God Realm's Reaction

"Divine Ancestor, you were so powerful. How could you have died?" Qian Xunji asked.

"My time is running out. I can only tell you that it is related to the Sea God and the Asura God. You will have to investigate the rest yourself."

"You must study these two Divine Skills carefully: Eternal Blazing Sun and Six-Winged Sword Wheel Dance. Although Eternal Blazing Sun is a Divine Skill, it is a support-type Soul Skill and is not particularly powerful on its own. But once paired with Six-Winged Sword Wheel Dance, its power increases severalfold."

"Therefore, Eternal Blazing Sun and Six-Winged Sword Wheel Dance are highly unique Divine Skills. They complement one another, and you must comprehend their essence," the Angel God's Spiritual Sense said.

"I understand, Divine Ancestor. I will definitely avenge you." Qian Xunji's eyes gleamed fiercely as he spoke with savage determination.

Sea God, Asura God, just wait. Sooner or later, I, Qian Xunji, will come to settle the score with you.

"They are very powerful. You must never confront them head-on. After I am gone, the Angel Lineage will be entrusted to you. The God Realm is far more complicated than you imagine. Be careful," the Angel God instructed.

Qian Xunji nodded. He understood that this was the elder's final piece of advice to the younger generation, and he listened intently.

"Throughout my life, I eradicated the scourge of Evil Soul Masters, founded Spirit Hall, ascended to the God Realm, and became the Angel God. What greater joy could there be? I have no regrets even in death. The only things I cannot set aside are the Spirit Hall I founded with my own hands and the Angel Lineage. Qian Xunji, you must inherit my will and continue protecting Spirit Hall and the continent." With that, the Angel God's Spiritual Sense slowly dissipated, turning into specks of dust upon the wind. From that day onward, there was no longer an Angel God.

Qian Xunji forcibly held back his tears, refusing to let them fall. Yet droplets still left streaks as they ran down his cheeks.

Qian Xunji could not deceive himself. The Angel God had truly fallen. From now on, the Divine Ancestor would exist only in legend.

He suddenly felt the immense burden upon his shoulders. But he did not care. So long as he lived, he would protect Spirit Hall and everything he cherished.

"Brother Qin, why are you crying?" At some point, Man Yao had gradually awakened. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the tears streaming down Qian Xunji's face.

"I'm not crying. I won't cry." Qian Xunji turned around and used Soul Power to evaporate the tears, as though they had never existed.

Douluo Continent, God Realm.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

One blue and one red figure streaked swiftly across the horizon.

After an unknown length of time, as the two balls of light continued to cross paths, their speeds gradually slowed.

A moment later—

"Poseidon, did you feel it?" The speaker was a red-haired man. His entire body radiated baleful intent, and he held a Blood Red longsword in his hand as he spoke calmly.

"Yes. I sensed the Angel God's aura again. It was in the Lower Realm of Douluo Continent, as though she was fighting someone, but afterward it completely disappeared." Beside the red-haired man stood a blue-haired man with a somewhat burly build, holding a trident.

These two were the God Realm's First-level Gods, the Sea God and the Asura God King, Asura God. Compared with the tall and imposing Sea God Poseidon, the Asura God appeared somewhat slimmer, though he was taller than Poseidon. A frigid aura formed from tangible Killing Intent surrounded him. His entire body was wrapped in Dark Red Magic Patterns, and Dark Red light circled around him. He wore armor covered in Dark Red Magic Patterns and possessed a pair of Blood Red eyes.

They should not have had any connection, yet the two of them had unexpectedly come together today. It was difficult not to suspect that they shared some secret.

"I never expected that, through a moment of carelessness, I allowed a strand of her Spiritual Sense to escape into the Lower Realm. The Angel God truly was the Angel God; her strength was exceptional. But... what a pity," the Asura God said.

"Lord Asura God, the Angel God refused a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty. Do not forget what you promised me," Sea God Poseidon said in a low voice.

"I have not forgotten. The Angel God did not know her place, so she has no one to blame but herself," the Asura God said indifferently.

Humans craved progress, while gods needed faith. Ten thousand years ago, the First Generation Angel God quelled the Evil Soul Master uprising and condensed the Angel Godhood through faith on Douluo Continent, ascending to the God Realm. The moment she entered the God Realm, the Angel God possessed strength second only to God Kings. She hated evil with a passion and dared to resist any injustice in the God Realm. First-level Gods such as the Sea God hated her bitterly, yet their strength was inferior to hers.

Furthermore, the Spirit Hall founded by the Angel God on Douluo Continent flourished. Power of Faith surged toward her like water swallowed by a whale, and she transformed all of it into strength, steadily increasing her power. Before long, she had reached a level sufficient to threaten God Kings.

Sea God Poseidon was so envious that he did not know what to say. After becoming the Sea God and unifying the oceans, the Sea God Island he founded still held a supreme position in the sea, but its Power of Faith had inevitably declined greatly. Moreover, groups led by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts such as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had gradually developed ambitions. They refused to submit to the Sea God's rule and grew increasingly rampant. In the God Realm, he had the will but lacked the power to intervene, and with the Asura God watching over him, he did not dare interfere with matters of the Lower Realm without permission.

Whether it was the Sea God or the Angel God, most of the energy they mobilized when passing down their Godhood came from the conversion of Power of Faith. The amount of Power of Faith a god possessed directly affected the foundational strength of their favored ones and inheritors.

Taking Douluo Continent as an example, among the several gods whose inheritances existed there, setting aside the second-level gods and considering only the four First-level Godhoods, the inheritors of the Angel God and Sea God, who had always possessed stable faith, had both received Godly Baptism many times. The Year Limit of their Soul Rings had increased enormously.

In contrast, the Asura God and Rakshasa God had no God-Bestowed Soul Rings and no benefits that raised Soul Ring Year Limits. If one wanted suitable Soul Rings, one had to find and hunt them personally. Other than allowing one to inherit their Godhood, they offered nothing else at all, forming a stark contrast with the other two.

Why was this the case? It involved how faith was reflected in reality. Both the Angel God and Sea God were gods of relatively positive attributes, with many followers, making it easier to accumulate Power of Faith. Thus, they could convert more divine power and grant more benefits. In contrast, the Asura God and Rakshasa God both leaned toward negative attributes. They might have certain advantages in combat power, but it was difficult for them to gain large numbers of followers. Even if they did have believers, most were only shallow believers, unable to accumulate much Power of Faith. Being able to activate their Godhood at all was already decent.

Thus, the difference between having Power of Faith and lacking Power of Faith was clear.

As time passed, even the Asura God noticed the tremendous changes occurring to the Angel God, and an unusual emotion spread within him.

At last, he could not help thinking, Since the Angel God can use Power of Faith to strengthen herself, why can't I? I remember that I seem to have an inheritance site on Douluo Continent as well. If that is the case...

One day, the Asura God approached the Angel God while she was cultivating to discuss something with her.

Looking at the dense Power of Faith radiating from the Angel God, the Asura God admitted that he was somewhat envious.

So he told the Angel God that he hoped to spread word of his inheritance location on Douluo Continent within a certain range, attracting people to increase their faith in the Asura God. He promised generous rewards in the future.

One had to know that the Asura God was the Enforcement God of the God Realm. Anyone who offended him would not have an easy time.

Yet the Angel God sternly refused. She said that she had only just managed to eradicate the scourge of Evil Soul Masters and would never allow it to rise again.

The two parted on bad terms, and the Asura God never mentioned the matter again. But Sea God Poseidon knew that his opportunity had arrived.
