248: Chapter 248 The Empress Reveals Her True Colors! The Aura of an Empress? She Wouldn't Even Be a Dog!

Su Feng accepted that pale yellow saint slip, then unfurled the ancient star chart.

"There are too many eyes and ears here, let's talk inside."

The Jidao Empress nodded and stepped into the Small World within the chart.

Su Feng's true body arrived directly at the courtyard where the Jidao Empress usually resided.

The furnishings here were very simple, one could even say crude.

There was only an Innate willow tree for shade, a stone platform for meditation, and a thatched wooden hut for shelter from the elements.

This was the residence of this top-tier overachiever. Aside from the necessities for cultivation, she had no redundant material comforts.

The Jidao Empress looked at Su Feng, who was sitting casually on the stone platform, with a complex expression in her eyes.

To this day, she couldn't understand why Su Feng possessed a complete Great Emperor-grade Magic Treasure like the heaven-sealing earth-locking tower.

Although the god slaying sword Su Feng had used before was also an Emperor Weapon, the gap between the two was like a natural chasm.

An Emperor Weapon was merely a weapon used by a Great Emperor-level powerhouse, with terrifying killing power.

But a Great Emperor-grade Magic Treasure was a Great Emperor's life-bound artifact, containing a complete set of world rules; its value far exceeded a common Emperor Weapon by a hundredfold!

For Su Feng, a Golden Immortal, to possess such an item, the Jidao Empress saw only two possibilities:

Either he was truly the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao, with Luck so Heaven-Defying that he gained the artifact's recognition.

Or, his ancestors had produced a true Great Emperor!

Whichever possibility it was, the terrifying potential and Foundation Su Feng displayed at this moment allowed the Jidao Empress to see a glimmer of hope for resisting the Realm Demonss in the future.

Therefore, she decided to stop hiding and have a showdown with Su Feng.

"I am not from this Star Domain of yours."

The Jidao Empress spoke softly, her voice cold yet carrying a hint of unmistakable weariness from the ages.

Su Feng sat on the stone platform, propping up his chin with one hand, quietly watching the Jidao Empress without interrupting.

"I come from the Tianluo Star Domain. Among the vast thousands of Star Domains in the Universe, Tianluo can only be considered a relatively small Realm."

The Jidao Empress said slowly, and on that habitually cold and beautiful face, a rare, deep sorrow emerged.

"But now, that Star Domain no longer exists."

Su Feng understood in his heart.

He had already heard about the Jidao Empress from Saint Lin Fan, so he naturally knew that place was where the Realm Demonss had launched a full-scale invasion.

"As for your Star Domain, I don't yet know its exact coordinates and name in the Universe."

The Jidao Empress took a deep breath, composed her emotions, and continued, "But judging from the thickness and inclusiveness of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, its scale is much larger than the Tianluo Star Domain; it should belong to the large-scale Star Domains."

"But I came to find you today because I need to solemnly remind you of one thing."

The Jidao Empress took a step forward, staring intently into Su Feng's eyes, her tone more serious than ever before:

"In the near future, the shadow of the Realm Demonss is destined to follow the rifts in space-time, spreading and invading your world!"

"It might be in a few hundred years, or perhaps tens of thousands of years, but... they will definitely come!"

The Jidao Empress stared closely at Su Feng, trying to see a hint of shock from those Ancient Heavy Pupils after hearing about such an apocalyptic crisis, or perhaps the fanatical Battle Intent a powerhouse should have when facing a challenge.

But unfortunately.

After hearing these words, Su Feng's expression didn't change at all.

He even let out a yawn, as if he were listening to a neighbor lady tell a not-so-exciting bedtime story.

Finally, under the Jidao Empress's almost murderous gaze.

Su Feng spoke; for the first time, he showed a ripple of emotion, which was a hint of pure confusion:

"That's it? You're finished?" Su Feng asked, blinking his eyes.

"You!!"

The Jidao Empress was so choked by Su Feng's indifferent, slippery attitude that she almost couldn't catch her breath, her chest heaving violently.

"Do you have any idea how serious this is?! Our Tianluo Star Domain had a true Great Emperor-level powerhouse presiding over it! That is an existence that transcends the Saint Realm!"

"But even so, we still couldn't resist the invasion of the Realm Demonss, and the people suffered!"

The Jidao Empress urgently raised her voice, trying to awaken this man's sense of crisis.

"I know."

"Then why are you still so leisurely?!" The Jidao Empress was almost going crazy.

Su Feng spread his hands, looking at the Jidao Empress with an expression as if looking at a fool. "Big sister, my current true Realm, at the very most, is only the Golden Immortal Ninth Path. I haven't even been to the Major Thousand Worlds, and I'm not even a Saint yet!"

"Resisting Realm Demonss and saving the peace of the Universe—this kind of high-difficulty dungeon is something Great Emperor-level powerhouses need to worry about, right?"

Although this matter would have to be faced sooner or later, Su Feng's current mindset was clear: for now, he would absolutely not take the initiative to provoke the trouble of the Realm Demonss!

If the sky falls, it's the tall Great Emperors in the Major Thousand Worlds who should hold it up first!

Why should he miss out on the benefits but not miss a single life-threatening task?

He was a cheater, yes, but he wasn't a sucker!

"No... you!" The Jidao Empress was shocked by Su Feng's clear-headed egoism.

"Your talent is so powerful and your Foundation so deep, you are destined to have the bearing of a Great Emperor in the future! How can you just lie flat and slack off?! How can you even sleep?!" The Jidao Empress stomped her feet in anxiety.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

When Su Feng heard the words 'bearing of a Great Emperor,' he instantly had a strong stress response and repeatedly waved his hand to interrupt her.

"Don't give me any high praise."

Su Feng stood up, patted the dust off his buttocks, and his tone became somewhat serious:

"Jiuyou, I'll be honest with you. In the short term, I have no intention of breaking through to the Saint Realm."

"You also know that my Human Race's Foundation is still shallow; we've only just gained a foothold in these Three Thousand Upper Realms. My children, like Hao'er, Mo'er, and the child in Youchu's belly, are all in the early stages of growth."

Su Feng walked up to the Jidao Empress, looked at her beautiful face filled with unwillingness, and sighed.

"My greatest thought right now is to stay here peacefully. To properly accompany my wives and children, watch them grow up, and thoroughly solidify the Su Family's Foundation."

Su Feng felt a wave of emotion in his heart as well.

He had Transmigrated to this cultivation world, and all in all, it had only been a few decades.

From a Qi Refinement Stage Trash whose marriage was called off, relying on the support of the many children, many blessings system, he had cheated his way through and sown seeds everywhere to accumulate the thick capital he had today to suppress all races.

He had worked himself to death for so many years; couldn't he stop his pace and properly enjoy the peaceful life of an Old Ancestor?

Looking at Su Feng's determined 'wives and children on a warm bed' appearance, the Jidao Empress felt as if her passionate blood for revenge and her grand plans for hegemony were like a heavy punch hitting cotton.

She was naturally an extremely competitive person and could least stand or understand Su Feng's state of living, where he clearly had Heaven-Defying conditions yet chose to 'slack off' voluntarily.

But she couldn't do anything about Su Feng.

Because she knew very well in her heart that if she broke through to the Saint Realm soon without the massive Family resources of the Su Family as support, her subsequent cultivation path to return to the Great Emperor level would surely fall into a long period of stagnation.

In the dozen or so years since joining the Su Family, the resource tilt the Su Family provided her could no longer be described as 'massive.'

This intensity of piling up resources had forcibly shortened her recovery period to her current Realm, which would have originally taken tens of thousands of years to reach.

Without Su Feng as her backer, what confidence would she have to quickly return to the Great Emperor Realm and resist the Realm Demonss?

"Forget it..." The Jidao Empress sighed silently, her eyes growing somewhat dim.

She knew she couldn't force Su Feng to bear the hatred and responsibilities of her past life.

Just as the two fell into silence and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

*Whoosh—*

A purple streak of light suddenly flashed across the horizon and landed lightly in front of the two.

The newcomer was none other than the reclusive Ying Liuli.

Today, she had rarely changed out of her casual cartoon pajamas and put back on a noble and elegant purple God Race gown.

With one hand gently shielding her slightly bulging lower abdomen and the other holding a jade pendant emitting a faint white light, she looked toward Su Feng.

"Su Feng."

Ying Liuli's expression was unusually serious as she handed the jade pendant over:

"Here. This is a wisp of a projection of will from Uncle Lin Fan through the World Tree just now."

"He said there is an extremely urgent matter inside that must be conveyed to you personally."

Su Feng raised an eyebrow, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

Su Feng took the saint talisman, which was shaped like a white jade pendant, and sent a wisp of Divine Sense into it.

However.

After clearly hearing the anxious message inside.

Su Feng's originally lazy and relaxed expression instantly vanished, and his brows furrowed tightly!
