Chapter 425: Player of the Fourth Scourge (5)

Long Zhou could not understand why Su Chen had appeared here. His mind went completely blank.

It was over... everything was over.

The Long Family possessed not the slightest power to resist. Before that person, even if the clan-suppressing sacred artifact emerged, it would only be casually pointed at and completely erased.

Long Zhou's legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the ground.

The scene from his memories replayed once more. Even after returning to the past, all that remained at this moment was profound helplessness.

In a single exchange, the Long Family was destroyed. Only Long Zhou remained, and the youth who had annihilated the Long Family now stood before him.

A soft murmur reached Long Zhou's ears.

"Another rebirth."

His pupils contracted sharply.

He completely lost consciousness.

After casually erasing Long Zhou, Su Chen noticed something. The number of rebirths he had encountered seemed a little high.

Since recovering his memories, he had run into two rebirths in a short span of time. This was clearly no ordinary matter.

"Did something major happen in the future?"

Su Chen wondered.

Yet he immediately cast those thoughts aside.

It was simple.

Whether someone was a rebirth or not, he could not be bothered to care. As long as these fellows lacked sense and dared to set their sights on him, he would kill one if one came and kill a pair if a pair came.

Su Chen casually tore open space and returned to Darao City.

Butler Xiao saw the scene and understood that the Young Master had resolved everything.

The two returned to the Xiao family.

...

If the Long Family was the strongest clan on Tiancheng Star, then the strongest sect was the Heavenly Will Sect.

At that moment, within the Heavenly Will Sect, a handsome and outstanding young man opened his eyes.

"The Long Family is gone... how is this possible? In my memories, the Long Family was also destroyed, yet it absolutely was not wiped out at this point in time!"

The young man frowned tightly. He vaguely sensed that certain matters did not quite match the scenes in his memories.

His name was Yun Qing, the strongest successor the Heavenly Will Sect had produced in ten thousand years. In this era, he and Long Zhou had been called the peerless dual prodigies.

Yet only he knew that the title of peerless dual prodigies had become a complete joke after that man's appearance.

In his memories, the destruction of the Long Family should still have been five months away. Now it had been advanced by five months, causing a possibility to surface in Yun Qing's mind.

"Could it be that Long Zhou, like me, is also a rebirth?"

Indeed. Yun Qing was also a rebirth. He had returned from the future to the present. He had originally believed he was the only rebirth. Now, with the premature destruction of the Long Family, he vaguely realized he might not be the only one.

Upon learning that the Long Family had been wiped out overnight by a mysterious person, Yun Qing understood.

"Long Zhou must have gone and provoked that monster again, causing the Long Family to be erased ahead of schedule."

After grasping the entire sequence of events, Yun Qing still felt lingering fear.

The same idea had once arisen in his own heart, yet he had quickly extinguished it.

That man was simply too terrifying... so terrifying that even after living a second life, Yun Qing did not dare harbor the slightest disrespectful thought toward him. He only wished to stay far away from that terrifying man!

Facts proved his decision had been correct. Otherwise, the Long Family would have served as a warning example for the Heavenly Will Sect.

Su Chen had already returned to the Xiao family villa.

Three days later, he received a message from his birth father in this life.

The refined, scholarly middle-aged man before him was Xiao Hongyuan, Su Chen's birth father in this life.

"Son, you absolutely must help your old man this time. This is your grandfather's lifelong wish."

The middle-aged man completely disregarded his image and looked ready to kneel on the ground.

Everyone believed that being born into the Xiao Group was a life of wealth and privilege for Xiao Chen.

Yet the middle-aged man knew it was all an illusion. The Xiao Group's present success was not due to any great ability of his own... well, there was a little, but far more of it came from having an excellent son!

From the moment of his birth, while other children still played in the mud, his own child had already begun contemplating the changes of heaven, earth, sun, moon, and stars, as well as the principles of all things.

He had even created cultivation methods that could be practiced in the real world. It was nothing short of a miracle, no different from an ignorant person suddenly attaining enlightenment and, without any foundation, creating every advanced mathematical formula.

Even the Xiao Group's current prosperity largely stemmed from a prescription his son had casually improved at the age of ten, allowing the group to rise like the midday sun. If the person before him were not his own son, kneeling to one's child would have been inappropriate, yet he still felt the urge to kowtow.

What geniuses, what monsters, what number one of the Starry Sky Alliance... before his own child, they were no different from three-year-old toddlers. If Xiao Chen had not preferred to keep a low profile, the history of the Alliance would already have been overturned!

Looking at his desperately pleading father, Su Chen felt rather helpless.

The Xiao Group had been built single-handedly by his father.

His father was a grassroots success story.

Yet his father's father, Su Chen's grandfather in this life, Xiao Wen, had an extraordinary background. He came from the Xiao family within the Starry Sky Alliance, a colossal force that could easily crush Tiancheng Star. Unfortunately, Xiao Wen had once committed a grave error, resulting in his expulsion from the Xiao family, the abolishment of his cultivation, and exile to Tiancheng Star, where he eventually died of depression.

According to his father Xiao Hongyuan, on his deathbed Xiao Wen had clutched Xiao Hongyuan's hand with tears in his eyes and instructed, "Hongyuan, your father has no other wish in this life... I only hope to return to the Xiao family genealogy so that our branch of the lineage will not be cut off. That way I can face the ancestors without shame."

Xiao Hongyuan had tearfully agreed.

Before Su Chen recovered his memories, he had once again improved a prescription for the Xiao Group. Relying on that prescription, the group released a new product.

The value of the new product came to the attention of an important figure within the Xiao family, who wished to cooperate with the Xiao Group.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongyuan immediately realized the opportunity had arrived and brought up Xiao Wen's dying wish.

To reopen the family genealogy and allow the fallen leaves to return to their roots.

Yet the person Xiao Wen had offended still held a high position within the Alliance's Xiao family. That person found the matter difficult and stated outright that the prescription alone was insufficient... additional payment was required.

Thus the present scene had unfolded.

Rewriting a prescription was a trivial matter for Su Chen. His mind contained not only King-rank prescriptions but Emperor-rank ones, and even so-called Super Emperor-rank prescriptions sufficient to fill an entire universe.

Looking at his desperately pleading father, Su Chen still agreed to the request and casually wrote down a Venerable-rank prescription.

Its value would make restoring their branch to the Xiao family no difficult task.

Xiao Hongyuan was overjoyed. He took the prescription and hurried away.
