"Master, this power is too strong. We can't just sit here and wait to die any longer!"

This is the only way forward now.

Amidst the spatial storm, a five-clawed golden dragon, its body covered in blood, roared madly.

A resolute glint appeared in his golden eyes.

"Xiao Jin, no!"

The Heavenly Emperor Luo Tian's voice was choked and hoarse, and he was on the verge of a breakdown.

His purple-gold imperial robes were already tattered, and his imperial crown had been shattered by the spatial storm.

Her long hair danced wildly in the wind, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Who would have thought that the War God Immortal Emperor, who proved his Dao through killing in the Immortal Realm...

How could Luo Tian, ​​who was known as the Great Demon King in the Immortal Realm, have fallen to such a state?

A few drops of bloody tears slid from the golden dragon's enormous eyes as it turned back for one last look.

With reluctance and farewell in mind, the huge dragon tail swayed gently.

Luo Tian was sent hundreds of meters away and floated in the void.

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on that familiar figure.

His body swayed slightly, a sense of powerlessness filling his entire being, a feeling of helplessness and despair.

Two lines of tears gently streamed down her face and fell into the endless abyss.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens, followed by a blinding flash of light that caught Luo Tian's eye.

The golden dragon's massive body exploded and was rapidly annihilated in the intense light.

A nuclear-explosive shockwave swept in all directions.

As the energy generated by the golden dragon's self-destruction ripped a hole in the weak point of the spatial storm.

Luo Tian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and with a grab of his large hand, the remnant soul of the golden dragon was absorbed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

He turned back and took one last look in the direction of the immortal realm.

Without hesitation, they plunged into the torn spatial passage.

……

In Hunan Province, in Yuncheng, dark clouds obscured the sun.

The torrential rain, like a floodgate opened, washed over this second-rate city.

In the distance, thunder and lightning flashed across the sky above the mountains.

Many tall trees were struck by lightning and fell down.

"Boom!"

Another thunderous roar followed, and suddenly a large hole appeared in the dark clouds.

A figure, disheveled and dressed in tattered clothes.

He stumbled out from inside.

He swayed twice and then fell straight down from the sky.

It crashed onto the highest mountain peak...

The dark clouds and torrential rain gradually dissipated.

A crescent moon emerged from the clouds.

"Cough cough!..."

Luo Tian coughed violently a few times.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood, then slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the familiar presence of heaven and earth, he suddenly burst into unrestrained laughter...

"After ten thousand years in the Immortal Realm, I have finally returned!"

Suppressing his excitement, he stretched out his right hand and began to calculate with his fingers.

A moment later, his body trembled, and he revealed a look of wild joy.

"Unexpectedly, ten thousand years have passed in the Immortal Realm, while only four years have passed on Earth!"

It's not too late...

Father, Mother, how are you?

I pulled myself out of my thoughts and carefully sensed the condition inside my body.

He couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

His foundation was damaged, his soul was severely injured, and his cultivation level actually dropped to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Xiao Jin's soul floated within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Its aura was so faint that it would have vanished long ago had it not been for its powerful cultivation.

All that the immortal realm had gained over ten thousand years was reduced to ashes in the spatial storm.

Even the imperial robes he wore were tattered and completely ruined!

Sighing, Luo Tian muttered to himself:

"At this juncture, we can only repair the damage to our soul and slowly restore our cultivation."

However, in this degenerate age on Earth, spiritual energy is almost extinct, and to return to its peak is probably just a pipe dream!

With a soft sigh, Luo Tian sat down on the ground and began to cultivate.

He opened his mouth wide, and all the sparse spiritual energy in the entire Cloud City converged towards him...

The next day...

Yuncheng, Shanmu Town, today is the weekly market day.

Cars come and go on the road, flowing endlessly.

The largest vegetable market in the town center was bustling with people.

A cacophony of hawking cries filled the air, a chaotic mix of sounds.

In a secluded corner, there was a little girl with messy hair.

The little girl had one arm hanging down, and only half of her left leg was exposed.

The shocking scars are too horrifying to look at!

The liveliness of a child was gone from his two big eyes; only a lifeless grayness remained.

His pale lips trembled slightly as he repeated the words he spoke most often each day.

"Please, uncles, aunts, grandpas and grandmas, have mercy on me!"

"Please give me some money to buy food. I haven't eaten for three days. Please!"

The passersby were utterly indifferent, their gazes never lingering for even a moment.

Occasionally, a kind person would toss down some change, sigh, and hurry away.

"How could the adults in the family be so cruel to such a young child?"

Just because someone is disabled, does that mean they can be abandoned? How pitiful!

An elderly woman passing by stopped and spoke up for the little girl.

But an older woman next to him pulled him back.

"Old woman, shut up. Didn't you see those two big men standing over there?"

"This little girl, they brought her!"

The old woman turned around and saw two burly men staring at her with gloomy expressions.

She quickly shut her mouth, threw down a few coins, and hurriedly left!

Human traffickers like these are organized groups.

They would kidnap children and sell them to rich people.

Those that couldn't be sold had their arms and legs broken, and were taken out to beg, used as their money-making tools...

The little girl in front of me is like that; she has been living like this for half a year.

At the mountaintop, Luo Tian slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

After a night of cultivation, the physical injuries have been fully healed.

"Eternal Undying Body" truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier body-refining technique; it is indeed domineering!

The body, which was almost completely destroyed, was restored overnight.

However, the damage to the soul is extremely difficult to heal.

Aside from rare and precious natural treasures, one can only rely on their own body to recover little by little.

Now, his cultivation level has recovered to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

My divine sense can barely cover a radius of five kilometers.

Compared to his peak, when a single thought could cover the entire immortal realm, it was a world of difference.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Tian began to think carefully.

"The damage to the soul cannot be recovered overnight."

"Let's not delay, let's go to our old home first, see our parents, and then we can talk about anything else!"

Luo Tian stood up and surveyed the surroundings.

He used the skill of shrinking the earth to an inch and disappeared on the mountaintop.

……

In Shanmu Town, Luo Tian stood on a pile of ruins, his eyes filled with confusion.

"What happened? Only four years have passed, how did it become like this? Where are Mom and Dad now?"

A sense of unease welled up inside him.

Luo Tian reached out and stopped an elderly man who was passing by.

"Grandpa, when was this place demolished?"

Where have all the people here moved to?

The old man looked Luo Tian up and down, not recognizing him, and sighed.

"Young man, you haven't been back for a long time, have you?"

This place was demolished six months ago. The owner of this house died before it was demolished!

Upon hearing this answer, Luo Tian's mind went blank, and he felt dizzy.

He muttered to himself:

"How could this be? Mom and Dad...are dead? No, this can't be true!"

He grabbed the old man by the collar, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared.

"Tell me quickly, how did they die? Tell me!"

The old man was struggling to breathe because of the tight collar and started coughing.

Luo Tian regained a sliver of his senses and put the old man down.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I startled you!"

I just heard the news of my parents' deaths and I lost control. Can you tell me what happened?

The old man coughed for a while before he caught his breath.

Looking at the young man in front of her, she felt a little afraid and began to recount the story in detail.

"It is said that the elderly couple were in a car accident while they were out buying groceries, and they died on the spot."

Before the old man passed away, he had a granddaughter who was about three years old.

The girl had a hard life; her mother died in childbirth.

My father is said to have gone missing. In my opinion, he has most likely died out there!

Later, my grandparents also had an accident; it was so pitiful!

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian paused slightly, his face filled with disbelief.

"I have another daughter? Could it be Luo Yao...?"

Those painful memories slowly resurfaced in my mind...
