The god gritted his teeth as he went towards the Heavenly Grand Treasure and tried to forcibly take it.
He wanted to take it before the other gods from above could fully descend into this world. If that happened, it would be much harder for him to take the treasure with the added competition.
"Submit to me!" the god said as stretched his hand towards the treasure, only for his hand to be bounced off by the pillar of light.
He got the same result as when he tried to take the treasure earlier.
"I don't believe I can't take you!" he punched the pillar of light with all his strength, only for his attack to come back to him, blowing him away.
However, he had already expected that to happen. Instead of being blown away, he maintained his balance and only skidded backward for a few meters. He went back to the treasure once again and launched a barrage of punches to the pillar of light, making it flicker a few times while trying not to be blown away when his attacks got returned to him.
In the end, his efforts didn't yield any result.
"Damn it!" he cursed, angry at the fact that he was so close to the treasure yet there was nothing he could do to take it.
While the god was busy trying to take the treasure, Yun Ling looked at the sky with narrowed eyes.
Each of the asteroids above, falling at them with unprecedented speed, was bigger than most of the mountains in the Thousand Mountain Valley.
Though, he believed that the Sacred Kings and the others could destroy those asteroids without too much problem, what he was worried about was the debris that would fall all over the place when they dealt with those asteroids.
The stronger cultivators would surely survive but for the weaker cultivators who were brought into the Thousand Mountain Valley...
They would be seriously injured or perhaps die if they weren't careful.
It was then that Yun Ling noticed.
The ring that Yue Dongmei gave him was glowing brighter than he had seen it glow before. The ring that he had with him was connected to the life force of his daughter's mother. It would only glow when Yun Xia's mother was near the ring.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
The fact that it was glowing extremely bright right now could only mean one thing...
He turned towards the only woman among them who was wearing a veiled hat that was covering her face. For some reason, he had a feeling that he had seen this woman before.
Thinking about it, it made sense. After all, if the ring was glowing with her around, this woman was definitely...
"You..." he called out with narrowed eyes, earning the woman's attention who was looking at the asteroids in the sky. "Are you Yun Xia's mother?"
The woman snapped her neck towards the father of her daughter.
Snow Fang looked at him.
"Young Master, is she the one?"
"There's a big chance she is," Yun Ling answered his question.
'Yun Xia?' was what the woman thought at first before a frown appeared on her face. 'Wait. How did he know? Did he remember what happened between us, perhaps?'
Then, her gaze landed on a familiar ring that Yun Ling showed to her. That was the ring she gave to Yue Dongmei before they parted ways in this world.
After seeing that, she instantly knew how Yun Ling found out.
Yue Dongmei must've given it to him to make it easier for Yun Ling to find her.
"I am Zi Xia's mother," she responded, putting emphasis on her daughter's name.
At the side, the handsome man looked at the woman with a shocked look on his face.
"Mother? She's a mother?" he muttered to himself with wide eyes. "And this guy... who is this guy? What is his relationship with her? Could this guy be...?!"
"So you are indeed, Yun Xia's mother," Yun Ling said with narrowed eyes, also putting emphasis on his daughter's name. "How come I don't remember you? I don't remember sleeping with someone like you at all."
The handsome man's eyes widened considerably when he heard that.
The woman he had been pursuing and dreaming for a long time...
The woman that was renowned as the most beautiful woman in their continent...
She was already a mother! What was worse was that her partner was someone in the lower realm!
He couldn't believe it. Though he had no right, he felt ashamed and betrayed by the woman even if his feelings were one-sided.
The handsome man clenched his fist as his anger bubbled up in him before suddenly calming down.
So what if she already had a child? So what if this guy is her partner?
All he had to do was kill her child and the man in front of him before seizing this woman and making her his, and his only.
Though he loathed used products, she was still the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. There wasn't anyone like her.
That was why he...
He had no choice but to accept it. It wasn't like he could change what happened.
He glared at Yun Ling hatefully. Though he couldn't change the past, he could still do something about it.
This guy would have to die first. Then, he would go after their child next.
Or perhaps, he would kill the child first just to see this guy and the woman despair first before killing the guy and taking the woman his.
He had decided.
That was what he was going to do.
Clueless about what the handsome man was thinking, Yun Ling and the woman looked at each other for a few seconds while Yun Ling waited for her response.
Before the woman could say anything, a loud explosion was heard in the sky.
All of them excluding the god looked up, only to see the closest asteroid being destroyed.
