Yun Che had endless love and pity for Yun Wuxin, but also endless guilt.
Besides feeling guilty, there was one thing that comforted him… that was that Yun Wuxin inherited a little bit of the Heretic God’s power from him, which gave her an extremely proud talent in the Mysterious Dao that even surpassed others’ cognition. At the age of twelve, she had already become a Tyrant Emperor in this humble plane. There was no doubt that her future would be extremely bright. It wouldn’t be long before she would surpass Feng Xue’er and recreate the “myth” that he had in those days.
This is not only a comfort, but also a great pride as a father.
now……
Fortunately, although Yun Wuxin's profound energy had dissipated, her profound veins had not been damaged. Even if they had been damaged, as long as they were not completely destroyed, the current Yun Che could repair them. She could continue to cultivate after her profound energy was gone, but... her talent, which was enough to make her proud, was gone.
Gone forever.
His long-dormant Heretic God Profound Veins had awakened, and his profound strength, divine body, divine soul, and divine consciousness were also recovering every moment... But the price of all this was his daughter's future.
If he could return all of this to her, he would do it without hesitation even if it meant he would be crippled forever... But, he couldn't even do this.
His body was shaking, his heart was twitching, and his mind was in complete confusion. His five gradually twisted fingers had gripped his skull to the point of slight deformation, but he was unaware of it… He didn't even notice when Yun Wuxin woke up and gently opened his eyes.
"Daddy..." Yun Wuxin looked at her father and called softly, but she was too delicate and her voice was as soft as cotton wool.
Yun Che’s entire body shook violently. He raised his head abruptly and met Yun Wuxin’s misty eyes. He hurried forward and said in a voice as gentle as possible, but still with a hoarse tone: “Xin’er, you’re awake… Are you… Are you hungry now… Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere…”
Yun Wuxin shook his head lightly: "Daddy, why are you crying?"
“Eh?” Yun Wuxin’s words made Yun Che feel the cold wet marks on his face. He quickly reached out and wiped away the wet marks with his hands and feet, revealing a smile: “No, no, how could Daddy cry. It’s just… it’s just…”
Before he could finish his sentence, his voice was choked with sobs... sobs that he could not control or suppress no matter what.
"..." He turned his head, but his body and voice were still shaking. He tried to adjust himself for a long time, but he couldn't stay calm at all. He could only say painfully: "Xin'er, you...why...want to..."
"Daddy," Yun Wuxin interrupted what he was about to say, his pale face showing an extremely pure and beautiful smile: "You were so weak before, and I felt insecure at all. From now on, I can finally be protected by Daddy to my heart's content... Hehe."
"..." His heart, and even his entire soul, was filled with something too warm. After a long while, he spoke with difficulty: "Daddy will... protect you for life... If anyone dares to hurt you... I... will..."
He didn't say anything more, and he couldn't say anything more.
“Yeah!” Yun Wuxin responded very vigorously. Although she had lost all her profound strength and talent, her face was full of happiness and satisfaction: “Then Daddy should protect himself first… Well, I just woke up… and I’m a little sleepy. Daddy looks so tired… Let’s go to bed too, okay?”
Yun Che’s face was extremely haggard… But Yun Wuxin didn’t know that her father’s power level was very high and he no longer needed to sleep.
“Okay…” Yun Che nodded gently.
Yun Wuxin's lips curved slightly and her eyes closed heavily. She seemed to be trying to struggle, but her body was too fragile to resist sleepiness. With her eyelashes trembling slightly, she fell asleep again.
“…” Yun Che breathed lightly, but his chest rose and fell violently.
Looking at Yun Wuxin silently, he slowly stretched out his hand, reaching out to her sleeping cheek... But when it was about to touch, his hand stopped, and then suddenly retracted.
This hand of his had been stained with countless sins, touched countless darkness, and was stained with countless blood... He had also personally taken away his daughter's talent.
He withdrew his arm, stood up silently, and walked out of the room.
His eyes were cloudy and confused.
The door was pushed open, and it was already dark. Feng Xian'er stood in the corner of the yard, her beautiful eyes filled with tears and her eyes were red. When she saw Yun Che, she hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and walked towards him, but her steps were extremely timid...
“Master, I…” Feng Xian’er lowered her head, not daring to look Yun Che in the eye.
“No need to say more.” Yun Che didn’t look at her, his eyes were blank, and his voice was weak: “It’s not your fault.”
“I… I…” Yun Che’s emotionless voice made Feng Xian’er even more panicked: “I really didn’t know that Master Phoenix God would… I…”
“Go now.” Yun Che had no expression on his face and never looked at her: “Go back to where you should go.”
"..." Feng Xian'er was stunned, tears falling from her eyes: "Master... please don't chase me away... let me take care of Xin'er, okay... I..."
“Go away.” Yun Che closed his eyes.
“…” Feng Xian’er’s body shook, tears welling up like a spring. She stretched out her hand and pressed her lips hard to stop herself from crying. With her vision completely blurred by tears, she stared blankly at Yun Che’s back for a long while before finally turning around and leaving…
Under the night sky, there are sparkling stars.
“…” Yun Che raised his head and looked towards the full moon in the sky.
The moonlight today was particularly dim, as if covered by a layer of gray thin clouds. The night wind was also unusually cold, and although it was only a few strands, it could penetrate into the bone marrow.
He stared at the night sky for a long time, motionless, as if frozen.
A figure came over and stood silently beside him. She was dressed in a snow-white dress, and in the moonlight, she looked like a fairy from heaven, making the entire night sky seem much brighter.
“Little fairy…” Yun Che did not turn around, and said blankly: “Tell me… am I… the most useless and failed father… in this world…”
Chu Yuechan looked at him and nodded gently: "Yes."
Yun Che slowly closed his eyes.
"Back then, when Xin'er was still in my womb, she was murdered and nearly died." Chu Yuechan whispered, "At that time, you didn't protect her, and you weren't by her side... You didn't even know about it."
"When she was born, I almost died. You didn't witness her birth, and you almost made her an orphan without a father or a mother."
“…” Yun Che’s body trembled violently.
"For eleven years, she and I lived in an isolated world. She accompanied me and protected me, while her father became stronger and stronger, and his status became higher and higher, but he never accompanied her or protected her for a moment. Her life was more lonely and incomplete than any other girl's."
"However, after you got together, she never had any dissatisfaction or resentment towards you. Instead, she was close to you. When you were seriously injured, she was willing to give up her talent for you without hesitation...even if it meant her life would be ordinary."
“…” Yun Che’s body swayed in the night wind.
Chu Yuechan's eyes became particularly gentle: "Xin'er is a good daughter, and we are proud of her. But you...are not a good father. Perhaps, as you said, you are the most useless and failed father."
She turned around and looked at him, her eyes brighter than the moonlight: "So, are you going to comfort yourself with self-blame and guilt, or be a better and stronger father to protect her and make up for her?"
The confused soul was struck gently yet heavily... Yun Che's trembling and shaking body froze.
Chu Yuechan turned around and walked away slowly... After a few steps, she suddenly stopped and said softly: "Just now, I saw Xian'er crying and leaving... You should understand that she is the most helpless and innocent person in this matter."
"Over the past year, we can all see that she has a pure heart for you, but she never expresses it, and never expects a response. She took all the responsibility for Xin'er's matter on herself, which was already painful. Not only did you not comfort her, but you vented your sorrow and resentment on the most innocent girl who was already extremely self-blaming..."
"You are also a father. Have you ever thought about what her father would feel if he knew his daughter was treated like this?"
Yun Che: “…”
After Chu Yuechan left, Yun Che still stood there. For a long time, he said nothing, made no movement, and even his expression did not change at all… Only his eyes flickered incomparably incomparable confusion under the moonlight.
Jasmine's words when she said goodbye to him in the Star God Realm...
Xia Qingyue resolutely left after sending him to the forbidden land of samsara...
The words Shen Xi had said to him time and time again...
It all came to his mind, mixed and intertwined.
"You are the only creator of the world, and you have talents and opportunities that they would not dare to hope for in ten lifetimes. You are the most qualified person in the world to have ambitions... Why is your first reaction to return to the lower realm?"
…………
Time passed silently, and before we knew it, the dark clouds that obscured the bright moon quietly dissipated.
The confusion in his heart gradually subsided, his eyes slowly became clear, and gradually, even the night wind was no longer cold, and the moonlight in the night sky was quiet and warm.
“Thank you, little fairy.” Yun Che said softly, with a slight smile on his lips.
He raised his hand and looked at his palm. As his divine body recovered, he could once again feel the affinity between his body and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which meant that the power of the God of Wilderness had also begun to gradually awaken.
As you clench your hands, you will gradually tighten them. What overflows from your body is not only the power of new life, but also the responsibility and new life that you will uphold forever.
Xin'er... he whispered in his heart... The strength I have now is because of you, so this is not only my strength, but also your strength.
For you, for all the important people around us, in order to never lose anything and never regret again, I will hold on to the power I have now, make it even stronger, make myself the most powerful person in the world, and make sure that no one in this world can bully you anymore.
No matter how hard it is, no matter how long it takes.
Whether in the underworld or in the divine world!
