Night had fallen deep.

Netherworld City.

Just three days after the first major snowfall of the year had ceased, snow began to fall again. Although it was not a heavy downfall, it gradually covered the Netherworld City, which had been destroyed by three Primordial Demons of the Underworld.

In just a short day, this ancient city, which had flourished for tens of thousands of years, had become a desolate ghost town.

In the biting wind and snow, the figure of Hua Shan appeared above the Netherworld City.

Looking down at the scarred Netherworld City below, Hua Shan was filled with self-blame and regret.

He pondered, if he had not gone to the Eighteen Levels of Hell to impede the Nether King, Xie Xiaofeng, and the others today, would those three terrible monsters have escaped from the Gate of the Nether King?

However, the moment he thought about his actions as a means to save humanity and the world, the guilt in Hua Shan's heart vanished. What replaced it was an air of righteous indignation, which made him feel that everything he did was just and sound.

Then, Hua Shan closed his eyes and began to use his ability to sense past events in the Netherworld City during the day.

First, he saw hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the Netherworld City, followed by how the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld destroyed the Netherworld City, and then the Primordial Demons heading north;

He followed the movement of the three Primordial Demons, and soon after, he saw the clash between them and Zhao Chong, Ye Yuqiao, and others.

Upon seeing Ye Yuqiao faint and fall from the sky, Hua Shan's heart became very agitated.

However, just as the winged Primordial Demon Yu approached Ye Yuqiao, a little behemoth suddenly rushed up to save her, which disappointed him. He had thought that Yu would eliminate Ye Yuqiao and the child in her womb for him.

Finally, after the three Primordial Demons disappeared into the night sky, Hua Shan saw the little behemoth hiding Ye Yuqiao and the others on a mountain in the northwest.

Hua Shan opened his eyes and stopped sensing the past. He looked towards the mountain in the northwest and murmured to himself, "The Nether King is there on that mountain right now."

Thinking that his space Barrier was not enough to trap Ye Yuqiao, Hua Shan refrained from rashly approaching and startling them.

"I need to come up with a foolproof plan before making my move," Hua Shan continued to mutter to himself.

Within the Superpower Organization that he had established, there were dozens of people with unique abilities. He needed to select a few with specific powers to deal with Ye Yuqiao.

...

After returning to the mortal world, Hua Shan told Lin Xiaofan about the destruction of the Netherworld City.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofan relayed the information to Chen Hao, who was trapped in the Mirror Realm.

Hearing this news, Chen Hao panicked and then yelled into the sky, "Lin Xiaofan, let me out quickly! The entire Netherworld City has been destroyed by you, causing hundreds of thousands of people to lose their homes and be displaced. When will you realize the wrong you have done?"

"No! No!"

Lin Xiaofan flatly denied: "The Netherworld City was destroyed by the three monsters, not us."

"If it wasn't for you trapping me here, how would those three Primordial Demons have burst out of the Gate of the Nether King?"

Chen Hao scolded loudly: "Do you know how dreadful those three Primordial Demons are? Once they are released, the entire Netherworld will know no peace. One of them can even travel between the yin and yang realms. Have you ever considered the havoc it would cause if it came to the mortal world?"

"Lin Xiaofan, just how many people have to die before you realize your mistake!"

The last of Chen Hao's words made Lin Xiaofan's heart tremble. She immediately found Hua Shan and recounted Chen Hao's words to him.

To her surprise, Hua Shan replied coldly, "If that Primordial Demon comes to the mortal world, I will have a way to deal with it. Even if many more people die, that cost is far less severe than the disaster that would be triggered by the birth of Chen Hao's two children!

"Xiaofan!"

Hua Shan looked at Lin Xiaofan earnestly and said, "What we are doing now is to prevent the apocalypse to save the world of humanity. It is our mission and responsibility, and sometimes, it is inevitable to pay some price!"

After hearing what Hua Shan had said, Lin Xiaofan's heart, which had been shaken by Chen Hao, became resolute again. Facing the mirror, he said, "Chen Hao, I'm sorry! You've been tormented all day; go to sleep, good night!"

"Lin Xiaofan!" Chen Hao roared angrily at the sky, clearly disappointed. However, after a long while, Lin Xiaofan's voice did not echo through the Mirror Realm.

Some time passed, and a light suddenly flashed in the anxious eyes of Chen Hao: "Right, is there a Netherworld in this Mirror Realm?"

Thus, he summoned a door leading to the Netherworld and leaped through it.

Everything turned dark before his eyes, and a pale night sky dotted with fine snowflakes came into view!

What he hadn't expected was that there was also a Netherworld in the Mirror Realm.

However, before he could rejoice, his expression became grave!

At the moment, he was inside his Yang King's Mansion, and the home he shared with Ye Yuqiao had been razed to the ground, just like all the surrounding buildings.

Chen Hao shook his head in grief and then ran to the ruins of the house where he and Ye Yuqiao lived. Among the debris, he found the rabbit doll he had bought for Ye Yuqiao, as well as the gifts and toys prepared for their children.

"Ah!" Chen Hao yelled skyward through clenched teeth, his fierce face filled with hatred and helplessness.

Kneeling amidst the ruins, he held the rabbit doll in his hands and kept shouting Ye Yuqiao's name.

Such a terrible incident had occurred, yet he could not be by Ye Yuqiao's side!

"Yuqiao must be very sad now."

...

...

"Yuqiao, Yuqiao!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Ye Yuqiao slowly opened her eyes in her slumber and looked towards the cave entrance, where she saw a familiar figure.

"Chen Hao!" Ye Yuqiao was overwhelmed with excitement, "Is it you?"

"Yuqiao, it's me!" Chen Hao walked closer to her as he spoke.

Seeing Chen Hao's familiar face, Ye Yuqiao burst into tears. She slowly got up, walked toward him, and buried her head in Chen Hao's embrace.

"Chen Hao, you've finally come back!" cried Ye Yuqiao.

"Hmm! Xiaofan let me out!"

Chen Hao's left hand rested on Ye Yuqiao's shoulder: "Yuqiao, I want to discuss something with you. Let's not have children for now; we have plenty of time, it's not too late to have them later!"

Hearing Chen Hao say this, Ye Yuqiao was astonished and broke away from his chest, exclaiming in shock, "Chen Hao, what are you saying! Are you planning to kill your own child?"

"Yuqiao, listen to me, I'm not—"

"I won't listen!"

Ye Yuqiao yelled at Chen Hao in tears: "Chen Hao, I can't believe you would do this; I was so wrong about you!"

"Yuqiao, I had no choice! Our child will bring disaster to this world, I don't want to be the sinner who destroys humanity!" Chen Hao stepped forward and tightly grasped Ye Yuqiao's hand.

"Chen Hao, let me go!"

"Yuqiao, I'm sorry, but to save humanity, I must kill our child."

"No, don't!"
