As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1549 - 412: Yun Shen Returns, Qi Fortune Belongs to the Underworld—King Yan’s Great Sun Punch Battles the War God Tribulation [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
"Give it a try; see if you can stabilize this Luck Golden Lotus and reclaim your command over the forces of destiny."
Li Che spoke with an air of indifference.
This objective was the primary motivation behind his urgency to resurrect Xie Yushen.
Because of Xie Yushen’s demise, the Luck Golden Lotus had begun to slowly fade away.
Even the towering golden pillar of destiny, which bridged the heavens and the earth, was on the verge of total collapse...
"Understood."
Xie Yushen’s posture immediately became rigid.
He was well aware that despite his meager cultivation, his true worth resided in his sharp intellect, his silver tongue, and most crucially... his authority over destiny!
If he could successfully reestablish control over Dajing’s Luck Golden Lotus...
His standing within the Underworld would skyrocket to unprecedented heights!
From Li Che’s casual remark, Xie Yushen had already detected a specific scent.
It was...
The scent of grand ambition!
Xie Yushen’s gaze shimmered with a brilliant light, and his God Confining Heart began to throb with intense excitement...
The moment to prove his utility had arrived!
He did not dread Li Che’s vast ambitions; rather, he feared a lack of them.
Only through such ambition would Li Che truly appreciate the magnitude of Xie Yushen’s efforts!
Floating upward until he rested upon the Luck Golden Lotus, Xie Yushen opened his arms wide. He utilized the authority granted by the Great Vista Emperor, which allowed him to manipulate and govern six portions of Dajing’s Luck.
Buzzing—
A wave of intangible momentum erupted outward.
Xie Yushen’s eyes flashed with a radiant gold hue, and as they transformed, his aura began a steady, powerful ascent!
Remarkably, he had returned to the peak state he held just before Li Che had crushed the life out of him!
The power of destiny was once again anchored to his soul!
Behind him, the silhouette of the Calamity Roulette began to materialize, though it remained faint and ethereal.
His presence surged, reaching the absolute zenith of the Half-step Divine Realm!
Amidst the raging gale, Li Che’s black robes snapped violently, yet a faint smile touched his lips.
"Not bad at all."
Having regained his grip on the power of destiny, Xie Yushen’s eyes sparkled with renewed vigor.
"You understand what your next steps are, don’t you?"
"You will remain embedded within the imperial army... continuing your role as Dajing’s Plain Clothes National Master, Xie Yushen."
Li Che instructed.
Xie Yushen’s mind raced, instantly grasping the depths of Li Che’s strategy.
"As you wish."
"The destiny of this realm... Dajing can possess it, but so too can Qian Yuan."
A subtle smile played behind Li Che’s mask.
Hearing those words, Xie Yushen could not suppress a chuckle.
Whether he was assisting the Great Vista Emperor in harvesting the Qi Fortune of the various divine Sects or doing the same for his new master, the process remained the same...
The tasks were virtually identical; he had simply shifted his loyalty to a new sovereign.
The Emperor still retained four portions of Dajing’s luck for himself. By entrusting only six portions and three Luck Golden Lotuses to Xie Yushen for cultivation, he had clearly demonstrated his lingering mistrust.
It was a logical precaution, of course, as handing the entire fate of a nation to a single individual was inherently risky.
Logic aside, however, Xie Yushen could still feel the sting of the Emperor’s parsimonious nature.
In contrast, he felt certain that his current lord would never treat him with such guarded suspicion...
Xie Yushen felt a surge of competitive spirit.
He realized his lord intended for him to maintain his cover in the imperial camp, using the Emperor's own forces to dismantle the mountains and crush the rival Sects.
As the two sides tore into each other, the ultimate victors would be the Underworld and the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Rumble—
Hmm?!
The Mo City Fengdu began to tremble and roar with low vibrations.
Having pulled in the Divine Tribulation Cultivator Zhao Beidou, the Mo City Fengdu appeared to be suffering from internal, violent concussions.
In reality, the time elapsed from Li Che’s appearance as King Yan to the moment Xie Yushen retaliated with the Luck Golden Lotus—only to be slain and turned into a God Confining—was quite brief.
Perhaps only thirty to forty breaths of time had passed.
Yet, within the confines of Mo City Fengdu, it was clear that Zhao Beidou, a powerful Divine Tribulation Cultivator, was using every ounce of his strength to shatter his prison.
Li Che had been so preoccupied with the execution of Xie Yushen that he hadn't fully monitored the internal struggle.
However, it was of little consequence.
Inside Mo City Fengdu, Li Che had stationed top-tier experts like the Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect, along with Han Sixi, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and other Great Gods to swarm Zhao Beidou.
Their mission was to stall Zhao Beidou and prevent a swift escape from Mo City Fengdu.
But at this moment...
The outlook was grimmer than he had anticipated.
Even a combined force of elite peaks and Great Gods seemed insufficient to restrain Zhao Beidou.
Though the Heavenly and Earth Defects could unleash combined techniques rivaling a Half-step Martial God, they remained largely ineffective when faced with a genuine Divine Tribulation expert.
From behind the black-and-white Yama Mask, Li Che cast a lingering look at Xie Yushen.
Bathed in a golden glow, Xie Yushen clasped his hands in a respectful salute.
"Have no fear, my lord. I shall do everything in my power to seize the entire fortune of Liang!"
"The destiny of this land shall fall into the hands of the Underworld!"
Xie Yushen declared, his voice high and his spirit soaring with fervor.
Seize the land's destiny?
The corners of Li Che’s mouth curled slightly beneath his mask.
He closed his hand into a fist.
A single white chess piece hovered momentarily over his palm.
Then, in an instant, he vanished entirely.
Xie Yushen remained in his deep bow, hands clasped, his sleeves nearly brushing the earth in a show of total submission.
Only after he was certain his lord had departed did he finally stand tall.
A wide, uncontrollable grin spread across his face.
"Hahahahahaha..."
A resonant, deep laughter broke from his throat.
He felt light! An incredible sense of liberation washed over him!
Xie Yushen threw his arms out wide, his golden hair whipping in the wind, his heart filled with absolute joy.
Since becoming a God Confining...
Aside from the faint sense of his lord’s overriding authority, Xie Yushen felt nothing but pure, unadulterated freedom!
It was the freedom of a fundamental shift in existence!
He was now...
An entity that was truly eternal and undying!
Possessing a solid physical form and his own sovereign will, his previous limitations in cultivation had been wiped away, replaced by the ability to grow stronger by consuming other God Confinings...
