The System Granted Me Invincibility, Setting Me on the Path to Becoming the Heavenly Emperor

177: The fleeting years of life in this world (a long chapter of four thousand characters)During these five thousand years, Qin Gelan had been continuously researching the heavenly secret astrolabe.

The heavenly secret astrolabe is said to be the materialization of Karma, containing a profound and unpredictable power of causality.

Qin Gelan’s current strength had reached such heights that he could now touch upon Karma.

An Incarnation manifested.

”Success!”

A look of joy appeared on Qin Gelan’s face as he gazed at this Incarnation.

It was formed by condensing the power of Karma from within the heavenly secret astrolabe.

It was also Qin Gelan’s Karma Incarnation.

”With this Karma Incarnation, I have now completely mastered all nine Eternal Daos.”

With a single thought from Qin Gelan, the other eight Eternal Daos manifested.

Previously, Qin Gelan had only possessed four Eternal Daos: Time, Space, Destruction, and Reincarnation.

After his destiny value was promoted to the Advanced level, besides the reward of Flawless Supreme Being cultivation, he also received four more Eternal Daos.

The four Daos of Light, Darkness, Nothingness, and Creation further deepened Qin Gelan’s Dao methods.

Qin Gelan looked at this Universe, a divine light flickering in his eyes.

From afar, Qin Qinglin flew over. Upon seeing Qin Gelan, he bowed respectfully, ”Father, have you finished your secluded cultivation?”

A look of joy appeared on Qin Qinglin’s face.

Qin Gelan nodded, looking at Qin Qinglin with a satisfied smile. ”Not bad, you’ve already reached the Immortal Emperor Realm.”

Qin Gelan had always been very satisfied with Qin Qinglin, who had comprehended Vast Righteous Qi at such a young age.

”Hmm? Where are the others?”

Qin Gelan suddenly asked.

Qin Qinglin gave a bitter laugh and replied, ”Xiao Xiao ran off to the Heavenly Demon Territory and bullies those little demons every day, practically becoming a local tyrant.”

”As for Xuanzhi... he is traveling everywhere, challenging the outstanding heroes of his generation.”

”As for Yuxi, Mother Qingcheng is watching over her cultivation, so she is not allowed to go out.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Gelan shook his head, somewhat helpless.

The people Qin Qinglin mentioned were all Qin Gelan’s children. During these five thousand years, Qin Gelan’s relationships with those around him had also progressed to that step.

With the encouragement and facilitation from Linglong Island and the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, Yu Linglong and Xue Qingcheng also formed a wonderful union with Qin Gelan.

As for Luo Liuli, it was even more natural, and with the tacit approval of Yu Qingnuo and Qi Xuanxuan, she also ended up with Qin Gelan.

During these five thousand years, Yu Linglong also gave birth to a daughter for Qin Gelan, Qin Xiaoxiao.

As the daughter of the Human Emperor and the princess of the Heavenly Palace, Qin Xiaoxiao had been doted on since childhood. Wherever she went, waves were made, clearly taking on the appearance of a little devil girl.

”Alright then, I’ll go bring that girl Xiao Xiao back first.”

After saying this, Qin Gelan disappeared from the spot.

In the Heavenly Demon Territory, within a divine mountain.

A group of great demons surrounded a playful and beautiful young girl. Though young, the girl possessed a face that could charm all living beings.

”Big Sis, we’ve investigated. That Evil Soul was once an Evil Emperor.”

A great demon with a burly build reported to Qin Xiaoxiao.

”Excellent! This Young Miss will personally slay the Evil Emperor’s soul!”

A flicker of excitement appeared in Qin Xiaoxiao’s eyes.

”Big Sis is mighty!”

”Big Sis is domineering!”

”Big Sis...”

The other great demons cheered even louder. These great demons were all those Qin Xiaoxiao had subdued over the years, of course, through the use of her fists.

Hidden in the shadows, a Supreme Being twitched at the corner of his mouth. This little lady truly had the fearlessness of a newborn calf.

Even if the Evil Emperor was only an Evil Soul left, it was not something an Immortal Emperor could touch.

But then, remembering that this little lady was the princess of the Heavenly Palace, they weren’t so worried.

They didn’t believe the Heavenly Palace princess would venture out without a guardian secretly following her.

Sure enough, Jiu Yin, hidden in the shadows, wore a bitter smile upon hearing Qin Xiaoxiao’s words.

Jiu Yin had watched Qin Xiaoxiao grow up since childhood and had naturally become her guardian.

Just as Qin Xiaoxiao, with a wide grin and hands on her hips, was about to set off, Jiu Yin appeared.

When the demons felt Jiu Yin’s aura, they immediately prostrated on the ground, trembling, not daring to get up.

”Aunt Jiu!”

Qin Xiaoxiao exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

”Xiao Xiao.”

Another voice sounded. Qin Gelan appeared, looking at Qin Xiaoxiao with a stern gaze.

The Human Emperor!

The Supreme Beings hidden in the shadows were shocked in their hearts. This was their first time seeing the Human Emperor. To them, this was a legendary Supreme powerhouse.

”Dad!”

Qin Xiaoxiao rushed towards Qin Gelan and directly hugged his arm.

Qin Gelan’s serious expression indeed didn’t last long. He reached out and knocked on Qin Xiaoxiao’s head, sighing helplessly, ”You’ve got quite the guts, huh? Daring to mess with an Evil Emperor?”

”Isn’t Aunt Jiu here...”

Qin Xiaoxiao put on a cheeky smile, only shrinking her neck when Qin Gelan glared at her.

With her head lowered, Qin Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around slyly, but none of this escaped Qin Gelan’s notice.

”Don’t you get any funny ideas. Come back with me.”

Without another word, Qin Gelan grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao by the scruff and whisked her back to the Heavenly Palace.

After returning to the Heavenly Palace, Qin Xiaoxiao went straight to find Qin Qinglin and, without a word, started a fight.

”Was it you who told Dad I was in the Heavenly Demon Territory?” Qin Xiaoxiao wielded a sword of ultimate dao immortal artifact grade, wildly slashing at Qin Qinglin.

Qin Qinglin dodged while trying to explain, his face full of helplessness, ”Little sister, with Dad’s cultivation level, does he really need me to tell him where you are?”

...After bringing Qin Xiaoxiao back to the Heavenly Palace, Qin Gelan went to the Ice and Snow Divine Palace.

Qin Gelan sat in a courtyard. Xue Qingcheng poured tea for him, while Qin Yuxi stood to the side.

Seeing Qin Gelan arrive, Qin Yuxi’s eyes lit up with joy, looking at him with a pitiful expression.

Qin Gelan secretly gave Qin Yuxi a reassuring look.

Xue Qingcheng saw all of this but said nothing.

”Ahem... Qingcheng, I think relentless cultivation isn’t necessarily good for Yuxi,” Qin Gelan said carefully after some thought.

Xue Qingcheng’s cool gaze rested on Qin Gelan.

”What I mean is, Yuxi should also have her own path to walk. You’re always watching over her, which actually puts invisible shackles on her.”

Qin Gelan took Xue Qingcheng’s hand, causing her face to instantly flush red.

Even though so many years had passed and she had borne Qin Gelan a daughter, she still felt somewhat shy.

”I know. This girl just wants to go out, and you’re pleading for her,” Xue Qingcheng said, regaining her usual cool composure. She turned to look at Qin Yuxi. ”Since your father has spoken, it’s fine for you to go out and travel for a while.”

Qin Yuxi’s face was instantly filled with excitement. She looked at Qin Gelan, thinking to herself, ’As expected of Dad, convincing Mom with just a few words.’

After sending Qin Yuxi away, Xue Qingcheng’s voice carried a hint of resentment. ”Do you know how many years it’s been since you last came to see me?”

Qin Gelan inwardly sighed and said with a bitter smile, ”I know. That’s why I’ve come this time to take you back to the Heavenly Palace.”

Qin Gelan’s expression turned serious, and he added, his voice full of domineering authority, ”This time, whether you agree or not, you must come with me.”

”You...”

”Hmph!”

Xue Qingcheng turned her head away, her cheeks still slightly flushed... Another three thousand years passed.

During this period, a major event occurred.

The Literary Sage’s great limit was approaching; he had reached the end of his life.

The Literary Sage remained an Extreme Dao Supreme Being. Although his cultivation had progressed further in recent years with the help of the Flawless Dao Proving Method,

he still had not attained the Dao to become a Flawless Supreme Being.

Yin Shengge was even more worried. If not for Qin Gelan secretly using his Chaos Blood to extend the Literary Sage’s life over the years, the Sage would have already passed away.

If he could not attain the Dao to become a Flawless Supreme Being, even with Qin Gelan’s Chaos Blood, the Literary Sage would not last much longer.

The Literary Sage’s time spent trying to attain the Dao was too long, nearly one hundred thousand years.

One hundred thousand years is the limit for an Extreme Dao Supreme Being.

It can be said that the Literary Sage had experienced the era of Qing Luo’s previous life, that is, the Supreme Clear Heavenly Venerate.

Qin Gelan held Yin Shengge in his arms, comforting her, ”Have faith in Senior Literary Sage. He will certainly attain the Dao.”

Yin Shengge, her face full of worry, nodded.

Over the years, Qin Qinglin had been accompanying the Literary Sage at Book Mountain.

For Qin Qinglin, the bond with the Literary Sage ran even deeper than his bond with Qin Gelan.

Section 1: Qin Qinglin had been taught by the Literary Sage since birth. Now, as the Sage’s great limit approached, even his father, the Human Emperor, could only barely extend the Sage’s life.

Section 2: Qin Gelan returned to Book Mountain with his wife and child and met the Literary Sage.

Section 3: ”In my lifetime, I have witnessed the literary dao decline and then flourish to its current state. For me, isn’t this the very meaning of life?”

Section 4: ”You need not be sad. Who says the years are heartless? The years can take me, but they also gave me a splendid life. At this final moment, can I not see through it?”

Section 5: The Literary Sage was very carefree, as if his impending final limit was not worth mentioning.

Section 6: ”Senior Sage, I have a method that uses the power of time to Seal you, preserving your Lifespan in its current state, awaiting the future,” Qin Gelan said.

Section 7: ”Although this method is feasible, what meaning is there in a slumber of unknown duration?” Seeing everyone’s sorrow, the Sage laughed. ”All men must die. Heaven gave me these hundred thousand years; I am already satisfied.”

Section 8: ”A hundred thousand years is no different from an ordinary person’s hundred years; it’s just a longer Lifespan. The joys and sorrows of my life are the same as theirs.”

Section 9: At this moment, Qin Gelan seemed to see the state of mind of the Holy Emperor and the Heavenly King when their consciousness returned long ago—a kind of profound loneliness.

Section 10: Perhaps, in the next hundred thousand years, Yin Shengge, Yu Linglong, and Xue Qingcheng would all experience this step.

Section 11: Unless one Attains the Dao and becomes a Flawless Supreme Being, merging body and Dao, existing alongside the Great Dao, one would inevitably experience this step.

Section 12: The Literary Sage had lived through the era of declining dharma after the time of the Supreme Clear Heavenly Venerate and, in the end, experienced and witnessed the grandest golden age. Although his life was nearing its end, he had no regrets.

Section 13: In the end, Qin Gelan took Yin Shengge and Qin Qinglin to a grave.

Section 14: Their first meeting with the great master of the literary dao at Osmanthus Tower, where the two conversed joyfully, seemed as vivid as if it were yesterday.

Section 15: Qin Gelan sighed sadly. Qin Qinglin had not experienced it, but he understood his father and mother’s state of mind at this moment.

Section 16: Qin Qinglin quietly withdrew, leaving the place to the two of them.

Section 17: ”Husband, the Evil Ancestor has likely recovered over these years,” Yin Shengge suddenly spoke.

Section 18: Qin Gelan nodded and said, ”With my current cultivation, the Evil Ancestor is no longer my greatest opponent.”

Section 19: Yin Shengge understood that Qin Gelan was playing a game against an unknown opponent.

Section 20: Qin Gelan wanted to lure out that Heavenly Master; the Evil Ancestor was merely bait left by Qin Gelan.

Section 21: Qin Gelan returned to the Heavenly Palace.

Section 22: Another two thousand years passed.

Section 23: During these two thousand years, Qin Gelan did not Cultivate. Cultivation held no more meaning for him.

Section 24: Ten thousand years had passed since the establishment of the Heavenly Realm.

Section 25: In terms of cultivation, the current Qin Gelan was no weaker than the Imperial Venerable and the Heavenly Emperor.

Section 26: From the traces left by the Imperial Venerable and the Heavenly Emperor in the Universe’s meridians, he learned that they were still alive.

Section 27: They were both outside the Virgo Constellation, playing a game against even stronger opponents.

Section 28: The Heavenly Emperor’s apparent death long ago was a feint, meant to deceive powerful beings from other Universes.

Section 29: This allowed them to hide in the shadows, becoming variables; they were laying out a grand scheme.

Section 30: And Qin Gelan was the one for the final act.

Section 31: On this day, a cry came from the sky.

Section 32: Along with this cry, auspicious colors descended from the heavens, and the Great Dao converged towards the Heavenly Palace.

Section 33: All sorts of extraordinary phenomena appeared: Auspicious Beasts cleared the path, Immortals manifested.

Section 34: A girl, as delicate as carved jade, was born. This was the daughter the Female Emperor had borne for Qin Gelan.

Section 35: The girl’s birth attracted the attention of countless people. Her large, pitch-black eyes seemed to gather the finest essence of heaven and earth.

Section 36: The myriad Daos of heaven and earth cheered for her birth, surging towards her.

Section 37: Ye Qingrou held the little girl, a trace of maternal affection appearing on her face.

Section 38: ”The commotion caused by this little one’s birth is even greater than when Qinglin, Xiao Xiao, Xuanzhi, and Yuxi were born,” Ye Qingrou remarked, looking at the little girl.

Section 39: Finally, Qin Gelan named his newborn daughter Qin Xianer.

Section 40: ”Xianer is born close to immortality; her future achievements are limitless. Moreover, her Physique encompasses all things; it’s truly astonishing.”

Section 41: Qing Luo looked at Qin Xianer but could not discern her Physique.

Section 42: Xianer’s birth led to a grand month-long feast in the Heavenly Palace to celebrate. Even Qin Xuanzhi, who was out training, returned.

Section 43: From this moment on, the Heavenly Realm was opened. Except for the Central Heavenly Domain and the Heavenly Demon Territory, the Tianqi Domain and the other ninety domains were open; survival of the fittest applied.

Section 44: Powerful experts from the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms headed towards the Central Heavenly Domain one after another.

Section 45: Upon arriving in the Heavenly Realm, their first task was to pay respects to the Human Emperor and offer congratulations for his young daughter, presenting gifts.

Section 46: The Supreme Beings who came to offer congratulations sighed with admiration, envious of such talent.

Section 47: Of course, only Extreme Dao Supreme Beings had the qualification to have an audience with the Human Emperor; ordinary Supreme Beings were not permitted to enter the Heavenly Palace.

Section 48: ”For Qinglin, Xiao Xiao, Yuxi, and Xuanzhi, I wasn’t by their side during their childhoods,” Qin Gelan said, looking at the Female Emperor. ”I don’t want to miss Xianer’s childhood. I will teach her personally.”

Section 49: In the past, due to his Karma Incarnation, Qin Gelan was often in seclusion, so he did not witness the growth of his children.

Section 50: Although Qin Xiaoxiao had Jiu Yin protecting her in secret, Qin Qinglin had Chaos by his side, and Qin Yuxi stayed close to Xue Qingcheng.

Section 51: But Qin Gelan always felt a sense of debt. Even when Qin Xuanzhi went out to train, it was the Sword Servant who followed him.

Section 52: Luo Liuli had gotten angry about this many times, even confronting Qin Gelan, but Qin Xuanzhi resolutely left the Heavenly Palace to train in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Section 53: The Female Emperor held Xianer, a look of maternal affection in her eyes. She smiled at Qin Gelan, a sight as beautiful as the finest scenery in the world.

Section 54: Twenty years passed. Under the guidance of Qin Gelan and the Female Emperor, Qin Xianer learned everything quickly. She was precocious, her talent peerless throughout history.

Section 55: From this day on, a new legend rose, reminiscent of the Human Emperor in his youth, sweeping all before her, with none able to contend.

Section 56: Her radiance illuminated eternity; she would become another Female Emperor in the future.

Section 57: She continuously broke the records of her predecessors, reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm by the age of twenty.

Section 58: After turning twenty, Qin Xianer began her campaign. She stepped into the Evil Clan Universe, a very bold move.

Section 59: She was alone, not even needing a guardian to follow her.

Section 60: ”Uncle Long, you don’t need to follow me anymore. Go back.”

Section 61: Having said that, Qin Xianer used a Talisman given by Qin Gelan to open a spatial passage and stepped into the Evil Clan Universe.

Section 62: The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon was still somewhat uneasy and secretly followed her.

Section 63: The Evil God sensed the arrival of the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon and was about to suppress and kill it, but was stopped by the Evil Ancestor.

Section 64: Qin Gelan’s eyes opened and closed slightly; he paid it no mind.

Section 65: Qin Xianer arrived in the Evil Clan Universe. She intended to emulate her father, to kill until the Evil Clan could not lift its head.

Section 66: (Writing here, everyone should understand we are nearing the end. Compared to others, this book’s word count is quite short. Now is the time to give everyone an explanation, and to give the final outcomes for some characters.)

Section 67: (Those who have read this far undoubtedly recognize my work. Here, I thank you all, friends. During this time, I have been reading your comments seriously and have replied to some.)

Section 68: (Some of you have criticized me, and there have been dissatisfactions. Actually, I myself have discovered some ’poison points.’ It is through your pointing them out that I can improve. I am very grateful to everyone. This book may not have met many people’s expectations. I will correct the problems you pointed out one by one. Mistakes lead to progress, right?)

Section 69: (Recently, I’ve seen many people binge-read this book to this point, and there are friends urging for updates every day. Honestly, I’m truly moved! This is real love!)

Section 70: (I estimate there are still tens of thousands of words to finish, then I’ll start a new book around the middle of the month. I will improve upon the foundation of this book, avoiding certain poison points and contradictions. I will notify everyone about the new book when the time comes.)

Section 71: (Finally, I thank you all again, sincerely. I was in a car accident in June and started writing at home. Those who have supported me until now are true fans. At the end, I’d like to ask for a wave of your free gifts.)

Section 72: Thank you again~
