White World, Saint Spirit Village.
"Little Chuan!"
"This child, why is he so knowing of gratitude and reciprocation!"
"The most correct thing I, Old Jack, have done in my life is helping Little Chuan back when he was young!"
When seeing in the comparison video that Tang Chuan actually intended to take himself and Old Jerry together to ascend to the God Realm, Old Jack's eyes instantly turned red with emotion, and he was about to weep bitterly.
This was an opportunity to ascend to the God Realm and gain eternal life!
How precious!
Such a precious opportunity, yet Little Chuan still remembered him and the old woman.
He, Old Jack, was truly fulfilled in this life!
Truly fulfilled!
Black World, Saint Spirit Village.
When seeing in the comparison video that before his Ascension, Tang Chuan actually invited his White World self and his wife Old Jerry to ascend to the God Realm together, the Black Old Jack was also dumbfounded, simply unable to believe it.
This was an opportunity to ascend to the God Realm and gain eternal life!
Tang Chuan clearly could have given it to that Tang Xiao, to that Tang Yuehua, or to those other people.
But he actually gave it to his White World self and Old Jerry?
By what virtue or ability did his White World self deserve this!
And seeing that in the White World, Tang Chuan still remembered his White World self and Old Jerry, not hesitating to grant them the quotas to ascend to the God Realm, but looking back at his Black World?
That Tang San had even returned to Saint Spirit Village to live in seclusion, yet the only thing he did for Saint Spirit Village and himself, Grandpa Old Jack, was to change the name of Saint Spirit Village and re-erect a stone tablet.
What kind of repayment was this!
For a moment, the Black Old Jack only felt filled with grief and indignation.
Everything fears comparison!
And compared with Tang Chuan, this Tang San was simply killed in seconds into scum!
Back then, I should have ignored this brat and let him starve to death!
Otherwise, it wouldn't have bred an ungrateful wretch!
Some unknown primeval forest.
When seeing in the comparison video that Tang Chuan actually intended to take Old Jack and Old Jerry along to ascend to the God Realm, thinking back on what he had done to Grandpa Old Jack and Saint Spirit Village, Tang San's expression also became incomparably stiff, his face flushing red as he clenched his fists.
He only felt that his face was being slapped repeatedly with crisp sounds.
Yet regarding this, Tang San was filled with anger and unwillingness, not feeling that he had done anything wrong, and instead thinking Tang Chuan was simply unreasonable.
'What on earth is this Tang Chuan thinking!'
'This is an opportunity to ascend to the God Realm!'
'Whether you leave it to the eldest uncle or the aunt, wouldn't it be much better?'
'Why leave it to Grandpa Old Jack and Grandma Old Jerry!'
'Although they indeed helped you when you were young, this favor is simply not worth such repayment!'
'Moreover, they are just ordinary village elders; bringing them up to the God Realm simply doesn't match their status!'
As a firm feudalist, in Tang San's heart, a dragon's son should be a dragon, and a Phoenix's son should be a Phoenix, and only a mouse's son would dig holes!
Since Old Jack was a commoner, he should remain a commoner forever.
Being able to let him live a slightly better life was already a supreme benevolence!
And still wanting to cross classes, even ascending to the God Realm? Keep dreaming!
And Tang Chuan intending to take Old Jack and Old Jerry along to the God Realm, in Tang San's heart, was practically equivalent to trampling on the rules and was unforgivable!
The comparison video was still playing.
[Never did Old Jack expect that Tang Chuan would be willing to take him and his wife together to ascend to the God Realm and enjoy eternal life!]
[Old Jack widened his eyes in sheer disbelief, his lips trembling slightly, unable to speak for a long while.]
[This gesture deeply moved Old Jack.]
[Yet after a moment of silence, Old Jack ultimately shook his head slowly and sighed.]
["Little Chuan... Grandpa is very grateful to you. Even after becoming a god, you still remember Grandpa and are willing to take Grandpa to the God Realm to enjoy blessings."]
["However..."]
[A deep sense of attachment and reluctance flashed in Old Jack's eyes as he spoke softly.]
["Grandpa and the village have already received too much help from you."]
["Ascending to the God Realm is certainly great, but Grandpa still has sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters; my heart truly cannot let go of them!"]
["Therefore... Grandpa will not take up your quota."]
[Beside him, Old Jerry's eye sockets also turned red, and wiping the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, she chimed in as well.]
["Little Chuan, Grandma is very happy that you have this heart, truly very happy."]
["But a place like the God Realm... is not suitable for Grandma."]
["Grandma and your Grandpa Jack living in Saint Spirit Village is quite good."]
["Here, there are old friends we've known for a lifetime, every grass and tree we're familiar with, and our children will still come back to see us during festivals and holidays... Grandma is content."]
[Hearing this, Tang Chuan's heart was also filled with a myriad of complex emotions.]
[Of course he knew that the reason Old Jack and Old Jerry refused wasn't solely because they couldn't let go of their children.]
[They also didn't want to excessively occupy his precious Ascension quota.]
[After all, he only said he could bring four people, but the children of Old Jack and Old Jerry added up to more than four.]
[How could they have the cheek to ask Tang Chuan to bring along their own children as well?]
["Grandpa Jack, Grandma Jerry, you don't need to worry about the matter of quotas; I can..."]
[Tang Chuan wanted to persuade them further.]
[Yet Old Jack waved his hand, interrupting Tang Chuan's words with a very resolute attitude.]
["Little Chuan, you don't need to say anymore."]
["Grandpa knows you mean well, but Grandpa has already decided."]
["Grandpa is already very happy that you have this heart!"]
["Go on, work hard in the God Realm, and let those Divinities of the God Realm see that the child who walked out of our Saint Spirit Village is no worse than anyone else!"]
[Old Jerry also nodded repeatedly and said with a smile.]
["That's right, Little Chuan. Rest assured, we will take good care of ourselves."]
["If you have free time in the God Realm in the future, just come back to see us occasionally."]
[Since the two elders' attitude was so resolute, Tang Chuan found it difficult to force the matter further. After a moment of silence, he ultimately nodded, stood up, and bowed deeply to the two elders.]
["Grandpa Jack, Grandma Jerry, thank you for your care back then."]
["Without you, there would be no Tang Chuan of today."]
[In Tang Chuan's view, the people who helped him the most in his life were Grandpa Old Jack, Grandma Old Jerry, and Su Yuntao.]
[Among them, without the help of Old Jack and Old Jerry when he was young, he might have starved or worked to death long ago.]
[As for Brother Tao, he helped him get his first pot of gold, which was the hardest part!]
[Facing Tang Chuan's bowing salute.]
[Old Jack hurriedly stepped forward to help Tang Chuan up, patted Tang Chuan's shoulder, and laughed aloud.]
["Alright, alright, why be so polite with Grandpa!"]
["Go on, don't keep the big figures of the God Realm waiting anxiously!"]
[Tang Chuan stayed a bit longer to chat with the two elders before reluctantly bidding farewell and leaving.]
[After leaving Saint Spirit Village, Tang Chuan went to Nuoding City.]
[According to the new address he learned of, Tang Chuan arrived before the gates of a rather luxurious mansion.]
[This was the current residence of Su Yuntao.]
[Today's Su Yuntao was long no longer that ordinary Spirit Hall Branch master from back then.]
[With Tang Chuan's help, Su Yuntao had now become a prominent figure of high standing in Nuoding City.]
[Upon discovering that Tang Chuan had actually come to visit, Su Yuntao was stunned at first, and then filled with excitement and surprise. He hurriedly welcomed Tang Chuan through the doors, laughing loudly as he shouted.]
["Sisi! Quick! Brew tea! Bring out my most treasured good tea! Look who's here!"]
[Su Yuntao's wife, Sisi, hurried over upon hearing this. Seeing Tang Chuan, she was both surprised and delighted, and quickly went to brew a pot of fine hot tea to bring over.]
[The two sat down in the living room, and Su Yuntao pulled Tang Chuan to chat for a long time, talking about past events from back then to present life, conversing very happily.]
[After catching up, Tang Chuan also stated his purpose for coming.]
["Brother Tao, I am about to ascend to the God Realm soon."]
["In the future, I probably won't come back again."]
[Hearing this, the smile on Su Yuntao's face paused slightly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly adjusted, smiling as he patted Tang Chuan's shoulder and said.]
["Ascending to the God Realm! This is a supreme stroke of good fortune!"]
["Congratulations, Little Chuan!"]
[Looking at Su Yuntao, Tang Chuan also said earnestly.]
["Brother Yuntao, as a Divinity, I can bring four people to ascend to the God Realm."]
["Are you and sister-in-law Sisi willing to go to the God Realm with me?"]
["Upon reaching the God Realm, you can become spirit officials and enjoy eternal life."]
[Su Yuntao was stunned.]
[Never did he expect that his good brother Tang Chuan would be willing to take him and his wife together to ascend to the God Realm.]
[For a moment, Su Yuntao's heart was filled with emotion.]
[Yet thinking of his children.]
[Although he and Sisi could not be considered surrounded by children and grandchildren, they still had several children, as well as grandsons and granddaughters.]
[If he and Sisi went to the God Realm, what would happen to the children?]
[What's more, he had already received far too much help from Tang Chuan.]
[From that ordinary Spirit Hall deacon back then to the respected Spirit Saint living in a luxurious mansion today.]
[All of this was given by Tang Chuan.]
[He truly had no face to occupy Tang Chuan's precious Ascension quota once more.]
[Thinking of this, Su Yuntao took a deep breath, shook his head, and said resolutely.]
["Tang Chuan, I appreciate your good intentions."]
["But I cannot let go of the children, so I won't take up your quota."]
[Tang Chuan wanted to persuade him further, but Su Yuntao's attitude was even more resolute than Old Jack's, refusing to agree no matter what.]
[In the end, Tang Chuan could only sigh helplessly and no longer force the issue.]
[On the way back, Tang Chuan's mood was somewhat complex.]
[He hadn't expected that Old Jack and Old Jerry would refuse him, and Su Yuntao would also refuse him.]
[Neither of them could let go of their family members or the land that raised and nurtured them.]
[Yet even so, Tang Chuan made up his mind.]
[Since everyone was unwilling to abandon their family, he would forge a new path to longevity.]
[A path that did not require ascending to the God Realm, yet could still achieve eternal life in the mortal realm!]
