Time flowed by, and for a hundred years, Qin Hao lived on Earth. Qin Ying also got married and lived on Earth, never leaving.
The family living together felt as simple as before he became a martial artist. Qin Hao also resumed his work on Earth, constantly trying various jobs. Unlike his previous experience during "Transforming into mortality", it was more like traveling through the human world, observing everyone around him from an outsider's perspective.
Each change in perspective brought Qin Hao a new experience. Times were changing, and Earth's technology had undergone significant transformations, but Qin Hao could still see shadows of his previous life, with only the roles being different.
"Uncle, Uncle, I want to go out and play!" Qin Hao was sitting in the living room when a little girl quickly ran over, throwing herself into his arms and whining.
"Okay, Uncle will take you out to play." Qin Hao had no resistance to his little niece; she looked almost identical to Qin Ying when she was little, but more spirited and mischievous.
When Qin Ying was young, Qin Hao's family still lived in an ordinary residential area, struggling for three meals a day, and his parents were busy in the market. Besides studying, Qin Hao spent more time cultivating. Even with limited talent at the time, he persisted and spent a lot of time studying ancient texts and comprehending the cultivation of his mind and nature.
Although he loved Qin Ying very much, his circumstances were very limited, and what he could give her was also very limited.
After Qin Hao became a martial artist, he spent more time in cultivation, and the time he spent with Qin Ying gradually decreased.
More often, it was the little girl on the communicator who kept calling him "Brother, Brother," and each time, she could make Qin Hao relax.
After entering the universe, the time between each meeting became even longer. Even with the existence of the Virtual Universe, Qin Hao's seclusion periods were too long.
There was no fixed time for a powerful cultivator's training; a few years, decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands or tens of thousands of years were very common. Qin Hao was only able to save a lot of time because of the Jiang Lan Realm.
Picking up Qin Yi, Qin Hao walked directly out of Mingyue Community. Qin Hao had no resistance to his niece; he basically granted her every wish.
As for the more extensive teaching, Father Qin, Mother Qin, and Qin Ying were responsible, following Earth's education model. Qin Hao mostly just watched; in his opinion, as long as her personality wasn't twisted or led astray, anything was fine.
As for future cultivation, the resources Qin Hao possessed were entirely sufficient to cultivate Qin Yi into a Venerable-Level powerhouse, giving her a certain degree of self-preservation in the Primordial Universe.
Moreover, Rocas and Qin Ying's genes were not bad to begin with. Under Qin Hao's cultivation, their genetic levels had also reached over 400 times, which was absolutely top-tier among humans and even considered high-grade in the universe.
Qin Yi's genetic level at birth also reached 100 times, so it could be said that she naturally had a certain advantage in cultivation. Qin Hao also began to allocate various resources to Qin Yi when she was young, and now her genetic level has reached 200 times.
Although she was only five years old, her strength had already reached Planetary Level. With the genetic level bonus, even an Astral Rank was not her match.
To a certain extent, Qin Hao was also making up for what his sister lacked in her childhood for his little niece. Whether it was life, cultivation, or various conditions, Qin Hao would not be stingy.
However, Qin Hao did not fully reveal it; he only cultivated her secretly and did not let Qin Yi feel her difference. In Mingyue Community, Qin Yi was just like a normal child, going to school, cultivating, being educated, and playing were all normal states.
In the evening, Qin Hao walked into Mingyue Community with Qin Yi. After a day of playing, Qin Yi showed no fatigue; her small face was instead full of excitement.
"Uncle, next time will you take me again, please?" Qin Yi whined in Qin Hao's arms.
"Okay!" Qin Hao readily agreed and entered the villa.
"Brother, you took her out to play again. Don't always spoil her so much." Seeing Qin Hao return, Qin Ying quickly walked up, wanting to take Qin Yi from Qin Hao's arms, her tone slightly complaining.
"No!" Qin Yi hugged Qin Hao tightly and cried out in a childish voice to Qin Ying.
"Alright, go be with your mom. Next time, Uncle will take you out again." With that, Qin Hao handed Qin Yi to Qin Ying's hands, while also speaking softly to Qin Yi. Qin Yi, who had initially looked wronged, smiled again.
Watching Qin Ying carry Qin Yi away, the corners of Qin Hao's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Every time he returned to Earth, there would always be new insights and a sense of belonging.
This was his home, his family, his imprint in this world. Perhaps this was the meaning of his life; everyone's existence was not just for themselves, but also for their own imprint.
Life was never an individual manifestation; it was every life created by the universe, and every imprint representing one's present, past, and even future.
Qin Hao's aura involuntarily changed, and his entire being seemed to become more approachable. A strong life force erupted from his body, bathing everything around him in this life force, making them feel completely refreshed.
This strong life force quickly enveloped the entire Earth. Under this life force, those with physical injuries recovered quickly. Those without injuries felt their cultivation accelerate and their bodies become lighter, as if they could break through at any moment.
At this moment, Qin Hao had completely entered a state of enlightenment. The Nuwa Diagram in his mind became more spiritual, and its originally obscure aura gradually became clear.
Qin Hao felt that the images he previously couldn't understand at all gradually became less difficult to comprehend, as if the Source of Life was presented before him.
Qin Hao himself had some understanding of the Source of Life, but he had always lingered outside it, never fully stepping in. Now, he finally crossed the threshold, and his understanding of life began to converge, gradually forming a whole.
This whole was extremely tiny for the entire Source of Life and the Dao of Life, but it had already formed a rudimentary framework, allowing Qin Hao to form a certain understanding, no longer being isolated outside the door.
Life is not just cold laws, but also a miraculous evolution. Even the supreme rule, Original Universe Will, and the Dao of Life only expound on the cold side of laws; true understanding still needs to come from the heart, from every living being.
