Abyss Sequence

Chapter 520 520: Final Chapter: My Family

"Thank you all for coming today to attend the wedding between me and my wife, Lan Cuifu."

Wu Zechuan, clad in elegant attire, stood side by side with Lan Cuifu, who wore a red wedding gown, smiling as he recounted their story to the friends, family, and colleagues present.

Originally, they were members of the same warband. However, because of some conflicts, Lan Cuifu left the Mountain and River Warband.

Even so, their relationship remained tenuous and awkward.

Yan Luo and Wang Lingyu sat in the audience, listening to the story Wu Zechuan was telling.

Wang Lingyu nudged Yan Luo's arm and asked in a low voice, "What are your plans for the wedding when we get married in the future?"

"Marriage?" Yan Luo frowned slightly, lost in thought.

Wang Lingyu giggled, "I think it would be interesting to have a separate 'lover's table' when the time comes."

Sasa sighed softly, "Don't make trouble. I don't mind, but Xinyue and your mom will surely not be happy."

After considering it, Wang Lingyu felt it made sense and reluctantly dismissed the idea.

They could be unconcerned, but they needed to consider Min Jinglan's thoughts.

So far, Min Jinglan still didn't know that her daughter had found several lovers for her son-in-law.

"By the way, once the wedding is over, let's go to Celestial Sea City to see the baby!" Wang Lingyu cheerfully mentioned another matter, "Li Xinyue said before that the baby's birth date might be during this period. If we arrive at Celestial Sea City and the baby isn't born yet, we'll stay until the birth and then return."

A year had passed since the battle between Yan Luo and the Evil God, and the day when Yan Luo and Li Xinyue's child would emerge from the artificial womb was fast approaching.

Though not related by blood, it was Yan Luo's child.

Wang Lingyu loved everything about Yan Luo, and even if the child were Yan Luo's with someone else, she would love that child dearly.

At that moment, Wu Zechuan finished briefly recounting the journey from his first meeting with Lan Cuifu to their marriage, and the wedding, attended only by Wu Zechuan's close ones, moved to the lively toasting segment.

After everyone offered their blessings to Wu Zechuan and Lan Cuifu, the banquet began.

This was the most joyful part of the wedding, as everyone loved delicious food.

As hosts of the wedding, Wu Zechuan and Lan Cuifu had to move between tables, engaging in occasional conversations with guests.

"You've been resting for half a year, what are your plans now?"

Wu Zechuan, holding a wine glass, approached Yan Luo's table, poured drinks for Yan Luo and himself, and asked Yan Luo with a smile.

After the battle with the Evil God ended, Yan Luo soon began the Abyss destruction operation, spending half a year destroying all the current Abysses on Blue Star.

After Blue Star's Magic Power environment recovered, mutant creatures living in the wilderness evolved toward becoming Demons, and most Hunters found an even bigger market rather than losing their jobs.

However, Yan Luo happened to be amongst those who were 'unemployed.'

His strength was too formidable, no matter the task, it wasn't challenging, so he became 'unemployed.'

Yan Luo thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't have other plans for now. I've got quite a bit of money on hand. I plan to continue researching Magnetic Field forces and their popularization, and as for other things, I'll think about them later!"

What Yan Luo most wanted to do now was to venture out of Blue Star, destroy the source of the Abyss, and then find the civilization that created the Evil God. If that civilization still existed, he intended to deal with them.

But to do that, he needed great power.

Yan Luo wasn't strong enough yet. He needed to delve further into the study of Magnetic Field forces to elevate his power to the next level.

Wu Zechuan chuckled, raised his glass for a toast, and clinked glasses with Yan Luo.

"All I can do is wish you good luck."

After everyone had eaten and drank their fill, they dispersed, leaving the remaining time to Wu Zechuan and Lan Cuifu as a couple.

Sasa and Julia made excuses about having drunk too much at the feast, leaving Yan Luo in Wang Lingyu's care.

Wang Lingyu and Yan Luo walked hand in hand along the streets of Lingquan City. Yan Luo used Magnetic Field forces to blur others' perceptions of them, allowing them to stroll peacefully without being disturbed by others.

"I can't believe it's only been a bit over two years since we graduated high school."

Looking at the seemingly bustling streets around them, Wang Lingyu couldn't help but laugh, pointing at the street and the advertisements on the high-rise buildings, "Look, these only appeared because of you. If it weren't for you, the exchanges and communications between different regions and cities of Blue Star would not have recovered. Even if Blue Star had the internet, cities would gradually grow distant, and our civilization might have struggled greatly.

"Yan Luo, the fact that Blue Star can develop positively now is mostly thanks to you."

Yan Luo wholeheartedly agreed.

Blue Star now had an uplifting atmosphere once again, and while it couldn't be said that he created it entirely, he certainly contributed significantly.

"So? Lingyu, what are you trying to express?" Yan Luo asked.

Wang Lingyu looked up at Yan Luo's face and softly said, "You've been busy for so long, maybe it's time to take a break."

For others, Yan Luo had seemed to disappear for half a year, likely resting during that time.

But only those close to Yan Luo, like Wang Lingyu, knew he hadn't rested at all, spending his days researching ways to further his powers.

He researched not just his Magnetic Field forces but also helped Yulia study the power of Engraving.

Throughout the past half-year, Yan Luo kept himself busy, as if something were chasing him, not daring to pause.

Besides Yan Luo himself, no one knew why he was so busy.

Yan Luo found it hard to convey his reasons to others.

For the things he was preparing for were too far in the future. Even after several decades or a century, they might not encounter them.

In some ways, Yan Luo was 'borrowing trouble.'

Thus, Yan Luo chose to share everything he knew and speculated with Wang Lingyu.

Regardless of whether she could understand, he would continue his endeavors.

Until the day he was powerful enough to ensure Blue Star's freedom to thrive in this universe.

After hearing Yan Luo's story, Wang Lingyu's head buzzed.

Yan Luo had been preparing for Blue Star's venture into the universe all along...

"But you also need to learn to be a little selfish sometimes," Wang Lingyu knew she couldn't persuade Yan Luo, so she tried a different approach, "you need to relax occasionally."

"Spending time with family is when I'm most relaxed," Yan Luo responded.

Growing up without family, he had longed for familial warmth as he matured.

Fortunately, he now had several family members.

And in the future, there would be more family.

......

"Look, baby, it's Daddy!"

Li Xinyue held Yan Luo's hand as they stood before the artificial womb, watching the little baby quietly floating inside the machine.

The baby in the artificial womb could already open their eyes, this healthy and intelligent child gently tapped the glass before him, gazing quietly at Yan Luo.

Bloop!

Suddenly, the baby smiled.

Seeing the child's demeanor, Yan Luo's expression softened.

Just as he was about to say something, Wang Lingyu squeezed in, "Let me see, let me see!"

Upon witnessing the beautiful little baby in the artificial womb, Wang Lingyu exclaimed, "Wow! No wonder the child has inherited the parents' good looks, they'll surely grow up to be gorgeous."

Sasa and Julia also gathered around, eager to glimpse what Yan Luo's child looked like.

With so many strangers suddenly appearing before him, the baby wasn't scared, but rather amused.

Ding!

The artificial womb emitted a notification sound.

Upon hearing this sound, Li Xinyue approached, along with Wang Lingyu and the others, watching as the amniotic fluid gradually receded within the artificial womb.

When all the amniotic fluid had disappeared, the artificial womb reclined, opening the glass cabin door.

The baby curiously viewed the strange surrounding sight, then felt a shift in perspective, being lifted by his mother.

Once Li Xinyue picked him up, the baby felt the connection of kinship and spontaneously uttered "Mama."

Upon hearing the call, Li Xinyue was moved to tears, entirely different from her usual decisive demeanor.

The baby turned his head and looked at Yan Luo, as if recalling what Li Xinyue had just said.

"Dad... Daddy?"

Yan Luo reached out, gently cradling the baby's hand.

This was my child, my family.

For them, I would declare war against all the universe's dangers.

"Yes, Daddy is here."

(The End)
