A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 289

Chapter 289: Wu Tiankun Arrives, An Unknown Past

“Speak up. What exactly is going on?”

Staring at her father’s extremely grim expression, Lu Mengyuan also felt very uneasy inside, but in the end, she chose to explain everything truthfully.

After hearing Lu Mengyuan’s account, Lu Ren’s face turned very unpleasant, and he couldn’t help but scold angrily, “Nonsense. The other party just saved your life; was it really necessary for you to sacrifice yourself like that?”

“But Father, if it hadn’t been for that person, I probably would have died inside the Ten Thousand Immortals Secret Realm long ago. I did it willingly—I just never expected to get pregnant,” Lu Mengyuan said calmly, showing no anger over what had happened. After all, the situation at the time was desperate, and without that person, she would have surely perished in the Secret Realm.

After a long pause, Lu Ren sighed helplessly and reluctantly softened his tone. “That child is extraordinary. Let him stay here in our Time and Space Holy Land. But you absolutely must not reveal your relationship with him, lest the news get out and ruin your reputation.”

“By the way, do you remember which faction that young man belongs to?”

Hearing this, Lu Mengyuan shook her head, a trace of regret in her voice. “I don’t know. Our acquaintance was purely accidental. Afterwards, I never deliberately tried to find out more about him.”

“You! How am I supposed to talk to you? You let him benefit so much without even planning to find him,” Lu Ren said, clearly angry.

“Father,” Lu Mengyuan interrupted calmly, waving her hand to calm him down before continuing, “This is my decision, so please respect it.”

“Well, whatever. What choice do I have? You’re my only daughter after all.”

Lu Ren ultimately gave in, but secretly, the actions of the Shadow Guards didn’t stop. Just because his daughter wasn’t curious didn’t mean he wasn’t. If that person had targeted his daughter on purpose, Lu Ren wouldn’t mind eliminating him behind the scenes—that way, he could prevent any factors that might upset his daughter.

At that moment, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ren and Lu Mengyuan. When she saw Wu Tiankun, Lu Mengyuan’s pupils contracted sharply. How could she not recognize Wu Tiankun?

If it hadn’t been for Wu Tiankun, she probably would have died at the hands of those ten True Immortal Peak cultivators. But if not for Wu Tiankun, her innocence wouldn’t have been taken away, and Wu Zhengyu wouldn’t have been born.

In contrast to Lu Mengyuan’s silence, Lu Ren grew tense. In the next moment, he waved his hand and summoned the Time Bell to his palm. Looking seriously at Wu Hao and Wu Tiankun in front of him, he asked, “Who are you two?”

Lu Ren could clearly see Wu Tiankun’s cultivation level—Peak True Immortal. But Wu Hao’s presence was mysterious and deep like an abyss; even though he was right before Lu Ren, it was impossible for him to truly perceive Wu Hao’s existence.

This made Lu Ren instinctively think that Wu Hao and Wu Tiankun had come to disrupt the situation.

Yet Wu Tiankun didn’t respond to Lu Ren’s words. Instead, he was immediately drawn over to Lu Mengyuan, who was standing behind Lu Ren, his expression extremely complicated.

He had some impression of Lu Mengyuan, though faint. After all, her situation was similar to that of Wu Yifan and Lin Zixin, except that Wu Tiankun had been drugged, so he had no memory whatsoever.

Just then, Wu Hao spoke.

“I am Wu Hao, the Ancestor of the Wu Family. This is my grandson, who is also, in fact, your grandson’s father.”

Hearing Wu Hao’s words, disbelief washed over Lu Ren’s face. Wu Tiankun’s expression also revealed a hint of incredulity—not remembering anything, how could he suddenly be a father?

But Wu Tiankun never doubted his grandfather’s words. Could it be because of that time he had no memories?

Lu Ren, turning around, caught the complex expression on his daughter’s face, and in his heart, he understood—it was probably true.

With that thought, Lu Ren took a deep breath and turned back to look at Wu Hao, asking, “So, Senior, how do you intend to handle this matter?”

Lu Ren could tell that Wu Hao had no intention of taking hostile action. Coupled with Wu Hao’s unfathomable depth, Lu Ren had no thought of attacking him. There was also a vague feeling inside that if he made a move, Wu Hao could probably finish him in an instant.

Upon hearing Lu Ren, Wu Tiankun and Lu Mengyuan both looked toward Wu Hao, their expressions complex and unreadable.

But Wu Hao waved his hand and said plainly, “Our Wu Family will formally propose marriage to Lu Mengyuan to welcome her into the family. Rest assured, now that Lu Mengyuan has become part of the Wu Family, we will absolutely not let her suffer any harm.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ren fell silent and didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he turned to look at his daughter, Lu Mengyuan, and asked, “Daughter, what is your decision on this matter?”

Lu Ren had decided to hand the decision over to his daughter. After all, she had grown up, and it was time for her to have her own opinion.

Secondly, it was because he wasn’t a match for Wu Hao in front of him, and outright refusing wasn’t really appropriate, so it was better to leave the decision to his daughter.

Upon hearing her father’s words, Lu Mengyuan lowered her head and remained silent for a long moment before finally looking up at Wu Tiankun and softly asking, “So, what is your decision?”

Hearing Lu Mengyuan’s question, Wu Tiankun’s heart grew very complicated. He hadn’t expected to suddenly have a wife and a son without any reason. The bloodline connection told him that the baby before him was indeed his own offspring.

With this in mind, Wu Tiankun glanced at Lu Mengyuan and then spoke, “If you don’t mind, I am willing to become your Dao companion. If I were to betray this, may heavenly thunder strike me down!”

As soon as Wu Tiankun’s words fell, a rumbling sound echoed through the void, signaling that the Heavenly Dao had officially accepted this vow.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ren’s expression changed slightly. He obviously hadn’t expected Wu Tiankun to make such a solemn vow.

Lu Mengyuan’s heart was also stirred. She then turned to her father and said, “Father, it’s decided—him.”

Lu Ren’s expression became deeply complicated following his daughter’s words, but in the end, he said nothing. After all, Wu Tiankun’s talent was absolutely top-tier. From Lu Ren’s investigation, Wu Tiankun hadn’t even reached a thousand years old and was already at the Peak True Immortal level—a prodigy even compared to his own daughter.

Furthermore, Wu Hao’s cultivation was at least at the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle. Thinking of this, Lu Ren grew somewhat interested. If Wu Hao could take action, perhaps he could destroy the Blood Soul Sect that had everyone in the Upper Realm living in fear.

But before that, he needed to test Wu Hao’s strength first.
