Apple of my Eye(s)
One day, Shen Qingqiu comes from the city with a little baby in his arms. He says: "His mother died during childbirth and I am taking care of him." He names the child Shen Yuan when he is old enough to give him a name, and the child grows up in Qing Jing.
Everyone, absolutely everyone, believes that Shen Qingqiu is the biological father of that child. Only have to LOOK at them both and see the resemblance: the same eyes, the same hair, the same facial structure, the same lips, even the same angry pout. Rumors - Shen Qingqiu had a child with a prostitute who died and now he is taking care of him!! - are open secrets.
Shen Qingqiu, as usual, ignores them. He cares for his little one, raising him with the closest thing other Peak Lords can call love. Impeccable robes, the best meals, the best early education. Shen Yuan grows up as a polite, gentle, kind-hearted, sweet-faced child. He frees insects before killing them, isn't afraid to dirty his robes if he must go after someone, and has an avid interest in beasts and monsters beyond comprehension. The Peak Lords jokingly think: this child has taken his father's face and surely the good heart of his mother, may she rest in peace.
When he comes of age, he doesn't even have to dig a hole to be chosen for Qing Jing Peak - everyone knows that Shen Qingqiu has already made a place for him there. However, Shen Yuan insists on doing it on his own! He wants to earn his place. The Peak Lords respect him for it, and there are various interests, but he still ends up in Qing Jing Peak.
And Shen Yuan becomes Shen Qingqiu's clear first disciple. He is a skilled scholar, excellent martial artist who is not afraid to tear someone rude with foul words, but with an almost natural disposition to be kind, sweet and gentle with those who deserve and require it.
It is then that Luo Binghe arrives at Qing Jing Peak.
The Peak Lords hear of the rumors and they spread them like pollen in spring: apparently there has been a HUGE discussion between Shen Qingqiu and his spoiled son! Something involving a child with water burns, a beating, and a woodshed. No one understands what happened, but a day later, Shen Yuan completely disappeared from the Cang Qiong Sect.
And he has taken a young disciple with him.
Shen Qingqiu begins to act as if he never had a son - as if his whole life has been all about him, hostile and unpleasant. His mood is worse than ever and his cruelty is undeniable. No one understands what has happened between father and son, but these are rumors that even if whispered, bring the very bad faces of Shen Qingqiu. And no one wants to be behind Shen Qingqiu's wrath when it is unleashed.
(Shen Yuan had transmigrated. Into a baby! Into Shen Qingqiu's son! Yes, indeed his memories had been gradually unlocked, thank god. It would have been so weird to be a baby with the mindset of an adult... And he had believed, for a long time, that perhaps Shen Qingqiu could change. That loving him and caring for him would make him better when Luo Binghe reached Cang Qiong.
Unfortunately, that was not the case.
So, Shen Qingqiu can hate him for this reason if he wants! But Shen Yuan has to leave there and take Luo Binghe with him. He will teach him cultivation and do everything to make him become a powerful cultivator before his demonic seal is unleashed, he will do everything possible to prevent him from the Endless Abyss, and will prevent Shen Qingqiu from being turned into a human stick.
Probably, a single night of punishment and humiliation wasn’t enough for Luo Binghe to want revenge so hard. Actually?? He just would save the lives of all his martial uncles and his father in the process to kindly educate Luo Binghe and make him as powerful yet happy as possible. They should thank him!! He's sacrificing himself, his comforts, and his reputation to save everyone's asses!!!)
...
(Although Shang Qinghua had wanted to give Shen Qingqiu a son - a magical pollen pregnancy between Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu, which Shen Qingqiu would NEVER tell Yue Qingyuan was his child until the very last moment - for the drama and secondary revenge and angst 7/9, that had been a damn draft!!! He didn't even get to develop the background of Yue Qingyuan and Shen Jiu!!! And now that son ran away with his Protagonist!? System, what's going on!? Why do HE make sure the Endless Abyss arc be completed!? He doesn't even fucking know where the protagonist is!!! System have mercy on AND HELP!!!)

When the sky Split open.
All the known and unknown universe shuddered. From nebulous end to nebulous end, a line was torn into being that could no longer be crossed.
The Lanterns of every color were the first to notice and start investigating. Those who still had access to their batteries would do the heavy lifting, while those who didn't would have to take more minor roles as time went on.
The barrier wasn't really visible until one got close to it, and several members had the unfortunate luck to fly headlong into it, and it lit gently, edges glowing softly icy-blue and jagged. Like shattered crystal, some fragments that were close to the edge even became visible with proximity.
It was oddly beautiful, in a terrifying sort of way.
After all, what force could break space?

When Hal and Kyle finally, finally, got to go back to Earth and were met with a shocking number of people on the Watchtower, they weren't too surprised. With everything going on, it would've been more surprising to come back to quiet and calm.
A quick and efficient debrief was too much to ask for.
"Woah, who nuked Midwest America?" Kyle nearly shouted, drawing Hal's attention to the viewing window, where, indeed, it did look like the border of Illinios and Indiana had been blown almost completely off the country.
"When did that happen?" Hall asked, just a hair too loudly. "We weren't gone long enough to have missed World War Three, were we? That space anomaly didn't screw with our reference for time, did it? I thought the Corps answered that question, but I'm asking it again."
"No one is admitting to anything, yet, but I'm certain the United States government has something to do with it." Batman had slid into the conference room when no one was looking and moved to stand next to the Lanterns with his arms crossed over his chest. "Four months ago. Clark was the first on the scene, and he found a being in the center. There's evidence of experimentation and more human rights violations than you can count."
"Another Kryptonian? What else could cause damage on that scale that we've seen on Earth?"
"I'm hoping you could help us find that answer, Hal. You've seen more varieties of alien than anyone else here right now."
