Desperate Future (Seeking Reads, Reads Are Important)

Seeing Qian Renxue already crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Xia Wuyou opened his mouth to comfort her.

"Little Xue Sister, even though this truth is cruel, I think with things like this, a short pain is better than a long one."

"If you want to cry, just cry out loud!"

"Holding in your emotions too much will only seriously affect your mental health."

At these words, Qian Renxue could no longer hold back: "Wuwuwu, why, why is it like this, why? Why is the murderer who killed my father Qian Xunji my mother Bibi Dong? Why, why, why is this!"

"My birth and existence are nothing but a tragedy. My father is dead, my mother is insane, and my grandfather's heart is broken. Maybe I shouldn't have come into this world at all."

Qian Renxue hadn't believed Xia Wuyou's words at first, but he could recount every detail of her childhood without a single mistake, and combined with the information she had gathered over the years that perfectly matched up, she had no choice but to believe this was the truth.

Qian Renxue cried for a very long time.

Only then did she gradually regain her composure.

She lay quietly in Xia Wuyou's arms, her still-damp golden hair brushing against his lapel as she nuzzled it.

Her voice was very soft, very weary: "Wuyou, you've already spoken of the past. As for the future of the Martial Soul Hall, I wonder if you can tell me?"

She had accepted the truth of the past, but Qian Renxue was not the type to dwell on it.

The resilience of the Angel bloodline was carved deep into her bones. Once the tears were shed, the burdens she had to bear would still be borne.

Seeing Qian Renxue's stubbornness, Xia Wuyou could only sigh helplessly: "Ah! Little Xue, if I could, I wouldn't want you to know the future of the Martial Soul Hall—at least not now."

Faced with Xia Wuyou's persuasion, Qian Renxue said nothing, just silently stared at him, her meaning all too clear.

"Fine, fine, fine! I'll tell you, alright?"

Xia Wuyou's head ached under Qian Renxue's gaze.

"I know you came to the Heaven Dou Empire as a spy, disguising yourself as Xue Qinghe to endure hardship and seize control of the Heaven Dou Empire, all to prove yourself to Bibi Dong."

"But unfortunately, even if you seize control of the Heaven Dou Empire, it won't matter. Your Martial Soul Hall's plan to establish the Spirit Hall Empire and unify the Douluo Continent is doomed to fail—even if you become the Angel God in the future, and even if Bibi Dong becomes the Rakshasa God!"

At Xia Wuyou's words, Qian Renxue was utterly astonished.

"The Martial Soul Hall establishing the Spirit Hall Empire—not only do we have a soul master legion of tens of thousands, but also nine Title Douluo elders, six Peak Douluo from level ninety-six to ninety-eight, and my grandfather Qian Daoliu, a Peerless Douluo at level ninety-nine."

"Add me as the future Angel God, plus Bibi Dong as the Rakshasa God—two gods holding the line, fifteen Title Douluo, tens of thousands of soul master troops—with such a luxurious and unbeatable lineup, how could we possibly fail to unify the Douluo Continent?"

Qian Renxue wanted to refute Xia Wuyou's words, but what he had said about the past was an unshakable truth.

She just quietly looked at Xia Wuyou. Qian Renxue wasn't stupid—if even their Martial Soul Hall's future lineup couldn't accomplish the unification of the Douluo Continent, it could only mean there was an insurmountable force at play.

For example, if the Douluo Continent in the future wouldn't just have her as the Angel God and Bibi Dong as the Rakshasa God, but other factions would inevitably produce Deities as well, or some Deity would appear to stop the Martial Soul Hall's plan to unify the continent—after all, only a Deity could oppose a Deity.

Hearing Qian Renxue's analysis, Xia Wuyou didn't deny it. He simply nodded, acknowledging that her reasoning was correct.

"Mm, that's right, Little Xue. Just as you guessed, only a Deity can resist a Deity. In the future I saw, you were forced by Bibi Dong's pressure to launch your plan early, triggering the coup at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. But in the end, because of Tang San, the son of Tang Hao, you failed to seize power, and it was Xue Beng, the one who had been hiding the deepest, who inherited the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"When you returned to the Martial Soul Hall, your grandfather not only initiated the Angel God Exam for you, but to ensure you could complete all the exams and become the new Angel God, he handed all authority of the Martial Soul Hall to Bibi Dong and established the Spirit Hall Empire, directly declaring war on the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire."

"After you completed the Eighth Angel God Exam, your grandfather willingly sacrificed himself for you to complete the Ninth Exam, helping you fully become the new Angel God. Later, because of your twisted desire for control, you wanted Tang San to submit to you, so you held back."

"The result was that you let Tang San go again and again. You spared him once today, then twice tomorrow, repeatedly suffering setbacks at his hands—you practically became a horse-herder."

"It was precisely because of this foolish decision that Tang San gained enough time to grow, completed the Sea God's exam, and directly became the new Sea God."

"Even though you and Bibi Dong joined forces in the future and successfully killed Tang San, who had become the Sea God, Tang San had the backing of the Asura God. He is one of the five God Kings of the Douluo God Realm, the strongest of the five Deities, bar none."

"It didn't matter that you and Bibi Dong killed Tang San, because the Asura God has a grudge against the Angel God. Tang San was the one the Asura God pushed forward to wipe out the Angel God's legacy on the Douluo Continent—that is, your Angel Family and the Martial Soul Hall."

"The future went just as I said: you and Bibi Dong joined forces, killed Tang San, and even crushed his heart. But none of it mattered. The Asura God not only found the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess, but also put a Super Artifact to the couple's necks, forcing them to pass on their divine positions. The new Food God and the new Nine-Colored Goddess then performed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Resurrection Divine Light, and directly revived the dead Tang San."

"To completely destroy the Angel Family and the Martial Soul Hall, and to give Tang San enough power to kill you, the Angel God, and Bibi Dong, the Rakshasa God, the Asura God directly passed his God King position to Tang San, making him a powerful Deity with a Dual God Position."

"In the end, the outcome didn't disappoint the Asura God. Tang San successfully defeated you, the Angel God, and directly destroyed your Angel Godhead, cutting off the Angel God's appearance forever. And because your divine position was abolished, you became a complete cripple. Just as Tang San was about to kill you to eliminate the threat, it was Bibi Dong who had a change of heart, feeling she owed you too much, and took that fatal blow from Tang San in your place, dying. The Martial Soul Hall ultimately turned to ashes."

After listening to the future Xia Wuyou had described, Qian Renxue lay dazed in his arms, her mind churning like a stormy sea, unable to calm down for a long time. The amount of information was too great; she couldn't digest it all at once.
