Chapter 468: That is the responsibility of Di Hao, not yours

In the boundless, vast universe, only a brilliant self-destructive storm existed, even affecting many stars, with the momentum to overturn the Three Pure Worlds.

Di Jin had no choice but, after tightly embracing Shen Qingli for a moment, immediately stride toward the center of the universe, swiftly revealing his power as the overseer of the Taiqing Dian—the ability of the lord of the Three Pure Worlds.

"Fix."

A single syllable's sound, full of order.

The faint Dao sound now, at this moment, together with Di Jin's Dharma Body Divine Form, settles the Three Pure! Establishes the universe.

He, with the supreme emperor of Taiqing's ultimate art, strongly gathers order, dispels violence, and steadies the destruction turmoil caused by the Kirin Lord's self‑detonation.

Why is Jiu Li doing this now?

Di Jin understands clearly.

It knows A Li cares about and still lives among the relatives and friends in the Three Pure Worlds;

It also hopes A Li can continue living under the care of those close relatives and friends;

It worries more that if it does not decisively take the Kirin Lord away, today its fate will become A Li's future fate.

Therefore, he must ensure that this little cat's sacrifice is not meaningless and will not disturb the peace he wishes to protect for A Li.

This little cat……

It acted so convincingly it deceived him.

That elixir is clearly not its primordial pill.

Yes.

Indeed not.

So, the black‑white primordial pill Shen Qingli just produced no longer carries Jiu Li's aura.

"This is Li Li formed from its heart; it knows you also like and cherish it, absolutely cannot let it go to die, so I am cooperating with it to set a trap to deceive you."

"Because it also loves you deeply, it hopes not every burden falls on you; since it can do this, it wishes to truly help you bear it once."

"Yu Jia recalled Jiu Li's earlier request to her; she really couldn't refuse, and looking at Shen Qingli, she said, 'Just as you don't want us to come to harm, we never want you to get hurt again.'"

"But my contract with Li Li was a temporary decision!" Shen Qingli stared at the lifeless, heavy heart, not understanding! Could Jiu Li possibly have foreseen this?

"But after Li Li advanced, it sensed via its special bond with the Kirin Lord that the Kirin Lord is not dead, and it can use that bond to take the Kirin Lord away."

"It also knows you will surely exert all your strength to protect it, so no matter what you decide, I will cooperate with it, holding that heart it extracted, to put you at ease."

"As for how it deceived your Pan Ancestor Pupil, I actually don't know. But I'm sorry, I deceived you." Yu Jia clearly understood this would anger Shen Qingli.

But the Kirin Lord recovered too quickly! She couldn't just watch Shen Qingli be drained to death.

Moreover, at this moment the Kirin Lord is indeed at its weakest, absolutely the easiest moment to eliminate.

"You haven't let me down." Shen Qingli firmly but gently grasped Jiu Li's lifeless heart, feeling it—even it was fading away.

"A Li?" Yu Jia's phoenix‑like eyes locked onto her, her heart a little panicked!

"You are the Phoenix Ancestor and the Ancestor of Myriad Feathers; you wish to protect the juniors and preserve the Three Pure—that is correct."

"I,"

"Just as you initially saw Li Li bearing part of the Kirin Lord's primordial pill and deemed it must be executed, you did it for the survival of more beings and the so‑called Three Pure Order."

"I,"

"Actually, the Myriad Spirits of the Three Pure, including the Three Pure Worlds and even the Three Pure Universe, are not important to me—Li Li isn't important, nor are you, Jiu Ying, Xiao Bai, Shen Que, and Xiao Xingxing."

These words left Yu Jia and the others completely silent!

They stared blankly at Shen Qingli, who seemed calm, but they could feel she was deeply grieved!

"It's not even the final moment—why must we die?" Shen Qingli's gaze, so calm it frightened Yu Jia and the others; they are all beings of absolute power, the current era's strongest beast gods.

But facing Shen Qingli now, they truly are afraid, even at a loss.

"I know you love me, yet you also understand revenge, letting me lose so suddenly, forever living in longing and heartache for you."

"No!"

"A Li!"

Several beasts panicked.

Jiu Ying simply reverted to its initial hatchling form and hurriedly clung to Shen Qingli's leg!

"Anyway, I'm different from them! Master, I can never defy your orders! Tell me what to do, even if I don't understand, I'll do it! I just grew nine brains for nothing—I won't think, I'll surely not oppose you!"

Shen Que heard this and nearly exploded with anger! Could it possibly do that?

Damn fat lump! Even dead it harms it—no, forget the fat lump.

"Give it to me." Di Hao suddenly spoke.

Shen Qingli remained silent, and placed Jiu Li's false primordial pill into the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"I can save it."

"Then you go die."

Shen Qingli really wanted to keep Jiu Li.

But that doesn't mean she wants someone to die in place of Jiu Li.

If so, it could only be the Kirin Lord, He Tian, Xiahou, Yin Zhi, and such enemies.

Di Hao is not, but——

Di Hao said, "Killing the Kirin Lord is my responsibility, the promise I made to Yun Ling—not its. While it still has a thread of karma in this world, let me fulfill this vow and accompany Yun Ling."

Shen Qingli was unmoved.

But still in the Supreme Universe, establishing the Three Pure, Di Jin said, "Give it to him."

Shen Qingli looked at him; he had already freed a hand to reach out to her, "Or give it to me."

"I,"

It's not about rushing forward one after another to die; you can relax.

I will gather its scattered breath, he will steady it; even if we cannot save it, at least do not let it disperse.

Didn't it say that in the next life you should find it sooner? It didn't want to leave, don't be sad. Come, give it to me.

Interrupting Shen Qingli's refusal, the resolute and gentle Di Jin, as towering and magnificent as his present Heaven-Earth Dharma Form—reliable.

It allowed Shen Qingli to break through completely; he was still the brother's filter—hazy, yet he firmly recalled that statue which clearly had once greatly influenced her!

He, it's him!

She, she actually forgot!

She actually only remembered obtaining the life-changing Immortal Demon Transformation in an ancient god relic, and forgot him.

"Quick," before Di Jin's urging words were finished, Shen Qingli had already taken out the Nine Li's heart pellet and placed it into his huge hand, which could completely encompass the Three Pure Worlds in one palm.

Di Jin cupped the bead, tiny as dust, closed his eyes without a word, maintaining order with overbearing dominance; while suppressing the chaotic Qilin king's divine ability with iron-blooded resolve, he gathered as much as possible the nearly vanished breath of the Nine Li.

Almost simultaneously! Shen Qingli's breath had already "attached" to his breath and risen; the Nine Li and she share the same origin and symbiosis, so finding the Nine Li's remnant breath will certainly require her breath.

This time, she is no longer the leader, for her command of rules is not as familiar as Di Jin's; thus she actively attaches herself and assists him.

United as husband and wife, Shen Qingli desperately searches and perceives; Di Jin strives to envelop and organize.
