Zhao Tengkong's father had once been wildly ambitious and harmed countless people.
In the end, he fled to escape punishment, bringing his entire family with him. He took his wife and children along, and his youngest son, Zhao Tengkong, had lived underground since birth.
He could be said to have been selfish his entire life, but in the end, he still chose to leave hope to his son.
The Green Emperor's trait was in him. Only after he died would his youngest child inherit it.
For this reason, he gave up on becoming D-Class Personnel, because even if he activated the Green Emperor's trait, he would still only be D-Class Personnel.
By comparison, Zhao Tengkong was innocent and had a far broader future ahead of him.
At the end of his life, he chose to point Zhao Tengkong toward the right path. After that, he only wished for a swift death.

In the open regions of Shadow Earth, the average temperature was only ninety to one hundred kelvin. An ordinary person would die within seconds.
When he died, Mo Qiong brought Zhao Tengkong to watch.
Zhao Tengkong wept bitterly, but he did not go mad or anything, because his father had been smiling when he died.
"He used to be most afraid of death. He always said that the outside world was dangerous, and that we'd die if people discovered us or something... Why isn't he afraid now?" Zhao Tengkong asked, puzzled.
Mo Qiong smiled. "Because he carried hope with him. That's all."
"Dad, tell me what I should do," Zhao Tengkong said seriously.
"Come with me."
Mo Qiong gave him a push, sending Zhao Tengkong to the headquarters, then followed him there.
