Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
After Li Che completed his Dao Fruit transformation and withstood the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring reacted intensely. Li Che used his Dominator Avatar to bring Xi Xi to him, intending for her to claim the ring as the final piece of the Divine Armor Set. Xi Xi, empowered by recent refinements and Li Che's encouragement, prepared to attempt absorbing the formidable artifact.
The Purple Flame Serpentine Spear, the God Beating Brick, the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, the Indestructible Lotus Hell Sky Silk, and the Prison Lotus Yin Yang Divine Sword! All the divine weapons appeared one by one. Behind Xi Xi, a silhouette materialized, enveloped by the divine minister's shadow of the Shen Yuan Golden Elixir. It was the Eight-Armed Three-Faced Hell Lotus Unbeatable Divine Image! Above it, the shadow of the divine weapons was reflected. At this moment, Xi Xi's aura underwent a dramatic transformation. Li Che sensed the myriad gazes from all corners of existence shifting from himself to Xi Xi. Excitement, anticipation, sneers, and ridicule swirled around them. The potent individuals within the All Gods camp, located in the Strange Que, openly displayed their emotions. They seemed to possess knowledge of the consequences should Xi Xi successfully acquire the Qiankun Ring! The Third Prince Temple God... might be resurrected! It was precisely this potential resurrection that fueled their excitement and anticipation. However, their sneers and ridicule stemmed from their certainty that the Third Prince Temple God could not possibly be resurrected; resurrection demands time, and during the Third Prince Temple God's resurrection process... they would eliminate him! Therefore, they watched Xi Xi approach the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring with a gaze bordering on the absurd. It was akin to witnessing the Daughter of Prison Lotus personally escorting a deity of the Prison Lotus Camp towards their demise! Indeed, this was a deliberate choice. For the Daughter of Prison Lotus, it was an act of torture, observing the deities of the Prison Lotus Camp fall one by one, perishing after igniting their divine fire. This slow, agonizing torture was poised to shatter her soul piece by piece, ultimately leading her to utter degeneration. By now, the powerful figures of the All Gods camp had begun to sense something was amiss. This particular divine tide's manifestation of the Prison Lotus seemed distinct from previous occurrences. The growth of the Daughter of Prison Lotus had strayed from its predetermined path, deviating from the ordained destiny, an offense deemed unforgivable. The very heavens required the Daughter of Prison Lotus to serve as the coldest executioner; the gods needed the Daughter of Prison Lotus to bring this divine tide to its conclusion! If the Daughter of Prison Lotus ceased her cold-hearted slaughter, if she relinquished her role as the executioner... how would this divine tide ever end? Thus, they offered their sneers, relishing the sight of the Daughter of Prison Lotus treading the path of destiny. Li Che remained suspended in the sky, radiating the aura of a Martial Immortal, his golden blood qi surging like relentless waves. He was acutely aware of all the disparate gazes directed towards him. With his hands clasped behind his back, his fists clenched, a terrifying aura steadily escalated. He was there to shield his own daughter! Regardless of whether Xi Xi subsequently claimed the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring, igniting a catastrophic storm and summoning the wrath of heaven and earth, he, Li Che, as her father, would bear it all alongside her! At this moment, Xi Xi activated the divine minister, appearing to experience a flicker of hesitation. She seemed to perceive something, a profound wave of melancholy slowly spreading within her heart, engulfing her entire being. 'Why is it like this?' Xi Xi felt a pang of confusion and turned her head to gaze at Li Che. It was then she noticed her Daddy, enveloped in brilliant golden blood qi, akin to a radiant sun, illuminating her path. The melancholy that had settled in Xi Xi's heart began to melt away like snow under the intense heat of the sun. "Go, Xi Xi." Li Che offered a warm smile. Xi Xi's eyes instantly became resolute. She nodded firmly! With Daddy behind her, Xi Xi feared nothing! With Daddy present, Xi Xi would fly courageously! Buzz buzz buzz buzz—— Xi Xi stepped onto the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, its hum resonating as countless sparks erupted from the Wind Fire Wheel. She propelled herself towards the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring. Her small figure resolutely plunged into the vast expanse demarcated by the Qiankun Ring. Boom——!!! Instantly, Xi Xi was overwhelmed by a terrifying sense of oppression! Countless divine powers surged madly from all directions... erupting from the Qiankun Ring. Buzz buzz buzz—— The countless divine powers coalesced to form a figure. Just like Xi Xi, it stood upon the Wind Fire Wheel, wielding the Fire Tip Spear, adorned in Chaos Silk, with hair tied in a topknot! Szzz——!!! Mystic Thunder crackled and weaved around the figure. "You..." Xi Xi gazed at the conjured divinity, its form indistinct, yet its eyes, as deep as the star-studded sky, radiated an unyielding arrogance and solitary dominance! Xi Xi felt immense pressure. She seemed to grasp the fundamental nature of the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring. Defeat Him! Defeat Him to master the Qiankun Ring and complete the Divine Spirit Set! This was a trial, and also an inheritance! The entire universe appeared to fall silent, though the lightning persisted, countless flashes interweaving, but as the figure slowly raised the Fire Tip Spear, everything seemed to freeze. The Third Prince Temple God?! Rumble—— The very ground beneath Ancestor Dragon Island seemed to tremble slightly. Li Che's brow furrowed, and he cast a glance, his eyes gazing deeply into the distance.
The Young Dragon Emperor?!
Awake...
Or still feigning unconsciousness?...
Then, his gaze shifted back to Xi Xi's current state.
This was... a young deity!
However, it wasn't the Golden Third Prince merely formed within the Golden Heavenly King Divine Temple. Instead, it was the genuine divine aura that had coalesced from the Third Prince Temple God's very essence.
Incredibly potent; within the same cultivation realm, this being was undoubtedly one of the invincible elites.
Could Xi Xi emerge victorious?
If it were Li Che facing this opponent himself, he would possess unwavering confidence. After all, he had forged an unparalleled path within the Martial Saint Realm, ultimately attaining the Martial Immortal Realm.
Yet, Xi Xi had not yet reached that stage. A knot of tension tightened in Li Che's heart.
At the absolute worst...
He would personally intervene to help Xi Xi overcome this formidable obstacle.
