[Year 620]
"Huu..."
In the Real World, Li Wei stood frozen in place, dazed.
He reached out his hand, and a cube rotated within his palm. His Divine Soul could perceive everything within the cube; he could see a power of extreme cold inside, capable of freezing almost everything in the world.
The power of Rules seemed to be right beside him, tangible at a touch. With just a thought, this space could be his to command!
"Is this Void Refining?"
Li Wei furrowed his brow.
"In the Void Refining realm, the Primordial Spirit can merge into the void, shuttling through space across the span of an entire prefecture, undisturbed by external matters.
Taking a life from a thousand miles away with spiritual power is effortless. But having achieved 'False Void Refining,' I don't possess those abilities.
I only have this unique space, the power of Rules within it, and Void Refining techniques. As for combat power..."
Li Wei recalled the chase with Old Daoist Baimei back then. After running some calculations, he furrowed his brow. "I could actually put up a fight."
With that thought, Li Wei dared not delay for even a moment.
He checked the time in the game and hurriedly returned to Planet Yinwater.
He had spent nearly two days breaking through in the Real World, meaning forty years had already passed in the game.
He feared that Yaoqing and Yaotie's second set of "False Void Refining materials" was nearly complete.
Soon, Li Wei retrieved two portions of "Power of Rules" from Planet Yinwater and headed toward the location of the next planet.
...
"Forty years... how can the changes be this great?"
On the game panel, events appeared continuously in the event log.
[Li Family Year 581: Your descendant, Li Zhiheng, married Sun Sixiu of the Sun family.
The Li family and the Sun family of the Duravia Trade Prefecture have formed a marriage alliance, though they remain wary of each other.]
[Your descendant, Li Zhiheng, and Sun Sixiu have treated each other with mutual respect for many years, successively giving birth to three children:
Li Yuanling, Li Yuanwu, and Li Yuanshang.]
[Your descendant, Li Yuanling, studied under the same sect as Feng Lingqiu of the Azure Cloud Feng family. They were childhood sweethearts and have become husband and wife...]
——
[Your descendant, Li Xinjue, was implicated when his mother attempted to secretly harm Li Zhijing.
The plot was detected by the Hall of Heavenly Principle and reported to Li Xinghuo.
Enraged, Li Xinghuo expelled Li Xinjue's lineage from Northguard City, ordering them to establish a separate branch family in Silvermoon City.
Unless they repent, Li Xinjue's lineage will never be recorded in the clan genealogy.]
[Your descendant, Li Zhijing, cultivated diligently in Northguard City and joined the Northern Border Army's "Spirit Beast Stables" to breed mounts.
Acquired Trait: Female Beastmaster Officer.
Beast Taming talent increased; mount breeding speed increased by 20%.]
——
[Year 603]
[Your descendants, Li Tianyi, Li Tianqi, and Li Tianming, with the help of the many seniors within the 'Talisman of the Fourteen Profound Seals,' collectively broke through to the fifth-tier Divinity Transformation realm in the Duravia Trade Prefecture.
Their lightning tribulation encompassed a peerless genius of the Zhao Clan—only three hundred years old and on the verge of breaking through to Divinity Transformation—striking him dead with the lightning.
This caused Zhao Qingguang to vomit three liters of blood in anger, deepening the enmity between your family and the Immortal Zhao Clan.]
[Your descendant, Li Zhiheng, along with his wife Sun Sixiu, established a Li branch family at the Perennis Immortal Palace.
Wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, they have vowed not to emerge into the world until they reach the ultimate realm. Acquired Trait: Exquisite Dao Heart.]
[Cultivation speed increased by 100%, Dao comprehension increased by 30%.]
——
[Year 610]
[Sun Haotian, head of the Sun family in the Duravia Trade Prefecture, acting on a reminder from Sun Sixiu, has decided to sever all ties with the Zhao Clan.
Coordinating with the great aristocratic clans of two Regions in the Duravia Trade Prefecture, he has formed a pact of mutual assistance with Perennis Immortal City to jointly resist the pressure from the Immortal Zhao Clan.]
[Your descendant, Li Yuanwu, is twenty years old.
In his childhood in Merit City, he watched an old farmer practicing martial arts without cultivating any spiritual techniques, yet he felt the old farmer's strength was extraordinary.
The world cultivates spiritual techniques and neglects martial arts, deeming martial skills to be the path of mortals, but he has chosen to walk an unorthodox path.
He has battled a hundred beasts in Broadlake Region Mountain, wholeheartedly pursuing the Martial Dao. Acquired Trait: Initiate of the Martial Dao]
[When cultivating the Martial Dao, speed is increased by 20%.]
[Your descendant, Li Yuanshang, was born with Four Spirit Roots but has a partiality for Spirit Stones.
He subsequently joined the Light Division of the Hall of Heavenly Principle to engage in trade. Acquired Trait: Merchant]
[Year 618: To refuse a marriage alliance with the Nangong family of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, your descendant, Li Yuanshang, married Zhang Wan'er, the daughter of an old farmer in Merit City.
The following year, they went to the Imperial Capital.
The couple established a branch of the Li family's Hall of Heavenly Principle shops and gave birth to a son, Li Jianguo.]
——
[Year 620]
[Special Event—The Crown Prince Holds Court]
[The Human Emperor has established his ninth son, Prince Sheng, as the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince holds court but is obstinate and self-willed.
Prince Sheng believes the Imperial Preceptor is bringing disaster to the nation and its people; consequently, he has stripped the Imperial Preceptor of his power to supervise state affairs and placed heavy reliance on the "Heaven-Suppressing Department," which captures demons and ghosts throughout the world.
In a fit of rage, Imperial Preceptor Min Youguo handed over his great authority and ceased to concern himself with state affairs.]
[In that year, the Heaven-Suppressing Department governed through slaughter.
Twenty percent of the court officials died, throwing the government and the public into great chaos.
The 4th Prince raised his army once more, declaring that as long as a fool like Prince Sheng lives, the weapons of Duskwild Prefecture will not be laid down.]
"...."
Li Wei looked through the logs bit by bit.
This breakthrough had taken forty years; it felt as if he had woken up from a nap and the world had changed.
He couldn't help but retort, "Where did this big shot 'Prince Sheng' come from? He even dares to move against Min Youguo?"
Immediately, he hurriedly checked on the family.
Fortunately, Merit City was still a paradise beyond the mortal world and had grown even larger in scale.
It was just that in these forty years, many descendants he didn't recognize seemed to have appeared.
