen was speechless: "There's no need for that, is there? You hated White Ember so much. If I resurrect him, are you just going to kill him again?"

Dawn Moon said slyly: "I've figured it out. The grudges between White Ember and me have been entangled for two lives. Looking back now, I suddenly realized that the happiest days of my life were actually those spent loving and killing, mutually tormenting and tearing at each other with White Ember."

Pausing, Dawn Moon continued: "Actually, I understand that White Ember turning into a madman and a pervert later on was entirely caused by my obsession with revenge. I also bear some responsibility. I hope that in this life, I can properly discard past grievances with White Ember and let him serve me well!!"

Pfft!!

Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, alright. I'll grant your wish based on your loyalty in the previous life."

Before his voice faded, he lightly tapped his finger, and a thread of Divine Light descended like a star river, injecting into White Ember's data. The data stream reorganized itself from the Void Realm, and flesh, Divine Soul, and memories returned layer by layer.

White Ember was resurrected in the Divine Realm.

"Dawn Moon!"

The moment White Ember opened his eyes, only that figure existed in his gaze, filled with unbelievable ecstasy and love, transcending Reincarnation just to call her name once more.

Dawn Moon's lips curled up, and she proudly raised her chin: "I asked the Heavenly Dao Master to resurrect you. You don't need me to teach you what to do, right?"

White Ember immediately knelt down, his forehead touching the ground: "Thank you, Heavenly Dao Master, for the grace of Re-creation!"

"Enough, you don't need to thank me." Lu Chen's tone was indifferent, yet carried unquestionable authority. "I didn't resurrect you to put on some broken mirror reunion show here. You are still the Chosen One, your mission unchanged—Cultivate with all your might immediately, aiming for the God King Rank and even higher. At the same time, I need you two to guard the Divine Realm Boundary for me."

Lu Chen looked toward the distant sky where Chaos surged, his voice cold as iron:

"Beyond the Divine Realm is the Real World where I reside. That place is an Absolute Forbidden Zone. Regardless of who it is—Immortal, God, Demon, or Mortal—anyone who dares to touch the boundary shall be killed without mercy."

"Yes, Master!" The two answered in unison, bowing again.

"Remember," Lu Chen's eyes suddenly sharpened, "Even you are not allowed to harbor the slightest curiosity about The Outside. Otherwise—"

Lu Chen did not finish, but the intent to kill hung over them like a drawn blade.

Dawn Moon and White Ember spoke simultaneously and decisively:

"Master, rest assured! We have no interest in the Real World! In this life and this generation, we will only guard the boundary and never betray you!"

Lu Chen nodded slightly, satisfied.

With this setup, the Eternal World could continuously evolve and upgrade its Status.

The world's Status is like the version of a game server—the higher the version, the higher the open Rank limit, the deeper the Laws that can be loaded, ultimately feeding back to Lu Chen, the Heavenly Dao, helping him Break through his own constraints.

Lu Chen pointed his hand toward the majestic city above the sea of clouds in the distance—Lu City, the dwelling place of the God Race; and Chi City, burning with Crimson Fire, on the other side.

"Do you see those two cities? Those are the Two Great God Races I personally created. I made them compete with each other, specializing in patrolling the Lower Realm and selecting the 'Child of Destiny' with great Luck."

Lu Chen turned his gaze to the two of them, his meaning profound: "And your task is to seek out those with natural Villainous Temperaments in the Lower Realm—those who are gloomy, ruthless, and ambitious are all acceptable. Have them temper, suppress, or even hunt down those Children of Destiny. Only this way can the true Protagonists be selected."

Lu Chen's idea was simple: the Protagonists of Xuanhuan Novels usually require great setbacks and hardships to become truly powerful Protagonists.

Dawn Moon excitedly licked her tongue: "Understood, Master. We will definitely complete this mission. This is truly interesting!! I like it!!"

White Ember, however, asked worriedly: "What if, one day, the Cultivation of these Children of Destiny surpasses mine and Dawn Moon's? What then?"

Lu Chen said coldly: "That would mean you two are no longer suitable to guard the boundary for me."

Dawn Moon slapped White Ember across the face in anger: "You Stupid Woman! As Chosen Ones, how can we possibly be surpassed by Mortals from the Lower Realm? We must naturally maintain our Cultivation forever and not let Mortals catch up to us. If they get close, we kill them!!"

White Ember looked at West Moon with intoxication, enjoyment, and worship: "You are right, but could you slap me one more time?"
