CHAPTER 20:A Hundred Years of Luck for the Shen Family!

"The third gift, I will give the Shen family a hundred years of luck and help the Shen family for the next hundred years. Everyone shall be like a dragon."

As Shen Lian's words fell, he stretched out his five fingers and grabbed the void.

Boom!

In an instant, the world changed color once again.

Above the Nine Heavens, a beam of golden light pierced through thousands of miles of clouds and suddenly enveloped the Shen family villa on the top of the flat-topped mountain.

The earth began to tremble.

Dark clouds rolled across the sky.

Strips of golden lightning flickered in the air.

Thunder boomed across the ground.

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, all the Spiritual Qi converged upon the flat-topped mountain.

Clouds steamed, and the mists swirled.

It looked as if a massive funnel had formed atop the flat-topped mountain.

Countless invisible threads of Spiritual Qi poured downward toward the Shen family, forming a massive cyclone that connected heaven and earth.

The entire Pingding Mountain, where the Shen family resided, began to quake.

"Is this... an earthquake?!"

Countless people felt the tremors beneath their feet and were stricken with terror.

"Borrow ninety thousand miles of rivers and mountains for one use," Shen Lian spoke calmly.

In that moment, it felt as though countless invisible qi forces surged from all directions, gathering at Pingding Mountain.

Groan!

Amidst the mist, a colossal nine-clawed golden dragon emerged, coiling and howling above the Shen family.

Any cultivator present would recognize it at a glance.

That nine-clawed golden dragon symbolized supreme fortune—a golden dragon of luck.

With its blessing, for the next hundred years, the Shen family would surely rise in prominence, producing generations of exceptional talents without end.

At this moment, all of Pingding Mountain underwent a subtle transformation.

The old grass and trees withered by autumn were rejuvenated, sprouting vibrant green leaves.

Animals from hundreds of miles around were inexplicably drawn toward Pingding Mountain.

Clouds and mist gathered atop the mountain, where birds of a hundred kinds chirped in harmony.

Today, Pingding Mountain had become the place with the strongest fortune on all of Earth.

Those born here would be wise from birth, their bodies flawless.

Those who lived here would be immune to all ailments and enjoy long lives.

The ones who felt the changes most intimately were the disciples of the Shen family.

They sensed a mysterious force awakening within them.

It was the root of wisdom, the awakening of spiritual ingenuity.

"Shen Anxiong thanks Senior for the great gift!"

Inside the Shen family estate, someone suddenly shouted in reverence.

And immediately after—

"The Shen family is blessed! Thank you, Senior!"

"Shen Ning of the Shen family thanks Senior for the gift!"

"Shen Qingfang of the Shen family thanks Senior for the blessing!"

One by one, voices of gratitude rang out.

Dozens of Shen family disciples knelt in unison, kowtowing deeply to Shen Lian.

Their eyes were filled with reverence and awe.

This was sincere respect and admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

"Good."

Seeing this, Shen Lian nodded gently.

He raised his right hand lightly, and all of the Shen family disciples were lifted up by a warm and gentle force.

Among the guests, some friends of the Shen family watched this scene with undisguised envy.

Just moments ago, Shen Pangui and others had revealed Shen Lian's identity to them—the ancestor of the Shen family.

The uncle who had vanished for sixty years.

This revelation left them overwhelmed with envy.

"The Shen family... is truly destined for greatness this time!"

Countless guests of the Shen family were struck with sudden clarity and sighed with emotion.

From this day forward, the Shen family would rise like the great Peng bird, soaring across ninety thousand miles, a step away from reaching the heavens.

Their ascent was within reach.

"In the future, we must do whatever it takes to maintain good relations with the Shen family!"

Among the guests were titans of the business world and high-ranking officials, all hailing from prominent backgrounds.

None of them were foolish. They immediately realized what this meant.

The rise of the Shen family was inevitable.

And for those wishing to ride the Shen family's east wind, this was the time to act.

"Brother Lian... Are you going to leave?"

Shen Man asked in a daze.

She had already sensed it.

The reason Shen Lian bestowed such a grand blessing upon the Shen family was because he was preparing to leave.

That also meant...

Shen Lian was leaving.

"Yes."

Shen Lian smiled at her.

Just now, the other five followers—Yuan Ye and the rest—had already sent messages to him.

The golden giants, along with the forces backing them, had all been eradicated.

The threat of invasion upon Earth had essentially been eliminated.

At the same time, the system issued a notification that the mission for the Earth segment of the Battlefield of the Heavens was complete. Shen Lian would return to the cosmic realm and his rewards would be settled.

"Brother Lian... Can't you stay just a little longer?"

Shen Man gazed at him with tearful eyes.

She hadn't expected that the day of their reunion would also be the day of their farewell.

She had a premonition.

After today, they might never see each other again in this lifetime.

"No."

Shen Lian smiled and reached out to gently brush her hair.

"Xiao Man, there is no eternal feast in this world. Let go, and live freely."

"The Shen family is now prosperous, and the younger generation is full of promise. You no longer need to carry everything alone."

"For the first sixty years of your life, you lived for the Shen family and guided them to their current heights."

"For the next sixty years I grant you, I hope you live for yourself. Life is short like the grass and trees of three autumns. May your heart be at peace and your soul free."

As he spoke, Shen Lian stepped into the air.

He could already sense the attention of the Dragon Kingdom's government upon him.

Official personnel from all directions were converging on the scene.

But Shen Lian paid them no mind.

He looked up into the sky.

A portal, dark as a black hole, opened above.

There, Xuan Ba, Yuan Ye, and the other five had already arrived, waiting quietly and respectfully.

"Finally, I shall present the fourth gift to the Shen family—slaying the enemy for the next hundred years."

As Shen Lian spoke, he stepped forward toward the portal.

He did not release any aura, but the heavens and earth naturally supported him, manifesting a staircase of stone under his feet.

With each step upward, Shen Lian's appearance changed.

His black hair grew longer, flowing down to his waist.

The modern white shirt he wore gradually transformed as he ascended.

It became a majestic black robe adorned with golden thread.

When Shen Lian finally ascended into the sky completely, countless people looked up and were stunned beyond words.

Eyes widened, breath halted, hearts shaken.

"That is... that god!"

They recognized him.

Shen Lian was the very god who had stood atop the Pacific battlefield that day.
