journey to become the strongest god Season 2

BOOOOOMMM…. BOOOOOMMM….

“Has it finally come?” A middle-aged man standing at the very front of a city wall gazed up at the sky, which had remained unchanged for ten years.

The night sky, filled with a terrifying aura, had truly never changed; in fact, it grew more terrifying with each passing day, striking fear into every living creature in the world. And now, exactly ten years after the emergence of that terrifying darkness, everyone realized that this was the end of the world—and of them all.

“Honey…” A woman’s gaze looked so sorrowful; she felt deeply regretful for having done something terrible to one of her children. Perhaps this would leave a deep wound on her child, but what could she do? She, her husband, and everyone else knew that only she could be their hope.

“Don’t worry, he’ll be just fine without us. I’m sure of it…!” said the husband, trying to calm his wife, though he was really trying to calm everyone else. His heart ached deeply too; tears trickled down his face, which looked a little older than before.

Behind them, the rest of the family could only stare at the sky with hatred. All this time they had been cast aside, but just as they were about to gain their freedom, the sky instead sentenced every living creature in this world to death for no clear reason.

That is why, with a strong resolve in their hearts—their hope and their vengeance against the sky’s cruelty—they all agreed to send just one person out of this world by sacrificing their strongest expert, after the sky tried to prevent the realm above from communicating with them below.

“You may be able to kill us, but you won’t be able to stop our resolve! Our vengeance, our disappointment, and our helplessness will be avenged by my son someday. So, heavens, wait! Wait for my son Xiao Long to take his revenge on you, and at that moment, feel the same pain we feel right now. Hahahahaha!”

Xiao Long’s laughter shook the heavens, causing an earthquake in that world. But all living creatures who heard Xiao Long’s voice were not afraid, not intimidated; they too smiled as if witnessing the ill fate of the so-called heaven. They cursed the very name of heaven to vanish from the entire universe; they cursed Heaven’s merciless cruelty toward them.

They cursed Heaven’s will for having taken everything good from them all—life, birth, joy, sorrow, and death. They cursed Heaven’s will, for in their world, their fate would be more horrific than that of the creatures called humans, monsters, beasts, or sea people.

“Sister….” A woman gazed at a beautiful woman who had not covered her face with a veil for the past ten years. The woman’s smile was exquisite; though the sky had grown dark, the girl could be certain that the woman beside her would become the sun in their world.

“It’s okay. Haven’t we already given him everything we could? Be assured—even if we leave him now, someday he’ll understand that it was all for him and this world!”

“Our eldest sister is right… though I don’t know how many women he’ll end up with. But let’s pray he doesn’t forget us!”

“No! Brother Xiao won’t forget us; in fact, he… he…”

Everyone looked at the woman who was gentler and better understood the situation of the man they called their husband. The two other beautiful women by her side patted her on the shoulder, comforting her and assuring her that the young man to whom they had given their hearts would never forget them.

Even if they all died, turned to dust, or didn’t even reincarnate, the young man would continue to remember them for the rest of his life; even if a new woman entered his life, she would never hold a place in his heart as deep as theirs.

SWISSHHH…

“Son, you….” Xiao Long, startled by the appearance of a young man covered in wounds, was shocked and immediately helped him to his feet. The young man smiled sadly at his worried parents, but he also felt his heart breaking.

“I’m sorry, Dad, Mom, I really couldn’t stop any of this. I thought that after regaining my past memories, I might be able to stop this problem, but it turns out they don’t care and consider our world a pest! This might be because of me…” said Xiao Tianhai, who, it turned out, had a past story and originally came from the realm of the gods. It was just that she died due to something that caused her to be reincarnated as Xiao Long’s daughter, the younger sister of Xiao Chen.

At first, she desperately wanted to save her family by apologizing to Heaven and asking for a solution to the world’s problems. But Heaven’s response enraged her so much that she fought against Heaven’s will, ending with her being injured and Heaven’s will retreating due to the damage it sustained.

Although they managed to force the will of heaven to retreat, that was not the end of it all; she was certain that soon the will of heaven, accompanied by the will of the heavens, would return to destroy them all.

Looking at her parents, older brother, and sisters-in-law, Xiao Tianhai could not bear the piercing pain in her heart. If this is the case, why was he even born? Then what was the point of having memories of his first life if he couldn’t help his own family? What was the point of the power he currently possessed if he couldn’t protect their smiles? This piercing pain was truly far more agonizing than when he was stabbed by thousands of swords on the battlefield.

“Brother, sisters-in-law, father, mother, and everyone… I’m sorry, I’m sorry I couldn’t save our world! I’m sorry I couldn’t… sniff… sniff…” Xiao Tianhai’s heart ached; he couldn’t hide his tears, even though he was once known as the emotionless god. In front of his entire family, he wept as he knelt before everyone, who looked at him with sorrow.

“Son, get up! None of us blame you; in fact, we’re proud of you, son. You were able to defy the will of heaven, even though none of us could do it—and you made time to send your older brother out of this world. Among all of us, you’re the one who’s worked harder than any of us!”

Xiao Tianhai’s mother helped her son to his feet and then hugged him with her reddened eyes. Although she smiled on the outside, she also felt sad about the situation of Xiao Tianhai and her children. As a mother, she had wanted to see her three children grow up and become figures feared throughout the entire universe, but none of that was possible now.
