1 End And Beginning I
Above the clear sky, there was a strange creature with blood-red eyes, two large horns on his head, and large black wings on his back. However, the creature struggles to escape the black box that traps him, and it continues to suck him in, but the injuries in his body make him weaker.
Not far in front of him, a man with long white hair wearing white clothes covered in blood sat on a white cloud, and his condition was also quite serious with many wounds on his body, but he smiled in satisfaction seeing that the creature was helpless because of his actions.
"Tang Xiao!" The creature furiously shouted. "I will remember today's events for the rest of my life! I will kill you and those closest to you once I'm free."
Tang Xiao just shook his head as he watched the creature get sucked into the black box, and he pulled it close before placing a few seals on it. After he threw it into outer space, he looked at the ground covered in countless corpses and blood, causing him to sigh in sadness and disappointment, and he then flew down before landing in front of a beautiful woman with waist-length snow-white hair.
Despite her messy appearance and blood also soaking her white dress, the woman still looks like a flawless goddess. "Is it all over now?"
"No." Tang Xiao then looked at the corpses. "We did succeed in defeating the creature and sealing him, but we completely lost in this battle, and they had to die because of our weakness."
"En." The woman nodded and looked at the corpses too. "They have fought very hard to defeat that creature, but this is the end of their journey, and I hope they can find peace in their next life."
"Unfortunately, they will never be able to find peace as long as the creature is still alive, and he will return someday in the future." Tang Xiao said as he let out a heavy sigh. "Moreover, only the two of us are left now, and it takes a very long time for new cultivators to reach our stage, so we have no hope of defeating that creature if he breaks free from my seals in the future."
The woman sighed heavily after she heard that, and she then asked Tang Xiao. "Do you really want to carry out your previous plan?"
"Our universe will be destroyed if that creature returns, so I will carry out my plan." Tang Xiao then looked gently at the woman. "Aren't you going to stop me, Master?"
"What can I do to stop you?" The woman asked back with a bitter smile, and she then rubbed Tang Xiao's head. "I am indeed your master, but you are the strongest in our universe now, and you are never willing to listen to my words anymore. However, we don't know about the consequences, so you have to be very careful in carrying out your actions, and you shouldn't change the past too much, or the consequences will be more severe. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, I will remember your words." Tang Xiao then hugged the woman, and she also hugged him back. "Goodbye, Master. I hope my plan will succeed in changing the situation, and all living beings in our universe can live peacefully in the future."
"En, I will pray that your plan will succeed." The woman replied as she hugged Tang Xiao tighter. "I hope we will meet again in the future, Little Xiao."
Tang Xiao then released the woman from his arms and took her hand. "Master, we will meet again in the future, and our lives will definitely be better than now."
"All right, you can go now, or I will change my mind." Tang Xiao nodded at her before pressing his wrist, and he instantly disappeared from the woman's sight, making her sigh softly. "Goodbye, Little Xiao."

Tang Xiao was standing in a futuristic room filled with various kinds of sophisticated equipment, and he then spoke to the little girl on the screen in the middle of the room. "Xiao Ai, execute the plan, and we will go straight to the past."
[Are you sure you want to do that, Master? Your master has repeatedly warned you about the consequences of going to the past, especially since it would disrupt the flow of time in this universe, and there is a possibility that it would create parallel universes.]
Tang Xiao nodded to her. "I'm well aware of the consequences, but we have no other choice now, or else this universe will be completely destroyed. Moreover, I've prepared everything very well, and I'm sure that my actions won't create parallel universes, so you can carry out the plan now."
[All right, I will execute the plan now, so you better be prepared, Master.]
"I'm ready any time."
[3... 2... 1... We will enter the time hole now, and we will immediately arrive in that era, Master.]

Sometime later, Tang Xiao was already floating in the air as he mumbled. "It's been too long since I've breathed this bad air, but I really miss those times."
"Tens of thousands of years, right?" Tang Xiao nodded to Xiao Ai, who was sitting on his shoulders. "So where are we now? And which era is this?"
Tang Xiao pointed at an area not far from their position. "Today was supposed to be the day my parents were murdered, and those people killed them there."
Xiao Ai was not surprised by that, as she already knew Tang Xiao's past. "Are you going to save them, Master?"
"No." Tang Xiao shook his head at her. "I don't want them to die, but I can't stop it because it will cause a chain effect, and my young self will never change, so no one can stop that creature. Anyway, let's go there, and you can directly watch the beginning of change in my life."
"En, let's go."

Two people were shocked when several cars blocked their way, but when the middle-aged man was about to turn his car around, there were several other cars blocking behind them.
"Shit! I didn't expect them to ambush us!" The middle-aged man cursed as he looked at the cars in turn.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman in the passenger seat looked panicked as she hugged their five-year-old son. "What should we do now, husband? Xiao'er is with us now, and I don't want anything bad to happen to him."
The middle-aged man looked around him and saw a dark street to their left. "Wife! Get out now! Take Xiao'er away that way, and I'll stop them!"
"But-"
"Go now!" The middle-aged man shouted as he opened the passenger door. "It doesn't matter if I die in their hands, but you and Xiao'er must survive, and you must tell your big sister later, so she will take care of you two and Yin'er."
"All... all right." With a heavy heart, the woman took her son out of the car, and he immediately ran through the dark street.
Seeing that, the people immediately got out of the car; some of them surrounded the middle-aged man, and some of them chased the woman.
However, little Tang Xiao suddenly woke up. "Mom? Why are we going through a dark street like this? Where is my dad? Why isn't he coming with us?"
"Xiao'er, some bad guys are blocking our way, and your father is trying to stop them, so he asked me to take you to hide." The woman explained as she continued to run forward, but she also repeatedly looked back to check on the people chasing her.
"Why are those people chasing us, Mom?" Little Tang Xiao asked with an innocent face.
"They were jealous of your father's success, so they wanted to snatch everything from him."
"Mom! We can't leave my dad!"
"No." The woman immediately refused. "Those people are very evil, and they will do evil things to us. That's why I will hide you in a safe place first, and I will help your father afterward."
"No! I'll come with you, Mom! I want to save my dad!"
"Listen to me, Xiao'er. You are your father's successor, so we won't let anything happen to you, or our family will be finished."
"No!"
"Xiao'er!" The woman snapped at him. "You know that we love you, right?"
"But-"
"Stop it! Don't fuss like this, or they'll find us." Suddenly, the woman saw a hole in a wall, and without thinking twice, she put her son in. "Xiao'er, we may not be able to accompany you again after today, but you must always remember that we love you very much, and you must live for us, okay?"
"But-"
"Xiao'er, don't argue, okay?" The woman interrupted little Tang Xiao and hugged him tightly. "You must take care of yourself and your big sister, okay?"
"Mom, don't leave me; I don't want to be separated from you two." Little Tang Xiao said this as he cried loudly while hugging his mother tightly.
They suddenly heard the people getting closer to them, so the woman took out the cell phone in her pocket and gave it to him. "After they leave, you should contact your aunt, and she will definitely find you."
"Mom!"
"Xiao'er, they are already close, so mother will divert their attention, and you should stay hidden here without making a sound." After she said that, the woman pushed little Tang Xiao, and she ran as fast as she could from that place.
