“At that time, my heart was deep in darkness. Each time I saw Haochen, that pain would grow stronger. Therefore I made a nasty decision. I would take you and Haochen back. But my plan was to train him to fight with Devils in future. I thought that he was the son of the God of Devils. Though I liked him for his perseverance and kindness, the pain did not allow me to think calmly. I tried hard to train him to be strong. When I saw him having the attributes of light, I thought for a short time if he was my own son. But we got separated from each other for so many years, I could not see why, if Haochen was my own, why didn’t you bring him back to me? Therefore I continued to suffer from my doubts.”

“I trained Haochen for two years and could not bear the pain any longer. I did not even dare to look at his clear eyes. Therefore I took you back to Yu Longguan. I thought that without Haochen by my side, I would feel better. But I soon realized that the pain stayed the same and even grew stronger. Therefore I chose to run away. I wasn’t in Yu Longguan for many years. I love you but I could not forget it.”

“Then Haochen’s gift was revealed and he did so well in selective trials of the Demon Hunter group and became a hunter. I noticed it and followed his progress in doing different tasks. Sometimes I even helped him secretly. The pain turned to ill will. I thought with Haochen’s light attribute, one day he would become very powerful, so powerful that he could threaten the God of Devils. Then I would let this father and son fight with each other and no matter which one might be killed, my revenge would be done.”

Long Xingyu closed his eyes with great pain, “Haochen, did you know? I was in Modu as well when you entered Xincheng with other Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group’s members, ready to go into the Star Devil Tower. I did not stop you because of my hatred. After sensing that you were trapped and I did not go and save you. It was because I wanted to end everything and just let the God of Devils kill his own son. I did not know that I was actually watching my own son die, like putting the cat near the goldfish bowl. How ironic! I do not deserve you, as your father.”

“You were killed and I felt relieved. I felt that everything that bothered me was gone. Therefore I went back to Yu Longguan instantly and I thought that I could finally be together with Yue without any worries. But when I faced her, your figure constantly appeared on my mind. I did not dare to tell her the news that you were killed by the God of Devils because I did not want her to be devastated. I thought that you deserved a death in a Devil’s land as a hunter. But my pain grew stronger and every night I woke up from the nightmare, your smile and your voice calling me dad lingered on my mind. I started to hate myself for my hatred towards you. What replaced my hatred was endless guilt. No matter how bad the God of Devils was, you were innocent! I let a child, who has been calling me dad and who trusted me so much, be killed. I could not forgive myself and I even let go of the chance of participating in the Big Contest of the Holy Temple. I was very depressed those two years and my practice level did not increase at all. It only stayed at its old level. But what could I do even if I realized my own mistake? What’s done is done. You were dead.”

“Then I suddenly found you leading the Light Dawn Demon Hunter Group and arrived at the Holy City and participated in the Big Contest of the Holy Temple. I had a complex feeling. Should I be happy or sad? But soon I found out that I was relieved. I decided then that no matter whose son you are, you have been calling me dad then you are my own son. I tried my best to forget everything and make up to you, to train you. But soon I got the news that you won first place in the Big Contest of the Holy Temple. I knew then that you surpassed me. Then we reunited and I was so happy. When I saw you again, I felt that I really forgot all the unhappy moments. I was being so silly! For all these years, I treated you as other people’s son and even got you almost killed. Do you know when I saw you and Caier in the film, I teared so many times because I felt guilty. I regretted that I did nothing when you were suffering. If I had stopped your adventure then, everything could be avoided. If I was by your side when you were attacked by the God of Devils and fell in the trap, at least I die together with you. But I did not. I did nothing! I do not deserve to be your father. When you were killed by the God of Devils, I since then was not qualified to be your father.” Long Xingyu looked up to the sky and sighed with tears flowing across his face. He looked at Long Haochen and Bai Yue deeply into their eyes and suddenly, without any warning, he rushed towards God of Devils at an extremely fast speed.

A violent golden red light lit up behind his back. It was the fire of life of Sealed Divine Knight of Judgment!

When Long Xingyu knew that Long Haochen was his own son, his heart was tortured. He did not know how to face his wife and his own son. At that moment, he only wanted death for himself. His running towards the God of Devils, was not hoping to kill him but to kill himself. He did not know how to atone for his mistakes and only wanted to offer his apology by his own death.

“No, Dad!” Long Haochen suddenly shouted. Even with his practice level, he could not stop Long Xingyu. Long Xingyu made up his mind and launched really fast, a speed that reached the peak in his whole life.

The God of Devils was still immersed in great pain and did not look up at Long Xingyu. Even so, his practice level would protect him from being hurt by Long Xingyu.

A purple figure blocked in front of the God of Devils. A purple light flashed, and Long Xingyu’s body bounced back at an even faster speed like bouncing on a mattress.

Long Haochen reached for his dad. It was Agarez who blocked Long Xingyu.

Long Haochen tightly held Long Xingyu and suppressed the fire of life that was burning. He said sadly, “Dad, don’t do this. You cannot. What should I and Mother do if you die? This is all a misunderstanding. If you really want to atone for it, you have to live!”

Long Xingyu, the powerful Sealed Divine Knight of Judgment struggled to get out of Long Haochen’s arms and fell on the ground crying.

Agarez looked at Long Haochen calmly. “Now is not the time for crying, Long Haochen. You have to choose. Do you know why I suddenly changed my mind and chose to fight together with His Majesty against you?”

Long Haochen was confused and shook his head.

Agarez said, “Because Austin Griffin did not die. He is our common enemy. I cooperated with you because I hoped for assimilation of my race with humans, not elimination. My people cannot survive if Austin Griffin is not dead. Even the other creatures in this world cannot live. Long Haochen, you are the leader of the humans. You have to make a decision now, otherwise everything will be destroyed. Do you understand?”

Long Haochen trembled slightly and Agarez’ words of him being leader awakened him. He bit his tip of tongue and the piercing pain woke him up from the sadness.

Right. He was the leader. He had to think for all no matter what situation he was in and what difficulties he faced. Now he already defeated the God of Devils, Moon Devil God, and Star Devil God. This was a great chance for humans to break through the darkness. Even if the God of Devils was his grandfather, he had to choose regarding the principle of right and wrong.

How many strong human beings were killed by the God of Devils?! The most recent ones were the two Demon Hunter groups with top ranks. The Devil Gods Hunter group was killed by him as well. What’s more, without killing the God of Devils, the dark age would never end. Maybe he would not have this chance next time.

Long Haochen gradually calmed down and stared at Agarez. He said with a deep voice, “Mr. Agarez, I respect you, because you helped us a lot and made the right decision before. Without your help, we could not have the upper hand in this Holy War and would not have achieved so much. But you changed your mind because of Hao Yue. I cannot agree on it. Hao Yue is my buddy, my brother. I believe that he will never do anything harmful to me.. You said that he is going to destroy the whole world but I believe it’s just a shocking statement that you made to attract attention.”
