Qian Renxue: Imagine how nice it would be if Bo Saixi were my grandmother
Heaven Dou Royal Academy
In the quiet dormitory, the fragrance of sandalwood wafted through the air, yet it couldn't suppress the almost stagnant sense of absurdity in the atmosphere.
"My grandfather back then..."
"That's quite pitiful..."
Qian Renxue's slender fingertips caressed the celadon teacup, a mixture of amusement and exasperation on her face.
Even his eyes revealed an unprecedented sense of strangeness and astonishment...
She grew up under Qian Daoliu's wing, and in her mind, her grandfather was the embodiment of light in this world, the undisputed pinnacle.
Logically speaking...
Surely no one will refuse him!
But it wasn't until she read Lin Sheng's diary that she realized...
It turns out that Qian Daoliu was once rejected so firmly by someone...
"Grandpa... was he really this humble back then?"
Qian Renxue murmured to herself.
His tone not only expressed sympathy for Qian Daoliu, but also a kind of inexplicable resentment towards Bo Saixi.
In what way is Tang Chen better than his grandfather?
In her view, Qian Daoliu was Angel God, invincible in the sky in terms of strength, and extraordinary in appearance.
In what way is he inferior to Tang Chen, who only knows how to smash things around with a big iron sledgehammer?
Bo Saixi's famous line, "Whoever becomes a god, chooses him..."
They're treating two unparalleled geniuses like monkeys!
"These words were like reopening Grandpa's wounds; Grandpa was destined never to become a god..."
But Bo Saixi used that as a reason to reject him.
"But the result of your choice of Tang Chen... hehe..."
Qian Renxue sneered.
One spent her entire life as a widow on Sea God Island, the other completely lost herself...
Even now, Qian Daoliu still harbors resentment about what happened back then.
"They're so blind..."
Qian Renxue couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"Rather than sending Tang Chen to his death, you might as well choose my grandfather. At least he can be with you until old age. Maybe... you're still my grandmother now."
Thinking of this outrageous possibility, Qian Renxue's expression became increasingly unnatural.
"Never mind..."
"That possibility is too strange..."
But soon, her attention was drawn to the deeper darkness revealed in the diary.
[Diary continues...]
[In fact, Tang Chen's downfall, on the surface, is a tragedy of love, but in reality, it is the result of a power struggle between the gods...]
[Many might wonder how Tang Chen, Level 99 Limit Douluo, could so easily lose his mind? This inevitably brings us to the power struggle among the top forces on the Douluo Continent.]
[The Sea God, the Angel God, the Asura God, Rakshasa God are arguably the only four gods to participate in the struggle of this era, and also the four gods to engage in the final battle of this era.]
[Tang Chen was indeed exceptionally talented and possessed immense abilities. He even single-handedly located the Asura God's inheritance site, the Slaughter City. If nothing unexpected had happened, he should have become the current Asura God.]
[The Asura God is the enforcer of the Divine Realm, the pinnacle of combat power. The problem is, that hellish place Slaughter City, not only presents the Asura God's trials, but also retains the divine will of the Rakshasa God.]
[What is the attribute of the Rakshasa God? It is synonymous with evil, resentment, and filth; she and the Asura God are inherently incompatible.]
Just as Tang Chen was about to Asura the Eighth Trial of the Asura God and achieve his goal, the remnant evil thoughts of the Rakshasa God directly corrupted the Asura God's test...
[As a result, Tang Chen, the strongest warrior on land, suffered a qi deviation during the assessment, and his mind was taken over by the vile being Nine-Headed Bat King of Hell.]
[The once mighty Tang Chen has vanished, replaced by a puppet lurking in the shadows of the Slaughter City, indulging in Blood Mary every day— the King of Slaughter!]
Spirit City, Pope Hall.
Bibi Dong was originally gathering her Soul Power, comprehending the newly acquired Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
Upon seeing this text, her Soul Power almost instantly reversed.
"The King of Slaughter... is actually Tang Chen?!"
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply, and her breathing became extremely heavy.
She had entered the Slaughter City in order to obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain, and had even witnessed firsthand the eerie powerhouse sitting on the throne of bones...
At that moment, she only felt that the other person's aura was unfathomable and filled with chaos.
But to everyone's surprise, beneath that physical body lay the parasite of the Clear Sky Sect...
Tang Chen!
"The Rakshasa God is actually involved in this?"
What chilled her to the bone even more was that it involved the methods of the Rakshasa God.
She is now inheriting the Rakshasa Godhood.
Could it be that I, too, will eventually be controlled by the power of the Rakshasa God, like Tang Chen, and become... a freak who has lost himself?
"The divine... legend..."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, the anger of being manipulated by fate welling up in her heart again.
Even the most powerful Peerless Douluo.
Even they become utterly vulnerable before this force!
Sea God Island, atop the temple.
"Clang--!"
The Sea God Scepter slammed heavily onto the jade floor, making a loud clanging sound.
Bo Saixi's once pristine and serene face was now soaked with tears.
She slumped onto the priest's seat, her chest heaving violently.
"It's all because of me... it really is because of me..."
She always thought that Tang Chen couldn't let go of that promise, and that his pride prevented him from coming back.
She had complained countless times in the dead of night about his stubbornness.
Complaining about his heartlessness...
But now, the truth, like a hooked blade, has pierced her heart.
It was because of her ambiguous test that Tang Chen was forced to search for the divine position; it was because she did not directly reveal her true feelings.
That's why he risked everything for the so-called godhood, ultimately becoming a parasitic, mindless King of Slaughter!
"The Slaughter City... The King of Slaughter..."
Bo Saixi suddenly stood up.
Its body exploded with blue-gold light, instantly creating giant waves hundreds of meters high in the sea surrounding Sea God Island.
"Boom--!"
"I'm going to find him! I don't care about the Sea God or the duties of the high priest!"
"Tang Chen... even if I, Bo Saixi, overturn the entire Slaughter City, I will bring you home!"
Bo Saixi suddenly appeared in the sky!
Ignoring the terrified cries of the Sacred Pillar Guardian around her, she transformed into a dazzling stream of azure light, tearing through the void and hurtling towards the Slaughter City on the continent!
"Boom--!"
Sea Dragon, Sea Horse Douluo, and the others who came running from below looked at each other in bewilderment...
Damn it!
Where have you been again?!
Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
Gu Yuena slowly opened her purple dragon eyes, her gaze devoid of any human emotion, only a coldness as vast as an ancient glacier.
"The successor of the Asura God, huh...?"
Her slender fingers gently traced the surface of the water, her voice icy. "Even if you've lost yourself, as long as that body still exists..."
"As long as the Asura God Sword remains in his hands, he will always be the greatest potential threat to the Soul Beast Clan."
Gu Yuena even wanted to...
Go and get the Asura Sword!
