Qian Renxue: If Only I Could Go Back Nineteen Years! Sky Screen: Your Wish Is Granted!
"Xiao Xue, it doesn't matter that the infiltration plan failed.
"Now you can focus on cultivation and begin the God's Trial.
"As long as you inherit the divine position of the God of Angels, even if the two empires join forces to besiege Spirit Hall, we'll have nothing to fear!"
Beneath the Angel God Statue, Qian Daoliu patted the despondent Qian Renxue on the shoulder and comforted her.
"But Grandpa, I spent nineteen whole years undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire!
"Nineteen years! I delayed my cultivation for it, and for nineteen years I couldn't be at your side and fulfill my filial duty!
"Xue Ye was about to die from poison, and I would have inherited the throne of the Heaven Dou Emperor and completed my infiltration mission without a hitch.
"But then Tang San just had to pop up out of nowhere!
"That Tang San disappeared for five years after the Elite Tournament ended, and no one knew where he'd gone.
"But five years later, he suddenly showed up again and joined forces with Xue Xing and Xue Beng to expose my plan!"
Qian Renxue raised her head, growing increasingly agitated as she spoke, seething with resentment.
"If it weren't for him, I could have returned to Spirit City after completing my mission and focused on cultivation to prepare for the God's Trial.
"It's all because of him!"
"Alas!"
Qian Daoliu suddenly sighed and looked up in the direction of the Clear Sky Sect, a complicated expression on his face.
"Decades ago, Tang San's great-grandfather Tang Chen and I were bitter enemies.
"But that upheaval over a decade ago cost me my son, and it cost you your father, Xiao Xue.
"Tang Chen's son died because of it too.
"The Clear Sky Sect has remained in seclusion for over a decade because of that. I don't know what changes have taken place within the sect since."
"Grandpa, do you know where Tang Chen is now?" Qian Renxue asked.
"He disappeared decades ago in pursuit of a divine position. I don't know where he went or whether he succeeded."
Qian Daoliu shook his head.
"It was precisely because there was no news of him that I would have wiped out the Clear Sky Sect then and there during that upheaval!"
"Xiao Xue... the real culprit who killed your father wasn't Tang Hao!"
Qian Renxue froze, her pupils slowly widening. Somewhat confused, she asked,
"Grandpa, what do you mean?"
"Didn't my father die because Tang Hao gravely injured him and his wounds couldn't be treated?"
"Was there some other reason?"
Qian Daoliu couldn't help glancing toward the Pope's Hall, uncertain whether he should tell Qian Renxue the truth.
"Grandpa, please tell me!"
Qian Renxue's eyes gradually filled with tears, and she couldn't help speaking up.
"Wasn't the real cause of my father's death the grave injuries Tang Hao inflicted on him?"
"Alas!"
Qian Daoliu sighed yet again. How could that be possible?
No matter how strong Tang Hao was, he had only just broken through to Titled Douluo.
Even though he had gravely injured Qian Xunji, Spirit Hall had countless healing-type Soul Masters and heavenly treasures.
Healing Qian Xunji's injuries wouldn't have been a problem.
If not for Bibi Dong, how could Qian Xunji have died?
If his Ji'er hadn't died, after nineteen years, he should have reached at least level 96 or 97 in his cultivation, shouldn't he?
Just thinking about it made Qian Daoliu's heart ache.
But Qian Daoliu also knew what kind of person Qian Renxue was.
If she really learned that her own mother, Bibi Dong, was the culprit who had murdered Qian Xunji,
Qian Daoliu didn't even dare imagine how she would react.
"If-"
"Xiao Xue, never mind."
"When you become a god, I naturally will..."
Qian Daoliu looked up as he spoke, his face full of apology.
"I understand, Grandpa..."
Qian Renxue's expression dimmed, and her clenched hands slowly relaxed.
"If... if I could go back nineteen years, if I could go back to before I went undercover, I could change all of this!"
Qian Renxue murmured, "As long as I don't let Tang San be born, none of this will ever happen!"
No sooner had Qian Renxue finished speaking than a transparent pop-up suddenly appeared before her eyes.
[I heard your heart's desire. Your wish is granted!]
Qian Renxue's pupils widened slightly. She was just about to say something when everything went black.
The last words she heard were Qian Daoliu's startled cry: "Xiao Xue..."
All Qian Daoliu saw was Qian Renxue suddenly enveloped in golden light. The next moment, she vanished.
He didn't have time to react at all!
Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, possess me!
Golden light instantly flooded the entire Worship Hall. In a towering rage, Qian Daoliu unleashed all his spiritual power, covering the whole of Spirit City.
Yet he still couldn't detect the slightest trace of Xiao Xue.
Who was it?
"Could it be the divine ancestor?"
Qian Daoliu looked suspiciously at the Angel God Statue and tried to communicate with the Angel God, but received no response.
The sudden commotion Qian Daoliu had caused also alarmed every high-level Soul Master in the city.
"What madness has gotten into Qian Daoliu?"
Bibi Dong had been cultivating when she suddenly sensed Qian Daoliu's spiritual power covering the entire city. Feeling as though she was being spied on, she was immediately displeased.
Whoosh, whoosh-
Several streaks of light suddenly rose from various parts of the city and shot toward the Worship Hall.
"It's those old fellows, Golden Crocodile and the others. What on earth happened to make Qian Daoliu so angry?"
Bibi Dong appeared outside the Pope's Hall and looked up at the sky, unable to keep from frowning.
"Your Holiness, may I ask what happened? Why did the Great Enshrined suddenly..."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei also hurried over. Looking at Bibi Dong, they couldn't help asking.
"There probably isn't any major problem. At least, apart from Qian Daoliu, I haven't sensed the presence of any unfamiliar Titled Douluo."
Bibi Dong held her scepter and looked at the two of them.
"You two should know many secrets from decades ago.
"Do you know of anything involving Qian Daoliu from back then?"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance. Yue Guan curled his fingers in a delicate gesture and thought for a moment, and he did indeed think of someone.
"Your Holiness, do you know the Clear Sky Sect's sect master from two generations ago?"
"The Clear Sky Sect's sect master from two generations ago? You mean Tang Chen?"
Bibi Dong thought for a moment, then realization dawned on her.
"But isn't he already dead?"
"Ahem, Your Holiness, Tang Chen disappeared decades ago. No one knows where he went or whether he's dead."
Gui Mei spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and several other enshrined arrived at the summit of Worship Mountain. Seeing Qian Daoliu's furious expression, they were all puzzled. What had happened?
"Xiao Xue... is gone!"
Qian Daoliu closed his eyes, concealing the panic in his heart.
"What?!"
Golden Crocodile was so shocked that he couldn't help taking a step back.
"Big brother, didn't Xiao Xue just get back? How could she..."
The brothers Qian Jun and Jiang Mo exchanged a glance and stepped forward together.
"Big brother, did someone break into Spirit City and abduct Xiao Xue?"
"No. A golden light suddenly flashed, and Xiao Xue disappeared."
Qian Daoliu shook his head, looking remorseful.
"I failed to look after Xiao Xue, and so..."
Before he could finish, a thunderous rumble suddenly came from the sky!
An enormous screen of light appeared out of thin air, covering the sky above the entire Douluo Continent.
[At Qian Renxue's request, she has been sent to the Douluo Continent nineteen years in the past. Qian Renxue has now arrived in a parallel spacetime. The timeline of that world's Douluo Continent is nineteen years in the past!]
