Lin Yu and Snow Empress teleported out of the dungeon.
After the few predicted events came true one by one that day, Pufferfish and Snake Lance also confirmed that Lin Yu truly possessed the ability to foresee the future, so they did not extract his Soul Power.
Thus, as soon as Lin Yu recovered his Soul Power, he wrote a letter and then activated the Starry Express's teleportation.
They arrived in one leap at Jialing Pass more than twenty years later, during the Battle of the Three Gods.
Snow Empress had heard Lin Yu say that the time was ripe and that the remaining few days would be enough to contract that Level-100 God.
That was why she asked.
She looked at the three combatants in the sky, all Level-100 Gods—the Rakshasa God, the Angel God, and the Sea God—and had no idea which god Lin Yu meant.
Lin Yu revealed the answer. "It's the one with six pairs of holy wings. See her? The most beautiful one. That's Qian Renxue. The handsome prince we saw in the dungeon was actually her disguised as a man. This is her true appearance."
Only then did Snow Empress notice Qian Renxue's features. They vaguely resembled those of the handsome prince she had seen in the dungeon.
She exclaimed, "In just over twenty years, she grew into a Level-100 God. The talent of human Soul Masters is truly unimaginable."
Soul beasts measured their cultivation in tens of thousands of years.
To become a god, they needed to endure a long million-year journey.
Human Soul Masters, on the other hand, could rise to become Level-100 Gods in just over twenty years.
Lin Yu said, "Those are extremely rare human Soul Masters. In a thousand years, only these three have appeared. Everyone else can only stop at the Titled Douluo level and eventually die of old age."
Suddenly, Snow Empress furrowed her delicate brows. "The Angel God Qian Renxue and the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong have joined forces, but they still seem unable to defeat that Sea God Tang San. Could the shattered godhood of a Level-100 God you mentioned before refer to the Angel God Qian Renxue being defeated?"
Lin Yu said, "That's right. The Angel God Qian Renxue will be defeated in this battle, and her godhood will shatter. That will also be when she is at her weakest."
"When the time comes, we'll find an opportunity to meet her and contract her."
That had been Lin Yu's original plan.
However, Snow Empress felt that the plan was extremely risky. Even a Level-100 God with shattered godhood was far beyond anything they could fight.
But after what had happened in the dungeon, Snow Empress knew that Lin Yu was someone who liked taking risks.
Although every one of Lin Yu's risks was incredibly dangerous, he always managed to win in the end.
It was truly unbelievable, and it also caused Snow Empress to develop an indescribable trust in Lin Yu. It seemed that as long as she followed him, they would keep winning.
Thus, Snow Empress also began supporting Lin Yu's actions.
"When are we going to do it? We probably have only five days left, and time is extremely tight."
Snow Empress was still grievously wounded and on the verge of death. In five days, Lin Yu would be drained of his life force, and they would once again face a life-or-death crisis.
Lin Yu said, "The Battle of the Three Gods will end today. Qian Renxue's godhood will shatter, and she will officially be defeated. But we have to wait until the fifth day to meet her. That will be when she is at her weakest."
"Her emotions will be extremely unstable after her defeat. If we rashly go looking for her, she may kill us."
The Battle of the Three Gods indeed drew to a close that day. Bibi Dong died, while Qian Renxue's godhood shattered, and she wept bitterly.
After Sea God Tang San won the final victory, Douluo Continent welcomed an unprecedented unification.
In every street and alley, everyone was singing the praises of Sea God Tang San.
But to the defeated Angel God Qian Renxue, all of it sounded unbearably ironic. She left the crowds and came alone to the Star Dou Great Forest.
At some point, a yellowed sheet of paper had appeared in her hand. The years had accumulated upon it, and it seemed to be more than twenty years old.
The final line on the paper read: If you have reached the point of having nowhere left to turn, come to the Star Dou Great Forest and find me.
Qian Renxue had indeed reached the point of having nowhere left to turn. Her grandfather had sacrificed himself to grant her the Angel Godhood, yet her godhood had shattered during her battle with Tang San, and in the end she had also lost her birth mother, Bibi Dong.
The Spirit Hall was now hated and attacked by everyone.
Qian Renxue had lost everything. Tears streamed down her face without stopping for four days and four nights.
If the final line on the paper had not brought her hope, she might have lost her soul and completely become an empty shell, a walking corpse.
But the paper had been left by someone more than ten years ago. Whether it was true or false rested entirely on hope.
Yet hope would not disappear. When Qian Renxue was at her most desperate, she saw a person in tattered clothes in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Just as when they had met in the dungeon, Qian Renxue had never expected that more than twenty years later, the other person's appearance would remain unchanged, just as it was in her memories.
Lin Yu slowly approached Qian Renxue and held out a sheet of paper. "Don't cry. Everything can still be salvaged. Everything you lost will return."
That was exactly what Qian Renxue had hoped for most. These past few days, she had dreamed day and night that everything could be salvaged, only to wake and face the cruel reality again.
She was extremely weak. Even though she had once ascended to become the Angel God, at that moment she could not help murmuring before this mortal, "Really?"
Lin Yu smiled. "Really. Do you remember when we first met in the dungeon more than twenty years ago? You called me a madman because I possessed the ability to foresee the future. But over the next twenty-odd days, didn't my predictions come true?"
"Later, I also left you a sheet of paper with dozens of predictions about future events written on it."
"Unless I'm mistaken, every one of them has come true over these past twenty-odd years."
"That's why you came to the Star Dou Great Forest to find me."
That was precisely why Qian Renxue had come to find Lin Yu. Over the past twenty-odd years, she had personally watched every one of the dozens of future events Lin Yu had written down come true.
If he did not truly possess the ability to foresee the future, how could every one of them have happened?
The final prediction on the paper was that even if Qian Renxue lost the divine battle, she would still have a chance to make a comeback and reclaim everything she had once lost.
But the fulfillment of that final prediction ultimately rested with Lin Yu in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Qian Renxue was like a drowning person clutching the last straw. She involuntarily seized Lin Yu's hand. "Tell me, what can you do? Even if it costs me my life, I'm willing."
In the Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, Snow Empress watched this scene and was utterly astonished. Lin Yu, you succeeded. You really found an opportunity when a Level-100 God was at her weakest.
The Qian Renxue before them had clearly come to regard Lin Yu as her last hope. At this moment, no matter what Lin Yu said, Qian Renxue would choose to believe him.
Even if he asked her to die, she would still throw herself into it without hesitation, as long as she could reclaim everything she had once lost.
Yet Lin Yu did not act like someone taking advantage of her vulnerability. He gently patted Qian Renxue's back and comforted her. "Qian Renxue, we can discuss this slowly. You trust me too much right now, and that isn't good. It makes it easy for you to suffer a loss."
"Let's sit down and talk slowly. There's no need to rush."
Upon hearing this, all of Qian Renxue's grievances turned into tears and streamed down her face. She had lost everything and had never found anyone to confide in.
How could she have expected to be comforted like this?
