Chapter 501: Chapter 501 Reunion
After years of separation, they finally reunited. Although there was sorrow, there was even more joy. Shi Hao felt satisfied within his heart, with tears and laughter on his face, he felt a strong sense of kinship.
“Don’t blame your brother…” Clearly, when the couple had opened up the void, they had seen through the crack that the two brothers had confronted each other, even coming to blows.
Their mouths opened and closed, with so much they wanted to say, yet not knowing how to begin, they hoped the two children could get along harmoniously.
Shi Hao understood, nodding vigorously, saying, “My brother and I are flesh and blood; we will take care of each other.”
“Really, don’t blame him…” Qin Yining wept.
That year, after returning from the blood-washed wasteland, the couple were utterly disheartened, their hearts filled with desolation and pain, missing their fate-stricken infant.
They found it hard to let go and impossible to forget. Young Shi Hao was so adorable and robust, naturally possessing the Supreme Bone but was then mined by others, left frail and nearly dying, eventually abandoned in Stone Village, barely clinging to life.
The couple remained immersed in their agony for a long time.
In the end, what led them out of darkness was the second child, whom they saw just as tender, with equally bright big eyes, utterly adorable, finally giving them a kind of solace and hope in their hearts.
For this reason, they named the second child Hao, carrying on the name of the elder son, still calling him Shi Hao, cherishing their memories, unable to forget.
Regrettably, being on Immortal Mountain, many things could not be changed. The second child received special attention from the Qin Clan, harboring great expectations, and was renamed Qin, called Qin Hao.
From an early age, the second son was taught by the Qin Clan, his exceptional talents were unlocked, truly becoming terrifyingly powerful, and received extra pampering.
Shi Ziling and his wife could not stop the Qin Clan members from changing the second child’s surname, so they called him “infant,” overcoming their initial sorrow, pouring all their effort into the second child, hoping he would grow up carefree and healthy.
No matter what, the Qin Clan was seriously cultivating, providing the child with sufficient resources, which the couple would not impede.
The parental love for the child was unquestionable; the two were very fond of the second child, although the time spent beside them was far less than with the Qin Clan people.
One day, some in the Qin Clan, intentionally or unintentionally, told the child that his birth was their parents’ effort to save a once-lost child.
Why? Young Qin Hao couldn’t help but ask aloud.
Someone from the Qin Clan told him that his coming into this world was intentional, meant to save a once-lost child.
And they told him if he were to save that child, he may be very weak for several years, requiring his divine blood for nourishment, his blood as medicine.
That day, Qin Hao cried bitterly, tearfully confronting his parents, arguing whether he was just a replacement. Whether another brother existed, for whose sake he had been born.
Shi Ziling and his wife were heartbroken but softly told him that indeed, there had been an elder brother, but he was gone, never to be seen again–he was not a replacement.
Perhaps, initially wanting the child to come into this world, was to save the first child, but they did not wish harm upon his life, after all, both children were their own.
And as Shi Hao was believed dead, the couple focused all their love onto him.
In fact, as parents, how could they not love their own child? Especially after losing the first one, the two cherished the second even more.
Yet, Qin Hao always remembered that there was another brother, the Qin Clan elders all telling him that his parents had him to save that older brother.
Shi Ziling harbored great hatred for the Qin Clan; how could they teach a child in such a way, planting such seeds? Some sorrowful things should be left in the past, why let a child know.
Yet, regardless, the couple could not change any of it.
“Really, don’t blame your brother; he’s just a child with a complex, thinking he can never match your place in our hearts…” Qin Yining said once more.
Shi Hao could feel that his parents loved that brother, too, continually explaining, all because they feared discord between them.
“Father, Mother, I understand, no matter what, he’s my dear brother, the closest person to me,” Shi Hao whispered, signaling them to say no more.
They nodded, holding his hand, murmuring words of affection.
Two years ago, a sudden battle between the Two Stones erupted, truly shaking the domains; Qin Hao inadvertently learned that his brother was not dead, prompting a sense of comparison within him.
Such a powerful brother, so dominantly born, if he returned, what sort of concern would he arouse in their parents? From a young age, he had a complex and wished to compete with his brother.
Long after the battle between the Two Stones, Shi Ziling and his wife serendipitously learned that their feeble elder son was still alive, and so stunningly brilliant, looking down upon his peers across the world, at that moment they cried tears of joy and embraced each other.
It was from that day that they sensed some of Qin Hao’s subtle complexes.
“Child, you don’t know how thrilled we were when we learned you were still in this world, still alive,” Qin Yining, as a mother, spoke her mind, weeping and laughing.
That battle two years ago shook the heavens, with Little Stone’s name spreading far and wide, even the Profound Domain knew of him. The couple felt guilt and pride; that was their child, who rose on his own, without relying on anyone, already renowned throughout the world!
Regretfully, after that battle, Little Stone directly disappeared, laying dormant for nearly two years before reemerging.
“I despise Immortal Mountain!” Shi Ziling declared, frowning.
For, as far as he knew, it was the shadow of Immortal Mountain that influenced Shi Yi’s growth, covertly manipulating Demonic Spirit Lake, providing corresponding resources, all for the moment to harvest the precious bones.
“`
Unfortunately, an accident had occurred, and the great battle between the two stones took place in the Realm of Virtual Gods. The people of the Qin Clan went there but were no match for the two young men.
But they knew where Shi Yi’s True Body was, hidden in the Demonic Spirit Lake, so after the battle, when he fell, the Qin people immediately took action, wanting to take away that body.
What they regretted and dreaded was the reemergence of that mythical, invincible woman in grey, who took away Shi Yi’s body, thwarting their plan to harvest the Divine Medicine, deterring them from challenging her.
Shi Hao furrowed his brows. No wonder the Qin Clan both wanted to win him over and greatly feared him, even feeling worried and scared. It turns out there was so much more to the story. First, his mother’s people had been defeated in the higher realms and imprisoned here. Second, when he was on his last breath, the Qin people coldly refused to help, brutally telling his parents that it was impossible to waste Divine Medicine on him. Third, they had once helped Shi Yi grow for the sake of harvesting precious bones from the Divine Medicine. These contrasting actions from before and after made Immortal Mountain unavoidably anxious, fearing that upon reuniting with his parents, he would learn the whole truth.
“There’s something odd…” Little Pagoda muttered to itself, staring at the altar here nonstop, clearly sensing the aura of the Supreme.
“Is creating a young supreme being the first step?” It was filled with uncertainty.
The Qin Clan had a plan for the Supreme’s nirvana, but what exactly did they want to accomplish? It seemed they needed the help of people like Qin Hao and Shi Hao, which had already been heard of.
Its words interrupted a family of three.
Shi Hao suddenly thought of his grandfather, feeling an urgent need to know the truth. He was very anxious; his grandfather had sacrificed too much for him.
When Lord Fifteen was mentioned, Shi Ziling and his wife were filled with rage.
The old man had brought Sister Mang to Immortal Mountain. After revealing their intentions, they were led inside, and when he truly learned that the two were imprisoned in Divine Valley, he was extremely furious.
He wanted to rescue his children, but ultimately, he was no match for the Venerable One and was beaten, coughing up blood. The demonic deity, a hero in his own time, suffered humiliation here, coughing blood continuously.
“Qin Clan, Immortal Mountain!” Shi Hao yelled furiously, overwhelmed with resentment. Although he had already slain Qin Zhan, there was still a pent-up fury within him.
“It’s alright. In a bit, we’ll empty out Immortal Mountain’s treasury, not leaving a single thing behind as compensation, and then attack our way into the higher realms later,” Little Pagoda instigated.
“Did grandfather and Sister Mang really enter the higher realms?” Shi Hao asked, a feeling of unease in his heart.
Shi Ziling nodded. That time he had called for Qin Hao. After all, the younger son was deeply doted on by the many elders of Immortal Mountain, and he could accomplish a great deal.
On that day, Shi Ziling gave Qin Hao countless warnings and admonitions, reminding him that the demonic deity was his biological grandfather and he must find a way to rescue him and send him through the transport formation, releasing him and Sister Mang.
In the end, Qin Hao managed to do so, but unexpectedly, upon activating the ancient Array, it turned out to be a passage to the higher realms.
“This…” Shi Hao was speechless for a moment.
“Child, ever since we knew you were still alive, it has been the happiest thing for us, we’ve never felt such joy!” Qin Yining said with tears of happiness on her face.
“My child, even without the Supreme Bone, you have risen and look down upon the world disdainfully, truly unparalleled throughout history!” Shi Ziling said with immense pride, patting Shi Hao firmly on the shoulder.
Not far away, a young man stood silently, wearing silver armor that circulated with the breath of deities and holding a silver War Spear.
“Child, come here, this is your brother, your own flesh and blood!” Qin Yining noticed her younger son, wiped away her tears, and waved him over.
“Son, come here, our family is finally reunited!” Shi Ziling said as well.
Qin Hao approached, his silvery-white armor gleaming, lending him an extraordinary air. Although his face was youthful, he still appeared as a Divine Child, radiant throughout.
However, he was somewhat silent, looking at Shi Hao and then at his parents, evidently having heard their latest conversation.
Shi Hao had experienced much hardship and matured quickly. Seeing his younger brother like this, he understood he was still a child at heart and perhaps felt like his place with their parents had been taken.
“Little brother, no matter what, we are the closest kin. Whatever happens in the future, you and I will always be brothers, and I will take good care of you,” Shi Hao said emotionally.
“I don’t need it, I will become the strongest person in the world!” Qin Hao declared.
“Good, little brother will become the strongest person, then please take care of your big brother,” Shi Hao said with a smile.
If anyone saw this, the invariably dominant Shi Hao, who looked down on the heroes of the world as Little Stone, speaking like this, they would be amazed and find it hard to believe.
“Eh, something’s not right. There’s a powerful presence approaching. Who is this?!” Little Pagoda suddenly exclaimed in shock.
In the distance, an undying creature spread a pair of golden wings that blotted out the sky, radiating with brilliant golden light, compressing the vast universe. He was like a world-dominating Demon Lord.

The Five Elements Mountains continued to suppress, but could no longer seal him back.
At that moment, a massive aura suddenly emerged, terrifying and shaking Immortal Mountain, echoing throughout the Profound Domain–an unimaginable existence was about to appear.
“Immortal Heavenly Venerate, are you forcing your way into the Lower Realm in a fit of desperation?” Little Pagoda spoke, greatly astonished.
