As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 1469: Chapter 395: The Chief Supervisor Is Not the Buddha, Nor Am I Equaling Heaven—To Protect My Daughter, I Must Stand at the Pinnacle of the Three Realms

The Chief Supervisor became increasingly certain that the Underworld Yama before him might be an acquaintance.

"I am not as skilled as others."

The Chief Supervisor said gently, "I should thank Yama for giving me the opportunity to settle the bonds between me and the Imperial Court."

"Are the bonds between the Chief Supervisor and the Imperial Court deep?"

Li Che, wearing the Yama mask, said hoarsely.

"The bond established with the Great Vista’s Grand Ancestor belongs to the heaven and earth’s will as an experiment. If I break it, it will affect the strength of my Divine Tribulation."

The Chief Supervisor spoke honestly, without concealing anything.

"Currently, the Heavenly Orders of the Second Prince and Third Prince have already been used, leaving the Heavenly Orders of the Eldest Prince and Young Prince still in hand."

Li Che nodded thoughtfully.

The Chief Supervisor looked at Li Che, wearing the Yama mask, his gaze becoming more gentle and appreciative, though with a hint of surprise.

The Chief Supervisor’s figure landed on the surface of the Grand Canal, creating ripples.

"Is the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod in your possession? If it truly is, you’d better visit Qi Tian City a year from now, otherwise, the Da Jing Dynasty will lose the qualification to contend for the inheritance of Equal Heaven Temple."

"By then, the inheritance of Equal Heaven Temple will be contested by the Western Regions Buddha Land and the Strange Que Demon Clan. If it falls into the hands of the Western Regions Buddha Land, with their temperament, Central Earth will inevitably become a ghostly Buddha Country, with living beings in dire straits."

The Chief Supervisor sighed softly and said.

"Does the Western Regions Buddha Land not have the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod... yet they can still compete for the inheritance of Equal Heaven Temple?"

Li Che’s voice was slightly hoarse under the Yama mask.

The Chief Supervisor’s gaze was deep: "Equaling Heaven is not the same. Within Strange Que, the camp of all gods desires to recruit him, because Equalling Heaven, currently dormant, upon awakening, might lean towards any of the camps..."

"Equaling Heaven can enter [Black Sumeru], advance to [Dark Heavenly Court], or become the temple god of [Deceit Demon Cave]!"

The Chief Supervisor stated.

Upon hearing this, Li Che’s Yama mask, divided into black and white, flickered slightly with light.

"The Western Regions Buddha Land holds [Universal Salvation Vajra Guanyin Mantra Tightening Ring], while the Strange Que Demon Clan covets Equalling Heaven due to his origins, and the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod represents Central Earth’s faction..."

"So, having obtained the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod, I must trouble you."

The Chief Supervisor said, white mist billowing around his face.

Li Che found it odd, saying: "Chief Supervisor, you being a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, can’t you intervene?"

The Chief Supervisor smiled lightly: "I must halt some decaying entities within Strange Que."

The Chief Supervisor did not elaborate much.

"Strange Que is vast, and Netherworld is boundless. Child... when you enter Strange Que to avoid the tribulation, you will realize the human world is the only remaining pure land."

"Moreover, if you wish to protect your daughter, aside from allowing her to grow strong, you must also strive to become more powerful, standing at the true pinnacle, becoming a colossal power to ensure your daughter’s safety."

"The pinnacle of the human world is insufficient."

"The pinnacle of Strange Que is also insufficient..."

"The pinnacle of Netherworld..."

"Or rather, the pinnacle of the Three Realms..."

The Chief Supervisor said while staring at Li Che, who wore the black and white mask.

These words thoroughly revealed Li Che’s identity.

Then, he said no more.

For above the sky, a terrifying pressure descended suddenly.

Li Che looked up, his eyes slightly narrowing.

He saw Shenxiao Thunder rolling, Destructive God Wind howling, and Netherworld Fire turning into a dragon across the sky!

Three Calamities converged!

What kind of situation is this?!

Li Che took a deep breath, wondering what realm the Chief Supervisor belonged to in Divine Tribulation?!

The terrifying aura of calamity made Li Che feel boundlessly oppressed, even his qi-blood seemed to fall silent.

Yet the Chief Supervisor’s body already began transforming into billowing mist.

"Grand Prospect Dynasty... the disastrous stars blaze across the sky, the national fate is ending."

"The Grand Prospect may perish, but... the common people of the world are innocent..."

The Chief Supervisor before Li Che completely dispersed into smoke and dust.

Above the Grand Canal.

The green water surface rippled gently.

Only the Chief Supervisor’s misty voice floated...

Li Che stood on the river surface, unperturbed.

Yet his gaze had become exceedingly deep.

No one knew for how long he pondered.

Li Che suddenly felt a subtle movement, raised a finger to his brow, sensing the trembling of the Heaven and Earth chessboard.

Then he saw that the Gathering Immortals Yellow Flag, obtained from the Ten-thousand-year-old Peach Forest and stripped of its strange aura by the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit, started to flutter slightly.

Li Che was taken aback.

Within the Inner Scene of the Energy Center.

The Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart gently pulsed, leading Li Che to feel an inexplicable connection between his mind and the Gathering Immortals Yellow Flag.

Then, on the Heaven and Earth chessboard, a picture was projected.

It was the Emperor before the temple god statue at West Queen Mother’s Mysterious Temple, offering up a Gathering Immortals Xuan Flag.

Li Che was secretly surprised.

For he hadn’t left a Flying Thunder Chess Piece on the Emperor.

Yet now he could see the picture through the Heaven and Earth chessboard...

So...

This is the Gathering Immortals Flag resonance?!

Li Che’s expression subtly shifted to oddity.

So the Emperor made such a grand show of Temple God Resonance, aiming for the Gathering Immortals Flag?

Or rather, was it to collect the Gathering Immortals Flag?

However, if the Emperor holds multiple Gathering Immortals Flags, actually assembling the Gathering Immortals Eight Flags, that would be extraordinary.

"The Emperor holds the Gathering Immortals Flag..."

Li Che squinted his eyes.

"That’s quite a coincidence, your name is added to the Book of Life and Death, then your Gathering Immortals Flag... is my Gathering Immortals Flag?"

Suddenly.

Li Che’s mind withdrew from the Heaven and Earth chessboard.

The sound of water breaking apart echoed.

Looking up.

He saw the tranquil surface of the Grand Canal breaking open, the river flowing east.

Yet, a bamboo raft drifted leisurely by.

Upon the bamboo raft.

A figure in white attire sat quietly, holding a cigarette.

Beside the white figure.

Lay a big black dog.
