Originally, according to Qin Ming's priority, his parents could have entered the Giant Axe Founder's Miniature Universe for protection.
But this is how his parents responded.
"Ming'er, we know you're doing this for our own good. But this is a place we've lived in for a long time, and we don't want to leave."
"What if you come back and we're not here? That wouldn't do. Although we can see you in the Virtual Universe, it's not the same. Here, at least we know you might walk in at any time."
Thinking of this, a warm feeling welled up in Qin Ming's heart.
He knew that his parents weren't drawn to the comfort of the place, but rather afraid that he wouldn't be able to find them when he returned.
Even when we meet in Virtual Universe, there's still a barrier between us.
Here, at least they could sense that their son might return at any moment.
This is the heart of a parent.
"Dad, Mom!"
Qin Ming looked at the two of them with a gentle smile in his eyes.
"From today onwards, I won't be leaving. I'll be staying here for a long time."
As soon as the words were spoken, Mr. and Mrs. Qin were both stunned.
They stared at Qin Ming, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
"Really?" Qin's mother's voice trembled slightly, her eyes sparkling with surprise.
Qin's father also stared at Qin Ming, his weathered face full of expectation.
For them, no matter what achievements their children make, nothing is better than having them by their side.
Undying, Universe Venerable —all those empty titles and glories are nothing compared to a son coming home to visit often in his parents' eyes.
Moreover, of the four children, Qin Ming was the one Qin's parents liked the most.
It wasn't because he was the most talented, nor because he achieved the most, but because he was the most sensible from a young age.
The eldest sister, Qin Lan, is too strong-willed; the second brother, Qin Shou, is too dull; and the youngest sister, Qin Xue, is too lively. Only Qin Ming has known how to be considerate of his parents and take care of his family since he was a child.
Ironically, because of his exceptional talent, Qin Ming spent the least amount of time with them.
Many years have passed since then. Although we can meet in the Virtual Universe, the feeling is ultimately different.
"Of course." Qin Ming nodded with a smile, his tone confident.
Seeing the joy on his parents' faces, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Today, he possesses four bodies.
The Star Crystal Beast's true form, the Space-Time Nightmare Beast's clone, the Blood Sea Clone, and the clone in the Jin World.
We can leave cultivation and other such matters to the other clones.
This body will remain here, to keep my parents company.
After all, once one breaks through to the level of Universe Venerable, or even higher, it will probably be difficult to have such a peaceful life again.
By then, we will face stronger enemies, more dangerous battles, and more complex situations. The time we can spend with our parents will only become less and less.
Spend more time with them now.
Qin Ming thought to himself.
The days that followed were the most peaceful time Qin Ming had ever known.
He took his parents and left Lanfeng Planet, embarking on a journey to travel through the human Universe Country.
Their first stop was the Nebula Sea, a famous tourist destination in the Ganwu Universe Country!
It was a peculiar region formed by countless fragments of stars, some as large as continents and others as small as dust.
They floated silently in the void, with faint nebulae surrounding them.
Illuminated by the starlight, those nebulae refracted a rainbow of colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet—layer upon layer, like a magnificent painting.
Standing on the viewing platform, Mr. and Mrs. Qin gazed at the beautiful scenery before them, speechless for a long time.
Mother Qin was mesmerized, murmuring, "So beautiful—I've lived all these years and this is the first time I've ever seen such a sight."
Qin's father nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining with a childlike light. "Yes!"
Standing behind them, Qin Ming looked at his parents' backs and suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
It's been hundreds of years.
He had always been away training and fighting, and had never brought his parents out to see such scenery.
"Dad, Mom, I'll take you to more places in the future," he said softly, his voice gentle.
"After we've finished exploring the Ganwu Universe Country, we'll head to the other Universe Country. Humanity has over a thousand Universe Country; that'll keep us busy for a long time."
Qin's mother turned around, her eyes filled with relief, her eyes slightly red.
"Well."
The second stop is another famous scenic spot in the Ganwu Universe Country: the Flowing Light Star Sea!
It was a special star system composed of tens of thousands of stars.
These stars are not randomly distributed, but arranged in a winding arc under the influence of a special force field, like a river of light spanning the void.
What's even more peculiar is that their light appears to flow under the influence of the force field.
Like a river flowing gently, Flowing Light and beautiful.
Qin Ming took his parents on a sightseeing spaceship, traveling through the sea of stars.
The spaceship is specially designed and completely transparent, allowing passengers to enjoy the outside scenery from every angle.
They flew past one star and then past another, the light flowing around the spaceship as if it were within reach.
"This... this is so beautiful," Qin's mother murmured, her eyes fixed on the outside.
"The scenery is in no way inferior to the previous one!"
Qin's father nodded repeatedly, then suddenly pointed into the distance. "Look over there!"
In the distance, the light from several stars intertwined, forming a huge halo, within which a faint rainbow appeared, a scene as beautiful as a dream.
Qin Ming stood to the side, looking at the smiles on his parents' faces, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
This kind of satisfaction is completely different from the satisfaction experienced during a breakthrough in cultivation.
It was a warmth from the bottom of my heart, a peace that cannot be described in words.
The third stop is the life-giving secret realm of Xuan'an Universe Country, the Ten Thousand Trees Forest!
It was a primeval forest composed of countless towering trees, located on a Primal Star devoid of intelligent life.
Each tree here is tens of thousands of meters tall, with trunks so thick that it takes hundreds of people to encircle them, and canopies that block out the sky, covering the entire sky in green.
The forest is home to countless strange and wonderful creatures, including palm-sized, glowing flying insects.
There is a snow-white, gentle, and adorable Fluffball Beast.
There are flying squirrels with wings that glide between the trees.
There were also all sorts of strange and unidentifiable creatures.
Qin Ming accompanied his parents on a walk in the woods, breathing in the fresh air and listening to the birdsong and insect chirps.
Qin's mother saw a furry little animal peek out from the bushes and couldn't resist going over to pet it.
The little beast wasn't afraid of people at all; instead, it rubbed against her hand and made a comfortable humming sound, which made Qin's mother laugh from ear to ear.
"This little guy is so cute." She looked up at Qin Ming.
Can I take it home and raise it?
Qin Ming smiled and shook his head, "Mom, these are native creatures here. They can't survive outside this environment. I'll bring you here again if you want to see them later."
