"But now, you've stepped out of the shadows and started a new life. And Xue'er..."
" Xue'er is now the love of my life, someone I'm willing to protect for the rest of my life. What unresolved issues could there be between you two?"
Huo Yuhao's words were like a warm current, quietly melting the ice wall that had stood between the two for many years. Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance, and although they did not speak immediately, their eyes already showed a hint of softening and understanding.
Bibi Dong walked up to Huo Yuhao and Qian Renxue. " Xue'er, I've never told you everything that happened before. Now I want to tell you all of this, all my pain."
Her voice was soft yet firm. "You be the one to judge... whether I am still worthy to be your mother."
"No matter what, we both love Hao Yi now. As his mother and his lover, I feel it's my duty to do this to clear up some of the misunderstandings between us."
After saying that, Bibi Dong raised her hand, her fingertips swirling with a faint aura of Soul Power.
She slowly projected the most profound yet painful part of her memory into Qian Renxue's mind through the resonance of her Soul Power. Qian Renxue also saw in her mind the pain that belonged to Bibi Dong.
Qian Renxue closed her eyes, and memories of Bibi Dong flooded back like a tide—the struggles, humiliations, despair, and resilience presented so vividly and heavily before her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, tears were already silently streaming down her face.
She walked step by step toward Bibi Dong, her voice choked with emotion yet filled with longing. "Mother... can I still call you that?"
Tears welled up in Bibi Dong's eyes as she gently stroked her daughter's cheek, her voice filled with love and tenderness. "Of course, my daughter. Ever since I emerged from the shadows and was reborn, I've been hoping for the opportunity to tell you everything... hoping that we, mother and daughter, can finally meet the day when we are no longer at odds."
Qian Renxue could no longer suppress her surging emotions and suddenly threw herself into Bibi Dong's arms, her voice choked with sobs but filled with relief:
"Mom... Xue'er finally understands, understands how much pain you endured back then. I also finally see... my father, what kind of person he really is."
She buried her face in her mother's shoulder and said in a trembling voice, "I shouldn't have been born. It was because of his sins that you were born."
Bibi Dong gently stroked her long hair, her tone tender yet firm. "Let bygones be bygones. Now, I have a new life, a new beginning. I don't need to dwell on those old pains and suffer every day."
Qian Renxue raised her head, tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes, but deliberately adopted a haughty demeanor as she turned to Huo Yuhao: "Hmph, Brother Huo, I never imagined that my daughter and I would both fall into your hands. You'd better take responsibility for us."
A warm smile spread across Huo Yuhao's eyes as he solemnly replied, "Yes, I will take responsibility, for the three of you. Dong'er, Xue'er, Nana, each and every one of you is someone I love."
The four of them huddled together, creating a heartwarming scene.
Seeing that Hu Liena hadn't said anything, Huo Yuhao said to Hu Liena, " Nana, long time no see, you've become even more beautiful!"
Hu Liena knew it was because Huo Yuhao wanted to make it up to her after ignoring her earlier, so she said to Huo Yuhao, "Brother Huo is getting more and more handsome!"
Huo Yuhao said to them, "By the way, there are some secrets I think I need to tell you as well."
Dong'er knew about this, but I kept it from Xue'er and Nana.
Qian Renxue and Hu Liena tilted their heads to look at him simultaneously and asked in unison, "What secret?"
Huo Yuhao calmly looked at the three women and slowly said, "Actually, I come from a reclusive family of deities, and I am now the inheritor of that deity's power."
This secret might not have surprised Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong much, but Hu Liena was staring blankly at Huo Yuhao.
"Brother Huo is... a successor of a deity? A god?" Hu Liena's voice trembled slightly, as if she needed to confirm that she hadn't misheard.
Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly, his tone tinged with apology. "Yes, Nana, Xue'er, I'm sorry, I kept it from you. I am the inheritor of a god, the God of Order, the one who controls the divine Godhood."
Now Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue understood Huo Yuhao's true Godhood title.
Even the Rakshasa God and the Angel God, who were secretly spying on Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, were taken aback.
In the Divine Realm, both of them were shocked at the same time.
God of Order?
The Rakshasa God murmured, " God of Order? I've never heard of God of Order in the Divine Realm."
A sharp glint flashed in her eyes. "Moreover, this kid actually claims to be from a family of hermit deities; that's simply impossible."
"Without this deity, how could there be a divine lineage?"
"Unless"
The Rakshasa God's face now showed astonishment. "This guy is a god secretly created by some deities."
This conjecture is indeed reasonable and well-founded; the Rakshasa God did indeed guess the key point, getting about half of it right.
She understood that it was absolutely impossible for such a young child to create Godhood on his own; there must be other deities supporting him. Even humans could not accomplish such a thing.
Only a god can create a new god.
This deity must be at the level of God King; otherwise, it would be a pipe dream for a mere First-Level God to create a god.
Even the Angel God, within his own temple, speculated, "I wonder which of the Five Great God Kings took a liking to this young man and secretly used the reputation of the Order God to inherit his divine Godhood."
"Either you want to create a new god, but even if you create a new god, it will only be a Second-Level God. Could you possibly create a First-Level God like me?"
"What are those God King thinking? Is this kid's talent truly Heaven-Defying, or is the Divine Realm about to undergo a transformation?"
The Angel God shook his head. "Change is unlikely. The God King are currently choosing their successors, so that's the only possibility. It's best not to think about it."
"As for Huo Lai, the successor of the God of Order, I really can't figure out his background. It's as if he doesn't exist here at all, yet he's inextricably linked to the Douluo Continent."
Asura God Temple
The Asura God stared at Huo Yuhao's figure in the illusion, a playful smile playing on his lips, "Good lad, you've hooked up with the successor of the Rakshasa God and the Angel God. But just who exactly is this God of Order he's talking about?"
But he immediately fell into deep thought, "Could it be that one of those two, the Goodness and the Evil, used an alias to deceive him and try to Godhood Inheritance to him?"
" Destruction versus life, those two are unlikely. Just considering Destruction that guy's power in the God Realm Committee, he wouldn't do that."
Thinking of this, the Asura God couldn't help but sigh, his tone tinged with regret and admiration. "Alas, this lad is truly the most suitable successor I've ever seen. Decisive in killing, he exudes the aura of a Asura God of Slaughter God. If he doesn't inherit my Asura God, which other deity would be more suitable?"
