I Refuse! They're All Living Happily Together! Why Am I the Only One Suffering, Qian Daoliu?!
On the arena.
Without Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, the remaining members of the Shrek Seven Devils—Liu Erlong and Flender—didn't exactly seem like the brains of the group.
That meant the responsibility of guessing the answer fell to Dai Mubai.
"Boss Dai, what do you think the answer is?" Oscar never took responsibility, always tossing the hard questions to someone else.
But Dai Mubai didn't know a damn thing. Scratching his head, he said helplessly:
"How would I know what the answer is?"
"I've never even heard of this Qian Daoliu."
"Fatty, you're usually full of clever ideas. Hurry up and tell us what you think the answer is."
With everyone nudging him, Ma Hongjun rubbed his nose and said:
"Boss Dai, you're always like this. Whenever you get a difficult question, you clam up."
"In the end, it's still up to me, the genius with an IQ of 250."
"According to my analysis, Qian Daoliu's status was about the same as Tang Chen's and Bo Saixi's. He might even have been some kind of deity's Elder, so his ending should be similar."
"Think about it. There are legends about this Angel God on Douluo Continent too, right?"
"According to the rumors, the Angel God became a deity by slaying the Fallen Ones and protecting peace on Douluo Continent."
"So the Angel God must be a good person."
"The Sea God was selfish enough to send Bo Saixi to the World After God's Death. Would an Angel God like this really just stand by and do nothing?"
"In my opinion, Qian Daoliu's ending should be much the same. He'd also go to the World After God's Death!"
"Oh?" Dai Mubai mulled it over as he listened.
"You make some sense."
"I didn't expect you to know the legends about the Angel God, Fatty."
Ma Hongjun chuckled.
"After all, my Phoenix has wings too."
"Back then, I didn't know how to deal with my Evil Fire, so I thought that if I found a wife and had kids, maybe one of them would be born without the flaw that caused the Evil Fire."
"And if I was going to find a wife, I'd definitely look for one with wings!"
"So you went after a Soul Master with a chicken Martial Soul?" Oscar chimed in.
Ma Hongjun waved a hand.
"What chicken? These days, everyone calls it a Kun."
"No, would I really marry a Kun? What I had in mind back then was an Angel Martial Soul!"
"But later, I found out that only heirs of Spirit Hall could have an Angel Martial Soul. I figured I had no chance, so I didn't dare dream about it."
"I see." Oscar chuckled. "At least you know your place."
"Fine, Boss Dai. Let's put down the same answer too."
The others agreed and entered answers similar to the ones they'd given before.
Pope Palace.
When Bibi Dong saw the question, her face lit up again, and she looked utterly confident.
"Great! As expected, this question is about whether Qian Daoliu lives or dies."
"Song Ye made such wild guesses on the first two questions and got them right. There's no reason I should get this one wrong."
"This time, I'll put down that Qian Daoliu went to the World After God's Death..."
"No. To be safe, I'll just copy Song Ye! I'll say Qian Daoliu becomes a god!"
"If I give the exact same answer as Song Ye, there's no way he'll get it right and I'll get it wrong again!"
After speaking, Bibi Dong couldn't help sneaking another look at Song Ye.
She realized she was acting strangely. She was the Pope of Spirit Hall, yet she'd started constantly peeking at Song Ye like some perverted woman.
Bibi Dong reassured herself. "It's fine, it's fine. I'm only doing this to answer the question."
After entering her answer, she quietly waited for the Light Screen in the sky to reveal the correct one.
Worship Hall.
Seeing the question, Qian Daoliu relaxed a little too.
"Since the question and the introduction are the same, and the three of us have roughly the same status, strength, and standing, there's no reason our endings should be different."
"Although I've made some mistakes over the years, I've remained loyal to the Angel God."
"The Angel God is the God of Goodness. Surely, for Xiao Xue's sake, she wouldn't let me die such a miserable death."
"Then let's all put down the same answer!"
He reminded Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others as well.
The Elders all responded happily. Their big brother would live forever, which was a good thing too.
Heaven Dou Empire.
Crown Prince's Bedchamber.
When Qian Renxue saw this question, she paid it little attention at first.
She'd tried answering questions before but had never gotten one right, which had left her a little frustrated.
Now, though, the question had turned to her grandfather.
Qian Renxue frowned anxiously, but still analyzed the situation.
"In the future, I'm destined to become the Angel God!"
"Even if there really is a rule requiring an Elder to sacrifice himself, like with Bo Saixi, surely the previous Angel God would spare my grandfather for my sake, as the new Angel God?"
Qian Renxue's guess wasn't unreasonable.
They'd both be Angel Gods in the future. The other person was a lower-ranking one, while she'd be the higher-ranking one.
Would it really be so hard to do her a favor?
The Sea God had been willing to spare Bo Saixi and the others. The Angel God's reputation was even better than the Sea God's.
Qian Renxue nodded and finally entered her answer.
In fact, most people had guessed the same thing.
The Angel God did have a good reputation on Douluo Continent. A just and kind god might well do something kind in the end.
But a guess was one thing, and reality was another.
Just as Qian Renxue entered her answer and waited quietly,
she, Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, the Shrek Seven Devils, and the others all waited together.
A moment later, the answer appeared, and everyone was stunned.
Inside the Light Screen.
This time, the answer wasn't that he entered the World After God's Death.
[Correct Answer: He was judged and executed as a sacrifice to help the next Angel God ascend to godhood!] [Winner: Song Ye!] [Reward: First Soul Ring lifespan increased by 300 years!]
No one could have expected this answer.
How could this be?
They were all priests or Elders, and their strength was roughly the same. The Angel God even had the better reputation.
So why did Bo Saixi survive while Qian Daoliu had to die?
This—this didn't make sense!
Pope Palace.
Bibi Dong was the first to react!
Seeing this, her pupils instantly contracted.
"No, impossible!"
"Why did I get it wrong again? Wasn't I supposed to get it right just by entering 'becomes a god'?!"
Once Bibi Dong came to her senses, she turned straight to Song Ye. By now, she could barely contain her emotions.
She pointed at Song Ye and snapped:
"Song Ye, you said you weren't cheating!"
"Why did I get the wrong answer even though I entered the same answer as you?!"
"Don't tell me you said they became gods on the first two questions, but just happened to give a different answer this third time!"
Song Ye said awkwardly, "Pope, you're right. I really didn't put that."
"Then you still claim there's nothing wrong with you?!" Bibi Dong grew even angrier.
"If there's nothing wrong with you, why did you just happen not to say they became gods this third time?!"
"Song Ye, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll dissect you!"
Song Ye was speechless. This crazy woman really was crazy.
He said helplessly, "Pope, weren't you the one who told me that priests and Elders couldn't become gods?"
"I didn't know before, so I couldn't help it. But now that you've told me, would I still put down that Qian Daoliu became a god? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"Of course I said he died..."
"Pope, you're the one who told me all this."
"Don't tell me you're saying that you told me the inside story so I'd get the answer right, but you knew the inside information yourself and still got it wrong?"
