Chapter 1104: Taking Some People Away
"Hmm?" Jia Yubai, who was meditating in his small house, immediately opened his eyes when he sensed the presence of two people. "Who are you two? How did you know this realm?"
"Little boy, you don't have to be wary of us." Jia Yubai was surprised to hear one of them address him as such, especially since he was already so old. "My name is Zao Nianjian, and this little kid beside me is Long Tianhuo."
"Hey, Old Zao! You are indeed of the same generation as my great-grandfather, but I am no longer a little kid." Long Tianhuo immediately protested.
"Haha." Zao Nianjian laughed before telling Jia Yubai. "We have come here at the request of the leader of the primordial chaos dragons' followers; she has asked us to bring you and your granddaughter to the supreme realm. Your granddaughter is the Seer of this era, but her abilities have not yet fully awakened, and the danger continues to approach us. That's why she asked us to pick you two up, so her abilities will awaken sooner because she is one of the keys to stopping the danger."
Long Tianhuo told Jia Yubai something else. "Since your granddaughter is the Seer, she should have already known about Ling Yun, right? That guy is my son-in-law, and my daughter, Xiao Xiao, is one of his wives. That's why you don't need to doubt us, especially since we are on the same side, and we will fight together to stop the danger that comes from chaos."
"The chaos?" Jia Yubai looked shocked after Long Tianhuo mentioned it. "My granddaughter has told me about the hidden danger, but she doesn't know the source, and I didn't expect it to come from the Chaos."
Zao Nianjian nodded and spoke again. "The Chaos is indeed the bearer of the danger, but the emergence of the danger is the fault of all living beings. Our greed and the destruction we have caused to the universe have harmed it, and it wants to retaliate against us by destroying the universe and everything in it. If the darkness devours everything, then the universe will return to emptiness, and it will restore itself before forming a new universe."
"You are right." Jia Yubai let out a heavy sigh as he nodded in understanding. "The danger is the responsibility of all living beings, but none of us can stop it except for the successor of the primordial chaos dragon. Ling Yun is his successor, so the hope of this universe rests on his shoulders. However, he won't be able to stop it alone, and he needs a lot of help. Unfortunately, the three prophecies are still ongoing, and he will become another danger to this universe if all three are fulfilled."
"I have heard about Tianhuo's three prophecies, but I believe they won't affect this universe." Jia Yubai looked at Zao Nianjian with a frown. "Even if Ling Yun goes berserk, he still won't be able to wipe out this universe. Those immortals won't just watch him mess things up, and they will definitely move to stop him, so I'm not too worried about that. However, the Chaos is a different story because they don't have the ability to stop it, or else they would have stopped him long ago."
"Jia Yubai, I don't underestimate your granddaughter's abilities as the Seer, but I understand more about the abilities of mythical beasts. My daughter is a half-ice phoenix, and the phoenix race possesses an ability that they can only utilize once in their lifetime." Long Tianhuo's words made Jia Yubai gasp in realization, and he finally understood why he and Zao Nianjian weren't worried about the results of the three prophecies. "You've lived a long time, so you should have realized it, right?"
"Yes." Jia Yubai then contacted his granddaughter and asked her to pack her personal belongings before coming to him. "Are we going straight to the supreme realm after this?"
"No." Zao Nianjian then pointed in a specific direction. "I sense three powerful auras coming from the Sea Flower Realm, and they seem to be breaking through to the three immortal realms, so we will go there first once your granddaughter arrives here."
"I see." Jia Yubai himself had heard that Zhu Ling, Xian Di, and Nu Wang were in seclusion to break through to that stage. "In that case, I'll prepare now so we can leave as soon as Yuyan gets here."
Sometime later, Jia Yuyan arrived at her grandfather's house, and she looked overjoyed after seeing the two men. "Grandpa dragon, please carry me."
"Haha." Long Tianhuo laughed and immediately carried her. "You are such an adorable little girl, yet you are one of the most terrifying living beings in this universe. Your abilities are not fully awakened yet, but they will awaken faster once you cultivate in the supreme realm. We will use many ways to help you so you can help my son-in-law to face the chaos."
Jia Yuyan nodded to Long Tianhuo. "All the people who will help Ling Yun have appeared, and only one person is left who hasn't appeared yet, but that person will appear once he goes to the supreme realm."
"One person?" Long Tianhuo and Zao Nianjian looked at Jia Yuyan with questioned looks.
"I only saw that person's figure vaguely; I don't know that person's identity yet, but that person will be the most vital figure in Ling Yun's mission to stop the danger." Both men became curious about the person's identity, but they realized that they would have to wait for Jia Yuyan's abilities to awaken first. She then whispered something into Long Tianhuo's ear. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Long Tianhuo smiled and rubbed the little girl's head. "I always believed that everything would be fine, so I wasn't too worried about it, and your words made me more confident about it."
After Jia Yubai returned with them, Zao Nianjian immediately took them to board the Shidai, and he brought the three of them to the Sea Flower Realm, especially since the auras of the three leaders of the natural races were getting stronger.

Upon their arrival, Zao Nianjian asked Long Tianhuo to go to the dwarf sub-realm, and he went to the elven realm to check on Nu Wang's situation. Jia Yubai brought his granddaughter to the spirit realm, especially since they were both part of the spirit race.
"Hmm? Who are you, senior?" Nu Shen asked in shock as soon as Zao Nianjian appeared by her side, especially since no one from the elf race had noticed his presence.
"I came here to take your mother to the supreme realm." Zao Nianjian's answer shocked Nu Shen, but she immediately stood in front of the entrance with her arms spread out to the side. "Haha! Little elf, you know that you can't stop me, right? Moreover, I didn't come here to do anything bad to your mother. Instead, I want to help her so that she won't be sent to a random place when she ascends there."
"What do you mean by that, Senior?" Nu Shen asked in confusion.
Zao Nianjian immediately explained the situation to Nu Shen in as much detail as possible. "So you should already understand the situation, right? If I bring her with me to the supreme realm, she can complete her breakthrough faster, and she won't have to face any danger."
"I see." Nu Shen nodded in understanding. "Can my mother come back here immediately after she breaks through? I'm still too young to be the queen of our race, so I need her by my side."
"Little elf, you are a cultivator, and your cultivation is already at the venerable god realm, so you should be more confident in yourself." Zao Nianjian then looked towards the entrance. "Moreover, you already know that this universe will face great danger. We need many powerful cultivators to stop it, and your mother is one of them. That's why you need to become more independent, guide the members of your race, and prepare them for the potential chaos that may arise when the danger reaches these upper realms."
Nu Shen's expression turned gloomy after Zao Nianjian mentioned the danger. After all, she had stayed by Ling Yun and the others' side for quite some time before, so she already knew more or less about it. "Isn't it too late if it's already near these upper realms? If it reaches these upper realms, it means that the lower and middle realms have been destroyed."
Zao Nianjian nodded in response. "Unfortunately, this universe is simply too vast, and there are not many people who can stop the danger. Moreover, most of them live in the supreme realm, and they don't care about the lower and middle realms, so we won't be able to save all living creatures. We are running out of time, as your mother is on the verge of breaking through. If she breaks through first, it will be too late, so I will take her away immediately."
"Yeah." Nu Shen immediately stepped aside and opened the door to Nu Wang's seclusion cave. "You can take my mother away, and I hope you will protect her while she is in the supreme realm, senior."
"Don't worry, I will ensure your mother's safety." Zao Nianjian then moved into the cave, enveloped Nu Wang with his aura, and took her away directly.
Nu Shen let out a soft sigh as she couldn't keep up with Zao Nianjian's speed. Instead of chasing after them, she went to meet the members of her race and informed them about her mother's situation.

Meanwhile, Long Tianhuo was already standing beside Xian Di's disciple, Shou Zhe. He explained to him the reason for his arrival in the dwarf realm. "We don't have much time left because your master will break through soon, so I have to take him away right now, or else he will be sent to a random area in the supreme realm."
"All right." Shou Zhe immediately opened the door to that place.
Long Tianhuo wasted no time and brought Xian Di out from inside with his aura, but he then warned Shou Zhe about something. "You must keep an eye on them, or they will cause chaos in this place."
Shou Zhe nodded in understanding. "Thank you for your warning, Senior. I will definitely keep an eye on them in my master's stead."

Jia Yubai and Jia Yuyan were already in front of Zhu Ling's cultivation cave, along with Hun Lingwang and the spirit guardians. "They will take us to the supreme realm, so you guys must guard our realm well while our emperor is away."
"Old Jia, I will join you guys." Jia Yubai turned to Hun Lingwang with a frown. "I have already told our emperor that I am not interested in taking care of our race, and my old friend seems to need my help. Therefore, I must break through to the three immortal realms, with the supreme realm being the most suitable option for me.
"Grandpa, we have to take Grandpa Hun with us."
"All right." Jia Yubai immediately agreed with his granddaughter, and he right away took Zhu Ling away from that place, causing the spirit guardians to release heavy sighs. "Lei Zhong! I leave our realm to you and the others."
