Ye Sheng didn’t expect candle demon Qiankun to kneel down. Candle Demon Qiankun was at the Immortal King Realm and had touched the peak of cultivation. Yet, candle demon Qiankun actually knelt down to him.
This was simply unbelievable.
Furthermore, Ye Sheng was powerless against candle demon Qiankun’s request.
“Qiankun, you should know that our return will not change anything. What has already happened will not change because of us, including your daughter,”Ye Sheng said solemnly.
Candle Demon Qiankun’s wife and daughter had both died in this epoch. In the river of time, the mark of life had disappeared, and the river of time in this epoch had turned black. It was completely beyond saving.
Therefore, Ye Sheng had no choice in candle demon Qiankun’s request.
He could kill many chaos clansmen and kill those who were not dead, but he could not save those who were already dead.
Little Girl Qian Yuan still didn’t know what happened, but looking at the conversation between her father and Ye Sheng, it seemed like they were talking about her. Her little face was nervous. She pursed her lips and didn’t say a word. She just looked at Ye Sheng with her big eyes.
Her mother hugged her daughter sadly, begging ye Sheng with her eyes.
Candle demon Qiankun said, “I know that death is inevitable, and things can’t be changed. But you should know that we can’t change things, but we can change things that are unknown.”
“What do you mean?”Ye Sheng frowned.
“I did not die. I have lived for an epoch, and my life mark is good. A life for a life. I will die for my daughter and let her live.”Candle Demon Qiankun said firmly.
Ye Sheng was moved as he watched. He did not expect candle demon Qiankun to be so determined. He had come back with the will to die, but now, he wanted to save his daughter.
“Daddy, I don’t want to.”Qianyuan curled his lips and was about to cry.
“Be Good, baby. You have to remember that Mommy and Daddy Will Always Love You. You are still young. You Shouldn’t die in this disaster. Mommy and Daddy will always be together. You have to leave with this uncle and live well.”Candle Demon Qiankun comforted him.
Qianyuan cried and shouted, “I want Mommy and Daddy.”
“Baby, being alive is Mommy and Daddy’s wish. You have already grown up and you have to be sensible. Do you understand?”Mommy comforted her daughter before kowtowing heavily to Ye Sheng.
“Tomb, please help me. As a father, you should understand my heart, right?”Candle Demon Qiankun also kowtowed.
Ye Sheng took a deep breath. He felt that Candle Demon Qiankun’s fatherly love was unbelievable. What he said was right.
One Life for one life.
Candle Devil Qiankun used his immortal King Life Matrix in exchange for a sliver of life in Qianyuan. He changed Qianyuan’s life matrix, which was destined to die, and let ye Sheng take it away. He replaced Qianyuan’s life matrix and faced this calamity together with his wife.
This was fatherly love. Fatherly Love was like a mountain.
Ye Sheng helped Candle Devil Qiankun and his wife up and then held Qianyuan’s little hand. Looking at the little girl who was crying like a tearful person, he sighed, reached out and hugged the little girl in his arms, he said, “Don’t worry. As long as you change your fate, I will definitely leave with Qian Yuan alive.”
Candle demon Qiankun said gratefully, “Thank you very much. I can only wait for Qian Yuan to repay your kindness in the future. Now, hurry up and leave this place. The chaos warriors that I killed three days ago have already alerted the higher-ups of the chaos race. This place will soon turn into ruins. I will help you stall the chaos race and change Qian Yuan’s fate.”
“Daddy!”Qian Yuan cried very sadly, but for some reason, he was only crying. He did not make a scene and allowed Ye Sheng to hug her.
Perhaps this sensible little girl knew that her parents were risking their lives to protect her. She could not make a scene and cause trouble for her parents.
“Baby, Mommy and Daddy Will Always Love You. In the future, you must walk a stronger path and strengthen your heart.”Candle Demon Qiankun kissed his daughter on the cheek before retreating. He extended his hand and a spatial rift appeared, he did not know where the teleportation was.
Ye Sheng held Qianyuan and took the ancestral dragon baby with him as he bid farewell to Candle Demon Qiankun and his wife. He took one last look before entering the rift.
Candle Demon Qiankun smiled gently as his burly body stood straight. He was now a real man. He held his wife’s hand and waved goodbye to Ye Sheng.
Candle Demon Qiankun’s wife snuggled into her husband’s embrace as she buried her head in tears. She did not dare to look at him as she was afraid that she would not be able to hold herself back.
Qianyuan even wept on Ye Sheng’s shoulders. He was heartbroken.
Ye Sheng sighed. This parting moment was especially sad.
In fact, he had only known candle demon Qiankun for a short while, but they had experienced countless things together. He had also personally witnessed candle demon Qiankun’s transformation from a self-exiled and depraved person to a person who gradually found himself, he had become the hero, hero, and man that he wanted to be the most.
More importantly, he had saved his daughter at this moment.
If he did not do this, his daughter would definitely die, because in the long river of time, his daughter had already died.
With one last glance, Ye Sheng whispered into Qian Yuan’s ear, “Remember your parents’faces and engrave them in your mind.”
Qian Yuan looked at his parents with tears in his eyes and listened to Ye Sheng’s words.
Candle Demon Qiankun and his wife wiped away their sadness and left behind a picture of a smile and love in his daughter’s memory.
Ye Sheng took a step forward and entered the crack. In an instant, the crack shrank and all the images disappeared.
And at the moment before he disappeared, Ye Sheng heard the sound of the chaos race’s army pressing down on the border, heard the wails of countless creatures about to die, and heard the destruction of the planet.
All of this made Ye Sheng furious from the bottom of his heart.
How many families of the Chaos clan had been destroyed?
At this moment, little girl Qian Yuan was so heartbroken that she fainted. Ye Sheng carried her and walked through the dangerous crack, leaving the star area where Candle Devil Universe was located.
..
In another star area, on an empty planet, Ye Sheng stopped.
The planet had been completely destroyed by the war. There were traces of war everywhere. Corpses were everywhere, the ground was dyed red, and the sea water was black.
This was a planet filled with despair. Ye Sheng stopped here temporarily.
Little girl Qian Yuan had fainted. Ye Sheng built a wooden house and settled her down, waiting for her to wake up.
The planet was dark. The Sun and Moon were all shattered. The entire universe turned into darkness. Ye Sheng lit a huge bonfire while he and the baby ancestral dragon sat by the side, speechless.
What Ye Sheng did not expect was that when he came to the Great War of the epoch, the first thing he experienced was not the Great War with the chaos race, but the separation of life and death.
One Life of candle demon Qiankun could save one life. Ye Sheng had the power of the big clock. He could bring a person away. He could save his wife, but in the end, he chose his daughter.
At this moment, Ye Sheng realized that at the moment of the destruction of the epoch, there were not so many battles that were engraved in his heart. There were many life and death departures, the separation of lovers, the breaking of bones and flesh, and the destruction of family after family.
They had done nothing wrong. They had lived a good life and yearned for a better life. They were a group of cute people who were positive and optimistic.
But even so, they are not immune to the natural disaster.
