I Want to Bring More Love to This World

Tianyue City, Zihua Community. Unlike Jun'an Community, the residents living here were either extraordinarily wealthy or held noble station. Inside a spacious luxury flat, Wu Qi tied her white bathrobe tight, her brows furrowed. "Xiao Qi, why be so arrogant? That is... a legendary immortal cultivation sect! "Sure, it might be a small sect, but to those of us on Arch Star, isn't every single one of them a true Divine Court? "Look at my cousin—how ordinary a girl she used to be, just a server in a milk tea shop making three thousand a month. "And now? She was tested and found to have cultivation talent, joined the Hunsha Sect, and the village genealogy opened a solo page just for her! Do you understand the sheer weight of that? "To put it bluntly, you used to be a celebrity with status and fame, but compared to these immortal cultivators, aren't you just an entertainer selling smiles? "Now you have the talent, so what's wrong with joining the Soul Fiend Sect? Even if you're only an outer disciple, it's not like just anyone can get in. "Once you join, my cousin can pull some strings, and you can work under her. Your future would be limitless..." Her agent's voice droned on and on, ceaseless and grating. Wu Qi had a splitting headache from listening to her. The Soul Fiend Sect was indeed a small sect, possessing only a single Origin Core ancestor in its inner sect. It was recruiting disciples across Qinyuan and had gained a bit of renown. Many whose talent fell short of grand sects like the Tianxuan Sect chose to join small or medium sects like the Soul Fiend Sect. Yet even such smaller sects did not take just anyone. Wu Qi's talent was not great, but she did possess some, barely scraping past the threshold. With the agent's cousin having entered the Soul Fiend Sect as an official disciple, the agent was eager to have Wu Qi join as well to serve as her cousin's lackey. "Sister Liu, my situation is quite complicated, so let's not force the matter," Wu Qi replied firmly. "Xiao Qi, I know you're still pining after that Mr. Qi. "You want to climb into his bed and become a noble lady. "But times have changed! You need to be an independent, self-reliant woman. Join the Soul Fiend Sect, and you *are* nobility! "That Qi Yuan is a count at most. In the eyes of immortal cultivators, what is he but a slightly larger ant?" the agent urged earnestly. "Back then, you were a minor celebrity, so I could understand you coveting his power and influence. "But now... times have changed! "He has become just one of the common masses. Stop wasting your youth on him!" Wu Qi was speechless. She could not reveal Qi Yuan's true identity. Just then, a famous line crossed her mind, and she said, "In the past, sitting at the bottom of the well looking at the sky, when I saw Mr. Qi, it was as a frog at the bottom of a well beholding the sun and moon. Now that the immortal path is reviving, when I see Qi Yuan, it is as a mayfly beholding the vast blue sky." "You... just what kind of love potion did he feed you?" The agent's voice was laden with disappointment. Right at that moment, the doorbell rang. "A guest is here. I have to hang up!" Wu Qi hastily ended the call, feeling puzzled. Who would come to her apartment in the middle of the night? Could it be one of her close friends? With that thought, she walked to the door and looked through the peephole. When she saw the face outside, an overwhelming joy flashed across her expression. "Mr. Qi!" Standing outside the door was none other than Mr. Qi. He had actually returned. And... what was he looking for her for? Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Qi opened the door, her face radiant with delight. "Mr. Qi, what brings you here?" As a cool breeze drifted in from outside and brushed against her bare shoulders, she suddenly realized she was wearing only a bath towel, and her face flushed crimson. "My hearing is quite good. Mmh, just now the wind carried over some words saying you wanted to climb into my bed..." "Ah? She was talking nonsense! That's not true at all!" Wu Qi rushed to explain. At this moment, she was utterly nervous, her heart pounding frantically against her ribs, the entire world feeling somewhat surreal. "Mmh, as long as it's a misunderstanding. I'm a married man." Qi Yuan sat inside the apartment before explaining the purpose of his visit. "I came here for a drop of your blood." "First blood?" Wu Qi gasped, not having heard Qi Yuan clearly. If it had been when they first met on the cruise ship, Wu Qi might have hesitated slightly before willingly giving herself to him to cling to his coattails. Now, she wouldn't dare dream of it. "Clean your ears out. It's a *drop* of blood. "Remember when I first rode in your car? We agreed that you'd save your blood for me." Qi Yuan needed a drop of Wu Qi's blood as a medium to house the Divine Infants. Only then did Wu Qi hear him clearly. With the misunderstanding cleared up, she felt so thoroughly embarrassed she could have curled her toes through the floorboards. "Mr. Qi, please take it." Wu Qi extended her finger. In truth, she was curious about what Qi Yuan wanted with a drop of her blood. However, since she had already placed her bets on Qi Yuan, she would comply regardless. Extending her fair, slender finger, she saw a red glint flash through Qi Yuan's eyes. A faint, hairline incision appeared on her fingertip, and a drop of blood rolled off, landing squarely in Qi Yuan's palm. It was as though Qi Yuan's palm had an opening. The drop of blood seeped straight into it. At that moment, Qi Yuan closed his eyes. He was sensing which Divine Infants shared an affinity with Wu Qi. After about a dozen breaths, Qi Yuan opened his eyes. Wu Qi was bewildered, standing quietly to the side. "Didn't I say last time that I'd give you a grandmother? "Just as well, this time I'll give you... five grandmothers directly." "Huh?" Wu Qi blinked, completely baffled. "They are the Four Heavenly Kings: Heavenly King Chiguo, Heavenly King Zengzhang, Heavenly King Guangmu, and Heavenly King Duowen. "And another one is Yueyao. To think these underdeveloped twins would actually be separated," Qi Yuan muttered. The Four Heavenly Kings were the earliest combat strength he had back in Qingshui Village; Heavenly King Chiguo was Wang Wenqi, the granddaughter of Venerable Tianbao. Yueyao was one of the twin sister deities Qi Yuan had encountered in the Ancient Clan's Ancestral Land. The elder sister was aloof, while the younger sister was rather carefree. This time, the younger sister hadn't stayed with her elder sister, which surprised Qi Yuan quite a bit. Still, he was also somewhat astonished inwardly. Wu Qi looked to be only around one point seven meters tall, yet her blood was remarkably potent, capable of withstanding five grandmothers at once. "Who are they...?" Wu Qi asked, confused and uncomprehending. "They are old acquaintances of mine, and could also be considered my subjects..." Qi Yuan explained. Wu Qi's heart tightened. They were actually Mr. Qi's old acquaintances? She was still puzzled. Could they be something like remnant souls from the cultivation world? "They are also my Divine Infants. Having fallen in battle in the past, they are now dormant, so they will reside within your body. "They can also guide your cultivation and help you grow stronger," Qi Yuan said softly. There was no need to hide any of this. "Ah..." Wu Qi's heart gave a violent leap. Because she had heard the words "Divine Infant." Could it be that all those acquaintances of Mr. Qi were Divine Infants! Those were Divine Infant cultivators! Wu Qi today was no longer a complete novice. With the Three Realms descending upon Arch Star and the revival of the immortal path, she had gained some understanding of cultivation realms. Divine Infant cultivators were hailed as deities. Just like the demonic cultivator who had wielded the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and effortlessly slaughtered an entire city alone— If the Eye of the Sky hadn't been activated, who could have stopped him? Such terrifying powerhouses were majestic as gods and served as patriarchs of entire sects. Even the patriarchs of the Seven Martial Star families had to treat Divine Infant ancestors with utmost deference. Mr. Qi's acquaintances were Divine Infants, so didn't that mean he... was also a Divine Infant, or perhaps even higher? "Don't worry. Aside from guiding you, they won't harm you. As for the price you pay, it's just that drop of blood." Qi Yuan waved his hand. From his palm, a drop of blood welled up. This drop was Wu Qi's blood, but it was now imbued with five Divine Infants. However, ordinary people could never detect anything unusual about it. "This is the blood you just gave me. Swallow it, and they will take up residence in your divine soul. "As your divine soul grows stronger, they will gradually awaken. "Alright, now that I'm done here, I have to go." Qi Yuan was very busy. He still had more than four thousand Divine Infants in his body. He needed to find some grandsons and granddaughters for these Divine Infants. "Don't worry, Mr. Qi! I'll take care of them just like my own grandmothers!" Wu Qi answered excitedly. With the guidance of five Divine Infants, what did the Soul Fiend Sect amount to? Not a damn thing! Just an Origin Core ancestor, that was all. "Mmh, alright. When they wake up, I'll help ask if they're willing to take you as a granddaughter. Bye." Qi Yuan watched Wu Qi swallow the drop of blood, and in that very moment, his figure vanished into thin air. Inside the apartment, Wu Qi stood dumbfounded in place. After several dozen breaths, she sat down on the sofa, her face erupting in wild delight. About two hours later, having received cultivation techniques, she felt completely refreshed and clear-headed. During this time, she had closed her eyes to rest her mind as fragmented streams of information flooded into her head. It was an extraordinarily profound divine cultivation art. Now, she was finally certain that none of this was a dream—it was reality. Five grandmothers. Five... Divine Infants. She zoned out on the sofa for a while, then dialed a number. "Sister Liu, I just acknowledged five grandmothers." "Huh?" ... "This won't do. I have too many Divine Infants." Inside the room, Qi Yuan had a look of deep worry on his face. Over a hundred Divine Infants had been sent to the Origin Land, several to Yaji and his sister, and several here to Wu Qi. Yet there were still plenty left. "How about... a global recruitment drive?" Ning Tao was eating cake, her tender white fingers smeared with cream. She extended her delicate tongue to lick them clean while offering Qi Yuan a suggestion. "What you say... makes sense." Qi Yuan nodded. Over four thousand Divine Infants really were a bit much. The potential of the Origin Land hadn't been fully tapped yet, but to dig deeper required completing new quests. When a new quest would appear, Qi Yuan had no idea. Therefore, for now, he ought to set his sights on Arch Star. Arch Star had a vast population; perhaps there were many more people with special talents like Yaji and Wu Qi. "Sigh, with the development of modern civilization, familial affection between people has grown colder and colder. "It seems I must deliver some grandfathers and grandmothers to the people of Arch Star so they can feel the warm embrace of family love." Having made up his mind, Qi Yuan already had a plan in place. "Ning Tao, once you finish the cake, take me to the Imperial Capital. I want to meet with the Seventh Prince." "Okay." Ning Tao nodded briskly. "Eat slowly, don't choke. There's no rush." Looking at Ning Tao, Qi Yuan revealed a doting expression. ... Inside the royal palace. The Seventh Prince wore royal attire. Standing tall and straight, he appeared refined and courteous. Currently standing before him was a long-bearded elder. This long-bearded elder hailed from the Tianyuan Sect and was an elder of that sect. The Tianyuan Sect came from the Fire Spirit Realm and was a cut above both the Battle God Sect and the Xuantian Sect. It was the true Hegemon of the Fire Spirit Realm. Rumor had it that when the sect's founding ancestor was young, he had stumbled upon a miraculous stone. This miraculous stone could steer one toward good fortune and away from disaster, foreseeing impending blessings and calamities. Relying on this stone, the founding ancestor of the Tianyuan Sect had sailed smoothly through the cultivation world, ultimately stepping into the Yin God realm and ascending to the Upper Realm. The stone could not be taken to the Upper Realm, so it remained behind with the Tianyuan Sect. This time, when the passage between the Fire Spirit Realm and Arch Star opened, the stone had played a tremendous role. What the Tianyuan Sect excelled at most was deducing heavenly secrets. "Seventh Prince, the Tianyuan Sect wishes to construct the Star-Shifting Tianyuan Array, and we bear absolutely no malicious intent," the Tianyuan Sect elder said with a hint of pleading in his tone. "Elder Wang, I believe in the Tianyuan Sect's good intentions. "However, building the Star-Shifting Tianyuan Array across the globe... this is not something our royal family can decide on our own. "The Seven Martial Star families are hardly monolithic either, so we cannot agree to such a request. "Not to mention, Qinyuan and the Guwu Kingdom have always been at each other's throats. Even if we agreed, they would certainly refuse. "Conversely, if they agreed, we would object." The Seventh Prince's words were in truth an uncompromising refusal. After all, establishing the Star-Shifting Tianyuan Array all over the globe was no different from establishing military bases in every country. Although the Tianyuan Sect claimed the array was solely for observing heavenly secrets and deducing stellar patterns, how could they possibly believe that? What if the grand array formed something that allowed them to usurp the land like a cuckoo seizing the nest? Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixiang looked dejected. "Seventh Prince, my Tianyuan Sect truly harbors no selfish motives in this. "It is because our sect's supreme treasure, the Tianyuan Stone, deduced from heavenly secrets that within a thousand years, a tremendous upheaval is likely to occur in this world, one that might even embroil the Fire Spirit Realm. "That is why we are making early preparations to establish this grand array to face the Great Tribulation!" Wang Kaixiang spoke with heartfelt sincerity. What he said had indeed been divined by the Tianyuan Stone. That was why he was so anxious to construct the Star-Shifting Tianyuan Array to contend with the crisis. However, the strongest powers on Arch Star were Qinyuan Kingdom and Guwu Kingdom; without persuading both nations, it could never be built. "A thousand years from now is far too distant." The Seventh Prince shook his head, then added apologetically, "Elder Wang, my apologies." Just then, a man in uniform rushed in abruptly. Seeing him, the Seventh Prince's expression changed slightly, and upon hearing what the man had to report, he became visibly excited. "Mr. Qi is here? Why didn't you escort him straight in? "No, I'll go receive him personally—to the main hall!" Having spoken, the Seventh Prince seemed to forget all about Wang Kaixiang in his haste, striding hurriedly toward the outside of the hall. Inside the hall, Wang Kaixiang watched this unfold with a deeply suspicious expression. *Mr. Qi? An immortal cultivator?* He had met the Seventh Prince numerous times. The prince had always treated cultivators with respect, but losing his composure to such an extent was unprecedented. Furthermore, the Seventh Prince only received him in the side hall. Negotiations between the Ten Great Divine Infants and the heads of the Seven Martial Star families took place in the main hall. A single Divine Infant ancestor coming to the royal palace didn't even have the qualification to be received in the main hall. Yet this Mr. Qi... was actually going to be received in the main hall. *Is there a Divine Infant ancestor surnamed Qi in our Three Realms?* Wang Kaixiang was thoroughly bewildered. He decided not to leave just yet. He would steal a glance later to see what kind of extraordinary figure this so-called Mr. Qi truly was. Meanwhile, outside the palace's main hall, the Seventh Prince hurried over at a jog, his eyes glowing with pleasant surprise. "Mr. Qi, sorry to keep you waiting!" Upon seeing Qi Yuan, he looked as though he were beholding a god. In particular, the peerless beauty Qi Yuan had his arm around was even more terrifying. Most importantly, he had learned that Qi Yuan had married two wives. His admiration for Qi Yuan grew even deeper. A terrifying powerhouse like Ning Tao, who could effortlessly obliterate the Eye of the Sky, was content to wait by Qi Yuan's side. "It's fine. I came here because I need your help with something," Qi Yuan directly stated his purpose. "Oh? Please speak, Mr. Qi! The royal family is your most loyal servant, ever at your service!" the Seventh Prince said earnestly. "I want to bring more love to this world." "Huh?" "I want to give some people in this world grandfathers and grandmothers."
