Connected in a Bizarre Way

After killing the Saint Race Expert, Baek Ain didn't have much change in his expression—mainly indifference toward the death of the so-called tyrant and deep longing for his wives' presence.
In the Heavenly Fire Prison Realm, Zhang Hansen witnessed Baek Ain killing Saint Race Expert like nothing. His mouth twitched because this was an unprecedented achievement one could reach in this era.
Baek Ain is a peak Divine-Dwelling Realm, yet he could instant-kill a Nascent Origin Realm Expert.
And this is not your ordinary Nascent Origin Realm Expert.
Zi Mo is from two generations below Zhang Hansen. Although he wasn't the strongest Saint Race Expert, his name is well known in the Heaven Genesis World.
Many people believed Zi Mo could reach the Law Domain Realm in ten years and the Saint Realm in another five hundred years.
But here Zi Mo was, perished under the hand of an unknown young man.
It wasn't even a respectable kind of death.
It was instant!
Zhang Hansen patted his forehead and sighed helplessly, "It seems I've picked myself a monstrous inheritor."
"However, this is also good."
"With his lead, humanity would thrive and reach a higher peak."
"Better than when I'm still protecting Sixth Heaven, for sure."
A smile formed on Zhang Hansen's face because he couldn't wait for that to happen.
Unfortunately, Zhang Hansen has long perished. All left was a wisp of soul that barely could hold itself together.
"Hey, take me back! It is cold here!" Baek Ain's annoyed voice rang.
"Maybe I'm expecting too much..." Zhang Hansen's mouth twitched.
He snapped his finger and summoned Baek Ain back to the throne room, observing him from top to bottom.
"Hey, I have a question." Zhang Hansen blinked his eyes.
"Tell me, then." Baek Ain stretched lazily. He used too much force earlier and turned the target into blood dust before he could loot any precious materials, including spatial rings or blood.
What a shame.
Zhang Hansen smiled, "Answer me honestly."
"Do you have a connection with a realm beyond the Heaven Genesis World and the Great Thousand World?"
"Strictly speaking... Yes." Baek Ain answered as a matter of fact. It's not like Zhang Hansen could reach those higher-dimensional universes.
We are talking about the Goddess of Opportunity and many other high-level Constellations.
Fortunately, the Goddess of Opportunity sponsored Baek Ain and allowed him to grow safely in the BTTH alternative world.
Zhang Hansen nodded, "That explains many weird things about you."
'What do you mean by weird...' Baek Ain kept stretching.
He's still not used to this rapid increase in strength.
He converted his Dou Qi to Genesis Qi a few hours ago.
And now, Baek Ain experienced another boost of strength. His Genesis Qi stars reached 1,7 billion units, the immense amount no one could attain in the Heaven Genesis World.
Unknown to Baek Ain, his 'extremely' solid foundation and accumulation as a Dou Qi Practitioner also played a vital role in these boosts.
Dou Qi might be weak, but it was a good foundation building.
Zhang Hansen glanced at Baek Ain and smirked, "I won't be asking any personal questions, but I am curious about something."
"As far I know, my crown has long been destroyed into pieces."
"How did you get the pieces and merge them perfectly?"
Baek Ain tilted his head, starting to think of a reason.
He opened his mouth and answered, "I'm a Refining Master."
"I stumbled upon an Ancient Refining Smithery and found an Ancient Refining Technique there. I have been learning it ever since."
Zhang Hansen's eyes widened as his soul body trembled slightly. He looked at Baek Ain with fondness now.
"I see..." Zhang Hansen smiled slightly.
"It seems we are really fated."
"Kid, what's your connection with the Yin-Yang Orchid Clan?"
Baek Ain frowned and answered straightforwardly, "Orchid Ancestor is my wife."
"Well, her reincarnation is my wife." He briefly recounted nearly everything.
Zhang Hansen stared at Baek Ain and laughed with tears, "Hahaha, this is getting more interesting than I thought."
"Lan Mengyun really did it, huh?"
"She's still wishing for my arrival to this very day."
"Sad... So sad."
"I, Fire Emperor, couldn't keep my promise to my only lover in the old world."
Zhang Hansen gazed at the distance and let out a rueful sign.
After reaching Heaven's Genesis World, Zhang Hansen was busy getting more powerful and only remembered Dou Qi Continent occasionally when he was in a life-and-death situation.
Even though Zhang Hansen said Lan Mengyun, the old ancestor of the Yin-Yang Orchi Clan, was his only lover in the Dou Qi Continent, the truth is much more bitter than that.
Zhang Hansen was an orphan. He has no family, no friends, and zero relationships.
Yet Zhang Hansen was blessed with blinding talent.
That's until he met an ordinary-looking girl by a lake. She was frail, having not a single ounce of Dou Qi in her body.
She's Lan Mengyun.
Zhang Hansen and the girl become closer and eventually marry each other.
But then, the Dou Gods, in the lead of the Tou She Ancient God, shattered the hole in the Dou Qi Plane's realm.
Dou Gods start advancing to a higher plane, one after another.
At that moment, Lan Mengyun was already a century old. She doesn't want to burden Zhang Hansen and permits him to go, even getting another wife if needed affection.
She knew Zhang Hansen's dream and goal.
Who would have thought the small clan they recklessly built would grow so big and even have its rise and down?
'Fate and Destiny really connect people in a bizarre way, huh?' Zhang Hansen relished the fact his past has thrived.
He gazed at Baek Ain and said, "Kid..."
"Don't call me that." Baek Ain frowned deeply.
"Haha~! What's your real name, then?" Zhang Hansen snorted. "No way in hell a brat like you named Lin Feng!"
Baek Ain squinted his eyes, pondering for a bit.
In the end, he gave up.
"Ain." Baek Ain answered calmly.
"No family name?" Zhang Hansen's eyes lit up.
Baek Ain shook his head gently, "You ask for my name. Not my full name."
"Touche." Zhang Hansen walked to a hidden compartment in the wall and grabbed some jugs.
"Here, take these jugs and pour the content on where you find the Ancient Refining Technique."
"That's very disrespectful to the dead, you know?"
"Shut up, and take the damn jugs!"
"Okay, okay, chill. Don't get worked up. You're already dead, and I don't want to be haunted by your ghost."
Baek Ain took the jugs and inhaled the fragrance out of instinct.
They were actually wines, peak quality ones.
Baek Ain cocked his eyebrow slightly in surprise but didn't question Zhang Hansen's intention.
"Well, it's time to leave." Zhang Hansen's soul body faded.
"You can access all my treasures and techniques in my treasury. The way to open them is the crown, so don't lose it."
"Also... I leave Heavenly Fire Prison Secret Realm, Blazed Roc Palace, and my descendants in the Blaze Roc Kingdom to you."
"Don't hesitate to give my descendants a spank if they dared to question your authority. This daddy isn't a pushover!"
"Okay, then... Goodbye, Kid."
"Humanity's fate is in your hands now." After saying that, Zhang Hansen's soul body shot into Baek Ain's head, giving him much new knowledge.
Baek Ain absorbed the knowledge for five minutes and sat on the throne with a tired look.
Zhang Hansen didn't just give him the inheritance but also knowledge about handling spears and fire elements.
Baek Ain wouldn't aimlessly follow Zhang Hansen's knowledge as they could only work as references.
He pressed his palms together and bowed, "May you rest in peace."
[Ding! The Sign In chance has refreshed]
[Do you want to Sign In?]
"Yes." Baek Ain grinned while leaning on his new throne.
"It is time to make some extra preparations."
