Chapter 1169 The Past and the Present

Soon, he arrived at the door of his home.

Ding Hao was a little restrained and a little nervous.

“Uncle Ding, Auntie, open the door. Brother Hao is back,” Xiao Xiaoxiao said loudly and ran over to knock on the door.

A familiar voice came from inside. “The door is not locked. Just open it. I’m busy.”

!!

It was Ding Hao’s father’s voice.

For a moment, Ding Hao’s eyes were slightly wet. He thought that he could no longer hear this voice. Even though more than 60 years had passed, it still sounded familiar and made him have an impulse to cry.

Xiao Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as Ding Hao stepped across the threshold, he heard a familiar sound coming from the living room. In addition to the sound of typing on the keyboard, there was also a long and exaggerated prompt of “DOUBLE-KILL” coming from the subwoofer. He saw a man with messy hair and an unshaved beard sitting in front of the computer, dancing with joy and laughter.

On the computer screen was the most popular game, the Heroes’ League.

The unshaven man was Ding Shen, Ding Hao’s father on Earth. He was originally the captain of the urban management team of Fengling District in the city. Later, because of an injury during a business trip, he was allowed to rest at home. He received his salary regularly and had nothing to do at home. Some time ago, he was obsessed with computer games and was a crazy fan of the Heroes’ League.

“Hey, Xiaoxiao, you’re here. It’s been a long time since you last came to taste my wife’s cooking.” Ding Shen turned his head and said hello to the young girl next door. Then, he glanced at Ding Hao and said, “You’re finally back. You said that you were going on a trip. It’s been almost two months. If you come back later, you won’t even be able to make it to the enrollment of university.”

Ding Hao forced a smile, not knowing what to say.

He noticed that Ding Shen’s expression was extremely natural when he said that. He made it like Ding Hao had really gone on a normal trip and had not disappeared for two months. “The thing is, I clearly remember that my soul time-traveled there. So, in this world, my body has been dead for a long time. Doesn’t my dad know it?”

A charming woman came out of the kitchen. When she saw Ding Hao, she said very naturally, “Hey? Hao, you’re back? Go wash your hands and have lunch. This morning, your dad and I have been playing the game, and we both got trapped. My rank dropped to Level Three…” Then, she greeted Xiao Xiaoxiao and invited her to stay for lunch.

The woman was Ding Hao’s mother, Chen Qingyu.

Like Ding Shen, Chen Qingyu didn’t have to go to work. She had several shops under her name. She earned enough by charging rent. She was very leisurely and was also obsessed with the Heroes’ League. When Ding Hao stayed up late to study hard for the college entrance examination, the couple had also been staying up late to play matches to get higher ranks.

Ding Hao did not see anything unusual on Chen Qingyu’s face.

Xiao Xiaoxiao told her parents about it back at her house and then happily stayed for a free meal. She kept asking Ding Hao all kinds of questions about his trip. Ding Hao answered casually. During the meal, his eyes had been looking at his parents’ faces, and he did not notice anything unusual.

After lunch, Xiao Xiaoxiao went back to get her homework done.

Ding Hao saw her out and then closed the door.

“Go wash the dishes. Your dad and I need to play two rounds now…” Chen Qingyu patted Ding Hao on the back of his head, and then the couple sat in front of the computers in the living room and began to form teams.

Ding Hao was speechless for a while.

After he ran his power a bit, a weak force surged out and pulled out the plugs in the socket.

The screens of the computers immediately darkened.

“Hey, boy, how dare you pull off my plug after coming back from a trip?” Ding Shen teased with a chuckle. He glanced at the socket and the plug, which had been pulled off, was immediately inserted back in the socket.

Ding Hao was instantly stunned.

At that moment, he felt a clear wave of Qi.

“Hee hee, our little guy seems to have understood something.” Chen Qingyu waved her hand, and a glass of watermelon juice on the coffee table in the distance flew over lightly and landed in her hand. She took a sip leisurely.

It was another clear and solid wave of Qi.

Ding Hao opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

“It turns out that my parents have really mastered Qi. They are really… really not ordinary people. The ability to master Qi should not belong to the living creatures on Earth. That is to say…” Ding Hao had completely confirmed his previous guess by now.

“Haha, why do you look so startled? Haven’t you guessed it?” Chen Qingyu looked at Ding Hao and laughed out loud. Then, she turned to Ding Shen and said, “I remember that our child is not a fool. Why did he become foolish after we sent him to the world of the Heaven Path?”

“Just leave it. This round is about to start. Come and assist me…” said Ding Shen.

Ding Hao was speechless.

“Oh my god, my dear father, don’t be so funny at this time. Let’s take a seat and make things clear first.”

Now Ding Hao seemed to understand a little bit about the words “Fight for the Tower” engraved on the Sky-fleeing Stone Key. His father was crazy and obsessed with the game. “Thank God he didn’t carve ‘The Enemy will Arrive in 30 Seconds Crush Them’ on the back of the Sky-fleeing stone key.”

Ding Shen was Ding Shengtan.

Chen Qingyu was Yu Qingcheng.

Ding Hao’s parents on Earth were actually his parents in the Land of Divine Grace.

That was to say, Ding Hao on Earth and the sweeping servant of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in the Land of Infinity were actually the same person.

This series of discoveries made Ding Hao a little dumbfounded.

“Haha, it seems that this silly boy has understood something.” A cigarette fell out of Ding Shen’s mouth. He laughed and frantically clicked on the mouse and keyboard in his hands. With his cultivation and reaction ability, he could definitely achieve speed and reaction faster than professional players. But obviously, he did not use Qi when he played the game.

“The other party has used up their flash skills. Get ready to fight. Kill if you can. Go back to the city to update your equipment if you can’t kill them…” Chen Qingyu said without raising her head.

Ding Hao did not know how to react or what to say.

Ding Shengtan was the genii Divine Prince who had been admired and worshipped by countless people as the commander of millions of soldiers, and Yu Qingcheng was the No. 1 Fairy on the Eastern Continent of the Land of Divine Grace. They were both peerless geniuses from the Land of Divine Grace. But now, why did they become so goofy? They were completely immersed in the game, and Ding Shen left his beard unshaven.

Ding Hao could only quietly wait for them to finish a round.

He had been quietly adjusting himself.

Perhaps Ding Shen and Chen Qingyu were deliberately making time by playing games to let Ding Hao slowly adapt to everything he discovered today.

Fifty minutes later, a loud prompt of failure came from the subwoofer.

“Damn it, there was a trap… Okay, it seems that it’s time for us to have a good talk with you.” Ding Shen’s face darkened. He washed his face, lit a cigarette, and pulled a stool over. He sat down and said with a smile, “But before that, my good son, let’s talk about your life experience in that world first. There’s a saying in this world about the Celestial Court – ‘one day in the heavens makes it one year in the mortal world’. In fact, the speed of time between the Human Path and the Heaven Path is exactly the opposite. One day in the Human Path makes it one year in the Heaven Path. In that case, more than 60 years have passed in those two worlds. A lot of things must have happened. Tell us all about that.”

Chen Qingyu was sitting aside.

Ding Hao nodded and told them everything that had happened after he had time-traveled to the Land of Infinity. He told them everything in detail, big or small.

Two hours passed by the time he was done talking.

“Well, for the time being, it seems to be similar to what I expected. The only thing I didn’t expect is that your strength has improved so much. Not bad, not bad.” Ding Shen, who was also Ding Shengtan, nodded in satisfaction.

...

“Hao, when will you bring our four good daughters-in-law and your little granddaughter Tianshuang over? Haha.” Chen Qingyu, who was Yu Qingcheng, was completely focusing on another aspect.

“What the hell is going on?” Ding Hao finally couldn’t help but ask, “Who am I? That time I traveled through time and space…”

Ding Shengtan puffed out a big smoke ring and said with a smile, “You are who you are. Your time travel was naturally arranged by your mother and me… Do you think you time-traveled with your soul? Haha, you’re wrong. You were sent to the Land of Infinity with your body. The reason why you felt possessed was that Ding Hao, who was left in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, was actually just a mysterious entity-body. He was one of the pawns that I had set up for a long time. When the time came, your real body arrived in the Land of Infinity, and that entity-body naturally dissipated while his memory became yours. You thought that you had integrated with his body. But in fact… Haha, that body is still yours. It’s just that you have obtained another memory in your head.”

Ding Hao was stunned.

After thinking about it carefully, he found that what Ding Shengtan told him was indeed ambiguous.

Perhaps it was because when he woke up at that time, he suddenly found that he had come to another world full of miracles in a strange environment. There was another memory in his mind, so he instinctively thought that his soul had transmigrated into a body of a young man who looked very similar to him.

It turned out that all of this had been planned by his parents.

“But why did you choose to send me to the Land of Infinity at that time?” Ding Hao was still a little confused.

Yu Qingcheng held Ding Hao’s hand with a smile. With a hint of love and concern, she said, “Because it was time. Your dad and I did everything we could, but we were still no match for the disaster. We can only hide here, but it’s not a good idea to keep hiding. One day, the six paths will gather again and there will be a new opportunity, and that power will wake up. When the destructive dark power really masters the six paths, you, me, and your dad, as well as living creatures in the Land of Infinity, the Land of Divine Grace, Earth, and all the other paths will all die.”
