Workers of the World, Unite! Qian Renxue Becomes a Worker!
"What?"
Hearing Gu Changge's words, Qian Renxue could no longer remain calm.
In her twenty-odd years of life,
her father had died, and her mother had never loved her.
Only her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had sincerely loved her and cherished her like the apple of his eye.
But now, from what Gu Changge was saying,
her grandfather would die too.
"How is that possible?"
"My grandfather is a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo!"
"Even Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Douluo known as the strongest in the world, could only narrowly defeat my grandfather by one move!"
"How could he possibly die?"
Gu Changge looked at her as if she were an idiot. "In your fate, you became a god in the future, yet your ending was still miserable. Your grandfather isn't even a god—he's merely a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo. Why can't he die?"
As he spoke, Gu Changge continued, "Forget it, I'll give you one more piece of information for free. Your grandfather's time of death will be ten years from now. And he'll die because of you. Although you won't kill him yourself, it's not much different."
""
"As for the more specific details, that will depend on your choice!"
"I don't like being a bad guy, but I don't like being a good guy either!"
"The reason I told you all that earlier was because I felt sorry for you!"
"But my main goal was to recruit you to work for me!"
"So now, it's time for you to make your choice."
Listening to Gu Changge's words,
then seeing that look on his face, as though he had her completely figured out,
Qian Renxue was so angry that she wanted to punch him. "If I refuse, will you give up on recruiting me?"
"No!"
Gu Changge decisively shook his head. "I've wasted so much breath and told you so many secrets. If you're still unwilling to do a little work for me, then if I don't teach you a lesson and make you properly understand what it means to return a favor, wouldn't I be taking a huge loss?"
When people were speechless, they really could laugh.
Qian Renxue was practically amused by his shameless words.
"Since you've already planned everything out, what's the point of saying all this?"
"You make it sound like I still have a choice!"
Gu Changge shook his head. "That's different. If you agree willingly, it means you're a polite person who knows how to repay kindness. If you don't, it proves you have no manners and are an ungrateful wretch. The treatment those two kinds of people receive from me is worlds apart!"
You really arranged that nicely!
Qian Renxue said helplessly, "Then let me make it clear. I agree. I'm willing to work for you. Now, Duke Iris, can you tell me what exactly will happen to my grandfather?"
"Although your motives aren't pure,"
Gu Changge commented while eating grilled skewers, "since you agreed, you're one of us now. Don't worry, I'll save your grandfather's life!"
"As for the cause of death in his predetermined fate!"
"It's simple. He dies to help you become a god."
"You know Bo Saixi, the high priestess of Sea God Island, who is also a Limit Douluo like your grandfather and Tang Chen, right?"
Qian Renxue nodded. "Yes, Grandfather mentioned her before!"
"Your grandfather is in the same situation as her. Both are guardians of Divine Thrones!"
Gu Changge said, "Of course, rather than calling them Divine Throne guardians, I prefer to call them sacrifices!"
"Because the meaning of their existence is to serve the inheritors of gods, helping them pass their god trials and inherit Divine Thrones!"
"During the inheritance process of a Divine Throne, at the final step!"
"A vast amount of energy must be expended to send the Divine Throne's inheritor to the place of inheritance."
"And your grandfather and Bo Saixi are the ones who provide that energy!"
"And the way they provide it is by burning themselves away and sacrificing everything!"
"In the fate originally set for you and your grandfather,"
"when you passed the Angel God Trial and reached the final step, your grandfather burned himself up and offered himself as a sacrifice, allowing you to take that final step and become the new Angel God!"
As Gu Changge's words fell,
Qian Renxue felt as though the air itself had frozen.
Her face turned as white as paper, and her body swayed unsteadily.
So this was how Grandfather would die.
"Then according to what you're saying, if I don't inherit the Angel God Position, my grandfather will be fine?"
Qian Renxue raised her head and stared directly at Gu Changge.
Gu Changge nodded. "That's right!"
Hearing that, Qian Renxue immediately let out a long breath. "If becoming a god means trading my grandfather's life for it, then I don't want this damned Divine Throne!"
Gu Changge was not surprised by this.
Given Qian Renxue's life and experiences,
whether here or in the original story,
if she had been able to choose,
her answer would not have changed.
In the original story, the reason she became a god
was entirely because Qian Daoliu had never told her any of this.
Only when she reached the final stage of becoming a god
and saw Qian Daoliu sacrifice himself
did she understand everything.
But by then, the sacrifice had already begun.
Even if she knew, it was already too late.
"Chang Ge, I have a question!"
At that moment, Ye Lingling, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke with a frown.
She looked at Qian Renxue. "If the Crown Prince—forget it, I'll just call you Sister Xue!"
"If, in Sister Xue's predetermined fate, she had already become a god,"
"then how did she lose in the end?"
"And Chang Ge, you said earlier that Sister Xue's mother, that Pope, had also begun the Rakshasa God Trial."
"If I'm not mistaken, she should have successfully become the Rakshasa God in the end!"
"Although Chang Ge said before that the Rakshasa God and the Angel God are opposing existences!"
"But if that Pope blocked a fatal blow for Sister Xue at the final moment, using her own life in exchange for Sister Xue's survival,"
"then that proves the two of them were not fighting each other at the end!"
Ye Lingling calmly analyzed the matter with clear logic, getting straight to the point. "They joined forces against other enemies."
"But they had both become gods. The ones fighting them should have been gods too, right?"
"And it must have taken at least two gods to push them to that point, right?"
Faced with Ye Lingling's question and calm analysis,
everyone, including Qian Renxue,
gathered around curiously.
Hearing this,
Gu Changge affectionately rubbed Ye Lingling's head.
His little wife was truly brilliant.
"Lingling, you're way too smart!"
Dugu Yan was also filled with admiration for Ye Lingling. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed."
As she spoke, she turned to Gu Changge. "Is Lingling's analysis correct? Will other gods really appear in the future?"
