Chapter 1024: Chapter 390: "New World." (Part 2)
"It’s still different." Chen Qiu, sitting nearby, shook his head, "Although my Chao Tian Sect has few people, they are all elites. Power isn’t simply about having more people. Although my fourth brother is formidable, what I mean is, my Chao Tian Sect is very strong as well."
...
Next.
Amidst the confusion, Chen Mang followed a large group of suddenly appeared family members into the Gate of Space. Though he didn’t recognize these people, he could sense a familiar and close feeling from them, a connection of bloodline.
This group was indeed his family.
He had always thought he was an orphan, never expecting to have so many family members.
This left him momentarily disoriented.
...
"That’s exactly how things are."
Within the manor where Chen Yi resided, Chen Yi explained the whole situation to Chen Mang, then sighed, "It’s the first time I’m seeing you too; you traveled through time while still in your mother’s womb."
"This is the destiny of the Chen Family."
"For some reason, members of the Chen Family always find themselves time-traveling when still in the womb."
"So I didn’t even have the chance to meet you."
Chen Mang glanced at a tearful woman beside him and learned from his father’s words that this woman named Jiaye was indeed his mother. Perhaps feeling the familial bond, he couldn’t help but utter a word that felt extremely unfamiliar: "Mom..."
He had said many words in his life.
But they were always curse words beginning with "damn" or "eff."
He had never said this word alone before.
For a moment, it felt extremely foreign, yet also strangely familiar.
"Mang..."
Jiaye gently stroked the back of Chen Mang’s head, her eyes red: "You’ve been through so much. You won’t have to work so hard anymore."
"Oh, right!"
Chen Mang took a deep breath and asked with a suddenly serious expression, "Father, is there some high-dimensional civilization or family enemy outside? My child was taken away while still in the womb. I left the universe precisely for this matter!"
"..."
After a long silence, Chen Yi spoke.
"No."
"The Chen Family has no enemies. The Chen Family is the Master of the Universe, unmatched, no enemy is a match for the Chen Family. What’s more, with the continual return of sons over the years, the Chen Family has grown ever stronger, even more unbeatable."
"Did you just say your woman is pregnant?"
"Yes."
"So my grandson, right?" Chen Yi sought for a moment among the crowd, fixing his gaze on Fang beside him, somewhat dazed, "No need to look; my grandson has also embarked on the path a Chen Family member should take. He will start a journey of his own in a strange universe."
"But..." Chen Mang said anxiously, "He’s still just a child."
"Weren’t you a child at the time?" Chen Yi looked at Chen Mang, "Your third brother Chen Qiu was also a child when he traveled through time. Trust in the Chen Family; even a child can make his mark."
"Have you named the child?"
"Yes, Chen Jiang."
"Good name."
"Can’t find him?"
"Can’t find. If I could have found him, I would have brought you back too."
...
Within the manor.
This was a seemingly ordinary manor, settled inside a planet, not a house you’d expect the Master of the Universe to have, yet this humble manor controlled countless universes.
Until now.
Biaozi and Old Pig were bewildered. They always thought Master Mang was an orphan, never imagining Master Mang’s background was so immense, that his father was actually the Master of the Universe.
And they also knew what lay beyond the universe.
Beyond the universe were countless other universes, all collectively known as the "myriad universes," with only one main universe, where Chen Mang’s father resided, and his father was the most powerful existence in this main universe.
Old Pig sat blankly on a stone bench, looking at the book in his hands, a book handed to him by a guy named Lao Tu after returning to the Chen Family.
The book’s title was...
"Understanding the Chen Family’s Past: A Guide."
The book narrated the life stories of several key figures of the Chen Family and their close associates, centered around family head Chen Yi, family matriarch Jiaye, and others who established a vast family, with Lao Tu being one of family head Chen Yi’s confidants.
For a very long time, Lao Tu had been working closely alongside Chen Yi.
"Unbelievable."
After a long pause, Biaozi finally spoke up, having yet to fully process all of this. He still found it hard to accept, but the truth was before him, and he had no choice but to accept it.
...
Similarly—
In a room within the manor.
Chen Mang similarly sat alone in the study, perusing the "Understanding the Chen Family’s Past: A Guide" in his hands. After a long time, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
His eyes were full of emotion.
