**Chapter 2078: Dual Divine Sons**

Yun Che circled around the entire training space, feeling immensely satisfied in his heart.

Although this place was protected by the true supreme-ruler barrier personally constructed by Meng Kong Chan, he still separated a wisp of his soul to attach to the barrier at the entrance, just to be safe.

The Profound Array.

Then, he took out the Qiankun Divine Stone, its red light flickering as he unfolded a crimson mist deep within the sea of fog, completely hidden within the Qiankun Array’s core. Following this, Yun Che’s figure slowly stepped out from within.

The dense abyssal dust filled every corner of the space, starkly different from the realm of the Divine Kingdom, resembling another world akin to a gray abyss.

As he scanned his surroundings, Yun Che murmured, “Very good. I was a bit worried that the distance would be too far to complete the teleportation. The Qiankun Array stone and core are indeed remarkable.”

As long as the distance does not exceed the limit, the Qiankun Divine Stone can teleport to the location of the Qiankun Array core at any time. However, there was a significant flaw for Yun Che: when the teleportation array was activated, the Qiankun Divine Stone had to remain in place and could only be retrieved after the teleportation was completed. If someone approached at that moment, they would notice it immediately.

But now, with a training space uniquely his own, isolated by the power of the true supreme-ruler, the possibility of being detected was virtually eliminated.

The sea of fog was the most suitable place for his training.

As he released his supreme sense and let his thoughts flow, a pair of enormous gray eyes slowly opened in the dark space ahead.

The Abyssal Lin supreme-ruler, intact and unharmed.

In this sea of fog, even someone as powerful as Hua Qing Ying would find it nearly impossible to kill it.

With his current affinity for abyssal dust, controlling the supreme-ruler-Destruction Abyss Beast was already his limit. Controlling this ancestral Lin supreme-ruler was purely an unexpected outcome from receiving the Lin supreme-ruler’s inheritance. However, as his ability to harness abyssal dust gradually increased, he believed that one day, he would be able to command all the supreme-ruler-Extreme Abyss Beasts deep within the sea of fog under his “banner.”

…

But that was still too far away. For now, he must first solidify his position in the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom.

Not lingering in the sea of fog for too long, he entered the Qiankun Array core and returned to the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom, putting away the Qiankun Divine Stone.

Yun Che took out several Abyss Crystals, placing the Qiankun Divine Stone within them. Then, he covered them with both hands, silently activating the void laws. The power within the Abyss Crystals overflowed toward the Qiankun Divine Stone at an incomprehensible rate. Instantly, the crimson supreme light of the Qiankun Divine Stone, which had dimmed, became vibrant at a visible speed.

“When Mei Yin handed me this Qiankun Divine Stone, her greatest concern was its energy replenishment,” Yun Che said softly. “The power contained within the Abyss Crystals is extremely high, surpassing all supreme stones and crystals in the Divine Realm, and can directly serve as the energy source for the Qiankun Divine Stone, eliminating the most pressing issue.”

With a space deemed absolutely safe, and the power consumption of the Qiankun Divine Stone no longer a concern…

Thus, Yun Che could freely traverse between the sea of fog and the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom at any time.

Before long, the radiance of the Qiankun Divine Stone had returned to its original state. Yun Che did not leave but directly sat down on the ground in the training space, closing his eyes to rest… Yet, it was clear that his heart was in turmoil, undoubtedly deep in thought and planning something.

He was completely oblivious to the fact that the entire Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom was in a state of continuous upheaval due to the return of “Dream See Abyss.”

In the Zhe Tian Divine Kingdom.

Hua Fu Chen stood before a flickering profound light. As a profound array unfolded, Meng Kong Chan’s laughter resonated, shaking the ears of Hua Xin Shen Zun.

Ah!

“Hahahaha! Brother Fu Chen, I owe you a huge favor!”

This abrupt statement left Hua Fu Chen confused. “What do you mean by that?”

As the projection gradually became clearer, he noticed that Meng Kong Chan was beaming with joy, his mouth half-curved in a smile. He had only seen the Undreaming Divine Sovereign in such a state when he visited the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom a hundred years ago to congratulate the birth of Dream See Abyss.

“My Abyss… my Abyssal son has returned!”

The piercing gaze from the projection of Meng Kong Chan was filled with an unusual intensity, and his voice was laced with unrestrained excitement.

The abnormality in his eyes and emotions, coupled with the disjointedness of his previous statement… Hua Fu Chen frowned, perplexed. “Abyssal son? Are you referring to… the Dream See Abyss you lost a hundred years ago?”

“Exactly!!” Meng Kong Chan nodded vigorously. “He is alive, he has returned! He is currently within the kingdom, in the Divine Son Hall specially built for him back then.”

Hua Fu Chen was astonished, then sincerely congratulated, “I see, no wonder Brother Meng is so excited. To regain what was lost is indeed a great fortune in life.”

“Now that he has returned, the events of that year will naturally come to light. So, who was it that struck the fatal blow back then?”

Meng Kong Chan shook his head. “I don’t know. Because Abyssal son has no memories from before his disappearance; it seems his soul was injured during that calamity. If not for being saved by his ‘master,’ he would have perished a hundred years ago.”

No memories from before… a hundred years ago… a master…

Hua Fu Chen suddenly froze.

Adding to Meng Kong Chan’s nonsensical first sentence…

Hua Xin Shen Zun’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he blurted out, “Wait! The Abyssal son you regained, it can’t be… could it be…”

“Hahahaha!” Meng Kong Chan, already in a good mood, was amused by Hua Fu Chen’s rare expression. “That’s right, that’s right! The Yun Che you sent personally with Qing Ying is indeed my Abyssal son, who has been lost for a full hundred years! So, I truly owe you a… tremendous favor!”

“!!” Hua Fu Chen, who was originally seated, suddenly stood up, his eyes widening as he stared at the projection of Meng Kong Chan, momentarily speechless.

“Hahaha, your reaction is also quite rare.” Meng Kong Chan chuckled. “However, when I applied the Dream Weaving technique on him and realized he was my son, my reaction was ten times more intense than yours.”

Hua Fu Chen slowly sat back down, his voice somewhat dazed. “Such a… bizarre occurrence.”

“Bizarre?? Or perhaps it is fate. Heaven has not been unkind to me, Meng Kong Chan, nor has it wasted my countless prayers over the past century.”

The smile on Meng Kong Chan’s face never faded. “I was previously puzzled about what kind of young man could make Cai Li so infatuated, to the point of disregarding her commitments and even defying the Divine Nine. It turns out he is my son! How reasonable that is, hehehe!”

These two supreme sovereigns, who appeared imposing before outsiders, were like carefree youths when together, speaking without restraint and full of vigor.

Hua Fu Chen’s mouth twitched slightly, and he said bitterly, “What are you so proud of? This kid was chosen by Cai Li herself, and I was the one who sent him. You are merely reaping the benefits!”

“Hey, right, right, right! Brother Fu Chen, you are right about everything today!” Amidst the laughter, Meng Kong Chan’s gratitude was genuine. “Brother Fu Chen, this tremendous favor, I will remember it. In the future, if you have any requests… even if it costs me half my head, I will not hesitate.”

“Ha!” Hua Fu Chen scoffed. “I know exactly what nonsense is in your head; what use would it be? By the way… have you completed that task I asked you to do? I warned you not to show favoritism just because he is your son.”

“This… I suppose I owe you one.” Meng Kong Chan said, “Once I discovered he was my son, I immediately stopped the Dream Weaving.” Our Dream Weaving lineage has a rule: we cannot ‘sink into dreams,’ and absolutely must not apply Dream Weaving techniques on our kin.”

This point was well known in the Abyss.

“However, my inclination towards Abyssal son is clearly unnecessary.” Meng Kong Chan’s smile turned serious. “Brother Fu Chen, if a person without roots or power suddenly learns that he is the son of a supreme sovereign, what would his reaction be?”

Hua Fu Chen replied, “Ecstatic, as if reborn.”

“Exactly.” Meng Kong Chan nodded, then continued, “But when I personally told Abyssal son about his identity, he not only did not react with joy, but instead showed some indifference and resistance. Even now, he refuses to accept the identity of ‘Dream See Abyss,’ insisting on calling himself ‘Yun Che,’ because his life and name were given to him by his ‘master.’ Until he recovers his memories, he will not abandon his ‘master.'”

At this point, there was a hint of regret in Meng Kong Chan’s words, but also a sense of pride. “My Abyssal son values emotions, righteousness, and promises to such an extent that your concerns are simply absurd!”

After saying this, he added in his heart: It is simply an insult to my Abyssal son!

“Hmph!” Hua Fu Chen scoffed lightly. “You are indeed biased towards your son.”

Though he said this, a smile could not help but appear at the corner of his mouth. Meng Kong Chan was right; such loyalty and disregard for profit were rare among men. Moreover, he had previously risked his life to save Cai Li and had unhesitatingly stayed in the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom for her… Perhaps he was indeed overly cautious and worried.

Yun Che… was actually the Dream See Abyss who had been missing for a hundred years, the son of Meng Kong Chan.

His heart was in a continuous tumult, far from the calm it appeared.

“Favoring my son is the same as favoring your son-in-law!” Meng Kong Chan said with a smile. “Speaking of Cai Li, no wonder she is liked wherever she goes. Just based on her vision, there is no one in the Six Divine Kingdoms who can compare to her…”

“Enough, enough.” Hua Fu Chen could no longer bear it and waved his hand. “You know full well the troubles behind this matter. Since Yun Che is your son, you should think carefully about how to properly handle this with me.”

Meng Kong Chan’s smile faded, and he sighed lightly. “Although those two children have come together on their own, we ultimately owe an apology to the old palace. However, given our years of friendship… At worst, we can go to him together and bow a few times; we did that when we were young, so I don’t believe he will remain angry.”

“If only it were that simple.” Hua Fu Chen said, “This is not just about him; it concerns the dignity of the entire Sen Luo Divine Kingdom and the authority of the Pure Land.”

“Since Yun Che is Dream See Abyss, this matter will naturally be much easier, but it still cannot be treated lightly. Especially since the two children are still inexperienced… Everything should wait until we meet with the Pure Land.”

Meng Kong Chan did not add anything further and slowly nodded. “Alright, we will proceed as you say. Before that, I will give Abyssal son an identity worthy of Cai Li.”

Hua Fu Chen’s brows moved slightly. “Could it be… you want him to be a Divine Son?”

Meng Kong Chan did not deny it, his gaze subtle.

Hua Fu Chen shook his head. “This move is unwise.”

“I understand your meaning.” Meng Kong Chan smiled casually. “If I were to elevate Abyssal son above the others, it would indeed be inappropriate. So… why not follow your Zhe Tian Divine Kingdom’s example from back then and establish dual Divine Sons?”

“This…” Hua Fu Chen pondered briefly. “This move may be fraught with difficulties.”

Meng Kong Chan said, “Jian Xi has both skill and ambition, and her influence has spread across much of the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom. Abyssal son has just returned, and he naturally cannot compare to her. However, I will protect Abyssal son and shield him from all pressures, after all, this Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom is still under my command.”

“No,” Hua Fu Chen smiled faintly. “I actually think you might as well let him face these pressures himself… Perhaps he will surprise you greatly.”

“Oh?” Meng Kong Chan’s eyes sparkled with interest. He knew Hua Fu Chen well enough not to be a person who spoke without purpose. “Please elaborate.”

“If I explain it all, there will be no surprise, will there?” Hua Fu Chen wore a mysterious smile, then directly changed the subject. “Is there still no clue about the person who secretly harmed Dream See Abyss back then?”

At the mention of this matter, Meng Kong Chan’s brows instantly furrowed.

He shook his head, filled with deep helplessness. “There are many people I can suspect… but suspicion is like a seed of evil; once planted, judgment will be unconsciously swayed, and all traces found will uncontrollably lean towards it. Therefore, until I find concrete evidence, I cannot suspect anyone.”

“However, since Abyssal son has returned safely, once he regains his memories, the person from back then will naturally surface.”

Meng Kong Chan’s words carried a heavy tone of resentment.

He hated the one who secretly harmed Dream See Abyss to the bone.

“Enough, let’s not speak of such ominous matters.” Meng Kong Chan’s smile returned. “Quickly tell this news to Cai Li. If I can’t give birth to such a daughter, then snatching her as a daughter-in-law is also quite delightful, hahahaha!”

“Too late.” Hua Fu Chen said, “Just three hours ago, Cai Li entered the Seven Star Zhe Tian Array.”

“What!?” Meng Kong Chan’s brows furrowed deeply.

“This was her own choice.” Hua Fu Chen sighed. “Her decision stems partly from not wanting to endure the sorrow of separation from that boy, and mostly for their future.”

…

Meng Kong Chan was stunned for a while, then let out a somewhat absent-minded murmur: “If I had Abyssal son’s abilities, I wouldn’t have been so embarrassed in front of Qing Ying back then.”

“Ha!” Hua Fu Chen scoffed. “Your heart isn’t dead yet?”

“The more one cannot obtain something, the more it haunts the soul.” Meng Kong Chan sighed with a sense of resignation. “Even after becoming a Divine Sovereign, I still cannot escape this obsession.”

“Unnecessary lamentations!” Hua Fu Chen scoffed. “Since Yun Che is your son, then invest more resources in him. Tell him that if he wants to break the greatest pressure between him and Cai Li, he must grow quickly and then… surpass the Divine Nine!”

After a long time.

The projection faded, and Hua Fu Chen stood silently in the Sword Pavilion for a long while.

He let out a long breath, the pressure that had been weighing on his chest for some time suddenly lightened significantly.

Yun Che is the son of Meng Kong Chan… and he is about to be granted the title of Divine Son of the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom.

Thus, Yun Che’s identity would no longer be that of a rootless and powerless mortal, but rather the Divine Son of the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom, a match for Hua Cai Li!

In this way, the pressures from the Sen Luo Divine Kingdom and the Abyssal Emperor would no longer be faced solely by the Zhe Tian Divine Kingdom, but rather together with the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom.

That would be a completely different situation, and the pressure would be reduced manifold!

“Wonderful.” He sighed with great relief. “I hope these two children will be favored by fate and ultimately reap good results.”

Meng Kong Chan’s decision to establish Yun Che as another Divine Son of the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom truly astonished Hua Fu Chen.

But what he did not expect was that just as the two finished their projection, a message, declared by the Undreaming Divine Sovereign himself, like a thunderclap splitting the sky, exploded throughout the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom and all its affiliated territories:

The Undreaming Divine Sovereign would bestow the title of “Divine Son” upon the safely returned Dream See Abyss, alongside Meng Jian Xi, as the Divine Sons of the Dream Weaving Divine Kingdom.

And the date of the ceremony was set for just seven days later!

The intensity of this decision and the depth of his feelings left everyone stunned, unable to believe for a long time.
