Zi Yang settled in his wheelchair and looked out the windows at the clan with an unreadable look in his eyes. He knew a lot about this world and his own clan.

This place was the Heavenly Sea continent and it was the weakest continent in the Heavenly Cloud World.

The one advantage of being the crippled father figure was that he knew secrets the Protagonist is always told ‘You’re too weak to know’. He smirked to himself and processed everything.

Heavenly Cloud World was divided into 3 continents; the Heavenly Sea continent, the Heavenly Sky continent, and finally the Abyssal Center continent!

But there was an even bigger secret!

The Heavenly Cloud World was merely a ‘Mortal Plane’!

Zi Yang himself knew there was a world above this one, as for if there was something above that world, he didn’t know, but if his experience in novels was even 1% reliable, there were many more ‘planes’ or ‘worlds’ perhaps endless?

Nevertheless, Zi Yang was excited.

Then he quickly remembered he was just a crippled old fool.

He clicked his tongue and muttered “What a buzz kill…”

Just as his words died out, there was a knock and the door opened.

Zi Yang continued to look at the clan as his son walked in.

It was Zi Tian!

Zi Tian looked at his father’s back in the wheelchair and clenched his fists tightly. He was only 6 years old when the enemy attacked, but with his superior soul strength, he could easily recall all events.

Zi Tian and Song Tian were the same person, just like Zi Yang, so he was feeling true respect and veneration for his new father. Looking at his desolate back and dull white hair, Zi Tian felt deep heartache and hatred. He quickly calmed himself and choked out “Father.”

Zi Yang trembled a bit and turned around, he saw a young man with bright eyes, long silky black hair, sword-like eyebrows, a sharp jawline, clad in a purple robe.

Zi Yang looked into Zi Tian’s eyes and looked at the features of his face before sighing. The sigh suppressed shock, amazement, sorrow, pity, heartache, anger, and helplessness all at once.

It was quite complicated.

Zi Tian didn’t even notice!

There were many reasons for the complicated sigh, one of them was that Zi Tian was an extremely handsome young man, he reminded Zi Yang of Yao Mu.

Zi Yang got a bit lost in memories as he recalled Yao Mu in detail.

Zi Tian looked at his father and stood there wordlessly, a bit shocked at heart. When Zi Yang looked at him, he felt like all his secrets were exposed, even his soul fusion!

Zi Tian was spooked and started getting nervous. If his father knew that he was no longer the same Zi Tian, would he still love him?

These worries were unnecessary and yet Zi Tian was sweating bullets.

Zi Yang opened his eyes again and said “Tian’er.” Zi Tian calmed himself and said respectfully, “Father, I hope you are well.” Zi Yang opened his mouth and closed it before looking at Zi Tian with pursed lips.

Zi Tian got nervous again, but Zi Yang suddenly chuckled, saying “Damn brat, I’m in a wheelchair. How well could I possibly be?” Zi Tian let the rock in his heart drop and relaxed, feeling much better. He got serious and said “Father, perhaps I have a way to cure you.”

Zi Yang’s mouth gaped a bit before he said “You?” Zi Tian nodded solemnly and Zi Yang chuckled, shaking his head. Before he could say anything, Zi Tian took his pulse.

Not that Zi Yang could fight back, he was an old crippled fool.

Zi Tian’s expression turned grave and Zi Yang just let him do whatever. If his own son killed him, that would be an inevitable fate. He harrumphed in his mind ‘Hmph, I’ll just be an old fool. No sweat off my back!’

Zi Tian had no idea of his father’s immature thoughts and the tantrum he was throwing inside his mind, he just looked deadly serious and extremely angry. He said in an ice-cold voice “Father, who did this to you.”

Zi Yang narrowed his eyes and the entire room turned into an ice-cellar. Zi Tian felt a cold sweat on his back but he kept a serious expression.

Suddenly, everything returned to normal and Zi Yang said “You don’t need to worry about this, Tian’er.” Zi Tian looked into Zi Yang’s eyes without saying a word.

They were silent for a few moments before Zi Tian said slowly “I might be able to cure you.”

Zi Yang’s heart jumped but he remained calm on the surface as he said “Oh?” Zi Tian looked serious and continued “But…” before sighing and adding regretfully “Your legs are a completely different problem.”

Zi Yang smiled and said “Tian’er, don’t worry too much. I might look useless, but I’ll be just fine. I only want you to live a peaceful life.” Zi Tian opened his mouth to say something with complicated emotions in his eyes, Zi Yang patted his shoulders and smiled saying “That’s enough, I’m tired. Do you need money?”

Zi Tian almost teared up, his father was going through unimaginable pain everyday without a hope of recovery and yet he worried about his son first.

Song Tian was an orphan in his previous life and never felt familiar affection, Zi Tian was grateful that he had a father like this.

Zi Yang stuffed a bag of money into Zi Tian’s hand and chased him away with a smile.

Zi Tian left the study and clenched the bag of taels with a firm and determined expression on his face as he vowed internally ‘Don’t worry, father! I will never let you suffer in this life and I will surely find a way to completely cure you!’

His expression turned murderous as he added ‘Huang Clan, you plotted my death in my last life, this is the beginning of your extermination! As for whoever did this to my father… Hmph!’

His face was pure ice as he left the vicinity and disappeared.

Back in the study

Zi Yang let out a breath and said to himself in shock “Fuck! That was so scary! That brat is definitely a reincarnator! He even spooked me! What a lad!” Then he turned thoughtful as he muttered “But his soul is the same as Tian’er…”

He punched his palm with an expression of enlightenment as he exclaimed “He must’ve got the memories and experience of some old monster but stayed the same Tian’er! Haha! What a blessing!”

With that happy conclusion, Zi Yang rolled to the window and hummed to himself, thinking about his son’s bright future. He still loved the boy, even with the new memories, after all, it was his flesh and blood, plus his soul merged perfectly with his body, this was not something a takeover soul could do.

Little did Zi Yang know, he was extremely close to the truth. He would never find out the truth and always believed in his conclusion, thus he was blissfully unaware of the changes in Zi Tian, allowing the father and son to maintain their loving bond.
