Chapter 74 Two paths

In the third layer of space, two entities moved in opposite directions. One appeared as a soul, the other as a human. Moments later, the third layer tore open, revealing a passage to the first layer. Each entity exited the third layer, with a planet directly in front of them. Without hesitation, both entities plunged into their respective worlds.************

"Wah...wah...wah..."

"The mistress has given birth!" a loud female voice exclaimed as the baby's cries grew louder.

This was the Xiao family, a small family on the edge of a town. Previously consisting of just two people, it now welcomed a third with the newborn child. The father, Xiao Lian, was a wealthy businessman with branches in several cities. A year ago, he came to this town to open a new branch, where he met Su Yang—an orphan begging by the roadside.

He took pity on her, brought her into his home, and cared for her. Over time, they grew close, shared their stories, and eventually fell in love. They married, and now they had a child. Xiao Lian decided to settle down here, creating a family with Su Yang.

"Haha! This child's name will be Li Qian... no, not a traditional name," Xiao Lian chuckled, holding the baby. A smile lit his face as he looked at the infant.

"Your name will be Kai," he declared with a hearty laugh. Originally, he had planned to name his child Xiao Bao, then considered Li Qiang, but something told him this child's name should be Kai.

"Oh..." Su Yang groaned, opening her eyes. Xiao Lian rushed to her side with the baby in his arms.

"Wife, you're awake," Xiao Lian said softly. Su Yang smiled, and the two shared a tender moment, while the baby's eyes remained closed. Just then, a dark, flaming aura hovered nearby, unnoticed by Xiao Lian and Su Yang, who lacked the sensitivity to perceive it.

The baby, eyes still closed, finally opened them briefly, as if wondering, "Who am I, and what is my purpose?" Sёarch* The Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The child soon fell back asleep, and the parents gazed at the little one cute face in awe.

Four years later...

Little Kai had grown into a fine young boy, although a strange one. He showed little interest in playing with other children, preferring solitude and intense physical training, as if he'd been training for decades.

One day, Xiao Lian summoned Kai to the study. "Son, today is the day you'll leave for the prestigious cultivators' sect. I'm proud of you," Xiao Lian said with a laugh. Two years earlier, a passing cultivator had tested Kai's talent, discovering a rare, dark flaming affinity—a gift not seen in thousands of years.

"Thank you, Father. I will work hard and make you proud," Kai replied with a faint smile.

"Let's go, then. Time to see you off," Xiao Lian said, nodding. Kai followed his father closely as they walked outside, where servants and aides greeted them.

As they reached the gate, Xiao Lian felt a wave of nostalgia, while Kai gazed around with calm, tranquil eyes. At the doorway, Kai noticed his mother's bulging stomach; in two months, he would have a sibling of unknown gender.

"Son," Su Yang called, arms open. Kai approached her calmly and bowed slightly.

Seeing this, Su Yang felt a pang of sadness. Kai was a good child—talented, obedient, and hardworking—but his calmness bordered on coldness. When once asked how he felt about his parents, he had replied, "Nothing... I feel nothing."

"Take care of yourself, son... We await your return," Su Yang said, her voice choking with emotion. Xiao Lian sighed, resigned to his son's distant nature.

"Stay well, Mother. Take care of yourselves, Father," Kai replied with a faint smile as a carriage arrived. His belongings were already packed.

Kai climbed into the carriage, its steps high for a child his age. As it departed, Su Yang broke down in tears, embracing her husband.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. We know how strong our little boy is," Xiao Lian reassured her as she sniffled.

In the carriage, Kai looked out the window, watching children playing, people arguing and laughing in the market. He was finally leaving the town, moving into new territory.

"Sigh... it's boring again," Kai murmured, his gaze sharp. Since learning to count, he had felt no warmth, only a calm detachment. He watched the scenes pass by, his expression tranquil. Find exclusive stories on empire

"Are you ready, young master?" the driver asked from outside as they left the town's limits.

"Yes," Kai nodded, watching as a broad grin spread across the driver's face.

Boom!

The two horses pulling the cart leapt hundreds of meters into the air, soaring through the skies. Kai observed it all with an unwavering calmness.

Meanwhile, in the cosmos, two colossal entities met, their imposing auras causing space itself to collapse, reaching the very boundary of reality. These beings were tied to two souls now reincarnated . It was of course connected to both Leo and Doria both dead now.—a father seeking revenge for his son, and a sister grieving her loss.

"Did you kill my son?" the giant beast demanded, its aura wavering, ready to fight.

"Did you kill my sister?" countered the woman, only to pause as the giant beast's eyes widened in realization. They sensed a higher power had obscured the truth, leaving them with only questions and wrath.

"Hmph," the beast groaned in frustration as the woman disappeared. Uncertain of who was responsible, she vowed to continue her search. The giant beast roared, unleashing destruction upon every world and universe in sight.

Elsewhere, a human body landed in a strange, yet familiar place. Void's clone opened his eyes, sensing an eerily known world. If void was here he would have realized that this world was familiar. After wards this was the JJK world. The jujutsu kaisen world.

At the third abyss....

Two figures with gigantic body appeared. Their demonic aura spread out but was overshadowed by an intense fire filled with even more chaotic aura.

This place was burning with the heat and various strange and dangerous creatures around. This was the abyss and linkir and sword demon have arrived.

" So this is the abyss..."...., sword demon said with a shocked expression.
