The Scarlet Empress-Xue Ke!

"Gods do not concern themselves with the mortal realm. I will not be angered by Qian Daoliu's death, but as the High Priest of the Temple, Qian Daoliu is related to the Godhood Inheritance. I will take his remnant soul!"

A grand and melodious female voice resounded, and the next second, this illusory space suddenly shattered, and a holy golden phantom reappeared in the sky above the outskirts of Heaven Dou City.

Three pairs of golden wings, skin as white as jade, a beautiful and noble face, and golden feathers falling from the sky—this is truly a deity descending to earth!

First-Level God in the Divine Realm, the supreme god who governs the sun and the sky, the Angel God has descended!

"Your Majesty Angel God..."

Looking at the beautiful goddess who had dyed the sky gold, Zhou Chen spoke with a hint of respect.

Regardless of the circumstances, he is now facing a true deity, and the necessary respect must be shown.

Moreover, even after her descendant and priest Qian Daoliu was killed, the Angel God completely abided by the God Realm Rules, refrained from harming mortals, and even suppressed her hostility. This demonstrates just how virtuous and kind-hearted this Angel Goddess was.

Such deities deserve respect.

As expected, Zhou Chen's respectful greeting softened the Angel God's previously icy expression. She nodded slightly, and her vast and melodious voice rang out once more:

"Mortal, I abide by the divine rule that gods and mortals are distinct, and I will not harm you. However, this does not mean that other gods will follow this rule. I hope you will behave yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the God of Gods gave Zhou Chen a meaningful look, and then gently flapped the three pairs of golden wings on his back, sending Golden Light Pillar soaring into the sky!

The figure of the Angel God also followed the Golden Light Pillar and suddenly shot towards the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Along with her, Qian Daoliu's remnant soul also vanished.

"Call..."

The departure of the Angel God allowed Zhou Chen to breathe a sigh of relief, and the hand that had been tightly gripping the Xuanyuan Sword relaxed slightly.

Although this goddess is beautiful, gentle, and kind, the pressure in her presence is immense.

After all, the one before them was not some phantom of a deity, but the true embodiment of a deity!

First-Level God like the Angel God, the chief god of the Divine Realm, is an existence that mortals can never defeat!

With a sigh, setting aside this somewhat unrealistic question, Zhou Chen suddenly recalled the profound words left behind by the Angel God.

"The Divine Realm, the other deities?"

Shaking his head, Zhou Chen suddenly chuckled. Instead of thinking about those annoying problems, he might as well check on his harem. He wondered how Tian Meng, Xue Ke, and the others were doing.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen flicked his sleeve, transforming into a golden streak of light, and rode his sword towards Heaven Dou City...

At the same time.

The outskirts of Heaven Dou City.

Three figures stared blankly at the fading golden light in the sky, unable to calm down for Jiujiu.

This group of figures consisted of Qian Renxue, Snake Lance, and Porcupinefish Douluo, who had just evacuated from the palace.

At this moment, Qian Renxue had regained her original appearance. Her beautiful face was dazzling, and she even resembled the Angel Goddess who had just descended. Her slender and delicate body was made even more charming by the light yellow dress she was wearing.

"Young Master, who was that just now...?"

"I am nervous, "Snake Spear Douluo asked.

"It was the Angel God, my ancestor."

Qian Renxue puffed out her chest slightly, speaking with a hint of pride.

Upon hearing this, Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo exchanged a glance, both deeply shocked and filled with pride.

This land beneath their feet had not seen a true deity for tens of thousands of years.

Today, however, they witnessed firsthand the arrival of the Spirit Hall's symbol, the Angel God.

The two elders of the Spirit Hall, who had been somewhat disheartened by the failure of the palace coup, were now once again filled with high spirits and fervent enthusiasm.

With true deities backing them up, what is there to fear from the mere Purple Micro Palace?

Like a man injected with Blood One, the Snake Spear Douluo, his face flushed, blurted out an inappropriate question in a moment of impulsiveness:

"Young Master, where is the Grand Elder?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's face instantly darkened.

Although she didn't witness her grandfather Qian Daoliu's murder, Qian Renxue, as his closest relative, already had a bad feeling.

She couldn't wait to return to Spirit City, go to the Elder Hall, and see if her grandfather had gone back.

Taking a deep breath, Qian Renxue's expression returned to calm. She said in a deep voice, "Return to Spirit City, immediately."

"Young Master, aren't we going back to Heaven Dou City? His Angel God has descended; perhaps we still have a chance to turn the tide."

The Porcupinefish Douluo offered some advice from the side.

"A comeback?"

Qian Renxue laughed in anger at these words. Her ancestor had only descended for a short while before disappearing, while that kid was perfectly fine, without losing a single hair. What could he possibly do?

Besides, her own grandfather's fate was still unknown; how could she possibly have the mind to continue plotting a palace coup?

Qian Renxue glanced coldly at the Porcupinefish Douluo and said in an icy tone, "Return to Spirit City. This is my order. What, do you intend to disobey?"

"I wouldn't dare."

The Porcupinefish Douluo immediately lowered his head, cold sweat pouring down his face.

"Snort!"

With a cold snort, Qian Renxue's wings reappeared on her back, and with a gentle flap, she soared into the sky.

Seeing this, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo dared not say anything more, and with a stomp of the ground, they also shot away...

In July of the 1023rd year of the Heaven Dou Empire calendar, Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall, ambushed and killed the eldest Imperial Son, Xue Qinghe, at the royal hunting grounds. She then used a transformation technique to impersonate Xue Qinghe.

In November of the 1027th year of the Heaven Dou Empire calendar, Qian Renxue poisoned the Second Imperial Son Xue Luochuan.

In March of the 1029th year of the Heaven Dou Empire calendar, Qian Renxue poisoned the Third Imperial Son, Xue Haicang.

In the same month, Zhou Chen, the Palace Master of Purple Micro Palace, arrived in Heaven Dou City with Moon God Douluo Zhu Zhuqing, the Moon Goddess Douluo.

In the same year, Princess Xue Ke became engaged to Zhou Chen.

In September of the 1033rd year of the Heaven Dou Empire's calendar, Qian Renxue plotted a palace coup, assassinating Xue Ye and massacring the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Prince Xue Xing and other royal family members perished one after another.

On the same day, Princess Xue Ke, only sixteen years old, discovered the conspiracy and led her guards to attack Swan Palace. Unable to conquer it, she then led 300,000 City Garrison to launch a fierce attack on the palace. They did not retreat an inch before the battle flags. Corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers. The Spirit Hall lost more than 5,000 Soul Masters, and Grand Elder Qian Daoliu was killed by the Palace Master of Purple Micro Palace Zhou Chen outside Heaven Dou City.

Three days later, Princess Xue Ke ascended the throne as the only direct descendant of the empire and was crowned, and her fiancé Zhou Chen was appointed as the Nation Protecting Prince.

On the same day, Your Majesty the Queen Xue Ke issued an order to the entire empire to purge Qian Renxue's supporters and officially declared war on the Spirit Hall, ordering armies from all over the country to attack the Spirit Hall Branch.

This purge wiped out Qian Renxue's forces, which she had cultivated over many years, killing more than 17,000 people. Hundreds of the Spirit Hall's branch halls were breached, resulting in the loss of nearly 10,000 Soul Masters.

Because Xue Ke's methods were too bloody and ruthless, they were described in later historical records as:

Scarlet Empress!
