Qian Renxue Third on the Golden Ranking, Terrifying Rewards, Angel God!

"Mom!"

A piercing cry rang through the heavens.

Qian Renxue saw the fleeting killing intent in Tang San's eyes, saw the terrifying power gathered upon the Asura Demon Sword—power sufficient to destroy everything.

She knew Bibi Dong could not block this strike.

At that moment, Qian Renxue did not hesitate in the slightest.

She transformed into a streak of golden light and charged forward without a second thought, placing herself before Bibi Dong.

"Xue Er, don't!" Bibi Dong let out a despairing scream.

Yet Qian Renxue merely turned back and gave her a radiant smile.

It was the purest, most relieved smile of her life.

"Mom, if there is another life, I hope I can... feel your love sooner."

The next moment.

"Crack—"

A crisp shattering sound echoed through the depths of everyone's souls.

Qian Renxue's Angel God Armor shattered inch by inch.

The Twelve Wings behind her turned into a rain of light that filled the sky.

The Angel Heart within her—the God Position that represented supreme authority and power—exploded into fragments at that instant!

Her God Position shattered!

At the cost of shattering her own God Position, she blocked the Asura God's fatal strike and saved her mother, Bibi Dong.

And she herself fell from a lofty deity back into the mortal world.

The scene froze.

Qian Renxue fell from the sky as Bibi Dong rushed forward and caught her tightly in mid-air, tears streaming down her face.

Beneath the Sky Screen, the entirety of Douluo Continent fell into dead silence.

Everyone was shocked by this tragic and heroic scene.

To save her own mother, she had been willing to abandon her God Position?

This... what kind of courage and resolve did that require?!

In Sunset Forest, Qian Renxue herself stood frozen.

Looking at herself upon the Sky Screen, at the self who had willingly given up everything for her mother, towering waves surged within her Golden Eyes.

So...

In my future self's heart, Mother is more important than the God Position...

Just then, Golden Light flowed across the Sky Screen, and a final evaluation slowly emerged.

[Evaluation: Her temperament is decent, and her talent unparalleled. Yet her fortune is poor; she is repeatedly troubled by love and deceived by fate. She harbors the ambition to slay a dragon, only to encounter the Son of Destiny. Tragic, lamentable.]

Poor fortune...

Son of Destiny...

Just a few simple words, yet they laid bare all the unwillingness and sorrow of her life.

However, the evaluation was not the end.

Buzz—!

Even more resplendent Golden Light crashed down from the heavens, enveloping Qian Renxue's entire body.

[Third Place on the Golden Ranking, Heavenly Dao's Blessing!]

[Reward One: Bright Holy Sword (Supreme Divine Artifact)!]

The instant the words fell, a magnificent long sword formed entirely from pure light, its blade engraved with countless sacred runes, condensed from the void and slowly descended into Qian Renxue's hand.

The hilt was warm and smooth, yet the blade radiated a terrifying aura capable of purifying all evil in the world!

[Reward Two: Blazing Divine Heart (can rebuild the foundation of a God Position)!]

A golden heart the size of a fist, dazzling like the sun and beating without cease, appeared out of thin air. It transformed into a streak of light and instantly fused into Qian Renxue's chest.

A warm and boundless power immediately spread through every part of her body, repairing the slight instability caused by her Martial Soul Evolution and making her feel an unprecedented sense of completeness and strength!

[Reward Three: Three God-Bestowed Soul Rings!]

Three golden soul rings containing endless sacred aura appeared from thin air, quietly floating before her.

[Reward Four: One Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone (Right Arm Bone of the Blazing Seraph)!]

A translucent arm bone, as though carved from golden crystal, radiated a gentle glow as it slowly flew toward Qian Renxue's right arm and fused with it perfectly.

The string of rewards left everyone present utterly dumbfounded.

A Supreme Divine Artifact!

A treasure capable of restoring godhood!

God-Bestowed Soul Ring!

Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

Th-This... what incredibly generous rewards!

Qian Renxue gripped the Bright Holy Sword, feeling the surging power brought by the Blazing Divine Heart within her. She was utterly stunned as never before.

She had thought that after the Sky Screen exposed everything about her—even showing her humiliating future of defeat and shattered godhood—what awaited her would be mockery and pity.

Yet she had never expected to receive such a heaven-defying opportunity instead!

The Douluo Continent beneath the Sky Screen fell into an eerie silence.

From the Papal Palace in Spirit City, to the ruins of the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace, to the streets and alleys of the Star Luo Empire, countless pairs of eyes stared blankly at the image as its light gradually faded.

The female Spirit Masters in particular felt deeply affected, their hearts heavy.

What a miserable woman.

At that moment, this was the thought resonating in the hearts of countless people across the continent.

Her origins were tragic, her childhood devoid of light, and after growing up, every step she took was wrong.

Her entire life seemed to have been spent paying for the mistakes of others.

If Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was the embodiment of good fortune—always making the right choice at crucial moments and receiving the best outcome—

Then Qian Renxue, the holy maiden of Spirit Hall, was the embodiment of misfortune.

Every step she took had been resolute, yet every step had led her into the abyss.

Especially that man named Tang San.

He was like the nemesis fate had ordained for Qian Renxue.

Whether it was her decade of infiltration ending in failure, the battle in the Sky Vault after becoming gods, or the final decisive battle at Jialing Pass—

Every time, the one standing before her and completely crushing all her efforts and hopes was the same person.

Beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Gu Nian looked at the woman before him holding the Bright Holy Sword, her expression complicated, and a thought stirred in his heart.

The Heavenly Dao Gold List seemed to reveal the past and judge merits and faults.

But in truth, was it not also plucking at the threads of fate, guiding predetermined paths toward an entirely new and unknown direction?

This game was becoming more and more interesting.

Gu Nian's gaze swept, seemingly casually, over Xue Ke beside him, whose face had turned deathly pale and whose eyes were filled with confusion.

The conflict between the sisters had yet to reach the point of eruption.

For now, the real show was unfolding across the continent.

Shrek Academy.

Amid the oppressive silence, Tang San was the first to break the stillness.

He let out a derisive laugh, his tone full of disdain and arrogance.

"The Pope's daughter, the Angel God—those titles sound impressive enough."

"But in the end, she was merely defeated by my hand."

Looking at the scene of Qian Renxue shattering her own godhood on the Sky Screen, not a trace of emotion stirred in his eyes.

"To make an enemy of me, Tang San—this is her fate."

"That's right, Third Brother!"

Oscar immediately leaned in, his face full of fawning praise.

"What Angel God? Wasn't she still pierced through by Third Brother's Guanyin's Tear in a single move? This proves that before absolute skill, even gods are nothing special!"

"No matter how lofty her godhood is, it's useless if she lacks brains."

Dai Mubai crossed his arms, admiration for the strong gleaming in his wicked eyes as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Letting sentimentality cloud her judgment, shattering her own godhood for a Bibi Dong—it was utterly foolish. She was never worthy of being your opponent, Third Brother."

Their flattery deepened the smile on Tang San's lips.

However, this exchange sent the atmosphere on the other side plummeting to freezing point.
