Chapter 126

As the words fell, you offered up the Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Blood Lotus.

"Such a powerful aura."

Lin Qingfan, his daughter, exclaimed in surprise, asking, 'Father, what treasure is this?'

"This is my lifebound treasure."

You smiled and said, "Do you still remember the Heavenly Dao Divine Office and Chaos Immortal Treasure I told you about?"

"Remembered!" Lin Qingfan nodded heavily.

You explained, "You can understand it as a Chaos Immortal Treasure, not controlled by Heavenly Dao but controlled by sentient beings."

"In other words..."

His daughter widened her eyes, "Father, have you already stepped into the Wangxian Realm?"

"Yes."

At this point, you had to come clean: "But my cultivation has encountered some problems; I can no longer withstand the power of this realm."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Qingfan, his daughter, her face changed drastically, sensing something was wrong.

Your expression was bitter.

"Sorry, Father fears he cannot stay with you much longer; he must leave again, and this departure may be a long one"

"No… cannot!"

His daughter panicked, "There must still be a way! You are the most powerful cultivator of today's world; how could you not even control your own fate?"

You shook your head, "There's nothing to be done."

You supported your daughter's shoulders, gazing into her eyes, "Qing Fan, listen to me; what Father will do next is important for both of us."

"Dad, I don't want you to go~"

Tears welled up in his daughter's eye sockets.

Meeting means parting; for any sentient being that values affection, this is something hard to accept.

"Qing Fan, this is the only way."

You solemnly said, just as when Ye Xue single-handedly blocked five peers of equal strength to help you seize the Chaos Immortal Treasure.

Now is the time for you to sacrifice yourself and fulfill your daughter.

"Qing Fan, Father will help you enter the True God Realm; only then can you gain a sliver of life, so we can meet again in the future."

"Live well; I will go find your mother. In the years without parents, you need to endure on your own."

"Can you do it?"

You do not wish your daughter to die.

Some things, Lin Chuan cannot predict.

How much time remains until the end of the dream-reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon Chaos from the Nine-Phase Realm of the Real World?

Ten thousand years?

One hundred thousand years?

One million years?

Everything is unknown.

But there is a very important clue placed before Lin Chuan.

As of today, this world still calls the realms Star Realm and Mundane World, and the connection between the Two Realms has not been severed.

Then where does the Nine-phase World come from?

Why do later generations keep silent about the Legendary Realm?

Is it merely because of the gap between the realm and the Daoism law?

I think there are deeper reasons.

This lifetime's reincarnation is already nearing its end; many things remain unclear to Lin Chuan.

Precisely for this reason, he wants his daughter to live on, hoping to meet again in the future.

"Father, can we really meet again in the future?"

Lin Qingfan, his daughter, asked you.

Perhaps this is her hope to live on.

"Will."

You instructed, "Your master Yang Zu has already returned; she will soon enter the Wangxian Realm; follow her and cultivate well."

"If you can enter the Wangxian Realm as the heavens and earth grow, then that would be best."

"If you cannot, do not force yourself."

"If your time comes, you will seal yourself in slumber; Father and Mother will surely find you."

You gave a series of instructions.

Lin Qingfan, his daughter, finally stopped refuting; hope rose again in her eyes.

"Come on!"

You offered up that wisp of Immortal Divine Power from the Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Blood Lotus, enveloping your daughter Lin Qingfan.

In that battle with the Dragon Clan, Lin Qingfan's sacrifice left her soul perpetually in a defective state; not only did it not recover, it got worse.

She should have had her soul hooked by the Underworld, harmed by the Reincarnation law, making it irreversible.

You want to reverse this state for her, but you must bear the corresponding cost.

You forcibly gathered your daughter's shattered Void Deity Dao, intending to use heaven-defying great power to forcibly oppose the Heavenly Dao Law.

Soon you encountered obstruction.

In the process of opposing the Heavenly Dao Law, you felt a familiar power.

The wielder of the Heavenly Dao Divine Office has taken action!

The one who made the move is still your old good brother, the Tianhu Shizu who succeeded you in charge of the Reincarnation Mirror.

You know well how terrifying the suppression of divinity is.

At this moment, the Tianhu Shizu would certainly not yield to you.

You can only forcibly oppose the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Law.

Boom—

Your standoff with the Heavenly Dao Law has evoked more and more omens, and the power of several other holders of the Heavenly Dao Divine Office is gradually becoming apparent.

Reversing your daughter's Heaven's Mandate seems even more difficult than you imagined.

Perhaps because you defy heaven, as a being who has stepped into the Wangxian Realm, the Heaven's Will still targets you.

"O denizens of Di Yu, hear my command once again."

You attempt to stir the whole of Di Yu, thereby opposing the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Law.

Between heaven and earth, ferocious gates of Di Yu rise up from the ground.

Xiu Luo, skeletons, Corpse King, ghost generals, Ye Cha, Wu Chang, Yama, Pan Guan...

The denizens of the netherworld who once honored you as their lord have all mobilized at this moment; they wish to aid you, but are restricted by the Heavenly Dao Law and cannot truly emerge from Di Yu.

Seeing this, you make a Great Vow with Immortal Divine Power.

"I wish to sacrifice one soul and one spirit in Di Yu's reincarnation, to bless my daughter Lin Qingfan's soul to heal."

At your level, a mere gesture can affect the world.

You wish to dissolve one soul and one spirit into Di Yu's reincarnation; what a great vow this is—it immediately triggers countless omens, even forcing the Heavenly Dao Law to comply.

Affected by your Great Vow, the myriad ghosts of Di Yu answer the call, using your Immortal Divine Power as a foundation, they forcibly shake the reincarnation law.

At this moment, your daughter Lin Qingfan's immortal soul is finally made whole.

She also naturally steps into the True God Realm, condensing an extremely strong True God Core.

And you, having voluntarily scattered one soul and one spirit into Di Yu's reincarnation, find your already limited lifespan even harder to sustain.

You did not mind.

Next, you make a second Great Vow.

You say: "I wish to expend my lifelong divine power, to split my natal treasure, the Twelve-Petal Red Lotus, into three, letting the lotus seeds fall into the world, transforming into white lotuses that bless Mortal Dust."

"May the virtue that blesses Mortal Dust exchange for my daughter Lin Qingfan's undying lifespan, until merit is exhausted."

This is not only for your daughter, but also to settle the regret of Xiao Ya Huan.

"May there be distinction between immortal and mortal, and let no hope be left empty."

After making the two great vows, your body and immortal soul grow ever weaker, and your Immortal Divine Power gradually slips from your control.

You gaze toward the edge of the Star Domain.

There, a Long Rainbow flees toward this place.

Yang Zu promised you that, if you reach the end of your journey, she will come to see you off.

Yang Zu·Purple Majesty descends to the world.
