Chapter 1028: Qin Qiyi

As his Clones were destroyed one after another, Qin Changqing drew resources from his inner world to replenish them, continuously re-condensing new Clones.

However, the surrounding pressure grew heavier. Even with many Clones resisting together, a sense of exhaustion gradually began to show.

As time passed, more and more Clones were crushed simultaneously. Qin Changqing's speed of condensation could no longer keep up with the speed of destruction, and a look of horror instantly appeared in his eyes.

After all, he was only in the Ancestral Spirit Realm now. To think he could contend with the Heavenly Dao power of the myriad worlds was simply a joke.

Forget him; even the Nine Great Origin Ancestors wouldn't be able to do it.

"I can't hold on…"

Qin Changqing stared at the golden lotus before him, which had stretched to its limit, and growled, "Child, if you don't come out now, your father is truly finished!"

But urging was useless. Qin Changqing could even faintly hear Lin's painful cries coming from within the golden lotus, making him feel anxious.

What exactly was going on with this child?

Lin was an Origin Ancestor; how could giving birth be so painful for her?

Back then, when his Dao Companions, who were only in the Eternal Realm or even the World Realm, gave birth to God Ancestor Dao Fetuses, it hadn't been this painful!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions rang out around him. Qin Changqing quickly turned his head to look, and his expression changed drastically.

The crushing force of space had already reached him. His surrounding Clones were exploding one by one; he couldn't hold on any longer.

If this pressure acted upon his main body, Qin Changqing would be completely reduced to ashes.

A wave of fear surged in his heart. From the time he began cultivating in this world until now, he had never faced such a crisis.

He never imagined that even with a Heavenly Dao Clone, he would be pushed to such a desperate state.

The thought of leaving first to avoid this calamity involuntarily arose in Qin Changqing's heart.

But when he heard Lin's increasingly high-pitched screams, he hesitated again.

Although he and Lin had only spent over a hundred years together, they had been together almost the entire time. It was impossible to say there were no feelings, not to mention that Lin had fallen into this situation because of him.

Furthermore, the child in Lin's belly was also his, Qin Changqing's child.

For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma between advancing and retreating.

Just then, a loud shout came from Qin Changqing's inner world.

"Father, I've come to help you!"

"Haha, Father, I, Qin Qigang, am here!"

"Father, do not worry. With me, Qin Qishuo, here, no one can harm you. Law Phenomenon!"

Qin Changqing suddenly looked back and saw countless figures surging out from his opened inner world. Accompanied by earth-shaking shouts, they were almost endless. Various Magic Treasures flew in the air, boldly forming an incredibly majestic Holy Light screen that pushed back the surrounding spatial crushing force that was surging in like a tide.

These were the children of the Qin Family, led by Qin Qiming.

After leaving the Origin Realm, they had been staying within Qin Changqing's inner Origin World.

Just now, they noticed earth-shaking changes in Qin Changqing's inner world. Rivers and mountains collapsed, the sun, moon, and stars reversed, and even the originally abundant Spiritual Qi began to flow out in large quantities. They immediately realized something must have happened to Qin Changqing, so they followed the source of the draining Qi to the world entrance.

"Children…"

While a look of touched emotion appeared on Qin Changqing's face, his heart also trembled. He immediately reached out and shouted sternly, "All of you, go back!"

Although the children's cultivation wasn't low and they each possessed powerful Divine Abilities and Spells, they were still powerless against the Heavenly Dao power of the myriad worlds. Coming out was just throwing their lives away for nothing.

He would rather be harmed himself than have his children go to their deaths!

"Father, step back. Today, it's our turn to protect you!"

Qin Qishuo gave a long laugh, looking high-spirited. His body suddenly shot up, growing wildly with the wind. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant that reached the heavens and touched the earth, tearing through the clouds. His whole body pulsed with brilliant divine light as he actually tried to tear at the surrounding space with his bare hands.

"Don't!"

Qin Changqing was horrified, his eyes nearly splitting from the strain.

However, it was already too late.

Before Qin Qishuo's body could reach its limit, and before his hand was even halfway extended, he was ground into fragments by the hurricane-like spatial distortions.

Not only that, but this terrifying strangling force actually seeped into Qin Qishuo's body through his limbs and bones.

Everyone clearly saw Qin Qishuo's limbs begin to turn into dust, and his mountain-like terrifying body also began to collapse at a horrifying speed.

"Qishuo!!!"

Not only Qin Changqing, but the other Qin Family children also let out shocked and angry roars upon seeing this. They all flew forward in succession, using various Magic Treasures and Spells in an attempt to stop it.

However, it was all in vain.

The Heavenly Dao power of the myriad worlds was on a completely different level than the Heavenly Dao power of before.

The appearance of these children seemed to have completely enraged this world. Space acted like a living Dragon, twisting and strangling frantically, directly pulling every Qin Family child who rushed forward into its grasp.

"No—"

Qin Changqing's eyes turned completely bloodshot as he watched his children being twisted and strangled into powder by the terrifying spatial Dragon, one by one. Not even their True Spirits remained.

This power left him at a loss. Anger, fear, horror, and pain instantly filled Qin Changqing's entire body and mind, and his brain went completely blank.

Dead… they were all dead… He never imagined that more than half of the children he had worked so hard to nurture and raise for so many years would die because of a single mistake of his.

Countless images flashed through Qin Changqing's mind in an instant, the voices and faces of each child flowing past his eyes.

"Father, the bunny is so cute. Why do we have to eat its head? Can we just eat the legs?"

"Father, when I become a great Cultivator of the Golden Core Stage, I'll come and protect you. Then you won't have to be afraid!"

"Master, I knew you would appear whenever there's danger. Hehe, when I get stronger, I'll protect you instead, okay?"

"Father…"

The voices of various children echoed in Qin Changqing's ears, making his expression become incredibly dazed. He seemed to see Qin Qiming and Qin Qixian again, back when they used to run around him calling him 'Father'. Back then, they were carefree, full of innocence and liveliness.

"Did I harm them by giving them such good talent…"

Qin Changqing's lips trembled involuntarily, and two lines of clear tears flowed down from his eyes. He fell into a deep state of self-doubt and guilt.

Suddenly, an illusory figure stepped out from within Qin Changqing's body. The phantom flickered as it looked at Qin Changqing and said calmly, "Changqing, without destruction there can be no construction; out of destruction comes creation. This is your tribulation, but also your Opportunity. Children can be born again. With the ability I gave you, you can have as many offspring as you want. Why dwell on such a small matter? If you die, you will have nothing!"

Qin Changqing's pupils slowly focused as he glared at the figure opposite him. His expression suddenly became incredibly ferocious: "It's you! You knew this would happen all along, didn't you?"

The Heavenly Dao said calmly, "I didn't know, and I couldn't have known. The birth of this child was entirely your own will. Perhaps his talent is too powerful and triggered a backlash from the myriad worlds, which is why this situation occurred. Pull yourself together. As long as this child is born, all the crises you face will cease to exist!"

Qin Changqing's expression twitched as he suddenly looked at the golden lotus, which had now fully bloomed and was beginning to radiate divine light. Lin's painful cries inside seemed to be gradually weakening.

"Just for this one child, Qiming, Qixian, Qigang… they're all dead. They're all dead! Is it worth it?" Qin Changqing roared in anger.

Qin Changqing roared in anger.

The Heavenly Dao said, "Whether it's worth it is for you to ask yourself. You protected them for so many years, and now it's their turn to protect you. This was also their promise to you back then, wasn't it?"

"Bullshit!"

Qin Changqing was furious. "I am the father! Do I need my own children to protect me?"

The Heavenly Dao reached out and tapped Qin Changqing's chest, sighing, "Regardless of whether you need it or not, it has already happened. You must accept reality. For you, this might not be a bad thing…"

How could this not be a bad thing!

Qin Changqing felt an urge to kill the old thing in front of him. He had watched these children grow up; his feelings for them were extraordinary, and he had poured far too much effort into them.

Seeing them die one by one before his eyes now was truly like a knife twisting in his heart. He only hated his own incompetence.

"This child hasn't even been born and he's already killed his brothers and sisters. He's a jinx… he shouldn't have been born…"

Qin Changqing murmured to himself, seemingly having fallen into a state of obsession.

The Heavenly Dao sighed, its gaze falling on the spatial Dragon that was twisting frantically and had already shifted its target to pounce toward them.

"In all these years, there is actually one greatest ability I have never told you about, for fear that you would fall into the Demonic Path and walk a road of no return. Looking at it now, I suppose I was overthinking. However, as I just said, without destruction there is no construction; out of destruction comes creation. Qin Changqing, your Opportunity has arrived…"

The figure of the Heavenly Dao merged back into Qin Changqing's body.

The next moment, prompts frantically flooded Qin Changqing's mind.

[Your offspring Qin Qiming has died. You have obtained all his cultivation, Dao methods, as well as his own Aptitude and life level.]

[Your offspring Qin Qixian has died. You have obtained all his cultivation, Dao methods, as well as his own Aptitude and life level.]

[Your offspring…]

Boom! Boom! Boom!

While Qin Changqing was in a daze, surges of majestic world power poured in from the unknown, and his cultivation level rose instantly at a terrifying speed.

Perhaps because these returned powers were too terrifyingly massive, they triggered a chain reaction. The Heavenly Revelation World, which was already turned upside down, saw its clouds surge again. With Qin Changqing as the center, the entire world began to converge toward him, being frantically devoured by him.

Not just the Heavenly Revelation World, but also other surrounding worlds, and even the surrounding space, time, and various Heavenly Daos and Great Daos were all pouring in frantically.

If anyone were beside Qin Changqing at this moment, they would surely be dumbfounded with shock.

Qin Changqing's body remained motionless. His eyes, and even the third eye on his forehead, were filled with a dense white light, eerie and profound.

His cultivation was also sublimating at a terrifying speed.

Sixth level of the Ancestral Spirit Realm… eighth level of the Ancestral Spirit Realm… ninth level of the Ancestral Spirit Realm… Origin Ancestor Realm!

Second level of the Origin Ancestor Realm… fifth level of the Origin Ancestor Realm… eighth level of the Origin Ancestor Realm… Peak of the ninth level of the Origin Ancestor Realm!

In just a moment, Qin Changqing's cultivation reached the highest level of this world.

However, it was not over; the surrounding world power continued to pour in frantically, as if endless.

Sensing Qin Changqing's terrifying change, the spatial dragon that was originally pouncing on the golden lotus seemed stunned as well. It instantly turned its head and frantically crushed toward Qin Changqing, leaving nothing but vanity in its wake.

After such a long transformation, the power of this dragon was more than a hundred times stronger than when it had strangled the disciples of the Qin Family earlier.

If it were the previous Qin Changqing, or even the Nine Great Origin Ancestors of the past, they would likely have died on the spot!

However, Qin Changqing seemed not to notice at all, still standing quietly in place, allowing the endless Spiritual Qi to pour in and the surrounding space to rage and strangle him. His feet remained as immovable as if they had taken root.

Rumble!

The terrifying spatial dragon slammed violently into Qin Changqing's body.

Something horrifying happened. Under the strangulation of such a terrifying spatial dragon, Qin Changqing did not suffer a single scratch, nor did he even move his steps. The white light in his three eyes did not fade, as if he had merely been brushed by a breeze.

Instead, the spatial dragon collapsed directly upon impact, and the spatial power resulting from that collapse was actually attracted and sucked into Qin Changqing's body.

As if frightened, a terrified low exclamation faintly appeared from the surrounding heaven and earth.

By this time, the Heavenly Revelation World had long been destroyed, and only vanity remained around Qin Changqing.

Between heaven and earth, various colors of light suddenly began to float, gradually condensing into a human face that displayed a look of shock.

Suddenly, the human face opened its giant mouth and blew a breath toward where Qin Changqing was.

In an instant, Qin Changqing was enveloped by a nine-colored brilliance, and a wide crack appeared behind him, seemingly trying to drag him into it.

Meanwhile, all the world power that Qin Changqing had been absorbing was completely cut off.

Just as Qin Changqing was about to be dragged into the crack, the golden lotus not far in front of him finally bloomed completely.

In the next moment, a figure stepped out from it—it was one of the Nine Great Origin Ancestors, Lin!

In her hands, she held a faint ball of light.

Seeing this ball of light, the human face seemed to be startled, and a ferocious expression appeared on it. Shadows of light flickered as countless worlds swept in from all directions, directly kneaded by the shadows into a giant sword that hacked down heavily toward Lin's direction.

“Brothers and sisters… all dead… died for me…”

A tender, hazy voice suddenly came from the ball of light.

He seemed to pause for a moment, then suddenly broke free from Lin's embrace and charged straight toward the giant sword.

“Don't—”

Lin was shocked and wanted to chase after him, but she couldn't possibly catch up.

The ball of light vanished in a flash and appeared under the giant sword in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

An astonishing brilliance spread in all directions. The ball of light shattered and was annihilated into dust.

“No!”

Lin let out a heart-wrenching cry, unable to accept that her newborn child had died right before her eyes.

She suddenly looked back, only to see that Qin Changqing had already been dragged into the crack, which was about to close completely.

Painful confusion appeared in her eyes. She could never have imagined that upon giving birth, she would immediately face the loss of both her husband and child.

However, at this moment, a voice sounded in Qin Changqing's mind once again.

【Your offspring 'Wu' has died. You have obtained all his cultivation, Dao methods, as well as his own Aptitude and life level.】

The next moment, Qin Changqing's three eyes, which had been filled with white light, suddenly regained their clarity.

His cultivation, which had already reached the Peak and completely stalled, actually began to loosen again, then suddenly erupted.

Whoosh!

At that exact moment, the crack closed completely, and Qin Changqing's figure disappeared.

A look of relief appeared on the human face in the void, and its gaze slowly fell upon Lin, appearing somewhat profound.

A beam of light suddenly shot out from its eyes, and in the next moment, another figure abruptly appeared in front of Lin.

“Chi!”

The tears at the corners of Lin's eyes had not yet faded. Seeing the person in front of her, she was instantly horrified.

The person who arrived was Chi.

He was also a bit dazed. Wasn't he devouring some world?

How did he suddenly shift through the stars and arrive here?

But that wasn't important. What mattered was that he saw his target—the last of the Nine Great Origin Ancestors was right before him.

Chi immediately revealed a ferocious smile and grinned. “Lin, I've searched for you for so many years and finally found you. Come into my mouth obediently; don't make me do it myself!”

As he spoke, he opened his crimson mouth and pointed with his finger.

Lin's expression changed drastically. She instinctively wanted to flee but knew she couldn't, her heart filled with bitterness.

Seeing Lin not moving for a long time, Chi grew impatient. Infinite suction suddenly erupted from his mouth, and Lin's body was uncontrollably sucked toward it.

Just as Lin was about to be swallowed by Chi, a faint voice suddenly came from the side: “You dare to touch my woman?”

Chi was stunned and couldn't help but turn to look.

In the void, the space suddenly split like a piece of paper being cut. A crack appeared out of thin air, and a handsome man in a white robe slowly floated out from it.

“Who are you?”

Chi was full of vigilance, then licked his lips. “Are you here to be an extra meal for me?”

The newcomer was none other than Qin Changqing. At this moment, although he was truly standing there, he seemed like a part of the void, impossible to grasp.

Qin Changqing did not answer, merely casting a faint glance at Chi.

And so, Chi disappeared.

He disappeared just like that, leaving nothing behind.

“Don't be afraid, I am here!”

Qin Changqing appeared by Lin's side and gently embraced her body.

Lin's eyes suddenly shone with an amazing light: “You… you had a Breakthrough?”

The Breakthrough she spoke of was not to the Origin Ancestor Realm, but breaking through the shackles of this world to reach a brand new, unknown level.

Being able to wipe out Chi with a wave of his hand already explained everything.

Qin Changqing nodded slightly, then his gaze fell on the distant human face. “If not for you, my children would not have died.”

The human face distorted and then let out a low growl, seemingly communicating with Qin Changqing.

Qin Changqing shook his head slightly. “There is no need to say anything more. I say you are guilty, so you are guilty. This world is already decayed and has no reason to exist. I will help you by gestating it anew!”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gave a gentle wave.

The human face immediately let out a terrified scream, but it was destroyed in an instant, disappearing along with the surrounding world.

At the same time, a speck of Chaos, like rotating starlight, was slowly nurtured in Qin Changqing's hand and began to grow and expand at a terrifying speed.

—

Many years later.

In a prosperous town, a valiant young man entered through the city gates on a Flying Sword, causing a stir of exclamations from the people around.

Stepping on his Flying Sword, the youth was in high spirits. He turned into a streak of light and soon arrived before a massive courtyard.

When the servant at the door saw him, he immediately cried out, “The eldest young Master is back! Quick, go inform the Master!”

The youth laughed heartily and strode through the door.

On the plaque above his head, three large words were written: Qingyun Manor.

“The eldest young Master is back!”

“Haha, the eldest young Master's cultivation has improved again!”

“Eldest young Master, the Master wants you to go over!”

The youth smiled and greeted everyone in the manor. He passed through the front courtyard corridor and quickly reached the backyard.

Pushing open the study door, he saw a man sitting at a desk, wielding a brush and ink.

“Father!”

The youth smiled.

The man looked up, revealing a handsome and elegant face with eyes full of divine light. Who else could it be but Qin Changqing?

Only now, he had grown a beard, adding a touch of maturity to his appearance, and his temperament was even more magnificent than before.

“Qiming, you were out for quite a while this time. Did you gain anything?”

Qin Changqing set down his brush and smiled.

This youth was indeed Qin Qiming.

Back then, Qin Changqing had wiped out the myriad worlds with a wave of his hand and nurtured a complete new heaven and earth.

His Divine Ability had reached an inconceivable level; he directly ignored Karma and forcibly retrieved the True Spirits of all his children who had died from the vast river of time.

But this time, he was in no hurry to have all the children born at once. Instead, he settled down in this world and allowed the children to be born slowly, following the old rhythm.

“Father, I found an Immortal's residence this time and got quite a few treasures from it. I even brought gifts for you and Mother…”

Qin Qiming chuckled and was about to take out the prepared gifts.

Suddenly, someone ran in hurriedly from outside, covered in sweat. “Master, Madam Lin has given birth! Please go over and take a look!”

Qin Changqing's expression flickered, and he nodded. In the next moment, he had disappeared from the spot.

Inside the delivery room.

The beautiful woman lying on the bed was none other than Lin, one of the Nine Great Origin Ancestors from back then.

At this moment, she looked at the child beside her with the gentle smile of a loving mother.

Qin Changqing appeared out of thin air, his gaze also falling on the child, the expression in his eyes somewhat complex.

“Changqing, the child is born. Is it him?”

Lin sat up holding the child and asked somewhat urgently.

Qin Changqing took the child into his arms, his thoughts racing, and he slowly nodded. “This child was just born, and his True Spirit has not yet fully condensed. It took me a long time to find him. Yes, it is him.”

Lin immediately wept with joy, tears streaming down her cheeks. She looked up at Qin Changqing and said expectantly, “Give him a name. Back then, he didn't even have time to see you… that matter really wasn't his fault!”

Qin Changqing's face twitched violently, then he took a deep breath, nodded, and gazed at the sleeping child, whispering, “I shall call you… Qin Qiyi!”

(The End)
