"Uncle Zhen told me," Yue told Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu with an innocent expression on her face. As soon as her words escaped her mouth, a light noise of sudden coughing came from outside.
"Zhen you idiot!!! Come inside" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu let out loudly as he gazed towards the door.
"Your majesty, " A man's voice came as he entered with a glass half-filled with alcohol in his hand. There were some wet stains on the chest area of his robes and on his chin, which made it look like he had just coughed out alcohol.
"Were you the one who brought my daughter here?" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu asked War God Zhen as he stared at him.
"Yes, your majesty. I saw the princess in the hall looking for you. I brought her here and stayed outside to give all of you privacy" War God Zhen said innocently.
"Tell me one thing. Am I shameless in your eyes? ' Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu asked with a slight smile on his face as he gazed at War God Zhen.
"Not at all, your majesty?" War God Zhen replied with an honest look on his face.
"Then why did you tell my cute little angel that I'm shameless? She just blew up your cover, you idiot" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said to War God Zhen in a slightly louder tone.
" I didn't tell the little princess that your majesty is shameless. I just told her the definition of shameless sometime ago. Maybe the princess was talking about that. Isn't that right princess?" War God Zhen said with a wry smile on his face as he gazed towards the Princess.
"Uncle Zhen is always right! " Yue said in her cute little voice.
" Oh, Did uncle Zhen also teach you that?" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu asked Yue as he looked at her with a smile.

"Yup," Yue innocently nodded her head twice.
War God Zhen's face turned red as Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu gazed at him with an amused look on his face.
"What was the definition of 'shameless' that Uncle Zhen told you?" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu asked his daughter Yue.
"It is when someone praises themselves through their own mouth, they are shameless" Yue replied honestly.
" Oh, is that it? " Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said with a clever smile on his face.
"When uncle Zhen told you that he is always right, he was praising himself on his own. Isn't he shameless as well then?" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said as he started laughing loudly feeling proud of his cleverness.
" Oh right! Uncle Zhen is shameless as well!" Yue exclaimed as if suddenly struck with a realization.
"I...I should be going, I have things to do. By the way, happy birthday little guy. I'll bring your gift later in the evening." War God Zhen decided that things weren't looking good for him. He hurriedly wished Xu Liang for his birthday as he left with an embarrassed look on his face.
"What did he tell you about father? Is father always right as well?" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu asked Yue with a loving smile on his face.
"Uncle Zhen told me that father still acts like he is a young teenager in front of beautiful women," Yue said innocently.
"Huh…." Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu felt at a loss of words as he heard Yue's words.
"Why did Uncle Zhen leave?" Yue further asked as she looked at her father.
"Well, he was embarrassed because you caught his shamelessness. He hurriedly left. " Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu said as he looked at Yue.

" Why didn't you leave as well, father? Is it because you're thick-skinned just as uncle Zhen said?" Yue asked innocently.
"Zhen you bastard!!! Come back!!! " Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu roared loudly as he cursed Zhen with a red face. It was unknown whether his face was red because of anger or because of embarrassment after hearing her daughter's words.

That memory ended as well but the incoming memories didn't stop. Other memories kept arriving. Xu Liang lived through those memories. He learned cultivation under Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu for years. He learned Body Cultivation as well as spiritual cultivation. He was taught to use all the weapons in existence. Other than cultivation with Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu, most of Xu Liang's time was spent with Yue and sometimes with War God Zhen who also taught him on occasions.
Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu always praised Xu Liang's talents whenever he taught Xu Liang. His Cultivation was so fast that even Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu was amazed. By the time Xu Liang was sixteen, he had already broken through to the peak of the saint realm. He was just a single sleep away from becoming immortal.
After spending so much time with Xu Liang and seeing the hard work he put in his Cultivation, Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu took a decision that was enough to change the history of the Heavenly Realm.
On Xu Liang's sixteenth birthday, a special Heavenly Court meeting was held. All the Gods and Ministers of the Heavenly Realm were present in the meeting.
The Heavenly Emperor sat on the highest throne at the front of the court while others sat on lower seats in front of him. Amongst the seated ones, were all the big names of the Heavenly Realm.
Xu Liang and Yue also were in the court. Although they only stood behind Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu.
"Heavenly Emperor Zhu. Why did you call everyone here today?" The man who was sitting in the front seat said. He looked to be in his early thirties, but just like everyone else in this Heavenly Court, he was also thousands of years old. He was called the Xuan Di, Also known as Illustrious Emperor. He was said to be the Strongest Person in the Heavenly Realm after the Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu who ruled the Heavenly Realm.

8 117Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
