Snow Country.
Chen Nan watched the Empress nervously, clutching her leg.
He hid behind the Empress, peeking out his small head.
She was fair and plump.
Pink and rosy like an exquisite porcelain doll.
A little girl with two pigtails pointing upwards and a red bib.
Her bright eyes were as deep and luminous as the stars.
The Empress said softly, "Niannian, aren't you looking for your father?"
"He is your father."
The little girl did not appear nervous or afraid, but instead offered a very shy, bashful smile.
Like an old friend she hadn't seen in a long time.
Chen Nan squatted down and clapped his hands at her.
The next moment.
The little girl, with joyful steps, stumbled and rushed into Chen Nan's embrace.
In this instant.
Chen Nan felt the entire world grow quiet.
Only he and his daughter.
Holding his daughter, he felt as if he held the entire world.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
The Empress's gentle voice rang out, "A few days ago, a master named Qu Cheng from the Demon Realm came."
"He said you had already ruled the Demon Realm."
"This day has come much faster than I anticipated."
Chen Nan lifted his daughter high above his head, eliciting bursts of giggles from the little girl.
The Empress continued, "A year ago, the Dragon Clan sent the sacred medicine."
Chen Nan gave a sound.
When he left.
He had sent word to the Dragon Clan.
To send the sacred medicine from the Monster Realm.
Now.
Only the sacred medicine from the Human Realm was needed to refine the Three Lives Creation Pill.
However.
He did not know.
If the Azure Dragon could succeed.
Chen Nan kissed his daughter's face and said softly, "Girl, will you play with Mommy for now?"
Although he had obtained the divine water.
He had not yet mastered the Water Law.
Therefore.
Time was extremely precious to him.
Even though he very much wanted to spend more time with his daughter.
He also knew.
How important it was for him to improve his strength.
The little girl's eyes welled up with tears, and she cried out, "No, Niannian wants to play with Daddy."
Chen Nan was suddenly at a loss, as he had never appeased a child before.
Let alone his own daughter crying uncontrollably in his arms.
"You take our daughter out to play first!" Chen Nan sighed inwardly and then handed his daughter to the Empress.
The Empress couldn't help but say, "Our daughter has been waiting for you to return. Wouldn't it be good to spend a little more time with her?"
Chen Nan steeled his heart and said in a low voice, "The Azure Dragon, for Niannian's sake, is stealing that sacred medicine in the Human Emperor City."
"Although it is a divine dragon, it is currently only a soul form."
"I don't know if it can succeed."
"My brothers are fighting against the enemy for our daughter."
"How can I be lazy?"
Saying this, he resolutely placed his daughter, who was crying and unwilling to leave his embrace, into the Empress's arms.
"I..."
The Empress was speechless.
She soothed her daughter's emotions and then left the sleeping chamber.
Chen Nan sat cross-legged.
He took out the divine water.
And drank it directly.
The Water Law enveloped him.
Giving him a feeling of swimming in a pool of water.
"Sister, why didn't you tell Brother-in-law about that dragon's roar earlier?"
Outside the sleeping chamber.
Ling Yanran couldn't help but look at her sister.
Chen Nan had only returned by teleportation array not long ago.
Therefore.
It was impossible for him to have heard the external sounds.
After all, teleportation arrays could isolate space and time.
But they had heard a divine dragon's cry resonate deep within their minds earlier.
The sisters knew.
That must have been the Azure Dragon.
The Empress sighed, "Your Brother-in-law is a person of great loyalty and righteousness. If we told him about that dragon's roar now, it would definitely affect his state of mind."
"Let's wait until he has fused with the Water Law before we talk about it."
Ling Yanran looked towards the sleeping chamber behind her and murmured, "Since ancient times, those who can master two laws become supreme powerhouses of an era."
"I truly cannot imagine Brother-in-law about to control the laws of Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements."
The Empress also looked behind her.
She had not expected Chen Nan to have such great fortune.
As for how powerful he would become in the future.
It remained to be seen.
------
In the sleeping chamber.
Chen Nan sat cross-legged.
The Yin and Yang laws beneath him transformed into a Tai Chi diagram, slowly rotating around him.
Like the gears of fate.
Exuding mystery.
The next moment.
The Five Elements laws appeared beside him.
Transforming into five different rays of light.
Making him appear as majestic as a god.
"Yang is heaven."
"Yin is earth."
"The Five Elements are the foundation."
His expression was solemn.
Creating his own small world.
Some things.
When one reaches a certain realm, they will naturally gain insights.
He hadn't known how to create a small world before.
And now.
There seemed to be a voice guiding him in the darkness.
He formed hand seals.
The Tai Chi diagram and the Five Elements laws disappeared from his side.
Upon closer inspection, one could see.
A fist-sized, three-dimensional small world appeared before him.
However.
The small world was barren.
The next second.
Chen Nan disappeared from the Empress's sleeping chamber.
He hovered in mid-air.
Looking down at this barren and empty small world.
"Is this the small world I created?"
"It's a bit desolate!"
"This place should have mountains."
He pointed with his finger from afar.
The earth trembled.
Mountains and peaks rose from the ground.
Chen Nan said there should be mountains.
And many mountains were born here.
"There should also be trees."
He released the Wood Law.
In an instant.
Countless trees and green plants sprouted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, appearing in the world.
"There should also be water."
Whoosh!
The empty space instantly became a vast expanse of water.
At this moment.
Chen Nan was the creator god of the small world.
Here, he was the absolute master.
The laws of heaven and earth obeyed his will and summons.
Whatever he wanted, he had.
The entire layout of the small world was according to his wishes.
However.
The area of this small world was not large.
Only over a hundred square kilometers.
It wasn't that Chen Nan didn't want the small world to be larger.
But rather.
He did not control much of the Five Elements laws.
Although he controlled seven kinds of elemental power.
He was far from as powerful as an Immortal Emperor who mastered a single law.
He was the type who understood everything.
But was not proficient in any of them.
"With my current strength, if I were to encounter the Human Emperor, to win, I must lure him into my small world."
"Otherwise, I have no great chance of winning."
Chen Nan had obtained a divine sword in the Demon Realm.
There was the Heavenly Machine Umbrella.
There was a divine pot.
And the Pillar of Merit.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation.
In addition to these.
Deep within his soul, there was a drop of True Phoenix blood.
Of course.
There was also an infant soul condensed from merit.
These were all his means.
However.
Could he defeat the Human Emperor with these means?
He did not know.
Although he felt he had many ways to fight.
The Human Emperor was a reincarnated Saint.
At this moment.
An angry roar came from outside: "Let me go! I'm here to see the Mister, or else I'll roast all of you!"
"Why is it that little guy?"
Chen Nan's eyes lit up, and he thought of the Three-legged Golden Crow, Chen Jin.
Without further thought.
He left the small world and pushed open the door, appearing outside the sleeping chamber.
Seeing Chen Nan, Chen Jin, like a wronged child, hugged his leg and sobbed, "Mister, I've finally seen you,呜呜!"
"You weren't in the Monster Realm, how did you end up here?" Chen Nan was very puzzled by the little guy's appearance.
Chen Jin wiped the tears from his face, "I'm here to deliver medicine."
Saying this, he produced the sacred medicine.
Chen Jin continued, "Ao Lie of the Dragon Clan received a summons from the Azure Dragon Ancestor, and along with the other four Great Emperors of the Monster Realm, they are now gathered in the Human Emperor City with six Human Race Emperors."
"They are jointly fighting against the Human Emperor, and they specifically ordered me to come and deliver the medicine."
Chen Nan's expression instantly froze!
For the sake of helping him obtain the sacred medicine.
They were actually besieging the Human Emperor together?
