War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

4342 Duan Qiao Yu’s Origin

‘So it turns out resistance occurs when two same beings exist at the same time…’

Duan Ling Tian did not experience any resistance because he was not born yet at this time.

‘Does this mean humans can only travel back to the time before they were born? This means that it’s more difficult for others to travel back in time. After all, I don’t think there are any rudimentary Supreme Gods younger than 1,000 years old in the God Defying World, let alone an intermediate Supreme God who has stabilized his cultivation base.’

Duan Ling Tian came to this conclusion after he met Ning Yi Xuan, the former strongest young prodigy in the God Defying World from the Divine Offering Land’s Ning clan, which was a prime supreme-rank force.

!! ‘In fact, an advanced Lord of Gods below the age of 1,000 is considered a monstrous prodigy in the God Defying World. Even then, someone with such talent would not be able to change the course of history if they were sent back in time…’

Duan Ling Tian was enlightened after thinking about these things. At this time, he was almost completely certain that the supreme powerhouse who had given him the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity had sent him back to the time before he was born.

‘He must have paid a huge price for sending me back 1,000 years back in time. I wonder what’s his reason? Is he planning to possess my body after I grow stronger to a certain level?’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed when he thought about this. He could not believe that the supreme powerhouse did not have any motives at all. Although he did not know if supreme powerhouses had to face Heavenly Tribulations and risked death, he could not help but feel skeptical. Why would the other party pay such a huge price just to send him back in time? It was not like the other party had specific missions for him in the past.

‘Forget it… I’ll go and have a look at Ke’er first.’

It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to arrive near the Xia clan’s estate in the Divine Offering Land. With his current strength, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan would definitely welcome him warmly. However, he was afraid of affecting the past and the future. He would be content as long as he could catch a glimpse of Ke’er who was still Xia Ning Xue, the Eldest Young Miss of the Xia clan, now.

…

Duan Ling Tian spent half a month outside of the Xia clan’s estate before he found out that Xia Ning Yue was in closed-door cultivation and had not appeared in front of the public for at least a decade now. Although he was disappointed, he did not let it affect him.

With this discovery, he left the Divine Offering Land and returned to the Profound Energy Land. It was unrealistic for him to continue waiting for Xia Ning Xue to appear. Moreover, he was curious about how he met Duan Qiao Yu.

…

After returning to the Profound Energy Land, Duan Ling Tian kept his distance from the Myriad Laws Academy, afraid of affecting the future.

Two years passed before he finally met Duan Qiao Yu.

‘Master was right! I really met her after I traveled back in time!’

Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel excited even though he had already expected this.

Before meeting Duan Ling Tian, Duan Qiao Yu’s name was only Qiao Yu. She had adopted her mother’s surname, Qiao. After Duan Ling Tian saved her life, he became the second most important person in her life so she adopted his surname as well.

Duan Ling Tian did not dissuade her from doing so since he knew how persistent she could be based on their encounters in the future.

“Brother! I want to avenge my mother with my own hands!”

Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel distressed seeing how resolute Duan Qiao Yu was about seeking revenge when she was so young. Seeing her determination, he did not avenge her mother on her behalf.

Duan Qiao Yu was the illegitimate child of a young master from a heavyweight supreme-rank force. He was already engaged when he had an affair with Duan Qiao Yu’s mother. After Duan Qiao Yu was born, he led a group of men to hunt the mother and daughter down to prevent his fiancee from learning about their existence. In the end, in order to protect Duan Qiao Yu, her mother was killed by his right-hand man.

It was also at that time that Duan Ling Tian promptly appeared and saved Duan Qiao Yu before killing her father’s men.

When Duan Ling Tian found out that the culprit was Duan Qiao Yu’s biological father, he was livid. Seeing how resolute she was, he also did not offer to avenge her mother for her. He took her under his wings after saving her.

After some time had passed, Duan Ling Tian discovered that Duan Qiao Yu’s Divine Energy seemed to have been suppressed. No matter how she cultivated, she could not progress at all. Eventually, he realized it was due to his presence. For this reason, he entrusted her to another person.

When Duan Qiao Yu, who was only about seven or eight years old at this time, found out about Duan Ling Tian’s decision, she asked, “Brother, are you abandoning me?”

Duan Ling Tian felt distressed when he saw the crestfallen expression on her face. He stroked her head and said as he shook his head, “Little Yu, I’m not abandoning you. However, if you stay with me, you won’t get any stronger. Let me tell you a secret…”

Then, Duan Ling Tian told her that he was from the future so that she would not overthink things.

Although it sounded ridiculous, Duan Qiao Yu did not doubt Duan Ling Tian at all.

“However, brother, I don’t want to be separated from you…”

“Little Yu, don’t you want to avenge your mother? You won’t be able to do so if you don’t get stronger…”

“Brother, will I meet you in the future?”

“Of course, we’ll meet in the future. However, you have to promise me that you’ll never reveal your identity until I recognize you.”

After that, he told Duan Qiao Yu about where and when they would meet in the future.

“Alright, let’s look for someone to care for you before we separate…”

In the beginning, Duan Ling Tian wanted to find a family to foster Duan Qiao Yu, but she rejected it. She insisted she only needed one person to look after her. After all, her mother had single-handedly raised her. As such, he began to look for the perfect candidate. He rescued a few Supreme Gods, including an advanced Supreme God. They were all very grateful and were willing to serve Duan Ling Tian.

Following that, before entrusting Duan Qiao Yu to them, Duan Ling Tian decided to test them. He pretended to leave her with them and left. Initially, they were good to her. However, when faced with life-threatening situations, they did not hesitate to abandon her at all.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian killed all of them without holding back. After all, they went back on their words and broke their promise to him.

After testing more than a dozen candidates, Duan Ling Tian finally found someone reliable. It was an old woman. She was an advanced Supreme God who had just stabilized her cultivation base. Faced with a life-or-death situation, she did not flinch as she stood her ground and tried her best to send Duan Qiao Yu to safety.
