# Chapter 1391: Spiritual Nirvana
Toward Yun Wuxin, Yun Che held endless love and affection, as well as endless guilt.
And amidst that guilt, there was always one thing that comforted him... that Yun Wuxin had inherited a small portion of his Evil God Divine Power, granting her extremely outstanding, even transcendent profound path talent. At twelve years old, she had already become an Overlord Emperor in this lowly plane. Without a doubt, her future would be incredibly brilliant, and before long, she would surpass Feng Xue'er, recreating the "myth" he once achieved.
This was not only comfort, but also a great pride as a father.
But now...
Fortunately, although Yun Wuxin's profound force had dissipated, her profound meridians were not damaged. Or even if they were damaged, as long as they weren't completely destroyed, Yun Che could now repair them. Profound force could be regained through cultivation... but the talent that should have allowed her to dominate the world was gone.
Forever gone.
His long-silent Evil God's Mysterious Vein had awakened, and his profound force, divine body, divine soul, and divine perception were recovering every moment... but the price for all this was his daughter's future.
If he could give all of this back to her, even if it meant being permanently crippled, he would not hesitate... but even that, he was utterly incapable of doing.
His body trembled, his heart convulsed, and his soul was in complete chaos. His gradually twisting fingers clawed at his skull until it slightly deformed, yet he was completely unaware... not even noticing when Yun Wuxin woke and gently opened her eyes.
"Father..." Yun Wuxin looked at her father, calling out softly. But she was too frail, and her voice was as light and soft as cotton.
Yun Che's entire body jolted violently. He raised his head abruptly, meeting Yun Wuxin's hazy, misty gaze. He quickly leaned forward and said in a voice as gentle as possible, though still hoarse: "Xin'er, you're awake... Are you... are you hungry now... Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere..."
Yun Wuxin shook her head very lightly: "Father, why are you crying?"
"Huh?" Yun Wuxin's words made Yun Che suddenly aware of the cold, wet traces on his face. He quickly reached up, frantically wiping them away, forcing a smile: "No, no. How could Father possibly cry? It's just... just..."
Before he could finish, his voice choked up... a choking he simply could not control or suppress.
"..." He turned away, but his body and voice still trembled. He tried hard to adjust for a long time, but could not force himself to be calm. Only painfully said: "Xin'er, why... did you..."
"Father," Yun Wuxin interrupted the words about to leave his mouth. Her pale face revealed an incomparably pure and beautiful faint smile: "You were so weak before, it made me feel not safe at all. From now on, I can finally be protected by Father to my heart's content... hehe."
"..." His heart, even his entire soul, was filled with something too warm. After a long time, he finally forced out the words: "Father will... protect you for life... If anyone dares to harm you... I will surely..."
He could not continue, nor could he go on.
"Mm!" Yun Wuxin responded with great effort. Even though she had lost all her profound force and talent, her face was full of happiness and satisfaction: "Then Father must protect himself first... Ah, I just woke up... but I'm a little sleepy again. Father looks really tired too... go to sleep, okay?"
Yun Che's face was extremely haggard... but Yun Wuxin did not know that her father's power level was very, very high, and he had long since had no need for sleep.
"Alright..." Yun Che nodded lightly.
Yun Wuxin's lips curved gently, and her eyes closed heavily. She seemed to try to struggle, but her too-frail body could not resist drowsiness. With a slight flutter of her eyelashes, she fell asleep again.
"..." Yun Che softened his breathing, but his chest heaved violently.
Silently watching Yun Wuxin, he slowly reached out his hand toward her sleeping face... but just as he was about to touch her, his hand stopped, then suddenly withdrew.
This hand of his had touched countless sins, brushed countless darknesses, stained countless bloods... and had personally taken away his daughter's talent.
He withdrew his arm, silently stood up, and walked out of the room.
His gaze was turbid, dazed.
The door pushed open. The sky had unknowingly darkened. Feng Xian'er stood in a corner of the courtyard, her beautiful eyes full of tears, her eye sockets red. Seeing Yun Che, she hurriedly wiped away the teardrops on her face and walked toward him, but her steps were extremely timid...
"Young master, I..." Feng Xian'er lowered her head, not daring to look into Yun Che's eyes.
"There's no need to say anything." Yun Che did not look at her, his gaze vacant, his voice weak: "It's not your fault."
"I... I..." Yun Che's emotionless voice made Feng Xian'er even more panicked: "I really didn't know that the Lord Phoenix God would... I..."
"Leave." Yun Che's face was expressionless, still not looking at her: "Go back to where you should be."
"..." Feng Xian'er was stunned, tears she had been holding back streaming down: "Young master... please don't send me away... Let me take care of Xin'er, okay... I..."
"Leave." Yun Che closed his eyes.
"..." Feng Xian'er's body swayed, tears gushing like a spring. She reached up and pressed hard against her lips to stifle her sobs. Through her completely blurred vision, she looked blankly at Yun Che's back for a long moment, then finally turned and left...
Beneath the night sky, sparkling teardrops scattered like stars.
"..." Yun Che raised his head, looking at the full moon in the sky.
Tonight's moonlight was especially dim, as if veiled by a thin, dark cloud. The night wind was also unusually cold, though only in wisps, it could penetrate to the bone.
He stared at the night sky, motionless for a long time, as if petrified.
A figure approached and silently stood beside him. She was dressed in snow-white, like a celestial maiden descended from the heavens under the moonlight, seeming to brighten the entire night sky.
"Xiao Xiannü..." Yun Che did not turn his head, speaking dazedly: "Tell me... am I... the most useless, most failed father in this world..."
Chu Yuechan looked at him and nodded gently: "Yes."
Yun Che slowly closed his eyes.
"Back then, when Xin'er was still in the womb, she was attacked by evil hands, nearly losing her life." Chu Yuechan spoke softly: "At that time, you did not protect her, nor were you by her side... and you were completely unaware."
"When she was born, I nearly died. You did not witness her birth, and you came very close to making her an orphan with neither father nor mother from birth."
"..." Yun Che's body trembled violently.
"For eleven years, she lived with me in a world cut off from everything. She accompanied me, protected me, while her father grew stronger day by day, his status higher day by day, yet never accompanied her for a single moment, never protected her for a single moment. Making her life more lonely and incomplete than any other girl."
"But after we reunited, she never showed any dissatisfaction or resentment toward you that she should have. Only closeness. When you were severely injured, she was willing to give up her talent without hesitation for you... even if it meant returning to mediocrity for life."
"..." Yun Che's body swayed in the night wind.
Chu Yuechan's gaze became especially gentle: "Xin'er is a good daughter, our pride. But you... are not a good father. Perhaps as you said, you are the most useless and most failed father."
She turned to face him, her gaze even brighter than the moonlight: "So, are you going to comfort yourself with self-blame and guilt, or are you going to be a better, stronger father to protect her and make it up to her?"
His chaotic soul was struck heavily yet gently... Yun Che's trembling, swaying body froze.
Withdrawing her gaze, Chu Yuechan turned and walked away slowly... After a few steps, she suddenly stopped and said softly: "Just now, I saw Xian'er leaving in tears. You should understand that in this matter, she is the most helpless and innocent person."
"Over the past year or more, all of us could see that she has a pure heart for you, yet she never expressed it, nor did she ever hope for a response. Regarding Xin'er's matter, she blamed herself entirely, already in great pain. Not only did you not comfort her, but you vented the sorrow and resentment in your heart onto the most innocent girl who was already blaming herself deeply..."
"You are also a father. Have you ever put yourself in her father's shoes to think how he would feel if he knew his daughter was treated like this?"
Yun Che: "..."
Chu Yuechan left. Yun Che still stood there, motionless for a long time, without speaking, without moving, even his expression unchanged... only his gaze flickered chaotically under the moonlight.
Mo Li's words to him when they parted in the Xing Shen Realm...
Xia Qingyue's resolute departure after sending him to the Reincarnation Forbidden Land...
The words Shen Xi had said to him time and again...
All surfaced in his mind, interweaving chaotically.
"You bear the only creation divine power in this world. You have talent and opportunities that they wouldn't dare to hope for in ten lifetimes. You are the one most qualified to have ambition in this world... So why is your first reaction to return to the lower realm?"
......
Time flowed silently. Unnoticed, the dark clouds that had been veiling the bright moon quietly dispersed.
The chaos in his heart gradually settled. His eyes slowly became clear. Gradually, even the night wind was no longer cold, and the moonlight spilling from the night sky was tranquil and warm.
"Thank you, Xiao Xiannü." Yun Che murmured to himself, a very faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
He raised his hand and looked at his palm. As his divine body recovered on its own, he could once again feel the affinity between his body and the world's spiritual energy. This meant that the Desolate God's Power was also beginning to awaken.
His hand clenched, then gradually tightened. What surged through him was not only newfound power, but also an eternal responsibility and a new life.
Xin'er... he whispered in his heart... The power I have now was born because of you. So this is not only my power, but also yours.
For you, for all the important people around us, so that I will never lose again and never regret again — I will grasp this power now, make it even stronger, make myself the most powerful person in this world, so that no one in this world can ever bully any of you in the slightest.
No matter how hard, no matter how long.
No matter the lower realm, or the divine realm!
