Jiang Che brought Shen Yu to the Jiang family.

As a medium between realms, the passage to the mortal world had already opened, making it easier for powerful beings to descend their divine consciousness without the previous caution of being detected by the Heavenly Dao.

However, they still couldn’t unleash their full strength.

Though Blue Star had expanded rapidly and the dimensional stability had strengthened significantly, the Heavenly Dao continued to shield the mortal world.

Several supreme elders from the Nine Heavens had split their divine souls to descend to the Jiang family in the lower realm as a precaution.

After all, Jiang Che represented the future of their Jiang family—they absolutely couldn’t afford any mishaps.

"Wife, be sharp when the time comes. Don’t hold back when you meet those old geezers—we’re taking every last bit of resources we can get," Jiang Che declared shamelessly, wrapping an arm around Shen Yu.

Shen Yu lowered her gaze and remained silent.

"Ah~ Just leave it to me. Since they’ve bet everything on me, they’re going to bleed a little," Jiang Che mused.

Was he the kind of person to take a loss?

"But... won’t revealing that our baby is a Transcendent Immortal Physique attract danger?" Shen Yu pondered for a moment before speaking up.

A single Immortal Physique was terrifying enough to provoke forces into crossing realms to assassinate Jiang Che, even with the Jiang family’s protection.

"No worries. High risk, high reward. As long as no Great Emperor personally descends, I’m not afraid!"

Jiang Che was brimming with confidence—this was the assurance his "System Mom" had given him.

With billions of points in reserve, even a Great Emperor... could probably be beaten half to death.

"Oh!"

Shen Yu trusted Jiang Che unconditionally. The once highly rational young woman seemed to have been led astray, gradually becoming his devoted little fangirl.

......

In the Jiang family of the Nine Heavens...

"What? The Three Realms Bell tolled because of our Jiang family?"

A withered old man exclaimed in disbelief.

"Indeed. The ancestor in the ancestral tomb personally divined it—the Three Realms Bell resonated due to changes in the mortal world. And right now... the most likely source of upheaval in the mortal world is Jiang Che," another Great Emperor added.

"Ah~ Who knows if this is a blessing or a curse? The emergence of a Dual Immortal Physique will inevitably disrupt the balance of the Nine Heavens. Countless hostile forces will surely scheme in the shadows..."

The room fell into silence.

The potential of a Dual Immortal Physique was too immense—a peerless prodigy unseen in hundreds of millennia. Even in the vast expanse of the Nine Heavens, the birth of one consumed the accumulated fortune of an entire era.

"Think of the Human Sovereign back then. Rising from ruin, stepping over the corpses of countless prodigies to become a Great Emperor. So many wanted her dead, yet she escaped calamity every time, eventually becoming unrivaled for a hundred thousand years. For sixty or seventy thousand years afterward... not a single Immortal Physique emerged in the Nine Heavens—all the fortune had been drained."

Even the Jiang family’s Great Emperors couldn’t help but revere the Human Sovereign.

"The problem now is that Jiang Che’s Dual Immortal Physique has been exposed too early. Once the separation of Heaven and Earth is complete, unless our Jiang family shields him completely... even then, it may not be enough."

"Disrupting the balance of the Nine Heavens... a great calamity may follow."

Just then, Jiang Hong’s expression suddenly shifted.

"Wait—Jiang Che is contacting me? Could something have gone wrong?"

"My divine soul has been restless lately. I sense impending misfortune... it must still be because of Jiang Che."

With that, Jiang Hong split off a wisp of his soul, carved an intricate formation, and conjured a translucent screen.

On the other side was none other than Jiang Che.

Cross-realm communication was simple for a powerhouse like a Great Emperor, but avoiding the Heavenly Dao’s detection required caution.

"Jiang Che, have you encountered trouble?"

Jiang Hong stood with his hands behind his back, his voice laced with authority.

The other Great Emperors of the Jiang family also straightened their expressions.

"Nothing serious. Just that my wife is pregnant... and the heavenly treasures needed to nourish the child... think you could...?"

Jiang Che stretched out his hand, shamelessly playing the beggar.

Once, he had despised freeloaders the most—but now, he had become what he once loathed.

"Cough... What? Heavenly treasures?" Jiang Hong nearly choked.

In his mind, Jiang Che must have encountered some insurmountable crisis in the lower realm, hence the plea for aid.

But never had he imagined... this brat would open with a demand for money?

"Didn’t I give you the Azure Dragon Ring? It contains my lifetime’s collection—every rare treasure imaginable," Jiang Hong stroked his beard.

"Ancestor, the Azure Dragon Ring was for me, not my child. Even brothers settle accounts clearly..."

Jiang Hong: "......"

Another middle-aged Great Emperor couldn’t hold back. "Jiang Che, lad, I recall the Jiang family’s Elder Council recently approved a massive batch of cultivation resources to be sent to the lower realm upon hearing of your impending child. Don’t tell me you didn’t receive them!"

The Jiang family was an eternal lineage, spanning hundreds of millennia in the Nine Heavens—some even claimed their origins traced back to the era of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Their treasures were beyond measure, and their generosity knew no bounds!

"Heh, I got them, sure... but it’s not enough!"

Jiang Che spread his hands, feigning helplessness.

"Not enough?????"

Another Great Emperor nearly blew his beard in rage. "I oversee the Jiang family’s finances! That batch of resources passed through my hands!"

"Ancestor, I’m not lying—it really isn’t enough!"

"How could it not be enough?" The elder pulled out a thick booklet and flipped through it.

"One thousand top-grade spirit stones, five Divine Spirit Fruits, a wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi, an acre of supreme spiritual farmland, ten vials of Emperor-grade elixirs..."

For a full ten minutes, the old man listed off the rarest treasures imaginable.

"And you’re telling me this isn’t enough??? Even the Jiang family’s young master never received such treatment!"

How could he not be furious?

It was like gifting a struggling friend 880,000 for their newborn, only to be called stingy.

"Ancestor, these things truly aren’t enough!"

The elder’s temper flared—even a Great Emperor was provoked. "How is it not enough? Even an Immortal Physique would be satisfied!"

Jiang Che merely smirked. "Ancestor... what if it’s not an Immortal Physique?"

"Not an Immortal Physique? A Saint Physique would need even less..."

Clearly, these Great Emperors’ understanding was still confined to the realm of Immortal Physiques.

To them, an Immortal Physique was the pinnacle of constitutions.

They hadn’t even considered anything beyond.

At this moment, Jiang Che simply chuckled and clapped his hands. "Wife, come out."

Then, Shen Yu stepped forward, appearing on the screen. The stunningly beautiful young woman wore a maternity dress, her belly round, yet her flawless features remained untouched.

The moment Shen Yu appeared, all the Jiang family's great emperors were stunned.
