---

This year, Gu Qingfeng turns 100 years old.

Since his breakthrough to the Great Sage Realm, twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over these two decades, the Divine Might Dynasty has entered a period of rapid development.

The bloodline of the Gu family has also experienced significant advancement.

Firstly, the second generation, Gu Shengxing and Gu Shengan, have continued to expand the family over these twenty years, with the number of descendants steadily increasing.

As a result, the number of third-generation members in the Gu family has already surpassed twenty.

As for the second generation, the number of members has not increased significantly.

This is because Gu Yang has already reached the sixth level of the Dao Palace Realm, and the probability of him having more descendants is naturally low.

Additionally, he is deeply devoted to his cultivation and managing state affairs, leaving him with little energy for other matters.

As for Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu, there is even less to say.

Gu Xuan is a saintly son of the Celestial Void Holy Land, possessing a divine body and holding the potential to contend for the Great Emperor Realm. It is naturally impossible for him to be entangled by emotional attachments.

As for Gu Xiu, there is even less to say.

Over these years, Gu Xiu has been in the Demon Realm, stirring up chaos and turning the entire Demon Realm upside down.

With a cultivation at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm and a broken Imperial Armament, the two combined make it so that even if they bleed, they will not yield.

Therefore, the second generation of the Gu family is essentially all descendants of Gu Yang, with no relation to the other two.

As for the first generation, there is even less to say.

Gu Qingfeng has long stopped having more descendants, and for him, Gu Yang, Gu Xuan, and Gu Xiu are already sufficient.

The third generation of the Gu family is entirely descended from Gu Yang's bloodline, and the number has already reached twenty.

Moreover, among the third generation.

The eldest, Gu Yunfeng, has already reached thirty years of age.

At this age.

He has already reached the age for marriage.

"Among the third generation descendants, the youngest is already fourteen years old. It won't be long before the fourth generation of the Gu family is born!"

"The expansion of the bloodline won't take much longer!"

Gu Qingfeng smiles slightly.

The expansion of the Gu family's bloodline is something he is happy to see.

Over these twenty years.

Even if the first descendant, Gu Yang, only broke through one realm, Gu Qingfeng has still accumulated over ten thousand Enhancement Points.

The fundamental reason is that the other descendants have contributed numerous Enhancement Points.

One person may not contribute much.

But with more people.

The Enhancement Points naturally increase.

Additionally, after Gu Qingfeng broke through to the Great Sage Realm, cultivating the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Art became much easier.

Twenty years of secluded cultivation allowed him to successfully cultivate this divine ability to the perfection stage, enough to rival the former Heaven Phoenix Great Sage.

However—

Gu Qingfeng was only comparable to the Heaven Phoenix Divine Art.

In terms of strength, he had long surpassed the former Heaven Phoenix Great Sage and reached a whole new level.

At the same time.

Over twenty years.

The evil calamity became increasingly severe.

Many ancient forces suffered heavy losses when facing the evil calamity.

Even worse.

Some were directly annihilated by the evil calamity.

Among them.

The Starry Empire was one of the severely affected by the evil calamity.

Ten years ago.

A powerful evil calamity invaded on a large scale, and the Starry Empire suffered significant losses.

Later.

It was only after the Starry Empire's Emperor Sovereign Lu Zhen personally intervened and used the last remaining Quasi-Imperial Armament that the evil calamity was suppressed.

Even so.

In these ten years, the Starry Empire was also unable to recover much of its essence energy.

As for the Divine Might Dynasty, they also faced the evil calamity.

Over twenty years, Gu Qingfeng also took action several times.

Each time he acted, it was because there were Half-Emperor level evil calamities appearing, hence his need to suppress them.

As for the evil calamities below the Sage level, Gu Qingfeng didn't pay too much attention.

...

"Father!"

On this day, Gu Yang personally visited the Gu Manor.

Gu Qingfeng glanced at him and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

"There's a suspected world-ending evil calamity in the Middle Region, the Great Zhou Empire has been destroyed, and all living beings in a state have perished, becoming the evil calamity's blood food!"

Gu Yang's expression became extremely solemn as he spoke word for word.

Upon hearing this.

Gu Qingfeng's face changed slightly.

"A world-ending evil calamity!"

Although he had heard about the Great Zhou Empire, in fact, he didn't know much about it.

After all, the Great Zhou Empire was in the Middle Region, and the Nine Provinces were adjacent to the East Region, and the distance between them was far more than ten thousand miles.

But no matter what.

Being able to establish an empire in a region.

Their foundation and strength were absolutely not simple.

Moreover.

The Middle Region was the center of the Ancient World, and the most prosperous place.

The empires that could stand there were naturally among the top-notch existences among numerous empires.

Now.

The Great Zhou Empire's destruction.

If it weren't for a world-ending evil calamity, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve this.

"Now, what plans do you have for the Middle Region?"

Gu Qingfeng asked.

"Leading the Red Dust Immortal Sect, the Ancient Qin Family, and other Imperial-level forces, they want to combine the strength of the entire Ancient World to jointly exterminate the Great Zhou's world-ending evil calamity!"

"Based on the speculation of the top forces in the Middle Region, that head of the world-ending evil calamity, now that the entire Great Zhou Empire has been destroyed, it is very likely to take a further step and enter a level comparable to the Imperial level."

"If there's an Imperial-level evil calamity, it would be a disaster for the entire human race!"

Gu Yang spoke in a deep voice.

In the ancient world of the Great Emperor's absence, if a maleficent being comparable to the Great Emperor were to appear, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Gu Yang was well aware of the concerns held by the Red Dust Immortal Sect and other Great Emperor factions.

Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath, his face regaining its calm.

"So, what brings you here?"

"The Ancient Qin Family has sent someone, hoping that Father will personally make a trip to the Central Domain!"

Gu Yang replied truthfully.

"The Ancient Qin Family—"

Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly.

There are numerous Qin families in the ancient world, but only one is prefixed with the word 'ancient'.

The 'ancient' in the Ancient Qin Family represents the ancient era.

In other words, the Ancient Qin Family is an ancient noble family that has existed since the ancient era.

Like the Red Dust Immortal Sect, the Ancient Qin Family has produced powerful individuals who have reached the Great Emperor realm, carrying the bloodline of the Great Emperor.

At this thought, countless pieces of information about the Great Emperor's bloodline flooded into Gu Qingfeng's mind.

Great Emperor!

This is the pinnacle of cultivation in the ancient world.

The profoundness of this realm is unmatched by any other.

Even the so-called Quasi-Emperor pales in comparison to the Great Emperor, like an ant.

Throughout the endless years of the ancient world, truly heaven-defying demonic geniuses who can rival the Great Emperor at the Quasi-Emperor level are few and far between.

Every Great Emperor is an invincible existence.

Furthermore, there is the unique characteristic of the Great Emperor.

Any cultivator who ascends to the Great Emperor realm will have their direct bloodline influenced by the power of the Great Emperor, transforming into the bloodline of the Great Emperor.

It can be said that with the birth of a Great Emperor, it is a true case of one person's enlightenment leading to the rise of many.

No matter how mediocre your talent is, at the moment the Great Emperor attains enlightenment, you will possess more or less the bloodline of the Great Emperor.

This way, your innate talent can undergo a significant change.

Even the descendants born later can basically inherit the bloodline of the Great Emperor, and even if it is generations later, causing the bloodline to become diluted and the awakening probability to decrease significantly, there is still a chance for a return to the ancestral bloodline.

Therefore, any Great Emperor's family can achieve true longevity.

So-called decline is only relative.

Just like the Ancient Qin Family mentioned by Gu Yang, since the fall of the Great Emperor in the Ancient Qin Family, countless years have passed.

Even so, the Ancient Qin Family remains one of the top powers in the Central Domain.

No matter the era, the Ancient Qin Family has produced countless powerful individuals.

Even without the birth of a new Great Emperor, the number of Saint-level and above, even Saint King and Quasi-Emperor-level experts, is unmatched by any other.

Hearing about the Ancient Qin Family, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but think, "If I can attain the Great Emperor realm one day, all the direct bloodline of the Gu family will transform into the bloodline of the Great Emperor."

At that time, he might instantly gain an unimaginable amount of improvement points.

All these thoughts flashed through Gu Qingfeng's mind and disappeared.

Finally, he looked at Gu Yang and spoke calmly, "Where are the people from the Qin family? I'd like to meet them and see what's so special about a Great Emperor's family!"

"If Father wishes, tomorrow I will have someone from the Ancient Qin Family come to Gu Family Village to pay their respects to Father!"

Hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, Gu Yang visibly relaxed.

To be honest, the Ancient Qin Family also puts a lot of pressure on him.

Even in the past few decades, with the Divine Might Dynasty at its peak, its dominance over the Nine Provinces unshakable, and even within the East Domain, they have accumulated thick roots.

With the resources compensated by the Starlight Empire, the annexation of the Return Origin Dynasty, and the continuous supply of resources from 373 prefectures, the strength of the Divine Might Dynasty has directly skyrocketed in a short period.

Even so, the gap between the Divine Might Dynasty and the Ancient Qin Family is still astonishingly large.

In Gu Yang's opinion, the greatest foundation of the Divine Might Dynasty is Gu Qingfeng.

However, as an ancient Great Emperor's family, the Ancient Qin Family's foundation is also unfathomably deep, and they even possess Imperial Artifacts.

Facing such a top power, Gu Yang naturally treated them with caution.

The Ancient Qin Family wanted to invite Gu Qingfeng, but Gu Yang found it difficult to make such a decision on his own, so he went to Gu Family Village to meet with Gu Qingfeng.

Now that he has gained Gu Qingfeng's agreement, Gu Yang feels relieved.

The next day, a young cultivator arrived at Gu Family Village and delivered a letter of invitation to Gu Peng.

"Qin Ruo of the Ancient Qin Family, I specially request an audience with Gu Qingfeng, Senior. I hope you will pass on my request!"
