Tang Ziran spoke in a deep voice, Firstly, its about the research we were performing over there. Actually, there are other research centers similar to ours. We dont know the objective of the research. Thus, I can only surmise based on a limited view.

For more than a decade, weve been engaged in the research of special medicine. Back in the beginning, your mother and I were apothecaries of the Federation. At one point, we were involved in mecha design too. When we were captured, we thought that wed be engaged in the research of mecha design. We only learned that was not the case upon our arrival at this place. Instead, we were tasked with carrying out research on a special medicine, or rather a segment of the medicine. Its potential is in its suppression effect.

Suppression? Tang Wulin was not the only astonished person, even the Holy Spirit Douluo had a surprised look on her face.

Yes, its a type of inhibitor specially made to suppress a humans emotions. The inhibitor is one of the research areas in our center, while there are centers which work on other fields related to mankind. In any case, I believe that the research in our center is the most successful. The inhibitor proved to be very effective, but it was not targeted at humans. Humans cant withstand its impact for its effect was too powerful. If it were applied to humans, it would strip the humans of all emotions turning them into the living dead. Only those extremely powerful soul beasts could possibly survive the inhibitors and overcome the emotional suppression.

The Spirit Pagodas research could possibly be targeted at some especially powerful soul beasts. This is all that I know. They took all the formulas, but they didnt expect me to memorize them all. Tang Wulin, take note.

Father, dont speak anymore. Please allow Her Excellency to treat you first, pleaded Tang Wulin in a sad voice.

Quick, dont be silly. Dont you think I know Im reaching the end of my life? Although I dont know the Spirit Pagodas purpose in using the inhibitor, Im certain that its important. Moreover, this is the hard labor which your mother and I, including the numerous research staff, have put in for over a decade. You cant just let it go to waste. I believe that it would have useful applications. With the formula available, you can apply it accordingly in the future.

Alright... Tang Wulin clenched his teeth and retrieved a pen and paper from his soul storage tool.

Tang Ziran sounded like he was short of breath as he spoke to Lang Yue by his side, My dear, please help me if I missed out anything. Wulin, lets begin. The ingredients for the medicine are...

He spoke quickly. It was apparent that these ingredients had already been seared into his mind. First, it was the ingredients, then it was followed by the formula. He spoke as rapidly as a machine gun. Although Tang Wulin did not understand, he captured his fathers words at full speed.

More sweat appeared on the Holy Spirit Douluos forehead. It was not due to the overconsumption of her soul power, but a sign that her control had reached its limits.

Tang Zirans and Lang Yues conditions were truly weak. Hence, she needed to use her force to neutralize the force from the Blood Demons Killing Curse in their bodies. Otherwise, if there were an imbalance of the forces in their bodies, it would result in instant deaths for both of them.

... Alright, thats all. Tang Wulin exhaled a breath of relief. When he was finally done dictating, Tang Wulin had written a full page dense with words.

Father, please take a rest. Rest for a moment. Tang Wulin clenched his teeth in an attempt to stop his tears from wetting the paper in his hand. He had been holding back his tears all along.

Dont cry, child. Life and death are decreed by fate. A man must die anyhow. Its the law of nature that no one can violate. Your mother and I are contented for having such a filial son like you in this lifetime. I heard that youre in Shrek Academy, and Im certain that youve your achievements. What a pity that I dont have time to listen to your stories. Please tell us your experiences before our graves when were gone. Wed love to hear more.

Father. Tang Wulin could not control himself anymore as tears streamed down his face.

Tang Ziran waved his hand at Tang Wulin. Theres also another thing which is equally important. Initially, your mother and I didnt wish to talk about this matter. Its because we cant bear to part with you.

At this point, a hint of agony appeared on his expression. He turned his head to the side to look at his wife. Lang Yue did not speak but nodded gently toward him.

Tang Ziran took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind. He said, Actually, youre not our begotten son.

Huh? Tang Wulins tears paused momentarily when he heard his fathers declaration.

Tang Ziran spoke with a bitter smile, Your mother and I had hoped to have a son like you so much! You were such an obedient child. You were willing to work hard, and you had a persistent will. You were the most outstanding child Id ever seen in my life. It may be because youre our son, but youve always been perfect in our hearts. You were so young then, yet you remained unyielding despite encountering a defective spirit soul. Im especially proud of you for behaving as such. However, I need to tell you now that youre not our begotten son. Your mother became infertile after she was accidentally infected while she was carrying out some research on medicines when she was young. You were a child we came across in the wilderness during our outing once.

At the moment when we took you, we heard a voice vaguely telling us your name, Tang Wulin. We happen to have the same surname.

Lang Yue continued, You were especially cute when you were young with your large eyes. You had a fair complexion, and your skin felt smoother than silk. You were always cheerful and never cried. You were especially obedient. We made the decision to adopt you the moment I held you. In our hearts, you were a gift bestowed by the heavens. You were our blessings. Her voice was gentle while her eyes turned teary soon after. It seemed as if she had drifted back to the days gone by.

Tang Ziran spoke, We took you home. We already felt that you were different from the other children at the time. In reality, you got sick frequently when you were young. Most times, you had a fever which lingered for days on end. There were even times when we felt like you were going to... However, you managed to pull through each time. Furthermore, you became more robust and lively afterward.

Lang Yue spoke, When you were young, you had quite an appetite which wasnt like the appetites of other children. We devoted ourselves to medicine preparation and mecha design which was why we had to work very hard. Whenever we came home and saw you, you made us feel contented and happy. You were our spiritual sustenance. In fact, it never felt like you were not our begotten son.

Tang Ziran spoke, You were left all alone in this world when we found you. You werent even swaddled, but I was certain that we heard the voice telling us the origins of your name. Perhaps, your parents were not ordinary people. If not for the fact well be gone soon, we would continue to keep this secret. Its because we are unwilling to part with you. Yet, were going to leave this world soon. I dont wish for you to be alone in this world. Knowing this, you can go look for your biological parents. The only clue we have is the voice, that mentioned your name, was from an area inland. However, we heard the sound of mighty waves in the background. The voice was filled with a heavy reluctance to part with you.

Blood-stained tears flowed down Lang Yues eyes. Yes! Son, go and look for your biological parents. Youre so outstanding that they probably left you because they had no choice. I believe that they miss you all this while, and they are looking for you too. You still have another family in this world. Youll never be lonely.

Tang Zirans body began to shiver. The white radiance on his body was interwoven with the blood-colored radiance. His voice trembled but his gaze was still fixated on Tang Wulin. Son, Im reluctant to part with you... If ever theres a next life, I hope that the heavens will bestow you as a son to me.

Similar changes began to appear on Lang Yues body. If theres a next life, well never leave you. Were even willing to exhaust all our resources to have you as our son.

Tang Ziran inhaled a deep breath strenuously. Son, dont be sad for us. Your mother and I still have each other. We wont be lonely. Were just worried about you. You and your mother are the people I love the most in this life. We hope that you can stay happy always. It has been over a decade and youve already suffered too much. Were ashamed that we couldnt provide you with a warm family during this time. Son, remember this. If you truly miss us and you truly want us to be happy in death, then, you must live happily for yourself too.

Wulin, Mother is reluctant to part with you...

Freeze! The Holy Spirit Douluo shouted aloud all of a sudden. A dazzling white radiance bloomed from the eight-winged angel who stood behind her. The color on Tang Zirans and Lang Yues bodies faded instantaneously. Their bodies froze over as they transformed into two statues which were pure white as snow.

Father, Mother! Tang Wulin cried out in sorrow. The vision before his eyes darkened, and he lost consciousness in the next moment.
