Su Zhengdao Regretted It Again

The front line of the Star Beast Battlefield.

The surrounding area was filled with enthusiastic praise.

Some people are explaining the life of Popular Science Heavenly King Qi Ye, while many others are cursing the Su Family Patriarch and his entire family for being blind to the truth.

But no one noticed that several figures stood silently at the back of the crowd.

It was Su Zhengdao, Xuanyuan Mingmou, and Su Mingyue.

At this moment, the three men were dressed in ordinary military uniforms, their bodies stained with dried blood from the Star Beast, and their faces showing the weariness of long Battle Formation.

They stood amidst the cheering crowd, yet felt out of place, simply watching the figure on the Light Screen surrounded by flowers and applause.

Su Zhengdao's demeanor was much more composed than before, and he spoke less. His eyes were deep, like an ancient well filled with submerged stones.

Xuanyuan Mingmou had lost the refined appearance of a noblewoman she once was. Her skin was rough, and fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes. However, she had gained a kind of murderous aura that she had never had before, as if she had been tempered by the fires of war and had grown a toughness from her bones.

Su Mingyue, however, has changed the most.

The once pampered young lady now stands upright and calm by the trench.

She was wearing a short-sleeved military uniform, revealing a mechanical arm on her left arm; the metal frame gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

Su Mingyue glanced down at her robotic arm and smiled wryly.

When Su Ye severed her arm, she was filled with resentment.

She hated Su Ye being heartless, for being ruthless, and for not caring about Su Ye sibling bond.

She felt that she was the older sister and Su Ye was the younger brother, and it was against all reason for a younger brother to hit his older sister.

But these days, on the front lines of the Star Beast Battlefield, fighting against Star Beast every day, watching her comrades fall, and listening to those simple Warrior curse the Demon Race, the Star Beast, and the traitors who betrayed humanity, her state of mind gradually changed.

The Warrior didn't recognize her, didn't know who she was, and just assumed she was a newcomer.

They taught her how to dodge the attacks of the Star Beast, how to survive on the battlefield, and how not to break down when her comrades fell.

Their eyes lit up when they talked about Su Ye, the Heavenly King Qi Ye.

"Su Ye? He's Great Hero of humanity!"

"If it weren't for Su Ye, would the Demon Race have been wiped out? Dream on!"

"I'd be willing to give up ten years of my life just to see Su Ye!"

Su Mingyue listened to these words, it felt as if something inside her had shattered, and something else had grown back.

One night, as she sat in the trench cleaning the robotic arm, she suddenly remembered the first time she met Su Ye.

The boy who was found and brought back to the Su Family was thin. He stood in the main hall of the Su Family, his eyes filled with wariness and stubbornness.

What she was thinking at the time was...

Who is this person?

On what grounds should they divide the Su Family's property?

Even Su Ye's arrival changed how people looked at Su Yang; she was filled with resentment towards this suddenly appearing younger brother.

Her younger brother must be Su Yang!

That outstanding boy who followed her around since childhood and called her "sister".

Instead of Su Ye, who couldn't even awaken his powers, Martial Arts were utterly terrible, and who was also incredibly unsophisticated.

How could the Su Family have such a terrible person?

Su Mingyue, who had always been aloof and superior, how could she tolerate having such a Perfection younger brother?

So...

She never gave Su Ye a sisterly hug.

She never cared about Su Ye's well-being over the years.

She even made things difficult for him at every turn, targeted him at every turn, and even... laid a hand on Su Ye.

Thinking of everything that had happened, Su Mingyue subconsciously clenched her fist, the knuckles of the mechanical arm cracking loudly.

Later, Su Ye Leaving the Family. Looking back, Su Mingyue realized that what she had done was probably wrong.

Can...

She is the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Su Family, how could she be mistaken?!

She even wondered... why couldn't Su Ye just take the initiative to apologize?

She went along with it.

But Su Ye insisted on doing it, and even... cut off one of her arms!

At that moment, Su Mingyue was filled with extreme hatred!

I really wish Su Ye were dead!

Can...

Everyone, however, said it was her fault!

It's her fault!

Even her father, and even her mother who had originally been on her side, said that she was wrong.

Su Mingyue, however, remained unwilling to lower her proud head.

But at this moment...

Listening to the cheers around her and looking at the young man being praised by the whole world on the Light Screen, Su Mingyue suddenly gave a bitter smile.

"Was I... really wrong?"

The words were spoken so softly that they were almost drowned out by the cheers.

But Xuanyuan Mingmou was standing right next to her and heard it.

Xuanyuan Mingmou didn't look at her daughter; her eyes were fixed on the boy in the Light Screen, unblinking, as if she wanted to etch that figure into her bones.

These are her own flesh and blood.

She carried the baby for ten months, eagerly anticipating its birth.

She made little clothes, shoes, and hats for her unborn child, sewing every stitch herself.

She told Su Zhengdao that the child should grow up to be like his father, a person of integrity and uprightness.

I hope this child can live a life bathed in sunshine, free from darkness and gloom.

But she lost him.

For eighteen years, she couldn't be there to watch him grow up.

Instead... they named the child Su Zhengdao brought back Su Yang and poured all their heart and soul into him.

Eighteen years later, the child she had been hoping for was finally found.

But... what did she do after she was found?

She did a lot of wrong things.

She never gave him a single Good Days, never gave him a smile, never gave him a hug.

Xuanyuan Mingmou's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them.

"Dao Ge..."

Xuanyuan Mingmou's voice was terribly hoarse, tinged with tears.

Su Zhengdao reached out and put his arm around his wife's shoulder, pulling her closer to him.

"It's not your fault."

Su Zhengdao sighed.

"You were also tricked back then, your mind corrupted by Demonic Energy. Honestly, it was me who failed to protect the child, and also failed to protect you, failing to notice your abnormality. I, as your father, am the most useless."

Looking at the figure in the Light Screen, Su Zhengdao felt both proud and somewhat disappointed.

More than anything, there was regret.

This is his child.

His Bone Marrow.

He is Su Zhengdao's son.

But what has he, as a father, done for his son?

Why was he so cruel to his son who had just been found?

I deeply regret my actions.

Su Zhengdao took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision.

Mingmu, Mingyue.

Let's go to the Divine Realm too.

Xuanyuan Mingmou widened in surprise, and he looked up at him.

"Dao Ge, you..."

Su Zhengdao's voice grew increasingly firm.

"We came to the front lines of the Star Beast Battlefield to atone for our sins, but now that the threat of the Star Beast is gone, there's no point in staying here any longer. We might as well go to the Divine Realm. The great battle has just ended, and there must be many things to do there. We can do what we can to help in the Divine Realm."

He glanced at Su Mingyue's robotic arm.

"Moreover, if we go to the Divine Realm, we might be able to find a way to restore Mingyue's arm."

He paused, his voice lowering slightly.

"It also... allows me to get closer to Su Ye."

They already felt bad for Su Ye and didn't want to bother Su Ye. They just wanted to be closer to Su Ye and know more about him.

Su Zhengdao had another thought in mind, but he didn't say it aloud.

Su Ye is so capable; as Su Ye's biological father, he can't hold him back.

He also needs to cultivate even more diligently.

Perhaps, it can even help Su Ye in the future.

Even if it's just a little bit of busy work.

Even if it's just so that when Su Ye needs manpower in the Divine Realm, he can turn around and see his father there.

Xuanyuan Mingmou and Su Mingyue exchanged a glance.

Then, they both nodded.

"Alright, let's go to the Divine Realm!"
