Age of Evolution

At the entrance to the house, two Constant Star Stage guards immediately saluted Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen waved his hand and immediately went in.

Ling’er followed closely behind. Although Sky City was not small, Ling’er, with her Satellite Stage realm, was able to easily catch up with Lin Zhen using instantaneous movement.

Lin Zhen entered the house with Ling’er.

Having not returned for over a year, the courtyard was filled with lush green grass and colorful flowers. As the residence of the lord, this was the best location and courtyard in Sky City.

As soon as Lin Zhen entered the courtyard, he stopped in his tracks.

That was because he saw Su Mingyue standing prettily in the courtyard, holding a little baby in her arms, smiling brightly as she looked at Lin Zhen.

“Ming Yue! How did you come out?”

Lin Zhen had not seen Su Mingyue for a long time and missed her very much. He strode over in two or three steps, embracing his soft and fragrant wife in his arms.

“Because we have a psychic connection, I felt uneasy just now and sensed that you seemed to be coming back. I couldn’t sit still in the room, so I came out to wait for you. Sure enough, you came in.”

Lin Zhen held his wife’s lovely face in both hands and gave her a deep kiss.

“Lin Zhen, look at our child. You haven’t seen her since she was born.”

Lin Zhen looked down and saw that in the swaddling cloth, a beautiful little baby was staring at him with clear, big eyes.

The child was very beautiful, with tender eyes and lips, and looked more like Su Mingyue.

“A little girl?”

“Yes, she’s a little sister, but you can’t dislike her. An Ning has given birth to two sons for you. Having a little sister is just right.”

“How could I dislike her? I’m not even done liking my own child… You said An Ning gave birth to two sons?”

“Yes, they are twins, both boys, and very naughty.”

Lin Zhen could only feel happiness flooding his heart. Now he had everything – two sons and a precious daughter.

“Let’s go, my wife. Let’s go in and see my two sons. Haha, I have both sons and daughters now!”

Just as he was about to lead Su Mingyue into the house, she stopped and looked back at Ling’er behind Lin Zhen.

“This young lady… ”

As a Meteor Stage Peak, Su Mingyue had keen eyesight and immediately noticed that this fairy-like young girl was actually a true young girl, so she didn’t feel as much resistance towards her.

After all, no wife waiting for her husband to return would be happy to see him bring back a beautiful woman.

Especially since this elf-like young girl had an incredibly stunning beauty, which made Su Mingyue, who had always been the most beautiful woman on Earth, feel a sense of crisis.

Lin Zhen gave an embarrassed smile: “This is Ling’er. She’s had a hard life. I saved her and decided to treat her as a sister, so I brought her back.”

“Oh, then welcome, Ling’er. Come on in.”

Ling’er had also been watching Su Mingyue, thinking that this woman was so beautiful and gentle, and that only a woman like her could be worthy of Brother Lin.

However, when comparing age, Ling’er was much older than Su Mingyue.

It’s not fair to compare an elf girl who only becomes an adult at the age of one hundred.

Ling’er went forward and greeted Su Mingyue. Su Mingyue’s keen intuition allowed her to sense the purity and kindness in the girl. As a result, her hostility towards Ling’er faded. She took Ling’er’s hand and went into the house together.

At this point, the family had heard that Lin Zhen was back and they all gathered at the entrance.

Lin Zhen hugged his parents and then kissed his wife An Ning. After that, he picked up his two sons and couldn’t stop smiling.

Among the strong people in the universe, having many children is common. However, Lin Zhen didn’t envy that. He only needed a few children, and now he had enough – two sons and a daughter.

Both boys were half a year old and looked very beautiful and healthy. When Lin Zhen held their little hands, they were very strong. They should also be martial arts geniuses in the future.

Ling’er gave out the gifts she prepared, which made the family gradually accept her.

Most importantly, everyone could see that Ling’er and Lin Zhen had nothing between them, which made things much easier.

In addition to Lin Liye, Li Qin, An Ning, Su Mingyue, and the two children, there were two Angel Clan girls, the An Qier sisters, who each stayed behind to take care of An Ning and Su Mingyue. They all got along like sisters and were very happy.

Lin Zhen sat on the sofa with his arms wide open, holding one son in each arm, cradling his daughter in his lap, never getting enough of looking at them.

“Lin Zhen, our children still don’t have their full names. You should name them.” An Ning, who had become all the more glamorous after giving birth, now had a maternal glow.

Lin Liye also nodded: “Yeah, you’ve been gone for over a year, and it’s hard to decide on names for our children. We’ve been waiting for you. We can’t contact you normally.”

Lin Liye had also advanced to a Level Eight War God, while Li Qin had become a Sixth-Level War God. Although they were taking care of the children, they did not neglect their cultivation. In order to witness the growth of the third generation, they also needed to work hard on their cultivation, as Lin Zhen had said, to continue their happiness.

Lin Zhen thought for a moment: “I don’t expect my children to be like me. That path is too difficult. But I want them to be safe. My eldest son will be called Lin Ping, and my second son will be called Lin An.”

The parents and wives all nodded slightly in agreement, as this was exactly what they wanted.

The most important thing was to ensure the children’s safety.

“What about our daughter?” asked Su Mingyue.

“My daughter… My dear daughter is so beautiful. She will surely be as charming and lovely as her mother in the future. Let’s call her Mei’er. I will protect my children and ensure that they grow up healthy.”

The names of the three children were settled, and the entire family was overjoyed.

When they got back home, Lin Zhen was in a great mood. “Everyone is so happy today, so I want the people of my Sun Territory to share this happiness. Let it be known: there will be no taxes in the Sun Territory for three years, and the salaries of all those with job positions will double, without any future cuts.”

Lin Liye was shocked, “Lin Zhen, don’t be reckless. Do you know how much money that will cost? Our finances may not be that substantial.”

“Dad, don’t worry about it. As their Lord, I have a duty to make the lives of my people happy. I’ll handle the financial matters.”, Lin Zhen responded.

As of now, if Lin Zhen’s wealth were fully calculated, it would be enough to buy almost all of the Tianhe Empire. Slightly increasing the pay in a small territory would be a piece of cake for him.

Upon hearing the news, the Sun Territory erupted with joy.

Lin Zhen’s popularity increased significantly. Showing both benevolence and power was the way of a true king.

The family dinner was lively, with beautiful women making it a pleasant sight. Lin Zhen even got a bit drunk.

That night, he shared the bed with both of his wives, and after a wild celebration, An Ning and Su Mingyue, who were at the peak of the Meteor Stage, couldn’t get out of bed the next day.

After returning, Lin Zhen barely left his home. Every day, he spent time with his family, guiding his relatives’ cultivation and accompanying his growing children. He also offered some suggestions and requirements for the construction of the Sun Territory.

With Lin Zhen’s substantial financial support, the development of the Sun Territory progressed by leaps and bounds. The construction of the second Base City on Mars and the development of Jupiter officially began.

Lin Zhen also took the time to visit Hills Star, purchasing an army of 10,000 slaves, all of whom were Constant Star Stage masters. This significantly enhanced the security of his Solar System territories.

However, Lin Zhen knew that this was not true security.

Based on the current Sun Territory’s progress, even if a Black Hole Period were to come, it wouldn’t cause any significant change. But if a Star System Stage expert were to arrive, then the territory would truly be in danger.

No one could resist absolute strength.

That was why, every day when no one else was around, Lin Zhen practiced with the Heavenly Tool pocket watch. He spent eight hours a day in practice, equivalent to four full days of progress.

In this manner, every seven or eight days, Lin Zhen could devour the prepared metal once, increasing his realm of power.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zhen had risen from Satellite Level 7 to Planet Eighth-level!

Not only his realm, but Lin Zhen had also mastered the Mental Shock during this time wholly, allowing him to release it as casually as a regular mental shock. This would be his most significant ace up his sleeve.

The Sky Blue spiritual power made further progress, reaching 95% of its potential. It wasn’t far from its true peak.

However, at this point, Lin Zhen’s realm once again became stagnant.

His Body Realm was currently at Planet Eighth-level, and his second body reached Black Hole Middle Stage. His second body couldn’t immediately upgrade as it did before, since it was a Galaxy Beast bloodline.

A regular second body would have been increasingly left behind later on.

Also, Lin Zhen’s Dark Star power stagnated at the Primordial Era peak, and it couldn’t evolve to the Evident Universe as if it were missing something.

Although such strength was enough for a Lord in a low-level Civilization Universe Country, Lin Zhen knew the source of his crisis.

It was now autumn, and in five months, it would be New Year. Before the New Year, Xilanke might arrive. If Lin Zhen didn’t have the power to rival him, everything he had would be destroyed.

The autumn garden was full of fruit. The rare plants from the many planets of the Sun Territory could be found in Lin Zhen’s garden.

As Lin Zhen spent time cultivating his family members, their strength rose rapidly. Both of his wives entered the Comet Stage, while his parents successfully advanced to the Star Realm, taking the most crucial step.

The children grew quickly too. Unlike ordinary children, Lin Ping and Lin An could walk independently.

Little Lin Mei’er could crawl around and would occasionally blurt out the word “Daddy.”

Lin Zhen sat on a swing in the garden, gently rocking it, contemplating his next move.

To improve his realm, he needed many Cosmic Crystals to buy metal. To enter the Constant Star Stage, he was far from ready.

Unless his Dark Star Space evolved, but how could it?

“Beep Beep! Master, there’s someone calling you in the Dimensional Universe Space. It’s your friend Chen Fenglie,” the device suddenly said.

Lin Zhen’s interest piqued, it had been a while since he last talked to Chen Fenglie. He hadn’t made an appearance since Lin Zhen’s return and was said to be cultivating alone. Why would he suddenly make contact today?

In the Dimensional Universe Space, Chen Fenglie met Lin Zhen in a bar.

It had been a long time since they met, but Lin Zhen did not expect Chen Fenglie to be in such a sorry state.

Blood was all over his body, which was clearly after an intense battle and a loss. Chen Fenglie was already at Satellite Level 7, so Lin Zhen was surprised that he could still lose like this.

“Chen Big Brother, what happened? Did you go to a club without paying and got beaten up?” Lin Zhen joked.

“Lin, don’t tease me. Your policy has caused me some trouble. You remember the one about not allowing high-level martial artists to capture the Earth’s mutated beasts? It left the low-level martial artists to practice their skills, and now it’s created problems!” Chen Fenglie was somewhat anxious.
