Against the Gods Chapter 2017: Heart-piercing and Soul-piercing



Yun Che flew out of the Qilin Divine Domain with Yun Xi. After confirming that they were out of Ximen Boyun’s spiritual perception range, they increased their speed dramatically, passing through one desert and city area after another until they flew into a sandstorm.

Compared to when Yun Che arrived, the sandstorm here has also calmed down a lot.

When we left the sandstorm area, the light did not become brighter, but suddenly dimmed.

As far as the eye can see, the world ahead is grey and hazy, as if covered by a layer of everlasting thick fog. It is impossible to distinguish between the earth and the sky, and it is even more impossible to touch the edge that seems to be non-existent.

The words "Sea of Fog" appeared in Yun Che's soul sea.

The "fog" in the fog sea is the overly thick abyss dust. It occupies more than 90% of the space in the abyss, and is a place of death known to all the spirits in the abyss. The deeper you go, the thicker the abyss dust becomes, the more terrifying the abyss beasts become, and the closer you are to death.

He knew that the Linyuan Realm was close to the Sea of Fog on the first day of his arrival.

After leaving the Linyuan Realm, Yun Che's soul strings, which had been tense all the time, finally relaxed a little. Weakness and severe pain came over him like crazy, as if thousands of mountains were pressing down on every corner of his body.

Yun Xi noticed his abnormality from his disordered breath and obviously swaying flight path. She said coldly, "Put me down."

The marginal land was already sparsely populated. This place was also close to the sea of fog, and within the reach of his divine sense, there was no human habitation.

Every time he opened the Divine Ashes in the past, he would inevitably faint for a long time due to the backlash. This time he actually held on for such a long time that not only was his body on the verge of collapse, but even his consciousness had become visibly dazed.

Yun Che slowly fell down without insisting. The moment his feet touched the ground, he felt extremely exhausted and wanted to kneel on the ground, but he stood up straight and tried his best to keep his body stable.

He must heal Yun Xi’s injuries first… he must.

At least... I can't fall down in front of her.

He regained consciousness from his momentary trance with difficulty, and realized that Yun Xi had already separated from him and moved ten steps away.

Her wounds had already healed, and her breathing was exceptionally calm. She was definitely not in the tragic state of dying that she was in in the Lin Shen realm.

The same injury would be extremely serious if it happened to a human, but she is the Dragon God after all.

Even though Yun Che's mind was a little confused now, he still understood that Yun Xi's previous state was fake. Perhaps it was to lower the vigilance of Ximen Borong and his people, or perhaps... it was just to irritate him.

His throat trembled, and he called out the name that still sounded like a dream to him at this moment: "Yun... Xi..."

"My name is Long Xi!" She turned her back to him and said in a cold voice, "Long is my mother's surname, Xi is my mother's gift. Don't call me by the wrong name again!"

A thin layer of pure and holy white light floated on her body, silently healing the wounds on her body.

That was the miracle of life in operation... As expected, she had inherited her mother's light power and had cultivated the miracle of life.

Yun Che took a step forward and said softly, “I know… I owe you too much. I am not worthy of being your father. You have every right to hate me…”

"No, I don't hate you, not at all."

Yun Xi's words were still very calm: "The root cause of my mother's misfortune was the choice she made back then. It has nothing to do with you. She has no regrets or complaints. I am her daughter.

We should share everything with her, and have no complaints or hatred towards her."

Yun Che: “…”

“You are indeed my biological father. But…” She finally turned around and looked directly into Yun Che’s eyes. However, her gaze was even colder than her voice: “I no longer need a father. I don’t need you.”

"If I hadn't had to use you to escape this time, I would never have let you know of my existence."

Indeed, nothing about her expressed the slightest resentment, only extreme indifference and alienation.

But for Yun Che, it was far more heart-wrenching and soul-piercing than hatred.

Before this, she had been concealing her breath and appearance tightly, and was extremely averse to his approach, even threatening to commit suicide.

She had recognized him a long time ago, but she didn't want to recognize him at all.

The eldest daughter, Yun Wuxin... He also failed to witness her birth, and also missed her growth. But when they met, she was so happy and excited, like a pure elf.

Because although she didn't have a father by her side, she always had her mother by her side.

And Yun Xi...what on earth is she...

The severe injuries and the intense pain in her heart and soul blurred her vision. When she saw it clearly again, the crisscrossing black marks on her face stung her eyes.

He blurted out, "Who caused the wound on your face..."

"Heh." Yun Xi smiled, but there was no emotion in her smile: "Of course it's me."

Yun Che: “……!?”

Yun Xi said coldly: "My mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. I am lucky and unlucky to have inherited her looks."

"When I was fifteen, I noticed that others looked at me differently, and more and more of their spiritual consciousness stayed on me."

"So, I stole an Abyss Core from the Mist Sea Abyss Beast, chiseled open my own face, and released the Abyss Dust in the Abyss Core until it corroded... so that no one dared to look at me any more."

“……!!!” Yun Che’s body shook violently, and he was finally unable to support himself any longer. He fell heavily to the ground with his knees, his entire body trembling, unable to stand up.

The pain and cruelty to Yun Che were like thousands of arrows piercing his heart, but when Yun Xi spoke of it, he was indifferent, as if he was describing a trivial matter of others: "This is caused by the erosion of Yuanchen, and it has been completely integrated with my body for decades. Even if it is a miracle of life, don't think of removing it."

“…” Yun Che gritted his teeth and tried to stand up several times, but he was so heartbroken that he couldn’t muster even a bit of strength.

"Why...why would you..."

Suddenly, he thought of something, raised his head sharply, and his pupils shrank: "Where is your mother? She...is not with you?"

"Of course mother is by my side!" Yun Xi's tone suddenly became heavy, and she immediately turned her head away, not wanting him to see the sadness in her eyes. She murmured absentmindedly, "Always here... Mother would never leave me... Never..."

Yun Che's heartstrings did not relax at all

, that unconscious whisper made him feel even more uneasy: "What happened to Shen Xi? What happened to her? Tell me!"

"It's none of your business what happens to my mother!"

The cold words were filled with sharpness and cruelty, piercing Yun Che's heart fiercely, causing him to freeze there all of a sudden.

Yun Xi turned his eyes away again and let out a breath slowly... He could just ignore it and stay away from it, so why did his emotions still get out of control?

She said coldly: "When mother was in the most pain and despair, you were not by her side. She held on alone, and even more so to save me... Haha..."

"When I was the most lonely, the darkest, the saddest, the most desperate, the most dying, the most in need of... even a little support, you were never there."

She took a deep breath and her voice gradually returned to calm. "But it doesn't matter. I have overcome everything. My mother is also so strong and still exists."

“…” Yun Che closed his eyes, blood gushed out from the corners of his mouth, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

A self-destructive face, a coldness that came from the bone... He couldn't imagine, and didn't dare to imagine how she spent the years in the abyss.

"Now, I am strong enough. I can protect myself and I have found a way to 'wake up' my mother... I no longer need anyone to rely on, and I don't even crave for anyone to rely on me, but you appeared 'at the right time'!"

"And once he showed up..." Yun Xi gritted his teeth slightly: "He almost destroyed my only hope of saving my mother!"

“…?” Yun Che muttered in a daze, “You took the Lin Gu Ling Lan because of… Shen Xi?”

"That's right." Yun Xi said slowly: "Originally, I could easily obtain the Lingu Linglan by concealing my aura and quietly approaching the Lin God."

"Because my grandfather... the ancient blue dragon was very kind to the Linshen clan in ancient times. The Linshen are the most grateful race, and the unrepaid favor will be passed down from generation to generation. The Linshen in the Linshen realm will definitely recognize my breath. As long as I open my mouth, it will wish to give me all the Linbone Linglan."

"I could have taken it in safely and left quietly."

“But you…” Yun Xi’s chest rose and fell: “Do you dare to say that the sudden demise of the Lin God has nothing to do with you!?”

“…” His heart and soul were struck by another extremely heavy blow, and Yun Che’s palm that was supporting the ground trembled for a long time.

Grandfather... the ancient blue dragon...

Shen Xi, is indeed the daughter of the ancient blue dragon...

But at this moment, there was only pain in his soul, and he no longer had the energy to think.

"So, don't think that I have to be grateful to you just because you saved me. You owe me that, and you even gave me injuries!"

Yun Che's consciousness seemed to have fallen into a dark sea, filled with guilt, bitterness, pain, and self-hatred...

He was crowned emperor in the divine world, and all the spirits in heaven and earth feared him and bowed to him. How majestic he was.

Little did he know that in another world, his daughter was carrying her mother on her back, walking alone in the dark abyss.

"Yun... Xi..." He whispered softly. All the words in the world seemed so pale at this moment: "I'm sorry... I don't know... I... really don't know..."
