Chapter 316: A Mother's Great Love
"So… this is the truth?"
Qian Renxue stared blankly at the scene unfolding in the video. She hadn't expected such a dramatic twist at first, she had assumed that Keli was her sister, but in the end, she discovered that Keli was actually her daughter.
And more than that, Bibi Dong had never had a second child, nor had she stolen her man. Everything had been a misunderstanding, cleverly misdirected by the way the video was presented.
Realizing this, Qian Renxue let out a long sigh of relief. She recalled how jealous she had felt watching Bibi Dong spoil Keli in previous scenes but now, knowing the truth, she no longer minded at all.
Because this was the daughter she had chosen to give birth to, even at the cost of her own life.
By this point, Qian Renxue had already completely immersed herself in the role of her future self. Unconsciously, she even began imagining herself interacting with Ye Cheng in reality already planning the moment when they would meet and eventually have a daughter.
Yes, she had already decided when that day came, she would name their daughter Keli, just like in the video.
Of course, she was aware that due to the butterfly effect of revealing the future, even if they did end up together, their child wouldn't be exactly the same Keli from the video.
In fact, there was even a possibility that their child could be a son instead.
But that didn't stop her from indulging in the fantasy.
Meanwhile
Bibi Dong gazed at the video's depiction of Qian Renxue, a woman willing to sacrifice everything to bring her child into the world. For a moment, she was lost in thought, comparing Renxue's selflessness to her own past choices.
She remembered her own pregnancy how, after suffering relentless betrayals and tragedies, she had been imprisoned. To prevent her from harming the child, they had sealed her spirit power, leaving her locked away in a dark, lifeless cell for ten entire months.
She had endured every day of that torment, unable to see the sun, until she finally gave birth to Qian Renxue and only then was she set free.
How could she possibly love the child born from that nightmare?
Even now, the mere sight of Qian Renxue brought back memories of the man who had violated her, of the helplessness and despair she had endured.
In truth, it was already a miracle that she didn't hate Qian Renxue with her very being.
Any woman who had suffered what she had would have changed some might have even gone mad. Surviving had been a struggle, and she had only endured because she had clung to her hatred, as well as her memories of her first love, Yu Xiaogang.
During those darkest days, her only lifeline had been recalling the sweet moments of her youth. Yu Xiaogang had been her only hope, the only thing that had kept her from losing her mind.
And this was why, in the original timeline, she had forgiven him again and again, even when his actions should have made her see the truth.
She had never been love blind rather, her mind had been broken.
Deep down, she knew that Yu Xiaogang was a fraud, a coward, a man of weak character.
But she forced herself to see him in a better light because he was the only bright spot in her dark world.
She had needed that light to survive.
And so, she could never bring herself to destroy it, even when she knew it was a lie.
But things were different now.
Because of Ye Cheng's arrival, the course of history had been thrown into chaos.
Everything had changed.
Now, after so many years, Bibi Dong had long since let go of her past attachments. She had awakened from the illusion.
The trials of her divine inheritance had purified her mind, allowing her to think rationally.
She no longer clung to the past.
She no longer felt an obsession with vengeance.
Her only remaining desire was to become a god to gain enough power to control her own fate.
Even her hatred for Spirit Hall and the Qian Clan had faded.
Looking back now… she realized that she had been the first to make a mistake.
She had once believed that Qian Xunji had ruined her life, but now, with a clear mind, she understood
If he had taken a gentler approach… if he hadn't used such cruel, repulsive methods… perhaps everything would have been different.
But after all these years, she no longer cared.
Victory or defeat, revenge or redemption none of it mattered anymore.
Back to the Video
After Sun Zhongjing's memories ended, the video didn't return to the present.
Instead, it transitioned into another flashback.
This time, the scene featured Silver Dragon King and Qian Renxue.
Immediately, the audience realized this must be Silver Dragon King's memory.
Or perhaps… was it a shared memory between the two women?
"The bloodline of a Creator God is too powerful…" Silver Dragon King gazed at the frail, emaciated Qian Renxue, concern in her golden eyes.
She sighed and said, "Because of my bond with him, I feel obligated to protect the last trace of his bloodline… but if you insist on giving birth to this child, you must understand…"
"You may not survive."
"Have you truly made peace with this decision?"
"I have."
Qian Renxue nodded without hesitation.
Then, gently caressing her swollen belly, she whispered
"To be honest… from the moment he sacrificed himself, I wanted to follow him."
"But this child… made me abandon that selfish thought."
"I wanted to live for her. To raise her, to watch her grow."
"But if only one of us can live…"
"Then there's nothing to hesitate about."
A sad smile crossed her lips.
"This child will be born without a mother… and for that, I am truly sorry."
She fell into a moment of silence.
Then, as if making a final request, she looked at Silver Dragon King.
"When the child is born, let her acknowledge you as her godmother."
Silver Dragon King was momentarily startled.
Then, after a brief pause, she smiled.
"Alright," she said warmly. "Then, from this moment on she is my daughter, too."
They exchanged a look of mutual understanding.
Scene Change
The video cut to the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Forest.
Silver Dragon King stood beside Qian Renxue, pointing toward the lake.
"This is the most sacred place of this world the greatest source of life energy."
"If even this place cannot sustain your child, then nothing can."
Qian Renxue nodded gently.
Then, without hesitation, she stepped into the center of the lake.
Silver Dragon King raised her hands, summoning countless streams of life energy, which poured into Qian Renxue's frail body nourishing the unborn child.
Years passed in the blink of an eye.
Until one day…
Silver Dragon King let out a breath of relief.
"It's done."
At that moment, a golden light burst from the lake's center.
Qian Renxue emerged, cradling a newborn baby.
But her own body had turned ethereal, fading into golden light.
As she handed the infant to Silver Dragon King, she smiled softly
And then, she dissolved into light, vanishing forever.
