207: A debt of gratitude must be repaid; one should never fail others.

The next day, the manor presented a "flourishing" scene of internal competition.

Under Chen Jun's diligent "assistance" of "performing several good deeds daily," Weiwei and the others all welcomed a brand new life journey, nurturing the hope of Venerable Bodies and King Bodies in their wombs.

The entire manor was permeated with vigorous Life Qi and... a faint maternal radiance, mixed with shyness and pride.

Chen Jun slumped into his Supreme lounge chair, his Divine Sense sweeping over the System interface.

[Remaining Lifespan]: 116 years... +20... +20... (99.9 billion... years)

Chen Jun took a sip of the nine revolutions star tea, but his gaze involuntarily drifted toward the distant starry sky... His memory pierced through time and space, returning to the starting point of his destiny hundreds of years ago

The Stasis Chamber.

That pure white, lifeless room, those fifteen days of "pain and pleasure"... those over three hundred federal top beauties, each with a different style, yet all bearing a "sacred mission"... and outside, that group of old Stellar-level Experts who went from being full of anticipation to anxious and frantic, and finally, upon learning the truth, acted as if they had lost their parents, beating their chests and stamping their feet... Thinking of this, the corner of Chen Jun's mouth curved into an extremely complex arc, mixed with reminiscence and emotion.

Those two weeks certainly involved initial humiliation and numbness, but more so, they involved the ultimate experience of enjoying the absolute obedience of peerless beauties after the System stopped working due to only six years of remaining Lifespan, with his body piled up to the Peak by massive amounts of tonics.

It could be said that this was the first time since his Transmigration that he truly "enjoyed" the "benefits" of being a Transmigrator.

More importantly

"In my life, I, Chen Jun, repay all grudges, repay all favors, and never fail anyone," he muttered softly, his eyes clear and resolute.

Although the original intention of those three hundred-plus beauties was for their Family and their mission, how could they themselves not be caught up in this storm?

They gave their bodies, yet received nothing in return, and might have even endured pressure and criticism from their families and others.

Although the Stellar-level Experts outside had impure motives, the precious resources and rare treasures they invested, which were astronomical figures at the time, genuinely nourished his then-frail body.

Although those resources were insignificant to him now, they were extremely valuable back then.

This favor of resources, this grace of nourishment, he, Chen Jun, had always kept in his heart!

This is also why Chen Jun did not settle scores later

The goal of those Stellar-level Experts was to secure guarantees for the nation and their families, and they invested heavily. Although their purpose was to bear his children, he not only suffered no loss but won big... Now, he is Ancestor Chen, possessing monstrous strength, and his Family is prosperous. It is time... to repay this "Karma," especially to those three hundred-plus beauties.

Although he had already secretly used resources to forcefully elevate their strength to the Stellar Level Peak, granting them a Lifespan of 100,000 years.

But this guarantee was only the Foundation.

It wasn't enough!

He looked at the [Remaining Lifespan]: 116 years on the System interface. Although not much, it was more than enough to trigger the lowest tier of the [Absolute Guarantee] and help them conceive an Innate Sun Body.

This could both repay past favors and contribute to the Family's "guarantee" undertaking, increasing confidence when facing the unknown Universe, and also... well, revisiting the "atmosphere" of the Stasis Chamber from back then?

Achieving multiple goals with one effort, why not?

I'm not doing this for my own enjoyment!

It's to repay a favor!

It's to give them a better guarantee!

Chen Jun emphasized this again in his heart.

Thinking of this, he slowly sat upright and said to Chen Yu, who was standing beside him, "Yu'er."

"Father." Chen Yu immediately stepped forward.

"Draft eleven invitations in my name." Chen Jun's tone was calm but carried an indisputable authority:

"Invite the first batch of eleven 'old acquaintances' from the Stasis Chamber back then to the Manor for a chat. Tell them... this Venerable One recently emerged from secluded cultivation and coincidentally obtained some 'small trinkets' useful for stabilizing one's Foundation and prolonging Lifespan. Remembering our old friendship, I specially invite them to share. You can ask Mo Heng for the specific details."

He deliberately emphasized "first batch" and "old acquaintances" to avoid too many coming at once, preventing his spiritual energy from circulating properly.

Chen Yu respectfully responded, "Yes, Father, your son will handle it immediately."

...The invitations were sent out, like eleven stones cast into a calm lake.

The first to receive the invitations were eleven women who now held high positions in various federal sectors or had become regional magnates.

They were the first ones to "eat the crab" in the Stasis Chamber back then.

When they saw the invitation personally signed by Ancestor Chen, which was gently worded yet carried Supreme authority, their reactions varied.

At a certain military base, a cold-tempered Female General, bearing general stars on her shoulder, stared blankly at the electronic invitation for a long time, ripples forming in her once-still heart.

She touched her still smooth cheek, recalling the absurdity of that pure white room, and the past where her Family exhausted resources to elevate her to the Stellar Level... "Ancestor Chen... he still remembers?" She didn't know the resources were actually Chen Jun's, not her Family's.

In a top laboratory, a bespectacled, intellectual female scientist nearly dropped the test tube in her hand.

She pushed up her glasses, complex data streams flashing in her eyes, as if analyzing the deep meaning behind the invitation.

In the top office of a vast commercial Empire, a charming, powerful female CEO smiled as she looked at the invitation.

She clearly remembered the price her Family paid for that spot, and she only reached where she is today thanks to the subsequent resource allocation from her Family... Despite their differing thoughts, no one dared to refuse Ancestor Chen's invitation.

The next day, eleven graceful figures, each with a distinct style yet all radiating the powerful aura of the Stellar Level Peak, stepped into the Pillar of Leaders again, filled with apprehension, anticipation, curiosity, and even a hint of secret excitement, arriving at the Chen Jun Manor, which was now known as a Holy Land in the Alliance.

In the manor's living room, Chen Jun was still slumped in his lounge chair, seemingly lazy, yet possessing an inherently reassuring aura.

The eleven women filed in, and the moment they saw him, they couldn't help but hold their breath.

Centuries had passed, and time had left no trace on his face; instead, his unfathomable demeanor, as if merged with the starry sky, was even more captivating.

"Greetings, Ancestor Chen!" The eleven bowed in unison, their voices respectful, carrying an indescribable nervousness.

Chen Jun lifted his eyelids and scanned their faces. He could vaguely make out their former contours, but now they possessed more mature charm and the dignity of high office.

"We are old friends, no need for formalities, sit." Chen Jun smiled, his tone casual, as if he truly just invited old friends for tea.

With a wave of his hand, eleven cups of steaming, fragrant "special tea" appeared on the coffee table.

"Try this 'Million-Year Azure Sky Dew' I recently concocted. It's slightly beneficial for stabilizing the Foundation of the Stellar Level."

The eleven women picked up the cups, half-believing, half-doubting, and took a small sip.

The next moment, their beautiful eyes widened simultaneously!

An indescribable clear stream instantly swept through their bodies, nourishing their Stellar Level Foundation, which was slightly unstable due to forced advancement, and even their Soul felt an unprecedented comfort and clarity!

This... how was this only slightly beneficial?

This was simply a divine Item!

"Thank you for the tea, Ancestor Chen!" The women were ecstatic, their gazes towards Chen Jun growing hotter.

Ancestor Chen was indeed unfathomable!

Chen Jun took in their reactions, knowing the stage was set.

He put down his teacup and sighed softly, his voice carrying the emotion of recalling the past:

"I invited you all here today, firstly to share this Dew, and secondly... to remember the 'Karma' between you and me during the time in the Stasis Chamber."

Mentioning the "Stasis Chamber," the cheeks of the eleven women involuntarily flushed, their eyes darting away, and the atmosphere instantly became subtle.

Chen Jun seemed not to notice their embarrassment and continued in his gentle and magnetic voice:

"Regarding the events of that year, you all bore a mission, and for me, it was an unforgettable experience."

His sincere words touched the hearts of the eleven women.

"Now, time has passed." Chen Jun changed the subject, his gaze deepening. "Looking at your cultivation, although you have reached the Stellar Level Peak, your Foundation may have slight flaws due to external force enhancement, and a Lifespan of 100,000 years is not long in the starry sky."

This statement directly struck the deepest worry in their hearts!

Stellar Level Peak was already top-tier in the Alliance, but compared to the Star Arm Level and Galaxy Level existences, whose Lifespans easily stretched to millions or tens of millions of years, 100,000 years was too short!

"Ancestor Chen is insightful..." The Female General couldn't help but speak, her voice carrying a hint of bitterness.

Chen Jun waved his hand, interrupting her, a look of "I understand you" on his face:

"I am untalented, but I recently gained some insight into the Dao of cultivation, and my own spiritual energy has recovered slightly. Remembering our old friendship, I cannot bear to see my old acquaintances trapped by a Bottleneck and worried about their Lifespan..."

He paused, and under the suddenly bright, hopeful gazes of the eleven women, he slowly said:

"I wish to emulate the ancient sages, 'You threw me a peach, I return a precious jade.' I am willing to use the power of my spiritual energy again to 'diligently condition' your Foundation, which may mend its flaws, prolong your Lifespan, and even... allow you to touch the threshold of a higher Realm."

"Diligently condition?!"

Their hearts skipped a beat instantly!

This phrase... felt too familiar!

How similar it was to the mission in the Stasis Chamber centuries ago!

But this time, it was no longer a mission, but a reward from Ancestor Chen out of old friendship!

It was an Opportunity leading to a higher Realm and a longer Lifespan!

The immense surprise overwhelmed them, nearly causing them to faint!

The female scientist immediately began rapidly calculating the potential benefits of "diligently conditioning," and the result showed

approaching positive infinity!

The female CEO was already calculating the massive profit growth this Opportunity could bring to herself and her Family!

The Female General was so excited her fists clenched, feeling more exhilarated than winning a battle!

... "Ancestor Chen's great kindness! We... are eternally grateful!" The eleven women spoke almost simultaneously, their voices trembling with extreme excitement.

Chen Jun nodded in satisfaction, displaying a smile of having "performed a good deed a day... no, eleven good deeds."

"Since that is the case, there's no time to lose. Hmm... the quiet room is ready. To avoid wasting spiritual energy, let's... proceed together."

"T-together?!"

The women were stunned!

Although they were mentally prepared, wasn't this scale a bit too exaggerated?!

Wouldn't this be a bit... crowded?!

Chen Jun looked at their dumbfounded, bright red faces, secretly amused, but maintained a serious expression:

"Spiritual energy is precious, and performing it separately might lead to dissipation. Doing it simultaneously can form an energy cycle, resulting in better effects, and also saving you the trouble of multiple trips. Moreover... you are all old acquaintances, what's wrong with helping each other out?"

What the hell is helping each other out?!

What the hell is saving the trouble of multiple trips?!

The women saw shyness in each other's eyes.

However, thinking of the temptation of "mending the Foundation," "prolonging Lifespan," and "touching a higher Realm"... ultimately, the desire for power and the pursuit of Lifespan overruled everything!

These female Stellar-level Experts, blushing... followed Chen Jun with complicated feelings towards the overly spacious "tutoring quiet room."

The moment the quiet room door closed, the Divine Sense of the other "residents" in the Manor instantly focused on it again... Inside the quiet room, the scene... (To comply with harmony rules, one hundred and ten million words must be omitted here, and no details can be described...)

It can only be said that Chen Jun spared no effort for these old acquaintances.

Although the process was slightly busy, under the absolute control of a Star River Level magnate like Chen Jun and his rich experience in "large-scale situations," the overall procedure appeared... orderly, even conforming to some profound Law?

Afterward... Chen Jun checked the System in his mind.

[Currently Mandatory]: Activate [Absolute Guarantee] on Moon Body spouses (x11).

1. Consume 10 years of Lifespan to upgrade offspring Aptitude to Sun Body (Tier 4) [ Confirm / Cancel ]

2. Consume 100 years of Lifespan to upgrade offspring Aptitude to Radiant Body (Tier 5) [ Confirm / Cancel ]

3. Consume 1000 years of Lifespan to upgrade offspring Aptitude to Venerable Body (Tier 6) [ Confirm / Cancel ]

[Remaining Lifespan]: 116 years... +20... +20... Chen Jun glanced at the System-acknowledged Lifespan.

[Confirmation Selected: 1. Consume 10 years of Lifespan to upgrade offspring Aptitude to Sun Body (Tier 4)] x11

[Instruction Received] x11

[Rule Takes Effect!... Guiding... Genetic sequence optimization complete!] x11

[Operation Complete! Offspring expected to be born in 8 years.] x11

[Offspring Aptitude is fixed: Sun Body (Tier 4)] x11

Success!

They felt the life imprint, far more magnificent than the "Million-Year Azure Sky Dew," representing infinite future!

The immense happiness made these female Experts tear up. They clung tightly to Chen Jun, expressing their gratitude in the most direct way.

"Thank you, Ancestor Chen, for making this possible! This kindness and virtue will never be forgotten!"

Chen Jun felt the stable new lives in their wombs and their noticeably solidified Foundations, his heart filled with the satisfaction of having successfully repaid his favor:

"Now... are you still worried about unstable Foundations or insufficient Lifespan?"

The women shook their heads vigorously, a hint of shyness in their eyes... When the quiet room door reopened and these women, whose auras were noticeably more condensed and profound, walked out, Chen Yu, who was waiting outside, nearly failed to keep his expression steady.

This... this efficiency... He silently updated the Manor Management Manual, adding a note under the "Father's style of conduct" section: "Decisive and remarkably efficient."

Remembering the scene of "working together" inside the quiet room just now, red clouds rose on the women's faces again... but in their eyes, there was an added, indescribable sense of camaraderie, named "Revival Alliance."

Chen Jun walked out last, still looking calm and relaxed, though he quietly rubbed his lower back.

"Hmm, repaying favors is also hard work..."

He slumped back into his lounge chair, his Divine Sense sweeping over the System interface.

[Remaining Lifespan]: 6 years... +20... +20... Looking at this number, Chen Jun's eyes remained calm.

The current remaining Lifespan of "six years" felt completely different from the remaining Lifespan of six years back then.

His gaze once again turned toward the vast starry sky. The pressure from the human race of the Universe was like a sword hanging over his head, constantly reminding him

the path of "guarantee" is long and arduous.

"The 'favor' of the first batch of old acquaintances has been repaid. There are still the second batch, the third batch... those three hundred-plus old acquaintances, not one can be missed."

"After all, in my life, I, Chen Jun, repay all grudges, repay all favors, and never fail anyone."

"As for the method... well, mutual progress and efficiency first."
