“Hello, Dad? Are you my dad? Can you come and save Xiaoxiao and Mom? They're hurting Xiaoxiao. It hurts so much. Xiaoxiao is scared they’ll take Mom away too… sob sob…”
“Little one, have you dialed the wrong number?”
“No, Mom told me this number. My mom is Gao Weiwei. Are you my dad, Xiao Tiance? Dad, please come save us! I can’t talk for long. The bad guys who hit Xiaoxiao are coming back. Please hurry, Dad… I… I didn't make this call. I'm too scared… bang!”
This was the brief call Xiao Tiance received just an hour ago, far away on the central battlefield of the world. He had just led his troops to annihilate the world's largest dark organization, the Black Sky Group. As he was lighting a cigarette, he got a call from a little girl. At first, Xiao Tiance thought it was a wrong number, but when the sobbing girl mentioned both his and Gao Weiwei’s names, he suddenly shuddered! When he tried to call back, the line was already disconnected, and in the last sounds from the call, he vaguely heard what seemed like the girl being hit and her phone being smashed.
Boom! A fierce aura erupted from Xiao Tiance. In the next moment, without any hesitation, he dashed down the mountain at top speed, jumped into an SUV, and his subordinates immediately followed suit.
“Drive, fast! Get us to China at top speed! Track down the location of that phone number, now! Fast, fast, fast!” Xiao Tiance shouted urgently at the two men in front as he got into the car. His eyes were already bloodshot, and tears were uncontrollably streaming down his face.
The two subordinates in the front seat saw Xiao Tiance’s tear-streaked face and were deeply shaken. Without a moment’s hesitation, one of them drove while the other quickly worked on tracing the phone number Xiao Tiance had handed over. Immediately, two SUVs roared to life, pushing their speeds to the limit, racing toward the direction of the Daxia Kingdom like arrows shot from a bow.
In the back seat of the first SUV, Xiao Tiance’s body trembled uncontrollably, his breathing rapid. In an instant, all the emotions in his heart exploded. Tears flowed uncontrollably.
He was now certain that the crying little girl who had called him for help was his daughter—his own flesh and blood, the daughter of Xiao Tiance, the supreme commander of the Temple of the God of War and the number one warrior of Xiajing! And at this moment, his daughter, whom he had never met, was being beaten!
“Ahhhh!” Xiao Tiance couldn’t help but let out a heart-wrenching roar, filled with overwhelming sorrow and guilt.
The subordinate driving the car in front shivered upon hearing Xiao Tiance’s anguished cry and pushed the speed even further.
Boom! Xiao Tiance’s aura shot straight to the sky. At that moment, even the clouds in the night sky seemed to part, cleaved by the earth-shattering presence of Xiao Tiance.
Xiao Tiance was originally the rightful heir of the Xiao family, one of the hidden aristocratic families of Xiajing. But six years ago, his biological mother suddenly passed away, and he was immediately driven out of the family by his stepmother, who was eager to seize power. That day, all of Xiajing was in an uproar. Desperate for revenge, Xiao Tiance first went to his fiancée, who was also from a prominent family in Xiajing, but she tore up their engagement in front of him and threw him out. In utter despair, Xiao Tiance fled Xiajing overnight and went south to Tianhai to seek help from his best friend, but to his shock, his friend betrayed him, poisoned him, and sent people to kill him.

That year, Xiao Tiance hit the darkest moment of his life. Everything happened so suddenly—being expelled from his family, having his engagement annulled by his beloved, and being poisoned and hunted by his best friend! By the time he fled to Beijiang City, he was on the brink of suicide, overwhelmed by enemies he couldn’t defeat and crushed by the unrelenting blows that shattered his spirit.
So, on that night six years ago, a poisoned and gravely injured Xiao Tiance stood by the river in Beijiang City, gazing at the surging waters below, and jumped in, intending to end his life. But to his astonishment, he was saved by a girl who happened to be strolling by the river, and that girl was Gao Weiwei.
At that time, Gao Weiwei had just graduated from college and was full of hope for the world. She was beautiful, gentle, and radiated youthful energy. After saving Xiao Tiance, she brought him to her rented room and took care of him, encouraging him. It was her encouragement that brought warmth back into Xiao Tiance’s heart, and they became the best of friends. After his wounds healed, he left.
Bearing a deep grudge, Xiao Tiance left Daxia and went to the battlefield, determined to gain immense power and return for revenge! He fought his way through countless battles, and finally, five years later, he established the Temple of the God of War, a force that shook the entire world. With four Heavenly Kings, nine War Gods, and countless powerful subordinates under his command, Xiao Tiance had amassed the strength to exact his revenge! Originally, after destroying the Black Sky Group tonight, he had planned to return, but suddenly, he received a distress call from his daughter!
As Xiao Tiance recalled the terrified, desperate voice of his daughter crying out for help, a deep, indescribable pain gripped his heart. His daughter, Gao Xiaoxiao, and the girl who had saved him back then, Gao Weiwei!
Did I ultimately end up hurting you? Xiao Tiance closed his eyes in anguish, tears streaming down his face.
At that time, not only had he been gravely injured, but he had also been poisoned, which sometimes caused him to lose his senses at night. Xiao Tiance still remembered waking up one morning to find Gao Weiwei acting strangely, her eyes red as if she had been crying. But when he asked her what was wrong, Gao Weiwei said nothing, insisting that she was fine.
It was only tonight, after receiving his daughter’s plea for help, that he finally realized that he had hurt Gao Weiwei, the girl who had saved him that night. And what he never expected was that Gao Weiwei had become pregnant and given birth to his child.
Gao Weiwei could be considered the light of Xiao Tiance’s life, the one who gave him a new lease on life, to whom he owed an immense debt of gratitude. Xiao Tiance had always planned to return and repay her, to protect her for the rest of his life. He knew Gao Weiwei hadn’t married. But he never knew that she had also given birth to his daughter!
Xiao Tiance’s life had been full of hardship. Since childhood, he had never been favored by his family. The only warmth he ever felt came from his late mother and Gao Weiwei. Tears flowed uncontrollably as he thought of his daughter, whom he had never met, so terrified and desperate as she called him for help. His heart was filled with endless sorrow.
“Are you my dad, Xiao Tiance?”
“Dad, please come save Xiaoxiao and Mom.”
“Dad, Xiaoxiao hurts… it hurts so much.”
“Dad, Xiaoxiao is scared… so scared.”
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster!!!” His daughter’s desperate cries echoed in Xiao Tiance’s mind. His daughter was barely over four years old, so small, so very small… Ahhhhh!
Xiao Tiance was now completely consumed by madness, unable to suppress the murderous rage within him. The clouds in the sky parted, making way for his overwhelming presence.
His own daughter, the daughter of the world’s greatest warrior and the supreme commander of the Temple of the God of War, had been treated like this.
Within minutes, Xiao Tiance and his men reached an airport in the western border of the Daxia Kingdom. Without wasting a moment, they boarded a fighter jet and sped toward the location where his daughter had called for help.
