You should know that too,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loops had started shortly after the end of the First Divine War. Or perhaps near its end. Time was always blurry around that period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cosmos had been reset again and again. Hundreds of years, repeating. Then, one day, it had simply stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had it ended?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had happened back then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo wanted to know. At the same time, he didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, his life was... peaceful. As peaceful as it could be, considering everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, he didn’t want to dig up truths that would only leave him with regret or sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" Elizabeth said eventually. \"You should go now. The nearby cities and markets are far. If you want to come back by evening, you’ll need to leave soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slipped the wooden token into his clothes and stepped outside the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards posted nearby stiffened when they saw him and immediately saluted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other sect members noticed him as well. One by one, they bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo gave a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t say anything to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t sure what he should say, and he didn’t want to draw more attention than he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept walking, scanning the area until he finally spotted Vivi near the western edge of the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sitting at a small food stall, drinking something from a cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she saw him, she spat out everything she had just drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly wiped her mouth, rubbed her eyes, and stared at Neo as if he were an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Da–dad? How are you outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could guess exactly what Vivi had been planning, and why she looked so shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must have been fully convinced that he’d end up locked somewhere by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for her, Neo had hundreds of thousands of years of experience dealing with needy witches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t answer her directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he glanced toward the open area outside the stall and gestured with his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come outside,\" he said simply, before turning and walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi scrambled to clean herself up, paid for the food, and rushed after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad!\" she said as soon as she caught up. \"How are you? Did everything go well with— ouch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She yelped as Neo flicked her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clutched her head and stared at him with watery eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you hit me?\" she complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know exactly why,\" Neo replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi grumbled under her breath but didn’t argue further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short pause, Neo told her about his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to go to a nearby city or market for a breather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suddenly?\" Vivi asked, raising an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Neo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s unlike you. You’ve stayed in the same place for years before without getting bored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"People change.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi stared at him for a second, then sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. I’ll prepare things. Let me get the list of materials from the administration hall first. If we’re going to the market, we might as well buy what the sect needs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That works,\" Neo said, nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi hurried off toward the administration hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo waited, leaning against a nearby pillar. True to her word, she returned in less than half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she wasn’t alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was holding the hand of a small child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo blinked and looked between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Qiuyue. She’s the daughter of my friend. Her mother is on a long mission, so I’m taking care of her for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo looked down at the child. Qiuyue looked to be around three years old. She stared back at him curiously, her grip on Vivi’s hand tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Couldn’t you leave her with someone else? Taking her to the market will just make things harder for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiuyue, of course, didn’t understand a word of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s exactly what you’d say,\" she replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\" Neo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For you, taking care of children just means handing them over to a ’responsible person. Problem solved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo coughed, and turned his head away without replying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was exactly what he had always done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firmaments. The Darkness Firmament. Obitus. Vivi herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back, he realized that he had rarely stayed by their side. He had always trusted someone else to raise them, teach them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m just like Hades,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization dampened his mood more than he expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them left the sect and entered the forest paths leading outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They passed through several hidden barriers and formations along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey was long, and by the time they reached the market, four hours had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, something unexpected had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiuyue was no longer holding Vivi’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she was clinging to Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She laughed happily as he carried her, her small hands gripping his clothes. Vivi walked beside them with an increasingly sour expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This brat. How did she stick to you so fast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo gave her a mocking smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look on his face clearly said,Didn’t you claim you were better at taking care of children? Looks like she prefers me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi clicked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad,\" she said, shoving a small pouch and a list into his hands. \"Take this money and buy these materials.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bent down, picked Qiuyue up from Neo’s arms, and turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll take her around. Don’t wander too far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she stomped off, clearly annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo watched her go, then laughed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Vivi disappeared into the crowd, his smile slowly faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see it clearly now. Vivi had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t the same child he remembered. She was sharper, more guarded, and more independent. Someone who had grown up without him being there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought left an uncomfortable ache in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had laughed off her accusation about him being an irresponsible parent, but the truth was that it hurt because it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-05-30T08:01:17.152Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.950Z",1,"novelbin.me","f486d1c10569e0a118a541bddefcbea02a442487f3b703e89931c9dcd00d90da","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-809","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-807",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
