In Qing Chen’s eyes, Qing Zhun and old man Li Xiurui were completely different.
Old man Li Xiurui had reached the end of his life, having seen through the aning of his own life, he wanted to end it all.
But brother Qing Zhun was absolutely not like that; his life was wasted by others, leading to his inevitable departure.
In his final monts, he was extraordinarily reluctant to leave everything in this world, he didn’t even have much ti to embrace his younger brother, nor enough ti to wait for him to co ho.
Qing Zhun had rged with the world’s will. Even if there were reincarnation and the Netherworld, he couldn’t go find sister-in-law Ning Xiu.
Therefore, Qing Chen had to find a way to separate his brother’s will from the will of the world.
As it stands, a Demigod cannot achieve this, not even Yan Liuyuan can.
So can a God do it? Qing Chen doesn’t know.
But he has to try!
Qing Chen asked, "Is there a way to find the God Ren Xiaosu? Doesn’t he have a way to be summoned in this world?"
Qing Ji contemplated, "There likely isn’t. There are barriers between worlds; if he could be summoned, the one sleeping in the north would have already done it. So, you won’t find the God."
Qing Chen quietly looked at the small house for a long ti. On the shoe cabinet, there was still a group photo, secretly taken when Qing Zhun held him as they went out to find Ning Xiu.
In the photo, Qing Zhun and Ning Xiu were moving, with Ning Xiu gently rocking the young Qing Chen in her arms, a motherly glow on her face.
Qing Zhun looked lovingly at Ning Xiu, then at Qing Chen.
Qing Chen stood in the living room, he could even imagine his brother returning from work, opening the door and saying with a smile, "Honey, I’m ho."
The voice seed real, full of warmth.
Suddenly, Qing Chen said, "If I can’t find the God... then I’ll beco one myself."
He had to try.
Qing Zhun once beca a God for fifteen minutes for him, he could beco a God for this lifeti for Qing Zhun.
Qing Ji was surprised; at that mont, he only felt an unimaginably strong conviction in Qing Chen’s expression.
Beco a God? Can you just beco one by saying so?
It’s a realm countless Demigods dream of but cannot reach; only one in the world has beco a God!
Qing Ji was noncommittal about this: "I understand your desire to resurrect your brother, but instead of chasing such elusive thoughts, you might first fulfill his last wishes."
Qing Chen was taken aback, "A last wish? Did he have one?"
"Do you know what Xiao Zhun’s biggest wish in life was?" Qing Ji said standing in that little house.
Qing Chen looked at him, "What?"
"He wanted to have more ti to help raise your children," Qing Ji calmly said, "He had already taken in the Door of Shadow, and wasn’t planning to look for anyone else in this life, so he placed his hopes on you. He hoped you could have more than ten children, so he could play with them at ho. When he talked about this, his eyes were full of longing. Unfortunately, after you ca back, you hadn’t done anything significant, and he didn’t get to see it."
Qing Chen was puzzled, "Is that really his wish, or soone else’s wish? How is it so closely tied to the the of matchmaking?"
Qing Ji glanced at him, "I never lie, the world knows that Qing Ji never lies."
Qing Chen sighed, the more straightforward these people are, the more deadly their lies beco.
But the problem was, he couldn’t verify it.
"Wait, are you arranging a political marriage-style matchmaking for ?" Qing Chen asked, "Who are my matchmaking candidates, daughters of the wealthy or officials in Qing’s Family territory? Or daughters of military generals?"
Qing Ji thought for a mont and said, "Our Qing Clan is stable in the southwestern region, we don’t need marriage alliances to secure our political status, so when selecting a wife for you, her family background isn’t our primary condition. On the contrary, having a noble background would be a disadvantage, as we dislike influential in-laws."
"Eh?" Qing Chen felt curious, "Then what is your primary consideration?"
Qing Ji replied seriously, "Good fertility."
Qing Chen: "..."
He looked at Qing Ji’s serious expression and thought, big brother, how do you manage to deliver jokes so earnestly?
Even Zard couldn’t do that!
"So, you just want to leave children behind before I go off to die?" Qing Chen asked.
Qing Ji replied, "You don’t understand. If you die, then the child in your wife’s womb will be the only heir to Qing’s Family. In the past, this was called the ’national foundation.’ Without an heir, the vast Qing’s Family would have no one to succeed it."
"No," Qing Chen shook his head, "Qing’s Family follows the Shadow Struggle, it’s the foundation for selecting candidates, so why can my child inherit Qing’s Family?"
Qing Ji shook his head, "The foundation of Qing’s Family has never been the Shadow Struggle system, but the bloodline left by Qing Zhen, a unique bloodline. If you have the chance to visit Ginkgo Manor and see the previous generations of Qing Clan House Masters, and the trajectory of Qing’s Family developnt, you’ll understand that it’s when those who resemble your appearance held power that Qing’s Family made leaps and bounds of progress. Now, there are only three left in the world with this bloodline; two are aging, and you are the only young one."
