"Speaking of which, you don't know her yet, do you?"

"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy, you probably haven't been there yet."

"Going to be an exchange student... that was after I was a reserve member of the Shrek Battle Team, and I participated in that year's Soul Master Competition with the team... It was during the years of further study in the Sun Moon Empire that I met Ju Zi, who was just my senior sister at the time."

"Unfortunately, at the time we thought it was just an ordinary thing."

Looking back, all I feel is regret.

"If I had been braver back then, perhaps our ending wouldn't have been like that... Of course, on the other hand, if she had really gone with me, there would have been no Dong'er, and the scene of Dong'er and I recognizing each other at the Sea God's Fate would have been impossible. You should know Dong'er's temper even if I don't say it... She's always been rather proud."

"And then again..."

"Even if Ju Zi had been willing to come with me and return to the Shrek Academy, I wouldn't have been able to help her fulfill her obsession and wishes. Instead, I would have been caught in the middle, torn between two sides... In the end, it might have ended well, but the greater probability would have been a tragedy, a parting of ways... just like me and her in history."

"Because I am the son of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Duke."

"And her parents died at the hands of Dai Hao."

"Even though war is merciless, her parents were not actually killed by Dai Hao's own hands, but they died in the massacre of the Slaughter the City ordered by Dai Hao... Such a deep hatred will surely be unforgettable in this lifetime."

Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion, took the drinks.

Pour the purplish-red liquor into the glass.

Gazing at the swirling surface of the wine, I couldn't resist taking a sip, savoring the taste. The Sisi sweetness was a way of suppressing the bitterness in my heart. Finally, I sighed, "If that's the case, then perhaps it's better not to see you!"

"Then you really are no human being!"

Huo Yuhao followed closely behind, letting out a soft sigh.

In a tone that sounds regretful.

Unwittingly, he Dou Three himself in the face.

Even Electrolux and Sky Dream Ice Worm didn't expect Huo Yuhao to say such a thing, especially in such a setting.

The God of Emotion Dai Yuhao, was naturally stunned by Huo Yuhao's invisible slap. His head was buzzing, and he subconsciously put down his wine glass, staring blankly at himself and at the young man who was sitting right across from him, no more than three meters away, existing in the Dou Two timeline, who seemed familiar yet different.

"Didn't you hear me?"

"Then I'll say it again!"

"You're not human... Dai Yuhao!"

"At the very least, what you did was inhumane!"

Huo Yuhao slowly swirled his wine glass, letting the wine ripple under the light. He spoke with certainty, as if asking a question, but also as if answering an undeniable fact. "I could never do what that man did... or even worse, abandoning his wife and children... squandering his promising future!"

It seems like something has been hit where it hurts.

Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion, immediately began to breathe heavily.

He slammed his wine glass down on the table.

He asked, unusually out of control, "You think you know a lot, that you can stand on the side of justice and question my choice... You have no idea what means she used to get this child, and at that time, Wu Tong was still alive, my official girlfriend was always Tang Wutong, I had no idea about the existence of this child..."

"There's never been such a thing as a 'legitimate' one!"

"It's just a matter of whether you're willing to take responsibility!"

"Are you willing to take on the responsibilities that came with being a father back then?"

Huo Yuhao rudely interrupted his outrageous remarks from Dou Three.

Perhaps what Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion, said is true.

But to Huo Yuhao, it still sounded incredible.

Especially Dai Yuhao's out-of- God of Emotion behavior directly enraged Huo Yuhao, to the point that he also slammed his wine glass on the table with a loud thud, his voice rising as he stared at his counterpart from Dou Three with disgust. "Do you know that she had more than one choice during her pregnancy? If she didn't like you, she could have aborted the baby. The fact that she chose to give birth to this child means she has feelings for you. Even if you don't have feelings for her, you should at least give her some respect, instead of using the excuse of being her official girlfriend!"

What is an excuse?

"You mean you want me to marry two?"

"You married her?"

"Remarry Wu Tong?"

"Isn't this making Wu Tong feel wronged?"

Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion, never expected that his younger self from Dou Two would dare to slam his fist on the table. Furthermore, this was something he had never dared to mention—not because it was a scandal or a dark history, but because he felt guilty. Therefore, when his defenses were breached by sharp words, his instinctive reaction was all the more intense, to the point that he didn't even realize his voice had unconsciously risen. "Besides, she forcibly extracted from me using those methods... In short, later it was all through implantation, implanted into her body, that's how she got the child. I never touched her, I didn't even know about it. Does that mean what she did without my permission was right... Moreover, later I heard that the Sun Moon Emperor Xu Tianran, whom she served, was infertile, which is why she chose me. This shows that her motives were impure to begin with... Without the responsibility of love, that's not responsibility, but an excuse for being defeated by scheming..."

"Is this all you know?"

Huo Yuhao laughed in anger.

He placed both hands on the table.

Sit up straight, or even lean forward.

Stare at yourself, who is now emotionally agitated.

Of course, Huo Yuhao himself is indeed not in a good mood right now.

If I had to put it in perspective, it would be a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

But in terms of momentum.

But it was accompanied by a furious outburst of anger.

It crashed down in an instant!

"Even if Xu Tianran is infertile, even if Xu Tianran gave her the order... what, does she really need your help?"

There are so many men in the world!

"Even if she found a beggar on the street, she could still complete the task, just like Princess Dao Bai Feng of Dali in the novel 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'..."

"Forget it, there's no point in talking to you about this."

"You don't even know who this person is."

"Anyway, use your pig brain to think about it!"

Why is she contacting you?

"Secondly, even if she used some unscrupulous means, at most you can deny her character, but you can't deny her love!"

"Didn't you just say that?"

"A responsibility without love is not a responsibility."

"Really."

"I don't deny that."

"But what about the responsibility of love?"

"Did you do it?"

"To say that marrying two women would be beneath Tang Wutong... that's utter nonsense!"

What is the essence of love?

"The essence of love is about giving and receiving!"

"Just like Brother Ye and Sister Nan Nan... If you think I, Ye Qingcang, am capable, a real man, someone who can support you, someone who can give you a sense of security, and someone who makes you feel that choosing me was worthwhile, then please accept my shortcomings and understand my difficulty in making a choice... But if you think I, Ye Qingcang, am incompetent, that I don't have the skills but insist on taking on the job, that I can't even take care of one girlfriend, yet I'm thinking of taking care of two, three, four, five, six, seven, and many more, and you can't accept that, then let's be more open-minded and part ways amicably... We'll meet again anywhere in the world, and if true feelings exist, why be bound by formalities?"

"A title or status is merely a matter of your attitude!"

"It's about whether you're willing to give it to them or not!"

"Not something that others demanded!"

"The initiative is in your hands!"

"You should have been straightforward with this Wu Tong back then... What should I say? I, Huo Yuhao... Bah, I, Dai Yuhao, have never been one to shirk responsibility. I genuinely didn't know about this matter, but my mother died when I was young. My father isn't dead, but theoretically, I just lacked the opportunity to kill him. So, I don't want my child to grow up in an environment lacking a father's love. Right now, you can curse me, you can curse Ju Zi, curse my ruthlessness, my disregard for feelings for the sake of responsibility, you can also curse Ju Zi's despicable methods to persuade me. But, as a man, especially a mature man, responsibility must indeed take precedence over personal feelings... Since it's impossible to have both, then I'll bear everything alone, I'll be the one to apologize to you... Instead of abandoning my wife and children, using the so-called distinction between the legitimate and illegitimate heirs, and seemingly reasonably ignoring responsibility under the guise of apologizing to someone!"

"Humans do not depend on others for their lives to have meaning!"

"I, Dai Yuhao, will live just as well without you!"

"I, Dai Yuhao, will still live without her!"

"You will all live without me!"

"So, this is my attitude!"

"Become a god?"

"So what if I can't become a god?"

"Even if a person with a wicked heart possesses eternal life, they are nothing more than a long-lasting malignant tumor... But a person who upholds their principles, even if they only exist for a fleeting moment, will shine like a shooting star in everyone's eyes, and even if they only bring them joy for a moment, it is meaningful enough!"

"Lifespan does not determine a person's worth!"

"And that cannot explain a person's significance to the world!"

Even if you say that only the survivor is king.

"The one who lives the longest is the true winner."

"Compared to your muddled pursuit of immortality, I yearn for a fleeting moment of clarity!"

The torrential outpouring of emotions has finally come to an end.

It wasn't that Huo Yuhao ran out of words to curse.

Rather, it means that he could only hold on for this long.

therefore.

After catching my breath.

Like an ordinary person running ten miles in one breath, Huo Yuhao, panting heavily, had released some of his pent-up anger, so his tone softened slightly, but it still remained at the level of a scathing rebuke. He spoke quite rudely, "And that Wu Tong you mentioned... Based on my understanding of that bastard Tang San, he must have combined Wang Dong's soul with the Auspicious Beast's again. If you really like Wang Dong... Wang Dong'er, you just can't stop talking like that, damn it... Anyway, even disregarding the issue of whether a rabbit eats the grass near its burrow, you should just go all out!" "Destiny prevented this. Wang Dong'er has always been Wang Dong'er, and the Auspicious Beast has always been the Auspicious Beast. Even if Wang Dong'er, with the Auspicious Beast's soul added, possesses Wang Dong'er's memories, she is no longer Wang Dong'er. It's like me creating a puppet, extracting someone's memories and injecting them into the puppet. Can that puppet then claim to be the person I know?... Even if you abandon your so-called responsibilities, are a boy who will never grow up, a coward who shrinks back at the first sign of danger, is this how you express your so-called love? Is this how you express it through self-comfort?"

"What can I do?"

"I can't afford to gamble, do you understand?"

"I!"

"I'm not betting!"

"Do you think I don't want to take responsibility?"

"Do you think I don't want to give Yunhan a perfect childhood?"

"The question is, am I able to give it?"

"Father-in-law... he threatened Ju Zi with the child's life to force him to withdraw his troops. Even if Deity cannot interfere in human affairs, what can they do even if they do?"

"A punishment that's barely noticeable?"

"Or is it an exaggerated death?"

"Even death... can it bring my child back to Goddess of Life?"

"Cannot!"

Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion, slammed his fist on the table.

The liquor splashed out of the glass.

Perhaps he did indeed abandon his wife and children.

Because it is a fact, he cannot deny it.

But another fact also needs to be noted!

That is: Ju Zi and his son survived!

Perhaps it's quite shameless of Ju Zi to use her son to threaten him. After all, his son isn't just his son; Ju Zi also has the role of a mother. From any perspective, it's quite ruthless for a mother to use her son to threaten someone. However, from the perspective of the outcome, it's just Ju Zi's psychological tactic. Ju Zi is betting that he will soften his heart!

Otherwise, we'll definitely stick to the fight in the later stages!

He wouldn't say that because his son was captured by his father-in-law, the Poseidon Tang San, he immediately backed down, agreed to withdraw his troops, and promised to end the war!

This shows that Ju Zi is also worried about her son!

It's not that there's no family affection at all!

After all, with Ju Zi's prestige at the time, he could completely replace the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. To put it bluntly, whoever the military of the Sun Moon Empire stood behind was the real royal family. Especially after Ju Zi purged the major Royal Soul Engineer Corps of the Sun Moon Empire, the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire could be said to have lost even the last bit of chance to turn the tide. Therefore, even if his son Xu Yunhan died, the war machine of the Sun Moon Empire could still maintain normal operation and would never come to a standstill!

In this way...

Why did Ju Zi retreat?

A woman who can be ruthless even to herself.

They would absolutely not care about their own lives.

But just as he expected.

He can't afford to gamble.

Just like Ju Zi, I can't afford to gamble.

So, whether you call it a lifelong commitment to one person or protecting Ju Zi and the child, he really had no choice and no way out.

Ju Zi won his soft heart.

They also lost the gamble because of Tang San's ruthlessness.

He lost his gamble on the Ju Zi.

But he won his gamble against Tang San's plan.

"So, now that things have come to this point, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Actually, I understand everything."

"They just can't understand it."

"I have lost too much along the way."

"We lost our teacher, Electrolux."

"We've lost Dong'er."

"Qiu'er has lost her Auspicious Beast form."

"We lost our Grandmaster and Teacher Xiao Ya."

"And there's my other teacher, Mu En."

"And everyone who promised to witness my wedding with Dong'er."

"Therefore, my personal honor or disgrace is not important."

"The important thing is that I didn't lose them, mother and child."

"At least they survived."

Dai Yuhao, the God of Emotion, summarized it this way.

A sense of relief mingled with a touch of dejection.

But regarding this point...

Huo Yuhao, however, had a different perspective. "Perhaps you're right... but among all the losses you've made, you've overlooked one crucial point: you've lost yourself... no, perhaps it's more accurate to say: you've betrayed your former self, Dai Yuhao... and a person who has lost themselves can never control their own Destiny of others. Taking a step back means being eliminated... that's the difference between you and me!"
