Chaoyang stood atop the moonlit ruins, the shattering scenes of the thunderstorm still resonating in his mind. He turned to look at the source of the voice that seemed to see through everything. Although no one was around, he knew that mysterious presence was still watching him.

Chaoyang asked, "What were those things I saw during the thunder tribulation? And who was that child?"

"Those are the future of this world. That child is the Son of Heaven. He was originally meant to lead this world's advancement, but the trajectory of fate went astray."

That voice echoed again in Chaoyang's mind, carrying a subtle heaviness and resignation. "The Son of Heaven is the hope naturally nurtured by this world. He was supposed to bear the heavy responsibility of guiding the world's evolution. But unexpectedly, this world would become so dark, leading to the Son of Heaven's fate being ravaged and unable to successfully grow. He also failed in his world advancement."

"Failure? What does that mean?" Chaoyang's heart suddenly tightened. He had a premonition that there was a huge crisis and responsibility hidden behind this.

"Failure means that the balance of this world will be broken, resources will be exhausted, spiritual energy will dissipate, and eventually it will enter the Dharma Ending Age. All living things will find it difficult to survive, and the path of cultivation will be completely cut off." The voice spoke slowly, and every word was as heavy as a thousand pounds, weighing on Chaoyang's heart.

Chaoyang was silent for a moment, knowing full well that he couldn't stay out of this. "Then what can I do? How can I save the world on my own?"

"Chaoyang, it's actually very simple. As long as you teach that child well, let him grow into a true son of the Heavenly Dao, and guide the world back on track, you will be able to change everything. You possess the wisdom and power from the world of cultivation, which are precious resources that are scarce in this world. And that child, he has the blood of the Heavenly Dao flowing through his body, possessing extraordinary potential and a pure heart. He just needs proper guidance." The voice, as if it could penetrate his inner struggles and doubts, continued to echo in his mind. "You possess the wisdom and power from another world, which are precious resources that are scarce in this world. And more importantly, you have an indomitable heart and the courage to take responsibility. This will be the key to your victory over all difficulties."

Chaoyang took a deep breath, a firm conviction rising within him. He knew he had no way out; only by forging ahead could he save the world. He nodded and said solemnly, "I understand. I'll do my best. How do I find him?"

"You don't need to look for him, you will meet each other." The voice replied.

I see.

Chaoyang stood atop the moonlit ruins, his heart filled with hope and determination for the future. He looked around. The abandoned village remained dilapidated, yet now, in Chaoyang's eyes, it seemed to have been revitalized. He realized that his fate was inextricably linked to this world, and that the burden he bore was not just the fate of his own life and death, but the fate of the entire cultivation world and even the wider world.

Just then, a breeze blew by, bringing a breath of fresh air. Chaoyang felt an inexplicable call, as if something was guiding him. He followed this feeling, took a step forward, and flew into the distance.

Chaoyang felt the mysterious call on the wind, as if it were destiny's guiding hand, irresistible. He flew over ruins, skimmed across the barren land, and finally arrived at a dilapidated temple. The temple's doors had collapsed, but a mysterious atmosphere emanated from within. Cautiously, Chaoyang entered the temple and saw a small figure huddled in a corner, seemingly asleep.

Chaoyang walked closer and saw that it was a young child, dirty all over, but with an unusual spirit between his eyebrows. The child seemed to sense Chaoyang's arrival and slowly opened his eyes. In those clear eyes, there seemed to be endless stars.

Chaoyang was shocked. Could this be the so-called Son of Heaven?

At this moment, the mysterious voice sounded in Chaoyang's mind again: "Yes, he is the Son of Heaven. You must take good care of him and guide his growth."

Chaoyang nodded, feeling a sense of responsibility. "Hello, little one, can I rest here?" Chaoyang asked softly, trying not to scare the seemingly fragile child.

The child was slightly startled, then smiled innocently and nodded. Chaoyang sat down next to the child.

"What's your name?" Chaoyang asked softly, trying to establish a connection with the child. Chaoyang already knew Lei Jie's name from his memories, but at this moment, he wanted to hear the child say his name himself.

"My name is Wei Ying." The child's voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of innocence and childishness.

Chaoyang felt warm in his heart and responded with a smile: "Wei Ying, what a nice name. My name is Chaoyang, and we will be friends from now on."

A hint of surprise flashed across Wei Ying's eyes, as if he was happy about this unexpected companion. He nodded, his eyes gleaming with anticipation for the future.

"Brother Chaoyang, why are you here?" Wei Ying asked curiously.

Chaoyang smiled slightly, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He looked into Wei Ying's clear eyes, as if he saw hope for the future.

"I'm looking for you!" Chaoyang replied softly, "I'm your mother's younger brother. You should call me uncle. She told me to find you and protect you as you grow up."

In the future, what Wei Ying longs for most is the companionship and support of his family. He hopes that his loved ones can understand and support him, rather than always relying on him and restricting him.

In order to realize this wish, Chaoyang decided to adopt a special strategy. He decided to temporarily conceal the truth and not tell Wei Ying his true identity, but instead appear in Wei Ying's life as his uncle.

Chaoyang hopes that in this way, he can accompany Wei Ying as he grows up, give him more love and support, and let him feel the warmth of family and the power of affection. Chaoyang believes that only in this way can Wei Ying truly feel the presence of his family, rather than being suffocated by the Jiang family in the future.

Chaoyang hopes that through his own efforts, Wei Ying can have a happier and more fulfilling life in the future.

Wei Ying's eyes flashed with surprise, and then a delighted smile appeared on his face. "Really? Then do you know where Father and Mother went? Didn't we agree to wait for them to come back? But I've been waiting here for a long time, and they haven't come back. Is it because I'm being naughty?"

Chaoyang felt a pain in his heart. He knew that Wei Ying's mother was no longer alive, but in order to prevent the child from suffering the pain of losing a loved one too early, he decided to conceal the truth temporarily.

"Your father and mother... they have important matters to attend to and can't come back for the time being," Chaoyang said softly, "but they have always cared about you and hope that you can grow up healthy and happy. They asked me to take good care of you."

Wei Ying nodded, a hint of disappointment flashing across his eyes, but he quickly regained his innocent smile: "Then I will definitely be a good boy and wait for my father and mother to come back. Uncle, you have to stay with me all the time too!"

Chaoyang felt a pang in his heart, as he understood the loneliness and helplessness Wei Ying endured. He then gently picked up Wei Ying, feeling his faint breath and warm body.

Chaoyang hugged Wei Ying tightly, his heart filled with love and responsibility. He patted the child's back gently, trying to give him some comfort.

"Of course, I will always be with you until your parents come back." Chaoyang said softly, knowing in his heart that this might be an unattainable promise. But he was willing to make every effort for this child, to let him feel the warmth of home.

"Uncle will take you away from here and find a safe place where you can grow up happily." Chaoyang said softly, with a firm light in his eyes.

Wei Ying nodded, his eyes gleaming with anticipation for the future.

"So where are we going next?" Wei Ying asked curiously, with curiosity glittering in his eyes.

Chaoyang carried Wei Ying in his arms and walked out of the dilapidated temple. The night deepened, but Chaoyang's heart was filled with hope and determination. He knew the road ahead was long, but he was willing to forge ahead, for Wei Ying and for the world.

"We are going to a safe place, a place where Ying can grow up happily." Chaoyang replied with a determined light in his eyes.
