Sun Moon Federation era
Douluo Continent, Shrek City, Shrek Academy.
As the number one city on the Douluo Continent, the number one academy on the Douluo Continent, this place was once yearned for by countless people.
But now, everything has vanished like smoke.
The most powerful weapon ever created by Humans, the God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shell, was stolen by the Holy Spirit Cult in conjunction with the Spirit Pagoda's Qiangu Family and launched at Shrek Academy.
In order to leave the academy with a final hope.
The current number one expert on Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy, the contemporary Sea God Pavilion Master Yun Ming, burned his self-created God Position, all of his cultivation and Life as a level 99 Quasi-God, reaching the pinnacle of godhood, and ultimately not only blocked the God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shell, but also annihilated a large number of Holy Spirit Cult attackers, causing the Holy Spirit Cult to suffer heavy losses.
In the end, this earth-shattering event concluded with the Holy Spirit Cult losing eight Titled Douluo; the self-created God Position peerless genius, Yun Ming, dying; and the once extremely powerful Shrek Academy, whose inheritance had spanned more than 20,000 years on the Douluo Continent, being extinguished.
It was just that, unknown to everyone, Yun Ming's Soul was taken by the space-time rift created by the collision of the God-Slaying and God's power to an unknown place.
Spirit Hall era
Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, outside the capital Heaven Dou City
A small mountain village surrounded by mountains, this is an outpost of the Clear Sky Sect. Usually, at this time, the village would be filled with smoke from cooking fires and children playing. But now, the smoke is gone, and the signals of war are everywhere.
An old man wearing a black robe, with a thin figure and blood-stained clothes, was anxiously carrying a pregnant woman into the mountain village.
The woman being carried was about eighteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, resembling the old man by three parts, but at this time her face was full of pain. If you looked closely, you could still find traces of blood that had not been completely wiped clean from the corner of the woman's mouth.
The old man's name is Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan, one of the four subordinate clans with a single attribute of the Clear Sky Sect, a Douluo Continent-renowned expert, and a master of medicine. And that beautiful woman is Yang Wudi's only daughter, Yang Ying.
So why would Yang Wudi be covered in blood, carrying his pregnant daughter, and appear so embarrassedly in this dilapidated mountain village? The matter has to start with a shocking event that happened in the Spirit Master's world on the Douluo Continent some time ago.
Not long ago, the Sect Master heir of the Heaven Under Heaven Sect 'Clear Sky Sect', Tang Hao, killed the contemporary Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji of the Douluo Continent's number one Spirit Master force, Spirit Hall, for some unknown reason, causing Spirit Hall to be furious and demand that the Clear Sky Sect hand over Tang Hao, otherwise they would send troops to attack the Clear Sky Sect.
The Clear Sky Sect had good strength, and its disciples were arrogant and domineering, so naturally it would not hand over people easily. The two sides fought a chaotic battle, but compared to Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect's strength was far inferior. After one battle, the Clear Sky Sect suffered heavy losses. In order to continue the Sect, the Clear Sky Sect announced to the outside World that it would expel the Sect Master heir Tang Hao from the Clear Sky Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect sealed off the Sect and retreated from the Spirit Master's world, and its disciples no longer traveled the Douluo Continent.
Originally, things would have been almost over by this point, but who knew that after the Clear Sky Sect's own disciples safely returned to the Sect located on the high mountain, they cut off the mountain passage of the subordinate Sects, directly abandoning the four single-attribute clans that had served the Sect for many years, causing the four clans, which had just forged a great feud with Spirit Hall for fighting for the Clear Sky Sect, to be directly exposed to Spirit Hall's blades and become abandoned children for the Clear Sky Sect to appease Spirit Hall's anger.
The events that followed were also clear. The Clear Sky Sect transferred its hatred for itself to the four subordinate clans, causing the four clans, whose strength had been damaged due to the previous war, to be sniped by Spirit Hall. After a series of fierce battles, the four clans were divided into smaller groups and fled separately.
Among them, the Breaking Clan suffered nearly half of its losses, and Yang Wudi's family also suffered heavy casualties. His only son died tragically in this battle, his younger brother Yang Wushuang was also captured by Spirit Hall, and even Yang Wudi's son-in-law, Yang Ying's husband, Yun Huang, died on the battlefield in order to resist the attack of the Spirit Hall expert that was directed at Yang Ying earlier. If it weren't for the fact that Yang Wudi and Yang Ying had gone against the grain and used a trick of hiding in plain sight, the outcome for the two of them would still be unknown. However, although most of the power of the Spirit Hall expert's attack on Yang Ying earlier was blocked, the dissipated power still injured Yang Ying, who did not have a high cultivation level, and triggered a premature birth!!!
"Ah Ying, hold on, hold on!"
The old man found a slightly cleaner courtyard, broke in directly, and then, inside the small courtyard, came a woman's painful groan, the sound was heartbreaking and hoarse.
"Ah ~"
That kind of pain was heart-wrenching, making the old man who was helping with the delivery extremely distressed.
I don't know how long it took, accompanied by a woman's heartbreaking cry, a baby's cry was heard.
"Brother Yun!!!"
"Wah! Wah!!"
The old man felt a trace of joy in his heart as he looked at his Grandfather, and even the sadness he had encountered today was dispelled a little! But before Yang Wudi could be happy, he felt his daughter's Life aura rapidly declining. Yang Wudi's expression changed drastically when he saw this, and he put down his Grandfather and hurriedly used his own spirit power to help his daughter maintain her vitality.
While inputting spirit power, he also took out all kinds of rare and exotic pills that were rare to see outside. In the past, he would have been distressed to use even a little bit of many things, but now, in order to save his daughter's Life, he would use as much as he could. Yang Wudi, this master of medicine, couldn't care about anything now. While using the medicine, he was also anxiously speaking, trying to save his daughter.
"Ah Ying, don't sleep! Father will heal you, Ah Ying!"
"Ah Ying! Look, look, look at Father! Father begs you, don't sleep!"
Seeing that the aura of Life was still slowly weakening, and his daughter might leave him completely at any moment, Yang Wudi suddenly thought of his newborn Grandfather. Like a drowning man grabbing at the last straw, he hurriedly shouted.
"A'Ying! You just became a mother, and the child still needs you to accompany them as they grow up. You absolutely can't fall asleep! Even for the sake of the child, you absolutely can't fall asleep!"
Perhaps Yang Wudi's medicine had finally taken effect, or perhaps the great maternal instinct of a mother was awakened by the child and she was forcibly holding on. Yang Ying finally recovered some consciousness from her daze. She was only heard using her intermittent, almost inaudible voice to slowly say.
"Father, where is the child! "
Her voice was very soft. Even Yang Wudi, a Peak Spirit Saint whose five senses far surpassed ordinary people, heard it like a whisper. However, this whisper was still like heavenly music in Yang Wudi's heart, making him overjoyed. He hurriedly brought his Grandfather to his daughter's side, while his hands didn't stop moving as he hurriedly treated her.
However, Yang Ying's vitality was too severely damaged, and it was already beyond recovery. The current treatment could only delay her death!
Yang Wudi knew Yang Ying's current situation, but he was not willing to accept it. He had already lost three family members today, and he didn't want to lose his precious daughter again. Yang Wudi's voice was slightly choked as he said.
"The child is a boy, and he looks especially like you, like a carved jade doll. You have to get better, you still have to accompany him as he grows up!"
Listening to her Father's voice, Yang Ying turned her head and looked at her son beside her. A happy smile appeared on her pale and pretty face, and her voice, as thin as a mosquito's, softly said.
"A son? That's good too!"
Perhaps sensing that her Life was coming to an end, Yang Ying whispered to her son.
"Son, Mommy may not be able to accompany you as you grow up."
"Don't be picky about food... Eat more and grow up quickly."
"Also, remember to make friends. You don't need many friends, just a few truly trustworthy partners are enough."
"Also, although Mommy is very bad at it... you must study pharmacy and cultivation well. But everyone has strengths and weaknesses, so don't be too discouraged even if you encounter difficulties. Respect your Teacher and Seniors while studying."
"And don't just focus on studying and cultivation, get enough rest."
"Although you will be interested in women in the future, remember not to get entangled with strange women, and find a good woman like Mommy."
"Next, you will encounter many painful and sad things, so firmly maintain your self."
As her emotions surged, Yang Ying's tears could no longer be stopped, and her voice choked.
"Also…"
"Also…"
"Also…"
"Also…"
"Also…"
"There are really so many things I want to tell you."
"I also want to always... be by your side."
"I love you."
"Lastly, there's also Father. Although Father didn't see your birth, Father loves you as much as Mommy does!"
Yang Wudi, who was on the side, heard his daughter's message to her Grandfather, and tears of sadness flowed from the corners of his eyes, because he felt it, he felt that his daughter was about to give out.
After saying a long passage to her son, Yang Ying, who was obviously running out of strength, used her last bit of strength to say to her Father.
"I'm sorry, Father. In the end, I still have to make you sad for this spoiled daughter of yours. The child... I'll have to ask you to take care of him."
"Finally... give the child a suitable new name, and let him become a man..."
After saying this last sentence, Yang Ying left this World with regret and reluctance.
"A'Ying!!!" Yang Wudi cried out in grief, tears streaming down his face.
"Wah~ Wah~"
At this moment, the child beside Yang Ying might have sensed his mother's passing, and suddenly began to cry sadly. The cries fell to the ground like broken pearls, which was really heartbreaking for those who heard it and tearful for those who listened.
Perhaps hearing the voices of the Grandfather and Grandfather, two Spirit Kings with five spirit rings shining on their bodies broke into the small courtyard and surrounded Yang Wudi.
After Yang Wudi sensed the arrival of outsiders, the sadness of his daughter's death instantly turned into monstrous Killing Intent. He wiped away his tears, picked up his Grandfather, and a dark spear appeared in his hand. Seven spirit rings emerged one by one, and with a loud roar, he directly charged out.
"Kill!!!"
The two Spirit Hall Spirit Kings were greatly horrified to see that the person who appeared in front of them was actually Yang Wudi, but now they would die if they didn't fight, so they could only fight to the death with the belief of destroying everything.
Before long, the dust settled. The door of the small courtyard opened, and Yang Wudi, covered in baleful aura and with blood-red eyes like a Netherworld ghost, walked out of the courtyard holding the child. Looking into the courtyard from outside the courtyard door, the two Spirit Hall Spirit Kings were now lying in a pool of blood, with no breath left.
After venting, Yang Wudi then remembered his Grandfather in his arms. The Killing Intent on his body dissipated, and he began to check the child's condition. Fortunately, the child was not injured, he was just asleep, probably because he had been crying for too long and was tired.
Yang Wudi looked at the sky, which was as gloomy as splashed ink, like the Netherworld, and then looked at his Grandfather in his arms. A hoarse voice sounded.
"Reaching up to support the clouds, reaching down to explore the Netherworld!"
"From today onwards, you will be called…"
"Yun Ming!!!"
