"Everyone will die one day, Nannan."

Pei Yun had seen everything a long time ago. "Besides, this isn't called death, father. This is about reuniting with your mother."

Pei Zhiyi sniffed, "But I'm very selfish. I hope you can stay with me a little longer and reunite with mother later, okay?"

Pei Yun reached out and wiped Pei Zhiyi's tears. "You're already an adult, and you're still crying? Separation and death are only human nature. You're the child I've devoted all my efforts to raising. You should understand this better."

"But I'm just an ordinary person after all."

Why force her to see through these things that she shouldn't see through now?

"Nannan, it's not that your father is selfish, but the ending has been decided, and your father can no longer accompany you." Pei Yun's body was damaged in the battle with the God of Creation. He has been recovering, but it has never been good. The reason why he has held on for so many years is because he is worried that Pei Zhiyi has not fully grown up and cannot protect himself or his people.

But now it’s different. His children are now very outstanding, so outstanding that he can finally relax.

"Shanshan left me, and even you will leave me..."

If the price of growing up is loss, then why should she grow up?

"You always say that the outcome you predicted is a foregone conclusion, but man can conquer nature, right? Besides, our battle with the gods has just begun, and you could have lived forever."

"Nannan, listen to what your father says." Pei Yun knew that Pei Zhiyi was a little emotional, so he still had to comfort his child first. "I know what you are thinking, so I support all your decisions. But my body is indeed at the end of its strength. The tribesmen in the back have been settled according to your alternative plan. I came to you now to give you one last gift, so that I can leave with peace of mind."

"What are you going to give me?"

Pei Yun smiled and touched Pei Zhiyi's head, "I'll give you some more confidence."

The spiritual power in Pei Yun's body began to quickly transfer to Pei Zhiyi's body. As the spiritual power was lost, Pei Yun's body began to quickly dry up and age. Finally, in Pei Zhiyi's incredulous eyes, he fell down due to exhaustion.

"Father!"

Pei Zhiyi quickly supported Pei Yun. Pei Yun always cherished his handsome face the most, but now, his handsome face is gone, and his old appearance is frightening.

"Nannan, I think I see your mother..." Pei Yun raised his hand tremblingly. He seemed to see his wife smiling and waving at him. She came to pick him up...

"That's your hallucination!"

Pei Zhiyi looked in the direction Pei Yun pointed, "Do you have to be so cruel? Are you really going to abandon me like this?"

"I'm tired. My daughter must live well."

Pei Yun left his last words, and his raised hand fell down instantly. Pei Zhiyi wanted to catch it but it slipped through his fingers.

"Father……"

Pei Yun's body began to turn into sand, and finally turned into smoke and dissipated in Pei Zhiyi's arms.

"Is this fate?" Pei Zhiyi sneered, tears streaming down his face. "Why should my life be decided by them? Why are all the people around me whom I cherish leaving me... Creator God, damn Creator God!"

Pei Zhiyi slowly stood up and the sword came into her hand.

"My fate should be decided by myself. No one should try to control my destiny!"

Pei Zhiyi wiped away his tears and called his confidant.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to take the initiative when it's time to act. Otherwise, we'll just be stuck in a passive situation, which is very disadvantageous for us. Go gather our own people right now. The Snake Tribe is still consolidating in the rear, and we'll go and test their capabilities."

"Yes!"

The confidant always felt that Pei Zhiyi had suddenly become a little different, and the aura around her was thick and unstable, giving people a feeling that she was powerful but could riot at any time. It was not known whether this was a blessing or a curse... But she was the young lady's confidant, and she only needed to strictly execute the orders given by the young lady.

After gathering the troops, Pei Zhiyi led them directly to the camp where the gods were stationed.

When the servants came to report, Haoyue, who was in Qinghua's tent, was stunned.

"You just came back, and she immediately chased after you. What stimulated her? Or does she want to end it quickly?"

Qinghua shook his head. "Now that she's here, there's no reason for us to avoid a fight."

However, he hasn't told Haoyue about the puppet Shanshan yet.

"Haoyue, there are some things I need to tell you in advance."

"what's up?"

Qinghua hesitated for a moment, carefully considering his words before speaking: "The current condition of Miss Shanshan..."

"Shanshan..." Haoyue smiled bitterly, "She must hate me to death right now, and she must want to skin me alive and tear my tendons apart. But don't worry, I will face what I have to face eventually. After all, I am a member of the God Clan."

"That's not what I meant." Qinghua still felt a little embarrassed to say it. He and Haoyue had been comrades-in-arms for many years. If he said it out loud at this moment, it might really hit him hard.

"You have to be mentally prepared for what's to come. Some things are clearer when you see them with your own eyes."

Haoyue didn't understand why, but thought that since Qinghua said so, he must have his reasons, so he didn't ask any more questions, "Okay."

So, when Haoyue went into battle, he saw with his own eyes the scene where Pei Zhiyi turned a rag doll in her hand into Shanshan. At that moment, his weapon fell directly to the ground and he didn't react for a long time.

"Shanshan..."

The puppet Shanshan looked at Haoyue without any reaction at all. In her heart and mind, there was only her master Pei Zhiyi.

"What happened to her?" Haoyue had some vague guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to believe that the guess was true. "Why did she become like this?"

Pei Zhiyi found it funny, "Are you questioning me?"

"That's not what I meant." Haoyue gritted his teeth, "I just want to know if she is really like I thought she is!"

"That's right, she's already a heartless puppet." Pei Zhiyi laughed arrogantly. Not only did he not take Haoyue seriously, he also completely let himself go. "It's really not easy to deal with you, so I personally refined Shanshan into the most proud work of my life. Look, she's perfect in every way. Add to that your and Qinghua's soul blood, how many people can be her opponent now?"

"Are you still human?" Haoyue's emotions completely collapsed. "She grew up with you. She is your best friend! How could you...how could you turn her into a murderous puppet machine? How could you do this?"
