At that moment, that scene, that image.
It was deeply etched into Qian Renxue's mind as well. Perhaps she would never forget this moment for the rest of her life.
And at that very moment, Lin Yu became one of the most important men in Qian Renxue's heart!
Bibi Dong was furious. Pointing at Lin Yu's nose, her rage soared to the heavens. "Insolence! What did you say?!"
Completely unafraid of Bibi Dong's anger, Lin Yu forcefully repeated, "I said! You! Are the ungrateful wretch!"
"Courting death!!"
Killing intent erupted from Bibi Dong. With a swing of the scepter in her hand, she charged at Lin Yu in an instant.
"Bibi Dong! How dare you!!"
The Seven Great Worships erupted with their auras at the same time, stepping in front of Lin Yu as Bibi Dong attacked.
"Get lost!"
Qian Daoliu struck Bibi Dong with his palm, forcing her back.
Bang!
"Urgh!"
Bibi Dong was sent staggering back by the palm strike and nearly fell to the ground, leaving her utterly humiliated. "Qian Daoliu, you!"
Qian Daoliu said with imposing authority, "Bibi Dong, if you dare harm even a single hair on Xiao Yu's head, I will never forgive you!"
Looking at the Seven Great Worships before her, their auras surging, Bibi Dong knew she could do nothing to Lin Yu right now. No matter how aggrieved and enraged she was, she could only grit her teeth and endure it. "Fine, fine, fine! Qian Daoliu, with all of you protecting this boy, I indeed dare not touch him!"
"But this is a high-level meeting of Spirit Hall. What qualifications does this brat, still wet behind the ears, have to act so presumptuously here!"
"Is this a place he should even be? What right does he have to stand here and speak? Make him get out!!"
"Because I am an Inheritor of God, and because in the future, I can make immense contributions to helping Spirit Hall unify the Douluo Continent!!"
Lin Yu's voice echoed through the grand hall once more, reaching everyone's ears.
Almost everyone in the hall stood up at once!
They were utterly stunned. "W-What?! An Inheritor of God?!"
"Is that true, Grand Worship?"
"Lin Yu... Lin Yu is an Inheritor of God!?"
That child, Xiao Yu, actually exposed this secret just to help Xiao Xue. Qian Daoliu frowned deeply, yet he was also quite gratified.
Not many people knew about this matter at present. Now that Lin Yu had revealed it, it could no longer be concealed. Qian Daoliu answered truthfully, "That is correct. Xiao Yu is an Inheritor of God!"
"It's actually true!!"
"Heavens! No wonder the Grand Worship took Lin Yu as his disciple. So this child is an Inheritor of God!"
"Wonderful! If Lin Yu can become a powerful god in the future, then under the guidance of a god, Spirit Hall will surely unify the Douluo Continent!"
In an instant, the entire hall erupted in excitement and delight.
Lin Yu knew that revealing this news would not benefit his future growth. It might even bring him countless dangers and assassination attempts.
But if he did not say it, he truly lacked the standing and qualifications to speak up for Qian Renxue here.
He slowly walked over to Qian Renxue, took out the handkerchief he had prepared long ago, and gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. Warmly, he said, "Sister Xue'er, I'm sorry. I came too late."
"If you truly cannot say those words, then I'll say them for you."
"Thank you, Lin Yu." Qian Renxue was deeply moved. She leaned forward, and her soft pink lips pressed against Lin Yu's cheek right there in public.
"Uh..." Lin Yu froze in place, clearly feeling the softness of Qian Renxue's lips and their warmth.
She kissed him for a full three seconds before finally pulling away.
"But there's no need. I can do it."
By the time Lin Yu came back to his senses, Qian Renxue had already unleashed her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Her resolute, confident voice resounded throughout the grand hall. "The reason I, Qian Renxue, chose to return is because I can become the next Angel God!!!"
"With the power of a god, I can lead Spirit Hall to unify the continent in the future!"
"What!"
The Seven Great Worships widened their eyes.
The entire hall cried out in shock once again.
Lin Yu spoke up again in support. "That's right! Rather than having Sister Xue'er infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to seize imperial power, it would be better for her to return early, cultivate diligently, and inherit the Angel God's divine position."
"When Sister Xue'er and I both become gods, the two of us can easily crush the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires together. With the power of gods, we can sweep across the Douluo Continent. Why would we need to infiltrate anyone? Why would we need to seize any power!"
"Two gods joining forces? Heh heh, hahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong burst into mocking laughter. "The Six-Winged Angel Clan has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Has there ever been even one person who inherited the Angel God's divine position!?"
"Qian Renxue can become the next Angel God? Ridiculous! Who gave you such confidence!"
"Everyone! Do you believe it?"
Bibi Dong questioned the entire hall.
"This..."
Indeed, the higher-ups present did not truly believe that Qian Renxue could become the Angel God. After all, no one had achieved it in tens of thousands of years.
"Even if all of you are Inheritors of God, do you think becoming gods is that easy? You could just as easily fail the gods' trials!"
"Even if you all eventually become gods, how long would that take? Thirty years? Forty? Fifty? If we spend that much time fighting for power, Spirit Hall would have long since unified the Douluo Continent!"
Before Bibi Dong killed Qian Xunji back then, she had already received the Rakshasa God's inheritance. Yet after all these years, she still had not become a god.
Even with another ten years, she was not absolutely confident that she could inherit the Rakshasa God Position. That was why she understood that becoming a god was not so simple.
"Twenty years. Within twenty years, Sister Xue'er and I will both break through and become gods!" Lin Yu declared loudly.
"Ridiculous! Lin Yu, where does your confidence come from? If you fail, can you bear the responsibility?!" Bibi Dong snapped angrily.
Qian Daoliu stepped forward. "I believe in them!"
The Six Great Enshrined Elders also stepped forward. "We believe in them too!"
"I believe in them too!"
"I believe in them too!"
"I believe in them too!"
Watching more and more higher-ups take Lin Yu and Qian Renxue's side, Bibi Dong's expression turned incomparably grim. She knew she was rapidly losing control of the situation.
Although many higher-ups still doubted them and did not believe them, if this continued, the scales would inevitably gradually tip toward Lin Yu's side.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong immediately came up with a plan and said coldly, "Hmph! Fine, fine, fine! Since you are all so confident, then at the very least, you need to show some real strength to prove yourselves, right?"
"Are we all supposed to acknowledge you just based on empty words?"
"That's right! His Holiness the Pope is right!"
"If you can fulfill these two conditions of mine and prove yourselves, then Qian Renxue abandoning the infiltration plan will be let go!"
"If you cannot do it, Qian Renxue will return. Heaven Dou still has its Fourth Prince, Xue Beng. Kill him and continue disguising yourselves as Xue Beng, and we will still have a chance to seize Heaven Dou's imperial power!"
"What conditions? Hurry up and spit them out," Lin Yu said, looking at Bibi Dong with indifference.
Lin Yu's attitude made Bibi Dong grind her teeth in fury. She forcibly suppressed her anger and prepared to state her conditions.
