[Afterward, you launched the Heaven Dou Palace Coup as planned, intending to seize control of the empire.] [But at the critical moment, Tang San returned with the Tang Sect and the people of Shrek, ruining your plan. You were defeated by Tang San and had no choice but to flee back to Spirit Hall.] [The Heaven Dou Palace Coup failed!]
These events were largely the same as in the previous simulation. Qian Renxue quickly skimmed past them and focused on the changes that followed.
[On the eve of the battle at Jialing Pass, you began the Nine Trials of the Angel.] [Just as you had predicted, the Asura God had already tampered with your ninth trial, setting up a fatal heart-demon illusion.] [Just as you were trapped in the illusion and your divine soul was about to collapse, the sound of Mirror Shards shattering rang out.] [A beautiful woman in a silver bodysuit suddenly appeared within your spiritual sea. Her bearing was icy, and countless Mirror Shards floated around her.] [She called herself "Mirror."] [With a casual wave of her hand, Mirror turned countless shards into blades, instantly shredding the heart demon laid down by the Asura God. She helped you reforge your divine soul and resolve the crisis.] [With her help, you successfully broke through your bottleneck and became the Angel God!] [You wished to thank her and ask about her origins. But Mirror merely gave you a cold glance before turning into fragments and vanishing without a trace.] [You could not make sense of it, unable to understand why this powerful stranger had helped you.]
"Mirror?"
Qian Renxue was filled with shock.
That shameless Asura God really had played dirty. If not for the mysterious woman's help, she would likely have died in the inheritance grounds.
But... who exactly was this "Mirror"?
From the description, she seemed somewhat similar to those people from Jixia Academy.
Could she be from Jixia Academy?
But why would Jixia Academy help her?
Had they not refused her visit?
Qian Renxue felt as though her mind were a tangled mess, impossible to sort out.
[After becoming the Angel God, you joined forces with Bibi Dong, who had likewise become the Rakshasa God, at Jialing Pass.] [Although Tang San had become the Sea God by then, even as the Child of Destiny, he was powerless to turn the tide against the combined strength of you mother and daughter.] [You successfully killed Tang San, the Sea God!] [However, the nightmare had only just begun.] [Oscar and Ning Rongrong used a Martial Soul Fusion Skill and actually revived Tang San!] [After his revival, Tang San directly inherited the position of Asura God, attaining the dual divine positions rarely seen in ten thousand years!] [With the dual divine positions of Asura God and Sea God empowering him, Tang San's strength surged to an unimaginable level. Even you and Bibi Dong together were no match for him.]
"So he was revived again..."
Looking at those words, Qian Renxue felt nothing but numbness.
Kill him, and he came back to life. Come back to life, and he became stronger.
This Child of Destiny was like an inescapable piece of chewing gum, utterly revolting.
[At the final moment of the battle, Tang San, the Asura God, unleashed a fatal sword strike—Asura Judgment.] [That strike locked onto your divine soul. There was nowhere to dodge, and you could only close your eyes and await death.] [Just then, a purple figure stepped in front of you.] ["Pfft!"] [The Asura Demon Sword pierced through Bibi Dong's body, and blood dyed the sky red.] [Bibi Dong took that strike for you! She was gravely wounded, coughing blood without end as her divine position shattered.] [She turned around, used the last of her strength to push you away, and roared at you, "Run!"] [You were completely stunned. Staring blankly at the woman who had been incomparably cold toward you since childhood, even loathing you, you trembled as you asked, "Why?"] [Bibi Dong looked at you. The resentment and venom in her eyes had long vanished, leaving only a tenderness and relief never seen before.] [She reached out, wanting to touch your face, but her hand fell helplessly. In a soft voice, she said, "Xue'er... I am your mother, after all..."] [At that moment, tears streamed down your face, and the ice that had encased your heart for years instantly shattered.] [You were deeply moved and wanted to remain behind to die with her. But you knew that being moved was useless. Only by staying alive would there be hope for revenge.] [Reason ultimately overcame emotion. Covering your face as you wept, you turned into a streak of golden light and fled desperately toward the Extreme North.]
By this point, Qian Renxue was already in tears in reality.
The tears falling onto the desk blurred the ink.
"Mother..."
Her trembling hand reached out and stroked the cold line of text on the screen.
"You did have me in your heart..."
"I am your mother, after all."
Those words were like a heavy hammer, shattering all the resentment in Qian Renxue's heart.
That woman had not truly been made of stone. At the brink of life and death, she had still chosen to protect her daughter.
Perhaps my relationship with her truly should ease up a little.
Qian Renxue wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, and her gaze became resolute.
Now that she knew the future, she would never let this happen again!
[Gravely wounded, you fled to the Extreme North. With your divine power exhausted, you ultimately collapsed unconscious in the snow.] [When you awoke again, you found yourself in a warm room.] [It turned out that people from Jixia Academy had found you while you were unconscious and brought you back.] [A little girl named Cai Wenji sat by your bedside, treating you with a miraculous zither-based soul skill. Her medical skill was so astonishing that she forcibly dragged you back from the gates of death!] [You were within Jixia Academy, a place like a paradise beyond the world.] [However, the good times did not last.] [Just as your injuries began to improve, a sudden upheaval shook heaven and earth!] [Above the God Realm, five utterly terrifying divine lights tore through the heavens and shot straight toward the Extreme North.] [The divine light illuminated the entire continent, and countless living beings trembled beneath its pressure.] [Tang San appeared above Jixia Academy, wielding the Asura Demon Sword and leading the four God Kings of Kindness, Evil, Destruction, and Life, along with the gods of the God Realm.] [Only then did you realize that today was the Day of the Fallen Gods!] [Faced with the encirclement of the gods, an unseeable pillar of light rose from Jixia Academy.] [That dazzling figure, as radiant as the blazing sun, appeared once more.] [He stood in the void. His features could not be seen, but his presence was more majestic than the Five Great God Kings combined.] [Facing the gods and Buddhas filling the sky, he merely stood with his hands behind his back and calmly spoke a single sentence:] ["With the likes of you, you dare offend my Jixia Academy?!"] [The Divine Sound thundered across the continent. All the gods were terrified!] [Even from up close, you realized that you had still underestimated that majestic being.] [His cultivation had reached an unfathomably profound realm beyond your comprehension. Merely speaking one sentence, his voice boomed like thunder and contained the great power of words becoming law.] [Although you already possessed the cultivation of the Angel God, you still trembled all over before that aura, as though your soul had been frozen in an instant!]
