Thousands of years pass by in a dream.

Xue Tie gets up from bed as he turns his divine gaze away from the Douluo Continent. Losing interest in it fast as it changes beyond what he expected. Originally, the Shrek Seven Devils with the exception of Tang San would have stayed as sea pillars for much longer before Tang San helped them ascend but now. Due to his own actions, all members turned out to be far more talented, especially with the support of his organization. As for Tang San himself, he, like all who possess the cultivator spirit, only thrive under adversity and so without Spirit Hall and the remnants of the Angel clan going into hiding for a hundred years like he proclaimed.

He completely hit a wall in his process, but his greatest mistake was to settle down for his new Tang clan. By abandoning his adoration and desire to Xiao Wu, he has truly abandoned his own spirit and created a heart devil that blocks him at limit douluo. Maybe one of his children might ascend to godhood but he will never have that opportunity.

Xue Tie shakes his head of the repercussions of his own actions as he exits his home. He finds himself in a nice little park that Bibi Dong had him manifest through his dream abilities. There he finds the mother and daughter of Xiao Wu and Xiao Ha sitting together, or more like Xiao Wu napping on her mothers lap. It took some time for Xiao Wu to finally get over the loss of Tang San. He may not be dead but he skewered her heart nonetheless.

Xiao Wu regularly visits the goddess of life as well as the goddess of Kindness for some comfort. They try to convince her that maybe finding a new lover would be good for her. The initial proposal was for Xue Tie himself but he declined as he was happily married but he might know someone who would truly love her. He simply asks her to wait as the person hasn't been born yet. This greatly confuses the rabbit family as how can he know someone who would be suitable if they're not alive yet. Then they remember that he is essentially the manager for the river of souls set for reincarnation. So he might have seen an interesting soul and allowed it to keep its memories or perhaps even blessed it so that it could be worthy of her.

Xue Tie doesnt confirm nor deny their suspicions as he has a wry smile on his face as he leaves them be and heads further into the park. He soon faces a minor collision as a small girl collides into his legs at a fast speed.

"DADDY, you're finally awake. Me and mom have been making sanwiches."The young girl quickly speaks and stutters the word for sandwich as she tries to drag his hefty body with her.

"Sorry my little snow, I was busy with work" He says picking up his daughter as they go over to the picnic area the beautiful mother, Bibi Dong had reserved.

Due to the beauty of the land, multiple gods had asked Xue Tie to set up parks for them too, or at least gardens to add a bit more variety to their lives. But for now, Xue Tie sets his daughter, Xue Renxue [1]down and she jumps over to her mother who is in her late stage pregnant again. She has beat up on Xue Tie quite a bit about that but she has been told that a pregnancy started in the divine realm is much faster than a mortal one that becomes divine. That is her only relief in not utterly beating Xue Tie up for his impregnation fetish.

The three spend some lovely time together before two draconic roars break through the air. Xue Tie gets a tingling of recognition but he does nothing about it yet.

The golden dragon king and the Silver dragon king, the two shards of the dragon god have ascended at the same time in hopes of properly merging in the divine realm to regain their glory. Now, originally, it was just the golden dragon king but Xue Tie had helped the silver dragon recover from her injuries which were actually caused by Shade and disguised as Asura as part of the corrupted history.

Yet once both sides arrived here, they were assaulted by their bloodline memories from when the dragon god was still alive. The golden dragon king is immersed in his rage at Shade for destroying all he worked for as well as killing members of his family, the other dragon kings. While the silver dragon king is immersed in her grief of betrayal, loss and kindness from trying to preserve the lives of the remaining divine beings. Weakening Shade enough that it could not corrupt it and strangely enough, didn't bother corrupting the seed of energy that Xue Tie gave to her during his mortal times. He likely assumed that he was going to win regardless and didn't bother to corrupt her then.

She only breaks out of her emotional turmoil by the death seed in her giving her new memories. Showcasing her the events of what happened when Xue Tie ascended. What he learned of the real history and Shades death which quells her own sparks of rage but the same can't be said for the golden dragon king who begins to rampage and almost even kills the silver king but is stopped just in time by Poseidon, Asura and the shrek seven (including Dugu Yan who replaced Tang San) in sealing the mad draconic beast.

"Oh death king, where is the promised happiness for me that you so claimed when you helped me recover." The silver dragon king's woeful tone makes the surrounding gods turn to Xue Tie who has just arrived. Bibi Dong is holding Xue RenXue in her arms. Both have worried expressions on their faces while Xue Tie steps forward. He caresses the draconic face of the silver king before saying, "That time has not come yet. It is not destined yet. Please become mortal once more and sleep. Rest and recover yourself and find the golden king just for you" His words soft, like a lullaby as her eyelids drop and she falls asleep.

As for the golden king, he is still rampaging against his chains and all the gods here have half a mind to just put the rageful half down but Xue Tie proposes to seal the dragon within his children who would live a mortal life and properly gain their own divinities. The other gods seem to nod at this novel idea while Bibi Dong starts to get angry at the implication while Renxue herself is confused over what they are saying since she is barely 4 years old now.

"Dong'er, please spend some time with our little snow, it will be some time before we see her again in person." His mental communication to Bibi Dong is the final straw that breaks the camel's back as she runs away with Renxue while crying. Xue Tie also has a visibly saddened expression at having to have his kids replace whatever bullshit fate that was reserved for Tang San and his family.

Asura speaks up at this moment, "best to hurry, one of the golden kings' breaths had struck the god ascension platform created by the original dragon god. Its energy is causing the Divine Plane to destabilize and so it is likely that after 30 or so years, we will be detached from the douluo world.

"Damn, ok. Ill talk to Dong'er so we can get this done quickly. The sooner my daughter descends, the sooner she returns to us.`` He curses as he flies off towards Bibi Dong who is playing with Renxue, tears still in her eyes but Renxue is happily playing as she enjoys the full attention of her mother. "Ah daddy," Renxue calls out in surprise which cause Bibi Dong to lower her head

"I saw the damage, how much time do we have before we leave the continent?" Bibi Dong gruffly questions, her eyes bloodshot over the idea of separating from both her daughter and unborn child.

Xue Tie hugs her and says "I'm sorry, we only have 30 years, it is likely renxue will come back to us a beautiful young woman but our child will be away from us for quite some time. We will have to fight hard to return to this world." Tears fall down her face from his words before she reluctantly nods, handing over Renxue to Xue Tie who flies back to the golden dragon king.

Xue Tie summons his draconic martial spirit in sword form and coats it in death before giving a cut and slicing off 10% of the golden dragon kings power before creating a seal around it before merging it into Renxue's body. The strange surge of energy makes her tired. She collapses in Xue Tie's arms as he whispers to her.

"I'm sorry little snow, when you next wake up, you won't remember us. You will live a mortal life, far from our love, yet ever so close to our hearts. You will remember once you are ready. But do not worry, I shall prepare a guardian for my baby girl. You may hate him, or love him, that is your choice. But just do not reject his help, he holds my best intentions for you and will protect you at risk of his own life. I pray for the day of your return. Go kick the worlds ass baby" he tries to end his little speech on a high note but it's slightly awkward as he coats her body in dream and death energy to protect her on her journey down to the Douluo continent. He seals her memories to prevent her from being haughty or arrogant while claiming her family are gods. He sends her as a gift to one of his many followers who struggle to get their own child. He blesses them with his own and then heads over to the shard of death crystal which he formed as a proper communication system to his organization.

Once back at home, he finally enacts his idea that he had been saving up for some time now. The guardian, the soul of his old life. That was before Xue Tie, reborn.

"Progress report"

****************************************

[1]: yes I copied Qian Renxue's name which was Bibi Dong's original daughter's name. So Ren is supposed to = 'Fathom' and the xue of Renxue is supposed to be 'snow'. So, her name is quite literally Blood Fathomed Snow from a translated perspective but it can also mean Xue Families little Snow. kind of like Tang Wutong is the Tang family's little phoenix from the original story.

I'm sure yall have questions about why did the silver dragon king take so long to ascend if she was already properly healed. It's because the golden dragon king was afflicted with a similar injury as hers and she couldn't give the seed away to help him recover, so she was gathering energy for him to recover faster or at least so his condition didn't relapse at all while he built up energy to fight off the corrosive energies of the wound. I'm essentially bullshitting my way to maintain canon timelines of 10k years.

Now as a final author message, I wish to thank everyone to joining me in my time of making this story. It has been a long time since this story was released. From my original mistake with posting this story as a novel and then moving it to the current fanfic story. To the whole 125 chapters of this story.

The next story i will be working on will be my danmachi idea but i may change a few details I had revealed beforehand when i did the little surveys for which story to do next.

I do have a few bleach chapters but i didn't like how they ended up except the first, so i will post those tomorrow as the first actual and 2 auxiliary chapters. Since ill be remaking the story after the 1st chapter. I didn't like how it turned out and don't have the motivation to work on it. Maybe if my update schedule was longer than 2 days it would have been possible for me to multitask my danmachi and bleach book but that's not my style. Ill just be lazy the extra days and still panic to release the standard chapter.

But as an extra reward for you all who have read this story and expect an SL 2 story, know that Miquella, blade of millenia will be the martial spirit focus for the reborn original soul. It will also be a system novel as much as i personally dislike using them heavily.

I will be taking a week to start the new danmachi story so i can have 2-3 chapters on the back end if i fall behind in my writing style at all or want to do a mass release for the first day. So keep this story in your libraries as ill release a false chapter here to tell yall when I start. Or you can pin my new story once i actually make the page which ill get on once i publish this chapter.
