Lin Qianqian made up her mind and spoke again, her tone still gentle, but her words were chilling to the bone.
“Your child’s physical defects are easy to repair, but what she suffers from is not illness, but a lack of lifespan. Lifespan is predetermined, and changing it requires a price; it is not something I can arbitrarily bestow upon her.”
At this moment, the mother was on the verge of collapse.
Is there really no other way?
"Yes! If you insist on saving her, are you willing to give up half of your lifespan for her?"
It was a truly unexpected turn of events; the mother's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.
"Yes, I'm willing. I'm willing to give my entire life for my child, as long as she's healthy, long-lived, and safe!"
Lin Qianqian shook her head and spoke again: "Giving her all her lifespan would actually shorten her lifespan. In her condition, without your protection, she can't possibly grow up safely!"
"But I don't know how long I will live. My health isn't very good right now, so I don't think I'll live very long. If my lifespan isn't even up to the average lifespan, then the remaining half won't be many years. I can't bear the thought of her only living a few years."
At this moment, the little girl, who had been half asleep, suddenly woke up.
She struggled to open her eyes and murmured as if in a dream, "I want to be with my mother, I don't want to be alone."
Seeing the longing for her mother in her child's eyes, Lin Qianqian closed her eyes.
Ever since she gave birth to her son, she couldn't stand seeing such scenes.
She gathered her thoughts and explained in the simplest and most understandable way.
“I can easily use my divine power to repair the deficiencies in your child’s body. However, she is born with a deficiency in her life force and soul, and cannot continuously generate her own vital energy. Therefore, you need to live and give her half of your lifespan, connecting your lives with hers. From now on, day and night, you will also need to continuously transmit half of your life force to her. Simply put, one person’s life, two people living. Do you understand?”
"I understand, I understand. I'd give my life for her! Since I gave birth to her, she's my responsibility. I'm willing to raise her and support her for the rest of my life!"
"That's good!"
Lin Qianqian first patted the child's chest to fill in the gaps in the little girl's body.
For the goddess of life who controls life, this is a very simple matter.
Then she touched the mother's forehead again, and a thin silver thread was pulled out from between her eyebrows. She then inserted the thread into the little girl's body.
The mother suddenly felt weak and collapsed to the ground from her kneeling position.
She clearly felt at that moment that half of her life had been taken away.
But she wasn't afraid or panicked; on the contrary, she was unusually happy because the child she was holding tightly in her arms had visibly become rosy-cheeked.
The little girl's eyes widened this time, and she even had the strength to raise her hand to touch her mother's face, calling out clearly, "Mommy!"
The mother held her child and cried her heart out, crying out all the grievances and fears of the past few days, and all the hardships and sorrows she had endured!
After healing the little girl, Lin Qianqian reached out and touched the girl's forehead, blessing her as the goddess of life: "May you have peace, good fortune, health, and joy in the future!"
After speaking, she looked at Yunze, indicating that he should leave. Yunze understood her meaning, took her hand, and prepared to leave across space.
He paused again when he caught a glimpse of the little girl's bright eyes out of the corner of his eye.
He thought for a moment and said, "Your cultivation aptitude is excellent. After you recover, find a quiet place to cultivate! When you achieve success in your cultivation, you will not only be able to extend your own life, but also extend your mother's lifespan. In this way, Qianqian's efforts to save you will not have been in vain!"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand, and a sliver of light drifted into the little girl's forehead.
The little girl's previously bewildered eyes immediately cleared.
She understood what Yunze meant. She struggled to get up from her mother's arms, knelt down, and respectfully kowtowed three times to Lin Qianqian and Yunze.
Her mother also stopped crying, wiped her face a couple of times, and immediately kowtowed to Lin Qianqian to express her gratitude: "Thank you so much for saving my life, Goddess! I will be grateful and worship you for the rest of my life!"
Neither Yunze nor Lin Qianqian said anything more. Yunze waved his sleeve, and he and Lin Qianqian disappeared from the spot.
The mother and daughter on the ground also disappeared at the same time. It was no longer appropriate for them to remain there.
Regardless of the sensation caused by their appearance and disappearance.
A moment later, the mother and daughter appeared at the foot of a remote and quiet mountain village on Earth, a place rich in spiritual energy and with simple and honest folk customs.
Meanwhile, Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze were already inside the time tunnel.
"You left the cultivation technique for that little girl." Lin Qianqian's words were not a question, but a statement.
"Yes, she has excellent aptitude and should achieve great things. She might even ascend to the Abyss Realm to help you." Yunze didn't hide anything and admitted it directly.
"When I saved her, I didn't expect anything in return!"
"I know." Yunze looked at his wife gently. Of course he knew that she had saved the little girl. He hadn't expected anything in return; he was just following his heart. He wanted to save her, so he did.
Just like back then, when I saved him in the secret realm, I didn't expect anything in return.
But it was her kindness back then that forged their destiny in this life.
This is Lin Qianqian, the goddess of life!
However, they did not expect that Yunze's words would come true.
Centuries later, the child indeed ascended to heaven with her mother. After ascending to the celestial realm, she voluntarily came to serve under Lin Qianqian.
For millions of years thereafter, he fought for Lin Qianqian and the Zhiyuan Realm, becoming a renowned war god in the celestial realm.
She remained loyal to Lin Qianqian throughout her life, serving as Lin Qianqian's sharpest weapon, and never harbored any disloyalty.
However, that's a story for another time.
...
Where are we going next?
"Go to the Beast World."
That's right, Lin Qianqian plans to go to the Beast World to fulfill her promise to the Beast God Chao Huai and see if she can save Hua Yan.
After all, the Beast God gave Lin Qianqian the Song of Life, allowing her to cultivate the divine path ahead of time and control the laws of life.
She must repay that debt of karma!
She suddenly remembered something and asked, "You said we're going to the orc plane, should we go back to the Abyss Realm first and bring Wen Mingyue along?"
"Why bring her along?" Yunze didn't react for a moment. He didn't pay much attention to other people, so he couldn't figure it out right away.
Lin Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and reminded him, "Have you forgotten what the Dragon God Long Yu was thinking back then? I want to give Mingyue and him another chance and let them choose again."
Lin Qianqian's words reminded Yunze of the past. Back then, the Dragon God Long Yu seemed to have fallen in love with Wen Mingyue at first sight, but Wen Mingyue rejected him decisively for various reasons.
However, the situation is different now. Wen Mingyue has relinquished her previous duties and tasks on Blue Star. She has now ascended to immortality, her life level equal to that of the Dragon God. We can give them a chance to choose again.
As for how they choose, that's their business, and Lin Qianqian won't interfere.
She just didn't want to see her old friend have any regrets; she preferred happy endings.
