The Truth Behind the Sacrifice and Han Li's Turmoil

Upon seeing the chilling aura emanating from Han Li, Qian Daoliu looked at him.

Han Li did not answer his question immediately, but sat down instead.

The room fell silent.

Han Li deduced the hidden meanings from the images he saw and the information he already knew.

The so-called sacrifice is actually the final step in opening the inheritance, a step used to transfer Immortal Spiritual Energy and confirm the connection to the God Position.

In this process, the High Priestess acts more like a catalyst, using his divine power to open the passage, and his soul may even be guided to the Divine Realm.

Therefore, it is not necessary to perform a sacrifice; it is sufficient to allow the divine powers of the same origin to interact and draw each other together.

Of course, this process also tests the High Priestess's loyalty; once they pass this test, they are qualified to become God Officers.

That makes perfect sense, that makes perfect sense.

It even takes human nature into account. The God Officers in the Divine Realm are meant to assist the gods. Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty. If they pass the test, there is no problem in granting them eternal life.

As for those who are being tested to become the successors of the gods, this step is naturally unnecessary; there is no question of being loyal to oneself.

Therefore, the final step is entirely within one's control, which explains why Sea God was completely unconcerned about it.

He understood; at that moment, he truly understood.

"Grand Uncle-Master, you don't have to die, I told you."

Han Li raised his head to look at Qian Daoliu and patted his chest.

"Of course, if possible, it would be best to let me go into the Angel Temple."

Qian Daoliu looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"I am a devout follower of the Angel God. By the angels above, I, Han Li, swear that I have the utmost reverence for the Angel God."

Without a second thought, Han Li raised three fingers of his right hand. Yes, he admired the future Angel God Qian Renxue. Was there any problem?

Moreover, on the Douluo Continent, the oath is under his control. If he speaks the truth, who can question it?

At this moment, his expression was incredibly holy, and a ray of Holy Light shone from behind him.

Just kidding. He hasn't even come into contact with the power of divinity yet, but he has seen Gu Yue demonstrate the laws of light. Even if he hasn't mastered them yet, he can still try them out a little.

If he wanted to, it wouldn't be difficult for an Angel Phantom to appear behind him, but there was no need for it in front of Qian Daoliu. If it weren't to give Old Qian Daoliu a way out, he wouldn't even bother to fake his Holy Light.

Qian Daoliu looked at him, remaining silent, his conviction and reason battling within him.

"Grand Uncle-Master, angels are righteous but not pedantic. Xiao Xue's first half of life was already tragic enough. You don't want her to be alone after she becomes a god, do you?"

Seeing that he was already somewhat tempted, Han Li delivered the final blow.

Qian Daoliu's so-called persistence is twofold: first, for the Angel God, and second, for his granddaughter.

He does care about the Spirit Hall, but to be honest, the Spirit Hall is a product of the Qian Family Angels Faith. It's true that he values it, but its importance is secondary.

Moreover, with the Angel God, would the continuation of the Spirit Hall still be a problem? Qian Daoliu's right eyelid twitched. For some reason, he didn't like this sentence, even though he knew Han Li was trying to persuade him.

"Does the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall need any reason to pay homage to the faith of the Spirit Hall? Martial Uncle, you are the High Priestess. Xiao Xue will be the new Angel God, and she will forgive your actions."

Han Li's seductive words continued to pour into Qian Daoliu's ears, making him somewhat irritated.

"Alright, stop talking. I agree, but you must change into the proper clothes and be respectful."

Qian Daoliu made a concession; no one wanted to die, especially after learning about the Angel God's condition. However, he still silently repented in his heart, acknowledging his sins.

"Okay, Uncle-Master, no problem."

The Holy Light behind Han Li quickly dissipated, and he beamed with joy.

To be honest, his biggest worry was that the High Priestess would resolutely disagree. In that case, he would have to forcibly break through the space to enter. They were all on the same side, and it was better to negotiate than to resort to force.

Under Qian Daoliu's watchful gaze, Han Li quickly changed into the crown robes of the Spirit Hall Saint Child and stared straight at him.

After informing Ye Lingling with his Spiritual Power, Han Li followed Qian Daoliu into the Angel Temple amidst Qian Daoliu's helpless expression.

The energy was extremely concentrated, and through the power of rules, it was filtered into elements that perfectly matched the Angel Martial Soul. However, the spatial barrier was very thin. Was it a small, imperfect demiplane?

Han Li surveyed the Angel Temple and made a preliminary assessment.

"Xiao Xue will come in to cultivate in an hour."

Behind him, Qian Daoliu suddenly spoke up.

"Okay, I understand, Senior Uncle. It shouldn't take that long. I'll just take a look."

Han Li understood his subtext: before the God Exam ended, he didn't want Qian Renxue to know too much, so as not to affect her progress.

That's exactly what he thought too.

The two hurried forward to the Angel Statue. Han Li saw the Angel Holy Sword stuck in front of the statue. This was a genuine divine Divine Artifact, as evidenced by the rich power of the rules on it.

Sensing the divine power emanating from him, the Angel Holy Sword also shone with a clear and bright light.

If I were to pull it out, my Grand Uncle-Master would probably be furious. Subconsciously, Han Li turned his head and met Qian Daoliu's scrutinizing gaze.

Han Li. He was just thinking about it and wouldn't actually pull it out. He could force it out, but that would damage the Land of Inheritance, which wasn't fun.

Following the etiquette of the Spirit Hall, Han Li bowed to the Angel Statue and then touched the base of the statue. This was something that only a few devout believers could do, but with Qian Daoliu's tacit approval, it was not impossible for him.

Furthermore, he's practically a god, even though he's not officially part of the official ranks, so it's definitely not disrespectful.

By manipulating the power of the relevant rules, Han Li quickly analyzed the patterns on the surface and finally reached the core of the underlying structure.

Then, he opened his eyes and smiled.

As he expected, the core underlying logic of the Angel Statue is to connect with the Divine Realm.

When the maximum power is activated, the channel between the two will be temporarily opened, and the divine power in the Divine Realm temple or God Kingdom will be transmitted down legally and without violating the rules set by the Divine Realm.

However, the commotion is quite significant. Once this is activated, the Divine Realm will definitely sense it. Otherwise, Han Li wouldn't mind using this bug to steal some energy from the Divine Realm. It's a pity.

"When it comes to the final step, I can transfer power to you and open the channel without any impact."

Han Li looked at Qian Daoliu and said with absolute certainty.

He sensed it; although those divine powers contained the characteristics of the Angel God's power, they had been processed and were considered unclaimed energy, lacking advanced identification procedures.

It's understandable, since it's prepared for the High Priestess and the successor. Without the manipulation of the Angel God, it's easy to be fooled. Otherwise, how did the Sea God manage to tamper with it in the original story? A hint of joy flashed across Qian Daoliu's face. If there were no other choice, who would be willing to die?

Then, he looked at Han Li.

"I can help you persuade Xiao Xue, but I can't guarantee success."

He didn't say he would stand on Han Li's side, but he had made up his mind.

"Alright, Uncle-Master, let's go out first. It might not be the final solution yet."

Han Li tore open the space and pulled him back into the room.

A hint of unease flashed across Qian Daoliu's face. This kid had stopped pretending after achieving his goal. He had modified the entrance, and with his current abilities, he probably wouldn't need Qian Daoliu's permission to enter the Angel Temple.

"Senior Uncle, try to touch the Faith Power. It would be a waste to let it flow into the Divine Realm in vain. The overflowing Faith Power is actually very beneficial to you."

Han Li gave a hint: unlike Sea God Island, that one is alive and will actively collect Faith Power.

On the Angel God's side, if Qian Daoliu were to absorb a little bit, no one would notice. In previous years, he had secretly improved his abilities by doing just that.

To be honest, if Han Li were in Qian Daoliu's position, even if he wasn't talented, he could still catch up with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's progress after a hundred years. Of course, this refers to the degree of physical transformation, not the quantity, since the other party's age and size are there for all to see.

Of course, given the complete automation of the Angel God's assessment, Han Li's level of faith would most likely prevent him from becoming High Priestess.

Qian Daoliu glanced at him but did not respond.

Han Li didn't care. He was just giving him something to do. The first step had been taken and the rules had been broken. Even if Qian Daoliu was unwilling, things could not go back to the way they were before.

But he also felt that, given Qian Daoliu's personality, he would continue to uphold his duties, a rather contradictory thought.

"Tsk tsk, I really do have a villainous mindset," Han Li thought to himself, almost laughing.

"I think your actions are more like entrusting an orphan to someone else than mine."

Qian Daoliu sat back down in his chair, and after a while, looked up at Han Li.

"Really? I think so too."

Han Li's smile remained unchanged; he was simply in the habit of making plans in advance.

It's not entirely wrong to say that he entrusted his son to someone else.

In fact, with the changes in strength and situation, his early plans had been revised countless times.

Initially, the Spirit Hall and the future Angel God Qian Renxue were both targets he planned to forcibly kidnap. However, as his strength increased and he came into contact with the Soul Beast, his thoughts became more and more complicated.

They sent the women and the elders of the Worship Hall to the God Exam as quickly as possible, attempting to prevent Qian Renxue from participating in the final battle.

Han Li knew very well that some actions were not the best choice under the circumstances. His mind was actually a bit confused, and many of his actions were subconscious rather than the best options.

He couldn't be sure whether he would take the action of forcibly cutting ties with them when that day came.

He promised at least five First Level God to the Soul Beast Race, but perhaps he himself will be the only one in the end, since only the Soul Beast Race has a reason to participate in the war.

In the end, it all comes down to his final strength after his promotion.

This is probably what the super brain asks, and the super brain gives the option of using super power, Han Li thought to himself.
