Bai Xue, the source of life, and Wang Ling, the giver of life. The two stared at each other's eyes, both captivated. It had been so long since they last met, and the longing and loss for each other welled up in their chests.

"It has been a long time since I last saw you die before my eyes." Bai Xue's words rang in Wang Ling's head, she moved close to him and held his face, "At the time, I was still weak, and incapable of even protecting myself much less the people we cared for.

​​

"You sacrificed yourself and gave me enough time to grow, for your decisiveness, I admired and adored you. For millennia I waited for you, only remembering you and our brief time together. I missed you, Ling… however…"

Bai Xue's eyes changed to striking rage. Bloodlust crept over to Wang Ling while, "You left me… but worst of all, you left our daughter to grow up without a father… I know it might have been out of your control but… this rage cannot simply be appeased. I need it pacified."

Wang Ling opened his arms wide, opening himself to Bai Xue, "Strike me down if you m—"

"Grit your teeth." As she had lived after all this time, Bai Xue did not hesitate to gather her qi to her palms, killing intent meld into her palms, and qi from the seventh generation Deities surfaced, coalescing into her hands glowing… Bai Xue touched Wang Ling's chest,

"Mama! WAIT!" From below, Qinyang saw what Bai Xue was about to do. She called out to her mother but it fell into deaf ears.

"This is for leaving me behind when we could have fought it together." Bai Xue's frustration that lasted for millennia was given to Wang Ling. Frost, Lightning, Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, and so many more kinds of elements exploded on Wang Ling's chest. Chaotic, ever-changing without any proper form, it was a powerful blast that, was felt a second later.

BOOM!

Wang Ling was sent flying tens of thousands of kilometers. Wang Ling did not fight back, he knew he deserved this and just accepted the full blast. His clothing absorbed a majority of the blow yet it was ripped apart all the same. His expression changed and from above he saw Bai Xue with her legs raised emanating dangerous qi of the fifth-generation deities.

"This is for dying and leaving our daughter to grow up without a father." With an even stronger Output, Bai Xue bashed through Wang Ling's defenses and buried his body on the ground for hundreds of meters deep.

A crater that spans for kilometers appeared with magma escaping from the depths. Wang Ling lie on the floor, his body remained untouched, but blue blood flowed out of his mouth. Bai Xue landed beside Wang Ling, lifted him by the collars, "This is for leaving me behind—"

Qinyang arrived hundreds of meters away from her parents. She saw her mother hold her father up by the collars of his robes, the rage, and frustration apparent in her eyes.

"Mama, what would you do if you Papa again?" often, the young Qinyang would ask to her mother when she was but a wee lass.

To which Bai Xue would answer honestly, albeit in a joking tone, "If I meet him again, I'll beat him up to an inch of his life that he'll make a round trip to the Wheel of Reincarnation and back."

"So, you will kill Papa?"

"Maybe, he did make my little girl sad for not being here, after all."

Bai Xue always holds her words. Bai Xue pulled Wang Ling close to her, and Qinyang ran up to them trying to stop them, and then she stopped mid-movement… her eyes widened in fright, that she had to turn away with her mouth wide open.

For Wang Ling, his blood was soon drawn out of his body as his eyes widen in shock.

Bai Xue had inserted her tongue in Wang Ling's mouth, drinking the blood spilt from that attack she gave him. A time when the two of them shared each other's blood after risking their lives for a morsel of the resources they now have. When they first met, Wang Ling fed her his blood and so was when they fought the Frost Dragon.

Their saliva mixed and a string momentarily formed before snapping away. Bai Xue licked her lips, and with a broad, shining smile she looked at Wang Ling's shocked face, "That's my payback for dying on me before we could share another time. Shishishi, you looked surprised, you old bastard. Wait, I can't call you that anymore… I'm older than you now anyway."

"I… a… what?" Wang Ling talked down to everyone she encountered. He was not being arrogant, simply put he just had too much to say. However, right now, he was truly speechless before Bai Xue. Her smile brought back so many memories of her leaving and coming back after stealing resources. Like how she would delight in torture and slaughter.

The All-Father, for the first, was dumbstruck by someone. He had finally met his match after so long, in all sense.

Like she had been before, Bai Xue released a free spirit laugher. Picking up Wang Ling from the ground, she looked him straight in the eyes, "You now possess the strongest power in the Universe yet your interactions with others is still amazingly below average."

"…I have known you to hold grudges, I actually you'd take an arm or two. I was prepared, I was not expecting such an assault." Wang Ling protested while being helped up.

"Shishishi, how laughable, All-Father my ass. Stop acting so surprised, it's not like it is new to you. Though I do not mind this submissive sight of the oh-so-great All-Father. Besides, why would I take an arm, that's such a waste of time, you'll just regrow it anyway, I'm not even that mad at you. I understood the need for your sacrifice."

"…then—"

"I am not mad at you, however, I meant when I said that you deserve the punch and kick for dying leaving our daughter behind." Bai Xue turned to Qinyang's direction whose face turned red from embarrassment seeing what her parent just did, "She deserves a father."

"…I know." Wang Ling stated as he appeared before Qinyang. He got on one knee, and helped her bring down her hands, "I know we already met, I am your incompetent Father who died not knowing I had a child. You may have always known the truth, but… I didn't.

"So, I would like to take this chance and introduce myself." Wang Ling showed her a genuinely soft expression, "My name is Wang Ling… I am your Father."

Qinyang finally saw, what she had dreamt of, the genuine, and not incomplete version. The awakened Wang Ling, the bearer of the Chaos Qi, and she smiled seeing Wang Ling, she nodded and hugged her father, "… I am Qinyang…"

Qinyang wiped her tears with one of her hands, incapable of holding them back as she said the set of words, she had wanted to say for the longest time face to face, "…I'm… your daughter."
