My Life, Brilliant Through Battle, Limitlessly Bright Because of You

Luo Feng returned to the Original Universe, to the Yinhe Holy Land. He was about to embark on the final battle. Through Moluosa, he knew the deadline, and time was running out. At this moment, he had no other thoughts but to see his loved ones. “Whoosh!” Luo Feng landed on a corridor paved with bluestone. Ahead was a simple courtyard, and a slender woman in white stood outside its gate. Seeing her, Luo Feng smiled. This was his wife, Xu Xin! A wife who always silently supported him, without complaint or regret. She didn't demand anything from him, didn't force him to give her more time. Was it not love? But when he was about to perish with the Devouring Beast, when everyone thought he was dead, and Xu Xin also believed him dead, after giving birth to their child, she chose to die with him. Love was not a restraint. Instead, it was silent care and support. “Feng,” Xu Xin smiled, her smile like a crescent moon in the night sky, bringing peace to Luo Feng's heart. His wife was the harbor of his heart. Luo Feng reached out and took his wife's hand: “Let's go see Mom and Dad.” “Mm.” Xu Xin didn't ask further. She had been waiting at the gate. This courtyard was where his parents lived. Entering the courtyard. He soon saw Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan sitting and chatting. Even after countless eras, their appearances remained unchanged. “Ah Feng.” Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan both stood up. “Dad, Mom,” Luo Feng called out. Seeing his parents, it felt as if he was back in the Earth Base City era, a diligent student at the Martial Arts Hall. Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan exchanged glances, sensing Luo Feng's unusual demeanor. The current Luo Feng stood at the pinnacle of billions of races, looking down upon all beings. Usually, when with his parents, he was composed, but now he seemed a little flustered, like a child clinging to his parents. This was too abnormal. They realized this but said nothing more. “Come, sit. Xu Xin, you too.” Gong Xinlan took her son's hand and led him to sit down. Xu Xin also sat beside Luo Feng. … Luo Feng chatted with his parents and wife, just like ordinary people. Soon, his two sons, Luo Ping and Luo Hai, arrived, and his younger brother, Luo Hua, also came. The whole family gathered, talking and laughing. But they had all lived for a long time, and each sensed Luo Feng's unusual state. It seemed normal, but precisely because it was too normal, it was abnormal. Because what time was it now? It was the eve of the Beast Calamity, and Luo Feng had always shouldered the responsibility. Why would he be here, chatting and laughing with his family? But none of them spoke of it. They talked for a long time. More often, Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai spoke more. “It's about time,” Luo Feng suddenly said. Everyone fell silent. Luo Feng looked at them, his father and mother who had always cared for him no matter how powerful he became, his younger brother who grew up with him! And his two sons who regarded him as an idol… and his wife, who had supported him every step of the way. “You must have realized it,” Luo Feng nodded. “Indeed, something big is happening. I've been hiding it from you, but not this time.” He hadn't told his family about the slaughter in the Beast Lair, the battles with the 900,000 Beasts, and so on. Although his family knew about the 'Beast Calamity,' they didn't know the details. But this time… if he failed, all races, everything, would be annihilated, including himself! So there was no need to hide it anymore. “What's wrong, Brother?” Luo Hua asked anxiously. “Father.” “Father.” Luo Ping and Luo Hai also looked at Luo Feng anxiously. His parents and wife also looked at Luo Feng with worry. “The Beast Calamity has reached its final moment,” Luo Feng said. “This battle will have only two outcomes. One is my victory, and then humanity and all other races will be safe. The other outcome is… my defeat, in which case all races will be annihilated, humanity will perish entirely, the entire Original Universe will be destroyed, and I will also die… no one will survive.” “This is the final battle,” Luo Feng said. His parents, wife, sons, and brother were all stunned. It involved the life and death of billions of races? “I am about to depart,” Luo Feng said softly. “In these final moments, I just wanted to come and see Mom and Dad, to see all of you.” Luo Feng's gaze swept over each of his dearest relatives. These were his closest kin! “Ah Feng.” Luo Hongguo reached out and placed a hand on his son's shoulder, embracing him, but he smiled. “Actually, your dad is very proud and content. I remember when I was young, the apocalypse arrived, and I struggled to survive in it, walking on the edge of life and death countless times. Finally, I was lucky enough to enter a Base City to survive, and then you and Ah Hua were born.” Gong Xinlan also embraced her son. “Your mom and I are very proud. We never imagined we could roam the vast cosmos! We never imagined we could experience one virtual game after another, just like real life. Others only live one lifetime, but your mom and I have lived countless lifetimes.” “Our lives have been wonderful.” “Because of you!” Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan both looked at their son. “Don't carry any burdens. Our ancient Huaxia saying is 'a hundred years of life,' but we have lived countless hundreds of years. Even if we two old folks die, we will die with smiles.” Luo Hongguo laughed. “Go, don't burden yourself with anything, fight with all your might. Victory means endless glory. Defeat, and Mom and Dad will sleep with you.” Luo Feng's eyes welled up. There was no pain, only endless happiness. Luo Feng looked at his relatives, who were looking at him without any fear or worry. “Actually, I'm very selfish,” Luo Feng said. “I haven't spent much time with Xu Xin, with my sons, with Mom and Dad… I've spent more time adventuring, exploring, and fighting in the cosmos. Although I did it for the survival of the Earth lineage, in fact, I've long grown accustomed to a life of adventure and battle.” “I love to explore, to see all the mysteries of the cosmos.” “I love to fight, dancing between life and death makes my blood boil.” “If all this were gone, if my life became monotonous, I would only find it bland as water.” Luo Feng shook his head. “Although a peaceful life is a blessing, I've grown used to battle, used to this life.” Luo Feng looked at each of his relatives: “My life, brilliant because of battle! Without battle, it would be bland.” “But you,” Luo Feng looked at his parents embracing him, his wife holding his hand, and his sons and brother beside him, “are the most important treasures in my life! The most important things I guard in my heart, more important than my own life. Without you, this world would be plunged into darkness.” Yes, family was the most important, surpassing his own life, something he must protect with all his might! Without his family, he would be forever trapped in darkness, wishing for death. “My life, brilliant and colorful because of battle. Limitlessly bright because of you!” Luo Feng looked at his relatives. Luo Feng released his parents, stood up: “I must go.” … The final battle, a battle concerning the life and death of billions of races, Luo Feng naturally wouldn't conceal. All True Gods of all races were aware. In the Yinhe Holy Land, on the plaza in front of Luo Feng's palace, True Gods and a large number of Cosmic Overlords from various races had already gathered. Luo Feng walked out with his family, and all races looked over. “Yinhe Lord.” “Yinhe, everything rests on you.” “Yinhe…” All races understood that the true end was near. Luo Feng walked past, past countless True Gods, seeing his teachers Chaos City Lord, Zuoshanke, Zhenyan, and also his friends and brothers Hong, Lei Shen, Rongjun, Wuka, and Huyan Bo, Babata, and some powerhouses from the Earth lineage, even his brother Wei Wen had come, and powerhouses from the Youhai lineage (a lineage formed by many races Luo Feng created), and his disciples. “Teacher.” “Ah Feng.” “Yinhe.” “Luo Feng.” They called out various titles. Luo Feng lingered longest before his three teachers. Chaos City Lord nodded: “You have never disappointed me.” Zuoshanke smiled: “I spent countless efforts cultivating you, and you are even more outstanding than I expected… But you haven't done what I asked you to do yet. You have no right to fall before the Beasts. This time, you must win.” Zhenyan gently patted Luo Feng's shoulder: “You are my most excellent disciple, always.” … Luo Feng walked to the very front, turned, and looked at the countless powerhouses gathered on the palace plaza. There were True Gods from the Monster Race and Insectoid Race who had once fought him, there were vassal races who obeyed his command, there were his friends, his loved ones… Everything. At this moment, Luo Feng felt even more strongly what he needed to protect in his heart. “I will not allow anything I protect to be destroyed!” Luo Feng silently vowed. “I will protect it with my life, with everything I have. I will not allow it! Absolutely not allow it to be destroyed!” All powerhouses of all races looked at Luo Feng. Luo Feng also looked at all the powerhouses and smiled: “I will return!” Whoosh! Luo Feng transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distant void. If he could return, it would naturally mean success. If he didn't return, everything would be annihilated into nothingness. The powerhouses of Luo Feng's cycle era would likely only leave traces for the lives of future cycle eras to find in the three absolute lands. … Luo Feng was filled with power, the power of his heart! Because of his family, because of his teachers, because of his friends… all of this, he had to protect! All the beautiful things must absolutely not be destroyed! For this, he was willing to pay any price! “Boom!” A hideous Beast figure pierced through the cosmic membrane and flew into the void, where a silver-armored, silver-winged man stood. “Master,” the Beast Moluosa said respectfully. Luo Feng glanced at Moluosa. The current Moluosa had reached the limit of the Fifth Tier. Normally, crossing the thresholds of the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Tiers would require time to assimilate. But under the influence of the supreme rules, Moluosa had advanced linearly without any hindrance. Now, only one enslaved Beast remained, and only one free Beast remained. “Master, Desert River is continuously advancing towards this location, very quickly. Its teleportation distance is clearly far greater than mine,” the Beast Moluosa said worriedly. “Master, do you have confidence in this battle?” Moluosa itself had no confidence. “This battle… I will win!” Luo Feng said softly. “Definitely.” Though his voice was soft, it was incredibly firm. Because Luo Feng had a reason he had to win. For everything he held dear in his heart! “Let's go!” Luo Feng instantly teleported with Moluosa, disappearing into the void, heading directly towards the Beast Desert River.
