Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Li Che, masked as the Earthly Realm Truth Listener, ambushes and captures the Plum Blossom Demon God after sensing his voice from the Underworld, then slaughters the demon kings in the mansion with his Yin Yang Demon Blade. Soul-capturing the subdued demon god, Li Che impersonates him to avoid detection and repeats the process, quietly recruiting a second One Disaster One Tribulation Demon God within a single day amid the bustling Qi Tian City. On the next day, he absorbs a Four Imperial Daoist Divine Crystal to advance his Heaven and Earth Transformation Spirit True Ape Divine Embryo to the Four Divine Changes, while his other divine embryos transform and he forms a Shenxiao Prison Thunder Pill.

In the heart of Mo City Fengdu, the Painting Immortal Avatar keeps refining the Immortal Artisan Gatling, Immortal Work Barrett, and various other immortal devices, aiming to fuse the Shenxiao Prison Thunder Pill into them to boost their might.

Enhancements for the Guanyin Lotus Bullet move forward at the same time.

Thanks to the aid from the Painting Immortal Avatar, Li Che manages to handle numerous duties without strain.

He gathers and stockpiles the condensed Prison Thunder Pills.

Li Che lets out a slow breath.

Donning the Truth Listening Mask, he begins his assault on the One Disaster Two Tribulations Demon God from the Nine Demon Gods, his form blending seamlessly into the shadows.

His tactics mirror those from the previous day, showing little variation.

Yet, a One Disaster Two Tribulations Demon God boasts far greater defenses than a One Disaster One Tribulation one.

Boom——!!!

The Hundred Feet Victory Heaven Dao Domain unfurls, sending the One Disaster Two Tribulations Demon God's aura into a sharp decline.

Additionally, the Divine Skill Demon Immortal Nine Revolutions, merged with the demonic power from the two Demon Gods enlisted the day prior, gains two extra layers of transformation, amplifying the demonic energy even more.

Under the weight of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit's restraint.

During the swap of demonic energy, Li Che seals the foe into Mo City Fengdu with ease.

On the third day.

The fourth day.

Days drift by like a soft breeze, impossible to tally.

Each dawn and dusk shift brings another Demon God quietly succumbing to an unseen strike.

The Night Bat Demon God continues updating the Black Bull Demon God Venerable every three incense sticks on the Bull Demon and Li Nuanxi's status.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable remains pleased, sensing total command thanks to a reliable subordinate like the Night Bat Demon God.

Meanwhile, the three demon gods overseeing Qi Tian City's three entrances grow ever busier.

For restless cultivators detect the approaching moment of Qi Tian City’s inheritance.

Those powerful enough to breach the city have already triumphed in their trials and linger within.

The weaker ones, barred from entry, can merely fret outside.

High above in the Heavenly Dome, thunderous clouds churn, bearing down with immense pressure.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable lingers in his courtyard, enveloped by vast demonic energy, tilting his horned head as if ready to rend the heavens.

"It’s nearly here..."

"Five centuries—our Demon Race has endured a full five hundred years..."

"The Demon Saint returns at last!"

Demonic energy around the Black Bull Demon God Venerable boils over without restraint.

"Night Bat, will I manage to call forth the Demon Saint?"

The Night Bat Demon God tucks his bat wings tidy, lowering his head in deference.

"Venerable, success is yours without doubt!"

......

Within Qi Tian City, a opulent residence.

The Heaven and Earth chessboard whirls overhead, blocking all traces of energy. Demonic surges flow, but none perceive the shifts.

Wearing the Truth Listening Mask, Li Che leans the Yin Yang Demon Blade like a staff on the floor, his violet locks blazing and whipping like fire caught in gusts.

The heavy oppression hanging in the atmosphere thickens by the moment.

Rumble——

The earth quakes faintly as the enormous frame of the Croc-headed Demon God crashes down, smashed to fragments just like the rest.

The Sea Flipping Nine Infants turns more fractious; barred from devouring the Demon Gods right before it, it's akin to a kid eyeing sweets but denied a taste, bound to lash out.

Still, the Sea Flipping Nine Infants faithfully carries out Li Che’s orders, venting its minor fits in secret.

What choice does it have, with its master withholding the feast?

Finishing the Soul Capturing on the final One Disaster Two Tribulations Demon God.

Apart from the three One Disaster One Tribulation Demon Gods at the gates, Li Che has captured five of the Twelve Demon Gods, with four One Disaster Three Tribulations Demon Gods still free.

Handling those four proves no simple task.

After all, the Sea Flipping Nine Infants sits at the One Disaster Three Tribulations level too...

Besides, these One Disaster Three Tribulations demon gods receive support from fellow Demon God Venerables, demanding extra wariness over the Two Tribulations ones.

Buzz——

Beneath the Croc-headed Demon God’s reverent stare, Li Che in the Truth Listening Mask unleashes his demonic energy skyward before turning away.

He skips heading back to the residence.

Li Che sheds the mask, dissolving the Demon Immortal Nine Revolutions.

Through the shadowy lane he strolls, his steps ringing clearly off the walls.

Faint amber lamps spill a cozy light, highlighting the modest eatery.

Before the eatery.

Xi Xi and the Big Black Dog frolic together.

Jingle.

The curtain parts as the shopkeeper, clad in spotless white robes, steps out with a piping hot dish.

"Xi Xi, time for your midnight bite."

As though catching a hint, the shopkeeper glances toward Li Che’s position.

Xi Xi, dashing for the treat, halts midway and spins to spot Li Che, her gaze sparkling instantly.

After a quick debate between the snack and her dad, she dashes to him instead.

With a bound, the girl with her hair in a bouncy ponytail clings to Li Che like a tiny octopus.

"Daddy! Are you here to bring Xi Xi back?"

Xi Xi flutters her lashes.

Li Che strokes her wee head: "No, Daddy only stopped by to check on you."

Sensing her fuller figure after mere days, Li Che readily infers how pampered she’s been under the shopkeeper’s care.

"Yay! But aw... a bit of a letdown!"

Xi Xi claps without thinking, then spies her father’s playful gaze and hastily adjusts, realizing such glee might not fit the moment.
