As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1549: Yun Shen Returns, Qi Fortune Belongs to the Underworld—King Yan’s Great Sun Punch Battles the War God Tribulation
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
"Give it a try; see if you can stabilize this Luck Golden Lotus and reclaim your authority over the power of destiny."
Li Che spoke with an air of indifference.
This objective was the primary reason he had been so intent on resurrecting Xie Yushen.
Following Xie Yushen’s demise, the Luck Golden Lotus had begun to slowly fade away.
Even the golden pillar of destiny, the bridge connecting the heavens and the earth, was on the verge of total collapse...
"I understand."
Xie Yushen’s posture immediately turned rigid.
He was well aware that while his cultivation was currently low, his true worth resided in his sharp intellect, his silver tongue, and most crucially... his command over destiny!
If he could successfully reestablish control over Dajing’s Luck Golden Lotus...
His standing within the Underworld would become more vital than it had ever been!
From Li Che’s instructions, Xie Yushen had already detected a specific scent.
It was...
The scent of raw ambition!
A brilliant light danced in Xie Yushen’s eyes, and his God Confining Heart began to throb with a frantic excitement...
The moment to prove his utility had arrived!
He had no fear of Li Che’s ambition; in fact, he only worried that Li Che might lack it.
Only through such ambition would Li Che truly value the contributions Xie Yushen provided!
Xie Yushen drifted upward onto the Luck Golden Lotus, throwing his arms wide. The Great Vista Emperor had previously granted him the rights and the capacity to manipulate six portions of Dajing’s Luck.
Buzzing—
An invisible wave of momentum erupted outward.
Xie Yushen’s pupils instantly flashed with a radiant gold, returning to their gilded state as his aura surged upward without pause!
He had actually regained the peak state he possessed just before Li Che had crushed the life out of him!
Destiny had been restored to his being!
Behind him, the Calamity Roulette began to manifest, though it remained somewhat blurred.
His aura climbed until it reached the very zenith of the Half-step Divine Realm!
Li Che’s black robes whipped violently in the brewing storm, a faint smile touching his lips.
"Impressive."
As Xie Yushen regained his grip on the power of destiny, his eyes shimmered with intensity.
"You are aware of your next steps, are you not?"
"You will remain embedded within the imperial army... continuing your role as the Plain Clothes National Master of Dajing, Xie Yushen."
Li Che commanded.
Xie Yushen’s eyes flickered, his mind instantly syncing with Li Che’s strategic intent.
"As you wish."
"The destiny of this land... Dajing may claim it, but Qian Yuan may possess it as well."
From behind his mask, Li Che let out a soft, knowing chuckle.
Hearing those words, Xie Yushen could not help but laugh along.
Whether he was gathering the Qi Fortune of various divine sects for the Great Vista Emperor or for his new master, the process remained the same...
The tasks were identical; he had simply shifted his loyalty to a new sovereign.
The Emperor still retained four portions of Dajing’s luck. His lack of trust was evident, as he had only entrusted six portions to Xie Yushen for cultivation, sustained by three Luck Golden Lotuses.
This was understandable, of course, as placing the entire fate of a nation in the hands of a single individual was inherently risky.
Despite that understanding, Xie Yushen could still feel the sting of the Emperor’s stinginess.
Now, a master like his current lord would surely not be so suspicious of him...
Xie Yushen felt a surge of motivation.
He realized his lord wanted him to maintain his false identity within the court camp to use the imperial legions as a tool to topple mountains and shatter rival sects.
In the midst of the chaos between the two factions, the true victors would be the Underworld and the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Rumble—
Hmm?!
The Mo City Fengdu began to vibrate, letting out a low roar.
Having trapped the Divine Tribulation Cultivator Zhao Beidou within, Mo City Fengdu seemed to be suffering through a series of violent internal explosions.
In reality, the time elapsed since Li Che had acted as King Yan, through Xie Yushen’s counterattack with the Luck Golden Lotus, to his death and subsequent God Confining transformation...
It had not been long at all.
Perhaps only thirty to forty breaths of time had passed.
Inside Mo City Fengdu, Zhao Beidou, a powerful Divine Tribulation Cultivator, was likely pushing his limits to force an escape.
Li Che had been so concentrated on executing Xie Yushen that he hadn't fully monitored the internal state of the artifact.
However, it was of little consequence.
Within Mo City Fengdu, Li Che had stationed top-tier experts like Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect, along with Han Sixi, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and other Great Gods to lay siege to Zhao Beidou.
Their goal was to prevent Zhao Beidou from breaking out of Mo City Fengdu too quickly.
But now, it appeared...
The situation was more dire than he had anticipated.
Even a group of top-level peaks and Great Gods seemed unable to restrain Zhao Beidou.
Even though Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect could utilize combined techniques to reach the combat strength of a Half-step Martial God, they were still largely ineffective against a true Divine Tribulation expert.
From beneath the black-and-white Yama Mask, Li Che cast a lingering look at Xie Yushen.
Xie Yushen, his entire form radiating a golden light, pressed his fists together in a respectful salute.
"Do not worry, my lord. I shall do everything in my power to seize all of Liang’s fortune!"
"The destiny of this land shall belong to the Underworld!"
Xie Yushen spoke with a fervent tone, his spirit burning with excitement.
Seizing the land's destiny?
A slight smirk played on Li Che’s lips behind the mask.
He pulled his fingers into a fist.
A white chess piece hovered briefly above his palm.
Then, in an instant, he vanished entirely.
Xie Yushen remained in his bowing posture, his fists clenched in salute and his body bent at a ninety-degree angle, his sleeves nearly brushing the earth.
Only after he sensed his lord had completely departed,
Did he slowly stand upright.
An irrepressible grin spread across his face.
"Hahahahahaha..."
A deep, resonant laughter broke from his throat.
He felt a sense of liberation!
A relief unlike anything he had ever known!
Xie Yushen spread his arms wide, his golden hair whipping in the wind, his heart filled with absolute joy.
Having become a God Confining...
Aside from the crushing suppression he felt from his lord, all Xie Yushen could feel was a boundless sense of freedom!
The freedom of a transformed existence!
Now, he...
Was an eternal being who could not truly die!
Possessing a tangible body and his own sovereign will, his latent cultivation talent had been restored, even allowing him to grow stronger by consuming other God Confinings...
