Lilly looked at Blake expectantly.
His words got stuck in his throat, unable to come out. How could he tell his precious daughter that he couldn't fulfill her wish at the moment?
"Lilly...wait a minute, Daddy is going to get something."
With a pure and bright smile, Lilly nodded. "Okay!"
Blake hurriedly left and made his way to the ice pond.
Lilly also followed, sitting on a smooth stone at the entrance of the cave, resting her chin on her hand, and watching her father from a distance.
The cowardly ghost asked hesitantly, "Lilly... your father…"
Lilly nodded. "Yeah."
Shocked expressions appeared in the eyes of the cowardly ghost and the harem spirit, though they still could not fully believe it.
The unlucky ghost watched from afar and muttered to himself, "Huh? What's going on? Didn't Mr. Blake just go swimming in the ice pond? Why are you all so shocked..."
He could not understand why a mortal like Mr. Blake could descend to the underworld and go to the ice pond. It was certainly extraordinary, but there was no need to be so surprised.
Lilly did not say anything, but muttered, "Do your best. Daddy..."
The cowardly ghost looked at Lilly and could shake off the feeling that she intentionally asked Blake to dive into the ice pond...
Meanwhile, Blake reached the bottom of the ice pond.
In his mind, he could still see the expectant look in Lilly's eyes, and he clenched his teeth, determined to do something.
To be honest, even though his memories had returned and he now knew about cultivation and The Order, he had severed his connection with Emperor Prosper. Now, he had to break through once again with the body of a mortal.
Upon reaching that position, he found himself incapable of advancing any further; his only option was to break through and rise.
Above Emperor Prosper lie three paths and nine heavens. Although he reigned supreme within the three paths, he was insignificant beyond them.
The once mighty physique has now become a hindrance, preventing him from ascending.
He must become mortal again, taking his beloved daughter with him, and break free from the restraints of the three paths and six heavens...
Despite being Emperor Prosper, he was powerless.
His strength has yet to return, and defeating the King of Cities was far from achievable; in fact, he might be beaten to death just by seeing him.
Thus, he must venture to the depths of the ice pond to retrieve something—
Reclaim the pressure he left behind in his previous life!
The spirit energy and pills Blake consumed were not in vain. As he dived once more, he effortlessly surpassed the human limit.
He felt no pressure and did not suffocate despite holding his breath for so long.
Once again, he touched the word, "Emperor.".
