Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1274 The Life and Death of a Certain Boy (Part 1)

Not long after, Xiao Yan and Yao Wan, who had returned to the Endless Fire Domain, received a reply from Xiao Se.

“Father, Mother, I discovered a race called the Evil Spirit Clan in the Demon Realm. They are a secondary race created by the Evil Clan at the cost of countless lives. They are the Evil Clan’s trump card to deal with the world. Fortunately, Mother was decisive, which prevented the Evil Clan’s plan from succeeding.”

"But these races, which are a mixture of the blood of the two races, can cultivate not only demonic energy but also spiritual energy. It is likely that in the future world, they, who are caught in the middle, will be ostracized by the original creatures of the world and will be destroyed along with those evil races."

"The surviving elders of the clan told me that they only wanted to live with nothing. The evil deeds of the evil race should not be paid for by their own people, who were already at the mercy of their fate."

"Therefore, I plan to take them with me and their small plane away from the Great Thousand World. From then on, they will be far away from the Great Thousand World and no longer bound by their identities as beings of the Great Thousand World and remnants of the evil race."

"With this, I, the unfilial Xiao Se, respectfully inform my parents."

The short letter vanished like scattered streaks of light, eventually transforming into the silent, wordless gaze between the family in the endless fiery domain.

"It's come to this after all."

Looking up at the dissipating stream of light, Xiao Yan murmured to himself.

"It would be good to go out for a walk, but it's a pity. I happen to have a lot of feelings that I want to talk to him about. Maybe it can help him reach that level sooner."

"For him, how high his level of attainment is actually not important anymore."

Yao Wan thought for a moment, then shook her head. If he was truly focused on cultivation, perhaps he could leave his surname when they had all left their true names on the Sky Ranking.

Thinking of this, Yao Wan couldn't help but look at Medusa and nod slightly to her.

Medusa naturally noticed the gaze from her, but upon hearing her affirmation, Medusa couldn't help but close her eyes and let out a long breath.

"and many more!"

Seeing that her family didn't seem to object to Xiao Se's decision, but instead unanimously chose to tacitly approve, Xiao Xiao, who was confused because she couldn't find Xiao Se when she got home, couldn't help but ask, "When is he coming back? The world is so big, and he's gone..."

"Don't worry, it's not like we're never coming back. It's just that the lifespan of a Saint is long, so this trip will take a little longer."

Nalan Yanran explained.

"Even the longest days have an end..."

Xiao Xiao felt helpless and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. She had finally managed to break free from the constraints of her bloodline, but then this happened. Xiao Se really was... why didn't he tell her about such a big thing beforehand...!
However, to the family in front of her, Xiao Xiao's inner turmoil was crystal clear.

Little Fairy Doctor gently pressed her fingertips, but said, "But if Xiao Se had told you first, would you still be willing to just watch him leave?"

"I'm afraid he hadn't even finished speaking before you grabbed him and wouldn't let him leave."

"With you, his older sister, standing in his way and preventing him from leaving, how could he possibly make up his mind to go?"

Xiao Xiao met Little Fairy Doctor's gentle gaze, and unconsciously lost some of the confidence she had when she spoke earlier.

"Okay, that seems to be the case."

Xiao Xiao's voice was a little weaker, but the fingertips that were slightly clenching the hem of her clothes unconsciously tightened their grip.

"You can't hide your little thoughts."

Xun'er chuckled and teased, "However, although we know this, we won't deliberately stop you. If Xiao Xiao can break through to the Saint Rank one day, and you want to go out and explore, we won't stop you either."

"……real?"

A glimmer of hope immediately ignited in Xiao Xiao's eyes, and she couldn't help but look at her parents in front of her.

Xiao Yan and Yao Wan readily agreed, while Medusa was somewhat troubled, but under her daughter's gaze, she didn't say anything more.

However, the Saint-grade is an insurmountable barrier for countless Heavenly Sovereigns.

Throughout the entire recorded history of this world, no more than a hundred saints have ever been born. This goal might truly require a lifetime of effort.

It's even possible that Xiao Se herself has returned; she might still be stuck in the late stage of the Immortal Realm.

After all, everyone knows perfectly well that the kid has too many things on his mind, and it's inconvenient for him to say everything out loud. Running away from home is just what his mother did when she was young.

It's not like I'm never coming back.

He even managed to get his father's attention while he was at it.

"Besides, speaking of which, this time you've only managed to leave your surnames on the Sky Ranking at most—what about your given names? When will you be able to secure them?"

Xun'er turned to look at the two of them.

"Hmm... it could take several decades, or at most a century. After all, there's no longer any pressure from the evil race, so slowing down a bit isn't a big deal—"

After speaking, Yao Wan couldn't help but stretch and yawn, which surprised her sisters a little, since it was rare to see her so relaxed.

Yao Wan simply smiled at their gazes, without intending to explain anything.

After all, all her worries were put to rest.

Finally, I can enjoy some relaxing days.

……I guess so?

…………

"My lord, according to our observations, we are about to leave the cosmic domain where the Great Thousand World is located."

In a small plane where the Evil Spirit Clan lived and multiplied, Xiao Se sat atop a mountain, gazing at the swirling starry river and the ever-changing Milky Way. Behind him came the slightly trembling voice of an elder of the Evil Spirit Clan, whether from lingering fear or indescribable excitement, it was hard to tell.

"Ok, I know."

Xiao Se nodded, put down the object he was playing with, and turned around: "How are the people of our tribe doing now?"

"Fortunately, the world laws of the minor plane maintain order, otherwise we probably wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of the Milky Way's circulation."

The evil elder gave a bitter smile, his gaze towards Xiao Se somewhat complicated.

Even if what Xiao Se said is true, and they are indeed leaving this sad place far away from the world, a strong sense of fantasy follows, as if it were all a dream.

A race that was about to be destroyed suddenly gained a leader who led them to create a new world. From then on, they no longer had to endure the oppression of the evil race and only needed to strive towards tomorrow.

"It's good that you're alright. After all, I can't solve this problem with pills."

"...As the son of the Emperor and Empress, you are born into nobility. How could you possibly have imagined wandering with us?"

"Forget the identity and meaning given to you by your parents, and do what you want to do. In other words, the elders interpret it as running away from home."

The evil elder was taken aback, but still shook his head: "You jest, sir—"

Seeing that no one believed him, Xiao Se didn't say anything more. After all, revealing his own situation would only confuse people, and he didn't intend to do so.

"What is that in your hand, sir?"

"It's a Bodhi seed. My father and mother gave it to me on their birthdays one year. It is said that in the plane where they grew up, there was an ancient Bodhi tree, also called the Tree of Wisdom and Reincarnation. This Bodhi seed is the seed of that divine tree and the manifestation of its power."

"It is said that my father and mother were reincarnated through the Bodhi tree and finally came together. He left behind a few Bodhi seeds, two of which were given to my sister and me. In this sense, they are like talismans." Xiao Se smiled faintly.

"Reincarnation?"

"Yes, my mother said that life in the lower planes is small and fragile, so it is easier to see one's own or others' fate. Therefore, in many lower planes, there are more or less some powers that are enough to see one's own fate. Even when breaking through to the Supreme Realm, one can occasionally glimpse a self with other possibilities."

"Then wouldn't the sir also be able to...?"

The evil elder spoke subconsciously, but he didn't seem particularly interested in the topic of reincarnation that Xiao Se had brought up.

After all, the environment in which the evil spirits live is full of despair. They are born into suffering, so why should they have any hope for the next life?
"But strictly speaking, I am not a creature of the Dou Qi Continent, and I am already a Saint-level being. No matter how I think about it, I can't see my own destiny through this."

Xiao Se shook his head. He didn't really have a deep understanding of the Dou Qi Continent. To him, it was just the homeland of his parents and elders, which he had visited a few times by chance.

Besides, he had no desire to try it.

"Is that so? But I feel that you still have some interest in these Bodhi seeds, sir. Why don't you give them a try?"

"There's nothing worth trying. We're about to leave the Great Thousand Universe, and it's hard to say how safe it is. Let's find a relatively peaceful cosmic region to stop in first."

The evil elder had no choice. Since Xiao Se had already said so, he naturally couldn't say anything more. So he bowed slightly and left to pass on the message.

After the evil elder left, Xiao Se couldn't help but examine the Bodhi seed in his hand carefully.

"To glimpse fate, huh?"

Although I had seen many extraordinary and bizarre things with my father and mother, they still seemed as distant as legends.

…………

The crisp ringing of the bell startled him from his deep sleep, causing him to jump suddenly.

I haven't slept in ages—oh no, without me watching over things, the evil spirit realm might be in trouble...

Xiao Se suddenly looked up, only to find that what was in front of him was not the mountaintop where he originally was, but a strange room.

The room was neither too big nor too small, filled with tables and chairs. After the bell rang, boys and girls of similar age to myself ran out of the bright room, and their laughter echoed from the corridor outside the window.

But not everyone rushed out. A few people remained in the room. Several girls were chatting and laughing, while two others were preparing something on the platform in front of the room, looking hurried.

There was another person, a slightly thin boy who, from behind, was writing something with his head down.

Although it was the first time I had ever seen these things, for some reason, many concepts such as tables, chairs, rooms, and the world outside the window flooded into my mind at that moment.

"..."

When he caught a glimpse of that person, Xiao Se couldn't help but swallow hard. For some reason, a strong sense of familiarity and warmth welled up in his heart.

Correspondingly, the person's name also appeared in his mind at this moment, as naturally as if he had always known his name.

As if possessed, Xiao Se stood up and couldn't help but walk towards him.

"……What's wrong?"

Before he could even get close, the boy, who was still writing something with his head down, spoke up instead.

"Wait a little longer... it'll be finished soon."

"Write?"

"Well, I don't expect to finish all the weekend homework, but I can at least finish it a little ahead of schedule."

The boy's voice was gentle, yet earnest. This attitude and everything he was showing at that moment created a stark contrast with someone he subconsciously aligned with, which surprised him.

"Isn't tomorrow the weekend? Can't you write it on the weekend?"

Xiao Se's tone was somewhat skeptical. He didn't know if what he said would seem strange, but given his current understanding of the world, it wasn't too odd for him to say such a thing.

"We may not have that much time on weekends, so it's better to make the most of it."

The boy continued writing furiously: "My parents are busy, so I can take my sister to the movies this weekend."

"Movie?"

While Xiao Se was still trying to fill in the gaps in his mind to ensure a smooth conversation, the boy mistakenly thought he was interested in the movie and added, "The new Doraemon movie released this year is in its original language; the Chinese dubbing hasn't been very good in recent years."

"Do you want to go? If so, let's go together."

"Hmm... but I don't think I have any money..."

Xiao Se was inevitably flustered by the boy's rather rambling topics.

"It's okay if you don't have money. I'll just swipe your meal card a couple of times later, and I'll take back whatever amount you used from your meal card."

"Are you okay on your end?"

"Hmm—I saved up a little from my winter break job, so it's not a big problem to spend it occasionally."

"Eh?"

The boy's answer surprised Xiao Se slightly.

"...After all, I can't trouble my parents with everything...I'm not a child anymore."

The boy's answer made Xiao Se fall silent for a moment; they really shared the same idea.

"Hmm? How about it? Want to go together? We should still have time to book tickets later, the theater I booked isn't too crowded."

"Okay."

And so, somewhat confused, Xiao Se accepted the boy's invitation.

However, he was still somewhat uncertain. His intuition and what he saw before him pointed to someone so bizarre that even he himself couldn't be sure.

but……

Perhaps it was just a passing whim, but he eventually agreed.

The next day, I arrived at the bustling shopping mall, guided by my muscle memory. At the appointed time, I waited for the boy, dressed simply in black and white, who was hurrying towards me with a little girl.

Xiao Se was taken aback.

"This is my sister. Come on, call her brother."

The boy in front of her held the little girl's hand and chatted gently with her.

Following his gaze, Xiao Se looked at the exceptionally cute little girl, lively and cheerful, yet slightly shy, still holding the boy's finger.

"Yes, hello brother."
