Chapter 846: The Voice of Heaven’s Will

Could what Yu Huangtian said be believed?
To be honest, at this point, Su Che actually began to believe it to some extent.
The great disaster that struck his hometown of Caishi Town, and the fate of his true relatives—these were the deepest secrets buried in Su Che’s heart. Aside from Lao Hei in the Immortal Prison, no one else in the world knew about this, not even Tianyin had revealed a single word.
How could Yu Huangtian know?
There were only two possibilities: either he could see through Su Che’s heart, or his path of growth had indeed been arranged by Yu Huangtian on behalf of Heaven’s will.
For Su Che, both possibilities were terrifying.
But the good news was that if what Yu Huangtian said was true, it meant that his dearly missed relatives were still alive. Moreover, in the small world created by Yu Huangtian, they had only lived for less than a year.
Of course, this raised another issue—since his relatives were under Yu Huangtian’s control, it was highly likely he would use them to threaten or suppress Su Che. But as long as they were alive, everything was still possible; they could surely find a way to retrieve them from Yu Huangtian’s grasp.
As long as they were alive, that was the most important thing. For Su Che, this was indeed excellent news.
So, Su Che sent a message to Yu Huangtian, asking, “Can I see them?”
“Not now.”
Yu Huangtian refused immediately without giving any reason, but this didn’t surprise Su Che.
The word of the Immortal Lord was final—there was no way to persuade him through mere words. There was only one solution: overwhelm him in strength so that he wouldn’t dare use them as leverage.
This was obvious common sense, no further explanation was needed.
Su Che nodded gently, striving to stay calm. In such matters, showing too much emotion would only make him weaker, allowing others to exploit it further and pose even greater danger to his relatives’ lives.
“I hope what you say is true,” Su Che said slowly. “Otherwise, my enemy won’t be the Origin Demons—it will be you!”
“I understand,” Yu Huangtian replied with a smile. “I’ll take care of them for you. The key is that you shouldn’t keep them waiting too long.”

Ten thousand years in the outside world meant only one year in their space. But if Su Che took too long to search the chaos for a power attribute capable of restraining the Origin Demons—say, tens of thousands of years to return—his son would have turned into an old man with white hair by then.

“Alright, that’s enough.”

Su Che nodded slowly, appearing quite calm on the surface.

Yu Huangtian also nodded with a smile, and thus their conversation came to an end.

However, Su Che clearly noticed a significant difference in personality between Yu Huangtian and Yu Qing. Yu Qing appeared aloof on the surface but was actually warm-hearted toward friends and family. As for Yu Huangtian, though he seemed amiable, Su Che could sense that he was a ruthless and heartless person.

Was this the quintessential case of personality split…

Su Che stood outside Tianyin’s residence, duty-bound to protect, just like the Witch God. Rising to the rank of Immortal Lord wasn’t something that could be achieved in a few days; it would likely take at least a year and at most three years, according to the Witch God.

Only when Su Che’s mind was completely calm did Lao He dare to ask, “Master, what do you think Yu Huangtian is really up to? I always feel like he’s not a good guy.”

“Hard to say,” Su Che replied inwardly. “Today, he revealed so many secrets to me out of the blue. His purpose is simply to prevent me from getting involved in his merger with Yu Qing. Fine, I can ignore it—but on the condition that he must not harm my family for any reason whatsoever.”

As for whether Yu Huangtian truly had the merit to offer help or support, Su Che wasn’t sure for now, as the matter was clearly not that simple; there must be more to it.

There were even deeper matters he hadn’t mentioned yet.

Lao He then suggested, “Since Yu Huangtian mentioned that Xiao Luotian is also an Immortal Lord created by the Heavenly Dao, verifying this with him could help confirm the truth to some extent.”

“No need,” Su Che sighed inwardly. “There’s no need for further verification. I already have my plans…”

“Alright.”

Lao He knew Su Che’s mental state was extremely complex and couldn’t be explained in a few words. But ultimately, strength determined everything—that was what truly mattered.

With enough strength, even if one’s family caused trouble elsewhere, no one would dare touch them. Let alone having someone dare to capture them to blackmail oneself.

If one didn’t want to compromise, the only option was to raise one’s own strength to a sufficient level. There was no other way.

The silent wait began, day after day, as time kept passing, yet the atmosphere at the scene remained unchanged. The Witch God still stood tall and mighty there, the warriors of the Witch Clan maintained their massive battle formation of hundreds of millions, and the dozen or so Immortal Lords hovered motionless in the air. Within hundreds of thousands of miles, not a bird or beast was in sight—utterly silent, not even a whisper of wind. Everything except time seemed to have stopped, frozen in place. It felt extremely oppressive and dull, but in reality, everyone’s spirit was enjoying life in their own personal worlds; no one cared about this passage of time. Not a single one of the nine Great Demons of the Demon Clan showed up, seemingly unconcerned about how many Immortal Lords had emerged in this universe. Logically, this shouldn’t be the case—each additional Immortal Lord meant a stronger resistance force on the side of the Immortal Realm, which would be highly disadvantageous for the Demon Clan. Even if there were a dozen Immortal Lords here, they could still come and cause trouble. Could it really be that they didn’t care at all? Of course, Su Che didn’t hope for anyone to come and disrupt things; it would be perfect if Tian Yin could advance smoothly. The powerful aura belonging to Tian Yin, concentrated between heaven and earth, grew increasingly intense, indicating that she was getting closer to success. Unavoidably, Su Che’s nerves grew tighter as well. He muttered to himself, “It’s the final stage—nothing more should go wrong. With a dozen Immortal Lords gathered here, if anything happens, it will be earth-shattering and unstoppable…” “Master, you’re always so jinxed. You shouldn’t say such things,” Lao He hurriedly reminded him. “I didn’t say it out loud; I was just thinking it involuntarily,” Su Che defended himself, though Lao He only made him more anxious… Another month passed, and on this day, Tian Yin’s indescribably powerful aura suddenly contracted inward. With a whooshing sound, the sky within hundreds of thousands of miles was torn apart by this sudden change in aura, creating countless deep gray spatial cracks, the longest of which stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles. Whoosh… The visible sky was completely torn apart, as if the end of the Immortal Realm had arrived. If it weren’t for the dozen or so Immortal Lords present, just these terrifying spatial cracks would have reduced the Witch Clan’s stronghold to utter ruins, scraping away layers of ground hundreds of miles thick. At least that’s what would have happened.

Anyway, Su Che was sure that with his own strength alone, he could never control the situation. He had to constantly dodge the havoc caused by the spatial cracks to avoid being swept into them. Clearly, this was the moment after Tian Yin’s promotion, when she acquired unimaginable peak-level power and, momentarily losing control, unleashed a full-force attack through her aura. “This is really…” Several Immortal Lords changed expressions, as the celestial anomalies following Tian Yin’s promotion were far more intense than those when they had ascended. And this was only the beginning. Buzz… The spatial cracks filling the sky continued to slowly close, and another strange vibrating sound resounded throughout the world. The sound wasn’t deafening, but it could spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm. In every corner of the Immortal Realm—whether it was the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Cloudy Immortal Realm, or the Barbaric Immortal Prison—everyone could hear this buzzing sound. As this buzzing continued, the sky of the Immortal Realm began to change color, shifting from sky blue to pale gold. Golden light spread across the land. Countless immortals in the Immortal Realm, no matter what they had been doing before, all performed the same action at this moment: they looked up at the sky! Buzz buzz buzz… The strange buzzing sound resembled chanting. Though it carried no words or clear rhythm, it made all beings in the Immortal Realm feel an indescribable and uncontrollable joy and comfort. There was no need to “understand” it; all intelligent beings could clearly sense deep in their hearts that another Immortal Lord had appeared in the world—Tian Yin. Immortal Lord Tian Yin—this was the divine will sent down for her by heaven. Countless immortals, no matter how far apart they were, would naturally bow in respect toward Tian Yin’s direction; even some lower-level spiritual beasts would lie down on the ground to show submission. At this moment, Witch God showed a pleased expression and sent a message to Su Che, asking, “How much Mysterious Yellow Qi did you give her to create such a phenomenon?” Such a statement was equivalent to admitting that the celestial anomalies following Tian Yin’s promotion also surpassed his own when he had ascended. However, Su Che could sense that Witch God’s tone reflected genuine joy, without any trace of jealousy, indicating that his fatherly affection for Tian Yin was truly sincere. This also raised Su Che’s opinion and evaluation of Witch God slightly. “Master, do you think Tian Yin might be Witch God’s illegitimate daughter?” Lao He muttered softly. “Tian Yin is my wife. How dare you make such a joke?”

Su Che cursed in his heart, “Even if it were true, I once guessed it too, but you can’t say it out loud.”
“I didn’t say it!” Lao He stubbornly defended himself, “I was just guessing…”
Su Che didn’t bother arguing further, for the door had opened, and Tian Yin, who had reached the realm of an Immortal Lord, slowly stepped out of the room.
Immortal Lord Tian Yin—another peak warrior in this universe!
