Primordial Era: At the beginning, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor invited me to drink beast milk, and

The boy named Qin Hao is about thirteen or fourteen years old this year, almost the same age as Shi Hao.

The timing is too coincidental; it's clear that Shi Ziling and his wife had their second child not long after abandoning Shi Hao.

The sudden appearance of Shi Ziling and his wife must mean they know that Shi Hao has a powerful backer.

Based on Shi Zhongtian's understanding of his son, the couple was most likely after the ransom.

They are probably using the guise of family ties to try and get Shi Hao to speak up and waive the huge ransom.

If it were anyone else who dared to have such an idea, Shi Zhongtian would have already flipped the table and lashed out.

But since it concerns Shi Hao's biological parents, this decision must be left to Shi Hao himself.

After all, they were his parents, and no one could sever that blood relationship.

Standing beside Shi Hao, Qin Yuan's thoughts drifted unconsciously to the scene he had witnessed in his previous life.

Those scenes flashed vividly in his mind, each frame fueling his rage.

That was during the final battle when the gods of the upper realm launched a massive invasion, and Shi Hao single-handedly held them off at the front line.

In that battle, although Shi Hao repelled the enemy, he also suffered irreversible damage.

His life force was visibly draining away, his meridians were shattering inch by inch, and even his supreme bones were cracking.

The situation was extremely critical, and many doctors were at a loss.

Until someone suggested that the immortal bones from Qin Hao's body could be transplanted to save Shi Hao.

This is the only chance to save his life; time is of the essence, and we must act immediately.

However, at this critical juncture of life and death, Shi Ziling and his wife hesitated.

They weren't worried about whether Shi Hao could survive until the transplant was completed, but rather whether Qin Hao would suffer any long-term effects after losing his immortal bones.

They even went to consult several highly respected elders to inquire whether Qin Hao could continue cultivating in the future.

In those few short hours, Shi Hao missed the best time for transplantation.

What followed was even more chilling: they actually sent the dying Shi Hao to Mount Bulao.

As expected, the severely injured Shi Hao lived a life of constant danger on Mount Bulao.

One after another, cultivators coveting his supreme bone attacked, each time worsening his injuries.

Meanwhile, Shi Ziling and his wife could only stomp their feet and sigh from afar, not daring to even approach Mount Bulao.

Ironically, when Shi Hao was really on the verge of death, the couple became anxious.

They sent people to guard Shi Hao's bedside day and night, fearing they would miss the opportunity to inherit the Supreme Bone and the Kunpeng Treasure Technique from him.

What an irony!

In that unchanging time and space, Shi Hao grew up in Xiaohe Village.

Although the villagers there were simple and honest, they genuinely cared for Shi Hao.

These small acts of kindness are far more valuable than what those so-called biological parents have given them.

Even when Shi Hao perished, Qin Yining said she would accompany him in the mortal realm.

But when she heard that Qin Hao and Shi Ziling might be in danger, she immediately broke her promise.

He hurriedly returned to the upper realm, and was never heard from again.

Years later, when Shi Hao was resurrected after many hardships and returned to the upper realm, he was met with an even greater blow.

He personally heard Shi Ziling and his wife proudly introduce their son, Qin Hao, as an unparalleled supreme being born with two supreme bones.

At that moment, Shi Hao stood outside the crowd, watching the proud expressions on the couple's faces.

They seemed to have completely forgotten that one of the two supreme bones should have belonged to their eldest son.

This experience ultimately made Shi Hao see reality clearly.

He resolutely abandoned the path of the Supreme Bone and chose to embark on an unprecedented path of cultivation.

Without the protection of the Supreme Bone, he could only rely on his own perseverance to carve out his own place in the cultivation world step by step.

Shi Hao is unaware of all this and is eagerly awaiting his reunion with his parents.

At this moment, his eyes were full of longing, and he had an innocent smile on his lips. He couldn't imagine what kind of betrayal he would face in the future.

Looking at the innocent and naive Shi Hao beside him, Qin Yuan felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

If Shi Hao knew that his parents, whom he longed for day and night, would pour all their love into their second child, he would be heartbroken.

Qin Yuan gently patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and spoke solemnly.

"No matter what happens, you will always be my brother. No one can change this blood bond."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao assumed that Qin Yuan was saddened by the fact that he had no family.

He quickly grabbed Qin Yuan's hand and said sincerely.

"Brother, don't be sad. My family is your family too. You'll meet my father and mother soon, and they'll definitely like you."

Just as Qin Yuan was about to say something, the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open.

Shi Ziling and Qin Yining led a young man dressed in silver armor into the room.

This is Qin Hao. Even though he is still young, he already has an extraordinary demeanor.

That silver armor was less of a battle suit and more of a meticulously crafted decorative item.

It is inlaid with various gemstones, which sparkle brilliantly in the sunlight.

Shi Hao was visibly stunned when he saw Qin Hao, but he quickly composed himself.

He raised his hand to straighten his slightly tattered clothes, subconsciously hiding the worn cuffs behind his back.

Compared to the meticulously dressed Qin Hao, Shi Hao exuded a rustic charm, with traces of mud and grass still clinging to his clothes.

Shi Ziling strode forward, put his arm around Qin Hao's shoulder, and walked up to Qin Hao with a smile.

"Hao'er, this is your older brother Shi Hao. Quickly call him big brother."

Qin Hao stood still, his gaze sweeping over Shi Hao with unbridled frankness.

His brow furrowed slightly, as if he had some doubts about the identity of the simply dressed boy in front of him.

Seeing this, Qin Yining gently patted Qin Hao's shoulder.

"Hao'er, don't be rude."

Despite this, his tone was very gentle, more like he was coaxing a child.

Shi Hao lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of his clothes, a bitter feeling rising in his heart.

The reunion he had been looking forward to turned into an incredibly embarrassing experience for him.

Standing under the corridor, Shi Zhongtian could no longer contain himself and loudly questioned Shi Ziling about the scene.

"Is this the good son you raised? He doesn't even know the most basic manners, what kind of behavior is this!"

Seeing his grandfather's anger, Qin Hao was not afraid at all; instead, he stood tall in front of his father.

“Grandfather is mistaken. Father has taught him very well. If you want to blame someone, blame Hao’er.”

Shi Ziling patted Qin Hao on the shoulder with satisfaction.

The father and son smiled at each other, creating a heartwarming scene of filial piety.

This scene deeply pierced Shi Hao's heart.

He stood there, feeling like an outsider, out of place.

Qin Yuan stepped forward and put his arm around Shi Hao's shoulder.

His aura suddenly changed, and the entire courtyard seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure.

"There is something I don't understand. Since they are brothers born of the same mother, why does the eldest son have the surname Shi, while the second son has the surname Qin?"
