Qian Renxue: I Will Surpass My Ancestor! Qian Daoliu's "Oracle" (Please Bookmark!)

This was no longer a crisis of faith collapsing, but a massive public relations crisis that could be managed!

Qian Daoliu's gaze sharpened once more.

Within three days, he had to devise a response and minimize the damage this incident would inflict on Spirit Hall's reputation!

Heaven Dou Empire, Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.

Qian Renxue suddenly crushed the teacup in her hand. Scalding tea splashed across the back of her hand, yet she felt nothing.

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted to their limit as she stared fixedly at the line of words in the sky.

"Love that could not be attained..."

Those six words were like six sharp blades stabbing viciously into her heart.

She thought of herself.

She had disguised herself as Xue Qinghe and infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire for so many years. What had it all been for?

For Spirit Hall's great cause, for her own Path to Godhood.

Yet during that long life of disguise, Tang San's appearance had been like a beam of light shining into her cold, lonely heart, causing the heart that beat only for a God Position to stir with ripples it never should have known.

This, too, was a case of... love that could not be attained.

And now, Sky Screen was telling her that the First Generation Angel God she had inherited—the one she regarded as her ultimate goal—had once undergone an experience similar to hers?

It filled her with an absurd sense of irony, along with indescribable anger and shame!

(I won't fawn over or glorify Tang San. As the inheritor of the Sea God's Godly Inheritance, he and Qian Renxue will clash later because of their opposing positions.)

"No! I'm not you!"

Qian Renxue let out a low, hoarse roar. Golden Soul Power spilled uncontrollably from her body, shattering the furnishings in the study.

"My path will never be bound by emotion! I will surpass you and become a true god!"

Qian Renxue's pride would not allow her to be the same as anyone else, much less permit herself to be swayed by so-called "feelings."

Rather than resonating with her, Sky Screen's preview had stirred the deepest rebellion and competitive drive in her heart!

God Realm, Divine Realm Committee.

The Five God Kings watched the new preview on Sky Screen, their expressions growing uglier by the second.

"Damn it! It's back again!"

God of Destruction slammed his fist furiously onto the table, making the entire Divine King Conference Hall tremble.

"It has completely disregarded us and turned Douluo Continent into its stage!"

Goddess of Life frowned tightly, her tone full of concern.

"Our connection with the lower realm has been completely severed. We cannot send down an Oracle to clarify matters or refute it at all!"

God of Evil stroked his chin and chuckled.

"Interesting. Very interesting.

The Sea God broke faith and betrayed others, while the Angel God could not attain her love.

Who will be next?

Goodness?

Jealousy?

Or... your explosive temper, Destruction?"

"Are you looking to die?!"

God of Destruction glared at him.

"Enough!"

Asura God shouted coldly, stopping the argument before it could erupt.

Asura God's gaze was as deep as an abyss, as if it could pierce through space-time and see the truth behind Sky Screen.

"The purpose of this 'Sky Screen' is already obvious."

Asura God spoke slowly.

"It isn't exposing dark histories. It is systematically and selectively destroying the foundations of our faith among mortals!"

"The Sea God governs the oceans, while the Angel God represents light and faith.

These two God Positions have the most followers and the greatest influence among mortals.

Starting with them yields the best results."

Goddess of Goodness added, a trace of chill in her voice.

All the Divine Kings fell silent.

They realized that this was no longer one god's private grievance, but a massive conspiracy aimed at the order of the entire God Realm.

And now, they were like spectators trapped in a cage, able only to watch helplessly as their opponent tore down their house from the outside.

"We can't sit and wait for death any longer."

Asura God rose to his feet, a resolute killing intent flashing through his eyes.

"Since we cannot communicate with the lower realm, we can only attack its true body!"

He looked at the other four Divine Kings and said word by word:

"I propose that we activate the God Realm Core and gather the power of the Five God Kings. The moment Sky Screen appears three days from now, we will lock onto its Origin Source and strike it with Supreme God power!"

"Whatever it is, since it dares challenge the majesty of the God Realm, it must be completely erased!"

The moment he said this, even God of Evil, who was usually so carefree and cynical, revealed a grave expression.

Activating the God Realm Core and gathering the power of the Five God Kings for an attack was the highest-level offensive order in the God Realm. It was enough to destroy an entire galaxy!

They were formally declaring war on that mysterious Sky Screen!

A storm was brewing, and undercurrents surged.

Three days.

To mortals, it was no more than the flick of a finger.

But for Douluo Continent at this moment, those three days stretched as long as a century.

Sky Screen's preview hung over everyone's head like a Sword of Damocles.

The entire continent's attention had focused on Spirit Hall as never before.

Upon that colossal institution which had stood for ten thousand years and represented the highest authority in the Soul Master world.

People discussed it endlessly, speculating what the Angel God's "unattainable love" could possibly have been like.

Some troublemakers linked it to the Sea God's scandal and fabricated all manner of vile rumors.

Others, devout followers of the Angel God, firmly believed there had to be some hidden truth—that it was a trial from a god beyond mortal understanding.

The atmosphere across the continent became stranger than ever.

A stillness before the storm pressed down so heavily that people could barely breathe.

Spirit City, Worship Hall.

On the second day after Sky Screen's preview appeared, an "Oracle" personally issued by Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu swept from Spirit City to every Spirit Hall branch across the continent with overwhelming force.

The Oracle's contents were solemn and dignified:

"First Generation Angel God Qian Yuhan encountered a trial of love while undergoing trials in the mortal world.

However, with all living beings in her heart, our ancestor severed her mortal ties with supreme resolve. She relinquished small love to achieve great love, ultimately attaining her God Position and transforming into light that illuminated the world.

This was a divine trial, incomparable to the love between ordinary mortals.

Sky Screen's words have been taken out of context, with the intent of shaking faith.

All those belonging to Spirit Hall must distinguish right from wrong, stand firm in their faith, and not be deceived by external evils!"

The moment this Oracle was issued, it immediately served as a Stabilizing needle of the sea.

The unrest within Spirit Hall that had been caused by Sky Screen's preview quickly settled.

The devout believers seemed to find their backbone, one after another defining Sky Screen's actions as "blasphemy and slander against the gods."

"See? I told you Lord Angel God was great!"

"Severing emotional ties for the sake of all living beings—what a noble sacrifice!"

"Sky Screen truly is an evil thing, trying to bewitch people by twisting the gods' past!"

Qian Daoliu's move was truly brilliant.

He did not deny the existence of the "love affair." Instead, he redefined it, elevating it from a potentially reputation-damaging "secret" into a "trial" that displayed divinity.
