Chapter 614 Father and Son Reunite, the Choice

Regarding Empress Nuwa's doubt, Han Jue enlightenedly said, "Mount Buzhou is an item of the Dao Ancestor? Previously, when I wandered through Chaos, I met a mysterious Senior. He said we were destined to meet, so he bestowed Mount Buzhou upon me. I didn't expect… Could he be the Dao Ancestor?"

"The Dao Ancestor is still alive?"

Han Jue paused and exclaimed again.

He had already brought out his strongest acting skills.

Empress Nuwa frowned slightly after hearing this.

"I see. I will discuss this with other mighty figures. In the future, if the Dao Ancestor looks for you again, remember to tell me. The Dao Ancestor is not simple and is not as immensely benevolent as legends say."

Leaving these words behind, Empress Nuwa hurriedly broke the dreamscape.

Han Jue opened his eyes.

"I hope the Dao Ancestor can bluff these fellows," Han Jue thought to himself.

The Dao Ancestor was indeed still alive. Long ago, he had even generated Favorability toward Han Jue. Although the Favorability was very low, it confirmed his existence.

The Dao Ancestor's avatar in Han Jue's friend list remained pitch black, and his true appearance could not be seen, which was enough to show how mysterious the Dao Ancestor was.

That being said, the schemes between the Guixu Divine Realm and the Heavenly Dao could completely be regarded as internal fighting within the Dao Ancestor's sect.

The reason the Dao Ancestor was called the Dao Ancestor was precisely because he was the ancestor of the Dao. After Pangu slaughtered the three thousand Chaotic Fiendcelestials, the Dao Ancestor was the first to Attain the Dao and the first to impart the Dao. All future practitioners could be considered disciples of the Dao Ancestor.

Pangu was the mighty figure who first cleaved open the heavens and earth, while the Dao Ancestor was the mighty figure who first imparted the Dao. Both possessed immeasurable supreme Karma.

Just as Han Jue was pondering, Han Tuo slowly woke up.

When Han Tuo saw Han Jue, he quickly scrambled up.

Han Jue did not activate the yin-yang protecting sun and moon because the battle had ended, but his body was still shielded by the Freedom Divine Light, so Han Tuo could not see his true appearance clearly.

"Who are you?"

Han Tuo asked vigilantly, recalling the person he had seen before losing consciousness.

He had seen his own father.

Was that an illusion?

Han Jue spoke, "Who do you think I am?"

Han Tuo was moved. This voice…

Han Jue used the voice from his past cultivation trials, without any Saint's might.

"Father… How is this possible…"

With a thud, Han Tuo knelt on the ground, a complex expression of surprise and shock appearing on his Face.

Han Jue did not retract the light on his body, just staring at him calmly like this.

After a long while.

Han Tuo finally calmed his emotions. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you a Saint?"

"Mn."

"Then you…"

Han Tuo instinctively wanted to press Han Jue on why he didn't save his mother or his wife.

But right as the words reached his lips, Han Tuo suddenly thought of the Han Family.

Back then, Han Yu had questioned him in this exact same manner.

Recalling his mindset at that time, the raging fury in his heart seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water, leaving his entire person feeling desolate and dejected.

Why not save them?

Simply because the gap in Realm and status was too vast, and their pursuits were different!

Han Tuo had children simply for cultivation trials. From the very beginning, he did not treat his Mortal wife and children as family; he just wanted to pass through a Mortal dream.

In the end, he was stirred by compassion and taught his children cultivation methods, leading to the birth of the Han Family and ultimately welcoming the outcome of clan annihilation.

Was Han Jue also the same when he fathered him back then?

Thinking of this, Han Tuo's heart was filled with confusion.

He suddenly felt that everything had lost meaning.

He dared not harbor resentment toward Han Jue, because he was just like Han Jue.

But he could not accept this kind of situation.

What on earth was he pursuing?

If his existence had value, wouldn't the Han Family also have its own value?

Lifting his eyes to look at Han Jue, Han Tuo thought of Han Yu. His chest felt congested, and all sorts of words turned into a pool of stagnant water.

Han Jue slowly spoke, "It seems you have already figured it out."

Han Tuo clenched his hands inside his sleeves, gritting his teeth.

The joy of being saved and the long-awaited reunion had already been overtaken by his anger toward himself.

"Actually, your mother is still around. I can resurrect her at any time."

Han Jue suddenly said, causing Han Tuo to jerk his head up, a look of surprise and joy appearing on his Face.

"As for your wife, that is your own affair."

Han Jue's next sentence made Han Tuo's mood sink down again.

Han Tuo suddenly felt very ashamed.

He had figured it out.

How could he have relied on opportunities to muddle through to this day? Why would the Underworld Yama be willing to help him?

Why did the Leader of the Jie Sect not kill him?

Why did so many mighty figures he encountered treat him like an old friend the moment they met him?

Turns out they only interacted with him like this out of consideration for Han Jue's Face.

Han Jue could even save his wife from his trials in the Mortal world, whereas he, Han Tuo, had long since forgotten his Mortal wife.

Compared to Han Jue, Han Tuo felt completely inferior in every aspect, feeling deeply ashamed of himself.

At this moment, Han Tuo dared not ask for anything more, and didn't even know what to say.

Gratitude?

Blame?

Neither had any meaning.

Han Jue said, "I originally planned to wait until you achieved the Quasi-Saint Realm before reuniting with you, but unfortunately, I encountered the Dark Holy Monarch trying to capture you."

Han Tuo lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'm sorry."

He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a hand land on his head.

He instinctively looked up and found that Han Jue had already retracted the divine light, patting his head while looking at him.

Although Han Jue's Face was expressionless, this action of his caused Han Tuo's suppressed emotions to instantly erupt.

Han Tuo's eye sockets instantly turned red.

Father…

"I…"

Han Tuo desperately wanted to call him father again, but felt that he was not qualified.

"Don't think so much. What you need to consider now is how to walk your path from here on out!"

Han Jue said calmly.

Han Tuo took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and asked, "What do you think?"

He was no longer a child; it was impossible for him to throw himself into Han Jue's arms and act spoiled, and ties of flesh and blood could not stop the awkwardness of a long-awaited reunion.

"Choose for yourself."

Han Jue's words were bounced right back, forcing Han Tuo to ponder.

He understood that this would determine his future cultivation path.

Han Jue saved him, so he could definitely choose to cultivate under Han Jue's protection.

But for some reason, he suddenly thought of Han Yu.

Back then, he wanted to protect Han Yu, but ended up being rejected by Han Yu, who even said he wanted to surpass him. At that time, he just found it funny.

Han Tuo smiled self-deprecatingly.

Han Jue and him, him and Han Yu—truly, generations looked after each other, and the relationship across the two generations was just like a mirror.

Wait.

Could it be that Han Yu was able to survive because Han Jue saved him?

He had, after all, heard the Yama mention that a mighty figure had saved the Han Family.

Han Tuo widened his eyes, his gaze turning complex once again.

Did his father do this precisely to use Han Yu to educate and admonish him?

Han Tuo completely figured it out.

He raised his head, his gaze firm, and said, "I want to walk my own path. Let me go, and I will carve out a piece of heaven and earth of my own. Once I Attain the Dao, I will return to repay your grace of birth, upbringing, and opportunities."

Han Jue said, "You can also become a Saint under my command, as long as you can endure the endless loneliness."

"No need. As your son, if I want people to look up to me, I must prove myself."

"Very well."

Han Jue did not waste words either. He raised a hand and pointed a finger right between Han Tuo's brows.

Boom!

Han Tuo only felt his mind explode, and his consciousness fell into a trance.

Han Jue guided the Extreme Origin Great Dao into his mind, lecturing on the Dao for him.

He had already undergone Fusion with the Extreme Origin Great Dao now, so he no longer needed to impart it orally, because he was the Extreme Origin Great Dao itself.
