Chapter 340: Chapter 339: Mother’s Love is the GreatestFacing the sudden deterioration of Xiao Ya’s mother’s illness, Ye Tianchen also felt helpless. Having secured the help of Divine Doctor Ghost Hand Zhang Yide, a rare Healing Ability User among superpower users and arguably the most skilled doctor in the world today, if even he couldn’t save Xiao Ya’s mother, it was likely that no one else could turn the tide. The fragments of the Dragon Marrow Pill had all been administered by Xiao Ya to her mother. Firstly, because the efficacy of the medicine had diminished after administration, and secondly because the pill was originally fragmented and incomplete, its medicinal properties were inherently weak. Moreover, having been stored for ten years, its potency had almost entirely diminished. If there had been a complete Dragon Marrow Pill for Xiao Ya’s mother, it might have extended her life by decades, but sadly, that was nothing but wishful thinking. It was definitely impossible to find another Dragon Marrow Pill on Earth since even the Dragon Marrow Grass was nonexistent, let alone the pill. "This... Dean Lin, please, I beg you to save my mother, please..." Xiao Ya was completely overwhelmed, tears streaming down incessantly. She had never anticipated her mother’s illness would worsen so rapidly to the point where it was beyond treatment. Dean Lin was stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Tianchen, his expression uneasy, because truthfully, Xiao Ya’s mother was beyond saving. The cancer cells had spread throughout her body, and even if the world’s best experts were gathered together, they could not save her. Xiao Ya’s pleading only evoked feelings of heartache and pity, but ultimately, there was nothing that could be done. Some things cannot be fought against, and one cannot battle fate. This was precisely why Ye Tianchen yearned to become stronger, to pursue the mystery of Eternal Life. Almost all cultivators were in contention with the heavens. Why else would every escalation in power invite a Heavenly Tribulation? Why else would they face thunderous retributions? It was because humans challenged the heavens, refusing to submit to their rule, and thus suffered retaliation. However, once they withstood the trials and ascended, they would stand above the Heavenly Dao, becoming sovereigns, transcending life and death, and reincarnation. But throughout history, how many had achieved this feat? "We will do our best, but you should still prepare for the inevitable," Dean Lin said helplessly. With Ye Tianchen there, there was no doubt he would do his utmost, but truly, there was nothing that could be done, and he could only sigh and enter the operating room. Ye Tianchen didn’t say much, just pulled Xiao Ya into his embrace. At that moment, he didn’t know what else to do; all he could do was hold her tightly, providing her with a sense of reliance and making her feel less alone. Anything he said or did would have been in vain. Sometimes fate is inescapable, and without the power to defy the heavens, one must submit. This only reinforced Ye Tianchen’s determination to defy fate. A human life is fleeting, only a few decades long; if one does not strive fiercely, isn’t that living in vain? Birth, aging, sickness, and death are nearly inescapable for everyone. Not only must one face the fear of their own death, but also the pain of helplessly watching loved ones die one by one. That pain is a hundred times worse than dying oneself. Ye Tianchen did not want to endure such feelings. In the apocalypse, all his loved ones had died because he wasn’t strong enough to protect them from the attack of a Supreme Demon Beast. In this life, Ye Tianchen resolved to prevent such regrets; he swore to become strong, to protect his loved ones, even if it meant defying the heavens. All night long, Xiao Ya cried. Even when drained of strength and collapsing into Ye Tianchen’s arms, she continued to weep. For Xiao Ya, her mother was her world. Now that her world was shattering, the mother who had raised her for over twenty years, who hadn’t yet enjoyed her filial piety, who hadn’t seen her marry and have children, was leaving. Life only happens once; death is irreversible. Imagine the feeling one has when a loved one departs, knowing you will never see them again—surely, even the coldest of hearts would shed tears. Ye Tianchen held Xiao Ya, sitting outside the emergency room until dawn. He sat immobile throughout the night while Xiao Ya cried excessively, eventually falling into a drowsy slumber from sheer exhaustion. He didn’t want to disturb her. Watching Xiao Ya crying heartbreakingly, he felt deeply pained. Having grown up an orphan on apocalypse star and risen to the rank of a Divine-level superpower user, he could be considered a protector of peace and had friends like family and women who would follow him to death. These people were his family. But in one dreadful night of a Supreme Demon Beast attack, he lost everything, a pain that Ye Tianchen could never erase. This moment made Ye Tianchen think, now witnessing Xiao Ya’s mother dying helplessly and only being able to mourn, would he one day have to watch his own parents and sister grow old and send them off one by one? Having finally felt the warmth of family, the love of siblings and parents, Ye Tianchen naturally did not wish for this scene to occur. The only solution was to grow stronger and solve the mystery of Eternal Life! At 5 A.M., the doors to the emergency room creaked open again. A group of old-fashioned professors came out, all shaking their heads. They had exerted their utmost effort; cancer remained humanity’s greatest medical challenge for nearly a century, still unconquered to this day. For those afflicted, awaiting death was inevitable; the duration of survival didn’t equate to living well but only prolonged suffering. "Young Master Ye, the patient is fading and wishes to see her daughter..." Dean Lin approached and spoke softly to Ye Tianchen. Before Ye Tianchen could respond, Xiao Ya had already opened her eyes, her entire being somewhat trance-like, tears unceasingly falling, a sight both tragically beautiful and deeply heart-wrenching.

Fearing that Xiao Ya could not accept the reality, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but call out softly. "Tianchen, I’m fine. You were right, I must face what needs to be faced. My mother wouldn’t want to see me like this!" Xiao Ya said strongly as she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Ye Tianchen nodded, surprised by Xiao Ya’s strength. This pure and kind-hearted girl had become very strong in this moment because she felt her responsibility; she felt her mother was about to leave this world. She couldn’t let her mother depart with worries and sadness. At this time, in her father’s absence, she had to take on this responsibility. "I’ll go in with you, to give your aunt peace and happiness as she leaves!" Ye Tianchen said, knowing the reason behind Xiao Ya’s strength. Xiao Ya walked in front, with Ye Tianchen beside her, and Dean Lin following them. The doctors at Kyoto Hospital had certainly done their best. Dean Lin had immediately gathered all the most professional experts in the hospital for an emergency consultation. For a patient whose cancer cells had spread throughout the body, if it weren’t for their swift rescue efforts, she would have already passed away, and Xiao Ya would not have been able to see her mother one last time. "Mom, Mom, are you alright?" Xiao Ya asked softly with a smile as she approached the emergency table. At that moment, Xiao Ya’s mother was extremely weak, connected to a ventilator, her complexion frighteningly pale, and her breathing very labored, possibly about to stop at any moment. Seeing her daughter come in, followed by Ye Tianchen, Xiao Ya’s mother managed a slight smile. Trembling, she slowly reached to remove her ventilator, wanting to speak a few words to her daughter. "Mom, keep it on. You’ll be fine..." Xiao Ya tried to stop her mother, knowing the ventilator was the only thing keeping her alive now. "Yaer, I know my own body... Let me speak a few words, then I will be at peace," Xiao Ya’s mother insisted, struggling to support herself. "Mom..." Xiao Ya tried hard to hold back, but after a long struggle, she couldn’t suppress her sorrowful heart, and tears uncontrollably streamed down again. The thought of never seeing her mother again after her departure was unbearable. Xiao Ya’s mother glanced at Xiao Ya, who was huddled by her side, and tenderly stroked her daughter’s hair. She had always combed her daughter’s hair from childhood. But after today, she would no longer be able to. Finally, she looked at Ye Tianchen and spoke, "Tianchen, you are a good kid. I know you are very good to Yaer. There’s something I’d like to ask of you, may I?" "Aunt, please tell me. As long as it’s within my power, I will definitely do it!" Ye Tianchen replied earnestly. "Mom..." Xiao Ya bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to burst into tears, as she didn’t want her mother to leave unhappily. "Yaer likes you very much. I’m not sure if you like Yaer, but no matter whether you end up together or not, I just hope you will be good to her. Yaer is a very sensible girl, she often mentions you in front of me. I know my daughter’s heart; she likes you. So, I would like to entrust Yaer to you. Maybe it’s a lot to ask, but as a mother, of course, I want my daughter to be happy. Is that okay?" as she spoke, Xiao Ya’s mother surprisingly sat up halfway, showing a burst of energy. Hearing Xiao Ya’s mother’s words, Xiao Ya cried like a little tear-filled doll, and Ye Tianchen was deeply moved. There is nothing more great than a mother’s love, even at the moment of death, parents still think of their children’s welfare.
