Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 276: Tears of Reunion

Originally, Ethan wanted to hide Cedric and shock everyone during the fight against the Bloodclaw Tribe.

However, after learning that the other two Hermit Tribes also joined the fight against them and seeing the worries on Theodore’s face, Ethan decided to reunite the Father and Son sooner than he planned.

For the upcoming fight, as the current ancestor of the Lin Family, Theodore needed to be stronger, not just physically but also mentally.

Ethan felt that Theodore needed some real support to make him mentally strong, and the one who could give him that was none other than his long-lost father, Cedric Lin.

’T-this.....’

As soon as Theodore stepped into the small courtyard, he instinctively looked around, wondering what Ethan wanted to show him.

But when his gaze landed on a thirty-year-old young figure standing calmly nurturing the Dragonheart Lotus and Clearheart Lotus Plants in the Spirit Spring, his heart skipped a beat.

’...F-Father?’

His eyes widened as the air in the small courtyard froze, and it felt like the entire world slowed for Theodore.

Cedric Lin, dressed in a plain robe, stood there with a calm smile on his face. His once jet-black hair now carried streaks of azure light.

Despite the passage of more than 100 years, the one in front of him looked just like the image that was in Theodore’s mind about his father.

Theodore’s lips trembled.

’....’

No words came out of his mouth, and for a moment, he looked like a child again—a son seeing the pillar of his world after more than a century of absence.

"You’ve grown into a fine man... or should I say Old Man?"

Looking at Theodore’s grey hair, Cedric tried to joke while holding back his tears and muttered, "I am really proud of you, Mighty Theo, for all your hard work and achievements."

After learning how the Lin Family was standing tall among the Cultivation Families and Theodore’s achievement of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm before the age of 100, Cedric was proud of his son.

"Father... Father, it is really you."

The words from Cedric broke the dam as Theodore rushed forward, his knees giving out as he dropped to the ground in front of Cedric, clutching at his father’s robe.

His voice cracked as tears flowed freely down his slightly aged face as decades of grief, loneliness, pressure, and longing all surged out at once.

After seeing his father, Theodore felt he was dreaming, and only when he heard his father’s voice... especially the words ’Mighty Theo’, did he confirm that it was really his father.

In this world, there is only one person who called him like that, and it was none other than his long-lost father, Cedric Lin.

"I knew it... I knew you were alive and would return to the family."

With tears rolling down his face, Theodore spoke in a way that was completely out of his usual ’Ancestor’ image.

’Right now, he is just a son who is reunited with his father after more than 100 years. There is nothing unbelievable in Ancestor Theodore’s actions.’

From the side, Ethan smiled and didn’t judge Theodore because he knew the pain of losing parents more than anyone.

"It must have been very hard on you all these years. I am sorry for disappearing like that."

Cedric helped Theodore stand up as he apologised to his son for giving up all the burdens.

"They are not burdens, Father. As a Mighty Theo, it is what I was supposed to do."

Theodore replied with an innocent smile on his face, which surfaced after a hundred years.

’I am really lucky to have a son like Theodore.’

Hearing his son’s words and the innocent smile on his son’s face, Cedric was unable to control his emotions anymore as tears rushed out of his eyes.

"Father, congratulations. You are also a Golden Core Realm Cultivator and more powerful than me."

After pouring out their emotions, Theodore finally focused on his father’s cultivation, which he could not gauge anymore.

However, he could sense the Golden Core in his father, which means his father has higher cultivation than he does, making him excited.

Which son didn’t like to see their father staying healthy and strong?

"It’s all thanks to the Master. If not for him, I would not be here today."

Cedric pointed at Ethan and gave him the full credit, which was obviously the truth.

If not for Ethan, there was no way Cedric would have returned to the Lin Family.

Killing him and freeing his soul from the Azure Serpent Fiend King’s body was one thing, and reviving him was another thing.

Also, he was not a mortal or a low-level cultivator but a powerful Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

More importantly, it was not a simple revival, but he received a Special Talent, a Heavenly Technique, and gifts from the Azure Serpent Realm, making him invincible below the Nascent Soul Realm.

"What?"

Theodore was shocked as he looked at Ethan with an unbelievable look in his eyes.

"Son, please be respectful to the Master from now on. He is the benefactor of the Lin Family and will also be someone who will bring the Lin Family to new heights."

Seeing Theodore’s reaction, Cedric was not surprised because if he were not the revived target, even he would not have believed such words.

Nevertheless, he wanted to make sure that Theodore wouldn’t offend Ethan and remained respectful.

"I understand, Father."

Taking a deep breath, Theodore nodded his head at his father before turning to Ethan and quickly apologised, "Master Kai, I am sorry for being rude yesterday and even today."

Yesterday, Theodore called Ethan a Demon Cultivator and many other words, scoffed, smirked, and even looked at him in disdain.

However, after learning that he was the reason why his father was still alive, Theodore kept his status as ’Ancestor’ of the Lin Family and sincerely apologised.

"It’s alright! If I were you, I would have done those things."

Ethan smiled as he asked both the Father and Son duo, "Do you want to witness something cool?"

Without waiting for their replies, Ethan called Shadow Bee and asked him to summon the 10 Spirit Beasts that triggered the Draconic Evolutionary Paths.
