Yingxin Heaven said, "I am one of the initiators of the Demon Path’s rise, and I cannot shirk my responsibility. I am willing to endure any hardship, even if it ans being shattered to pieces."
Ying Yunyao was startled, recalling her father’s actions after returning, and suddenly felt a sense of understanding.
When Yingxin Heaven’s negotiations with Yun Taizhen were fruitless, and Ying Yunyao followed her father to leave, she suddenly asked, "Dad... is this why you are so wary of the Demon Path? Is that why you didn’t want to accept the Demon Path’s surrender and wanted to eliminate them all back then?"
Yingxin Heaven paused slightly and said, "I did not intend to eliminate all of the Demon Path."
"However... after the Demon Path surrendered, the Righteous Sects pounced like wolves, thinking about dividing up the Demon Path’s assets and planning to recruit and utilize the top talents of the Demon Path."
"Those top talents of the Demon Path were all exceedingly guilty. If they were rashly taken in, they would certainly spread the ideology of the Demon Path, causing chaos among the Righteous Sects."
"I had originally wanted to eliminate these kinds of people before the Great War of Righteous and Demonic ended, but unfortunately... I was unable to do so."
Ying Yunyao asked again, "Dad... it is said that back then, you wanted to find soone nad Qi ngyun to take revenge. Is that true?"
Yingxin Heaven said, "Qi ngyun... I did indeed want to kill her. But the reason I wanted to find her was that I discovered significant problems with her. She... as well as so others from different sects, seed to have been deliberately instigated to serve as a fuse to prematurely trigger the Great War of Righteous and Demonic."
"Unfortunately, since the Great War of Righteous and Demonic began, these people disappeared one after another, and I was unable to find them."
That night, Ying Yunyao talked a lot with her father, resolving many past misunderstandings.
While reflecting on her mother’s current state, at that mont, Ying Yunyao felt she understood Yingxin Heaven, realizing he had been silently battling the Demon Path in his own way.
At this mont, Yingxin Heaven appeared incredibly grand in her eyes.
"Dad," Ying Yunyao said, "I want to help you."
"Dad, let help you."
Yingxin Heaven said, "Yun Taizhen’s faction is vast. If you want to help , you may end up opposing the majority of the Wanfa Sect. Countless people will beco your enemies, and you will be unable to move an inch within the sect."
Reflecting on Yingxin Heaven’s experiences, Ying Yunyao retreated in her heart.
In the days that followed, Ying Yunyao, like before, watched as Yingxin Heaven was isolated, marginalized, and misunderstood...yet he continued to stay true to himself, persisting in his plan to influence the Wanfa Sect.
Unable to hold back, Ying Yunyao finally asked, "Dad... why do you persist? Even if you don’t care about this, no one would say anything against you, right?"
Yingxin Heaven said, "Maintaining the Righteous Path and preventing the world from slipping into the abyss of the Demon Path indeed does not necessarily require to step forward."
"But since I can, and I wish to do it, then I will do it."
"Perhaps this is the arrogance of the strong, wanting to use the world to implent one’s ideals, wanting heaven and earth to operate according to one’s desires, wanting one’s Taoist Inheritance to transcend all. All strong people in this world have this thought to so extent, and I am no exception."
Ying Yunyao asked, "What if you fail?"
Yingxin Heaven said, "Then it will be left to the next generation. As long as there are descendants, as long as people continue to pass the torch from generation to generation, there is hope."
Ying Yunyao said, "Dad, let help you."
This ti, Yingxin Heaven saw the determination in Ying Yunyao’s eyes and said nothing more, only nodded slightly, "Alright."
A mont later, Ying Yunyao suddenly asked, "Father, do I... count as your daughter?"
Yingxin Heaven said flatly, "You are an artificial human. Yun Taizhen did not create you using my bloodline, so from a bloodline perspective, we are not father and daughter."
Just as Ying Yunyao’s expression darkened, Yingxin Heaven suddenly said, "But if you are willing to inherit my ideals, then you are my descendant. Bloodline or not, it doesn’t matter."
In the days that followed, Ying Yunyao continued to support Yingxin Heaven, committed to upholding the Righteous Path.
anwhile, the dream in front of Zhang Yu dissipated, revealing line after line of text, which were the ssages left by Yingxin Heaven.
"In the end, I still couldn’t protect Yunyao completely."
"On her 28th birthday, Yun Taizhen assassinated her to nd a flaw in his Taoist Inheritance."
"I searched far and wide, hoping to find a way to resurrect her."
"Later, in the Sky Demon Sect, I found a Taoist nad Reincarnation, who helped preserve Yunyao’s True Spirit for ."
"Then, in the Far West Land, I encountered the Wild Bull for the first ti, who claid to co from another corner of the world and used his own flesh and blood to retain a trace of vitality for Yunyao."
Seeing these lines of text, Zhang Yu was startled: "Wild Bull? He t the Great Sage Huang Niu? For the first ti? Another corner of the world? ...What does that an?"
Zhang Yu quickly asked the Wild Bull in his mind, but heard the other say, "The mories I possess revolve mainly around the layered Kunxu from that ti; I don’t have a mory of encountering Yingxin Heaven."
anwhile, Yingxin Heaven’s ssage continued.
"Despite exhausting every possible ans, I couldn’t truly revive Yunyao, only managing to communicate with her True Spirit briefly each day."
"I originally intended to free her."
"But she..."
The eyes of the ancestor’s corpse before him slowly opened, and Ying Yunyao looked at Zhang Yu, smiled slightly, and said, "You must be the heir my father chose, right?"
"When our dreams were just connected, I saw so of your mories too."
"You indeed have the qualifications to inherit my father’s ideals."
"Then..."
As she spoke, her mouth slowly opened, and she spat out a beam of blood light.
"My father’s bloodline power, and Yun Taizhen’s bloodline information... it all exists within ."
