The scene changed once more. Qin Yin had grown up, and her father had aged.
Under the window, Qin Jin was combing his daughter's hair with a doting expression on his face. He said with a smile, "Xiao Yin is looking more and more like your mother. Just as beautiful, just as dignified and virtuous."
Qin Yin stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "I'm not virtuous."
Qin Jin couldn't help but laugh. "But you have to learn to be virtuous. Don't spend all your time with Xiao Xi thinking about fishing, hunting, and practicing martial arts. Don't forget that you are the heir to the empire. You are the future ruler of the country, not some wandering hero of the pugilistic world!"
"I know. Father, you're here again."
"Alright, alright. I won't talk about it anymore."
…
Outside the window, Qin Yin looked at her past self and her father, who had passed away a long time ago. Tears flowed from her eyes as she murmured softly, "Father, Father …"
Rustle, rustle …
Lin Muyu walked over from behind. He had already entered Qin Yin's illusion. He gently held onto Qin Yin's shoulder and said, "Xiao Yin, this is all an illusion. You have to see through it …"
"I know."
With how intelligent Qin Yin was, how could she not see through it? She bit her red lips and said softly, "I just want … just want to see him again, to see him and the family …"
Lin Muyu's heart ached. It was more than just heartache. Even he couldn't give Qin Yin all his love. Qin Jin's love for his daughter was unreservedly. It was a love that gave up on himself. There was probably no one else in the world who could love Qin Yin like that.
Swoosh!
The palaces and pavilions in front of them disappeared one by one. Instead, a spiritual aura soared in the air as if it had penetrated through the depths of hell to reach here. It was a familiar aura!
"Oh my god …"
Lin Muyu's body trembled. As a Martial God, he could naturally sense this aura. It was Qin Yin. That's right, it was Qin Jin. This aura originated from him! And it was not an illusion. It was the real Qin Jin's aura!
"What happened?" Lin Muyu looked left and right, puzzled. Could it be that Qin Jin hadn't been reincarnated all these years? He … his soul had always remained in the Ghost Domain?
However, this wisp of aura was extremely chaotic. It shuttled back and forth in the space, as if it wanted to condense but was unable to do so.
"Pa pa pa!"
A strand of Sacred Martial Power condensed in Lin Muyu's palm. He had decided to help Qin Jin condense his body.
Sacred Martial Power slowly seeped in, greatly strengthening Qin Jin's Soul Power. Soon, strands of long, white hair and a robe appeared in the air. Qin Jin was not wearing the royal robe that he had worn when he passed away. Instead, he was wearing an azure robe, which gave him the air of an immortal. He stood in the wind blankly, looking at everything around him, not knowing what to do.
"Imperial Father … Is that you?" Qin Yin's entire body was trembling, and even her voice was trembling.
Lin Muyu said, "It's him, it's Imperial Father, there's no need to suspect."
As he spoke, he strengthened his Sacred Martial Power again.
For a moment, Qin Jin sighed faintly, and slowly exhaled a mouthful of impure air. Then, he looked kindly at Qin Yin and Lin Muyu, and said in astonishment, "Xiao Yin … Yu? Is it the two of you? "
"It's me … It's me …"
Qin Yin rushed forward and hugged her father tightly. She cried, "Imperial Father, I can still see you again … I … I can still see you again …"
How could Qin Jin not feel sentimental? Tears streamed down his face as he said, "My Xiao Yin … My Xiao Yin … In this chaotic world, I've dreamed of you countless times. My Xiao Yin … Is this real? I … I felt a power calling out to me. I know that you're here. I've finally seen you … "
Qin Yin raised her head, and with tears in her eyes, she said, "Imperial Father, it's me, it's me …"
"Where … where am I?" Qin Jin asked.
Lin Muyu walked forward and knelt on one knee. She said, "The Ghost Domain's Nether Spring. The soul energy here is extremely vigorous, and it's precisely because of this that your soul was able to remain here for over a decade without dissipating. It's also because of Xiao Yin's sincere love that you were able to find this greedy world."
"So, I'm still dead …"
Qin Jin looked at Qin Yin, and couldn't help but smile. He said, "However, I'm already satisfied to be able to see Xiao Yin again. Xiao Yin, you and Yu have both grown up. Imperial Father has a whole new level of respect for you …"
Qin Yin smiled tearfully. "Imperial Father, it's been over a decade. How can Xiao Yin still not grow up? You … How did you survive all these years? "
Qin Jin gently stroked his daughter's long hair. He said, "I've always been in a deep sleep. Most of the time, I've been dreaming. You, Yu, and Ah Lei appeared countless times in my dreams … What happened after that?"
Qin Yin said, "Let Big Brother Yu tell you."
"Mm, Yu, go ahead." Qin Jin looked at Lin Muyu. His eyes were also filled with fatherly love, although not as much as Qin Yin's.
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "After Qin Yi murdered you, Imperial Father, he raised an army of five hundred thousand in Lingnan. He called it the Kingdom of Yihe and crossed the Qinling Mountains to attack Cangnan Province. Not long after, they surrounded Lanyan City. When Lanyan City fell, in order to protect Xiao Yin, Big Brother Qin Lei and Big Brother Chu Huaiyin died in battle. After that, Luolan went down the mountain and killed Great Deacon Lei Hong of the Divine Temple. The entire empire fell apart."
"How could this be … How could this be …"
Qin Jin blamed himself. "It's all my fault … It's all my fault for being too conceited. I thought I could control everything, but I didn't expect that I would still miscalculate Qin Yi. I didn't expect him to become like this, to become so vicious. Yu, what happened after that … What happened after that? "
"Well, it's a long story. To put it simply …" Lin Muyu thought for a moment and said, "After that, Tang Lan and Su Muyun sent troops to recover Lanyan City and put Xiao Yin on the throne. After that, the Demon Race appeared and conquered many territories. In short, we won in the end. The empire unified the Eastern and Western Continents. Xiao Yin became the true ruler of the world, and the empire's name was still the Great Qin."
"Oh, that's good … That's good …" Qin Jin was clearly a little emotional. Even his fists were clenched tightly. He said, "But now … Yu, why did you and Xiao Yin appear in a place where only the dead would come?"
Qin Yin couldn't help but laugh. "Imperial Father, Big Brother Yu and I are gods now …"
"Gods … Oh, no wonder you're so powerful. You're even more powerful than those Ghost Emperors in the lower purgatories …"
Qin Jin didn't really understand how powerful gods were, but he knew that they must be very powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to come and go as they pleased.
"Imperial Father, can Xiao Yin take you out of here?" Qin Yin asked.
"No need."
Qin Jin shook his head. "I belong here. I can't leave. You and Yu should go to where you belong."
"But …" Qin Yin bit her red lips. She was still unwilling to give up. She looked at Lin Muyu with pleading eyes.
Lin Muyu clenched her fists and said softly, "Xiao Yin really can't take Imperial Father out of here."
"Why? Big Brother Yu, you're the Martial God. What can't you do?" Qin Yin was unwilling to give up.
"Because this goes against the laws of the six realms …" Lin Muyu said gently. "You're the protector of the order of the six realms. You should know better than me that Imperial Father's soul has been in the Ghost Realm for too long. It's become extremely weak. If it weren't for my Holy Martial Power, Imperial Father wouldn't even be able to say a single word. If we forcefully take Imperial Father's soul and leave this place to seek a way to be reborn on the surface, then it's possible that Imperial Father's last bit of spiritual sense won't be able to withstand the impact and dissipate when we pass through the planes. If that happens … Imperial Father will be completely obliterated."
"Then … Then what should we do …" Qin Yin was flustered.
Lin Muyu thought for a moment and said, "As Righteous Gods, we still have to use our power when it's necessary. Let Imperial Father stay here first. There are others who can do what we can't do. I'll ask the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions to help rebuild Imperial Father's body in the Ghost Realm. We'll make him a true citizen of the Ghost Realm. Even if he's just a ghost servant, at least he'll be able to live in the Ghost Realm for a long time. This way, Xiao Yin, if you want to see Imperial Father, you can come to the Ghost Realm and you'll naturally be able to see him."
"Really?" Qin Yin widened her big bright eyes.
"Really? When have I ever lied to you? Let me tell you, the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions are very powerful. At least in the Ghost Realm, there's nothing they can't do! "
"Wow, that's great!" Qin Yin was wild with joy.
Seeing how happy Qin Yin was, Lin Muyu was naturally happy as well. She respectfully said to Qin Jin, "Imperial Father, your power is too weak. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Ghost Realm. Then we can only think of a way to keep you in the Ghost Realm. But you won't be bullied by anyone. Don't worry, Xiao Yin and I are very powerful. We're powerful enough to dominate the Six Realms!"
Qin Jin smiled faintly and said, "I believe you, Yu. It'll be fine. As long as I don't sink into a deep slumber, it'll be fine. Imperial Father doesn't have any other desires. I'm already satisfied to be able to see you and Xiao Yin again."
"Mn."
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Then please stay here, Imperial Father. Xiao Yin and I have to go to the lower planes to settle some matters. Then we'll come back to find Imperial Father."
"Alright."
Lin Muyu took Qin Yin's hand and left with her. Behind them, Qin Jin's body disappeared and he returned to his incorporeal soul state. At the same time, Lin Muyu sensed a wisp of divine sense probing this place. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions, is that you?"
A voice came from the void and said, "Aha, it's me. I pay my respects to Your Highness Martial God!"
"No need to be so polite."
Lin Muyu said, "You heard what I said to Imperial Father just now, right? Can you do it? "
"Yes, perhaps I can even make him a judge. Don't worry, Your Highness Martial God."
"Then don't stay idle. Come to the twelve worlds of the Nether Springs immediately and take Imperial Father's soul away to reconstruct his body."
"Ah? You want me to barge into that old brat Dong Lin's Nether Springs? This … Dong Lin has become much stronger recently. He's very arrogant. I don't want to get into trouble. "
"What are you afraid of? Xiao Yin and I will settle the score with him. You can just come to the Nether Springs to receive Imperial Father's soul."
"Yes, I understand!"
