"Oh? Shennong? Is Shennong truly real?!" Old Master An, usually knowledgeable, was startled by the news An Yiqing shared.
"Of course!" An Yiqing nodded, seeing everyone’s puzzled looks and explained, "Actually, God Shennong was just a Martial Cultivator. However, he had reached Breaking Void to Divinity but could not break through to a higher level till his death. So, like everyone else, he fell into the cycle of reincarnation. Not just Shennong, in fact, all those ancient gods mentioned in legends were highly skilled Martial Cultivators who likely had reached the Breaking Void to Divinity level, accomplishing feats like moving mountains and plucking stars effortlessly."
After hearing An Yiqing’s explanation, An Family understood the so-called ancient gods and their knowledge of Martial Cultivators deepened.
"The world is vast and full of wonders. Even though we wield significant power, we are just a drop in the ocean," sighed Old Master An somberly, "People chase after power, fame, and wealth, yet they do not realize that there has already been a group of people who discarded these worldly items to explore more mystical things."
"Yes! Breaking Void to Divinity, throughout the ages, how many have truly reached this realm? It’s hard to imagine what such Martial Cultivators are like," An Zisheng said with a hint of anticipation.
"Well, I think some ancestors from the Ancient Martial Arts Families must have reached Breaking Void to Divinity, right? Grandpa Gu has already reached the Demigod Peak. Given time, I believe he could become a great god like Shennong," An Yiqing remarked.
For a while, An Family engaged in a lively discussion about the strength levels of Martial Cultivators and their cultivation insights and it continued until past ten at night before An Yiqing and Gu Yelin reluctantly left.
"Niuniu, Grandpa Bai’s birthday is in a few days. Have you prepared the gift?" Old Master An asked before they left.
"Um, don’t worry, Grandpa, everything’s ready," An Yiqing nodded obediently, "It’s very late today, you should all go to sleep early, goodnight Grandpa and Grandma."
The next morning, An Yiqing, holding her sore slender waist, gritted her teeth and grimaced as she climbed out of bed. After being apart for over half a month, Gu Yelin had completely turned into a wolf the previous night, tormenting An Yiqing until four in the morning before finally letting her rest.
As a result of such excess, An Yiqing didn’t get out of bed until past nine this morning.
"Really! I need to sleep in separate beds from Ah Lin!" An Yiqing grimaced as she dressed, muttering angrily.
At that moment, she was alone in the room; Gu Yelin’s side of the bed had already cooled, indicating he had left some time ago.
With legs slightly weak, An Yiqing staggered out of the bedroom and upon reaching the staircase, smelled the rich scent of food coming from downstairs.
Hmm... Ah Lin hadn’t left.
Moved, An Yiqing twitched her nose, her earlier complaints dissipating like smoke in the wind.
Struggling to hold onto the railing, An Yiqing staggered down the stairs, walked through the dining room, and approached the kitchen.
The kitchen door was tightly shut, but through the crystal glass, An Yiqing could clearly see Gu Yelin busily moving around inside.
Today, he wore a casual black outfit with sleeves casually rolled up over his muscular arms. Currently, Gu Yelin was bent over, focused on chopping vegetables on the counter.
