Chapter 839 Became A Mortal

Tristan was very emotional when he hugged Zu Wan, thanking him for saving his life. Though Zhen-Zhen told him not to blame himself, deep inside, he felt like it was his fault for being weak and because of that, Zu Wan had to sacrifice his life just to heal him.

Zu Wan could understand Tristan's feelings. Zhen-Zhen was not the only one in pain when he disappeared but also Tristan. This was the first time an outsider cared for him even though he was a demon god. He felt touched by Tristan's genuine love and care.

Zu Wan gently patted Tristan's back, trying to comfort him. He had now accepted him as son-in-law wholeheartedly. He was also grateful that even without him, Tristan would always be there for his beloved daughter, Zhen-Zhen.

It did not take long when Tristan broke the hug. He was worried that his father-in-law would feel awkward because of his unmanly action. He even shed tears in front of him. He was just so happy that Zu Wan came back at this moment. They would celebrate two occasions– Zu Wan's comeback and the Twins' birth!

Tristan gathered his emotion, wiping his tears as he faced Zu Wan with a smile. "Father, what happened to you after you disappeared? We really thought you were gone."

Tristan had decided to ask Zu Wan about his whereabouts for the last three months as they waited for Zhen-Zhen who was still in labor inside. Talking to Zu Wan would help him calm down. He was very anxious waiting for the twins to come out of Zhen-Zhen's womb.

Meanwhile, Zu Wan heaved a deep sigh. "I'm the same. I also thought it was my end. But I didn't expect that when I disappeared from this world, I met Eva, my wife."

Tristan was awestruck when he heard that. "Zhen-Zhen's mother? Did you see her in the afterlife? Or is she alive out there… in another dimension?"

Zu Wan shook his head. "I don't know but I am certain about one thing… She is watching us wherever she is right now. She's protecting her loved ones." A loving smile flashed on his face when he recalled his last moments with Eva.

"I wish to meet my mother-in-law as well," Tristan mumbled, feeling dejected. He hadn't seen her. "Father-in-law, did she say anything about me? Do you think my mother-in-law will like me? Does she hate me for failing to protect Zhen-Zhen and putting your life in danger?" Tristan was worried that Eva didn't like him for Zhen-Zhen.

"Of course, she likes you. She didn't hate you." Zu Wan chuckled seeing the worried look on Tristan's face. Although Eva didn't tell him directly that she liked Tristan, he knew that Eva was definitely happy that Zhen-Zhen was with Tristan.

Whatever Tristan's past was, he was a good person. And the most important thing was he could make Zhen-Zhen happy. He took care of her when she had no one aside from FaMo. Tristan taught her lots of things.

"Are you sure, Father? Zhen-Zhen's mother likes me?"

Zu Wan nodded his head to confirm it. "Yes, she likes you. We talked for three days before we said goodbye to each other. She wanted me to come back here and so I did. Now, I am back! But I'm surprised that three months have already passed since I disappeared. Three days there is equivalent to three months here."

"Whoa. That's long." Tristan was overwhelmed by the time gaps.

"Yeah. She's the one who helped me return here. She wants me to guide and watch over our grandchildren as they grow up." Zu Wan scratched his face. Zhen-Zhen and his grandchildren were the reason he was convinced to go back.

Tristan could imagine how Eva convinced Zu Wan. Though he hadn't seen her, Tristan already admired his mother-in-law. Even in the afterlife, she was looking out for Zhen-Zhen and Zu Wan.

"By the way, Father-in-law, what happened to your powers? Since you gave your power to me, does it mean you lost your power?"

Zu Wan fell silent for a moment. When he returned to this world, he arrived at another city, far away from the City of Empire. He tried to teleport but he couldn't.

In the end, he had to stay in that city for another two days. He did a part-time job to earn money. He could only go back to the City of Empire by public transportation.

After two days of working in a construction site, he earned enough money to be used as his fare going back to the city of empire.

With those two days, he realized that his physical strength was still superior to other ordinary humans, but his magical powers were long gone.

He could be hurt and injured by sharp objects. He couldn't heal his wound using his magical force. He couldn't control fire. He couldn't teleport. He couldn't fly.

"I am a mortal now. I don't have superpowers. I became an ordinary human who can age and die from accident, old age, or other natural causes." Zu Wan declared, informing Tristan.

Tristan, on the other hand, was at a loss for words. He had never imagined that the demon god would turn into a normal human being.

"In short, I am no longer the demon god. I can live as a normal person in this world. And with the remaining days of my human life, I will spend it with Zhen-Zhen and my grandchildren. So don't be sorry for me. Don't blame yourself. I am now back. I am given the second chance to start all over again."

Zu Wan held Tristan's shoulders, facing him. "Tristan, my son-in-law… Let's both take care of Zhen-Zhen and the Twins!"

With a bright smile on his face, Tristan nodded his head frantically. "Yes, father! Let's do that!"

They were still looking at each other when they heard something from the inside of the delivery room. It was the crying sound of the baby.

"Waah! Waah! Waah!"

Tristan and Zu Wan froze upon hearing that sound. Seconds later, they were able to utter some words.

Tristan: "My children!"

Zu Wan: "My grandchildren!"
