"We should think about ourselves too."

"Let's finish the cause he left unfinished together. Let's become gods and forever protect the world he bought with his life."

A flicker of wariness flashed through Poseidon's eyes as he looked at Qian Yuhan.

In her boundless grief, Qian Yuhan raised her tear-streaked face and looked at the "close friend who had brought her terrible news."

Seeing the "sincere" sorrow on his face, she did not doubt him.

Qian Yuhan could not have imagined the truth. She slowly nodded.

From that moment on, her conviction to become a god began to waver.

If, before this, Qian Yuhan's conviction to become a god had been to completely sweep away the darkness and gloom from Douluo Continent, cleanse evil, and bring sacred light—

And at the same time, keep pace with Wei Yuan.

To be together forever.

To ascend to the God Realm together and become a godly couple envied by all.

Then now, besides doing it for Douluo Continent, Qian Yuhan's reason for becoming a god was to ensure that she had a long enough life to sustain her until the day Wei Yuan returned.

Beneath the Sky Screen, everyone saw everything clearly.

Poseidon's hypocritical face, Qian Yuhan's grief as she was kept in the dark, and the ignorant child in her arms.

The entire continent fell into a deathly, furious silence.

"Shameless! Absolutely shameless!"

"He killed someone else's father, then deceived someone else's mother and exploited her grief!"

"This Poseidon... he simply isn't worthy of being a god!"

"If not for him, Wei Yuan and Qian Yuhan could have ascended to the God Realm together and stayed together forever!"

Qian Yuhan returned to the Secret Chamber where she and Wei Yuan had once been together.

Her face was expressionless. There was no sorrow greater than a dead heart.

She had once tried to bind him with love, to keep him through possession.

But in the end, all she received was a promise and his retreating back.

"Why... why would even light like yours be swallowed by this chaotic world..."

Qian Yuhan's voice was hoarse, filled with endless grief.

Yet amid that grief, an unprecedented realization began to take shape.

She no longer thought of her own unfulfilled love, but of the chaos and disorder of this world.

She thought of the endlessly emerging Evil Spirit Masters across the continent, of the conspiracies and betrayals hidden in the shadows.

She thought of the countless ordinary people displaced by the struggles of Soul Masters.

Even someone as powerful and dazzling as Wei Yuan had been forced to throw himself into unknown danger, to confront those hidden "missions" and enemies.

This world was filled with far too much darkness, evil, and concealment.

Just then, an incomparably sacred light descended from the heavens and enveloped her.

It was the ultimate power of the Six-winged Angel Spirit, as well as her opportunity to Create Own Godhood and become the Angel God.

Bathed in divine light, Qian Yuhan slowly rose to her feet.

The personal grief and love in Qian Yuhan's eyes were fading, replaced by a vast compassion and resolve that mourned for all living things.

Qian Yuhan understood that personal love was ultimately insignificant.

If the world itself was a mire, then even the purest love would eventually be tainted.

What she needed to do was not preserve a single ray of light, but fill the entire world with light!

Beneath the Sky Screen, a new line of tiny golden words, radiating a sacred aura, slowly emerged:

[She sublimated her personal love and grief into compassion for the entire continent.] [She saw through the chaos of the world and the sins hidden beneath the light. She understood that personal love was ultimately insignificant, while dispelling the gloom shrouding the continent was her true mission as the Saint.] [To cleanse evil, to dispel the gloom, and to let sacred radiance shine upon every corner, she made a grand vow to establish an unprecedented order and bring eternal light to Douluo Continent through absolute power!] [Spirit Hall was born from that day onward. What it bore was all the sacredness and light that a woman, after losing her beloved, offered to this world.]

The image froze on Qian Yuhan's face, illuminated by divine light.

There was no longer any obsession or possessiveness in Qian Yuhan's gaze. In their place stood an unshakable majesty and mercy belonging to a deity.

The entire Douluo Continent fell silent.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden truth.

So the birth of Spirit Hall and the Angel God's Becoming a God had originated from such a tragedy of unfulfilled love.

Yet it had ultimately been sublimated into such a magnificent ideal!

Qian Daoliu's body stopped trembling. He straightened his back, tears filling his eyes as he was overcome with pride and reverence.

"So that was it... Ancestor, she... she did it for the entire continent!

She turned her pain into light that protected the world!"

Bibi Dong's smile froze on her face. A flicker of disbelief, jealousy, and unwillingness flashed through her eyes.

She had thought she would see Qian Yuhan at her most wretched, yet the Sky Screen had given her such lofty praise!

"Sacrifice?

Hmph, it's just another form of control!

Using a noble excuse to fulfill her desire to control everything!"

Bibi Dong snarled in a low voice, but there was far less confidence in it.

The people of Shrek Academy fell into even deeper contemplation.

Master Yu Xiaogang let out a long sigh.

"Using a personal tragedy as the starting point to make a grand vow to cleanse the world... such breadth of heart is indeed beyond ordinary people.

But the path she chose was far too tyrannical."

Tang San's expression was complicated. He murmured to himself, a trace of disdain flashing through his eyes.

"So Spirit Hall's foundation was to establish an order of absolute light...

But in the process, would every existence that refused to submit to that 'light' be regarded as 'evil'?"

Above the Sky Screen, the scenes of Qian Yuhan's life gradually faded, finally settling on her lonely figure as she ascended to the God Position and looked down upon all living beings.

That figure possessed supreme majesty, yet also revealed endless loneliness.

The entire continent remained immersed in the shock of that tangled love and hatred, unable to speak for a long time.

Above the Sky Screen, the image changed.

It settled on Qian Yuhan's face, filled with despair and unwillingness, after Wei Yuan left following their day and night of passion in the Secret Chamber.

The entire Douluo Continent fell silent.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden truth.

They saw the Saint's obsession, but they also saw her deep love and helplessness.

At the same time, they saw the grand vow the Angel God had made to cleanse evil, dispel the gloom, and let sacred radiance shine upon every corner.

And she had indeed accomplished it.

The present-day Douluo Continent still had the major sects fighting one another, while the two great empires eyed each other covetously.

But compared to Douluo Continent Twenty Thousand Years ago, it was vastly better.

Spirit Hall had stood tall on Douluo Continent for a full Twenty Thousand Years, benefiting Douluo Continent for so long.

For a time, nearly everyone's favorable impression of Spirit Hall rose dramatically.
