"Mother, don't worry, Egg will be fine."
She gently patted Long Qianling's back with her small hand, her voice soft and sweet.
Upon hearing this, Long Qianling tightened his grip on her, holding her close, his heart filled with lingering fear.
"It's good that you're alright."
Egg stepped out of her embrace, raised a big smile, and said in a childish voice, "Egg ate the big bad guy! Isn't Egg amazing?"
"Have you eaten?" Long Qianling looked at her with some worry in his red eyes.
"Mmm! I ate it~ Ooh, I ate it all in one bite." Egg nodded obediently.
"Do you feel unwell?" Long Qianling looked her up and down, but only saw that her body was still glowing with golden light and there was nothing unusual about her.
"Egg just feels so full." Egg raised its little hand and patted its little belly, showing Long Qianling a set of big white teeth.
"Really?" Long Qianling was still uneasy.
"Okay, don't worry, Mother, Dandan is fine. Let's go back to find Father." Dandan reached out and tugged at Long Qianling's sleeve, her little face full of eagerness. She had already seen her mother, but she hadn't had a chance to see her father yet.
“Okay, let’s go back to find your father.” Long Qianling did not refuse her. After agreeing, he picked her up and disappeared into the white space in the next moment.
Egg is right. She did indeed devour the Heavenly Dao, or more accurately, she devoured the merits within her, turning the Heavenly Dao back into a state devoid of consciousness.
The Heavenly Dao developed self-awareness because it possessed boundless merit. In fact, Egg could have directly replaced her as the Heavenly Dao, but she was unwilling.
She didn't want to leave her mother and father's side, but her mother chose her father over the common people.
She wouldn't choose the common people either. Since Heaven loves the common people so much, then let her protect them herself.
Their family will stay together forever and never be separated!
Long Qianling and Dandan returned to the Chaos Land once again. The ice lotus had completely disappeared. In mid-air, Bai Qingnian floated there with her eyes closed.
She placed the egg on the ground. The golden light on the egg had long since disappeared. Seeing Long Qianling walk towards her father, she quickly followed. The next moment, Bai Qingnian, who was in mid-air, slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the scene in front of him with some confusion.
Has he gone to the underworld?
"Bai Qingnian".
A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Bai Qingnian turned his head sharply to see Long Qianling standing below him.
"The Great Black Dragon!"
Bai Qingnian turned around and threw herself into Long Qianling's arms. She didn't dodge, but instead reached out and hugged him.
Bai Qingnian buried his head in her arms, tears streaming down his face.
He realized that he was not dead, but that the great black dragon had saved him once again.
But this time, what did the Great Black Dragon use to exchange for his life?
Did she truly promise Heaven to protect all living beings...?
Egg popped its head out from behind Long Qianling. Bai Qingnian lowered his eyes and was caught off guard when he met a pair of very beautiful blue eyes. He was stunned for a moment.
The next second, the owner of those eyes gave him a big smile, his eyebrows and eyes crinkling, and jumped out from behind Long Qianling, grabbing his leg.
"Father!"
A loud and sweet child's voice exploded in Bai Qingnian's ears.
Bai Qingnian forgot to cry for a moment, staring blankly at the child clinging to her leg.
Long Qianling released Bai Qingnian, making room for the father and daughter.
"Daddy, Egg has finally seen you! Now that you've found Mother, you can't cry anymore, or Egg will feel bad! Mother won't leave us now, we'll always be together."
Looking at her father's red, swollen eyes, Dandan's blue eyes were filled with heartache.
No one knows how many times her father secretly cried because of her mother's disappearance. They don't know, but she knows that she feels sorry for her father, and she also feels sorry for her mother.
"...Baby?" Bai Qingnian was still a little confused.
At this time, his baby was still an egg, so how could it have hatched?
Seemingly sensing her father's confusion, Egg immediately explained, "It was Mother and Father's power that gave Egg enough strength to hatch early! Egg saw that Father hadn't returned, so Egg came out ahead of time..."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at him cautiously, as if she was afraid he would get angry.
Looking at her small face, Bai Qingnian couldn't help but think of the miniature version of Long Qianling he had seen in the cultivation world. She looked at least seven parts similar to Long Qianling, if not nine.
Just by looking at her face, you can tell whose child she is.
"Little one! How did you get here? It's too dangerous here."
Bai Qingnian quickly squatted down and hugged Dandan tightly.
Feeling the warmth of his father's body, Egg chuckled foolishly.
Father's embrace was still as warm as ever.
"Daddy, don't be afraid. The big bad guy has been eliminated by Mommy and Egg. It's not dangerous here anymore, it's very safe." Egg raised its little hand and gently patted Bai Qingnian's back.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingnian looked up at Long Qianling standing to the side, her eyes seemingly asking if it was true or not.
Long Qianling nodded slightly, and Bai Qingnian breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to pat Dandan's fluffy head and said gently, "Baby is so amazing, but you can't be so reckless next time, or Daddy will be sad if you get hurt."
"Mmm, Egg is a good boy."
"Good girl." Bai Qingnian's eyes softened.
Looking at the scene before him, Long Qianling felt a strange warmth in his heart.
If she hadn't lost her memory, how happy she would be right now! But she can't remember anything...
Buzz—
The next moment, the voice of Heaven resounded in her mind.
"Dragon God, I apologize for the destruction of the Dragon Clan. The 30,000-year seal and the removal of my memories are also my apologies. Perhaps you are right, protecting one person can also protect all living beings. There is no conflict between the two."
Dragon God, I know my apologies won't make you forgive me. Now that I'm unconscious, I'm using my last strength to return your memories and emotions to you. From now on, you will only live for yourself…
This time, she no longer referred to herself as "吾" (wú), but as "我" (wǒ). She was somewhat dazed when she saw the child attacking her recklessly.
Is this really what she wants?
In the instant she was lost in thought, the small figure suddenly attacked, its eyes filled with murderous intent. She only heard the small figure's soft, childlike voice ring out, "I say..."
"You forced my mother to abandon my father to protect the common people, but you also know that the common people represent great love, while my father represents small love. But aren't all the people in this world made up of countless small loves? Without these small loves, where would the common people come from!"
Yes, that little dragon is right.
It was her...it was her fault.
