The Empress severed her cultivation and gave birth to a daughter.
This event shocked everyone.
It was chilling.
After all, the Empress was the foremost female powerhouse of the human race.
She ranked among the eight Human Supremes.
And was the goddess in the hearts of countless men.
She had innumerable admirers and suitors.
Even those like Emperor Qian were willing to grovel before her.
One could imagine how outstanding her beauty and charm were.
Every word and action of such a person attracted attention.
Previously, there was no news of her taking a partner.
Suddenly revealing that she had given birth to a daughter was a piece of news that was difficult for anyone to accept.
But before they could digest this news.
Chen Nan uttered, "The Empress is really carrying my child?"
This statement struck everyone's ears like a clap of thunder.
It made their scalps tingle.
Their eyes revealed deep shock.
What the hell!
Chen Nan was the Empress's partner?
How was this possible?
If he was the Empress's partner.
Why did Chen Nan help the Yan Nation crush the Xue Nation during the friendly match between Xue and Yan?
Which led to the disastrous defeat of the Xue Nation delegation?
This point did not make sense.
Du Qingqiu's gaze was complex: "Yes, after the Empress returned from the Land of Creation, she discovered she was pregnant and had been nurturing the fetus all these years."
"It wasn't until a few days ago that the Grand Priest was severely injured by a powerful Demon Clan expert, that the Empress personally went to that seal."
"But because the enemy was too powerful."
"The Empress, fearing that the fetus might be affected by the battle, severed two-tenths of her cultivation to give birth to the little princess."
It all made sense now.
At this moment.
Many people understood.
For example.
Why the Xue Nation delegation did not seek trouble with Chen Nan after their defeat.
If it were someone else leading, it would be understandable.
But the problem was that the Xue Nation's Grand Priest, Ling Yanran, was the one leading at the time.
She was a woman who held grudges and could not tolerate the slightest offense.
Another example.
Why Du Qingqiu had spoken up for Chen Nan before.
All of this was because Chen Nan and the Empress had become partners.
As for why Chen Nan helped the Yan Nation defeat the Xue Nation delegation.
It was probably a lovers' quarrel, a deliberate attempt to provoke the other party, right?
Lin Yan's face showed a wry smile: "The Grand Priest once said that one day our Yan Nation would realize who we lost to."
"At first, I didn't understand."
"Today, I finally understood the meaning of her words back then."
"So, if the Empress has become Grandmaster Chen's partner, then it is indeed our Yan Nation that has lost?"
Emperor Qian was like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Completely dejected.
Although Chen Nan had boasted before that he had been with the Empress,
He had always thought it was pure bragging.
With the Empress's discerning eye, how could she possibly look favorably upon him?
But.
Cruel reality had slapped him hard across the face.
He had not lied.
Not only had he been with the Empress,
But he had even made her willing, and she had severed her cultivation to give birth to a daughter for him.
He...
Had lost!
He had lost miserably.
"Impossible!"
Chen Nan's face turned pale.
He could not accept this.
"The timeline doesn't match at all. It's been almost four years since I went to the Land of Creation. If the Empress was carrying my child, she should have given birth three years ago."
"How could she have just given birth to a daughter recently?"
Du Qingqiu sighed softly: "The little princess had a difficult fate. The Empress experienced many mishaps during her pregnancy, and she almost died several times."
"Out of necessity, the Empress had to delay the princess's arrival."
"Now..."
"Although the Empress severed her cultivation to bring the princess into the world early."
"However."
"She might never be able to embark on the path of cultivation in this lifetime."
An indescribable pain filled Chen Nan's heart.
Making him feel a suffocating sensation.
He hadn't expected the Empress to give birth to his daughter.
But in front of so many powerful figures from various nations, he couldn't believe Du Qingqiu was lying.
He was happy to have a daughter.
But.
Hearing that his daughter was injured, he wished he could fly there immediately.
That was his daughter.
He would find every possible way to heal her.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Nan looked at Emperor Qian: "Emperor Qian, the battle between you and me will be postponed for a while."
"I need to go to the Xue Nation."
"After I handle matters in the Xue Nation."
"I will naturally compete with you."
Unexpectedly.
This time, Emperor Qian did not object.
He sighed, his eyes filled with helplessness and bitterness: "Go."
"Although I really want to kill you."
"I think..."
"At this time, the Empress must really hope you are by her side."
"If I kill you."
"She would be very disappointed in me, wouldn't she?!"
The others were filled with astonishment.
Emperor Qian did not kill Chen Nan, not because he was afraid of Chen Nan, but because he was afraid of disappointing the Empress?
Emperor Qian truly deserved the title of the foremost simp in the immortal realm.
"Guo Kai, lead eighty thousand imperial guards and proceed to the Xue Nation together."
"No matter what, you must kill those demons from the Xue Nation and reseal that passage."
At this moment.
Emperor Qian's face was filled with authority.
His tone exuded an unquestionable aura.
Guo Kai clasped his fists and accepted the order: "This minister obeys!"
Lin Yan also said: "I will immediately send a message to Emperor Yan, asking him to send reinforcements to the Xue Nation."
In fact, Emperor Yan had considered sending reinforcements to the Xue Nation before.
However.
The Empress was a proud woman.
She had decisively rejected their proposal.
And now.
They no longer cared about the Empress's attitude.
If the Empress had agreed to their sending troops to help the Xue Nation suppress that passage earlier.
Things would not have turned out this way.
Of course.
It was meaningless to discuss this now.
The most crucial thing was to reinforce the Xue Nation.
And slay the demons.
And drive them back to the Demon Realm.
Experts from several other nations also immediately pledged to reinforce the Xue Nation.
However, they were rejected by Du Qingqiu: "Thank you for your kind intentions. This time, the Demon Clan has returned with great force and ferocity."
"If you all send troops to reinforce the Xue Nation simultaneously."
"Your respective countries' defenses will inevitably be weakened."
"If the Demon Clan seizes this opportunity to launch an offensive, our human realm will inevitably be attacked from both front and rear."
"This time, let the Qian Nation and Yan Nation send troops to reinforce our Xue Nation!"
Although she was a woman.
She was exceptionally intelligent.
She was the foremost strategist by the Empress's side.
And also the Prime Minister of Xue Nation.
In terms of strength, she was not as capable as the Grand Priest Ling Yanran.
But in terms of strategy and the foresight to observe the overall situation.
Even Ling Yanran was not her equal.
Others listened and did not refuse. They took their leave from Emperor Qian and departed from the Qian Nation.
The Xue Nation's defense line had fallen, which was a matter of great importance to the billions of lives in the world.
They no longer had the mood to attend Emperor Qian's birthday banquet.
"I will accompany you to the Xue Nation."
Long Ao's voice sounded.
It wanted to find something to do for itself.
"Very well."
Chen Nan did not refuse.
Long Ao was a Level Nine Demon Emperor.
Its willingness to follow would be of great assistance.
Ao Ji: "I'll go too."
"You don't need to go." Chen Nan refused Ao Ji.
He did not want the Demon Clan to know about his relationship with the Dragon Clan.
Some things, the fewer people who knew, the better.
Chen Nan looked at Du Qingqiu and said, "Time is pressing, have the Xue Nation delegation board the teleportation array with Commander Guo Kai and return to Xue Nation. We will head to Xue Nation now."
Saying that, he tore through the void with his bare hands, taking Du Qingqiu and Long Ao with him, and disappeared.
Watching the void return to its original state.
Emperor Qian's gaze became extremely solemn.
Chen Nan's strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Because even he dared not cross the River of Time and Space to go to Xue Nation.
