Chapter 1766: Train His Children
After Will left, Huang Lingzhu stared blankly at the Ancient Devil Domain. She had always acted as she pleased since she met Tang Xiao, and she planned everything for the safety of the universe.
Everything was going smoothly until Chaos decided to appear, and his presence put immense pressure on her. Even though she was the strongest living creature in the universe, she was nothing in the eyes of her creator—or to be precise, the creator of everything.
Despite her efforts and all her plans to save the universe, she knew that she would never be able to escape the control of Chaos.
Even if Ling Yun managed to defeat Chaos and take his place in the future, she was aware that she would never have her freedom, and the only way to be free was by death.
She grew tired of her life, and she decided to follow Long Hun for two reasons. She truly loved him, and she didn’t want to continue to be controlled by anyone.
For the first time in her life, she experienced a sense of helplessness. Even though she was the strongest living creature, and she had the ability to control time, she had no control over her life.
After some time, she decided to leave that place, and she wandered around endlessly, thinking about her life, her purpose, and many other things.

Shijian stood naked in the hidden chamber with a serious expression.
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Zuzhou asked, hugging her from behind.
"Huang Lingzhu was previously outside this domain." Xie Zuzhou stiffened. "She knew that I was freed from my prison, but she didn’t dare to meet me because I was her contradiction."
"You mean?"
"Although Huang Lingzhu is stronger than me, Chaos created her according to me." Shijian turned to him. "As long as I’m around, she won’t be able to use her abilities, and she’ll be no different from an ordinary woman."
Xie Zuzhou raised an eyebrow. "Does that mean you won’t be able to use your abilities if she’s around?"
"Yes," Shijian nodded. "I don’t know how Chaos did it; neither Huang Lingzhu nor I would be able to use our powers if we were close to each other."
"Is that the reason that woman never dared to enter my domain?"
Shijian smirked in disgust. "Do you think she’s afraid of you? With her strength and abilities, she can kill you and wipe out your devil race without batting an eye. She didn’t attack you because she needed you to succeed in her plans, and she didn’t dare enter this domain because of me."
"I see." Xie Zuzhou nodded in understanding. "In that case, I’ll hand over Huang Lingzhu to you, and I’ll face Ling Yun and the others."
Shijian shook her head in disappointment. "Do you think things are as easy as you imagine? She has the immortal race under her command, remember? Both you and your race members are no match for them, and they have the ability to wipe out all of you in no time."
"I know that, but I have you, right?" Shijian frowned. "Since you and Huang Lingzhu have the same abilities, you should be able to help my army to become stronger, right? I had several ideas for building my new army, but I dropped them because the process took too long."
"Explain to me." Xie Zuzhou immediately explained to Shijian about some of his old plans, including creating the devil babies. "I will help you accelerate the process, so you should order your subordinates to carry out your plans now. In the meantime, I will help you increase your strength; otherwise, you won’t be able to face Ling Yun, let alone those immortals."
After Xie Zuzhou contacted his subordinates and gave them some instructions, Shijian pushed him down again, and they restarted their activities.

At Yunlong Zhuzhai, Ling Yun had already brought the exhausted Hua Xianren to her room, and he left her there to rest.
Ling Yun checked the entire area of his residence, and he found several of his children gathered together, so he immediately went there to meet them.
"What are you all talking about? Why aren’t you guys cultivating or training?"
"Father." Ling Yun squinted his eyes when he saw Di Tiandi holding the hand of his sister, Feng Xingyun. "Father, we—"
"Do you two like each other?" Ling Yun asked them.
Feng Xingyun blushed when Ling Yun asked that, but she didn’t know that her father had been watching them for a long time. Although he didn’t spoil his other children, he always paid attention to them. Furthermore, Feng Xing and Di Tousen repeatedly told him about the closeness of their two children, so he could immediately guess their relationship.
Di Tiandi looked at him. "Father, I like Little Sister Xingyun, and she likes me too."
"Answer me, Xingyun." Ling Yun looked at his daughter.
Feng Xingyun nodded and said in a shy manner. "I like Big Brother Tiandi, Father."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "If you two like each other, I have no problem with that. After all, I’m not a good father, and my relationship is a complete mess."
"No!" Ling Yun’s children shouted in unison.
Liu Shiyuan, daughter of Liu Qiyue, ran over and hugged Ling Yun. "You will always be the best father to us, Father. Even though you never pamper us like you pamper Big Sis Jingqiu and Big Sis Shengxia, we know that you love us, and you always give us everything we need for our cultivation."
"Haha," Ling Yun hugged her back and rubbed her head. "All of you are my children, and it is my duty to fulfill all your needs."
"Father, you have given us everything, and we are so grateful to have you as our father." Ying Jianshen, son of Ling Yin and Ying Zi, said.
Feng Bingyun and Feng Xueyan, the daughters of Feng Bing’er and Feng Yujie, stood side by side and said it. "Father, we know you will have more children in the future, but we hope you will never change your attitude towards us."
"Father, you can’t forget us when you have more children, okay?" Ying Jianshen, son of Ying Zi, spoke with a serious look.
"Do you really think our father will forget us, Brother Ying?" Yun Changsheng, Zhong Chenyu’s son, asked while shaking his head. "Even if our father had hundreds of other children, he would never forget us, let alone abandon us."
"Father, we are still weak now, but we will never let you down, and we will strive hard for our future," Ling Tianyun and Yi Tianming, sons of Ling Yin and Yi Mingzhu, said.
Zhao Zhanfeng and Tang Wuxian, sons of Zhao Yao and Tang Ziyi, nodded in agreement with their brothers. "Father, we promise you, we will make you proud of us."
"Don’t worry, I will never forget you all, let alone abandon you." Ling Yun looked at his children’s faces one by one. "No matter what happens in the future, all of you are my children, and I will always be proud of you all. It’s just that I’m worried that I won’t be able to return to your side in the future, so I hope you guys will focus on your cultivation. If I really can’t return after defeating Chaos, you guys must protect each other."
Their mood turned gloomy after Ling Yun mentioned his future battle against Chaos. Moreover, all their mothers had decided to follow him into the abyss, and their chances of returning from that place were still unclear.
"Father." Liu Shiyuan hugged him tighter. "Are you confident in your chances of winning against Chaos?"
"I don’t have confidence." Their hearts sank, and they looked at Ling Yun with fear on their faces. "I don’t have confidence right now, but I still have plenty of time to prepare myself before our battle. Besides, Huang Lingzhu has accelerated the flow of time in our residence, so I have ten times more time than other living beings. When the time comes, I will face Chaos, and I will defeat him for the safety of you all."
"Father, you have to promise us that you will return to our side."
Ling Yun inwardly sighed. "I promise all of you, I will return to your side again."
Liu Shiyuan released Ling Yun from his arms and pulled him away to the training ground. "Let’s go, brothers and sisters! Our father will train us today, and we won’t stop until we’re exhausted!"
"Let’s go!" All of them shouted excitedly, following behind Lin Shiyuan and Ling Yun.

When they arrived at the training ground, they found Yun Qingfeng, Yun Longhun, Yun Shengyun, Meng Ke’er, Xuanyuan Yue, and Lian Ziyue sparring with each other.
"Big Brothers! Big Sisters! Stop your spars now!" They immediately stopped and turned to Lin Shiyuan. "Our father will accompany us to train, so we have to work together to defeat him!"
Yun Qingfeng, Yun Longhun, Yun Shengyun, Meng Ke’er, Xuanyuan Yue, and Lian Ziyue exchanged glances for a moment.
"Father, you—"
"Hey! Your enemies won’t be easy on you, right?" Yun Qingfeng and Yun Longhun trembled violently, and cold sweat dripped from their foreheads. They still remembered how Ling Yun had beaten them up some time ago, and they wouldn’t have been able to get out of bed if it weren’t for Xiao Yin’s help. "All of you must spread now!"
Ling Yun’s other children immediately spread to the side of the training ground, except for Yun Qingfeng and Yun Longhun, who did not move from their spot.
"Why are you two staring blankly like that?" Ling Yun asked his two sons. "Since you two are standing at the front, I will teach you guys a lesson first."
"No!" Yun Qingfeng and Yun Longhun screamed in fear and immediately ran away. However, Ling Yun was much faster than them, and he beat them head-on.
"Argh! Evil father! You want to kill us!"
"Nonsense! You two are my children, so I won’t kill you!"
"Father, don’t hit my handsome face!"
"Stop talking and fight me!"
