After fifteen years of separation, the gazes of mother and son met at this moment, clearly recognizing each other.
Ji Qingqing looked at the handsome youth, was this truly the son she had given birth to?
She felt a bit dazed, it had been so many years, had the child from the swaddles really grown this much?
In a Divine Power State, no wonder he had become the pride of the Ji Family…
Large tears flowed from her eyes as she covered her mouth, her heart tearing apart like being cut by knives.
“It’s too late, push it away!”
The others, seeing Qiu Tian Dao being pulled and falling askew, were all shouting in alarm and anger.
They all surged forward, pushing towards the Abyss Sky Stele.
But this time, Ji Qingqing just covered her mouth and took no action.
Li Hao, who was desperately climbing upward, saw this scene and was stunned.
Why… not stop them?

His thoughts seemed to pause for a moment, but in the next instant, he suddenly came to his senses, and in a panic, rapidly summoned the Merit Treasure Vault.
A golden light swiftly emerged from the Gold Paper in his palm, and Li Hao quickly chose to exchange for an opportunity to defy fate.
Soon, ten thousand points of merit decreased.
He felt a strange power surge into his body, tried releasing it, and this power also flowed out of his body.
It was an extremely peculiar sensation, neither like Qi Force nor like immortal power, but some indescribable feeling.
When that Life-Defying Power was lost, Li Hao hurriedly looked towards the being-pushed Abyss Sky Stele.
Yet he saw the group still pushing, and the Abyss Sky Stele had been pulled out without any accident occurring.
That woman was still kneeling, without taking any action.
He suddenly thought of an issue, and instantly felt a chilling realization from head to toe.
Ji Yun Ge had mentioned that in the Tao Comprehension Realm, one could obscure the heavens, preventing those in the Defying Fate Realm from exerting a chance to defy fate, and in this abyss’s special laws, even the Dao Domain couldn’t be applied, so that defying power… probably was also shielded.
That is to say, defying fate was ineffective.
Bang!
The Abyss Sky Stele was finally pulled out and was thrust down flying.
The chain under Li Hao’s feet, suddenly going from taut straightness to slack.
He stretched his hand upward with all his might, but the entire chain had lost its supportive strength, falling along with the Abyss Sky Stele.
He raised his palm high, the blood-red Twin Flowers in it radiant and vivid, but never had the chance again to make it to that island.
Li Hao stared blankly at the falling Abyss Sky Stele, seeing that woman suddenly rise and rush towards another direction; following her running path, he saw on the other side of Qiu Tian Dao, about ten miles from the island, two figures were climbing upward.
One he recognized.
The other he recognized too.
Was it him?
Li Hao was stunned.
Suddenly, it was as if everything came clear to him.
Just like fifteen years ago, when the Imperial Command entered the Divine General Mansion, that woman had released the hundred-day-old baby from the swaddles, donned her armor, and joined her husband, heading to a battlefield tens of thousands of miles away.
Now, fifteen years later.
She had made the same choice…
The colossal Abyss Sky Stele smashed down directly upon him, striking his face, his nose, his body, and blood violently sprayed…
His entire body was heavily smashed downwards, the Twin Flowers in his hand loosened, petals shaken off like broken butterfly wings, slowly drifting in the air.
With the fall of the Abyss Sky Stele, Li Hao seemed to lose all strength, his body being pulled downwards, dropping directly into the mouth of the Demon Saint.
He made a desperate run past the Demon Saint’s tentacles but couldn’t dodge the massive stele smashing down from above.
The tentacles that had grabbed the chains, now all swung towards him.
And with the loss of the Abyss Sky Lock’s restraint, Qiu Tian Dao, like a bird spreading its wings, immediately soared, its inherent rising laws pulling along the remaining Abyss Sky Lock, quickly shifting from a steep seventy degrees to a vertical ninety degrees.
Bang!
The thick chain and Abyss Sky Stele, carrying Li Hao’s body, fell into the abyss.
