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]...

"Give it a shot. See if you can stabilize this Luck Golden Lotus and reclaim your command over the forces of destiny."
Li Che spoke with a calm indifference.
This objective was precisely why he had been so intent on resurrecting Xie Yushen.
Due to Xie Yushen’s prior demise, the Luck Golden Lotus had begun to slowly fade away.
Even the towering golden pillar of destiny, which bridged the gap between the heavens and the earth, was on the verge of total collapse...
"As you command."
Xie Yushen’s posture immediately became rigid.
He was well aware that despite his meager Cultivation, his true worth was found in his sharp intellect, his silver tongue, and—most crucially—his unique authority over destiny!
If he could seize back control of Dajing’s Luck Golden Lotus...
His standing within the Underworld would surpass anything he had previously imagined!
From Li Che’s casual remark, Xie Yushen had already caught a specific scent.
It was...
The scent of raw ambition!
Xie Yushen’s eyes flickered with a brilliant light, and his God Confining Heart began to throb with a wild excitement...
The time had come to prove his utility!
He didn't fear Li Che’s grand designs; he only worried that Li Che might lack them.
Only through such ambition would Li Che truly value the contributions Xie Yushen offered!
Floating atop the Luck Golden Lotus, Xie Yushen threw his arms wide. He invoked the authority and capacity granted to him by the Great Vista Emperor to guide and dominate the six portions of Dajing’s Luck.
Buzzing—
An invisible wave of momentum erupted outward.
Xie Yushen’s eyes were instantly dyed a magnificent gold, and his aura surged upward without pause!
He had actually returned to the peak state he held before Li Che had crushed the life out of him!
His destiny had been fully restored!
Behind his back, the Calamity Roulette began to manifest slowly, though it remained somewhat blurred.
His presence climbed until it reached the very zenith of the Half-step Divine Realm!
Li Che’s black robes snapped violently in the rising gale, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Impressive."
As Xie Yushen regained his grip on the power of destiny, his gaze shimmered with intent.
"You understand your next objective, do you not?"
"You are to 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 flashed, his mind instantly syncing with Li Che’s strategic vision.
"Understood."
"The destiny of this realm... if Dajing can possess it, then Qian Yuan can possess it as well."
Hidden behind his mask, Li Che let out a soft, knowing smile.
Hearing those words, Xie Yushen couldn't suppress a laugh.
Whether he was gathering the Qi Fortune of the various divine Sects for the Great Vista Emperor or for his new master, the process remained the same...
The responsibilities were identical; he had simply traded one allegiance for another.
The Emperor still clung to four portions of Dajing’s Luck. His lack of total trust was evident, as he had only permitted Xie Yushen to cultivate six portions across three Luck Golden Lotuses.
It was logical, of course; no ruler would find it reliable to place the entire fate of a nation in the hands of a single subordinate.
Logic aside, Xie Yushen could clearly sense the Emperor's inherent stinginess.
In contrast, a man like his current lord would surely not be so paranoid or guarded against him...
Xie Yushen felt a surge of competitive spirit.
He realized his lord wanted him to maintain his cover within the court’s camp, using the imperial military as a blunt instrument to topple mountains and shatter rival Sects.
While the two sides clashed, the true victors reaping the rewards would be the Underworld and the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Rumble—
Hmm?!
The Mo City Fengdu began to tremble and roar with sudden violence.
Having pulled in the Divine Tribulation Cultivator Zhao Beidou, the Mo City Fengdu appeared to be suffering through a series of cataclysmic internal explosions.
In reality, the time that had passed since Li Che acted as King Yan—leading to Xie Yushen’s retaliation with the Luck Golden Lotus and his subsequent death and God Confining transformation—was brief.
Barely thirty to forty breaths had ticked by.
Within the depths of Mo City Fengdu, it was likely that Zhao Beidou, a powerhouse of the Divine Tribulation, was unleashing every ounce of his strength to shatter his confinement.
Li Che had been entirely preoccupied with the execution of Xie Yushen and hadn't focused on the internal chaos.
However, it was of little consequence.
Inside 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 swarm Zhao Beidou.
Their task was to stall Zhao Beidou and prevent a swift escape from Mo City Fengdu.
But looking at it now...
The situation was more dire than he had anticipated.
Even a coordinated assault by so many elite masters and Great Gods seemed insufficient to halt Zhao Beidou.
Though Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect could combine their powers to reach the combat strength of a Half-step Martial God, they were still largely outmatched when facing a genuine Divine Tribulation expert.
From behind the black-and-white Yama Mask, Li Che cast a lingering look at Xie Yushen.
Xie Yushen, his entire form radiating a golden glow, cupped his fists in a respectful salute.
"Do not worry, my lord. I shall do everything in my power to siphon away all of Liang’s fortune!"
"The destiny of this land shall belong to the Underworld!"
Xie Yushen spoke with a fervent, high-pitched tone, his spirit clearly soaring.
Siphon the land's destiny?
Beneath his mask, Li Che’s mouth curled into a slight smirk.
He closed his fist.
A single white chess piece hovered momentarily over his palm.
Then, in an instant, he vanished into thin air.
Xie Yushen remained in his submissive bow, his hands clasped and his sleeves nearly brushing the earth in a ninety-degree arc.
Only after he was certain his master had departed completely did he slowly rise.
An irrepressible grin spread across his features.
"Hahahahahaha..."
A deep, resonant laughter bubbled up from his throat.
He felt a profound sense of relief!
A liberation 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.
After his transformation into a God Confining...
Setting aside the innate suppression his lord held over him, all Xie Yushen felt was an boundless sense of freedom!
The freedom of a fundamentally altered existence!
Now, he...
Was an entity that was truly eternal and undying!
Possessing a physical form and his own sovereign will, his previous limitations in Cultivation talent had been rectified. He could now grow even stronger by consuming other God Confinings...
