"Zhou Bai, what do you think of Ming Yue?"

On the mountaintop, when Zhou Bai heard this question from the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, he felt his palm tighten slightly, and Ming Yue beside him had already gripped his hand tightly.

Instantly, Zhou Bai's mind was whirling with countless thoughts flooding in.

Usually nimble and quick to react, his brain now felt at a loss, not knowing how to respond, as if it lagged.

'If I say Ming Yue is not that great now...'

A vision seemed to flash through Zhou Bai's mind of himself being thrown off the mountain.

He swallowed and said, "Ming Yue is great."

The voice of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate came again with a smile, "Since you also like Ming Yue, that makes things easier..."

Zhou Bai was taken aback and thought to himself: 'Wait... When did I say I liked Ming Yue...'

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate continued in an indisputable tone, "You and Ming Yue are both outstanding representatives of our human lineage, bearing the bloodline of pure-blooded humans. If you conceive offspring, you would become the ancestors of a new generation of humans.

But as they say, 'Name not right, words not smooth.' To establish the foundation for the new human lineage for generations, and to gather the fortune of the new human lineage, you two must truly marry, become husband and wife, complete the rituals and ceremonies, and announce it to the world, establishing your status."

Zhou Bai hesitated, "This... wouldn't this make too much fuss? Wouldn't many people oppose it? The Four Departments of True Gods might have objections, right?" He thought secretly: 'What does this old trickster mean? Marry Ming Yue and announce it to the world? Isn't this putting me on the grill? What's he up to?'

"Indeed, there will be opposition, but it must be done." The Supreme Heavenly Venerate sighed, "Since life developed wisdom, and wisdom created civilization, the term 'status' has held incredible power, containing the mysteries of race reproduction, inheritance, the operation of civilization, and even influences fortune and changes in the Heavenly Dao."

"First, establish your status, and then perform the Yin-Yang Divine Union technique to reintegrate the pure-blooded humans into the Heavenly Dao cycle."

Ming Yue listened excitedly to the words of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, unable to suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth. She knew how much the Immortals on Wanxian Island and the Supreme Heavenly Venerate valued the plan to revive the human race.

Zhou Bai was shocked: "Was I tricked into marriage?!"

...

"The original Immortal Ascension Book?" Zhou Bai looked at Em in front of him and directly shook his head, "Impossible. The kind of risk I have to take to get my hands on such a treasure, you want to exchange it with just a piece of information?"

Inside Em, the unfamiliar female voice continued, "Then I can make a concession. You don't need to give me the original Immortal Ascension Book, just memorize its content and tell me."

Zhou Bai asked, puzzled, "Is there something different about the content of the Immortal Ascension Book?"

"Hmph," the female voice said, "only on the original Immortal Ascension Book are all the true names of the Four Departments of True Gods recorded."

Zhou Bai frowned, still shaking his head, "That carries even greater risk. This thing might even be in the possession of the God Emperor, and I am risking my life here. You're only offering one piece of information, too cheap."

The female voice said, "Then what do you want?"

Zhou Bai's eyes slightly brightened, "I want the Heavenly Demon's quantum communication technology."

The female voice flatly refused, "Impossible."

Zhou Bai said, "Then forget it, I can just investigate Li Tai's identity slowly myself."

After a moment of silence, the female voice said, "Change your demand. Quantum communication technology is too important, I can't give it to you."

Zhou Bai asked, "Why? I just want to build a communication network of my own, it wouldn't affect the Heavenly Demon's communication network. Are you worried that I might learn it and then invade your communication network?"

"By the way, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate has already informed me that the God Emperor will let me write my name on the original Immortal Ascension Book."

The female voice said in surprise, "Is that so?"

Zhou Bai said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Another silence from the female voice, before she said, "Data on quantum communication technology can be shared with you, but I have another request."

Zhou Bai asked, "What?"

The female voice said, "What do you think of Em?"

"Huh?" Zhou Bai stared blankly at Em in front of him and shook his head repeatedly, "What's wrong with you guys? Each one of you is forcing me into such things. I tell you! I'm not interested in robots..."

The female voice paused, then quietly said, "I meant Em's ability to traverse space, what do you think?"
