A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 67

Knowing that the Dao Master Bottle’s true power could only be wielded by an Immortal Emperor, Wu Hao felt a surge of regret. If he had known this beforehand, he would have kept some Saint Master Bottles for now. After all, while the Dao Master Bottle required an Immortal Emperor to unleash its full potential, the Saint Master Bottle could currently display its complete power.

However, the system had a rather foolish function that prevented the cancellation of completed actions, so Wu Hao could only grit his teeth and accept the result.

This matter didn’t dampen Wu Hao’s spirits for long. The next day, upon waking, he continued searching with his wife Su Qiaoran in the Xuantian Realm for suitable targets to assemble the Great Emperor Legion.

“Darling, have you really not found any suitable targets?” Su Qiaoran asked, glancing at Wu Hao’s serious expression as she hesitated to inquire.

They had been searching for about a month without finding a single target. Was it that Wu Hao’s expectations were too high, or was it simply impossible to find anyone?

Upon hearing her words, Wu Hao’s expression grew slightly grave, and after a long pause, he sighed and said, “Perhaps my requirements are too high. I should adjust my criteria.”

What Wu Hao needed were individuals who were absolutely loyal to him. Even if he fell from grace, they would never betray him; if necessary, they would unconditionally obey his orders even if it meant their death.

After identifying potential candidates, Wu Hao created an incredibly realistic illusion, allowing them to gain Great Emperor-level combat power within it. Then, he would simulate his own decline to see how they would choose.

Of course, everyone betrayed Wu Hao and turned away immediately after he fell; otherwise, the leader of the Great Emperor Legion would have already been selected.

While Wu Hao contemplated lowering his expectations—no longer demanding unwavering loyalty after his decline, but rather desiring absolute obedience while he was still strong—he suddenly sensed something and couldn’t help but feel a spark of excitement.

“Wife, let’s go. I see something interesting,” he said, before vanishing from their spot, taking Su Qiaoran with him. When they reappeared, they found themselves in front of a wasteland.

“Why, why, why must everything I cherish be destroyed!” In the center of the ruins, a disheveled young girl looked at the scene before her, crumpling to the ground, her face filled with despair.

Just then, the sky began to rain in perfect harmony with the scene, making the girl’s figure appear even more desolate.

Su Qiaoran stood silently by Wu Hao’s side, recognizing that he had his own reasons for bringing her here; all she needed to do was watch and wait.

Unbeknownst to her, the young girl stood frozen in place as Wu Hao made his move, trapping her within the illusion he had set up. In this illusion, Wu Hao learned the girl’s name—Nameless. She had just been taken in by the Chen Family, only to see them perish almost immediately, without even having the chance to choose a name for herself.

The girl had survived purely by chance because she had been out when everything happened. Before this, she had been taken in by over a dozen families, but without exception, each of those families had been annihilated.

Within the illusion, Wu Hao took the girl in, gave her the Blood Emperor Pill, and bestowed upon her a Superior Spiritual Root, intending for her to serve him. Later, due to a twist of fate, he became crippled, unable to cultivate further, but the girl chose to stay by his side instead of abandoning him.

As Wu Hao looked at the girl before him, a bitter smile crept across his face. “I’m a cripple now, the kind who can’t cultivate for life. Are you sure you want to stay by my side?”

The girl responded seriously, “Master has poured his heart out to me; how could I leave when you need me? My life belongs to you. If something were to happen to you, I would follow you afterward.”

Hearing her words, Wu Hao was momentarily stunned, but he quickly burst into laughter. “Hahaha, I’ve found it—I’ve finally found it.”

As Wu Hao laughed, the girl looked momentarily confused, but everything around them slowly faded away like bubbles. Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran now stood before her.

Seeing Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran, the girl was initially taken aback, but then her eyes sparkled with recognition. “Master!”

“Hmm, stand up. What just happened was a test for you. Now that you have passed, from this moment on, you are mine,” Wu Hao said, nodding with satisfaction.

Because of Wu Hao’s actions, Su Qiaoran had also learned about the contents of the illusion and couldn’t help but regard the girl with a bit more respect. In the current Xuantian Realm, few could maintain their original intentions, and even fewer could hold onto them after gaining strength.

“Swallow this down; it’s the Blood Emperor Pill for you. Also, here’s your Spiritual Root!”

After saying this, Wu Hao flicked his finger, sending a Blood Emperor Pill into the girl’s mouth, while simultaneously embedding a Superior Spiritual Root into her body to ensure her path would not be obstructed.

Feeling the changes within her body, the girl eventually lifted her head to look at Wu Hao and sincerely bowed her head, speaking with utmost seriousness, “I request my master to give me a name!”

“Since you are nameless, then let’s make your surname Wu. As for your first name, let’s call you Mengdie. A butterfly undergoes transformation like a dream; you will have a bright future ahead,” Wu Hao said after some contemplation, giving what he thought was a fitting name.

From this moment onward, the girl on the ground would be called Wu Mengdie. Her eyes sparkled with light as she murmured to herself, “Starting today, I have a name.”

At that moment, the rain in the sky also came to a stop, and a ray of sunlight broke through the dawn, illuminating Wu Mengdie, making her look as if she were glowing brilliantly.

With the help of the Blood Emperor Pill, Wu Mengdie effortlessly broke through to the Initial Stage of the Great Emperor Realm. Because Wu Hao had concealed her aura, no one in the Xuantian Realm was aware that someone had ascended to the Great Emperor Realm.

After reaching the Great Emperor Realm, Wu Mengdie glanced at Wu Hao and, clenching her teeth, requested, “Master, there’s something I want to say.”

“I know. Go on, settle your grievances with the outside world, and then find ninety-nine absolutely loyal individuals throughout the entire Xuantian Realm, and bring them before me!”

Wu Hao understood what Wu Mengdie intended. Although the time she spent with those families was short, she had kept their kindness in her heart. Now that she had the strength to seek vengeance for those wronged souls, she naturally wanted to avenge them.

Wu Mengdie looked at Wu Hao, deeply expressed her gratitude, and then turned to leave.

Su Qiaoran stood in front of Wu Hao, sighed, and said, “What a poor child. Husband, what do you think her origins truly are?”
