"Dad, kidding, I was just joking with you."

Tang Xiaobai covered his ear with one hand, while still clutching the feathers of a Phoenix many times larger than his own body with the other hand.

"Joking with me? You went missing and told your grandpa not to tell me?"

Tang Xiaobai thought Tang Rao knew nothing, but unexpectedly, he knew everything clearly.

He knew very well what he did right and what he did wrong.

"Wasn't I worried that you'd be so angry you'd harm yourself, and thought I'd wait until you calmed down before returning? Who knew you'd get so frantic?"

What did Tang Xiaobai mean, was he saying Tang Rao's concern for him was unnecessary?

"What's going on with the Big Phoenix, shouldn't you give your old man an explanation?"

For example, how did its feathers come off, and also how a child like Tang Xiaobai could subdue such a giant creature?

"Godfather told me not to say anything, saying if this thing appeared in the Divine Realm, the whole place would be in chaos."

What in the Divine Realm could cause chaos? Tang Rao was completely baffled.

Yan Wei used to tell Tang Rao everything, how did it come to this point and Tang Rao realized the topics between him and Yan Wei were fewer than those between Yan Wei and Tang Xiaobai?

"So, were the places you visited known to your godfather as well?"

When Tang Xiaobai disappeared, Tang Rao first approached Yan Wei to help find him. At that time, Yan Wei told Tang Rao his technology wasn't mature enough to locate Tang Xiaobai, and Tang Rao really believed it. But now he realized that it was not a matter of technology; Yan Wei was providing Tang Xiaobai an excuse, allowing Tang Xiaobai to go out alone, considering it a chance for himself to gain experience.

Tang Xiaobai had the Illusion City. At the time, he was overly concerned and didn't realize that the signal from Illusion City could actually cover the entire Divine Realm. As long as Tang Rao accessed Illusion City, he could find Tang Xiaobai, but in searching for his child, he completely forgot about Illusion City.

"My godfather knew just a tiny bit, don't blame him, it's all my fault. And isn't this also because I wanted to try the thing godfather gave me to see if it's useful? The Phoenix came looking for me, which is a rare opportunity for revenge, you know."

Tang Xiaobai, so young, harbors more hatred than anyone else, which is not beneficial for his development. If he didn't know that this was his son, he wouldn't bother to care so much.

"What did your godfather give you? Do you realize what kind of existence the Phoenix is? What if you didn't act first, and it preemptively took action? Would you end up losing your life due to recklessness and negligence?"

Tang Xiaobai was spoiled growing up, and Tang Rao never obstructed any of his hobbies; he was free to do whatever he wanted, as long as Tang Rao could support it, he always supported him. But the prerequisite for doing these things was that Tang Xiaobai's safety needed to be one hundred percent guaranteed.

Only with guaranteed safety does he have the right to talk about what his dreams are.

"I haven't, I've always listened to Dad saying to cherish life, you can rest assured."

Saying this, Tang Xiaobai took out something like a syringe from his bag as if showing off a treasure, and Tang Rao, after one glance, immediately felt alarmed.

"What is this?"

Medicines, syringes, these things are very common on Blue Star; you can find them in every hospital. The key question is what is inside the syringe, that's what's important.

"Godfather said this is something he newly invented, and also said he's researched it secretly for three years without telling you."

What, is this true? Three years, what could take Yan Wei three years to research?

Tang Rao took the syringe, and as soon as he held it in his hand, Tang Xiaobai shouted to be careful. Only then did Tang Rao notice that the syringe was clearly filled with liquid, but then it was evidently a bunch of tiny worms, each worm close to each other, forming a small group, which then became a large cluster, its disgusting appearance made Tang Rao's skin crawl.

"Don't tell me these are bacteria your godfather researched."

What Yan Wei made better not be what Tang Rao was thinking, this guy should not be a person with a dark psychological disposition.

However, the contents of the syringe were too striking, and if he hadn't seen so many Wuluo Country war films, he might not have recognized them after one or two attempts.

"You've seen this stuff?"

If not, how would he know what they are?

Tang Xiaobai hadn't been to Wuluo Country, definitely didn't know how powerful the so-called bacteria were.

"Dad, godfather said this is the world's most powerful weapon, once someone is harmed by this thing, then that person's basically ruined. Not just people, the entire Divine Realm can be ruined."

Tang Xiaobai, full of enthusiasm when speaking, even clapped his hands, feeling like the greatest hero in the world.

But he wasn't really a hero, he wasn't quite sure himself.

As long as things were applicable, he considered them good.

"Do you know how the country where your godfather and I were from originally regressed?"

Tang Rao didn't scold Tang Xiaobai, but sat down somewhere and started explaining the truths to him.

"How did it regress?"

Tang Xiaobai took on the role of a curious child, greatly interested in everything related to Blue Star.

"Just because of these little things."

Recalling the dreadful bacterial war from those years, the iron-hearted Tang Rao couldn't help but feel troubled.

"Back then Wuluo Country attacked our country, harmed our people, and caused us to lose countless innocent lives."

Although Tang Rao hadn't experienced that war himself, just thinking about it seemed cruel and bloody.

Knowing people possess hearts and emotions, it takes enormous courage to accept family members dying one by one, due to their organs being corroded by bacteria, rotting bit by bit from inside out until they draw their last breath.

Tang Rao couldn't.

Even seeing an innocent life harmed like that, he felt utterly distressed, let alone tens of thousands dying in that bacterial warfare, becoming sacrificial victims in territorial power struggles.

"Dad, are the people who possess this kind of stuff bad?"

Listening to Tang Rao's description made Tang Xiaobai feel sick.

"Not necessarily bad, just don't want you to become the next bad guy, don't want you to have blood on your hands because of these things."

Everything Tang Rao did was for Tang Xiaobai.

His hands were stained with blood, with hopes of giving Tang Xiaobai a good future, rather than letting him walk the same path as him.

"Dad, I've had my revenge, and gained quite a lot of benefits from the Phoenix, keeping this thing is useless to me, so I'll leave it to you."
