Hearing the clan leader's words, the nine Fire Cloud Sparrows behind him all showed expressions of disbelief.

So...that great cataclysm that swept through countless worlds was stopped by that man just now?!

"Think about it. Isn't it our clan's destiny that the Saint Son is by his side?"

The leader Fire Cloud Sparrow spoke each word clearly.

At this moment, a Fire Cloud Sparrow showed a worried expression and asked softly, "Clan Leader, we've given 'that tree' to him. Can we still return to the Divine Realm now?"

This question also reflected the worries in everyone's hearts.

The leader Fire Cloud Sparrow merely sighed faintly, "We can definitely go back, but...we cannot return."

"'That tree' was felled by us, and you all know the importance of 'that tree' to the Divine Realm. At this moment, the Divine Realm must have already calculated onto us."

"Because, throughout the Divine Realm, only our clan's unique ability has the power to fell 'that tree'."

"So now, the Divine Realm has laid nets everywhere, just waiting for us to go back."

Hearing this, the other nine were stunned; they didn't expect things to have developed to this point.

"What about our clansmen, our descendants who are all still in the Divine Realm? What will happen to them?"

At this time, a Fire Cloud Sparrow appeared anxious, fretfully flying around in circles.

.....

"No need to worry anymore."

"Because...they are already dead, and even if they're not dead, they have already been imprisoned."

"When we decided to take action on 'that tree', those old guys in the Divine Realm acted against our descendants."

"Because 'that tree' is the most important tree in the Divine Realm, but actually, its true body grows above the River of Time."

"The Divine Realm's 'that tree' is just a projection."

Upon hearing this, the other nine Fire Cloud Sparrows were all stunned.

.....

"Clan Leader, do you mean our Divine Realm's "Divine Whisper Tree" is merely a projection of the 'tree' we just felled?"

"Has a mere projection already grown so strong?"

One of the Fire Cloud Sparrows asked.

"Of course, which is why I said...throughout the Divine Realm, only we can truly fell the true body of 'that tree'."

"Because when we reach the banks of the River of Time, we are forcibly suppressed, becoming 'Fire Cloud Sparrows'."

"Yet we possess the sharpest beaks, able to peck away the wood bit by bit, including 'that tree'. This is our clan's unique ability."

"The old guys in the Divine Realm, when they come to the banks of the River of Time, might transform into a mouse, a squirrel, a snake, or even a flea. None of them can inflict any substantial harm to 'that tree'."

After the clan leader's explanation, the others also understood.

However, when they learned that their descendants in the Divine Realm had all suffered such tragic fates, with life or death unknown, they all showed expressions of sorrow and pain.

...

"Do not be sad, do not grieve."

"Our clan, the Saint Son is still alive, and has followed that man. Our clan will be rebuilt through the Saint Son and achieve a greater peak than before!"

"You must realize, our clan in the Divine Realm had long been on the verge of collapse, those old timers would eventually move against our clan, meaning our clan's destruction was inevitable."

"Furthermore, assuming an even more terrifying cataclysm emerges in the future, all creatures across the Ten Thousand Realms wouldn't escape, only by staying beside that man do we have a glimmer of hope."

"Therefore, our Saint Son already has a very good, very safe home."

Here, the leader paused, solemnly addressing the other nine: "You must understand, what kind of mighty existence is our clan's Saint Son following?"

"An existence capable of halting the spread of a great cataclysm single-handedly, an existence who calmed the flood on the River of Time alone!"

"With our Saint Son following such an existence, how could our clan's future not shine brighter than ever?"

After hearing these words, the other nine paused.

Indeed... with the Saint Son following such an existence, their clan's future shall herald the most glorious transformation!

"Therefore, do not mourn, the Saint Son will rebuild our clan in the future."

"Moreover... when the Saint Son reaches a certain height, resurrecting our clan won't be impossible."

"You need to know, when one becomes strong enough, they can interfere with reincarnation, reviving any deceased creature."

"Even if the Saint Son is incapable, that man surely can... it depends on whether the Saint Son can endear himself to that man, to draw that man's attention..."

After saying this, the clan leader also let out a long sigh.

"Clan Leader... where should we go now..."

The other nine, too, fell into a daze, not knowing where to go.

"Because of felling that tree, all of us have suffered irreversible injuries and our days are numbered."

"Returning to the Divine Realm is impossible."

"Find a small world to settle down for our twilight years."

"We've cultivated a lifetime; it's time to rest well, and anyway... the future is something to look forward to."

Saying this, the leader smiled.

The other nine, too, smiled.

Indeed... the future is something to look forward to.....

...

Thus, the ten Fire Cloud Sparrows... no, the ten legends of the Divine Realm, flew solitarily towards a corner of the River of Time.

From the perspective of outsiders, their figures seemed desolate, seemed lonely...

But only they themselves knew that they were content, were happy, were full of anticipation for the future...

....

Su Mu entered the courtyard.

He saw Nannan mending the wooden railing and gate of the courtyard, and upon seeing Su Mu returned, Little Nannan ran over as well.

"Papa, these don't seem to be fixable...."

"Also, also... our dining table and chairs were all swept away by the water."

Seeing Nannan with dirt on her nose, he wiped the dust and dirt from her face with his hand, dotingly said, "Papa found some top-quality wood, leave the rest to me."

Then, Su Mu remembered something, took out a bird egg from his sleeve and waved it in front of Little Nannan: "Look at this, Papa found something interesting."

"From now on, our family will have a new little member added."

Since Su Mu promised that clan leader, he would certainly take full responsibility for this unborn little life.

Little Nannan carefully held the bird egg in both hands, tilted her head, looked it over, frowning slightly.

Seeing Nannan's expression, Su Mu was a bit surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Papa, this bird egg... seems a bit strange."
