Beams of light shot into the sky and burst in rapid succession.
Amid the detonations, the New City was officially renamed, and a new plaque was hung.
Ye Residence.
This was decided by Shen Fuxin and Gu Ji after discussing it together.
Since they would be living here with their husband Ye Yu from now on, calling this place the New City would ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) make people a bit uncomfortable.
It had no feeling of home at all—more like a temporary stopgap.
So changing the name was very necessary.
On this, Little White lodged a protest and decided to set up a sign at the gate reading Little White’s Home.
But that proposal was rejected on the spot by Ye Yu, Gu Ji, and Shen Fuxin.
Little White?
Anyone who didn’t know better would think it was a kennel for a divine hound.
So that name absolutely could not be used.
In the end, Little White could only clutch the plaque it had made and mope in sorrow inside the Ye Residence.
During this period, Gu Ji had stayed by Ye Yu’s side without leaving.
Truly glued to him.
Ye Yu knew very well that she wanted to keep him here as many days as possible.
She didn’t want him to leave too soon.
The longer the time, the more it could prove to Yinghuo that she received more favor than her.
This was something Shen Fuxin had quietly told Ye Yu.
A tiny bit of selfishness—enough to make one chuckle.
But if Gu Ji didn’t want him to leave, what harm was there in keeping her company for a few more days?
In the Ye Residence, they spent a joyful stretch of time.
But Ye Yu was not about to slack off forever.
After what he had just gone through, he understood deeply how insufficient a New God’s strength was.
No matter what situation he encountered, it felt feeble and powerless.
He even had to rely on the Way of Posing to bluff people.
That left Ye Yu extremely displeased, so he planned to enter a dream again, consolidate enough strength, and then go to the Boundless Hall to meet Xie Buyu.
Only that would be the most secure.
No sooner said than done.
After calling Shen Fuxin and Gu Ji over to give a few instructions, Ye Yu lay down and drifted into sleep.
[Each time you enter a dream, it is a new life.]
[Loading map and characters!]
[Selected!]
[This dream’s talent: Heaven-Defying Comprehension (gold)!]
[As the name implies, Heaven-Defying Comprehension elevates the host’s aptitude and judgment, understanding, and analysis to an extraordinary level.]
[Growth is extremely fast. Please cherish this opportunity, host!]
Staring at the golden words in his sea of mind,
Ye Yu couldn’t help being a bit surprised. This was the first time the system had used the word “cherish.”
Could it be a hint of some sort?
Before he could think further, a familiar suction force arrived.
Everything around him turned unreal.
[Age 0. Ye Yu is born in the Demon Realm, in Moving-Sea City.]
[The moment he opens his eyes, a massive black bear’s head appears right before his face.]
[Ye Yu is startled at once.]
[Whoa, where did this black bear spirit come from? Here to steal a kasaya?]
[Hmm? Wrong script—where would I get a kasaya!]
[The big-headed black bear points at Ye Yu, thrilled. “Hey, madam, this kid’s expressions are so rich. Look at him!”]
[Right after, a woman with heroic features leans in.]
[Her face is pale, but her spirits are good. With a single slap she knocks the big-headed black bear several meters away.]
[“You lout, keep your bear paw away from the child. I really don’t know what to say about you—why show your bear head at a time like this?”]
[The big-headed black bear shows not a trace of anger. He trots back, grinning. “Madam, you just don’t understand.”]
[“I heard from other demons that a child’s future looks will resemble the first demon they see when they open their eyes.”]
[“So I deliberately manifested my true form so the child could see more. When he grows up, he’ll be as mighty as me!”]
[The woman looks doubtful and asks tentatively, “Is that reliable?”]
[The big-headed black bear replies with utter seriousness, “Naturally it’s reliable. I heard there’s a dog demon family in the east of the city. Their child was delivered by the neighbor Wang Daniu, and the child grew up looking like a bull demon!”]
[Hearing this, Ye Yu nearly dies laughing on the spot.]
[Obviously the problem is with Neighbor Old Wang—what does it have to do with whoever the child sees first!]
[Believing this kind of talk... I’m speechless.]
[Equally speechless is the pale-faced woman.]
[She covers her face with one hand, exasperated, then mutters, “Enough, stop talking. Go farther away. I’m afraid the child will catch your stupidity.”]
[“How am I stupid? Everything I said is true! I even dare swear by the Grand Way—it’s true!”]
[The big-headed black bear keeps laboring to explain his view, determined to prove himself right.]
[But the woman has no interest left in listening.]
[She immediately bends close to Ye Yu and whispers, “Baby, in the future don’t be as silly as your father. You must be clever.”]
[Ye Yu blinks.]
[Honestly, being smarter than him is easy. But being sillier than him? The difficulty level is too high—the average person really can’t manage it. Don’t worry.]
[Age 5. Ye Yu sits at the door, frowning as he watches the middle-aged man cultivating in the courtyard.]
[By now, he has fully grasped the situation.]
[The middle-aged man before him is the big-headed black bear from before—his bargain father in this dream, Ye Xiang.]
[Late peak of Foundation Establishment, unable to step into Core Formation; the family calls him a low-grade cultivation bear.]
[What can you do? Of nine siblings from one womb, aside from Ye Xiang, the worst of the others is at Nascent Soul.]
[By comparison, the title “low-grade cultivation bear” is well-deserved.]
[His mother, Xiao Wen, is mid Core Formation, with extremely ordinary talent. Barring accidents, at most she might reach Nascent Soul in this life.]
[In short, both parents’ realms are too ordinary. In this vast demon city, they are about as average as can be.]
[As a result, Ye Yu’s childhood was not exactly prosperous.]
[You could tell that from the food in his bowl right now.]
[A tiny, scrawny spirit fruit, and a small piece of spirit-beast meat.]
[For Ye Yu, who is used to opening a game at the “born superior” setting, this is very hard to adapt to.]
[So he plans to break the deadlock.]
[Hoping his father becomes a dragon.]
[Ye Yu slowly exhales a murky breath and looks forward intently.]
[The circulation of demonic qi around Ye Xiang, and the flow of power within his body, are crystal clear to Ye Yu.]
[That is this dream’s talent—Heaven-Defying Comprehension.]
[If he’s honest, in both reality and prior dreams, Ye Yu’s aptitude has never been especially good.]
[He’s had nothing to do with the top tier.]
[But ever since he gained this dream’s talent, everything is different now.]
