Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game

"In terms of strength, we cannot defeat the Five War Gods and the Celestial Emperor, nor do we have enough numbers, and we can’t escape. How do we break this situation?" Gu Changge frowned and spoke.

"Give me three months. I have already challenged sixty Great Daos successfully. Let me succeed in challenging a few more, and my strength will increase greatly. Then I can defeat a War God." Yang Tian said solemnly.

Chen Lan was thoughtful, estimating his own strength. If he were to solo any of the Five War Gods, he would not be afraid. Even if he faced two, he could still retreat unscathed. Against three, he could also retreat unscathed.

But if it were five, that would be impossible. They could exhaust him one by one and eventually wear him down.

As for the Celestial Emperor, the aura displayed previously was terrifying. It belonged to an outstanding Divine Daoist, and without confronting, it’s uncertain what the odds are.

"The Celestial Emperor, a Peak Divine Daoist. From what I know, he has succeeded in challenging over a hundred Great Daos. In terms of competing with Daos, I am not his opponent." Yang Tian spoke, having always secretly investigated the Celestial Emperor’s strength.

The other party is extremely mysterious and rarely reveals his strength, generally letting the Five War Gods handle troubles. It’s even difficult to see the Celestial Emperor, and to this day, no one knows his true appearance.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan’s heart sank. A hundred Great Daos, ever since learning a month ago that he could challenge other Daos, Chen Lan had spent a month continuously challenging the Daos.

Challenging Daos meant defeating historical Divine Daoists of other Daos. With each successful challenge, one could increase the Dao Source of that Dao, integrate it into the body, turning it into energy, and enhance strength.

At the same time, he benefited greatly. During the challenges, he could ask those Divine Daoists various questions. Some would answer, some couldn’t be bothered, but altogether he gained a lot of knowledge. With the help of the Celestial Eye, he extensively replicated their Divine Techniques, then pondered day and night to fuse various techniques into stronger Divine Techniques that suited him better.

In a month’s time, he managed to succeed in challenging only ten Great Daos, including the most commonly succeeded and relatively easy Five Elements Dao, as well as the Thunder Dao, Ice Dao, Soul Dao, and so on.

A hundred Great Daos, how much time must that have taken?

"Chen Lan has just entered the Divine Dao for a month, and still needs time. We need to wait." Gu Changge said solemnly.

Indeed, we need to wait until the strength is sufficient, then we can go out.

And time to a cultivator is negligible, a blink of an eye, and ten thousand years have passed.

"Hmm, I still need to become stronger." Chen Lan nodded and said.

"If that’s the case, then let’s wait. Strike when the time is right." Yang Tian said.

Afterwards, the three decided to wait, and strike when the time was ripe.

This place, the Evil Race may not find it so quickly.

...

At night.

The Demon Race held a bonfire party, more than eighty thousand people danced together, ate meat, drank wine, and had a blast.

The three of them sat on a tree, drinking fine wine, discussing past events with laughter and cheer.

Meanwhile, Chen Lan occasionally glanced at his daughter, surrounded by the crowd. In just half a day, his daughter was no longer shy, having blended in with everyone.

Because she was not arrogant, she was like a little girl. Gradually, everyone seemed to forget she was the Young Master, treating her as a friend, sharing many interesting stories.

A child who has never experienced the world, fascinated by worldly tales, naturally felt interested. Her mood gradually brightened, and she smiled more.

Seeing his daughter occasionally smile, compared to never seeing that smile in front of him that day, Chen Lan couldn’t help but sigh. He truly hasn’t fulfilled his role as a father.

"Thinking about how to make up for the lost father-daughter relationship?" Yang Tian suddenly spoke.

"Yes." Chen Lan nodded in response. He was indeed thinking about how to make amends. Suddenly something came to his mind, and he looked to the two beside him: "You two should have children, right?"

"Of course, I already have a son and a daughter. To tell you the truth, my children inherited my genes. They were in Foundation Establishment at birth, absolute geniuses. Now, at just over five thousand years old, they are already Daoist Venerables." Speaking of his children, Gu Changge’s face was full of pride.

Fortunately, he had previously sent most of the demons away from the Demon Realm. Like Yang Tian, he figured since they were the ones attacking the Evil Race, there was no need to involve the Demon Realm. So, he sent them outside the Celestial Domain early, settling on a certain planet.

He used the same method as Yang Tian, arranging a great concealment formation.

"I also have a son, born ten thousand years earlier than his son. He is now a Dao Ancestor." The same proud expression appeared on Yang Tian’s face.

Chen Lan nodded slightly, thinking of his son in the Cyan Wood Realm, though he was just a mortal, long gone. But his bloodline would continue in the Cyan Wood Realm, living on endlessly.

"Do you usually spend time with your children?"

Upon hearing this, the smiles on Yang Tian and Gu Changge’s faces froze instantly.

"Ah, very rarely. It’s always their mother accompanying them. I’ve been very strict with him. Since he became sensible, I’ve made him give his best in everything. Although he grows quickly, it seems he only respects me. Our relationship is not like father and son, more like monarch and subject." Yang Tian sighed, shaking his head.

To speak frankly, it’s quite shameful. He hardly spent time with his son, leading to a poor father-son relationship. Every time the son saw him, he didn’t call him ’father’ but ’father sir.’

Even though he explicitly stated he didn’t need to call him ’father sir,’ just ’father’ would do, the child still called him that, a bit distant.

At the time, he didn’t think much of it, feeling it was all for the child’s good. Only by letting him grow on his own could he become stronger. Plus, he was often in seclusion, so how could he find time to accompany the child.

To a cultivator, time in seclusion flies by. Out of seclusion, the child has grown up, and the look in his eyes is somewhat unfamiliar.

The title of father and son exists in name only!

"Like you, I rarely accompany my children. Our relationship is very subtle, not like family, more like monarch and ministers. I still remember once when there was trouble in the Demon Realm, I convened all the demons for a meeting. My daughter came in to find me to play, and I scolded her out. Since then, she never mentioned anything about playing, gradually drifting apart."

Gu Changge also sighed. Every family has its own difficulties. Thinking back now, he should have spent more time with his children back then.

If we survive, I will definitely stay by my children’s side, trying to make up for the lost affection.

Listening to the words of his two old friends, Chen Lan pondered, then jumped down to where the witch was. He sat down beside her and placed a piece of beast meat on the bonfire for roasting, smiling faintly: "Come, try your father’s cooking."

The witch beside him seemed a bit flattered but said nothing, nor did she refuse or leave. Instead, she quietly watched Chen Lan cook the meat for her.

The other Demons already knew what the witch had been through, sensibly not disturbing the father and daughter.

"Yang Tian, has your son married?"

"No, he is also obsessed with cultivation, so I don’t even know if he has a Taoist partner."

"My daughter hasn’t either. If the two of us survive, why don’t we have them meet? If they like each other, we can arrange a marriage?"

"Heh, old monster, is your daughter worthy?"

"Oh, you goblin! You’re really shameless!"
