Then everything went dark.
The video ends here.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
You could say this was yet another tragedy.
Even many of those who didn't get along with Qian Renxue felt as if sand had gotten into their eyes and the area around them upon seeing this scene; they simply sat there, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
The original Douluo World.
Qian Renshu saw this scene.
Compared to the two major worlds, many people's eyes were filled with sorrow.
His gaze, however, was filled with immense joy.
This ending didn't seem so bad.
It was actually quite good.
He didn't end up taking up arms against his own mother, only to end up killing her.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but exclaim, "You're so happy."
Qian Daoliu watched this scene, standing there frozen in place; his eyes, in particular, had turned completely red.
Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, then streamed down his cheeks.
The atmosphere in the grand hall grew utterly silent.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he slowly snapped out of his daze.
He swallowed hard, opened his mouth, and fixed his gaze on Qian Renxue.
He wanted to say something but couldn't bring himself to speak.
The Second Attendant standing beside him reacted exactly the same way.
Just then.
Qian Renxue slowly raised her head, a delicate smile spreading across her face.
"Grandfather, please don't worry about me. To be honest, this ending isn't tragic at all—for a daughter like me, it's actually quite good!!!"
"Perhaps my very existence in this world was a mistake from the start. I've always felt lonely, but in the future, I'll finally no longer have to endure that loneliness!!!"
"You don't need to worry about me. I'm truly happy—so very happy!!!!"
Qian Renshuo took a deep breath and voiced the thoughts in her heart.
Seeing this scene,
Qian Daoliu instantly felt an even greater sense of suffocation.
It was as if he couldn't catch his breath.
To be so at peace with death—as if it were a release—showed just how desperate she must have been while she was still alive.
His granddaughter—the granddaughter he loved most dearly—how could she have come to this?
Qian Daoliu clenched his back teeth tightly.
"It's my fault, it's my fault—it's all your grandfather's fault!!!"
"Don't worry—that's the future. It hasn't happened yet, and you'll absolutely never let it happen!!!!"
"Grandpa never once intended to hurt you—never. So please, trust Grandpa, okay!!!!"
Qian Daoliu felt as if his chest were about to burst open—it was as if Mount Tai were crushing him from below, leaving him unable to breathe properly.
"We never wanted to hurt you—we just hoped to fulfill our shop's long-held dream of unifying the Douluo Continent!!" The Second Priest's voice was also struggling against the overwhelming pressure.
"I know all that."
"But the future is already set in stone, isn't it?"
"We've inherited the power of a First-Tier God, while Tang San holds the position of God-King—how could we possibly stop him!!!"
"I'm a little tired. I'm going back to get some sleep. You guys should get some rest early, too!!!!"
"I'll be leaving in a while to find a place to open a shop. When the time comes, if Grandpa has some free time, he's welcome to stop by…"
Qian Renxue stood up, then slowly bowed in the direction of Qian Daoliu before leaving.
She simply walked away, and in that moment, he felt a sense of relief unlike anything he'd ever experienced before.
Ever since he was old enough to understand, he had never felt this at ease.
All this time, he had been following the path his grandfather had laid out for him—everything was for the sake of unifying the Douluo Continent.
He had also made this dream his life's mission.
One could say he was born for this very purpose.
Now, suddenly, he no longer cared.
Since everything was already predetermined—and no amount of effort could change it—why bother trying at all?
Watching his granddaughter's receding figure,
Qian Daoliu's heart was filled with even more complex emotions.
How could he not know that his granddaughter had truly borne far too much pressure over the years?
Only when she could no longer see her granddaughter's back did she let out a deep sigh, then turned her gaze back from the distance.
Her eyes were filled with the utmost complexity.
"I never imagined everything would be so futile—I never imagined the outcome would be like this!!!"
"The divine seats they've inherited are fundamentally different; no amount of effort can change that!!!"
"It's only now, at this moment, that I realize I've never once cared about what Xue'er truly wanted."
"Everything I've done was for the unification of the Douluo Continent. I only thought about when I could unify the Douluo Continent; I never once thought about my granddaughter. I never imagined that the 'great contribution' I thought I'd made would end up like this!!!"
"All this time, Xue'er has been so, so sensible—far too sensible. She kept us all moving forward toward a single goal, yet that goal is simply impossible to achieve!!!"
Qian Daoliu kept muttering to himself.
His face had turned as pale as could be, and as he spoke, even his eyes welled up with tears.
"Don't worry—haven't we figured it out now?!"
"Since we can't unify the Douluo Continent, then we won't unify it!!"
"So what if we don't take the path of unification? If we don't unify it, our tragedy won't happen!"
The Second Attendant kept muttering to himself.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu—who in the past would have rebutted without hesitation—actually nodded his head.
"Thank goodness for the contrast. It wouldn't have been hard for that video to surface—I would've spent the rest of my life consumed by self-reproach!!!"
"Yeah, how could a First-Rank God possibly go up against a God King???"
"There's no changing this future. In this world, there's no Mentor!!"
"Why don't we just give up right now!!!!"
Qian Daoliu couldn't help but blurt it out.
The Second Attendant also couldn't help but speak up.
Standing beside Qian Renxue, who had just walked away, he felt an immense sense of relief wash over him.
Everything from the past seemed to melt away in that moment.
Gazing at the setting sun in the distance, for some reason, he felt a sense of ease he'd never experienced before.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The scene on screen had become very strange. While another video was still playing, this one suddenly went black.
Many people who saw this scene immediately realized what had happened.
"Is this the life we're living now? It really breaks my heart to watch this. To die just like that—it feels like such a tragedy!!!!"
