Pacific Ocean, on an island in the sea.
A palace, situated here.
This palace, built with more than half a year’s money.
All the major powers nearby, provided technical support.
Only, the builders did not know what was the point of building this palace, in the heart of this ocean.
Surely, if they were to come here now, they would understand.
For, the only purpose of this palace is to provide shelter for someone, a shelter.
At this moment, within the great hall, a man in blood robes, sat on the ground.
If Ye Fan were here, he would have recognised at a glance that this man was his own cousin, Chu Qi Tian.
However, the current Chu Qi Tian was very different from the impulsive, paranoid youth back then.
In its place, there was a deep, unseen gloom and scheming.
Chu Qi Tian sat on the ground and closed his eyes to recuperate.
In front of him were six God Ranking powerhouses, kneeling and worshipping, “Master, the last batch of seeds, have been sent to the Dragon Gate.”
“In a month’s time, when this batch of seeds matures, our Dragon Gate plan can be declared a success.”
Odin and the others spoke respectfully.
In front of them, these giants of the God Ranking who dominated the global martial arts world were, at this moment, respectful as if they were pigs and dogs in front of Chu Qi Tian.
Only then did Chu Qi Tian open his eyes when he heard the words, and his eerie words immediately rang out.
“It has been a year, and the preparation phase of the Dragon Gate Project has finally come to an end.”
“You have done well.”
“In a month’s time, you will select a hundred seeds of good character from among them and follow me to Kunlun Mountain.”
“At that time, I will personally open, the Dragon Gate Grand Formation!”
“It’s soon.”
“The day the Dragon Gate Formation opens will be the day I reappear in the world.”
“Prepare yourselves, prepare yourselves for, the coming of the Lord!”
Chu Qi Tian stood up, his body slowly hovering in the sky.
He stood tall and looked down at the heavens.
The anger that had been suppressed for a thousand years in his heart would finally, soon, be truly unleashed.
“A thousand years ago, it was my bad fortune to have met you, Chu Yunyang.”
“One thousand years on, I will be back in the world again.”
“And you, Chu Yunyang, where are you again?”
“This time, there will be no one, again, able to stop me.”
“Hahahahahaha…”
“Chu Yunyang Chu Yunyang, ah, it is my daddy who has the last laugh!” The reckless and majestic laughter echoed endlessly in the sky.
Chu Qi Tian stood proudly at the top of the clouds, as if he was talking to someone across a thousand ages.

As the Queen of Winds and others, prepare for the coming of the Lord.
On the other side of the space, there was a bonfire shaking.
It was a simple fireplace, a few stones simply piled together, with wood burning inside and a black medicinal stove resting on top.
A cow sat by the fire, holding a bushel fan, reluctantly stirring the fire, and there was a medicinal fragrance that spilled out from the furnace.
But that yellow cow was not interested in the fragrance of the medicine, and its eyes were on the jade bed not far ahead.
It was because, on the jade bed, there were two women and three men sitting around playing poker.
“Pair of threes!”
“Pair of sixes!”
“Pair of twos, want one?”
“Ye Fan, we’re on the same team, and you’re still pressing me?”
….
The three of them were talking and laughing and having a good time.
“Hmph, just know how to bully me!”
“You guys play there and just make my old ox work!”
“On what grounds?”
“Especially that damned Ye Fan, why should you play with two girls and let me come here to burn the fire and boil the medicine?”
The more Huang Niu thought about it, the angrier he felt it was unfair.
The more the old bull thought about it, the sadder it became.
“No, I have to think of a way to make my old ox happy and happy too.”
“Right, I remember, over at the pharmacy, there is a prescription…”
The yellow ox seemed to remember something, and while Ye Fan and the others were having fun, it quietly slipped into a stone room.
Rummaging through the boxes it finally found that medicinal recipe that it treasured, and then followed the recipe to get those few herbs together.
Finally, Yellow Bull ran back to the fireplace, poured out all the medicine that was almost done cooking and put in the medicine he had found.
Just like that, under Ye Fan’s f*cking eyes, Huang Niu played a game and stole the beams.
“Is the medicine still not ready?”
“You dead cow, designated to be lazy again.”
“Be careful I’ll have Wan’er whip you!” Ye Fan’s side had already played several hands, but Huang Niu’s side hadn’t even gotten the medicine done yet.
Ye Fan couldn’t help but urge.
This medicine was specially prepared by Wan’er to build up the foundation and nourish the body, strengthen the capital and also help in cultivation.
Ye Fan drank it as water almost every day for them.
“Get lost!”
“You won’t get a share even if it’s cooked!”
Yellow Bull scolded in no good humour.
In the year since he had returned with Ye Fan, Huang Niu had not suffered much.
Even Wan’er had turned towards Ye Fan.
This made Huang Niu regret that he should not have fished Ye Fan out back then.
Back then, in that nuclear explosion, Huang Niu’s horns had been blown off several times, and all the hair on his body was missing, so he fought for his life to bring Ye Fan back.
When she saw Huang Niu and the others, Wan Er was stunned.
One should know that the yellow ox was still yellow when he left here.
When this came back, the hair had turned black!
But fortunately, after a year of conditioning, the yellow cow’s hair grew back and half of the broken horns were born.
At the yellow cow’s resentment, Ye Fan shook his head and laughed, then went on to play cards.
This year, for Ye Fan, should be the most peaceful year.
Apart from cultivating day after day, it was to play cards with An Qi and Wan Er.
He had to keep them company, otherwise being stuck here for a long time would suffocate them.
Anqi and Wan’er are both fun-loving people.
After another while, Huang Niu finally finished boiling the medicine.
It poured the medicine into a cup, and then carried it over with a wicked smile on its face.
“Wan’er, Qiqi, come, drink the medicine.”
Huang Niu had an attentive face.
“Where’s mine?” Ye Fan inquired.
“Get lost, none of your business!” With a hoof, the yellow bull kicked Ye Fan aside.
“This dead cow!”
Ye Fan laughed bitterly helplessly.
Forget it, one less drink one less meal.
Ye Fan was also too lazy to meet with the yellow cow.
“Wan’er, Anqi, I’m going to go cultivate first.”
Ye Fan stood up and returned to the secret room to continue his cultivation.
Anqi’s health was getting weaker by the day, so apart from taking a small amount of time to spend with her, Ye Fan spent the rest of his time cultivating hard, not daring to slow down for a moment.
“Go and get going, you don’t need to worry about this side.”
Huang Niu couldn’t wait to push Ye Fan away.
This action of the old bull made Ye Fan a little suspicious.
This dead cow, he didn’t know what bad things were brewing in his stomach again.
However, Ye Fan was not worried.
As this dead cow was strong, but Wan Er was by no means soft and weak.
The amount of this dead cow wouldn’t dare to do anything out of line.
So, Ye Fan left this place and returned to the secret room where he was cultivating.
Ten months had passed since the siege of him by the God Ranking giants back then.
It would soon be almost a year.
There was no telling what the Earth was like, now.
“Let’s hope that, the kind of situation that Grandma Tai spoke of, doesn’t occur.”
Although Ye Fan wanted to go out and take a look right now, but he had not yet become a god realm, and An Qi’s one year was the end of her life expectancy was about to come to an end.
In this situation, how could Ye Fan care about anything else.
“Don’t want to.”
“In the last two months, no matter what, I must break through to the God realm as soon as possible!”
Ye Fan shook off his head, shaking off all those complicated thoughts.
However, just as Ye Fan was about to enter his cultivation state.
Outside, there was a sudden boom.
Ye Fan was startled and went out to check.
Immediately afterwards, he saw that the yellow cow turned into a cannonball and flew straight out in front of him.
Rumble…
Crashing through several stone walls in quick succession, he was finally buried inside the rubble by the shattered stones and passed out on the spot.
“This… What’s wrong with this?”
The corners of Ye Fan’s mouth twitched fiercely.
This stone wall, which Ye Fan hadn’t even pierced with his full strength back then.
But now, it had been smashed straight through.
Just as Ye Fan was trembling in shock, several soul-crushing cries suddenly came from ahead.
“Ye Fan, I… I’m so hot …”
“Wan’er, it’s so uncomfortable…”
….
Ye Fan’s heart trembled when he heard that, and he turned around violently.
And then, he saw in front of him, charming as a peach blossom, with a flushed pretty face, two stunning women.
“Subtle!”
“That dead cow, what the hell did he do?”
Ye Fan’s eyelids jumped suddenly and he cursed in his heart.
