Grandpa Ye had once told Xi Xi not to recognize her parents too easily, as it could lead them into boundless danger.

Thus, Xi Xi held back.

She did not want her father and mother to face risks, so she restrained the urge to recognize them, becoming polite and very courteous.

She bowed at a ninety-degree angle, incredibly earnest.

Li Che laughed heartily, earnestly observing Xi Xi, looking at his daughter.

"She’s grown thinner..."

Li Che sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Xi Xi felt a tingling sensation run through her spine, like an electric current traveling swiftly from her tailbone to her entire skeleton.

A mist shrouded her eyes.

Despite being extremely resilient on the outside, the moment she saw her father, she seemed to become fragile.

Xi Xi pursed her lips, steadfastly looking at Li Che, though Li Che’s current appearance differed from the father she remembered, the familiar aura gave her unparalleled security.

Originally, entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths left her anxious and frightened, as she faced the vast Nine Heavens and Ten Earths alone, and contended with All Gods, naturally burdened with immense pressure.

Furthermore, the Three Great Gods Camps sought to control and harm everyone around her, forcing her to succumb and accept the Prison Lotus Curse, becoming a puppet of the Heaven and Earth Will...

And now, her father had arrived, bringing a sense of security, allowing the tense emotions Xi Xi held within to completely relax at that moment.

Precisely because of this, Xi Xi felt increasingly reluctant to recognize Li Che, fearing she would implicate her parents and bring upon them mortal danger.

Li Che observed this, seeing his daughter growing ever sensible, which left an unease in his heart.

"In the end, I, as a father... am not strong enough."

Li Che reflected internally, his eyes surged with sharp killing intent.

He must strive to become stronger, strong enough... to confront Immortal Gods, only then can he be his daughter’s shield!

Surrounding Deities looked coldly!

Their mighty aura oppressed Li Che, completely surrounding him.

Constrained by rules, they could not act against the Daughter of Prison Lotus, but they could pressure Li Che.

This representative of Yunxiao Village’s Deity!

Li Che paid no mind to the eyes around him, his heart undisturbed.

Among the Ten Ancient Villages’ Fusion Gods, besides the one from Xuanlei Village whom Li Che had slain and converted into a Soul Capturing, there remained nine Fusion Gods, releasing their powerful aura to press down on Li Che like a mountain.

Roar——!

A sound like an Angry Dragon’s roar resonated.

Tuoba Long from Earth Village shot out like a cannonball, landing beside Li Che, his powerful aura rolling, eyes filled with rage scanning all directions.

"Brother, thank you for your assistance!"

Tuoba Long glared at the surroundings before clasping his fists towards Li Che.

Li Che smiled and returned the salute.

Regarding the cultivators of Earth Village, Li Che remained very polite, grateful for their protection of Xi Xi.

Even, due to protecting Xi Xi, Earth Village’s cultivators were about to face a dreadful crisis, being surrounded by Three Great Gods Camps, possibly leading to their extermination.

Tuoba Long approached Xi Xi, looking at Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu, his eyes softened, feeling a great relief.

"Well done!"

Tuoba Long smiled.

"Next... leave it to me!"

Xi Xi glanced at Li Che, then, with Li Che’s nod, handed the Divine Treasure Order to Tuoba Long.

Meanwhile, Yunhuang and Yun Lei also handed their Divine Treasure Orders to Li Che.

With this, the Divine Child Divine Gambling Battle is essentially over, now comes the God Realm Divine Gambling Battle.

Stepping onto the Ninth Island, atop Spirit Mountain, offers the chance to multiply the Divine Treasure Order’s acquisition, obtaining immense wealth!

This is the greatest opportunity of the Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle!

Buzz buzz buzz——

After handing over the Divine Treasure Order.

Without any hesitation, Tuoba Long twisted his body, under his beast skin clothes, his horrific muscles piled with explosive power, issued a long roar, and strode towards the Teleportation Platform!

"Stop them!"

"Seize the Divine Treasure Orders in their hands, we divide them equally."

The Fusion Gods from the Ten Ancient Villages coldly spoke.

Upon speaking, they excluded the other ancient village deities from this Divine Treasure Order seizing.

However, the Merging Realm battles...

The Divine Fire Realm indeed cannot interfere; if they try to do so, they would only end in becoming cannon fodder, meeting a meaningless death!

Li Che stood with hands behind his back, black hair lashing like lightning, also stepping forward towards the Teleportation Platform.

Xi Xi and others observed; they have the protection of rules, nothing will go wrong.

Thus, they watched the spectacle with excitement and concern.

Boom——!!!

Tuoba Long moved first, stepping out, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, or like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss, disappearing swiftly from where he was, fast beyond belief!

Clashing sounds echoed, Tao Divine Patterns sprinkled down, interwoven into Order Chains.

Great Tao Rivers sprawled horizontally, Tao Divine Patterns interwoven, twisting into braids, forming incredibly thick chains pressing down.

This is the power of the Merging Realm!

Compared to igniting Divine Fire, sensing only a single Tao, Divine Fire Realm is far weaker.

Merging Realm senses various different Dao Yun within the same Tao River, realizing the fusion between Dao Yun, gaining geometrically increased power!

Thus, Merging Realm can almost crush Divine Fire Realm God.

Like Li Che, challenging the Merging Realm with Divine Fire is indeed rare!

Three Fusion Gods jointly launched attacks, shaking the entire island, like an earthquake and mountain avalanche.
