Chapter 376: Mom, Dad, I

(PS: Thanks to the Alliance Leader Ye Zhihuihuang for the alliance-level tip. This extra chapter is added specifically for this, and I thank you again for your support.)

Wu Pifu did not wander around. He stayed at home all afternoon as expected, constantly performing minute exercises to control this physical body.

With sufficient food, even though he started by controlling an ordinary person's body, by dinner time, he had reached the threshold of Hua Jin. Although his physical fitness had not improved much and was nowhere near that of a long-term, true martial artist—let alone his original body—

in terms of Qi and Jin, his control over his body had undoubtedly reached the edge of Hua Jin. As time passed, his physical fitness would naturally and slowly improve until it matched the level of Guoshu control for this stage.

Moreover, this was far from the limit he could reach. Given enough time, he could reach the limit of Gang Jin within half a year at most, and at the same time, he could slowly master the Human Immortal Martial Dao.

However, with the strength of Hua Jin, combined with the title effect that was still in effect, it was more than enough in this 21st century without the extraordinary.

When Zhizhi (three-in-one) returned home, she saw the whole family looking solemn, while Wu Pifu was eating to himself with an expressionless face.

Seeing this scene, Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat. She immediately looked at her parents, and sure enough, she saw them looking at her with serious expressions.

Zhizhi immediately said to Wu Pifu, "Wu Pifu, you didn't say everything, did you?"

Wu Pifu frowned. He looked at Zhizhi and asked tentatively, "Doggy?"

"Yes!"

Zhizhi said brazenly, "I'm asking you a question!"

On the other side, Wu Qingxin and An Rongzhi looked at each other. Wu Qingxin laughed, "Oh, oh, oh, so 'doggy' is the kind of game you're playing now?" As he spoke, he went to get his Iron-Crushing Fang No. 2... a cold Tang sword, which was also one of the few real items Wu Pifu had confirmed after practicing Wu Gong all afternoon.

Wu Pifu hurriedly said to Zhizhi, "Speak like a human!"

Zhizhi immediately straightened her expression, sat down next to her parents, and said, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I lied to you. I..."

An Rongzhi was about to faint, while Wu Qingxin gently stroked Iron-Crushing Fang No. 2 and said, "Fine, let's send your brother on his way today."

"What the hell are you doing!"

Wu Pifu couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed Zhizhi and said, "I'm talking about this world! This world!!"

Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then she hurriedly said, "Oh, oh, oh, I thought it was something else."

Wu Qingxin immediately roared, "It is this 'something else'! Explain it clearly to me!!"

Wu Pifu really couldn't watch anymore. He didn't care and ran back to the table to eat and drink in large mouthfuls.

Zhizhi closed her eyes and immediately switched her personality to Beelzebub. Under her parents' expressions of impending collapse, Beelzebub calmed down and began to recount the story she had agreed upon with Wu Pifu.

"... The future?"

Wu Qingxin and An Rongzhi were full of question marks. They looked at Zhizhi in confusion, then at Wu Pifu, who was still eating at the table not far away. Wu Qingxin coughed and said, "Zhizhi, you aren't covering for your brother, are you? Even if... even if a family misfortune has truly occurred, our family can still talk properly using Iron-Crushing Fang No. 2. You shouldn't be lying to us here, right?"

Beelzebub said with a serious face, "It's true, Mom and Dad. We are truly personalities who have returned to this point in time from the future. We..."

An Rongzhi immediately interrupted Beelzebub. She looked at Wu Pifu and said, "You say it, son. Don't try to deceive us!"

Wu Pifu helplessly put down the food in his hand. He walked in front of the two, knelt down, and said solemnly, "Dad, Mom, think about it carefully. My ALS is an incurable disease in this era, a truly incurable disease... In the original timeline, I was frozen in a cryosleep pod on May 11th, and then thawed by the human government in 2877. Only then was my illness cured..."

"Impossible!"

Wu Qingxin immediately shook his head. "We've checked the data and asked many internationally renowned experts. This disease can definitely be cured within a hundred years at most. Even if technology really stagnates, it will definitely be curable within two hundred years. There's no way it would take until 2877 to have a cure."

Wu Pifu said, "Do you remember my question yesterday? Does our family have some money... because it wasn't that there was no cure until 2877, but that my cryosleep pod wasn't opened on time as you wished. I was kept locked in the cryosleep pod, sleeping the whole time, experiencing the Third War, the Biochemical Beast Tide War, the Azure Rise War, the Azure Fall War, and the Fourth World War of the 29th century. Only after that, when humanity left the solar system, was I awakened as a maintenance worker, cured of the terminal illness, and then signed a maintenance worker contract with the then-Human Unified Government..."

Wu Pifu then gave a general overview of his experiences.

This was the result of his discussion with Beelzebub. Since he didn't need to play the role of the Wu Pifu of this time, he might as well make a big scene, and being honest with his parents was of the utmost importance.

Of course, he couldn't say anything about parallel universes or that his parents were fake; Wu Pifu's emotions couldn't accept that. So, it was nine parts truth and one part lie, substituting Wu Pifu's own true experiences and explaining this spacetime as a spacetime backflow.

"... Then, in order to rescue the current Human President Chu Minghao, I had to lead a team into a dangerous area, where I was ambushed by a great enemy of humanity and sent back to this point in time through a spacetime backflow. But in terms of consciousness, I am the Wu Pifu from the future, the one who slept for hundreds of years."

"Now, if I want to return to the future, to fight in the timeline that belongs to me, I must destroy this predetermined history. That is why I asked Mom and Dad who the person who tricked me into taking drugs was. Since I am leaving, I might as well settle these past karmic debts."

After Wu Pifu finished saying all this, he closed his eyes and knelt, not daring to look into his parents' eyes.

Wu Qingxin thought blankly, while An Rongzhi suddenly stepped forward, hugged Wu Pifu, and stroked his hair. "Does it hurt?"

Wu Pifu opened his eyes blankly. "What?" An Rongzhi continued to hug Wu Pifu and asked softly, "It must hurt a lot, right? Every battle with the enemy, every time your skin was torn... you were always the most afraid of pain."

"... Yeah, it hurts a lot."

Wu Pifu lowered his head, and tears rolled down onto his mother's shoulder...

Wu Qingxin took a deep breath and said, "So, you healed from your ALS state like a miracle because of your future extraordinary power? Or is it because you already cured this terminal illness in the future, so the spacetime effect was transferred to the present?"

Wu Pifu lowered his head and said, "I don't know, perhaps both..."

Wu Qingxin asked again, "Your body, your strength, and this extraordinary Guoshu power, were they also obtained from the future?"

Wu Pifu nodded silently.

Wu Qingxin slumped on the sofa. He looked up at the ceiling, thinking about everything that had happened over the past two days.

The miraculous self-healing, that inhuman combat power, that thousand-tempered killing technique, that speed and strength like a superman... After a long time, he suddenly said, "... In the future, you didn't kneel down, did you?"

An Rongzhi suddenly let go of Wu Pifu, moving aside so Wu Pifu could look at Wu Qingxin.

Father and son, one sitting and one kneeling, looked at each other.

!

Wu Pifu looked up and said, "I will never kneel down!"

"... Are you afraid? Facing those inhuman enemies."

"Yes, I am afraid, but I am even more afraid that I won't dare to raise my fist against them."

"... Did you save those who should have been saved?"

"Yes, because they are human."

"Then..."

Wu Qingxin closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. He suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Then, go..."

An Rongzhi suddenly started crying. She stood between the father and son, looking at Wu Pifu while shedding tears. "Can't you stay? You don't have to fight anymore, you don't have to risk your life anymore. This era is very beautiful, and now that we know the future, we can change the future from our own era! Avoid the Third War, avoid the Fourth War, avoid those futures... Son... can't you stay?"

Wu Pifu lowered his head, and it took all his strength to say, "They are still fighting. My enemies are devouring my companions, and they... the people of the future are still fighting. I have received their kindness, I..."

An Rongzhi wanted to say more, but Wu Qingxin suddenly hugged his wife tightly and looked directly at Wu Pifu. "Go, son. Don't retreat, don't kneel, don't beg for the enemy's mercy. Just like the name I gave you, you are both the mayfly that shakes the tree and the man who spills blood five steps away..."

"Stand tall like a man and face all the injustice and violence in this world!"

"Your mother and I are proud of you!"

An Rongzhi cried loudly, lying on Wu Qingxin's shoulder and struggling constantly.

Wu Pifu lowered his head, tears rolling down constantly. He suddenly sat up straight, kowtowed forcefully to Wu Qingxin and An Rongzhi, shattering the floor in the process, then stood up and turned to leave.

Wu Qingxin watched Wu Pifu walk toward the main door and shouted loudly, "The person who tricked you into taking drugs is Liao Di, one of the four young masters of S City, the crown prince of the Shengkai Group!"

Wu Pifu didn't stop his pace at all. He walked quickly to the door as if fleeing, then paused, and without looking back, shouted loudly, "Dad! Mom! In the future... I will definitely resurrect you!!"

"Now, I'm going to save the world!"

A moment later, the villa's main gate swung open, and Wu Pifu drove a sedan away from the villa.

An Rongzhi was still crying, but she stopped struggling. Wu Qingxin was about to comfort his wife when he suddenly saw Zhizhi still sitting in place. He asked in surprise, "Why aren't you following him? By the way, your brother became a presidential candidate in the future, what about you? Did you achieve anything in the future? Daughter."

Zhizhi thought for a moment and said seriously, "Well, I fought side by side with my brother! As an accessory, we went on a killing spree in the terrifying world!"

"As what?"

On the other side, Wu Pifu followed his fragmented memories and drove straight to the bars and nightclubs where he used to hang out with his fox friends.

He felt stifled, so...

He wanted to show off in front of people!

Revenge shouldn't wait overnight!
