Qin Ze was utterly shocked, his right hand holding the photo trembling uncontrollably.
He plopped down on the rock behind him and didn't recover for several seconds.
This family photo was taken on his sixteenth birthday.
Compared to now, he looks more youthful in the photo.
In Qin Ze's memory, his parents were always away on business trips, and from childhood to adulthood, it was just him and Qin Yu who "depended on each other for survival."
Qin Yu is both a father and a mother.
She always says that an elder sister is like a mother, and that's not an exaggeration at all.
Qin Ze still remembers that on his sixteenth birthday, Qin Yu took him to the snack shop on Happiness Street as usual.
After celebrating their birthdays, the siblings discovered that their parents, who had been away on a business trip, had returned home.
So Qin Yu suggested that they take a family photo on this special day.
The family rarely goes to a photo studio.
But why is this photo here?
Qin Ze was completely baffled.
After the photos were developed, they were hung in the living room of my house.
You can see it as soon as you open the door.
Before Qin Ze left Jiang City, he saw the photo on the wall.
Moreover, that photo was very large, which is clearly inconsistent with the current size, which is only the size of a palm.
"Besides the family photo at home, they printed out another one?" Qin Ze muttered to himself.
His first thought was that Qin Yu had left the photos there.
Although he still hasn't figured out the relationship between Qin Yu, Xia Huai'an, and the Fairy.
But one thing he was certain of was that Qin Yu was very strong, at least a Advanced Martial Artist, and she had definitely been to the Otherworld No. Zero.
Therefore, it is highly likely that Qin Yu accidentally dropped this photo.
Why does Qin Yu always carry a family photo with him?
That doesn't make sense!
I spend every day with Qin Yu, seeing him all the time.
Moreover, Qin Yu has a cheerful, carefree, and easygoing personality; she's not the type to dwell on the past.
It's reasonable for parents to carry a family photo with them, since they spend 360 out of 365 days a year traveling for work.
etc...
Qin Ze's breathing became increasingly heavy.
A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Could this photo be one that my parents accidentally left here?
Since Qin Ze was released from the mental hospital, he hadn't seen his parents for the entire summer vacation plus most of his first semester of college.
Qin Yu said the two went on a trip to rekindle their old romance.
At first, Qin Ze could occasionally contact his parents by phone, but later the phone was always out of service, to the point that Qin Ze even thought they had gone to Penglai City for tourism.
Qin Yu told him not to worry.
They're all adults, how could they possibly get lost?
In addition, Qin Ze encountered more and more things and became increasingly busy.
From the Tide of Jiang City to the Virgo battle in Sea Capital.
He's like a spinning top; once he starts spinning, he never stops.
Gradually, he forgot about his parents' trip.
Thinking about it now, it's not impossible that this photo is related to the two elderly people.
If Qin Yu in this world is so powerful, it's not unreasonable for his parents to be Demigod, right?
"I've seen people hope their fathers will become dragons, but I've never seen anyone hope their fathers will become gods."
"If our parents really Demigod, then what were all those hard times we endured?"
"We're considered second-generation gods too."
"Wake up, we're still in Otherworld No. Zero, stop dreaming."
"..."
The incessant chatter of the clones interrupted Qin Ze's thoughts.
He needs to have a serious talk with Qin Yu about his parents after they leave Otherworld No. Zero.
Qin Ze looked up and gazed at the hazy mountains in the distance.
Could Mom and Dad really be inside the Otherworld No. Zero?
"Hey, how long are you going to sit on my head?"
"I'm not a chair, get your damn ass off me!"
Qin Ze was startled and suddenly spread his legs and looked down at his buttocks.
Good heavens, the stone spoke, and it spoke in Spirit Language.
What kind of look is that?
Haven't you ever seen a talking stone?
"Short-sighted two-legged beast."
Qin Ze stood up with the photo in his hand, examining the rock, which was less than half a meter high, with great interest.
The stone's surface was as smooth as a pebble, resembling a horizontally lying oval duck egg.
The clones watched with great interest.
"Good heavens! A stone has become a spirit!"
"It has no nose, no eyes, and no mouth, so how does it talk?"
"It's a male rock."
"Just ask them who left this photo here."
"..."
Qin Ze said calmly, "You've been here the whole time?"
The stone snorted, "I am a very ancient being, existing as long as this world."
"There's nothing about this world that I don't know."
Qin Ze's eyes lit up. "Are there any remains of Desolate God here?"
Stone scoffed, "What kind of god is this 'Desolate God '? I've never even heard of him."
Qin Ze's face darkened. "What about Xiezhi General? He's a subordinate of the God of the Underworld, you should at least know him, right?"
Stone scoffed even more. " Crab General? Why not call it Shrimp Soldier? Why would I pay attention to such a minor character?"
The Dharma King said on the Local Area Network, "What a useless rock, chop it up."
One second it claimed to know everything in the world, but it turns out it didn't even know Xiezhi General, the Test Subject X.
Qin Ze picked up the photo. "Have you ever seen the person in this picture?"
Stone replied, "I've seen it before; isn't it standing right in front of me now?"
Qin Ze drew a white bone sword.
What a cheap stone, just chop it up.
As Qin Ze raised his greatsword in a slashing motion, the stone emitted a sharp cracking sound.
"Wait, wait!"
"Besides you, I've also seen the other two!"
"This is what they left behind!"
Qin Ze's expression was solemn.
The stone refers to my parents.
Sure enough, they had also been to the Otherworld No. Zero.
"Go on."
Stone trembled. "What did you say?"
Qin Ze: "Everything you saw about them."
Faced with the white bone sword pressed against his head, Stone lost his previous smug tone and immediately told everything.
"They passed by here before and rested on my head, just like you."
"Then he took out that thing, and while looking at it, he started babbling in a language I couldn't understand."
Stones can only understand Spirit Language.
My parents definitely communicate in Human Race Chinese in private.
Qin Ze said in a deep voice, "Continue."
Stone shuddered. "They seem to be preparing to climb Underworld Mountain."
Then, it muttered to itself, "It's dangerous up in the mountains, but they were disrespectful to me, sitting on my head with their butts, so I couldn't be bothered to warn them..."
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows. The Underworld Mountain that Shi Tou mentioned should be the tall mountain shrouded in gray mist in the distance.
The fact that my parents are going to climb that mountain means their cultivation level is at least at the Peak of Level Nine.
Thinking of this, Qin Ze couldn't help but gasp.
Could I really be a second-generation genius?
After gathering his thoughts, Qin Ze asked, "What's on the mountain?"
Stone replied, " Underworld Mountain, Underworld Mountain Ming, of course, is inhabited by the God of the Underworld."
