446: "The Road to Sanctification, I Am the Lord" (End)

Great Yong Continent, Golden Scale Sect Disciple Recruitment Office.

"27000 points!"

The Outer Elder of the Golden Scale Sect stationed here looked at the token held by the young man before him, his Face filled with shock.

To think he could obtain over 20,000, nearly 30,000 points in the Myriad Kingdoms Battlefield, a place fraught with danger, and in just a few months!

Coupled with his young age.

This Child's talent is absolutely no less than the young generation recommended by various countries!

"Not bad, not bad, what is your name?"

The Outer Elder looked at the young man before him.

"Su Xuan," the boy replied seriously.

"Good, from today onwards, you are a formal Disciple of my Golden Scale Sect!"

"The points accumulated on this token can be exchanged at the Sect for required Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts, as well as various Materials, weapons, etc.!"

"Cultivate well, and strive to fully unleash your talent!"

The Outer Elder encouraged him with a heart full of joy.

"Yes!" Su Xuan nodded.

He had finally entered the Golden Scale Sect. The day he would go to Hell to find his parents wouldn't be far off!

...

Whale Country, Dragon Family.

Dragon Xian watched Dragon Xuan seriously flipping through business books by the window, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.

Not long ago, seeing that Dragon Xuan completely avoided Martial Arts and was wholeheartedly focused on business, Dragon Xian made a bet with him.

Betting on whether he could keep it up.

In Dragon Xian's view, asking Dragon Xuan to persistently read these business books was like asking someone allergic to oranges to eat a whole crate of them!

From childhood to adulthood, this Child had never even glanced at a business book.

And after making the bet with him.

Dragon Xuan actually persisted in reading dozens of books!

After questioning him, it was discovered that he had read each book thoroughly and understood what he learned!

Dragon Xian saw that this Child had truly made up his mind not to practice Martial Arts anymore.

He also saw his determination to engage in business.

"Were our expectations for him too high?" Dragon Xian murmured, looking behind him.

Only to see the figure of his Father, Long Qiu, appear.

"Doing business is also quite good," the white-haired Long Qiu said, his voice carrying a hint of weariness. "Aren't you a good example?"

"Since the Child wants to learn, then respect his ideas and let him be," Long Qiu said to Dragon Xian with a sigh.

"You didn't respect my ideas back then!" Dragon Xian looked at this old Father, a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"So, you should be able to understand even better how uncomfortable it is not to be supported and respected by your Father, right?"

"I indeed didn't respect your ideas back then. Are you going to do the same to your Child as I did to you?"

"I..." Dragon Xian clenched his fists, unable to say a word for a long time.

"I know you have high hopes for this Child, but we are both this age now, and it's time to accept the Child's ordinariness."

After Long Qiu finished speaking, he looked at Dragon Xian, seemingly wanting to say more, but in the end, he sighed, shook his head, and turned to leave.

Leaving Dragon Xian with a weary back view.

The gentle spring breeze, carrying fragrant petals, drifted and scattered by the window.

"Creak~" Behind him, the door opened.

Dragon Xuan, who was reading by the window, turned his head to look: "Father?"

"Put on your shoes and come with me. Your Father will teach you how to be a businessman and make big money!" Dragon Xian's tone carried a hint of reluctance, but it was more like he couldn't bring himself to lose Face.

"Okay!"

...

Ten months later.

"Ding~ Host's son Su Xuan, protagonist's Luck +1%, current protagonist's Luck 100%. Congratulations, Host, you have gained 10 million experience points."

An Ding Village.

After taking a detour, hiding it from his son, and bringing Sun Hanliu back, Su Yongchun heard the System's notification sound.

"It's 100%. I didn't expect it. I've truly become the protagonist's Father." The Man's mood was quite emotional.

"Chun Ge'er, who is this? Why did they occupy this spot?"

Among the withered grass graves in the distance, Sun Hanliu, holding some yellow paper, asked Su Yongchun.

Today was New Year's.

Following the custom of previous years, influenced by Su Yongchun, Sun Hanliu was also going to pay respects to her ancestors today.

"Hmm?" Su Yongchun came closer and looked at the place Sun Hanliu was pointing at.

Originally, that place was an empty plot, but now a grave mound had appeared.

[Grave of Bai Xiao Pangxie]

"It's Xiao Pangxie... he's also sleeping here now."

His thoughts couldn't help but trace back to the time he first saw the blue sky and white clouds of this World.

Back then, it was also Xiao Pangxie's few calls of "Chun Ge'er" that woke him from that deep Darkness.

Su Yongchun felt a little empty inside.

Old friends were perishing one after another, like fallen leaves in the wind.

After regaining his composure, the Man took a stack of paper money and burned it in front of his grave.

Looking at the adjacent grave mound of Xia Wazi, he shared some paper money with it.

"Crackling, crackling, crackling, crackling~"

The sound of firecrackers added a bit of liveliness to the desolate sky.

Not long after.

Flakes of snow, carried by the cold wind, drifted down from Heaven.

"It's New Year's." In the gradually darkening sky, Su Yongchun could see the myriad lights of homes in the distant Town and Dehe County, and even on the large ships of the Li family and others in the vast sea!

"It's New Year's!" Sun Hanliu hooked her arm around the Man beside her. "Chun Ge'er, what do you want for New Year's Eve dinner?"

"Extreme Ice Shrimp? Skyvine Dragon? Golden Cloud Sparrow?"

Listening to the ingredients the woman mentioned, which even Cultivators and Immortals would drool over, Su Yongchun shook his head. "Let's eat barbecue!"

"Barbecue?"

Not long passed.

At a small table, Su Yongchun and Sun Hanliu sat facing each other.

Looking at the set of ingredients exchanged from the System, Su Yongchun felt something was off.

What was off?

After a moment's pause, he realized that after exchanging these items, the experience points were deducted, but the System surprisingly had no notification sound!

It was as if the System before him, which originally had sales customer service.

Had now become an automatic vending machine.

There was nothing to be conflicted about.

Su Yongchun poured Sun Hanliu a cup of Fat Guy Happy Water.

He took a sip, paired with a slice of barbecue.

Compared to back then, the taste was quite different.

He didn't know if the System had adulterated it, or if his taste buds had become pickier, or perhaps, something was missing.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As night truly fell, the dark sky in the distance, where heavy snow was falling, was filled with streaks of brilliant fireworks.

Countless distant gazes seemed to connect through that patch of fireworks, which then forged such magnificent blossoms of fire.

"It's New Year's, Happy New Year!" Sun Hanliu took out a pair of gloves from her Storage Bags and handed them to Su Yongchun.

"I refined these for a long time, preparing them for four or five years to forge this Divine Artifact. Aren't you touched?"

Sun Hanliu had a smug expression, waiting for praise.

However, Su Yongchun froze after receiving this gift.

Gift...

"System, where is my Year-end Ball? No wonder this New Year's Eve dinner doesn't taste right. Are you not even arranging the Year-end Ball?"

Su Yongchun said to the System in his heart.

However, after his question was sent out for a long time, he still didn't receive any response from the System.

"Chun Ge'er? What's wrong?" Sun Hanliu looked at Su Yongchun curiously.

"It's nothing." The Man shook his head, looked at the gloves in his hand, and smiled at the woman. "Thank you, I like them very much."

As he finished speaking, Su Yongchun turned directly and walked into the heavy snow.

"System? It's New Year's, have you forgotten something?"

Su Yongchun asked aloud at this moment.

After his words fell, the System's panel unfolded before his eyes.

"See, I still have to remind you," Su Yongchun's heart, for some unknown reason, instantly calmed down. "Actually, I don't know why I insist you give me a Year-end Ball, but this is a ceremony after all."

After the Man saw the light screen, his tone relaxed quite a bit.

"Host is already strong enough and no longer needs the System."

"Host, goodbye."

In the light screen, two sentences, 19 characters, four symbols, exploded into his vision with extreme clarity!

It was even more like a breakup letter, engraved deep within his Soul!

"System... You...?" Before Su Yongchun could say anything, the light screen before his eyes had already disappeared!

And at the same time, the experience points stored on the System directly transformed into streams of power, bringing about a rapid surge in his strength!

However, Su Yongchun didn't care about any of this in the slightest.

"System! You just slipped away?!"

"Over seventy years of rapport, and you just leave like that?!"

"You were the one who brought me to this World, and now you're just leaving me here alone and running off?!"

Su Yongchun's breathing was rapid.

This situation, this scene, he had never thought of it in all these years.

Perhaps there was that one moment he had thought of this situation, but he simply didn't dare to think about it deeply.

In his opinion, how could the System possibly leave? That was simply impossible!

It was just that he understood even better.

It seemed he had no reason at all to make the System stay by his side.

"System!"

Half a month later.

Su Yongchun listened to the "whooshing" sound of the tide, and on the reef where he had first woken up years ago, he opened his red and swollen eyes.

"System?"

There was no response.

It had been like this for half a month.

It was like something that didn't exist at all, responding to his non-existence with desolation.

Exhaling a mouthful of stale air, the Man's mood was much calmer compared to the beginning.

Looking at the distant Lantern Festival revelry, Su Yongchun clenched his fist and muttered inwardly, "Don't let me ever catch you."

"Otherwise, I'll tie you to my side for hundreds of millions of years! No, I'll tie you until I die!"
