"Mother!"
A mist clouded Jiang Yuan's eyes. He wasn't as strong as he thought. He could remain unmoved when he saw Jiang Tiandi, but when he saw the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but feel all sorts of emotions.
"You brat, you've got some nerve, daring to rummage through our graves!" the man scolded Jiang Yuan, but the scolding had a different meaning to the two of them.
"Uncle and Aunt, this..." Liu Zhaodi suddenly felt guilty, but thinking of Jiang Yuan, she mustered her courage and said, "I encouraged him, and besides, we didn't just stir up trouble, we just..."
Towards the end, even Liu Zhaodi herself didn't quite believe what she was saying.
“Father, it has nothing to do with Zhao Di. I just want to know the truth about some things,” Jiang Yuan confessed, his tone unusually heavy.
Now that things have come to this, there are many things that need an explanation.
"well!"
The adoptive parents sighed simultaneously, their eyes darting back and forth before the woman finally spoke up with a sigh: "Indeed, we can't keep this from you anymore."
"Um, should I excuse myself for a moment?" Liu Zhaodi seemed a little embarrassed. This was Jiang Yuan's family matter, and it wasn't appropriate for an outsider like her to overhear.
"Need not!"
Jiang Yuan reached out and grabbed Liu Zhaodi tightly, saying, "We're all family, why are we speaking like strangers?"
Liu Zhaodi was the person he could trust most in the world, without exception.
"No need to be so formal. In fact, Yuan'er's relationship with you is even closer than ours!" the woman said gently, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead.
"Speaking of which, this kid is a real bastard. He lost his virginity, while you're the one guarding his yin." The man pointed at Jiang Yuan and said with exasperation.
"this!"
Liu Zhaodi could only hide her displeasure with a wry smile. She just wanted to ask if it was appropriate for the two of them to do something like reopening old wounds.
“Yuan’er, we should choose an auspicious day to marry this young lady into the family, that would be in accordance with the rules.” The woman also chimed in, clearly very satisfied with Liu Zhaodi, otherwise she wouldn’t be in such a hurry.
"Uncle and Aunt, there's no rush. We're already making plans. Once we've finished these things, we'll prepare for the wedding," Liu Zhaodi quickly explained, her words implying that she was urging the two elders to tell Jiang Yuan the truth.
"Father, Mother, who exactly are you?" Jiang Yuan pressed on while the iron was hot.
The two women were clearly prepared, showing no surprise when Jiang Yuan asked the question. After a few seconds of contemplation, the woman said, "Yuan'er, you don't need to doubt our identities. But, we really have to be honest with you about yours!"
"I?"
Jiang Yuan didn't expect the other party to ask him a question in return.
"Yuan'er, do you know of a Dao embryo that is born naturally and nurtured by nature?" the woman suddenly asked.
"A Dao Embryo born of Heaven and Earth?" Jiang Yuan immediately searched his mind, and finally understood what a Dao Embryo was only through the message transmitted by the Eye of All Heavens.
There are countless life forms in the universe, and these life forms, due to their different ways of being born, have created different levels of existence. Lower life forms are like reptiles and mayflies, while higher life forms can create heaven and earth. Among them, the Dao Embryo, born and nurtured by heaven and earth, is the embryo of the highest level of life forms. They do not need a mother body; the universe is their mother body. As long as they absorb enough power, they will appear in the universe as innate beings. If nothing unexpected happens, even a Dao Embryo can at least become a true god.
These true gods, nurtured and cultivated by the universe, will be the strictest enforcers of the universe's laws. They will maintain the order and stability of the entire universe, and their status will be incomparably exalted.
However, precisely because of this, naturally born Dao embryos are extremely rare. At the beginning of the universe, nearly 99% of Dao embryos were conceived, and these Dao embryos have all become gods who maintain the universe. The remaining 1% will slowly appear during the long evolution of the universe.
“I think you already know who you are,” the woman said apologetically.
Before Jiang Yuan could speak, Liu Zhaodi couldn't hold back any longer. She denied it, saying, "Impossible. Jiang Yuan is definitely not a Dao Embryo. There are no traces of a Dao Embryo on his body. He is just an ordinary person with flesh and blood."
She was somewhat skeptical at this point, but then added to convince herself, "At most, it's just the successor chosen by the Grim Reaper; it certainly won't be a Dao Embryo."
"Mother, please continue."
Jiang Yuan was unusually calm at this moment; he was probably close to uncovering the truth about his origins.
"The reason you are an ordinary person is partly due to our selfish motives!"
The woman sighed as she spoke, and after a long while, she continued to recall: "When my husband and I found you, we were still in the void of the universe. Because of the decline in the energy level of the universe, the gestation of the Dao Embryo had become extremely difficult, so when we found you, the Dao Embryo was already close to dying."
"Although my husband and I were moved by compassion, we thought of another way."
The woman paused, biting her lip, and hesitated for a long time before continuing, "Seizing the power of heaven and earth."
"The innate Dao embryo, the acquired mortal body, break through and establish itself."
