Nine Nascent Soul Children Beg Me to Be Their Father in the Immortal Court

My name is Lu Beichen. I was once the Azure Cloud Ancestor, a force to be reckoned with across the Nine Realms. Now my Nascent Soul is withering, and I have only three years left to live. Yet the System wants me to save nine grandchildren who have it even worse than I do: a disgraced general, a concubine banished to the cold palace, a scholar drowning in debt... How did a dignified ancestor end up as everyone’s personal fixer? I teach them cultivation, statecraft, and warfare, thinking I’ll just raise them enough to extend my life. But when my enemies come knocking, my nine “good-for-nothing” grandkids reveal their hidden identities one after another: a Demon Lord, a Human Emperor, a Miracle Physician... As the Immortal Emperor kneels and begs for mercy, I quietly pocket my final chess piece. Now you want me to be your father? Too late!
