Time passed slowly, and Gu Le’s belly gradually grew larger.

Soon, the second semester of the second year at the Primordial Academy ended.

Yang Fan officially advanced to his third year.

Not long after starting his third year, the day finally arrived for Gu Le to give birth.

Accompanied by a crisp cry, a baby boy was born safely.

That same day, Third Elder Gu Xuanting and Lu Qinglan met with Yang Fan through the Virtual World.

It was evident that the two of them attached great importance to this eldest grandson.

"Xiao Fan, this is the first child for you and the girl Le, and also your eldest son."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting wore a smile on his face.

"What name do you intend to give him?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan immediately stood up and cupped his hands, "Everything is up to you, Father."

Hearing this, Third Elder Gu Xuanting burst into laughter.

"You child, you certainly know how to save yourself some trouble."

"However, some things still need to be made clear in advance."

"The Gu Family has never treated geniuses of other surnames unfairly, and we certainly won't treat our own people unfairly."

"However, if this child takes the surname Gu, it will ultimately be more convenient for him to act within the Family in the future."

"After all, there are always some old fogeys in the clan who cling to old rules."

"Although it won't affect the overall situation, it's always better to have fewer troubles."

Speaking of this, Third Elder Gu Xuanting looked at Yang Fan.

"Xiao Fan, if you have other thoughts, you can also bring them up."

Yang Fan hurriedly shook his head.

"Father, you speak too seriously."

"If it can allow the child to have a smoother path in the future, the surname is not important."

"It is just a name."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad. The Five Great Families have countless intermarriages."

"Some follow the father's surname, some follow the mother's surname; it is a common occurrence."

"Being able to see past this shows that you are more mature than many young people."

Then, he waved his hand.

"Since that is the case, the surname is settled."

"As for the name, the two of you can discuss it slowly."

Consciousness withdrew from the Virtual World.

Yang Fan returned to reality.

In the room, Gu Le was holding the baby while sitting by the bed, her face full of the joy of becoming a mother for the first time.

Seeing Yang Fan return, Gu Le immediately blinked.

"Husband, what did Father want with you?"

"This is his first grandson, after all."

"Didn't he give you the ownership of a hundred or eighty life planets?"

Yang Fan rolled his eyes upon hearing this, "You are truly filial."

As he spoke, he reached out his finger and flicked Gu Le on the forehead.

"Ouch!"

Gu Le hurriedly covered her head, then said righteously, "When you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog."

"Anyway, that old man is filthy rich, so we should take the opportunity to ask for more resources now."

"Later, when the three of us develop our Divine Kingdom, it will be much easier."

The corners of Yang Fan's mouth twitched slightly.

He suddenly wondered if Third Elder Gu Xuanting would fly into a rage and scold his precious daughter if he heard this.

"Alright, I know what you're thinking."

"But Father is, after all, the Third Elder of the Gu Family, and his every move is watched by countless people."

"The Gu Family's resources cannot be tilted toward us without limit."

Yang Fan explained with a smile, "Father called me over today mainly for the child's name."

"I have already decided."

"This kid will take the surname Gu, and his name will be Gu Chengye."

"In the future, he will inherit his father's career."

Hearing this, Gu Le was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, her eyes turned slightly red.

Then, she didn't say anything, just quietly leaned into Yang Fan's embrace.

Her face was full of unconcealable happiness.

Regarding this matter, Yang Fan actually saw it very clearly.

The Gu Family is, after all, one of the Five Great Families of the Human Race.

And as of now, even though he is rated as a peerless prodigy, he is ultimately just a demigod.

Sometimes, attitude is more important than ability.

It's just a surname; if it can make Third Elder Gu Xuanting of the Gu Family feel comfortable, the support the Gu Family gives him in the future will naturally be greater.

As for whether the child is surnamed Gu or Yang, Yang Fan actually doesn't care.

When he breaks through to become a God in the future, unless the divine kingdom core is breached, he can possess near-endless lifespan.

Whether the child is surnamed Gu, Yang, or even Lu, it doesn't matter.

To him, there is no essential difference.

The world is bustling, all for profit.

The world is clamoring, all for profit.

The name Gu Chengye is a bond for the Gu Family to maintain the relationship between both sides.

It is also a channel for Yang Fan to continue receiving investment from the Gu Family.

If he insisted on the surname Yang, Third Elder Gu Xuanting would most likely agree.

But the resources flowing from the Gu Family to him in the future might not be as smooth.

Life is like a game of chess; every move has its gains and losses.

If a name can be exchanged for greater benefits.

Then why bother competing with others for meaningless obsessions?

Following Gu Chengye's birth, people coming to offer congratulations arrived in an endless stream.

Various congratulatory gifts were sent continuously.

Some sent divine kingdom buildings, some directly transferred Divinity Points, and some even gifted company shares.

Among them, the most generous were Gu Tianyu and Qin Xue.

Gu Tianyu waved his hand and directly gifted an S-tier earth heart milk source nest.

Although Qin Xue did not attend in person, she still sent a super red envelope worth two billion Divinity Points.

It also had a note attached, "Used for maintaining customer relations."

When he saw this sentence, Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh.

A month later, to celebrate his eldest grandson's full-month milestone, Third Elder Gu Xuanting specially held a full-month banquet of unprecedented scale.

The banquet was held in Taichu City.

Those who could receive an invitation were all big shots with status from various sides.

Besides this, Third Elder Gu Xuanting also specially invited Yang Fan's parents, Yang Tiexin and Sun Rou.

One must know that Taichu City is the core region of the Human Race, and ordinary outsiders have no qualifications to enter at all.

But Third Elder Gu Xuanting, not knowing what method he used, managed to secure temporary access permits for the two of them.

When Yang Tiexin and Sun Rou stepped into the banquet hall, they were both a bit dazed.

Their presence always felt out of place with everything around them.

And shortly after the banquet began, Third Elder Gu Xuanting took the initiative to raise a wine glass and walk towards the two of them.

"You two, thank you for raising a child like Xiao Fan."

After speaking, he raised his glass to signal.

At this moment, the entire banquet hall quieted down a bit.

Yang Tiexin and Sun Rou stood up instantly, at a loss.

Even though Third Elder Gu Xuanting had deliberately restrained his aura.

Facing a High-tier God, the two of them still felt their consciousness go into a daze.

It was as if what stood before them was not a person, but a vast and boundless starry sky.

It wasn't until long after Third Elder Gu Xuanting left that the two of them gradually came back to their senses.

Their faces still retained a look of shock.

The entire full-month banquet lasted for a long time.

Yang Fan always maintained a proper smile, constantly communicating with guests from various sides.

Many of them he didn't know at all, but judging from the aura emanating from them, they were all at least much stronger than President Ma.

After the banquet ended.

Yang Tiexin and Sun Rou found Yang Fan alone.

The Family of three chatted for a long time.

"Seeing that you have such achievements today, we are relieved."

Yang Tiexin said with emotion.

"A big Family like the Gu Family is not like the outside world; keep your wits about you in everything, and be cautious in your speech and actions."

Sun Rou also nodded, then as if remembering something, suddenly added:

"And there is also Chengrou."

"Now that you have Chengye."

"But Chengrou is also your child, so you cannot favor one over the other."

Yang Fan was slightly stunned, then nodded seriously.

"Dad, Mom, I understand."

Hearing this, the two Elders finally felt completely at ease.

Then they said goodbye to Yang Fan and returned to the real world.
