Inside the manor…
“Dad, Mom, I’m back.”
Lin Bai said to Shen Xiujuan and Lin Hao, who had come to welcome him.
Shen Xiujuan was holding a deck of poker cards in her hand. Seeing this, she smiled and said, “Lilt Vai, come over and help me look at this hand.”
“My luck isn’t too good today. I lost three rounds to Qingyu.”
“Mom, if you want me to see your cards, how am I going to explain it to Qingyu? Let Dad help you.”
Wei Caiwei also followed Lin Bai into the manor.
Wei Caiwei had already met everyone before, so she did not show any nervousness.
“Your dad doesn’t know how to read. His card skills aren’t even as good as mine!”
Shen Xiujuan teased Lin Hao.
“Look, your mom is starting again.” Lin Hao smiled.
“Sigh, my dad has always doted on his daughter.”
Lin Bai smiled and said, “But Mom, if you invite the Vast Ocean Realm Master, he will definitely help you win.”
“What?” Shen Xiujuan was stunned.
The smile on Lin Hao’s face instantly froze. Although it quickly returned to normal, Lin Bai still captured the abnormality at this moment.
“It’s nothing. Mom, ask Caiwei to help you look at the cards. Her card skills are really good,” Lin Bai said with a smile.
Wei Cai Wei felt a little embarrassed.
During her time in the Capital University Student Union, she played a lot of cards.
Moreover, her card skills were indeed not bad.
“Alright, I have many daughters-in-law anyway. Caiwei, come and help me.”
Shen Xiujuan smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line. She pulled Wei Caiwei to the mahjong table.
“Vast Ocean Realm Master, let’s go upstairs for a chat?”
Lin Bai looked at Lin Hao with a complicated expression.
Lin Hao was stunned for a moment and then sighed. “Let’s go.”
In the warm and elegant study room…
Lin Hao and Lin Bai sat on the sofa and looked at each other.
Lin Hao also looked at Lin Bai.
“I thought that this day would come at least two years later. I didn’t expect you to discover it so early.” Lin Hao smiled after a long while. Lilt Bai, I’m really happy!”
When Lin Bai heard this, his expression changed slightly. “What happened? I… Can I still call you Dad?”
Ever since he had discussed this matter with the Great Expansion Desolate Master on the primitive planet, Lin Bai had already been convinced that his father was extraordinary.
However, Lin Bai still had no idea what the exact situation was, what his goal was, and whether he had experienced reincarnation.
Lin Hao spread his hands.
In the next moment, a golden stream of air swirled around his palm.
Seeing this, Lin Bai already understood.
However, Lin Bai did not speak. Instead, he quietly watched Lin Hao. “This matter… Speaking of which, it’s really been some time.”
Lin Hao’s face was filled with reminiscence. “Lil’ Bai, have you heard of the Dual-Domain War?”
Lin Bai nodded slightly.
“It was during the Dual-Domain War that my body was destroyed and my soul almost dissipated. I had no choice but to reincarnate.”
“With my cultivation base, I can freely choose the place where I want to reincarnate. Therefore, I set my target on many unremarkable low-level life planets.”
“After that, I was born on Earth.”
“When I was young, my memories had not yet recovered. I only entered the battlefield as an ordinary soldier,” said Lin Hao with a smile.” “Later, I met your mother and retired due to injuries.”
“After you were born, I accidentally fainted once. At that time, your grandparents thought that I had a hidden injury.”
“However, only I know that when I woke up, there were some unfamiliar memories in my mind.”
“It wasn’t until you were 15 years old that I realized that I wasn’t an Earthling.” “Or rather, I’m an Earthling, but not entirely. Haha, isn’t that contradictory?” “When you were in high school, the memories of the Vast Ocean Realm Master flashed in and nnt of mv mind ”
“You know, at that time, I wasn’t even considered a martial artist. I didn’t know what was going on. In addition, I had a family. During that time… Haha, don’t mention it.”
Lin Bai looked at Lin Hao, and his expression changed slightly.
“However, after you went to university, the memory of the Vast Ocean Realm
Master gradually stabilized and completely integrated with my life on Earth.”
“By the time you go to the Eastern Warzone, the two memories will have completely merged into one.”
At this point, a hint of affection flashed across Lin Hao’s eyes. “Therefore, I am both the Vast Ocean Realm Master and your father.”
“Even though I have experienced reincarnation, the memories of this life are precious to me.”
“The Vast Ocean Realm Master has no family, he is alone. Starting from his mother planet, he has experienced countless dangers.”
“The Vast Ocean Realm Master has never felt the warmth of a family, but I have.”
“The Vast Ocean Realm Master didn’t experience the happiness of a family, but 1 did.”
” You’ve never experienced love and the warmth of the world. However, I’ve experienced it all in this life,” Lin Hao said emotionally.
At this point, Lin Bai already understood.
Lin Bai took a deep breath, his eyes revealing complicated emotions.
He wanted to say, “Dad, I understand.”
Lin Bai asked, “Then… What do you plan to do next?”
“Both worlds are a part of me. The Vast Ocean Realm Master is me, and the ordinary Lin Hao is also me.”
“These two selves can’t be separated,” Lin Hao said solemnly. “If they separate, it won’t be me.” “Lil’ Bai, do you understand what this means?”
Lin Bai nodded.
“So, I have to fulfill my responsibility as the Vast Ocean Realm Master,” Lin Hao continued. “I also have to take on the role of Shen Xiujuan’s husband and the father of the two children.”
“But, Lil’ bai, no matter what I do, you and Qingyu will always be my children.”
“Your mother will always be my lover.”
“Haha, how touching.”
Lin Bai understood Lin Hao’s words and said with a smile, “Dad, am I the son of the Vast Ocean Realm Master now?”
Lin Hao smiled from the bottom of his heart.
For countless days and nights, Lin Hao had also questioned himself. Who exactly was he?
What do they mean to him?
Should he leave quietly and give up everything in this life, or should he continue to accompany them?
In the end, Lin Hao understood.
‘I will always be myself. I will not change just because my memories and strength have recovered.’
‘Family… They would always be family!’
If Lin Hao had to choose between the two, he would rather give up the memories of the Vast Ocean Realm Master.
Lin Hao cherished the good times in this life more.
The Vast Ocean Realm Master controlled billions of planets, had the power of an invincible Venerable Sovereign, and the respect of all living beings.
All of this was nothing compared to the word ‘family’.
In fact, Lin Hao had been worried that Lin Bai would not be able to accept him for many years, and he was also worried that Shen Xiujuan would not
understand.
However, now, it seemed that blood was thicker than water. Even the memories of being a Realm Master from his previous life could not resist the power of kinship.
The touching warmth in ordinary life, the daily trivial companionship, and the ordinary respect…
They were what Lin Hao was most touched and cherished..
