Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

After all, for him, that long battle was only a fleeting moment in time.

Surviving a near-death experience and reuniting with family—such heartwarming and touching scenes are happening simultaneously in various parts of the traumatized Tian Shu City.

Although the entire city suffered incalculable damage, thankfully, no one was hurt.

With the help of Jord Rosen, Tiandao Lian limped slowly to You Yang's side.

Lilith followed silently behind, her usually slightly mocking face displaying an unusually complex expression this time.

They had no relatives in the city, so they naturally couldn't join in the post-disaster celebration and joy.

But looking at this heartwarming scene, the three of them couldn't help but reveal a hint of relief in their eyes, which always held a touch of aloofness.

At least, it wasn't all for nothing.

……

Meanwhile, in the distance, a lively scene brimming with the joy of new life unfolded, hidden away in a corner of rubble, unnoticed by anyone.

"It really is true... the younger generation surpasses the older generation..."

As Mo Lao gazed at the lone figure of the young man standing in the center of the ruins, bathed in the remaining lightning, looking like a god, his emotions were extremely complex.

There was admiration, jealousy, and regret, but more than anything, there was a deep sense of relief...

"Ha, it's time for us old folks to retire."

Ling Zhiyong arrived beside them at some point, leaning against a broken stone pillar. However, his appearance did not change at all due to the disappearance of the god; he still looked old and frail, with his life force almost gone and his body on the verge of decay.

"Sigh, the price you paid was too high."

Old Mo sighed heavily. He was not qualified enough. Even if he risked his life, he could not master the forbidden power of the Dark Archmage.

Otherwise, it's just a worthless life; what's the point of giving it up?

But Ling Zhiyong is different from him. Ling Zhiyong is still young and holds a high position in the league. He originally... had a lot of potential.

However, after this incident, his political career will likely come to an end.

Fortunately, the matter was quickly resolved by the boy named You Yang. If that person had been willing to step in, Ling Zhiyong should have been able to save his life and escape unscathed.

Otherwise, there might be another calamity waiting for him.

Ling Zhiyong smiled nonchalantly, a smile that carried a carefree air of having seen through everything.

"Since I dared to make this plan, I was prepared to accept the consequences."

"This is nothing."

"You...you really can't bear to leave your daughter?"

After a moment of silence, Old Mo finally asked the question that was on his mind.

Upon hearing Old Mo's words, Ling Zhiyong's cloudy eyes looked towards the familiar figure busy in the crowd, directing the rescue efforts. A subtle smile appeared on his aged face.

That smile contained reluctance, relief, but even more so, a sense of pride that came with a heavy burden.

“She already has so many reliable friends. I, this old man, am already a burden to her.”

At this moment, although the violent purple lightning around You Yang had long since receded into his body, the terrifying aura that had settled down after the battle of killing gods was still there.

Tendou Ren and Jord Rosen stood behind him, both feeling a slight sense of fear. For a moment, they dared not get too close to him, let alone casually strike up a conversation with him as usual.

You Yang had no interest in talking to them at this moment.

He lowered his head, staring at the card in his hand, "Earthbound God Veracocha Raska." The ferocious card image seemed to still carry the god's resentment, as if it wanted to burst out of the card and tear him apart.

But You Yang no longer felt many complicated emotions.

The so-called gods are now nothing more than his defeated foe.

Now, it's even completely sealed inside this little card, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

But suddenly I feel...so tired...

My head feels dizzy, as if a thousand pounds are pressing on my nerves. I just want to... I just want to lie down and get a good night's sleep.

But before that, there is one last thing to do.

You Yang shook his head vigorously, and the stinging sensation brought him back to his senses.

He walked slowly, his steps heavy and leaden, toward the unconscious girl lying in the center of the altar ruins.

At this moment, the girl's face no longer held any of the haughty or superior expression that belonged to a deity; instead, it was filled with peace and tranquility.

She lay there quietly, her long eyelashes slightly curled, like a small, unsuspecting animal fast asleep in a dream.

That delicate face, between her brows, even carried a touch of endearing cuteness.

But You Yang dared not be careless in the slightest.

He approached slowly, step by step, his wariness undiminished in his dark eyes.

Who knows if that cunning Earthbound God, Veracocha Raska, split a wisp of his consciousness in two and left a part of it in this girl's body.

We'll wait for the moment when he, the "victor," lowers his guard and reveals a weakness, and then... deliver a fatal blow!

As You Yang's footsteps drew closer, the faint killing intent seemed to stimulate the sleeping girl as well.

The girl's tightly closed, long eyelids began to tremble slightly.

It felt like I might wake up at any moment.

You Yang suddenly stopped in his tracks!

In his hand, he had somehow found himself once again grasping the card that still retained the aura of violent thunder—[Rapid Raptor - Winged Rebellious Falcon]!

If the girl does anything slightly wrong, he will immediately and without hesitation activate the power of the card to completely annihilate her!

We will leave absolutely no future troubles!

The hearts of Tiandao Lian and the others, who had just relaxed, were suddenly in their throats again because of this unexpected scene!

Of all the people present, apart from You Yang, no one dared to say they could defeat a god.

If something happens to You Yang at this moment, then everyone present will be doomed!

You Yang stopped three meters away from the girl.

His body tensed slightly, all his senses were heightened to the extreme, and his sharp gaze was locked onto the figure lying in the ruins.

This distance is sufficient for me to observe the other side carefully and to react immediately should the other side make any sudden attack.

Under the tense, almost breathless gazes of Tendou Ren, Jord Rosen, and Lilith outside the arena, the girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her tightly closed eyes finally opened slowly!

In an instant, You Yang's heart leaped into his throat.

Those open eyes held no darkness or evil of the Earthbound God, but rather a pure, unadulterated white.

In the pure white center, there were silver eyes, as cool as moonlight and as dazzling as stars, shining brightly!

The girl blinked her silver eyes blankly, like a newborn baby who knew nothing about the world.

She slowly turned her head, and when her gaze finally landed on You Yang, who was looking wary, her confusion was instantly replaced by an overwhelming joy and dependence from the depths of her soul.

She struggled to sit up and uttered a sentence in a clear, slightly affectionate voice.

"father!"

???

The three, Tian Dao Lian and his companions, who were still a few steps away from You Yang, stared in astonishment at You Yang's stiff back. All the serious thoughts they had about gods and battles were completely shattered by those two words.

dad? !

This girl... is You Yang's daughter?!

But judging from their appearances, they are clearly about the same age!

Could it be...? An absurd thought flashed through Tian Dao Lian's mind: was You Yang some kind of ancient monster who had lived for hundreds of years?

Although such a thing has never been seen in the real world, after all, no matter how magical the power of elves is, it cannot stop the passage of time.

However, the power of spirits can indeed make people live longer and significantly reduce the probability of getting sick under certain circumstances.

However, this kind of thing often happens in those unreliable novels and novels.

You Yang's face, which had been tense due to high vigilance, froze completely at this moment, and his expression was quite varied.

Seeing that there was only pure joy in the other person's silver eyes and no hostility whatsoever, You Yang mustered up his courage and tentatively took another half step forward, slowly reaching out to gently stroke the girl's long, snow-white hair.

The girl showed no aversion whatsoever. Instead, she comfortably squinted her eyes, like a kitten that had found its owner and was being affectionate, and nuzzled You Yang's still-warm palm with her head.

You Yang carefully sensed her body and, after confirming that he could no longer detect any trace of the Earthbound God's residual power, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then withdrew his hand, lightly tapped her smooth forehead, and said irritably:

"My friend, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

He was quite certain that he had never seen this girl before.

The two are probably not even distant relatives, let alone father and daughter.

Chapter 182 The Chen Family's Past, the Beginning of Everything—The Xu Yan Meeting!

After all, he wasn't some philandering emperor from a martial arts novel with daughters all over the world.

You Yang was absolutely certain that he did not know this girl, whether before or after his transmigration.

After receiving a light tap on the head from You Yang, the girl's silver eyes instantly welled up with tears, and her face showed an extremely aggrieved expression.

You Yang was too lazy to care about her anymore. Anyway, this girl was created by Mo Tieshan and Ling Zhiyong, and they should know her origins best. Let's just bring her back the way she was brought.

He had no desire to get involved in these trivial matters.

When the girl saw that You Yang had actually withdrawn his hand and stood up to leave without any hesitation, she immediately became anxious.

She struggled to get up, but for some reason, her slender limbs seemed powerless.

After several attempts, I could only thrash around in vain, unable to stand up at all.

Seeing You Yang walk further and further away, the girl plopped down on the spot, her mouth pursed, and with a "waaaah," she burst into tears.

Hearing the heart-wrenching cries behind them, Tian Daolian and the other two all looked towards You Yang.

By now, they probably realized that the girl who was used as a vessel by the Earthbound God had nothing to do with You Yang.
