Chapter 539: Grand Finale 19: Calm Mother & True Father

Those sensitive to the new order all realized at this moment the great change of the Heavenly Dao.

A single evil thought, and its hell appears immediately.

Good has good causes, evil has evil results.

It's not that it won't be repaid, the time has not yet come……

One after another, the new orders are continually apprehended by those with affinity.

Although not yet fully profoundly understood, above the Nine Heavens, the pure qi is vast and clear.

It seems as if overnight, all things grow and sprout, and all gloomy qi is swept away clean.

Of course, these are the insights of those whose hearts turn toward goodness.

Those whose evil thoughts proliferate have, at this moment, entered the place where the Nine Heavens and Nine Abyss meet, in the midst of the Heavenly Chasm.

If one can turn to goodness in the future, they will ascend to the Nine Heavens; if they continue to choose evil, they will descend into the Nine Abyss.

Within the Nine Abyss, there are also divisions such as the Hell Path, the Forest Net Palace, the Shady Yin Mountain, and other regions of evil.

Where one's ultimate destination lies is entirely determined by each person's own choice.

Although not yet perfect, the order has basically stabilized, and the Heavenly Dao will naturally make distinctions.

This left Shen Kuo, Zhong Minglan, and others who had activated cheats sighing endlessly, remaining silent for a long time.

On the contrary, True Lord Yuanwu spoke first, saying, 'This is actually somewhat similar to the karmic doctrine previously expounded by the Former Emperor Sovereign—what seed you sow, what fruit you reap, that is indeed correct. One cannot sow evil and yet, merely because of good talent, obtain everything.'

"Yes." Shen Jing felt a myriad of emotions, 'If these orders had existed long ago, during the time of Sheng Long Tian, little A Li wouldn't have had to endure so much suffering.'

"Not necessarily; there will always be those who persist in delusion." Shen Qingtong said, 'Merely with these rules in place, those wicked ones in the future will ultimately reap what they sow.'

"Yes, good and evil have their retribution; it ought to be so." Shen Yuan expressed agreement.

Shen Duo did not speak; he was thinking of his wife at home, who had to help look after the other children, never came here, and he did not know how she was faring.

"A Li will surely come back this time, right?" Shen Qingci was still looking at Xiao Xiao Li, 'Why hasn't he woken up yet?'

"It should be soon." Zhong Minglan and Liu Meng also kept watching, 'Xiao Xiao Li's condition has not worsened; presumably it is also related to A Li's return.'

Everyone in this vibrant new order was eagerly awaiting Shen Qingli and Xiao Xiao Li to wake up, together with Jiu Li, Little Star, and Little White who had entered later.

And amidst the anticipation of all——

Shen Qingli's consciousness body had actually awakened.

But the instant she opened her eyes, she did not see Xiao Xiao Li.

Her heart suddenly leapt up, 'Xiao Xiao Li?'

Clearly, the little one's aura still lingered around her, and even a thread remained constantly entwined with her consciousness body.

This at least indicates that the little one was still here not long ago! But now, he is gone?

"Di Heng?" Shen Qingli shouted anxiously!

Yet in this desolate, empty subconscious, there was no response at all.

Shen Qingli's face changed; she immediately sensed her surroundings carefully, yet also detected no trace of the little one.

"Must not rush, must not rush."

Shen Qingli tried as much as possible to keep herself from panicking!

Even though her spirit and soul were already trembling!

She also forced herself to absolutely remain calm.

Here, it is her river of memory; if she herself cannot calm down to search carefully, no one can help her. Those offspring waiting and needing her help would then be in even greater danger!

"Xiao Xiao Li is not just a mischievous little rascal; I have repeatedly reminded him, he is so smart that, barring accident, he would certainly not run about recklessly—something must have happened." Shen Qingli believed in her little cub, and immediately sat cross-legged again, extending her perception.

Mother and child are heart-connected; she believes! She will surely be able to find the little one.

It is also this calm that finally allowed her to detect, in the source of this desolate memory, a thread of taiji qi.

"Li Li?"

Shen Qingli captured the aura of Jiu Li.

Moreover, the auras of the two little ones had once been intertwined.

"Did Li Li come and take Xiao Xiao Li out?"

Through this thread of insight, Shen Qingli opened her eyes with a slightly eased heart.

But she did not immediately leave this place, even though she was eager to go out and see whether her offspring had already awakened!

But she understood one thing even more clearly——

This place is not only her memory in the subconscious.

but also a place she previously could not enter through her own seeking.

Therefore, she must be cautious!

Otherwise, once she leaves, but the little one has not yet left, she would very likely be unable to re-enter this place to seek the little one.

"Search again carefully."

Shen Qingli forced herself to suppress the urge to rush and see her offspring, re-entering a state akin to sudden enlightenment.

But this time, she was not doing it to create the new order, not for herself and the heavens, chaos, and myriad beings, but solely to find her little cub!

"Xiao Xiao Li?"

"Xiao Xiao Li."

"Di Heng……"

Call after call rose from her heart and mind, washing over and over in Shen Qingli's own subconscious.

She must ensure that every inch of her subconscious is thoroughly searched! Only then can she leave.

Meanwhile, those who had been anticipating her and Xiao Xiao Li, as well as the kin and friends of Jiu Li, began to grow anxious.

Why aren't they awake yet?

Something happened.

Is Xiao Xiao Li in trouble?

One after another, these unsettling guesses swept away all the joy brought by the new order.

If they could choose, they'd rather not have these comforts! They only wish for the people and beasts before them to be safe and sound.

I'll go in and take a look.

Di Hao, who had mostly recovered, simply couldn't sit still!

No, you can't go in again.

Yu Jia spoke up to stop him, and gazed into the void.

Xiao Ying.

Here!

Go find Di Jin and have him come.

Got it!

Jiu Ying received the order and ran out!

He also understood why he had been sent out!

So as soon as he left the Supreme Heavens, he bellowed at the top of his lungs, 'Di Jin!'

A Li is a child groom!

The father of Xiao Xiao Li—

Shout after shout rose higher! It truly could be heard everywhere, from the highest heavens to the deepest abyss, across the nine azure skies.

But even those who heard the sound, like Zhong Minglan, Shen Kuo, and all the people and beasts, didn't laugh at Jiu Ying's exaggerated shouting.

As time passed, Jiu Ying's voice grew louder and louder! Yet that person never responded.

"Something happened." Shen Kuo stood up. "I'll go check."

"No, you guard my daughter-in-law; I'll go check." Di Hao also looked at True Lord Yuanwu and the others, "You all come with me."

"Yes!" Everyone rose to their feet. They all understood the situation was not optimistic; their Heaven‑toppling, Earth‑shaking Young Lord was likely in serious trouble—otherwise, he wouldn't shout like that and get no reply.

"Go quickly and return quickly." Shen Kuo knew that, as a father, Di Hao would certainly have a better chance of finding his own son than he, as a father‑in‑law and adoptive father, could.

Di Hao nodded. "No matter the outcome, I'll have Yuan Wu return first to inform you, and please keep me updated on A Li and Xiao Xiao Li's conditions at any time."

"Of course." Shen Kuo understood.

Only then did Di Hao glance once more at the little fellow before swiftly departing.

This time, no matter what! He must bring that little troublemaker back.

That little troublemaker has grown up fatherless, and that's all his fault.

But Xiao Xiao Li must not be like that; he absolutely cannot let Little Sunsun end up fatherless like that troublemaker.
