Seeing Wei Chen's impatience, the Dark Mage earnestly advised, "Child, our Dark Magic Family has always been few in number. As your grandfather, I hope you can marry soon and help our family grow. There’s nothing wrong with that."
"Though I have relied on Star Power Physical Deification and, if all goes well, I might gain eternal life, I still wish to see our Dark Magic Family flourish. You are the hope of our family. Given the current situation, you are already unstoppable. Therefore, it should be your responsibility to take some time to help our family expand. Besides, as a young man full of vigor, don’t you wish to have a harem around you?"
The Dark Mage scrutinized Wei Chen for a moment, a strange glint appearing in his eyes as he asked, "Child, is there... some issue in that regard?"
Uh...
Wei Chen was at a loss for words.
He looked at the Dark Mage with frustration and said, "Grandfather, I'm perfectly fine; there are no issues at all."
"Then that's settled. Since there are no problems, just do as I say: marry early and have children soon," the Dark Mage insisted.
Wei Chen replied, "Grandfather, marriage and having children aren't necessarily linked. For me, marriage is just a ceremony; I don't care about it. If having offspring were that simple, Yan Qiqi would have been pregnant by now."
Wei Chen looked at the Dark Mage again and added, "Grandfather, Qiqi and I have been trying hard, but there’s been no progress. The matter of having children is unpredictable; it's a punishment of fate that no one can control."
After pondering for a while, the Dark Mage sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Child, do as you see fit. In any case, I hope to see our Dark Magic Family thrive; that is my greatest wish."
Hearing the Dark Mage's words, Wei Chen fell into thought for a moment before a strange smile appeared on his face.
He stared at the Dark Mage with a playful grin and said, "Grandfather, now that you’ve achieved Star Power Physical Deification and your body has rejuvenated quite a bit—and considering you’re already strong—there shouldn’t be any issues on that front, right?"
The Dark Mage's old face flushed red with anger as he retorted, "What do you mean by that?"
"Grandfather," Wei Chen continued with a mischievous smile, "what I mean is that you could also contribute to expanding our Dark Magic Family! I wouldn’t mind having a few babies who are much older than me; I would respectfully call them uncles."
Wei Chen's words were undeniably cheeky; his face was filled with a mischievous grin that left the Dark Mage feeling exasperated.
Dark Mage was almost drunk, wondering what kind of magic this was.
"Child, don't be ridiculous. At my age, where would I find the energy for that?" Dark Mage said helplessly.
Wei Chen laughed, "Grandfather, as long as you want it, it can happen. It's not a big deal. If we want to expand the Dark Magic Family, you should put in the effort yourself. It’s much better than me trying hard. After all, Star Power Physical Deification doesn’t really affect the ability to have offspring. For me, because my power is too strong and I am a god of the Endless Divine Realm, punishment will definitely find me, making it very difficult to have descendants. But you are different. In my opinion, the responsibility of expanding our Dark Magic Family is something I cannot bear; it’s better if you take it on yourself."
Hearing Wei Chen's words, Dark Mage showed an angry expression and said, "Child, such matters can be joked about, but this is a one-time thing. If word gets out, my lifetime reputation will be completely ruined."
"Grandfather, this has nothing to do with your reputation. If you could remarry and have children, believe me, the entire magic realm would rejoice for you," Wei Chen replied lightly.
Although he spoke with a hint of jest, Wei Chen had already taken this matter to heart. As long as there was a suitable person, why not? He himself had truly given up hope.
Wei Chen deeply understood that for him to have descendants was incredibly difficult. The stronger one’s power and the more potent one’s bloodline, the harder it became to produce offspring. In the vastness of the Dao, no one knew what it was exactly, but it truly existed and constrained certain things in the shadows.
If Wei Chen and Yan Qiqi could easily have children, the world would be thrown into chaos. One could only imagine how powerful their offspring would be, combining both Wei Chen's and Yan Qiqi's bloodlines.
Such an existence would be nearly unparalleled; from birth, they would be destined to become a Peak Expert. How could that be so easy?
If it were easier for Supreme Beings to endlessly produce offspring, then what chance would others have? The best resources had long been monopolized by those Supreme Being families.
Wei Chen understood this well; thus he didn’t concern himself much with having children and decided to take things one step at a time and let nature take its course. He and Yan Qiqi were already true partners; logically speaking, two incredibly healthy individuals should have had children by now. Unfortunately, Yan Qiqi showed no response at all, leading Wei Chen to abandon hope.
He even felt that as his strength continued to grow stronger, it might become impossible for him to have descendants in this lifetime.
This was a tragedy.
As a powerful being, perhaps one must endure such tragic consequences.
The vastness of the Dao could not be defied; Wei Chen could not go against it.
But sometimes he couldn't help but wonder, if my fate is determined by me, perhaps when I become powerful enough, I can break free from that shackles and defy destiny, obtaining whatever I desire?
For now, Wei Chen simply didn't want to hear Dark Mage constantly bringing up these matters to bother him. He decided to pass the responsibility of expanding the Dark Magic Family onto Dark Mage himself, letting him deal with the headache while Wei Chen could free himself from it.
This thought of his had some effect; Dark Mage indeed stopped relying on him. However, his words also awakened something in Dark Mage...
Could it really be possible to remarry and have children again?
The memory of his long-lost wife had already faded into the dust of recollection. What was so significant about remarrying?
Once this idea took root in Dark Mage's mind, it stirred up a storm within him, making it hard for him to calm down.
The atmosphere fell into a silence as Wei Chen and Dark Mage each pondered their own thoughts.
Wei Chen was thinking about how to persuade Dark Mage to remarry and have children; Dark Mage was considering that since Wei Chen was unreliable, he might as well contribute to the Dark Magic Family himself, but he feared what others might say...
After a long while, Dark Mage lifted his head and looked seriously at Wei Chen. "Child, what do you think would happen in the Demon Realm if grandfather really remarried and had children?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen's heart leaped with joy. As long as Dark Mage had this thought, that would be wonderful.
"Grandfather, don't worry. The Demon Realm is an open place; no one will say anything about it. Plus, with our strength and status, who could possibly object? I can guarantee you that the entire Demon Realm, along with the Nine Immortal Realm and Hua Xia World, will sincerely bless you," Wei Chen said cheerfully.
Dark Mage pondered for a moment and asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's true! It's indeed very difficult for me to contribute to the expansion of the Dark Magic Family; no matter how hard I try, it's futile and will only become more challenging. But for you, grandfather, there’s a great opportunity. If you give me ten or eight uncles, I would be absolutely delighted, and the entire Demon Realm would rejoice for you," Wei Chen replied.
Dark Mage's thoughts began to flourish. Since Wei Chen felt this way, what else was there to worry about?
For the sake of the Dark Magic Family's legacy, he decided to go all out; he wouldn't care about his old face anymore—let others say what they wanted.
Dark Mage clenched his fist tightly and said, "Child, you have succeeded. Grandfather has been bewitched by you. Fine, I won't rely on you for this matter anymore. I will go all out, sacrificing my face for the sake of the Dark Magic Family's legacy."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen felt a mix of surprise and fear. Was it really that easy? Had he truly been successfully manipulated?
This was simply outrageous!
"Grandfather, go ahead and do what you need to do. I support you a thousand percent," Wei Chen replied.
No matter what, as long as he could escape Dark Mage's insistence on him having children, he would be fine with anything. However, deep down, Wei Chen felt a strange unease. If Dark Mage really married some woman, how would he address her?
Grandmother?
Just thinking about it made him cringe.
If Dark Mage actually had a bunch of babies, wouldn't that make Wei Chen call her aunt?
The thought was utterly distressing.
Dark Mage said solemnly, "Child, it's settled then. If any troubles arise later, you'll help your grandfather handle them."
"Don't worry, Grandfather. As long as I'm here, there won't be any issues," Wei Chen assured him.
Black Demon Clan: "Alright, you can go now. Focus on your own matters. For the sake of the Dark Magic Family's legacy, grandfather is going all in and will start preparing."
"Okay." Wei Chen smiled brightly and nodded goodbye.
...
Wei Chen's feelings were extremely complicated; he didn't appear nearly as calm in front of Dark Mage as he felt inside.
Facing the impending rebirth of the Dark Mage, Wei Chen truly did not know what to think.
However, since it was he who had guided this transformation, no matter what the Dark Mage did, he had to support him...
He had repeatedly assured the Dark Mage that he would help him no matter what. He also believed that within the Demon Realm, as long as he was present, no one would dare to act against them.
In Hua Xia World, it was extremely quiet. The Demon Realm Army and the powerful beings from the Nine Immortal Realm were stationed in various locations, waiting calmly. The people of Hua Xia World had resigned themselves to their fate; regardless of how things turned out, their survival was the most basic requirement. At such a time, staying alive was the most important thing.
Wei Chen found Emperor Dayu and promised him the independent status of Hua Xia World. The three spatial planes—Demon Realm, Hua Xia World, and Nine Immortal Realm—were all equal; none could swallow up the others. Emperor Dayu quickly spread Wei Chen's decree, which completely reassured the people of Hua Xia World.
Yet they felt some confusion; given the circumstances, why was there still no movement?
Finally, after more than three months of silence, everyone in Hua Xia World suddenly sensed an incredibly powerful aura emanating from above. In an instant, it swept across all of Hua Xia!
This aura was majestic and overwhelming, infused with a strong scent of Demon Lotus, reminiscent of the presence of the Demon Lotus Emperor from years past!
The aura did not pose any threat to anyone, but deep down, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of submission.
Even Emperor Dayu was profoundly shaken by this aura; he realized that although it wasn't overwhelmingly strong, its imposing nature made him feel compelled to submit, leaving no room for resistance in his heart!
Everyone looked up at the sky above, where a gigantic phantom of the Demon Lotus Emperor appeared in the celestial dome, flickering in and out of visibility...
