Between Yang You and Yang Xueqing, it was no longer important who was his mother. Perhaps they were originally the same person, but because one-third of their primordial spirit had been reincarnated, their bodies had lost their memories.
Long Chen originally felt that Yang You was very close, but he didn't expect them to be this close. Now, he couldn't call her Aunt You anymore. Logically speaking, he should call her mother, but he could see that Yang You had some psychological barriers in this regard.
She hurriedly said, "Long Chen, just call me Aunt You … I-I don't think I deserve to be called mother. Although I made you who you are, I didn't do anything for you, nor did I take care of you."
This matter made her feel deeply guilty, but this was Long Qinglan's order. He didn't allow her to get close to Long Chen's growth. She believed that Long Chen could only become a true powerhouse that way.
Long Chen seriously thought for a while and said, "The title isn't important. What's important is that from today onwards, I will treat you as one of the most important people in my life. This is enough. I never thought that my mother would be so complicated. Now, Yang Xueqing is basically a new life, right?"
Yang You nodded and said, "Yes, she was an ordinary mortal in Dragon Sacrificial Continent, but she really gave birth to you."
Long Chen remembered that Long Qinglan had once told him that everything in Baiyang Town was a dream. It seemed that Long Qinglan didn't acknowledge Yang Xueqing at all. He only acknowledged Yang You and thought that Yang You was his mother. He probably wanted him to treat Yang You better in the future. As for Yang Xueqing, she was just an accident born by chance, a reincarnated body that had lost her memories and couldn't be controlled.
Long Chen didn't plan to disturb Yang Xueqing's life. Now that she was finally released, she was very happy. Many years later, she would enjoy her old age in peace.
Facing Yang You, Long Chen understood her. She was a person with deep feelings but couldn't express them in words. She was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She loved Long Qinglan dearly, but she couldn't bear the fact that he didn't love her. Even so, she still did some things for him that she could.
No matter what, he had to protect this woman for his father in the future. She was his real mother. She just didn't use her body to carry Long Chen.
However, there was one thing he didn't understand. He asked, "Aunt You, you said that my father created me to be reborn."
Yang You nodded and said, "You're right. Of course, he didn't want to have a child. Instead, he wanted to use his own inheritance to give birth to a descendant. Then, he would use his remnant soul and the newly born soul to achieve a true rebirth, not a reincarnation controlled by the remnant soul. The whole process was very successful. You shouldn't have come to this world. At that time, he only wanted revenge. No one could understand his depression, and he was even a little crazy …"
"But what exactly happened after that?"
Yang You looked at Long Chen with her slightly red eyes. She bit her lips and said, "An accident happened that he didn't expect. After you were born, he was about to invade your body. However, when he heard your cries after you were born, he saw your young appearance, your eyes, your gaze … In the end, he cried very miserably. He realized that he couldn't do it. Once he did it, it meant that your new life would disappear from this world … Only then did he realize that you were his son, and not his rebirth."
She seemed to recall the scene at that time. She looked at the sky and said, "Your father was a good person all his life. He never did anything evil. His heart was extremely kind. Although he was a little extreme, a little hateful, and a little anxious, he couldn't hide the humanity and kindness in his heart. That was why he was originally full of confidence. However, after you were born, he suddenly chose to let you live, and let the last remnant of his soul die."
Long Chen was in a state of deep shock.
It turned out that he wouldn't have come to this world in the first place. He wasn't part of Long Qinglan's plan.
However, he gave up his life, gave up his revenge, and went to explore everything again. He gave his life to himself, and chose death.
"From then on, he stayed in Baiyang Town as a father until the day you buried him. He also ordered me not to go near the Dragon Sacrificial Continent and to return to Celestial Dragon Planet. He told me to wait for the day you came to the Eternal God Domain. Then, two years ago, you really came. At that time, I didn't understand why he spent so much effort but didn't choose to be reborn. After seeing you, I finally understood. That's right, you are his son, not himself."
Perhaps she was filled with deep regret towards Long Chen, so she didn't dare to call herself a mother and speak to him in the role of a mother.
However, in Long Chen's heart, she already was.
Long Chen finally knew about this part of the story. His mind was a little chaotic. After sorting it out and clearing his mind, he asked again, "Other than this part of the story, don't you know anything about my father's enemy, his encounter, and the person who killed him?"
Yang You shook her head and said, "I only hid this from you. Because when he came to find me again, he had also forgotten about these things. I have no way of knowing either. Moreover, at that time, there was no way for him to communicate at all … However, he still has an explanation."
"An explanation."
Long Chen asked doubtfully.
"Mm, it seems like it's about time to tell you now."
Yang You wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. Her gaze towards Long Chen was still calm and serene. Seeing him happy and strong, she didn't know how excited she was in her heart.
Now, the matter of the Black Hell Emperor and the Twin Devils had been resolved. The Black Hell Emperor didn't know much. What he said basically came from his faint perception and random guesses. As for the matter of the Devil Star, it was temporarily resolved. He just didn't know if there would be new disputes.
Originally, Long Chen was very worried that the Sky Dragon Star was now close to the Devil Star. Once the Devil Star changed, would the Sky Dragon Star be in trouble? However, he was more at ease now. Yang You was the only inheritor of the Supreme Divine Dragon. Long Qinglan had given her the inheritance and essence blood. Her battle strength was extremely strong. At least for a long time, she would be stronger than him.
With her guarding, he was also very relieved.
He looked at this woman, who could already be compared to Lingxi and Li Xuanji, and waited for her to tell Long Chen his father's final explanation.
"Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon and Void Eon Dragon, I really didn't know that your father actually had these two legendary inheritance and essence blood. Back then, I only guessed that he had fused with the inheritance and essence blood of the Void Eon Dragon. As for the inheritance and essence blood of the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon, I only knew about it because of the hint from the God of Taishi. These are the pinnacle of the entire Draconic Sacrificial Continent. Even if the top gods still exist, they would probably fight to the death for them. Don't tell too many people about this. Once it's leaked, the experts of the entire world will definitely come to deal with you."
Long Chen nodded. Of course, he knew how precious these three things were. They were the biggest gifts that Long Qinglan had left for him, especially the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon and the Void Eon Dragon. Although the origin of the inheritance and essence blood of the Tai Chi Lifeform Dragon was mysterious, the God of Taishi definitely had a deep relationship with Long Qinglan.
At this time, Yang You began to tell him about Long Qinglan's instructions.
She said softly, "Actually, he told me that he knows the location of the last drop of Ancestral Dragon inheritance."
In that instant, Long Chen's eyes widened.
He had originally thought that it was already heaven-defying to be able to possess three types of Ancestral Dragon inheritance blood in his lifetime. Apart from him, there weren't many people who knew about the existence of these things. He was so lucky. But now, there was actually news about the fourth Ancestral Dragon inheritance blood.
He held his breath and couldn't help but ask, "Now that I have Slaughter, Time, and Life, what is this fourth Ancestral Dragon? Fate, or Devour?"
Although it was rumored that there were ten great Ancestral Dragons, in the current Dragon God Domain, people could only find out about five of them. The five great dragon cities were built for the sake of the five Ancestral Dragons. As for the other five Ancestral Dragons, not many people knew whether they existed or not. Of course, as for what their attributes were, that was even more unknown.
Therefore, Long Chen was very much looking forward to it.
Yang You shook her head and said, "It's not Fate, nor is it Devour. It's called Karma."
"Karma."
This unfamiliar term made Long Chen a little confused.
"Good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil. Is Karma retribution?"
Long Chen asked thoughtfully.
Yang You said, "That's not entirely the case. Karma is the Dragon of Morality and Karma. For example, the Primordial Spiritual Blood Dragon controls all slaughter in the world. The Cosmic Dragon controls time, traversing the long river of history, and is the controller of time in this world. For example, the Primordial Spiritual Blood Dragon controls life and creation, creating the world and creating life. However, the Dragon of Morality and Karma is more illusory. Morality and Karma are things that can't be seen or touched, but everything in the world, every living being, even non-living beings, are within the rules of Morality and Karma.
For example, for us humans, the rules of Karma bind us for life. As you said, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be repaid with evil. Morality is the difference between good and evil. Therefore, the Dragon of Morality and Karma is also known as the 'Dragon of Punishment'. In the Era of the Ancient Gods, it was he alone who established order, intimidated millions of Mystical Dragons, suppressed evil, and promoted good, bringing peace to the world. The Primordial Spiritual Blood Dragon's slaughter is his own path, and he does as he likes. However, the Dragon of Morality and Karma is to uphold justice. He is the Heavenly Tribulation of the Era of Mystical Dragons, the true Ancestral Dragon that manages millions of Mystical Dragons. His name is the Divine Dao Refining Dragon. "
