Chapter 1947: A Surprising Transformation
“Senior, do you know where Daolord Lu Ya is?” An Lin asked with a fake smile.
“Aiyah! You know it’s him?” The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure was quite surprised.
An Lin’s lips twitched upon seeing this.
He knew from a long time ago, but he had never gotten the chance to “thank” him in person.
The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure’s admission once again confirmed that Daolord Lu Ya was the perpetrator behind everything!
The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure suddenly adopted a profound expression. “He said that it’s not yet time for you to meet him. You two will meet when fate dictates that the time is right.”
An Lin gritted his teeth. So he was basically refusing to see An Lin!
“I am contacting the two of you to inform you of a very important matter; Ms. Xu Xiaolan, you already satisfy the criteria to transcend beyond heaven and earth and escape the representative of the Heavenly Dao. Would you like to do that?” the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure asked.
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
Xu Xiaolan could transcend beyond heaven and earth?
“If... I tranthend... can I thtill fight the Heavenly Godth?”
Little Xiaolan spoke with difficulty.
“Of course not. After transcending, you will no longer be a living being that belongs to this universe. You will stand above everyone and reside in a superior plane of existence. However, if you attack the Heavenly Gods, you will be struck by a backlash from the entire heaven and earth and that will instantly kill you!” The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure shook his head.
“That’s alright. Leave it to me to save the world. Xiaolan can just look on from outside.” An Lin held Little Xiaolan in his arms with a doting smile.
Little Xiaolan immediately shook her head upon hearing this. “No.”
An Lin faltered slightly upon hearing this before a gentle expression appeared on his face. “Be a good girl now. Transcend and explore the outside world. There’s no need to waste time with these Heavenly Gods...”
“No! I... I want to be wif you...” Little Xiaolan’s cheeks were flushed red from exertion as she forced her words out, “I’d wather die than leave you!”
An Lin fell silent upon hearing this.
The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure broke the silence. “Don’t jump to such quick conclusions, young lady. Transcending beyond this heaven and earth will reap benefits that you can’t imagine...”
“No!” Little Xiaolan refused in a firm voice.
The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure continued to try and persuade her, “Let me tell you about the benefits of transcendence first...”
“No no no!” Little Xiaolan’s head shook relentlessly from side to side.
An Lin’s heart melted, and he no longer tried to change Little Xiaolan’s mind.
He knew that even though Little Xiaolan was an infant, she was still the same old Xu Xiaolan, and when Xu Xiaolan made up her mind about something, no one could dissuade her.
“Alright then. If you do decide to change your mind, you can contact me using the Vermilion Bird Telecommunication Ball.” The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure heaved a resigned sigh.
Little Xiaolan pouted and turned her head to ignore the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure.
An Lin considered his next question for a moment before deciding to articulate it. “Senior, I’m sure that you know about the current threat the human race and even the entire Tai Chu Continent is facing. What are the attitudes of the Gods of Creation on this matter?”
There were many Gods of Creation, but very few of them had actually participated in this war, which made him quite curious about where they stood.
The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure chuckled. “The Gods of Creation in the Realm of Stars are definitely not going to do anything. As for the Gods of Creation on the Tai Chu Continent, Cyril, Chen Chen, and Nuwa will definitely participate in the war.
“Among the Daoist Trinity, I like to roam the worlds and won’t intervene. Lord Lao Zi may lend a hand, while Pangu has transcended beyond this universe a long time ago, and no one knows where he is... As for Daolord Lu Ya, I don’t know what he intends to do.”
An Lin fell silent upon hearing this.
He had thought that the human race had many hidden allies.
However, in reality, all of the Gods of Creation that were willing to stand with the human race were ones that were already known to An Lin.
Gods of Creation had the choice to transcend and escape the power of the Heavenly Gods, so they were far less inclined to participate in this war. After all, why would they risk their lives to save the human race when they could survive either way?
“Don’t be too pessimistic. Our human race still has a good chance of winning this war. At the very least, Daolord Lu Ya and I have faith in you.” The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure smiled.
“Senior, what do you see in me?” An Lin asked.
“You’re intelligent, brave, powerful, decisive; you possess freakish aptitude, limitless potential, incredible fortune, a brilliant temperament...” The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure rattled off a list of compliments.
An Lin smiled. “Even though none of these compliments mean anything, they’re still very pleasant to hear.”
Little Xiaolan rolled her eyes.
Mo Hai sighed. “Brother An Lin sure is honest.”
“You are an extraordinary man, Mr. An Lin. Let’s drink to our hearts’ content the next time I return to the Tai Chu Continent.” The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure chuckled.
“Sure! Remember to visit my Four Nine Immortal Sect.” An Lin smiled.
The two of them chatted for a while longer before ending the call.
An Lin thought about it for a moment before putting the Vermilion Bird Telecommunication Ball into Xu Xiaolan’s storage ring. There was no point in leaving this thing at the Vermilion Bird Palace since no one knew when they were going to return to the Vermilion Bird territory next.
After all of these calls were taken care of, An Lin embarked on his leisurely days as a father.
He would hold conferences, play with Little Xiaolan, and his days would be spent in leisurely serenity.
As for Mo Hai, An Lin had used Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s jurisdictive power to open up all of the cultivation mystic realms to him in order to fulfill all of his needs.
Mo Hai was extremely touched.
He had thought that he would be forced to work in the mines for ten thousand long years, only for An Lin to give him a new lease on life!
“Brother An Lin, you are my lucky star!” Mo Hai sobbed with gratitude.
“You should thank Little Xiaolan. All of this was only possible because of her jurisdictive power.” An Lin chuckled as he looked at the porcelain-like baby in his arms.
“Sister Xiaolan, I’m so blessed to have made your acquaintance!” Mo Hai spoke with an earnest expression.
Little Xiaolan gave him a reserved smile. The bright and beautiful sunlight shone down upon her flawless features, making her appear as if she were the most beautiful angel in this world.
One day.
Within the Vermilion Bird imperial sleeping quarters.
An Lin opened a pair of sleepy eyes, and he was greeted by the familiar scent of Xiaolan.
A little girl lay beside him, and she was still sleeping soundly.
An Lin knew that this was Xu Xiaolan, but he felt like he was hallucinating.
Her beautiful, black hair had already grown past her shoulders, and her features had become even more gorgeous and flawless. Most importantly, the green dress An Lin had made for her didn’t fit anymore. Her long and well-proportioned legs were completely exposed, and they emanated a jade-like sheen under the light of the sun.
“This...” An Lin’s eyes widened.
“Hmm...” The little girl opened her gorgeous eyes before speaking in a mellow, enticing voice, “An Lin? What is it...”
An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath.
One-year-old Little Xiaolan was now three-year-old Little Xiaolan!
