Luo Tiance looked at his sleeping grandson with heartache, tears streaming down his face.
While he felt relieved and proud, he also felt so much pain.
It was only after seeing the projection that he realized the extent of the crisis his grandson had faced, how much danger he had encountered, and how much he had sacrificed to protect others.
More than the pride swelling in his heart, Luo Tiance was overcome by fear, afraid that he might carelessly lose this precious grandson.
This was something he absolutely could not accept.
Even though his grandson had clearly become a strong warrior capable of standing on his own, he obviously couldn't shift his mind-set that quickly; in his eyes, his grandson was still a child.
Yet he had shed so much blood, given so much.
Luo Tiance looked down. Luo Yu's body had numerous wounds that had already healed thanks to his strong regenerative abilities, but even though the wounds had disappeared, the blood-stained clothes remained.
Touching the dry and stiff blood-stained clothes with his hand, Luo Tiance felt a wave of heartache and reluctance. If he had been a little stronger, would his grandson have not needed to face these dangers?
"Shoo, shoo, shoo!"
Streaks of light flew towards them from afar with incredible speed, like lightning.
However, as they got closer to Luo Tiance's location, they seemed to realize something and immediately slowed down, trying not to make a sound.
They did not wish to disturb the sleeping Luo Yu.
Shi Kai, the silver-haired elder, and a group of veteran powerhouses above First Grade arrived in turn, all gathering around Luo Yu to stand guard, saluting with their eyes.
Their gazes revealed undisguised admiration, affection, respect, and veneration; every kind of respectful expression was present.
What excited these old men the most was that Huaxia now had hope.
The silver-haired elder conveyed to Luo Tiance:
"Elder Luo, you really have a good grandson. With your grandson to guard Huaxia in the future, even if we die in battle beyond our borders, we can rest in peace with no regrets."
Luo Tiance glared, replying through telepathy, "Stop farting, I'm alive and well. The Power of Heaven and Earth has already loosened; I'll break through soon. My grandson still needs my protection."
"Your protection?" The other party's telepathy didn't block others out, allowing Shi Kai to hear it too. He immediately said, "Considering the pace of Luo brother's breakthroughs, with no predecessors and no one to come after, able to shatter a near-First Grade with his fist at eighteen, he'll surpass you in no more than three to five years, I guess."
"Three to five years? Shi Kai, you seem to look down on people. I feel that Luoshenzi will be able to blast Elder Luo away in less than a year and a half." Another First Rank Summit laughed.
Luo Tiance's face changed.
He didn't know what to say to that.
He suspected these scoundrels were deliberately using his grandson to mock him, and he had evidence.
"No matter how many years it takes for him to surpass me, that's my grandson; it has nothing to do with you bunch of old guys, hmph!" Luo Tiance sneered.
"You fart! What 'your grandson'? He's my brother, he's the Da Xia Godson." Shi Kai, who was usually not competitive, was now unleashing his full firepower.
"Shi Kai, don't forget it was me who persuaded my grandson to go to your Chuan Province Martial University. Don't be ungrateful." Luo Tiance glared.
"No, no, nothing like that." Shi Kai smiled apologetically.
The silver-haired elder seemed to be in a good mood as he said, "Shi Kai, since you're sworn brothers with the Divine Child, doesn't that mean you should be calling us 'Uncle'?"
"Hello, Uncle."
Shi Kai replied directly through telepathy, calling each one 'Uncle,' an act that left everyone stunned. What kind of shamelessness was this?
Shi Kai chuckled internally, thinking these old guys would be jealous of him soon enough; they were on a collision course.
"Elder Luo, your grandson, no, the Divine Child, is he all right?" the silver-haired elder asked cautiously. Although he already sensed a strong and steady heartbeat, he was still somewhat worried. In the hearts of these patriotic seniors, Luo Yu had become a national treasure.
In fact, when they heard that there was danger in Sichuan Province, all the powerhouses who came to help at the risk of their own lives placed the nation's matters first, akin to embodiments of virtue.
Luo Tiance glanced at him, "Old man, weren't you always disagreeing with my grandson being designated the Divine Child from birth? Why now such a warm address?"
The elder's face turned red with indignation, but he proudly said, "The decision back then was too hasty. The Da Xia Godson is not just about strength or talent.
But this time, the Divine Child has truly moved me with his character and charm."
Seeing this scene, Luo Tiance couldn't help but sigh.
This old man was at the First Rank Summit, but his stubborn temperament was even more unyielding than that. He had been prejudiced against his grandson's immediate consecration as God's Child.
To think this stubbornness of eighteen years had softened so quickly today.
He couldn't help but laugh to himself.
My grandson hasn't even exerted his strength yet?
And you old man already kneel? Hahaha.
The group of veteran strongmen showed no intention of leaving, just standing guard here, tacitly waiting for Luo Yu to wake up.
This level of prestige was something that the young people of Great Xia had never seen before, and something that only Luo Yu could enjoy.
"Shoo, shoo, shoo!"
Figures like Cao Ritian and others flew in from afar.
"We are here too!" Their excited voices rang out.
The silver-haired elder showed what a temper was, setting up a sound barrier nearby, then shouting at those in the distance:
"You're here for what!"
He pressed down with his palm and a giant palm that shaded the sky for hundreds of feet appeared, suppressing everything below.
"Great Prison Subduing Heaven Palm."
"Boom!"
Cao Ritian and the following Martial University crew were all jolted towards the ground.
The old silver-haired man's move was exquisitely executed, causing a hundred people to eat dust without actually injuring a single one.
It was a display of miraculous skill.
Zhu Qing and the others emerged from the ruins on the ground, looking up at Luo Yu, who was cradled in the sky like a cherished group mascot, and sighed heavily.
"I have a feeling that with this guy's personal charm, we may soon fall out of favor with our own elders at the Martial University."
