Against the Gods Chapter 1366: Hope



“You’ve suffered a lot over the years…” Yun Che said in a distraught voice. All he could say were these extremely pale words.

“It’s not bitter.” Chu Yuechan shook her head: “I’ve been used to this kind of peace since I was in Frozen Cloud Palace. Besides, Wuxin is by my side.”

“Then… have you ever thought about leaving here someday?” Yun Che asked.

Chu Yuechan still shook her head. She looked at her daughter with a complicated look in her eyes: "Xin'er is growing up day by day. I can't keep her by my side forever. She has to go out into the world and find her own life. But... she is growing up too fast. It scares me."

Yun Che: “…”

"When she was six years old, she began to generate profound energy on her own. So, I tried to guide her in cultivation. As a result, her profound energy grew terribly fast. She entered the profound realm in one month, reached the true profound realm in three months, and reached the spiritual profound realm in six months. She reached the earthly profound realm at the age of seven and a half, the sky profound realm at the age of eight and a half, and the throne realm before she was ten years old... Now, she has reached the ninth level of the king profound realm, surpassing all the ancestors of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace."

"Moreover, every time she crossed a realm, there was no sign of a bottleneck."

Although Yun Che had seen Yun Wuxin’s attack before, his heart was still shaken violently… And if Chu Yuechan’s words fell into the ears of a profound practitioner from the Profound Sky Continent, every word would surely sound like a fairy tale.

There is no doubt that Yun Wuxin's growth rate in the Xuan Dao is by no means normal.

"This makes me worried and I dare not let her leave this place."

Chu Yuechan's worry was normal.

She didn't know what the outside world had become, but there was one thing that was beyond doubt: once a throne that was only eleven years old, and a throne at a later stage, appeared in the world, it would surely cause an earth-shattering tremor in the mysterious way, and she, who was alone, would never have a peaceful life.

"Mom, I don't want to go out into the world. I want to stay with you forever." Lying next to her mother, Yun Wuxin smiled and said, "Dad, will you stay with us in the future?"

Yun Che smiled, but did not speak.

Because he could see the light of longing and desire in the depths of Yun Wuxin's eyes when she spoke... She wanted to leave here, she wanted to see the outside world, but she didn't want to leave her mother alone even more.

"What about you?" Chu Yuechan asked: "How did you survive back then? And why did you..."

The young boy who was once so young and brighter than the sun, had become so desolate and gloomy when we met again.

Yun Che raised his head slightly. His memory returned to the starting point of his life. He thought silently. His heart suddenly became calm at this moment: “During the six months in the Dragon God Trial Ground, I talked to you countless words and told you countless stories every day. However, I never told you what kind of person I really am or where I came from. I also told you many lies, empty words, and jokes…”

Chu Yuechan: "..."

"In the twelve years since I found you, I have experienced a lot of things. Many of them must sound unreal to you, but... I will never lie to you again like I did back then. Every word I say is true..."

The starting point of his story was not the disaster at Tianjian Villa that year, but the turning point of his fate, the reincarnation from Cangyun Continent to Tianxuan Continent.

He recounted his own fate and reincarnation, his encounter with Jasmine, how he learned about his true life story under the Sword Controlling Platform... how he dreamt of returning to the Illusory Demon Realm... how he destroyed Xuanyuan and saved the world... how he described a series of dramatic changes in the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace... and how he described the God Realm, which was equivalent to a myth to the Profound Sky Continent...

Until he died in the Star God Realm more than a month ago, and was reborn in a dreamlike manner...

The scorching sun moves westward, and the stars fill the sky.

He told all his experiences, all his joys and sorrows, all his secrets without reservation... As for Yuechan and Wuxin who were lost and found again, he wished he could give them his whole world in compensation, without any concealment or reservation.

It was also the first time in his life that he spoke so freely and heartily.

Unconsciously, the stars dimmed and the scorching sun reappeared. Outside the bamboo forest, Feng Xian'er did not disturb their family reunion, but she did not leave either, and quietly waited there.

In Chu Yuechan's arms, Yun Wuxin had fallen asleep without knowing when. She slept very sweetly and peacefully, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

She didn't know what kind of legend her father was in this continent, nor did she know what kind of power she possessed.

Looking at her peaceful face, Yun Che's mouth curled up unconsciously. It was impossible to describe what kind of feeling this was... The darkness that had been entangled in him for a long time, the abyss of the soul that he had thought might be difficult to escape from in his lifetime, was so vulnerable in front of her smile, and it collapsed almost without a trace.

He recalled the doting, gentle eyes that melted everything every time his mother looked at him. He finally understood that feeling, and also understood that she had suffered the guilt for more than twenty years...

"No wonder Xin'er's growth is so amazing." Chu Yuechan said softly, hugging her sleeping daughter tightly. Although she has no profound power, for Yun Wuxin, she has always been the warmest and greatest support in the world: "It turns out that she has a legendary father."

“Unfortunately, her father’s legend has fallen.” Yun Che smiled and said this, surprisingly without a trace of loss in his heart. He vaguely felt that Yun Wuxin’s unusual talent should be related to him. Not only did she inherit his Phoenix bloodline and Dragon God bloodline, but the abnormality of her profound veins was probably also... affected by his evil god profound veins.

Although he had lost his power, the satisfaction he felt in being able to give his daughter such an amazing talent outweighed everything.

Chu Yuechan reached out and gently wiped the dirt off his forehead: "You have been here for so long and don't want to leave, don't you know how to face them?"

In such a short period of time, he had become so old and destitute. One can imagine how deep his soul had sunk during this period.

She had experienced this kind of abyss before, and she understood how desperate it was. When she blew up her own profound veins, she was determined to die, but it was Yun Che who pulled her back from the abyss and saved her miraculously.

“…” Yun Che closed his eyes, then nodded gently.

Chu Yuechan whispered: "Although you have experienced so many ups and downs and seen countless worlds that others cannot imagine, your nature has not changed at all. You are always used to, even overbearingly wanting to protect others and become dependent on others, but you can't accept that you can only rely on others... Especially the important people in your heart, you can't accept that you become a burden to them."

Yun Che: “…”

“Thinking back to the past, I was cornered by those two dragons. In order to kill them, I had no choice but to explode my own profound veins, becoming a cripple.”

Speaking of this, her voice was calm and gentle: "At that time, I couldn't accept that I had become a useless person, and I just wanted to die. Do you still remember how you pulled me back from the quagmire of death?"

“…” Yun Che’s lips moved slightly.

"In order to protect me and prove your will to me, you carried me into the Dragon God Trial... This not only doubled the difficulty of the trial, but you also had to divide your attention and strength to protect me. At that time, did you blame me for being a burden?" she asked.

It was also during that time that his persistent protection melted all the ice in her heart, and she rekindled her desire for life because of him... and after his "death", she was willing to betray her master in order to leave him a bloodline, and she never had any regrets.

Yun Che shook his head without hesitation: “How could that be? How could you be a burden!”

"So, do you like the feeling of protecting me and being depended on by me?" she asked again.

Yun Che still nodded without hesitation.

"In that case, why don't you want to rely on them?" Chu Yuechan smiled: "Your parents, relatives, friends, your wife... They love you, not because you are strong, not because you can make them rely on you, but because of your existence, because you live peacefully in their lives. Being able to rely on you is naturally a kind of happiness, but if you can rely on them and use their own strength to protect you, for all those who love you, isn't it another kind of happiness."

"Just like you protect them and are relied upon by them."

Yun Che was stunned. Something in his heart seemed to be silently dissolving. He shook his head and chuckled, “I am indeed… so stupid that I can’t even figure out such a simple thing.”

In fact, if someone else had said the same thing to Chu Yuechan yesterday, his heart would still not be able to get rid of the gloom. Chu Yuechan's words only brushed away the last layer of obstacles in his heart. What really changed was Yun Che's state of mind.

"There is one more thing... I remember clearly what you said to me back then, and I haven't forgotten a single word." Chu Yuechan looked at him and nodded gently, "No matter what I lose, as long as it's not my life, as long as I'm still alive, there is always hope of getting it back. Being alive is the greatest hope, and everything is possible when you're alive!"

“……!” Yun Che’s eyes were fixed… These were the words he shouted out when Chu Yuechan had exploded her profound veins and was determined to die.

He held Chu Yuechan's hand tightly and laughed. He had obviously cried all his tears, but for some reason, his eyes became hazy again... He knew what Chu Yuechan meant by these words. She not only wiped away all the haze in his heart, but also wanted him to have hope.

"Little fairy," he called softly, "Don't worry, I will live well. Because I have you, Wuxin, my parents who value me more than their lives, my wife is the Blue Wind Queen, my fiancée is the number one goddess on the continent... and there are so many people who love me, why shouldn't I live better than others."

“Even if I don’t have profound strength for the rest of my life, I will try my best to live for a long time, a hundred years… a thousand years… I will accompany Wuxin to grow up… I will make up for what I owe you and your daughter… a thousand times over…”

He tightened his grip on Chu Yuechan's hands little by little, and this time, he would never let go.

"Okay." Looking into his eyes, Chu Yuechan said vaguely: "Remember what you said just now. If you forget, I will tell you word by word..."

She stopped talking suddenly, and then her face turned pale.

Yun Che suddenly felt something strange: "Little fairy, why are you..."

puff

The scarlet blood sprayed on Yun Che's body, and it was like thousands of scarlet steel needles piercing into Yun Che's pupils and soul.
