As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Spring Rain drizzled, the river surface was smooth, without a ripple.

The two were stunned, "No waves?"

Shangguan Qinghong also popped out a head, "That shouldn't be..."

Suddenly.

Shangguan Qinghong's eyes hardened as she looked towards the end of the Nine Dragons River, there...

A white snake rolled across the river surface, separating heaven and earth with a single tidal line!

"Here it comes..." Gong Yunli took a deep breath, his body couldn't help but shake, faintly feeling awe-struck.

This momentum...

Was this a tide that a Tenth Capital Level Wood Carver could incite?!

The tidal wave rolled from the end of the river, the waters undulated, suddenly collapsing several meters down.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Accompanied by a sound of fury, as if thousands of horses were thundering forward!

The spring rain between heaven and earth suddenly grew violent, huge droplets merged with the river's aura, crashing into the human world, striking the earth.

Even, faintly hearing under the tidal roar, cries of rage, sobs, and sorrow.

It was as if a divinity was awakening, standing upon the vast, boundless sea, looking around in confusion, lifting its head to the skies and weeping!

Whose divine tears, transformed into millennia of furious waves!

Bang—!

The waves fiercely slammed upon the cliffs below the Qintian Observatory Treasure Building at the Nine Dragons River Bank.

Boom, boom, boom!

The three standing before the carved wooden window saw the white waves soaring high, even leaping over the height of the window, pouring down in front of them like a curtain of waterfall!

Quiet, silent.

There was, too, a measure of shock!

An intense divinity, along with the overflowing tidal waves, spread throughout heaven and earth, its concentration nearly forty to fifty percent higher than usual!

Gongyang Liancheng was the first to react, his expression slightly changed, Divine Sense fluctuated, and behind him emerged a Divine Foundation, the light flowing, vaguely reflecting a blurred Divine Minister wanting to manifest from the Divine Foundation!

With a fierce wave of his hand, the rich divinity engulfing the entire building was pushed aside, yet the divinity in the tidal wave continued relentlessly, as if evaporated by scorching heat.

Gong Yunli also joined in the suppression.

The two Minor Supervisors from the Qintian Observatory worked together, barely suppressing this boiling divinity.

It was mainly because the Temple God's Divine Hierarchy was too high...

Shangguan Qinghong's fair and lovely face was flushed.

Li Che gasped for breath, his face slightly pale, looking excessively strained, he stepped back twice.

He took a long breath out.

Was that... the Temple God Divinity merged into the river water?

That Temple God Divinity of the "Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Furious Third Crown Prince"?

The tug of war continued briefly, the tidal wave calmed, and the divinity also re-merged into the river waves, everything returning to peace.

Gong Yunli and Gongyang Liancheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

It was almost... an examination accident.

The two returned to the wood carving, revealing an intrigued look in their eyes.

"How much?"

"Seventy percent? Definitely more... ninety percent? To incite such a huge wave and rile up the Temple God Divinity in the river to such tumult... even if the examiner himself did the carving, it might not be possible?"

Gong Yunli couldn't help but speak.

Their gaze fell on the wood carving sculpted by Li Che, but they saw nothing special about it.

Yet why could it incite such a tide?

A Tenth Cities Level Divine Wood Carving, how could there be such a divine resonance?

The two fell into deep thought, but soon they stopped pondering further.

"Master Li, congratulations, you have passed the Third-Class Guest Official examination," Gong Yunli said, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, her eyes somewhat eager.

"Give me your identity token, and I'll activate the divinity within it, then you can infuse your own divinity or vital essence, and it will serve as your credential of a Third-Class Guest Official."

Li Che took out the token and handed it to Gong Yunli.

Gong Yunli took it, a thread of divinity flickered in her palm before dissipating, then she returned it to Li Che.

Li Che felt that the small temple pattern on the token had become more lifelike.

"All right, Guest Official Li, starting today, you are a member of our Heavenly Oversight Guest Officials, entitled to service benefits, and with this guest official token, you can buy resources inside the Qintian Observatory with a 20% discount," Gong Yunli gently smiled.

"Furthermore, as a Third-Class Divine Carver, you may receive a copy of the 'Great Scenic Heavenly Seven Elements Thousand Hand Divine Carving Technique (Upper Volume),' which must not be disclosed or transmitted.

Additionally, you can also accept divine wood carving tasks from the Qintian Observatory, with rewards from the task, the Qintian Observatory only takes a twenty percent share," Gong Yunli continued.

"As for other benefits and treatments, let Shangguan Heavenly Censor tell you in detail later."

Upon hearing these words, Li Che nodded.

"We will take this wood carving... Guest Official Li, looking forward to the day you become a Second-Class Guest Official," Gong Yunli smiled gently at Li Che.

Then she and Gongyang Liancheng left with the wood carving sculpted by Li Che.

...

...

Shangguan Qinghong's face remained red and flushed, the blush on her tender skin lingering for a long while.

Li Che glanced at her oddly, red-faced from watching the waves...

Miss Shangguan, you are remarkable.

It's as if you have an allergy to divinity.

"Congratulations, Guest Official Li, from now on, you and I are colleagues," Shangguan Qinghong said with a grin, her face as red as Guan Gong.

Shangguan Qinghong accompanied Li Che out of the second-floor examination room.

Along the way, she informed Li Che about the benefits and advantages of becoming a Third-Class Guest Official.

The two returned to the first floor, where Liu He and Hai Chuanying were already waiting, evidently aware of Li Che's examination today and awaiting the results.

When they saw the token tied around Li Che's waist, both couldn't help but smile.

"Congratulations, Li, on becoming a Qintian Observatory Guest Official, please look after us from now on," the two greeted with a bow, and Li Che returned the greeting.

"Hahaha! With a recommendation from Elder Qingshan, how could you possibly fail to become a guest official, Li? Tonight, let's head to Yunfang Boat to celebrate for you!"
