Lu Qing'an was once the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm, but after achieving his Dao through endless bloodshed, his temperament had become ferocious. Seeking to wash away the malice in his heart, he arrived at the Immortal Ruins and hid his true identity, presenting himself as a cultivator far weaker than his wife. He married Xu Qingying, and they had three children: eldest daughter Lu Zixuan, second son Lu Zhengran, and youngest daughter Lu Miaomiao. They lived a peaceful and harmonious life for a thousand years, deeply in love. Lu Qing'an possessed a system that offered him a million times the cultivation return if he divorced his wife, but he refused every day, cherishing his ordinary days and his family.One day, Lu Miaomiao revealed that her mother had asked her who she would choose if the parents were to separate, and that her mother had said Second Brother had already chosen to be with Mommy. The child had nightmares about divorce. Soon after, Lu Zixuan also confessed that her mother had asked her the same question and said Second Brother had made his choice. Disturbed, Lu Qing'an went to the back mountain to find Xu Qingying, who was holding a sound transmission jade slip. She was startled by his sudden appearance and hid the jade slip, claiming she was reporting cultivation progress to her master, but her averted gaze betrayed her lie.Lu Qing'an directly asked if she had asked the children about divorce. Xu Qingying was conflicted but silent. Suddenly, golden light erupted from her and the void resonated with Dao sounds; she was on the verge of breaking through to the Emperor Realm. She said she needed to break through urgently and asked Lu Qing'an to take care of the children. She flew to the peak of the back mountain. Celestial phenomena appeared as Dragon and Phoenix phantoms danced in the sky. Her master Lin Qingxue arrived, her disdain for Lu Qing'an unconcealed. Other cultivators also came, including Xu Qingying's younger brother Xu Xuanyu, who was rude to Lu Qing'an, and her second sister Xu Yunyi, who treated him kindly. The matchmaker He Hong also arrived, having just refined a saber and sword for Lin Qingxue. Many faction powerhouses came to witness the birth of a new Emperor. The celestial phenomena culminated in a massive pillar of light and purple lightning. The Immaculate Empress was announced, her aura stunning everyone. Lu Qing'an immediately understood: the Immaculate Emperor Throne required severing romantic desires to grow stronger. His wife sought divorce not for another man, but for power.After her breakthrough, Xu Qingying flew before everyone and told Lu Qing'an that they should divorce. Lin Qingxue urged her not to delay. The thousand present looked at Lu Qing'an, who stood motionless. He asked for a reason. Xu Qingying closed her eyes and said she wanted to become stronger. Lu Qing'an briefly fixed a terrifying killing intent on Lin Qingxue but then restrained it. Xu Qingying pressed forward a golden Heavenly Dao imprint and asked Lu Qing'an to sign it, begging him for freedom. Lu Qing'an used his Emperor's Will to forcefully connect to her Sea of Consciousness and ask if anyone forced her. Xu Qingying was shocked to realize he was a Great Emperor, but she insisted it was her own choice. Lu Qing'an signed the imprint, and the bond of Dao companions vanished. The system confirmed the divorce and gave him half of his cultivation back, which then flowed into Xu Qingying. Her cultivation immediately shot from just entering the Great Emperor Realm to the third minor stage, and Lin Qingxue was overjoyed. The system stored the million times return in Lu Qing'an's Sea of Consciousness.Lu Qing'an was unable to feel happy. He looked at his three children. Lu Miaomiao burst into tears. Xu Qingying, after reining in her joy, asked the children to choose whom to follow. Lin Qingxue offered the two peerless weapons to Lu Zhengran and Lu Zixuan as an incentive. Lu Zhengran, after a moment, walked step by step toward Lu Qing'an, but then he knelt and kowtowed three times, apologizing. Lu Qing'an lifted him and told him to listen to his mother and cultivate diligently. Lu Zhengran nodded solemnly. The situation left Lu Qing'an heartbroken, with only his stored cultivation and the fragments of his family remaining.
