"Patriarch, our Lucas Family's power..." A Prime Realm cultivator of the Lucas Family spoke with red-rimmed eyes, his hands trembling as he spoke.
Luke Jowan nodded heavily. "Yes, from today onward, apart from myself and the Lucas Family ancestor who long ago left the Five Elements Universe, our Lucas Family no longer has any Third Step cultivators."
"Why?" Another Prime Realm cultivator asked, nearly crushing the space in his grip.
Luke Jowan spoke slowly and deliberately. "That man is Joe Di, most likely the strongest of the Di Family. Because someone from the Di Family killed four of our Lucas Family disciples during their trial, including Lucas Shaw, the last survivor of our ancestor's lineage. After our disciples were killed, we naturally sought out the culprit, which led to this man..."
"How arrogant! He killed our Lucas Family disciples, and even dared to come to Lucas Star and act so ruthlessly. Does he think our Lucas Family is powerless?" Another Prime Realm cultivator shouted angrily.
After the Second Genesis War, countless Lucas Family disciples went out for trials. Over the years, there have been countless incidents of outsiders offending Lucas Family disciples. Yet every time, the offending cultivator's family was wiped out. But today, things have been reversed.
Luke Jowan waved his hand, and when the hall quieted, he spoke slowly, "This grudge, our Lucas Family will surely repay. Not only will we take revenge, but we will also exterminate the Di Family, leaving not even a blade of grass behind. This time, to preserve the Lucas Family, I swore a blood oath. This oath can be undone by our family, using the Dao Sovereign Statue. Once I remove the blood oath, all Lucas Family disciples must immediately scatter and leave. From today onward, no more than thirty percent of Lucas Family disciples may reside on Lucas Star. Every departing disciple must cultivate the Bloodline Severance Divine Art..."
The Bloodline Severance Divine Art meant that anyone trying to track Lucas Family disciples by bloodline would find it impossible.
The hall was eerily silent. Hatred burned like wildfire, swirling around everyone and condensing in the hall.
The Lucas Family was born noble, inheritors of the Dao Sovereign. It had always been the Lucas Family destroying others—when had it ever been their turn to be destroyed?
Luke Jowan's tone softened a little. "Every Lucas Family disciple must avenge our family. Even if you can't kill Joe Di, you must wipe out the Di Family..."
"Wipe out the Di Family!" Roars erupted from the Lucas Star Hall.
Luke Jowan let out a long breath. If he couldn't kill every last member of the Di Family, then all his family's cultivation in this universe would be for nothing. No one should even think about killing a member of the Lucas Family...
Bang! A sudden explosion echoed, followed by a burst of blood mist.
Startled, Luke Jowan leapt into the void. He saw clearly—a Lucas Family disciple had just exploded on the spot.
Before Luke Jowan could figure out what was happening, several more explosions rang out. Multiple Lucas Family disciples detonated one after another, turning into blood mist. But this was only the beginning. Like a string of firecrackers, disciples in the hall began to explode in succession.
Overwhelmed by terror, many disciples finally fled the Lucas Star Hall. But even as they escaped, their bodies continued to explode into blood mist.
Luke Jowan's face was whiter than paper. His whole body trembled, his lips quivered. He finally realized his own stupidity—stupider than a pig.
Did Joe Di, such a peerless cultivator, really not see the flaw in the blood oath? Ninety-nine percent of people would never notice, but clearly, Joe Di was not among them.
"It's over. The Lucas Family is finished..." Luke Jowan muttered. Through his spiritual sense, he saw Lucas Family disciples self-detonating everywhere on Lucas Star.
Such a vicious technique, to embed this kind of cruelty into the blood oath he swore—Luke Jowan had been too foolish to even notice.
A sensation of bloodline collapse swept over him, and Luke Jowan could do nothing to resist. He sighed to the heavens, "The Lucas Family is finished. I, Luke Jowan, am the sinner of the Lucas Family..."
Bang! Luke Jowan's body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
......
Joe Di had already stopped. He set Quentin Di down and asked, "Where did your father go?"
Quentin Di shook his head. "I don't know. My father left as soon as I was born. He said he bore a deep blood feud and had to seek opportunities for cultivation, then return for revenge."
Joe Di fell silent, feeling sorrow for Quentin Di's mother. Clearly, Ethan Di married her only to pass on the Di Family bloodline. And Quentin's name was likely chosen to commemorate Ethan's former lover, Sylvia Qin. Ethan Di had truly gone too far.
"Brother Di... Big Brother Di, what realm is your cultivation at? The Lucas Family was like chickens and dogs before you." Quentin Di couldn't help but ask.
"I've just stepped into the Third Step. Your cultivation is too weak, and your techniques are lacking. If you hadn't met me, you might never have reached the Third Step in your life." Joe Di said to Quentin Di.
In fact, Joe Di was being optimistic. If Quentin Di hadn't met him, whether he could ever achieve Dao Forging was uncertain.
Quentin Di's eyes dimmed. "I know. After my father left, my mother and I wandered. She came from a family of wandering cultivators, with no real foundation. I only reached Immortal Sovereign because of my father's strong bloodline—otherwise, I wouldn't have even become an Immortal King."
"What about your mother?" Joe Di asked.
Quentin Di shook his head, his eyes slightly red. "She once entered a secret realm to search for cultivation resources for me, and never returned."
Joe Di fell silent for a long time before speaking. "Quentin Di, I'm going to copy my cultivation technique for you. From now on, you should switch to my technique. Also, I hope you'll go to the secret realm where your mother disappeared and search for her. Maybe she's still alive. In this life, you can give up many things, but if you give up filial piety, you give up your very existence. No matter how much you cultivate, it will be meaningless. Even the Great Dao will have its limits. Remember what allows you to exist in this world."

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Nine. I will never forget it," Quentin Di bowed deeply.
Without his mother, Quentin Di would have died countless times. No, without her, he wouldn't have existed at all.
Joe Di nodded, raising his hand to tap Quentin Di's brow, inscribing his cultivation technique into Quentin's Spiritual Sea, and gifting him a strand of the Di Family's Primeval Creation Bloodline.
Joe Di was already a world-creating powerhouse who had split chaos itself. He had no need for the Di Family's Primeval Creation Bloodline—his own bloodline was even stronger. So giving this bloodline to Quentin Di was for the best.
"Brother Nine, what you gave me..." At this moment, Quentin Di not only sensed the cultivation methods of the Rule Dao, but also felt the Primeval Creation Bloodline.
"Besides the cultivation technique, I've also placed a True Spirit World in your Spiritual Sea. It contains things you'll need for cultivation. In addition, I've given you a strand of the Primeval Creation Bloodline. This should be what the Di Family ancestor left behind after the Five Elements Universe was created. Ninety percent of it is with your father, and I obtained the remaining ten percent, which I now give to you," Joe Di said.
"It's really the Primeval Creation Bloodline..." Quentin Di's voice trembled.
Quentin Di knew about the Primeval Creation Bloodline. His mother said it was only because his father possessed it that he could cultivate to such heights. But when his father left, he didn't leave Quentin a single strand of it. He never expected that Joe Di—a relative he'd never met—would give him that ten percent.
Joe Di patted Quentin Di's shoulder. "Go on. From here, you must walk your own path. However far you go depends on your own effort. This is all I can do for you."
Quentin Di bowed deeply. "Brother Nine, I will remember your advice and never be weaker than others."
Joe Di nodded, then thought for a moment and took out a ring, handing it to Quentin Di. "This ring has defensive properties. Keep it with you, but its protection is limited."
Originally, Joe Di hadn't planned to give him the ring. But considering Quentin Di's cultivation was so weak in this world, even an ant could kill him.
"Yes." At this moment, Quentin Di felt deep respect for Joe Di. Aside from his mother, no one had ever helped him like this.
