Sea God and Shura God Intervene in the Human Realm

Lin Yu's Soul Power fell back to Level 16 once more.

But he looked relieved.

Snow Empress's puzzled voice came from his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness. "Lin Yu, why did you shatter the contract we signed?"

They had finally managed to sign a contract with this hundred-level Angel God, yet he had given it up again in an instant, leaving Snow Empress completely baffled.

They had to know that only half a day remained, and their situation was already extremely tense.

Lin Yu said, "Snow Empress, it's not that I didn't want to. It's that after the Starry Express contracted with Qian Renxue, it recorded information about another god when it sent me feedback about Qian Renxue's condition."

Snow Empress frowned. "Another god?"

Lin Yu said, "It's Sea God Tang San. He placed a Divine Prohibition on Qian Renxue without even her discovering it herself. But if we recklessly take Qian Renxue through spacetime, he will immediately discover us and stop us. Then we'll be in danger."

Snow Empress was utterly shocked. She had never imagined that Qian Renxue had a Divine Prohibition placed on her.

Anything involving the methods of a god was exceedingly difficult to deal with.

That was why Lin Yu had resolutely crushed the contract. Although obtaining the top-tier Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and greatly increased Soul Power felt wonderful, and could even resolve their current life-or-death crisis,

it would leave them with endless future troubles.

Sea God Tang San would discover them sooner or later. When that happened, killing them would be no different from crushing a bug.

When Lin Yu told Qian Renxue about this, she immediately frowned deeply. Only after recalling the way Sea God Tang San had finally allowed her to leave did she realize that he had used some means.

"My divine position had already shattered, so I could no longer sense divine power. That was why he dared to place a Divine Prohibition on me."

"And I actually thought his conscience had awakened, that he had let me go out of consideration for my mother's plea."

"He was just waiting for me to regain my divine position, so he could kill me completely."

Qian Renxue hated Tang San to the bone. If not for Tang San, she would not have lost everything.

Lin Yu asked doubtfully, "More than twenty years ago, I left you a note telling you to watch out for Tang San, and even told you to take some aggressive measures. You could have even erased him."

"So how did you let him grow to his current level?"

That was what puzzled Lin Yu. When he had left the dungeon and leaped away, he had clearly written on the note that Qian Renxue should beware of the vile man Tang San.

But more than twenty years had passed. Even if Tang San had not died, Qian Renxue's schemes should have weakened him.

Yet now, Lin Yu found that aside from avoiding the feelings toward Tang San that she had possessed in the original story, Qian Renxue seemed not to have changed anything else at all.

Qian Renxue shook her head. "When you wrote on the note that Tang San would threaten my future self, I secretly sent many people to assassinate him."

"I even mobilized Titled Douluo."

"And back then, when he was at his weakest, he wasn't even Level 40."

"But somehow, I don't know what change occurred. The people I sent to assassinate him would always fail for one reason or another, instead helping his strength grow."

"After it happened repeatedly, even when I personally took action, I suffered losses. That man seemed impossible to kill. Whenever he was driven into a desperate situation, he would always turn the tables in the end."

"Later, he inexplicably became the Sea God and Shura God. Even I, after becoming the Angel God, found it difficult to oppose him."

Hearing Qian Renxue's description of all these years, Lin Yu could think of only one possibility.

In the early stages, Tang San had Tang Hao secretly protecting him, while in the middle and later stages, the Sea God and Shura God had both intervened.

That was the only way Tang San could remain carefree and successfully counterattack despite Qian Renxue's various assassination attempts.

After pondering again and again, Lin Yu could only feel that fate had ordained it. Just now, he had even considered using the Starry Express to travel back into the past, have Snow Empress kill the weak Tang San, and render Qian Renxue's Divine Prohibition ineffective.

But now that he thought about it, this was fundamentally impossible. He would encounter many obstacles to killing Tang San, just like Qian Renxue had, and could only return empty-handed in the end.

Besides, they had only half a day left.

Half a day meant only one chance to assassinate him, and the unknown odds were simply too great.

After learning all this, Qian Renxue revealed an angry expression. "The Sea God and Shura God actually interfered in the Human Realm without authorization. They violated the rules of the God Realm. They should be punished for this."

But that might be true, yet how could she, with her divine position shattered, expose this matter to the God Realm?

The Sea God and Shura God had already calculated everything. At the same time Tang San became a god, they had also been eliminating the threats posed by the opposing Angel God and Rakshasa God factions.

Qian Renxue could only vent her indignation. There was nothing she could do.

But Lin Yu comforted her. "It's nothing major. They merely took the first step, making you lose everything for the time being. But they never imagined that we could still travel back into the past."

"We still have countless chances to rise again."

"But they have only this one chance to claim victory."

Qian Renxue looked worried. "But when I signed the contract with you just now, I already saw that your life was linked to another person's, and you only have half a day left to live."

"If you could sign a contract with me, my power would make you immune to this damage. But now that the contract cannot be completed, what are you going to do?"

Lin Yu smiled. "I was worried about this before, but then I had another thought. The note I left you was written more than twenty years ago."

"And throughout these twenty years, you had already begun assassinating Tang San when you were a maiden. That means you had already come to trust my words completely."

"So even if I can't sign a contract with you now, I can simply return to any point in these past twenty years and sign a new contract with a version of you who had not yet been subjected to the Divine Prohibition."

This was entirely feasible. Even Snow Empress in his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness thought it was marvelous, praising Lin Yu for possessing not only extraordinary courage but also extraordinary wisdom.

With Lin Yu leading her, a desperate situation would no longer be desperate. Instead, they would break through it and find a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, after hearing Lin Yu's words, Qian Renxue could not help but marvel as well. She imagined that every past version of herself would have buried a trust in Lin Yu deep within her heart because of that note.

As long as Lin Yu could make use of that trust, signing another contract would not be a problem.

Joy returned to Qian Renxue's face. As long as Lin Yu could sign a contract with his past self, they would once again have a chance to change everything.

Lin Yu said, "There's no time to lose. Let me travel back into the past now."

He was about to use his Starry Express Martial Soul to travel through spacetime.

But Qian Renxue stopped him.

Lin Yu asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Qian Renxue said, "I suddenly thought of something. Although my past self would trust you, she had never encountered hardship in her entire life. If you rush to sign a contract with her like this, there may still be some chance of failure."
