Time flashed by. Ye Yun himself didn't know how many Void Beasts he had killed. Not to mention the relentless Golden Crow, Ye Yun himself was starting to feel sick from spinning in the sky.
However, despite the hardship, the rewards were at least gratifying. Besides 'gold-plating' another Dao Fruit during this period, Ye Yun also released the little Golden Dragon and gave all the experience points to it and the Golden Crow.
By now, the Golden Crow and the little Golden Dragon had directly broken through the level eighty threshold. The Golden Crow's speed had even surpassed the nine thousand mark, reaching a terrifying speed of 9.8 kilometers per second!
As for the little Golden Dragon's attributes, they were even more terrifying to behold. Although it was still far from Ye Yun's attributes, Ye Yun was certain that with the little Golden Dragon's attributes, it could easily defeat gods at level five or six even in the Upper Universe!
Furthermore, the little Golden Dragon had awakened three skills. Besides one passive skill, 'Reverse Scale,' the other two skills were large-area crowd-control abilities! Each covered an area exceeding ten thousand li. Most importantly, these two skills covered both the sky and the ground, effectively acting as omnidirectional attacks!
In fact, Ye Yun no longer needed to act himself. The little Golden Dragon followed behind the Golden Crow, unleashing its attacks once or twice every ten minutes! Both the flying Void Beasts attracted by the divine beast's aura and the ground-based Void Beast settlements were instantly annihilated by the little Golden Dragon.
"My hands, which have nowhere to rest, can only be used as pillows now. Knowing how powerful the little Golden Dragon is, I should have leveled it up earlier. But it's not too late. At least I can take these few days to sort out my gains."
Ye Yun lay on the Golden Crow's back. The Golden Crow had greatly reduced its speed to match the little Golden Dragon's pace.
Divine Blood Pills: 13.2 million. Three-Day Stones: 15.6 trillion. Law Fragments: 5.32 million! These were all brought by Black Ant from the Outer Heaven World!
Spirit Stones: 15 trillion. Void Gen Crystals: 3.6 million! Various Saint Stones: 1.2 billion in total. Divine Stones: 210 million! Gold Coins: 30 trillion!
Even Ye Yun himself felt his scalp tingle at such immense wealth. Among the Spirit Stones, in addition to those obtained from killing Void Beasts, there were also Ye Yun's shares from the Ten Directions Empire and the New Mortal Continent, as per the Heavenly Dao agreement Ye Yun had set.
As for Divine Stones and Saint Stones, they were two-tenths of what their subordinates had acquired in the Divine Cities, divided according to the agreement.
The Gold Coins were almost entirely from the seventy percent share of Feng Le City and the revenue from the secret realm's entrance fees.
What truly shocked Ye Yun was the massive income brought by Black Ant.
Since undergoing the Holy Light Baptism, this fellow had become a walking weapon of mass destruction. The number of gods it killed daily kept increasing! Recently, it had even started slaughtering Level Four gods in groups.
After arranging the Golden Crow and the little Golden Dragon, Ye Yun simply exited the game. With the little Golden Dragon around, even if Ye Yun didn't log in for half a month or so, there would be no issue. However, Ye Yun still entered the game daily, not for anything else, but out of habit to drink three cups of Heaven and Earth Fine Brew to increase his attribute points.
...
"Xiao Li, has His Majesty arrived yet?"
At this moment, in the eighth heaven of the Nine Dragon Yang Xu Palace, within the palace exclusively belonging to Ding Yi, dozens of nurses and doctors were busy in the imperial bedchamber. Ye Yun's mother-in-law and father-in-law were pacing restlessly at the entrance of the imperial bedchamber.
"General Ding, the ninth heaven is His Majesty's imperial bedchamber. Other than His Majesty, even the Empress has never entered. How dare this servant report to His Majesty?" At this moment, a personal maid of Ding Yi, carrying a basin of hot water to enter the bedchamber, was stopped by a young junior officer.
"Ding Dang, don't be rude. Xiao Li, you go in and help."
That young junior officer was Ding Yi's good-for-nothing younger brother, Ye Yun's troublesome brother-in-law, Ding Dang. However, after a few years in the army, Ding Dang had shed his former sleazy otaku image. Even standing there, he exuded a sense of iron resolve, causing some maidservants to glance at him frequently.
His mother's words immediately made Ding Dang dare not block Xiao Li any longer. Instead, he turned to look at his father, who was squatting in a corner, constantly puffing on a cigarette, and then squatted beside him.
From the beginning, Ding Fu had been squatting there, smoking incessantly, trying to alleviate his inner anxiety.
"Mom, what's going on... is my wife about to give birth? Wasn't the due date still three days away?" Just as they were anxiously waiting, Ye Yun finally arrived, albeit late.
"Xiao Ye, you're finally out. The doctor just said Xiao Yi's cervix has opened and she should be giving birth soon." Upon seeing Ye Yun, Ding Mu seemed to have shed a heavy burden, but the anxiety in her eyes was still hard to conceal.
As someone who had been through it, Ding Mu was not truly worried about Ding Yi's delivery, but about Ye Yun's appearance. After all, Ye Yun could be considered similar to an emperor in ancient times, and Ye Yun's attitude mattered more than anything.
"Mom, it's okay. I'll go in and take a look..." Ye Yun smiled and soothed Ding Mu, but inwardly, he was panicking. Although he was the ruler of the Ten Directions Empire and an supreme Quasi-Emperor expert, this was his first time encountering such a situation!
Ye Yun ignored the two men squatting by the wall and tried to appear calm as he intended to accompany Ding Yi. However, he was stopped by two maidservants at the entrance. Their reason was that Ding Yi did not want him to enter, as she didn't want Ye Yun to see her in an undignified state during childbirth.
This left Ye Yun speechless. He could only turn around, walk to the corner, and squat down beside his father-in-law.
Finally, amidst everyone's anxious waiting, the cry of an infant resounded throughout the courtyard. Ye Yun couldn't stay still upon hearing it. He had suppressed his divine sense earlier, but now, he instantly teleported into the room, causing a commotion.
Inside, Ye Yun poked his head in, looking with a silly grin as a nurse put a diaper on his newborn child, wrapped it in a pre-prepared blanket, and then turned with great affection to look at Ding Yi.
Ding Yi's forehead was covered in sweat, and she looked extremely exhausted, but her eyes were filled with happiness.
"Wife, you've worked hard."
