Background / History
Qian Daoliu serves as the Great Enshrinement of Martial Soul Hall and the guardian of the Angel God's inheritance. His duty is to safeguard the Angel God's divine position until a suitable inheritor ascends, a responsibility he considers more important than his own honor, Spirit Hall's fortunes, or the continent's wars. 254
He is Qian Renxue's grandfather and has long supported her position as the inheritor of Angel Divine Power. When Pufferfish Douluo reports Lin Jin's abilities and Renxue's interest in him, Qian Daoliu approves of Lin Jin as worthy of his granddaughter and asserts that Martial Soul Hall belongs to the Qian family. 133
During the conflict surrounding the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition, Qian Daoliu covertly has Qing Luan Douluo watch over Lin Jin's life-or-death trial, ensuring Bibi Dong cannot kill him. 143 He later warns Qian Renxue that Bibi Dong bears an evil divine power opposed to Angel Divine Power and urges Renxue to accelerate her divine trials. 158
After Bibi Dong exposes Qian Renxue's identity and endangers her position in Heaven Dou, Qian Daoliu confronts Bibi Dong directly. He condemns her for sacrificing her own daughter for her ambitions and places her under house arrest. 227 228
Qian Daoliu travels to Dou Ling Pass intending to remove Qian Renxue from the battlefield, but changes his decision when she refuses to abandon Heaven Dou and its people. He remains to support her defense and recognizes Lin Jin's resolve to protect both the pass and Qian Renxue. 233 234
When the allied army assaults Dou Ling Pass, Qian Daoliu uses his Ninth Soul Skill to annihilate more than one hundred thousand enemy soldiers, breaking the attackers' morale and forcing a retreat. 236 237 He later returns to Martial Soul Hall to suppress Bibi Dong after her power surges to Level 99, binding her with Angel Power chains. 239
Following Qian Renxue's sacrifice of her martial soul, Qian Daoliu accepts her new understanding of light and expresses that his greatest pride is having her as his granddaughter. He entrusts her future protection to Lin Jin. 252 253 He subsequently releases Bibi Dong from confinement after learning of Renxue's sacrifice. 262
