Chapter 125: All Regrets Will Be Made Whole

More cruel than any separation is a second farewell after a long-awaited reunion.

Your daughter collapses into your arms, crying, leaving you at a loss for words.

You bury the words of parting deep in your heart.

"Father, what happened back then? Mother…"

After a long while, your daughter looks up at you, asking cautiously, a hopeful glint flashing in her eyes.

Even now, she still holds hope in her heart, wishing that Ye Xue is still alive.

Seeing her like this pains you deeply.

"Back then, I, together with your mother, followed Yang Zu to vie for the greatest opportunity in the New World, seeking to ascend to a higher realm."

"We won, and we lost."

"I couldn't protect your mother properly."

With remorse, you recount what happened back then to your daughter Lin Qingfan, including some events that occurred while you held the Heavenly Dao Divine Office.

Your daughter remains stunned for a long time.

After a while, she finally asks, "Will mother… be able to return?"

Your heart aches as you nod heavily, "She will return; we will definitely meet again."

"I believe you."

Your daughter looks up, smiling toward the Horizon, "I hope we can still wait for that day."

You can see that your daughter's condition is off.

Since the battle with the Dragon Clan, daughter Lin Qingfan has been in a state of soul fragmentation, and over these years she has only been able to barely sustain her life.

She clings on with the obsession of 'meeting again.'

You have come to reverse your daughter's fate.

Having set foot in the Wangxian Realm, as the first true sentient being to do so, you ought to do something.

It is not only Lin Chuan in the Dream-Reincarnation who wishes to do this.

The conscious mind of Lin Chuan in the real world feels the same.

He knows that Ye Xue in the present world is still alive.

But he does not know whether, over the endless years, daughter Lin Qingfan could endure until the present day in the Nine-Phase Realm of the Real World.

Based solely on Lin Qingfan's current condition, it is absolutely impossible for her to hold out until a meeting after the endless years.

Lin Chuan feels that he must do something.

He still has one final chance to partake in a major event interaction.

Previously, he went with the flow in all matters.

Even when contending with Mo Zu, whose clash buried the souls of the Demon Clan across the Blood-Painted Star Domain, his conscious mind remained unperturbed.

Perhaps everything is already predetermined.

Perhaps there is still a chance to reverse cause and effect.

Lin Chuan is unwilling to give up this opportunity.

"Father, let's go out for a walk."

Daughter Lin Qingfan smiles, "I want to go to the place where you and mother first met, to see the years you knew each other, the path you walked together."

"Hmm."

You nod, taking your daughter away from the Tianlong Star Domain to the Forbidden Zone where you first met Ye Xue.

You recount the entire story of you and Ye Xue to your daughter.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask, Father."

As you walk, your daughter suddenly turns her head toward you.

You are startled, "What is it?"

Your daughter laughs, "Mother said I have a little lady I've never met, whom Father constantly thinks of; is that so?"

Even with your power in the Wangxian Realm, your face still stiffens at this moment.

Ye Xue, when she was a child, had mentioned those few lines to your daughter, and you didn't expect the daughter to still remember them now.

Your daughter, still smiling, "Can you take me to see the little lady?"

You remain silent.

Your daughter adds, "Father, when I was a child sleeping with mother, she always kept mentioning this matter."

"But you should know mother's temperament; even if she cares deeply, she would never show it, let alone appear weak."

"In truth, she really wants to meet the little lady."

"Since mother is gone, if you take me to see her, it would fulfill mother's wish."

Lin Qingfan's words make Lin Chuan think of another matter.

After the Dream-Reincarnation ends, will Ye Xue in the Nine-Phase Realm of the Real World regain her memories?

As Lin Qingfan said, Ye Xue does not accept defeat.

Given Ye Xue's nature, once she learns of a past-life bond with herself in previous reincarnations, she certainly will not back down,

but will instead come to him with rightful claim.

Ye Xue's cultivation should be the strongest among all current bonds, her three thousand years of practice surpass even Mo Sangyu, who bears the 【Perfect】 attribute.

"Isn't this perfect?"

If Ye Xue comes looking, should she acknowledge or not?

If she acknowledges, then everything must be acknowledged.

If she does not acknowledge, Ye Xue might sever ties with him completely; given her nature, she could certainly do such a thing.

To make matters worse, he didn't even have a chance to stall for time in front of Ye Xue.

Mo Sangyu at least had her dual personality to hold her back.

Yun Zhi Yi was jealous, but her temper was relatively mild.

But Ye Xue wouldn't fall for that at all.

Lin Chuan also wanted to reunite, more urgently than any of his wives, to enter the great harmonious mode of life as soon as possible.

But...

Without a foundation to build on, the great harmony could not possibly be achieved.

None of the wives' personalities would yield to each other.

Perhaps only Lü Ya, that silly girl, would accept all this, and even think she'd gotten a great bargain.

Lin Chuan's head ached.

He had originally wanted to quickly clear the 【Heavenly Demon Chaos】 dream reincarnation, even killing the boss Mo Zu.

He never expected his final boss wasn't Mo Zu, but Ye Xue in the real world.

【"Go... go and take a look."】

【You agreed to your daughter's request.】

【You brought your daughter to the Blood-Painted Star Domain, to the place where Xiao Ya Huan was buried, and after countless years, you unsealed the seal here.】

【Staring at the lonely little mound of earth, Lin Qingfan was lost in thought.】

【You said in a deep voice, "I didn't get to see her one last time. She passed away during the time I was getting to know your mother."】

【"So she became a lonely grave in Father's heart, right?"】

【Lin Qingfan walked up to the little mound of earth.】

【The wooden plaque on the mound was sealed by your divine power and had not yet rotted; the words on it were clearly visible.】

【Lin Qingfan murmured, reciting the last words left by Xiao Ya Huan, which were filled with her regrets.】

【"The world is vast, yet this servant never envied a single bit of it. But you, Young Master, alone have trapped this servant for a lifetime."】

【"To me, you are just like that—a distant horizon with no end."】

【After murmuring for a long time, your daughter looked at you again.】

【"It's clear that the feelings between Little Mother and you weren't exactly equal."】

【She asked, "Father, do you feel regret?"】

【You nodded.】

【How could life be without regrets?】

【Your daughter let out a long sigh. "I've already seen what I needed to see. Originally, I felt wronged on Mother's behalf, but now it seems Little Mother was pitiful too."】

【Your gaze grew more resolute.】

【You said, "All regrets will be made right."】
