My name is Mo Ran, and I'm a hapless time traveler who has crossed over a century in this world. I've been trapped by a system for over a hundred years, living a retired life where I check in, clock in, drink tea, and enjoy the flowers every day.

Just moments ago, a general from the Qingyu Empire arrived with a baby girl, claiming she's my daughter. He forcefully placed the baby in my arms and quickly departed, leaving me standing there in shock.

My emotions at this moment are incredibly complex.

After a century of time travel, I've suddenly become a father.

Meanwhile, far away beyond the mountains, two fierce beasts are pulling a carriage, and their aura is so intimidating that even the nearby beasts dare not approach. Inside the carriage is Shen Qiqi, the current Empress of the Qingyu Empire.

Her presence here is not coincidental. Two years ago, she encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation and couldn't break through the realm of the Great Emperor. Frustrated, she decided to explore other methods to advance her power. Little did she know that during this journey, she would not only face ambushes from the three major empires but also encounter a shameless scoundrel. Despite his seemingly ordinary appearance, he possesses unfathomable strength, and yet he pretended to be a powerless mortal in front of her.

Trapped in these dire circumstances, she chose to protect him and went into hiding, eventually falling into the hands of formidable warriors from the three empires, leaving her critically injured.

It was only when they entered a wooden house, which happened to be the man's dwelling, that he suddenly unleashed an earth-shattering power, effortlessly eliminating the three powerful enemies.

Witnessing this, Shen Qiqi, severely wounded, lost consciousness. When she woke up later, her innocence had been taken from her.

Thinking about this, the Empress clenched her teeth, an overwhelming aura escaping her uncontrollably.

"You scoundrel! If it weren't for the fact that the Qingyu Empire was targeted by the three major empires, fearing for Qing'er's safety, I would never have entrusted her to a scoundrel like you! Once I resolve the matters with the three major empires, I will personally come to retrieve Qing'er. At that time, you will pay the price!"

...

Looking at the little meatball sleeping soundly in his arms, Mo Ran felt an unprecedented sense of emotion. He gently held the baby's small hand, and a strong bloodline aura radiated from her.

This was the power of bloodline.

"This... this is truly my daughter!"

Feeling this familiar warmth, Mo Ran's hands couldn't help but tremble. His initially bewildered expression turned into joy.

"Yes, Host, she is indeed your biological daughter."

"Two years ago..."

In Mo Ran's mind, a mechanical voice without any emotional tone echoed. It was his system, a standard issue for time travelers.

"Damn you, shut your mouth! If it weren't for the ridiculous task you assigned two years ago, I wouldn't have tarnished someone's innocence!"

Thinking about it, Mo Ran couldn't help but feel angry. Two years ago, he was just a step away from reaching the realm of the Immortal Emperor, but the rules of this world couldn't accommodate the power of an Immortal Emperor. As a result, he couldn't break through and was stuck in this remote mountain area. The system had given him a ludicrous mandatory task: save Empress Shen Qiqi. He thought it would be a simple task, but the system imposed restrictions, preventing him from using his cultivation to save her until they returned to his wooden house.

A series of unfortunate events followed. When he finally guided Shen Qiqi to the wooden house, she was already gravely injured and on the brink of death. Time was running out, so he asked the system for a life-saving pill. However, instead of providing a straightforward healing pill, the system gave him a Dragon Phoenix Pill, which had healing properties but required...

Thinking about this, Mo Ran could only shake his head with a wry smile. In his previous life, he had lived a lonely existence, and in this life, he had been trapped by the system for over a hundred years. He never expected that his first encounter with a girl would be under such circumstances. Not only that, but he had earned the resentment of an Empress.

It's all your fault, you damn system.

"Don't blame the system entirely. I only followed your instructions and provided you with a healing pill. It indeed had healing properties, but there were some side effects," the system retorted.

"I should just kill you!"

"We share the same fate. If I die, you'll die too."

Just as he was arguing with the system, the baby in his arms, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes. Her big, watery blue eyes seemed to see through everything.

Hmm...

Those eyes were just like her mother's. They were beautiful.

Mo Ran, a new father, couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of happiness as he looked at his adorable daughter.

In his previous life, he had grown old in solitude, and in this life, he had been stuck in this otherworldly place for over a century. He never expected to have the opportunity to be a father.

While Mo Ran was filled with joy, his daughter lying in his arms had different thoughts.

Shen Qiqi, in this life, was the daughter of the Empress of the Qingyu Empire. However, her previous life had a remarkable background. She came from the upper realm and was a powerful figure known as the Moonfall Immortal King, who had reached the invincible realm of the Immortal King.

While exploring a secret realm of Immortal Emperors, she was ambushed and attacked by five Immortal Kings without honor. In the end, she was defeated and perished within the secret realm.

These Immortal Kings were Jing Immortal King, Sword Immortal King, and Wood Immortal King.
