Although Yun Xi had grown up, she still longed for the nourishment of her father and mother's love. However, girls tend to avoid their fathers when they grow up, so Yun Che could no longer hold her casually and be so close to her like he did with Xing Luo.
"Mother, father once said that he would let us meet again before he went back, but until the moment we set foot on the Elemental God Tower, you still didn't respond. Maybe in his eyes, our existence is not that important." Yun Xi held the Zhutian Ancestral Sword with a gloomy expression, her lips trembling slightly, and her hands subconsciously held the sword tighter, as if it was her only support at the moment.
"Xi'er." Yun Che's soul had undergone a transformation, and he keenly sensed Yun Xi's abnormality. Those who existed in this small space on this level of the Elemental God Tower were all those who were closest to Yun Che.
Yun Che came in front of Yun Xi in an instant.
Hua Caili understood Yun Che's thoughts. She gently picked up Xingluo, not feeling any resistance at all. Yun Che had already informed her through telepathy. Hua Caili already knew about Yun Xi's past, and she felt only pity for him. Therefore, she completely agreed with Yun Che's actions, without any jealousy at all.
“…”
Yun Xi looked up blankly, looking at her father who seemed like a dream in front of her. Her eyes, which were originally filled with mist, became even more hazy, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"You promised me that you would wake mother up before leaving, but now..."
A trace of guilt flashed across Yun Che's eyes, and he whispered, "I did promise that. But Shen Xi's soul is too weak right now. In this Abyssal World filled with Abyssal Dust, if she's not careful, her soul will be invaded by the Abyssal Dust, and the consequences will be disastrous. So, let's wait until we reach the God Realm to wake her up, okay? Father will never forget what he promised you. It's just that we were in such a hurry that I didn't have time to discuss it with you, and I'm sorry to have caused you so much grief."
"Okay!" Yun Xi nodded gently. At this moment, she truly felt cherished and surrounded by happiness. "But you are not allowed to lie to me again, otherwise I will never forgive you."
A warm smile spread across Yun Che's face. He extended his finger, hooked his pinky, and said to Yun Xi, "Let's make a pinky promise. This is your father's solemn promise to you, and I will never break it."
Both of them had grown up, yet they were playing pinky promises like children. Yun Xi's face, however, revealed a joy she had never experienced before. She nervously extended her finger and gently touched Yun Che's. This was the first time she had such an intimate contact with her father.
Yun Che could make such a promise because, after five years of nurturing, Li Suo was on the verge of manifesting a physical body. The Creator God of Life's creative power was constantly increasing, and its healing power over the soul was also continuously strengthening. Furthermore, Shen Xi and Li Suo were cultivating the profound power of light together, making the healing process even more effective.
Just then—
boom!
boom!
boom!
Loud noises exploded like thunder.
"What's going on?"
"Is the Elemental God Tower going to break apart?"
"We won't die on the road, will we?"
…
Everyone exclaimed in surprise. A massive shockwave, like a surging tide, rushed straight towards the entire Elemental God Tower. This was the ripples caused by the destruction of the Abyss World. Even with Mo Su and his men's full efforts to resist and weaken it, some of the power still leaked out.
The mere spreading destructive shockwave caused the entire Elemental God Tower to shake violently. The elemental light on the tower flickered, as if it would be extinguished at any moment. The abyssal passage also began to become unstable, as if being wantonly kneaded by an invisible hand. Everyone's heart and soul were filled with a deep sense of unease. In this life-or-death moment, no one could remain calm.
Yun Che knew the situation was critical, so he had no choice but to exert all his strength and focus all his attention on controlling the Elemental God Tower. He knew in his heart that if they were caught in the spatial turbulence, perhaps all of them would be lost forever, unable to return to the God Realm and see the light of day again.
"Daddy, Xingluo is scared..."
Xingluo's uneasy and frightened voice could be heard around Yun Che.
"Xingluo, don't be afraid. Daddy is here. Everything will be fine. Get some sleep. Daddy promises that when you wake up, you will see the 'Eternal Pure Land' you've longed for." Yun Che tried his best to comfort Xingluo with his most gentle voice. "Cai Li, take good care of the child, and take care of yourself at the same time."
Hua Caili held Xingluo in her arms and nodded with a firm look.
Above the Elemental Tower, the light of the five elements—water, fire, wind, thunder, and earth—flashed once again, illuminating the entire abyssal passage. However, the aftermath of the destruction from the Great World remained terrifyingly powerful, even this artifact of creation, spanning millions of years, struggled to withstand it. The Elemental Tower's direction of advance was constantly shifting, and it looked as if it would soon crash into the wall of the passage.
“Ugh!” The veins on Yun Che’s forehead bulged, and sweat poured down like rain. He used all his strength to mobilize the elemental power in his body to control the direction of the entire divine tower.
Evil Soul - Burning Heart - Purgatory - Thundering Heaven - Hell Emperor - Divine Ashes, all activated in an instant. Yun Che, now without the power of a True God, was unable to directly initiate the Heavenly Reversal Realm. The improvement brought to Yun Che by the six major realms was minimal, and his ultimate power remained at the ninth level of the Divine Realm. Even though he was only one step away from the True God Realm, this step was a chasm that could never be crossed.
Yun Che gradually felt his strength draining away, while the Elemental God Tower still showed no signs of stabilizing. At this critical moment, the dark elemental seed within his body shone with an eerie light, activating the sixth elemental power hidden within the Elemental God Tower.
Instantly, this divine artifact of creation seemed to be reborn. The traces of age-worn artifacts on the Elemental Tower gradually faded, and a terrifying aura, only seen in ancient times, emanated. The abyssal passageway shone brightly, further dispelling the aftermath of destruction. All elemental forces converged in an instant, forming a gray glow that enveloped the Elemental Tower. At this moment, the destructive force from the abyss could no longer hinder the Tower's progress.
