Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian racked his brain up and couldn’t find the answer. The fact that Hongyue’s divine soul could survive and appear in the Azure World proved they didn’t truly die inside the Primordial God Forsaken Land… But how did they do it?

Thinking of this, Yun Lintian tried to contact the Land of Beyond Heaven, but it was futile again.

On the side, Wu Qingcheng looked at the deep scar on Shen Huang’s chest and asked. “How many years do you have?”

“It’s more than enough to help you settle in.” Shen Huang looked at her with a kind smile.

A complicated feeling appeared in Wu Qingcheng’s heart. She didn’t know how to behave in front of this “grandfather” of her. Did she hate him for not helping her and her father? The answer was no. But she definitely couldn’t recognize him as her grandfather. At least not now.

Shen Huang seemed to see through Wu Qingcheng’s thoughts. He sighed softly and said. “It’s my fault for making the Shen Clan become like this. When I was born, my parents left me at a temple in a deep mountain. I didn’t know why they left me, and my master kept telling me they must encounter a difficult situation.”

“Twenty years later, I became a practitioner and went down the mountain to earn some resources. I visited a small town not far away, and I met my parents that day. Although I didn’t know what they looked like, I could recognize them through my power.”

“Do you know what I saw on that day? They actually lived a good life and had a few kids. As much as I wanted to rush up to ask them why they left me, I decided to stay away from them. Since then, I never believed in familial love.”

Wu Qingcheng hesitated for a moment and asked. “They must have a reason, right?”

A self-mocking smile appeared on Shen Huang’s face as he answered. “Of course. Their reason was simple. It was because they believed a fortune teller that their lives would get better as long as they abandoned me.”

Wu Qingcheng was rendered speechless.

Shen Huang shook his head and said. “I was angry at first after knowing this, but I could understand them. They were mortals who had lived in that small village their whole life. Their vision was limited. As my strength grew, I didn’t blame them anymore. But I wouldn’t recognize them.”

“Perhaps it was because of this I believed everyone in this world would do anything for themselves and themselves alone. From then on, I started becoming more selfish and did everything for my own interest.”

“Well, I actually am not much different from Ren Yuan in this aspect. And if I wasn’t selfish like that, I wouldn’t reach this height today.”

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Shen Huang looked at Wu Qingcheng and said further. “My initial purpose of establishing the Shen Clan was to solely serve me. Whether it was my son, daughter, or others, they existed to work for me.”

“But as time passed and my lifespan was about to reach the end of the rope, I suddenly thought of my parents. Would they regret it a bit for abandoning me?. With that thought in mind, I returned to my hometown even though I knew they were long gone.”

“Naturally, that small town was nowhere to be seen, as well as the temple where I grew up. But just as I was leaving, I discovered an imaginary stone under the temple’s original location. Apparently, my master left it for me.”

A blue stone appeared in Shen Huang’s hand, and he placed it on the table.

Buzz—

A blue light shot out of the stone and transformed into a light curtain above. An image of an old monk was displayed on it. With a glance at him, the hearts of Wu Qingcheng and the others immediately flushed with tranquillity.

“Huang’er, since you discovered this stone, it meant you thought of your parents again.” The old monk said with a kind smile.

Shen Huang looked at his first master with sorrow. He was busy keeping himself alive in those years and failed to return to see his master for the last time.

The old monk said further. “Master will tell you the truth about your parents. In fact, they have been thinking of you all the time since they left you to me. Every month, they would let people send food and clothes to the temple and sometimes come to see you secretly.”

“Whenever you went to the town with me, they would disguise themselves and secretly look at you. The clothes, food, and equipment you had all come from them. They truly loved you with all their hearts, but you were born with a profound talent. They couldn’t give you a better future and decided to send you to my place.”

“Moreover, they were the ones who proposed to hide everything about them from you. Although they didn’t know much about the profound path, they knew both of you would live in a different world in the future. They didn’t want to be your burdens.”

“To respect their wills, Master could only keep everything to myself.”

The old monk clasped his hands together and said. “Master knows that you will become a figure who stands at the top of the world in the future. Master only hopes you can live a good life and create a family on your own.”

As the voice fell, the light curtain gradually blurred and disappeared.

Shen Huang sighed and said. “I knew this too late.”

Wu Qingcheng didn’t know what to say at the moment. She could understand how Shen Huang felt after knowing this. It must be painful. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ

Wu Liwei suddenly nudged Wu Qingcheng with his leg and sent a sound transmission. “I won’t force you to recognize him, but I hope you will one day. He’s quite pitiful.”

As he spoke this, Wu Liwei sighed inwardly. Even a God Emperor could not escape being sentimental. Sometimes, he wondered what the point of having high strength was.

Wu Qingcheng raised her head to look at Shen Huang after a shot of silence and said. “Well, you don’t have to feel sad, Grandpa. You still have family here.”

Shen Huang was stunned and looked at Wu Qingcheng in disbelief. “What did you just call me?”

“Grandpa.” Wu Qingcheng rolled her eyes. “What’s wrong? You don’t want to recognize me?”

Shen Huang’s body trembled slightly, and a bright smile appeared as he said. “Haha. You’re absolutely my granddaughter. How could I not recognize you?”
