Chapter 221: Chapter 220 [Go Wash Up and Sleep!!!]"The two characters for ’eternal life’ are too heavy, and they are too far from us, at least unattainable in the present age. Perhaps on other life-bearing planets, in other different civilizations, there could be stronger beings who have ventured further on the path of longevity," Zhang Yide said calmly. Ye Tianchen was stunned for a moment, lying on the wooden bed, touched by Zhang Yide’s words. He hadn’t expected that Zhang Yide, known as the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand in this life, had already surpassed ordinary people in his thinking. Most importantly, Zhang Yide’s insights on eternal life could compare with some of the supreme strong in the apocalypse. In the vast universe, there are many different civilizations in star systems, where extraordinary experts continually pursue the Longevity Skill—just as in modern society, many countries want to build spacecrafts to explore the mysteries of the stars. "Stop dreaming. In the entire universe, there may be people who have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but definitely no one with eternal life. Go to sleep!" Ye Tianchen chuckled and said. "How do you know?" Zhang Yide suddenly asked seriously, looking at Ye Tianchen. "That’s a secret that can’t be told!" Ye Tianchen shrugged his shoulders and fell asleep. Tonight’s conversation with Zhang Yide had a significant impact on Ye Tianchen, inevitably making him think more about the apocalypse. Tianchen had pursued eternal life, too, but in the apocalypse, whether it was the powerful from Ancient Martial Sects, the immensely powerful Superpower Users, or people and creatures with mutations, and even Demon Beasts and demons, unless one reached the realm of an Emperor-level Expert, it would be impossible to traverse the vast universe on individual strength alone, for they would only exhaust their power and perish. Only when reaching the Emperor Level Realm would everything be full of uncertainty—it was no exaggeration to say: One sword could control ten thousand miles, and upon a cloud, one could travel the eight wastelands! As a Divine-level Superpower User and Peak Expert in the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen had naturally thought about the Longevity Skill, but at that time, with his realm, he couldn’t see through more of the mysteries, nor could he grasp a higher understanding of nature and Taoism, so he rarely touched on this aspect. Zhang Yide, as the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand in this life, was a very formidable Ability User, breaking the stereotype of weak combat power among Healing Ability Users. With extremely advanced medical skills and the mastery of Gold Element Superpower Strong Skill, even if placed in the apocalypse, it would be enough to shake a region. Perhaps as the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand, Zhang Yide, who could extend the lifespan of founding leaders by twenty years, had done research on the path of longevity, and it wasn’t just talk. At this moment, in a villa district in Capital City where only the top dignitaries and prominent families of China could afford to live, there were only a handful of large villas, or rather, large estates. The perimeter was guarded by armed police, which spoke volumes about its powerful defense, a place ordinary people could absolutely not enter. The Ling family, a family with an absolutely pivotal position in the international business world, Ling Yuxun’s father was the president of the Overseas Chinese Business Association, a family with enormous business influence. The Ling family had deeply rooted development in M country to the point where it nearly affected the economy of many industries in M country. But in recent years, as the domestic situation improved, aided by the care from some of the key government leaders, Old Master Ling—Yuxun’s grandfather—still thought about returning to his roots. The wanderer from afar would inevitably return to the motherland’s embrace, gradually shifting the family’s economic focus back home. With this, two major business family giants emerged in the domestic business world. The first was the Su family; the Su family itself was the country’s number one business family, with extremely strong financial power—it went without saying. Otherwise, when Tianchen was taken into the police station and even killed someone there, if it weren’t for Su Feifei having her grandfather call Chen Sheng, Tianchen might have actually had to fight his way out of the police station. When it was learned that the Ling family was also moving back domestically, and had already gradually shifted their focus home, many business tycoons, including high-ranking government officials and even some big figures in both the legitimate and underworld, were extremely shocked. If the Ling family was to secure a foothold upon returning to the country, they would certainly make big moves, involving enormous interests. The key point was that many people wanted to see, in the end, which was more powerful—the Ling family or the Su family—inevitably, the two business giants would clash. Now, Ling Yuxun, her father, a younger brother, including some of her uncles, had already come back to the country, leaving only Yuxun’s grandfather still in M country. For one, because the Ling family’s major move of shifting their focus back to the country was a huge affair, requiring handling in many aspects. Secondly, the M country’s government had already noticed the Ling family’s intention to move back and had sent officials to discuss with Old Master Ling. Everyone knew that the M government was the most shameless. If the Ling family was determined to shift their economic center back home, M country’s government would likely adopt strong measures, as the loss to their government would be incalculable, something they would not allow. Old Master Ling staying in M country, in a sense, was to lull the M country’s government, while allowing Yuxun’s father to come back home and quickly proceed with some investment projects, to shift the economic center. Ling Yuxun and Old Lady Ku returned to the Ling family estate, and as they entered the grand hall, they saw her father, Ling Yue, sitting on the sofa, reading the Bao newspaper. The entire hall was empty except for Ling Yue, who seemed to be waiting for Yuxun. "Yuxun, come here, Dad wants to talk to you!" Ling Yue glanced at his daughter and said. "Dad, I’m really tired and I’m going to sleep, let’s talk about it tomorrow..." Ling Yuxun seemed to know what her dad was about to tell her, and seeing his serious expression, she just didn’t want to talk about it. "If we don’t talk now, I’ll have to take some tough measures, and then don’t blame me for interfering with your affairs!" Ling Yue said while looking at the newspaper, not at his daughter Ling Yuxun. Ling Yuxun glanced at her father Ling Yue, guessed what he was going to say, and she knew his personality—usually he could joke and play with her, and he had played with her when she was little, but ever since her grandfather stepped down from his position at the helm of the Ling family, her father Ling Yue became the one in charge of the formidable Ling family, and had to outwit some unfriendly uncles and brothers, so a certain level of authority was necessary. Therefore, whenever her father was being serious, Ling Yuxun no longer dared to act spoiled. Sitting across from her father Ling Yue, Ling Yuxun still smiled and asked, "Dad, what’s the matter?" Ling Yue did not answer immediately, but turned to Old Lady Ku and said, "From today on, Yuxun will be under your watch, Old Lady Ku. Without my permission, she is absolutely not allowed to leave the house!" "Yes, Master," Old Lady Ku nodded and replied. "Dad, why... why would you..." Ling Yuxun suddenly looked at her father with some anger. "Yuxun, I want to tell you that associating with Ye Tianchen is neither a wise nor a good choice. The Ye family has already become a third-class family in the Capital City, and from all aspects, they can’t stand on equal terms with our Ling family. There is no future for you and Ye Tianchen!" Ling Yue continued to read the newspaper and said with an emotionless face. "Dad, so what? Our Ling family and the Ye family used to live in the same small alley, at that time neither family had any power or authority. Why does it have to be like this, why can’t it be like before? Besides, my association with Ye Tianchen doesn’t mean we have to be together, can’t we even be ordinary friends?" Ling Yuxun said with some reluctance and dissatisfaction.

"Whether it’s ordinary friends or if you have fallen for Ye Tianchen, I won’t allow you two to associate with each other, because you are simply not people from the same world. Just give up on this idea!" Ling Yue said sternly. "Dad, why are you being so unreasonable?" Tears almost came out of Ling Yuxun’s eyes; she had not expected her father, who was always very wise and loving towards her, to become so utterly irrational. Ling Yue glanced at Ling Yuxun and put down the newspaper. She was his most beloved daughter; she had been well-behaved and sensible since she was young and her academic performance was always very good. She had always been the pride of Ling Yue, and he did not want to talk to his daughter like this, as it could hurt their father-daughter relationship. However, this time, the matter with Ye Tianchen had become a major issue. Perhaps ordinary people did not know yet and it did not concern them, but the powerful families and forces understood that a major and violent incident that could shake both the underworld and the overworld of the country was about to occur. The young scion of Dragon Rise, a mysterious figure with immense personal strength and a huge backing, had set his sights on Ye Tianchen and was preparing to declare war on him. If Ye Tianchen collided with the young scion of Dragon Rise, the outcome would be far more intense than the overnight downfall of the Qin and Luo families, with total destruction. This was precisely what Ling Yue was worried about. He feared his daughter would be implicated by Ye Tianchen, feared that it would hinder the Ling family’s return to development within the country, and cause their efforts to come to naught. "Yuxun, Ye Tianchen has become a person in the eye of the storm, and the Ye family has long become a third-class family. Ye Tianchen has offended too many powers and people, and this time it’s the mysterious young scion of Dragon Rise, someone even I don’t know how powerful he is. If the powerless Ye Tianchen, who lacks a strong background, is believed to survive the confrontation with the young scion of Dragon Rise, I don’t think anyone would believe it. Even if he has some skills, he is just one person, how could he withstand the confrontation with so many powerful forces?" Ling Yue directly voiced his concerns, wanting his daughter Ling Yuxun to understand that Ye Tianchen was in an extremely perilous situation with no backing or support, and was almost certainly doomed, making it pointless to associate with him, only to needlessly get dragged into the consequences.
