Angel God Seeds of Opposing Attributes from the Same Source
Thinking of Tang San's inheritance, and comparing it to how she and her descendants had safeguarded the continent from Evil Spirit Master chaos for ten thousand years, only to be forgotten and despised by the people, Qian Hanyu could not help feeling indignant.
People did not feel grateful to Angels, just as they did not thank Luo Ji, but Qian Hanyu did not regret her choice. After all, as the founder of a Divine Core, she had taken it upon herself to protect all living beings. How could she so easily betray her own path?
Qian Hanyu pulled herself from her tangled thoughts and said, "You're saying that after your rebirth, you also brought an Angel God Seed with you. Can you let me see it?"
"Yes, Divine Ancestor. Please take a look." Qian Renxue took out the Divine Seed and handed it to Qian Hanyu.
Qian Hanyu accepted the Divine Seed and sensed the aura it emitted, one that opposed her own. Despite their opposing auras, it shared the same origin as her Angel God Seed. Just as Qian Renxue had said, it was an Alternate Self from a different time and space.
If Qian Renxue's previous words had still left room for fabrication, and Qian Hanyu had not fully trusted her, then the instant she saw the Divine Seed, Qian Hanyu completely believed her. A trace of coldness flashed through her eyes.
Because of the unforeseen variable known as the Eternal God, the Divine Realm's situation was completely different from the previous life Qian Renxue had described. Before becoming a god, the Sea God had been set up by the Eternal God. He could originally have become a First-level God, but instead fell to the rank of Second-level God. After Becoming a God, his extremely wretched reputation had isolated him from the other gods, and he was constantly subjected to the Eternal God's schemes. Naturally, he had no energy left to plot against her. In a sense, the Eternal God had indirectly saved her life.
Compared to the Sea God, she, the Angel God, was living quite comfortably in this time and space. The Divine Realm was currently divided between the Eternal God and the Five God Kings. Some gods had sided with the Five God Kings, others with the Eternal God King, while still others had not made their position clear. As a Main God at the peak of her rank, she had more room to choose than the Sea God. Before the situation became clear, she had chosen not to easily take sides or place her bets on either faction. Because of her neutral stance and her strength as a Main God, both sides had tried to win her over.
Qian Hanyu had not clearly sided with either faction despite their attempts to recruit her. However, now that she knew what had happened to her and her descendants in another time and space, she already had an answer to this choice.
"Now that you know the future, Xue'er, what are you planning to do next?" Qian Hanyu asked.
"Divine Ancestor, I hope to travel to Douluo Continent through your Realm Passage," Qian Renxue said. "I want to defeat the successors of the Sea God and Shura God, and collect a debt."
Qian Hanyu nodded. "Very well. I will notify the Offering Guardian of my Inheritance Ground—your grandfather—to receive you."
"Thank you, Divine Ancestor."
Holding the Divine Seed, Qian Hanyu gave her successor, Qian Renxue, a deep look. "This is an Angel God Seed, but you cannot become the Angel God through it alone. Either refine this Divine Seed, then defeat me and take my place, or accept my inheritance." She paused before continuing, "However, this Divine Seed possesses attributes opposite to mine, and that gives us an entirely new possibility."
"An entirely new possibility?" Qian Renxue asked.
Qian Hanyu tossed the Divine Seed back to Qian Renxue and explained, "If all you had brought was an Angel God Seed with sacred attributes, it would be meaningless. To become the Angel God, you could only choose one of the two. But with a Divine Seed of opposing attributes, you can first refine the attributes within it, then inherit my Divine Throne and fuse the two Divine Seeds of the same origin into one. I do not know what level the resulting Angel God Seed will ultimately reach. Perhaps it may have a chance to break through the rank of Main God and become a God King."
"Then, Divine Ancestor, why don't you try it?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Xue'er, your experiences are different from mine. You are both sacred and fallen, both light and darkness. You are compatible with both Divine Seeds. You are more suited than I am to take that step. I imagine that is also why the Eternal God King asked you to give this Divine Seed to me." Qian Hanyu thought for a moment before speaking.
"By the way, Divine Ancestor, if I inherit the Divine Throne, will Grandpa still have to sacrifice himself?" Qian Renxue asked.
Qian Hanyu said, "That is the duty of the Divine Trial's Offering Guardian. You need not worry too much. After the sacrifice, his divine soul will remain. Once you possess sufficient divine power, you can revive him."
"But why did Grandpa..." Qian Renxue recalled how her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had completely vanished after she became a god.
Very quickly, both she and Qian Hanyu realized what had happened.
When she had become a god in her previous life, the one presiding over the Divine Trial had been that old bastard, the Sea God. After Qian Daoliu sacrificed himself, his soul had fallen into the Sea God's hands. Naturally, nothing good could have come of it.
Fine, Sea God. It was you again.
Qian Hanyu clenched her fists. She said to Qian Renxue, "Xue'er, go to the Lower Realm without worry, and accept my Divine Trial without concern. With me in the Divine Realm, I will not allow that despicable Sea God and Shura God to scheme against you."
"Thank you, Divine Ancestor," Qian Renxue said.
With that, Qian Hanyu opened the Realm Passage of the Angel God Palace and allowed Qian Renxue to enter.
Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall
Pope Qian Xunji held a sheet of paper containing someone's information. Qian Daoliu stood behind him, examining it alongside Qian Xunji.
On the sheet was a portrait of a six-year-old girl with wine-red hair, along with her information. She was an unprecedented genius born during this year's Spirit Hall martial soul awakenings—Bibi Dong.
Qian Daoliu studied the sheet solemnly. "Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. These are two of the most evil martial souls, yet they have appeared together in one person."
"Twin Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power. This is a precious disciple Heaven has bestowed upon me, Qian Xunji." Qian Xunji's eyes were filled with fervor.
Qian Daoliu glanced at Qian Xunji and said, "Her martial souls are completely incompatible with our Six-winged Angel. A martial soul affects its wielder. The Soul Devouring Spider Emperor cultivates by devouring souls, while the Death Spider Emperor can accelerate cultivation by continually creating slaughter and death. Once a spirit master who awakens such martial souls strays down the wrong path, if they grow powerful, they will inevitably become a great disaster. But an evil martial soul does not mean an Evil Spirit Master. So long as she is properly taught and restrained from abusing the talents of her martial souls, she may become a pillar of Spirit Hall in the future."
"There is no need for Father to trouble himself over that. I have my own methods of teaching her," Qian Xunji said carelessly.
Qian Daoliu had just been about to say more when the Divine Ancestor issued a Divine Decree. He had no choice but to leave for the Angel God Palace.
Qian Xunji watched his father's retreating figure and gave a soft laugh. Restrain his future fine disciple? No, he had a bold plan.
