All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Outside the Heavenly Palace, in the endless void, Pei Shaoyu stood alone.

His clothes fluttered in the strong wind, and a faint spiritual light surrounded him, blending into the coldness of the void.

He looked up and saw a vast and boundless river of time floating before him.

On the long river, the water glistens, carrying fragments of the past and lingering shadows of the future.

But at the end of the long river, there is no longer the inevitable destruction and darkness of the past life, but a hazy, unknown mist.

Amidst the mist, a faint glimmer of light flickers, concealing infinite possibilities.

Pei Shaoyu's tense face slowly relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

That smile concealed long-suppressed exhaustion, but also the relief and anticipation of surviving a disaster.

He raised his hand and gently brushed across the surface of the river of time, a faint ripple appearing at his fingertips.

He murmured softly, his tone full of relief: "It's a success, it's finally a success... The rewind of the time wheel has ultimately changed the predetermined trajectory, and it hasn't repeated the mistakes of the previous life."

For countless days and nights, he hid in the shadows, carefully plotting and silently protecting Shi Si and Shen Jianxin.

Fearing that a single misstep would plunge them back into the tragedy of their past lives—Mingluo sacrificed himself to become the Dao, Biquan died on the battlefield, and Shisi, despite his best efforts, still could not break free of the shackles, leading to the slaughter of all realms by the Origin Realm, causing immense suffering and annihilation.

And now, the mist at the end of the river of time is the best proof.

That unknown is no longer despair, but a brand new hope, a future with countless possibilities.

"The rest is up to you." Pei Shaoyu gazed in the direction of the mist, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes.

"All time travelers, all those who refuse to be controlled by fate, this brand new future ultimately depends on yourselves to develop, protect, and break all the shackles and fetters."

He didn't linger. A flash of spiritual light appeared around him, and his figure transformed into a blur, quietly disappearing into the void.

He continued to observe secretly and protect silently—he knew that a new future had begun, but the crisis had not completely dissipated.

The traitor within the Heavenly Palace has not yet been eliminated, and the threat from the Origin Realm remains ever-present; he cannot afford to be complacent in the slightest.

Only by secretly protecting and supporting them can this new hope be sustained.

Meanwhile, inside the Netherworld Palace, Shi Si stood quietly in the main hall.

His gaze was fixed on the figure in front of him, his eyes filled with emotion and bewilderment, and even the black longsword he was gripping in his fingers unconsciously loosened a little.

Inside the main hall, a woman dressed in a white battle dress slowly turned around.

She was tall and slender, with an exquisite face and snow-white skin. Her eyes and brows possessed both the gentle grace of a woman and the sharpness and majesty of someone who had been through many battles.

A faint white aura surrounded him, containing immense fighting spirit and protective power.

Although not as domineering as Emperor Mingluo, she possessed an aura that was not to be trifled with—she was Emperor Mingluo's wife, Shi Si's mother, the guardian war goddess of the Heavenly Palace, Bi Quan.

Unlike her past life memories, where she was covered in wounds from a bloody battle, Bi Quan now had exquisite makeup and neat clothes.

There was no trace of hostility about him, only a sense of clarity and serenity that came with experience of life's vicissitudes.

Yet deep within those eyes lay a sharpness no less than that of any emperor—the aura of a war god tempered by countless battles and bloodshed on the battlefield.

"Mother..." Shi Si's voice trembled slightly.

My throat felt like it was blocked by something; a thousand words could only be uttered into this one.

In his past life, he failed to protect his mother, watching helplessly as she, with her seventh-level Breakthrough Realm cultivation, fought alone against eight ninth-level Origin Realm Breakthrough Realm cultivators, ultimately dying from exhaustion.

That regret and pain, like a brand, is etched into his heart and has never faded.

Bi Quan looked at the boy in front of her, her eyes filled with love and tenderness.

She slowly stepped forward, gently raised her hand, and stroked Shi Si's cheek. The warmth and familiarity of her fingertips instantly dispelled the coldness and unease in Shi Si's heart.

"My son, you've finally grown up." Her voice was gentle, with a slight sob in it.

"From the moment you awakened your divine veins, from the moment you fought bloody battles on Earth, your mother knew that you were no longer the child who needed our constant protection."

Emperor Mingluo sat in the main seat, his eyes filled with tenderness as he watched the mother and son reunite.

His originally solemn expression gradually softened.

He raised his hand and waved it gently, dispelling the barrier in the main hall. He then slowly spoke: "Bi Quan, I have told Shi Si everything—Gou Chen and Hou Tu are colluding with the Origin Realm, and there are undercurrents in the Heavenly Palace."

"I had Shi Si conceal his ninth-tier strength within the realm, secretly accumulating power, gathering evidence, waiting for the right opportunity to eliminate the traitor and break the shackles of the Origin Realm."

Bi Quan slowly withdrew her hand, looking at Emperor Mingluo with no surprise in her eyes, as if she had known all along.

She nodded slightly, then looked at Shi Si again, her expression calm.

Without uttering a single word of support or a single admonition against it, she simply patted Shi Si's shoulder gently, her voice soft yet firm: "Shi Si, I know the obsession in your heart, I know you want to change your destiny from your past life, you want to protect us, and you want to protect all the heavens and myriad realms."

"But all I want to tell you is to be yourself and not live such a tiring life." Bi Quan's gaze became even more profound, carrying a kind of clarity that comes from having experienced life and death.

"A true strong person is never influenced by schemes, nor bound by conspiracies and tricks."

"The path to becoming a strong person is never smooth sailing. What accompanies them is never scheming and deceit, but a throne forged with blood and bones, and a rebirth after a bloody battle."

Shi Si stared blankly at his mother, his heart suddenly jolted.

His mother's words were like a wake-up call, instantly enlightening him.

During this period, he was immersed in the tension and pressure of hiding his strength and making plans in secret, proceeding cautiously and step by step.

He was terrified that if he made a mistake, he would be exposed, he would disappoint his father and mother, and he might even repeat the mistakes of his previous life.

But his mother's words made him realize in an instant—he wanted to become a strong person, wanted to break the shackles of the Origin Realm, and wanted to protect the people around him, and he never relied on hiding or scheming.

It is not about physical strength, but about courage to fight and determination to never give up.

Concealing one's strength is merely a temporary measure. True strength lies in daring to face all crises and challenges head-on, in climbing step by step through blood and bones to forge one's own legend.

In a daze, his thoughts seemed to return to his previous life, to that ultimate battle that terrified all worlds.

At that time, the Origin Realm army launched a massive invasion, broke through the Heavenly Palace's defenses, and slaughtered countless beings across the myriad realms.

Countless lives were lost, immortals and Buddhas perished, and the Heavenly Palace was on the verge of destruction.

The two emperors, Gouchen and Houtu, betrayed the Heavenly Palace, secretly colluding with the Origin Realm and leaking the Heavenly Palace's secrets, causing the Heavenly Palace army to suffer repeated defeats and fall into a desperate situation.

At that moment, his mother, Bi Quan, the Goddess of War and Guardian of the Heavenly Palace, stepped forward.

At that time, she was only at the seventh level of the Breakthrough Realm, yet she faced the siege of eight ninth-level Breakthrough Realm cultivators from the Origin Realm without flinching or showing any fear.

Her white battle dress was stained with blood, and the white longsword in her hand had slain countless cultivators from the Origin Realm. Wherever the sword light passed, corpses littered the ground and blood flowed like rivers.

He clearly remembered that his mother was surrounded by a white aura that was as dazzling as the blazing sun, and her fighting spirit was overwhelming.

Even when severely injured and exhausted of spiritual energy, he still did not stop wielding his longsword.

She single-handedly fought eight ninth-level Transcendent Realm experts, relying on her superb combat skills and indomitable will to kill four and seriously injure three others.

The remaining person was so frightened that he fled in a panic.

In that battle, the mighty name of the God of War, Biquan, resounded throughout the myriad realms, striking fear into the hearts of cultivators in the Origin Realm and moving all living beings in the myriad realms.

But that great battle was ultimately too brutal, and the Heavenly Palace army suffered heavy losses.

To protect the Wheel of Time and Space, to leave Shi Si with a last hope, and to leave a glimmer of life for all the heavens and myriad realms, the Underworld Emperor resolutely sacrificed himself to become the Dao.

He merged his soul and power entirely into the Netherworld Reincarnation, transforming it into a protective barrier that blocked the further invasion of the Origin Realm army.

As for her mother, Bi Quan, she was already at her last gasp after killing four ninth-level cultivators from the Origin Realm.

He was eventually besieged by the remaining cultivators from the Origin Realm and died from exhaustion.

Even on her deathbed, she still gripped the long sword tightly in her hand, her gaze fixed on Shi Si's direction, her eyes filled with concern and expectation.

He urged him to live well, to break free from the shackles of the Origin Realm, and to protect this world.

Scenes from his past life, like those in a movie, vividly appeared in Shi Si's mind.

Every detail is etched in my memory, every pain is etched into my very bones.

His eyes involuntarily reddened, and a tear silently slid down, dripping onto his clothes and spreading out a wet patch.

"Mother..." Shi Si's voice was choked with sobs.

"In my past life, I failed to protect you, failed to protect my father, failed to protect all the heavens and the myriad worlds, causing you to sacrifice yourselves in vain and causing the slaughter of all living beings. I am sorry for you."

Bi Quan felt a pang of heartache seeing his tear-streaked face.

She gently raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Shi Si's face, her voice gentle yet firm: "Silly child, let bygones be bygones, it wasn't your fault."

"Your destiny from your past life was already set. You have done very well. You have given your all to protect us and this world."

Even if you ultimately fail, you never back down or give up.

"In this life, the wheel of time has turned back, and there is still room for everything to be undone. You no longer need to be bound by the regrets of your past life."

Bi Quan's gaze sharpened, carrying the majesty of a war god.

"Mother doesn't need you to deliberately hide yourself, doesn't need you to be cautious in everything you do, and doesn't need you to be troubled by conspiracies and tricks."

"You just need to be yourself, stay true to your original aspirations, and continuously improve your own strength. In the midst of blood and war, hone yourself and forge your own path to becoming a strongman."

"No matter what difficulties we encounter, no matter what enemies we face, your mother will always stand by your side and fight alongside you."

Bi Quan raised her hand and grasped Shi Si's hand. Her palm was warm and strong, conveying a firm strength.

"You are our hope, the hope of all the heavens and the world. You only need to move forward bravely, without fear or fatigue."

"Mother believes in you. You will definitely break the shackles of the Origin Realm, you will definitely change your destiny from your past life, and you will definitely forge your own legend."

The Underworld Emperor looked at the mother and son, his eyes filled with satisfaction and pride.

He knew that Bi Quan's words were more powerful than all his admonitions.

She used her own experiences and insights to enlighten Shi Si, making him truly understand the meaning of being strong and the true essence of growth.

Shi Si held his mother's hand tightly, feeling the warmth and strength in it.

The regret and pain in my heart were gradually replaced by determination and courage.

He slowly raised his head, the tears in his eyes long gone, replaced by a sharp and resolute look.

That was an awakening after experiencing life and death, and a steadfast commitment after bearing a mission.

"Mother, I understand." Shi Si's voice was firm and powerful, echoing throughout the entire Netherworld Palace.

"I will no longer be bound by the regrets of my past life, I will no longer deliberately suppress myself, and I will no longer be troubled by conspiracies and schemes."

"I will do my best, stay true to my original aspirations, and continuously improve my own strength. I will hone myself amidst bloodshed and war, and forge my own path to becoming a strongman."

"I will purge the traitors from the Heavenly Palace, break the shackles of the Origin Realm, protect you and Father, and protect the Earth."

"I will never let you suffer any more harm, and I will never let the tragedy of the past repeat itself."

He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, and a fierce fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

"I will make all my enemies pay the price they deserve, and I will make all the heavens and the myriad worlds remember my name."

"Remember me, Shi Si, son of Mingluo, son of the God of War Biquan, a powerful being capable of breaking all shackles and protecting this world!"

Looking at his determined expression, Bi Quan's eyes were filled with relief, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

"Good, as expected of my son Bi Quan, as expected of the offspring of the Heavenly Palace Guardian God of War."

"Your mother believes in you, you can definitely do it."
