"Impossible! This can't possibly succeed!"
Liu Zhaodi shook her head, her face full of disbelief. How could such a thing happen on the battlefield?
"So?" Jiang Yuan's expression was indescribable, his heart filled with a mix of emotions, he no longer knew whether to be happy or sad.
“Because the Dao Embryo had died and was powerless to resist us, we used great supernatural powers to strip it of all its innate abilities, allowing you to be born in my womb with a true mortal body. So, you are truly my own child.” The woman’s face held an indescribable expression, a mixture of affection and guilt.
Liu Zhaodi felt something was amiss and questioned, "No, then why are you doing this?"
"Why!"
Both Jiang Tiandi and the woman pondered for a moment, until the woman finally revealed a secret: "The universe is reborn from destruction, and will also be destroyed in its rebirth."
Upon hearing the words "universe" and "destruction," Liu Zhaodi remained silent. Clearly, she also understood what lay at the end of countless battlefields.
Jiang Yuan was filled with only one thought. He asked in bewilderment, "Since we're his biological children, why do I have to live such a life of wandering?"
He learned that he was an orphan who was adopted by the Jiang family when he was young, and was expelled after he was ten years old because he almost destroyed the Soul River.
“Yuan’er, after you were born, we were worried that having you with us would be a bad influence, causing your potential to be reactivated. So we sent you to a village woman’s house outside the city. We suppressed our own energy during that time before bringing you back to the Jiang family. However!”
The woman chuckled self-deprecatingly and continued, "We were too naive. How could a Dao Embryo be so easily assimilated into a mortal embryo? We spent eight years trying to suppress the energy of the Dao Embryo, but we still couldn't completely suppress it. Moreover, because of our long-term contact with you, the universe sensed our existence and began to intervene. So we had to fake our deaths and leave behind a huge amount of energy for the Jiang family to 'nurture' you."
"Heh!" Jiang Yuan didn't say anything. He knew that the training here was definitely meant to destroy the Dao embryo.
"The Jiang family is unaware of this secret, so they continued to raise you according to our instructions. And because of the experience of the previous eight years, you did succeed in erasing your Dao embryo. Do you remember your cultivation level when you were ten years old?" the woman asked.
Jiang Yuan shook his head; he had no intention of answering.
"Profound God Realm!" The woman revealed a rare pride when she said this realm. She continued, "This is the last energy feedback from the Dao Embryo. In other words, from this moment on, you have become a person of flesh and blood, not a god born, and you have the true potential to be reborn after breaking through."
These words might seem like a jumbled mess to an ordinary person, because why would anyone aspire to be an ordinary person instead of being born a god? However, the four people present were not ordinary people, and they all understood the purpose of this setup.
"I remember that year you disrupted the Soul River according to our plan, almost destroying the entire Jiang family. You also showed your first sense of responsibility as a man, sealing the Soul River with your cultivation. We, in turn, took advantage of the situation to have the Jiang family expel you from the family, allowing you to live a truly independent life, and not to come into contact with the Jiang family's cultivation system too early, so as to prevent the power of the Dao Embryo from making a comeback and damaging the Dao Embryo mortal body."
The woman smiled, seemingly recalling one of her few family memories.
However, Jiang Yuan was extremely agitated. He said coldly, "Enough! Plans, plans, everything is a plan, from birth to adulthood, and now, it's all a plan. Don't you have anything outside the plan to tell me?"
Jiang Yuan's sudden outburst of anger left the two of them stunned, as they hadn't expected him to react this way.
Realizing Jiang Yuan was losing control of his emotions, Liu Zhaodi quickly tried to calm him down, saying, "Uncle and Aunt, Jiang Yuan didn't mean that. He actually wanted to ask what your situation is now, and whether he can actually see you. After all, he doesn't even know who his parents are, he..."
Liu Zhaodi didn't continue. She knew very well that this was what Jiang Yuan truly cared about. What he wanted was just an ordinary but real family, not a false plan full of ulterior motives.
Hearing Liu Zhaodi's words, the two breathed a sigh of relief. The woman then continued, "We..."
However, Emperor Jiang shook his head, signaling the woman not to say more, and simply said, "Yuan'er already has many guesses about us, but we don't want you to know anything about us on the battlefield, otherwise not only you, but the entire Imperial Star will be implicated. You just need to know that we are in love..."
"Enough!"
Jiang Yuan shouted sharply, then waved his hand and said, "Let's pretend that nothing happened today. I'm still that orphan, and you'll all disappear from my world. Let's all live in peace."
After saying that, Jiang Yuan shook the cycle of reincarnation, shattering the illusory images left behind by Jiang Tiandi and the other two. He himself also spread his wings of light and rushed out of the ancestral land, then flew towards the sky.
"Jiang Yuan!"
Liu Zhaodi hurriedly went to chase after him, but because Jiang Yuan made such a big commotion, not only Jiang Dahai and Jiang Nian, who were guarding outside, were alerted, but the three family heads and the half-decayed people in the clan also sensed it. She had to stay and explain to these people before chasing after him.
However, by the time she chased after him, Jiang Yuan had already broken through the atmosphere of the Imperial Star and continued to break through the million-meter altitude.
"That idiot!"
Having no other choice, Liu Zhaodi put on the crown and used the power of luck to tear open space and reach the atmosphere.
"Why not give your parents a chance, and give yourself a chance too?" Liu Zhaodi asked, following Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan didn't speak. His usually deep eyes now revealed a rare sense of confusion. He didn't know the meaning of his existence. He always thought that becoming stronger would allow him to live a carefree and unrestrained life. But he was still bound by a pair of powerful hands, which controlled his suffocating life.
