As soon as Yun Che walked out of the Sword Pavilion, Hua Caili rushed over to him, grabbed his arm and looked at him again and again: “Brother Yun, are you… okay?”
“Of course it’s okay.” Yun Che smiled with ease: “Your Father God is indeed as you said, a very gentle person. Not only did he not embarrass me, but when he spoke to me, he even deliberately controlled his divine pressure.”
Hua Caili bit her lip and said softly, "Actually, I heard everything you said."
"Brother Yun, you and Lianzhi go back first. I have something to say to Father God."
As if she had made up her mind, without waiting for Yun Che’s response, she shouted to the front: “Lianzhi, take Brother Yun back to my Sword Pavilion first.”
Hua Lianzhi’s figure quickly approached, and he responded by standing in front of Yun Che: “Mr. Yun, please.”
“Cai Li, don’t conflict with your Father God. All his decisions are actually made with you in mind,” Yun Che reminded.
"I see."
After watching Yun Che leave with Hua Lianzhi, Hua Caili hurriedly stepped into the Yixin Sword Pavilion.
Hua Fuchen raised his eyes and said gently, "I heard everything."
Hua Caili walked closer slowly: "Father God, I..."
"How long have you been together with him?" Hua Fuchen asked.
Hua Caili answered directly: "In the past four months, Brother Yun and I have been together and have never left each other."
"Four months." Hua Fuchen said sadly, "Do you know how long it takes to truly understand a person? Not to mention four months, even if it's four years, four hundred years... you may not be able to truly understand a person in your entire life."
"And your understanding of him is more than just empty. He doesn't even have a history that he can tell you about. The so-called 'master' who saved him only exists in his mouth. It is unknown whether it is true or not, and there is no evidence to prove it after his death."
"I understand Father God's words." Hua Caili said seriously, "But I believe in Brother Yun. No matter what he says, I am willing to believe it."
Hua Fuchen's voice became a little heavier: "The word trust should never be given lightly. Although you are not yet twenty years old, the men you have seen in your life, from the Son of God to the Crown Prince, are all the best in the world. What on earth is there in him that is worthy of you?"
Hua Caili did not answer directly, but asked in the same way as Yun Che just did: “Then what do you think, Father God, was Brother Yun’s motivation in the first place, that he was willing to risk his own life to protect me?”
Painting Floating: "..."
"At that time, we were facing the Ancestral Lin God, who even my aunt could not defeat. For Brother Yun, it was not a dangerous situation, but a situation where there was almost no chance of survival. He could have stayed out of it, but he rushed in and used his body and all his strength to protect me... Father God, you can't imagine how much he paid and how much he was injured."
It was no exaggeration to describe the Level 3 God Lord's initiative to pounce on the First Ancestor Lin God as "a situation of eternal death". Hua Fuchen could not refute this point... Yun Che's saving of his life was beyond doubt no matter what.
Hua Fuchen's voice softened: "I am indeed grateful to him for this matter. That's why, even though I hated that guy so much, I was still so patient with him. However, there are thousands of ways to repay a favor..."
"This has nothing to do with favors!" Hua Caili interrupted Hua Fuchen directly: "I really want to...I really want to be with Brother Yun for the rest of my life. In this life, I can no longer accommodate anyone else."
Hua Fuchen lowered his eyes and said slowly, "You are still young, and your emotions are at their most passionate. But you must know that in this long life, the love between men and women will only be a very small part... so small that it is almost insignificant. Your current passion may only last for a few short years. If you change your entire life for this momentary emotion, you will definitely regret it in the future."
"Father God is lying." Hua Caili looked into her father's eyes: "If it is true as Father God said, then why does Father God often stare at my mother's portrait in a daze until today? Why after I awakened my godhood... I have never set foot in the harem again."
Hua Fuchen stammered for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice, "Because of what happened between your mother and I back then, I...will never allow your life to be swept up in uncontrollable waves."
Hua Caili's eyes were turbulent, and she was heartbroken: "So, even though Brother Yun and I are so determined, Father God is still unwilling to...cancel my engagement with Dian Jiuzhi?"
The sadness in Hua Caili's eyes made his heart pierce, but he could not back down: "Cai Li, you are still too young. You haven't even seen clearly what human nature is, let alone the full picture of the Pure Land and the Kingdom of God. Your engagement with Dian Jiuzhi has never been just an engagement. What it involves is far beyond your understanding. If you force yourself to be with Yun Che, once it is exposed to the world, the consequences and resistance will be far from as simple as you think."
Her father would never lie to her, but he also did not let her feel timid: "Back then, Father God was willing to give up the title of 'Son of God' for Mother. If my identity as 'Goddess' makes Father God so embarrassed, I can also give it up without hesitation."
"Nonsense!" Hua Fuchen scolded, then immediately softened his tone: "Cai Li, you must not be willful in this matter. You should have seen clearly enough over the years how big the difference is between the Son of God and the daughter of God and the children of other gods. This is not just a matter of status, but also determines whether you can inherit the power of the true god as your father in the future, and thus have the absolute power to protect yourself."
As for the inheritance of the Kingdom of God, it is secondary.
Hua Caili still shook her head: "These are not what I want. My aunt also gave up the title of goddess and pursued her own life. So my aunt is more amazing than anyone else now."
"If Father God does not wish, I will personally go to Senluo Divine Kingdom and ask Lord Jueluo to cancel my engagement with Senluo Divine Son!"
After saying that, she turned her head and walked away.
Bang!
Hua Fuchen slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily: "How dare you!"
The loud bang was deafening, Hua Caili's figure froze there, and Hua Fuchen was also stunned for a moment.
In his entire life, he had never said a single angry word to Hua Caili.
As if he had lost all his strength at once, Hua Fuchen slowly sat back down. He looked at his daughter's back and said in a vague voice, "Cai Li, if your father insisted on your separation, would you... hate me?"
Hua Caili turned her head away, and she slowly walked back to Hua Fuchen's side, slowly knelt down beside his knees, and said softly: "No."
“Even if everyone in this world hates Father God, I will never do that.” Her eyes were filled with tears, and every word was full of emotion: “The year I was born, Father God held me in his arms and knelt in front of the Pure Land for seven days and seven nights, knocking his head until his skull was shattered and nine feet of blood stained my body.”
"Every time Father God tempered my soul, he would endure great pain. My aunt said that this kind of pain was like peeling off the heart and soul, which was unbearable for humans, but Father God endured it for me twenty times... And every time the soul tempering was completed, it was so painful, but you always smiled so happily, because your pain made me more 'complete'."
"I know all the kindness and favor that Father God has shown me, so I am always willing to listen to what Father God says. I also know that Father God's decisions are all for me to have the smoothest future. You don't want me to be with Brother Yun because you are afraid that we will repeat the mistakes you and mother made back then..."
"But, I am not my mother, and Brother Yun is not the Father God. This time... just this time, I beg the Father God to allow me to be willful... I beg the Father God to try to believe in me, believe in Brother Yun..."
Hua Fuchen closed his eyes and took a long breath... After a long time, he whispered, "You can leave now."
…
Yun Che followed behind Hua Lianzhi at a leisurely pace, and neither of them spoke.
"You seem to have failed." Li Suo's voice rang out in the soul sea.
Yun Che shifted his attention: "Hmm? How do you say that?"
Li Suo said slowly: "From your conversation with Hua Fuchen, I feel that his will is unshakable."
“What else?” Yun Che raised his eyebrows: “You don’t think I can convince Hua Fuchen, do you? You have to know that I am just a completely unfamiliar outsider after all. No matter how eloquent I am, it is impossible for me to have any impact on the will of a Divine Kingdom God.”
His eyes narrowed slightly: "The only ones who can truly touch the Anxin Divine Master are Caili and her aunt."
"I see." Li Suo seemed to understand: "No wonder you act so calm... or should I say too calm."
Yun Che smiled and said, “Even you think I’m too calm, let alone that Hua Xin Divine Master.”
Li Suo: “?”
An unpredictable arc appeared at the corner of Yun Che’s mouth: “Acting too calmly and too perfectly can sometimes make people feel uneasy.”
"What do you mean?" Li Suo didn't understand.
“You’ll know soon.” Yun Che still had a carefree look on his face: “I was only about 60% sure before, but after meeting with Hua Xin Divine Venerable, I’m now more than 80% sure.”
"He...will definitely take that step."
At this time, a female figure approached quickly from the front, accompanied by an extremely terrifying sword power.
Hua Lianzhi stopped and bowed from a distance: "Lianzhi greets Master Yaoguang Sword."
The woman nodded slightly, and suddenly stopped while passing by, looking sideways and said, "Lianzhi, I heard that Caili has successfully broken through to the God-annihilation Realm. The first breakthrough of a great realm should be an important time to consolidate the foundation of a new realm, but His Majesty does not allow us to see Caili... Do you know why?"
Hua Lianzhi immediately said, "Replying to Sword Master Yaoguang, Her Highness the Goddess has been busy with other matters recently, so the work of consolidating the foundation needs to be postponed. When the time comes, Father God will ask the seven Sword Masters to help."
It was not a very satisfactory answer, and Yaoguang Sword Master did not ask any further questions. He nodded slightly and walked away in a flash.
“Um…Princess Lianzhi, who was this senior just now?” Yun Che asked at the right time.
Hua Lianzhi replied softly, "She is the Yaoguang Sword Master among the Seven Sword Masters of our Divine Kingdom."
“Seven Sword Lords?” Yun Che muttered softly, and then said a little embarrassedly: “I’m sorry, Yun comes from a remote place, and I know very little about the affairs of the Kingdom of God. Cai… Her Highness the Goddess never mentioned it, so Princess Lianzhi laughed at me.”
"How could that be." Hua Lianzhi smiled and then patiently explained, "The Seven Sword Lords are the seven strongest people in my Zhetian Divine Kingdom, except for my father and my aunt. They are all at the highest level of Divine Realm and each controls a sword domain. Their titles are Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. If Master Yun lives in the Divine Kingdom for a long time in the future, he will definitely meet them one by one."
Yun Che nodded: "Thank you Princess Lianzhi for telling me."
The Seven Sword Masters are all at the ultimate divine realm, plus Hua Qingying, in the Zhetian Divine Kingdom alone, there are eight more ultimate divine realms below the True God... It's truly terrifying.
"No need to call me 'Princess'. Young Master Yun is just like my elder sister. Just call me Lianzhi."
As she spoke, she quietly glanced at Yun Che, then quickly averted her gaze as if escaping.
…
When Hua Qingying walked into Jiange, Hua Fuchen was sitting there with a confused look in his eyes.
"How is it?" Hua Qingying asked.
Hua Fuchen raised his eyes, sighed and said, "You have heard it all. You should understand my decision."
"What do you think of Yun Che?" Hua Qingying asked again.
"He is indeed an unexpected boy." Hua Fuchen commented: "I have never seen anyone who can be so calm while standing in front of me with the body of a God Lord. During this time, I even secretly applied some soul pressure to him, but it only made his breathing a little disordered, and soon he recovered as before."
"With such a state of mind, is he really only two hundred years old?"
Hua Caili's heart was so pure, but Yun Che was... This made him unable to help but have a lingering doubt and uneasiness.
Hua Qingying did not show any surprise at this: "His extraordinary qualities are far more than this. Thinking back now, it is really not surprising that Caili likes him so much."
Hua Fuchen looked at her deeply, his eyes complicated: "Qingying, your words are all leaning towards that boy."
"Yes." Hua Qingying did not deny it.
"Are you going to join in the fun?" Hua Fuchen shook his head solemnly, "Cai Li doesn't understand, that kid knows nothing, don't you understand either?"
Hua Qingying slowly walked up to Hua Fuchen and asked a very strange question: "Brother, in your eyes, what is Caili?"
"?" Hua Fuchen frowned: "Cai Li... of course she is my daughter."
Hua Qingying nodded slightly: "Yes, she is your daughter, the only child of you and Wanxin, the only blood of Wanxin left in the world, and the goddess of the Zhetian Divine Kingdom... You transferred and compensated all your love and guilt for Wanxin to Caili. You paved every step of her life for her, carefully led her to avoid all possible risks in life, and even for her future, you have paved the best path for her."
"But you seem to have forgotten that before all these identities, Caili...is herself first!"
Painting Floating: "..."
Hua Qingying continued, "When you were young, you complained to me more than once, saying that you hated it most when someone interfered with your life. But what about Caili? Her life has always been lived in the framework you have woven for her, and she has never been able to step out. Before this experience, even if she occasionally stepped out of the kingdom of God, you would definitely follow her throughout the whole process."
"In your eyes, you are doing your best to protect her life, but to Caili, this is nothing more than a gorgeous cage."
Hua Fuchen sighed softly, "People's thoughts will always change little by little over time, and sometimes they will even turn upside down completely. You know best that I did this because I was afraid. Wanxin has suffered the cruelest fate, how can I let myself and her daughter suffer even the slightest harm!"
"Really?" Hua Qingying closed her eyes slightly and whispered, "After the catastrophe of the First Ancestor Lin God in the sea of fog, what I have been thinking about is how to face you and how to separate the two of them and stop the mistake as soon as possible."
"But, gradually, this thought of mine disappeared bit by bit... After just a few days, I no longer had the desire to forcibly separate them."
"Brother, you can't imagine what Caili looks like when she's with him. She's so happy every moment. I seem to see every breath of her life glowing."
"So," she turned her eyes and stared at Hua Fuchen, "as a father who doesn't want his daughter to be hurt, are you still determined to forcibly tear away the light of life from Caili and put her back into the cage you wove for her?"
Hua Fuchen's body trembled noticeably.
"Or... you are not just afraid of Caili getting hurt." Hua Qingying's voice gradually became cold and chilling: "You are afraid that the Zhetian Divine Kingdom will be stigmatized, you are afraid that the relationship with the Senluo Divine Kingdom will deteriorate, you are afraid of making Emperor Yuan unhappy?"
