"Good heavens, how old was I when I reached the Fifth Nirvana Realm? These younger brothers and sisters were born at that level." Her lips twitched almost imperceptibly as she muttered to herself.

However, she only sighed and was not really jealous. After all, she knew very well that her talent was no worse than that of her younger brothers and sisters. It was just that her father had not yet broken through to the Ancestral Realm when she was born.

Moreover, she's destined to become the most amazing older sister!

……

Luo Heng's children all inherited their parents' best bloodline talents.

Luo Chen was born at the Lesser Completion of the Profound Realm. Luo Yu, Luo Xiao, Luo Yuan, Luo Yi, Luo Xi, Luo Yan, and Luo Lan were all born at realms far exceeding those of ordinary people, with the lowest being the Sixth Yuan Nirvana Realm.

These children would be geniuses sought after by countless forces in any era of the Tianxuan Continent, but now they have all gathered in the Imperial Pavilion and become Luo Heng's children.

Looking at this group of little ones, Luo Heng felt quite emotional.

He never imagined that he would have so many children one day.

However, with more children comes more trouble.

Especially when these children inherit their parents' personalities—some are lively and active, some are quiet and calm, some are mischievous, and some are well-behaved and sensible—even as infants, they make the entire back mountain of the Imperial Pavilion lively.

As the eldest sister, Luo Xuan naturally took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings.

Although she was not very old, she had a very calm personality and was quite similar to Ling Qingzhu. Her younger brothers and sisters were all willing to listen to her.

"Xuan'er, please watch over Luo Chen for me. I have something to take care of." Ying Huanhuan handed Luo Chen to Luo Xuan and then hurriedly left.

“Okay, Aunt Huanhuan.” Luo Xuan took the swaddling clothes, looked down at the little guy who was staring at her with his big, dark eyes, and couldn’t help but reach out and poke his little face, saying, “Little Luo Chen, call me sister.”

Luo Chen blinked, then grinned and let out a muffled gurgling sound.

"Good girl." Luo Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

However, while taking care of her younger siblings is fun, it can sometimes give her a headache.

Especially when several little ones start crying at the same time, the scene can only be described as "chaotic".

"Wow--!"

"Whoa—!"

"Eee-ya—!"

The three little ones started crying at the same time, their cries rising and falling as if they were having a contest to see who could cry the loudest.

Luo Xuan frantically tried to appease one person after another, but failed to appease any of them and ended up sweating profusely.

"Stop crying!" Luo Xuan said helplessly.

She didn't cry this hard back then!

However, the three little ones completely ignored her and cried even harder.

Luo Xuan: "..."

She finally understood why her aunts always had that "life is meaningless" look on their faces whenever they saw the little ones crying.

Fortunately, Luo Heng appeared in time. He walked into the courtyard, looked at the three crying little ones, smiled slightly, and then waved his hand gently.

A gentle light shone down, and the three little ones' crying gradually stopped, replaced by giggles.

"Father is still the best." Luo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed sincerely.

Luo Heng smiled and ruffled her hair, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Xuan'er."

"It's not hard work." Luo Xuan shook her head, then looked at her giggling younger siblings, a gentle light in her large, dark eyes, and said:

"They are all lovely."

Chapter 464 The Origin of the System, or What? (Two chapters combined, brothers, please read!)

"Tongzi, you haven't said a word in a long time."

Luo Heng sat in the courtyard behind the Imperial Pavilion, holding a cup of hot tea, and spoke to the empty courtyard.

【…Host, is it possible that things have been going too smoothly lately, and you don’t need this system to speak at all?】 The system’s familiar mechanical voice was still devoid of warmth, and still carried a smug composure.

Luo Heng smiled, put down his teacup, and said, "Isn't that a good thing? It means I'm strong enough to solve problems on my own."

[Oh, you're pretty awesome! Should the system give you a round of applause?]

"Tsk, no need for that."

Luo Heng gazed into the distance, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly his smile faded, and his tone became more serious as he said, "Chief, I've always had a question I'd like to ask you."

【you say.】

"I read a lot of novels in my past life. In those novels, after the host becomes the strongest person in this world, the system either completes its mission and leaves, is taken back by the mastermind, or retires after achieving its goal. Will you... also leave one day?"

After he finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent for a few moments.

To be honest, Luo Heng was still quite unaccustomed to the system leaving in the future. After all, the system had been with him since he reached the ninth level of Body Tempering, and its influence was present in every step of his growth.

【…Host, have you been reading too many storybooks?】

This system is dedicated to its users, not a temporary one.

The way the system said those two sentences sounded like it was looking at an idiot.

"Binding?" Luo Heng raised an eyebrow. He had never seen the term "binding type" in the system panel.

"[Where do you think this system came from?]" The system's voice, unusually serious, continued: "[This system is not a product created by some higher-dimensional being, nor is it a tool of some powerful being. At its core is a primordial law embryo wandering in the universe, chosen because of your soul's unique qualities.]"

"A primordial law spirit embryo?" Luo Heng put down his teacup, intrigued.

[Yes, in all the realms, there exists an extremely rare thing, formed from the remnants of the Dao from the beginning of chaos. It has no consciousness, no form, only a pure mass of Dao essence. This system is a... uh, a slightly special spiritual embryo.]

How special is it?

[A normal spiritual embryo will only be passively used by the host, without actively giving rewards or developing self-awareness. However, this system, during its wandering, accidentally absorbed the remnant soul fragments of a fallen powerful being, thus generating a sliver of simple sentience. However, that sentience is extremely weak; most of its functions remain the operating mechanisms of the law fragments themselves, not true intelligence.]

Luo Heng was silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled and said, "So you mean, you are actually... a semi-artificial intellectual disability?"

[Host, this system gives you ten seconds to rephrase your statement.]

Luo Heng laughed heartily and said, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously. So, according to you, you won't leave me?"

The bond between you and this system is a symbiotic relationship at the fundamental level. The faster you grow, the stronger this system will become. The cultivation techniques you practice and the laws you comprehend will all feed back into the core of this system. Similarly, the rewards this system gives you are also formed by re-condensing fragments of laws extracted from the core.

Therefore... this system will not "detach" from you.

[Because it has separated, this system will revert to a state of unconscious Daoist energy.]

After listening, a hint of gentleness flashed in Luo Heng's eyes.

He had actually guessed long ago that the system wouldn't leave, but he still wanted to hear the answer in person. After all, he had gotten used to having someone like him who could banter with him by his side.

Although it always speaks in a cold and aloof manner, it has never been absent when it matters most.

"The system."

【Um? 】

"Thank you."

The system paused for a moment, then continued:

【…Host, have you had too much to drink today?】

"This is not true; it's just something I felt compelled to say."

Okay, okay, that's cheesy enough, stop with the sentimentality.

Luo Heng smiled and didn't say anything more.

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, saying, "By the way, Master, I remember you gave me a big gift on my wedding day?"

"...You only think of asking now?" The system's voice carried a hint of speechlessness.

This system thought you had forgotten.

"How could I forget? I just keep thinking about what you gave me."

The system has already placed that gift deep within your consciousness; you can check it yourself.

Upon hearing this, Luo Heng closed his eyes and sank his mind into the depths of his consciousness.

In that vast sea of ​​consciousness, a warm and ancient light was quietly suspended, radiating a vast aura that transcended this world, as if it contained the laws and patterns of a complete world.

He cautiously sensed the light, then suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with shock.

"Master...this is..."

Yes, it's just like what you see.

"This is a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation...?!"

Luo Heng's voice carried a hint of disbelief.

Of course he knew what the Jade Disc of Creation was. It was a supreme existence in the primordial mythology, a treasure of chaos, containing the source of the laws of heaven and earth. Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun only comprehended a part of the fragments before attaining sainthood.

Even the God-Slaying Spear is a step weaker, it's just a fragment, but this fragment looks quite large.

[Before meeting you, this system wandered in chaos for countless years, stumbled upon a fragment, and kept it there ever since. Later, upon meeting you, it found the host agreeable and decided to keep it as a congratulatory gift.]

Luo Heng took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said, "Chief, this gift is too much."

[Is it heavy? Not really. The cultivation techniques, martial arts, and spiritual treasures that this system gave you were all collected while drifting in the chaos. For example, that God-Slaying Spear, and those primordial divine skills you cultivate, were all retrieved from the chaos by this system.]

This world is actually not that sophisticated.

The system's voice remained calm, yet carried an air of self-righteousness.

Once you break through to the Great Ruler Realm, this system can even take you to see other worlds, such as the legendary Primordial World, Shrouding the Heavens, Perfect World, Mortal World, Devouring... from your previous life.

Luo Heng was completely stunned.

He remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "Master, didn't you say you were the incarnation of a fragment of law? You're just a spiritual embryo?"

Is it possible that this embodiment of a law fragment within this system is also an extremely powerful fragment of a cosmic law?

[This system is indeed just a fragment of laws, but the fact that you can learn cultivation techniques from so many worlds and obtain spiritual treasures from them naturally indicates that this system's level far surpasses those worlds. Otherwise, where do you think those God-Slaying Spears, Great Devouring Techniques, and Creation Jade Discs came from?]

The dimension of this system's existence is higher than any world you can imagine.

Luo Heng: "..."
