For My Daughter, I Can Take Down the Desolate Heaven Emperor

I once thought the greatest loneliness was the Desolate Heaven Emperor's "standing alone through the ages": silently bearing everything, fading away alone in the endless river of time, with no one left behind.

Then a young man appeared in Stone Village too. He saved all living beings and ushered in a new era, yet through countless cycles of reincarnation, he could never find his daughter. Even after exhausting every mighty power in the world and reversing time and space, all he could see was a wisp of her lingering consciousness. She kept touching his face and crying as I watched her disappear from my world.

At that moment, he chose to hold time still, just so he could spend half a second more with his daughter, using the power he had accumulated over countless eras.

"Dad, why are you always cultivating? Can't you spend more time with Ling'er?"

"Be good, Ling'er. Dad has to cultivate hard so he can protect you properly in the future!"
