Qian Renxue: Are You Serious?

Qian Renxue stared at the two vivid blood-red Soul Rings on Qin Tian's Martial Soul, her eyes filled with envy and amazement.

"Red Soul Rings? Those are Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings! No, wait, your Seventh Soul Ring is a much deeper shade, and it even has a golden pattern. That definitely isn't a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. What kind of Soul Ring is it?"

Hearing Qian Renxue's exclamation, Qin Tian looked quite pleased with himself.

"Heh heh!"

"Sister Xue, are you envious? Jealous? Do you want one?"

"These two Soul Rings of mine aren't Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings. They've long since surpassed that age."

"The Sixth Soul Ring is 150,000 years old, and the Seventh Soul Ring is 220,000 years old."

"Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings? Hmph! Compared to these, they're just..."

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Qian Renxue looked at him with confusion and puzzlement.

"Xiaotian, if I remember correctly, there aren't any Soul Beasts over a hundred thousand years old in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Where did your two Soul Rings come from?"

It wasn't that she'd never been to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Dugu Bo was stationed there, and there weren't any Soul Beasts around.

Dugu Bo had laid poison around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Any Soul Beasts that came near became nourishment for the poison, and none could enter the place itself. So where had Qin Tian gotten his two Soul Rings?

Hearing Qian Renxue's question, Qin Tian laughed, his face bright with a smile.

"Sister Xue, I had a great opportunity this time. I came across an incredible stroke of fortune."

Qian Renxue looked eager to know more.

Qin Tian gave a light cough, then spoke solemnly.

"Sister Xue, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone else."

"Xiaotian, just tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone."

Only after Qian Renxue promised did Qin Tian slowly begin, telling her all about his good fortune.

"Sister Xue, do you know what lies at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Qian Renxue shook her head. How could she know what was at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? She'd never been there. How would she know?

She hadn't dared to touch the energy contained in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire were beyond her abilities; even a Titled Douluo wouldn't dare stay there for long.

"Sister Xue, there are two dragon corpses at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"They aren't corpses of Sub-Dragons, but of true dragons—and not just any true dragons. They were Dragon Kings."

"They're the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King. They were so powerful that they stood at the peak of First-Level Gods, on par with the Angel God."

"The reason the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well exists is because of these two dragon corpses. The energy that seeped from their bodies after they died formed those strange springs, and the Immortal Herbs around them grew because of them."

At that, Qian Renxue knitted her brows, worry filling her eyes as she looked at Qin Tian.

"The Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King? Their corpses were at the peak of First-Level Gods. Could your two Soul Rings have come from them?"

Qin Tian shook his head slightly, then revealed his Second Martial Soul, the Qingtian War Halberd.

"Sister Xue, their Soul Rings are on my Second Martial Soul. These are their Soul Rings. They're God-Level Soul Rings."

When the two dazzling golden Soul Rings appeared, Qian Renxue blinked in disbelief.

She'd never seen a Golden Soul Ring before.

"Are these God-Level Soul Rings?"

"Golden Soul Rings... Are these the kind of Soul Rings only gods can have?"

"If the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's Soul Rings are on your Second Martial Soul, then how did you get them?"

Qian Renxue was even more baffled. At that moment, she simply couldn't understand how Qin Tian had obtained those two Soul Rings.

Qin Tian glanced at Qian Renxue, then spoke in a grave voice.

"Sister Xue, opportunity always comes with danger. If I hadn't had such a great stroke of fortune this time, I really would have died there."

"Although the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were dead, their dragon souls hadn't dispersed. When I entered the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they tried to possess me."

"Fortunately, the Evil God King had been watching over me for a long time and had chosen me as his successor. He killed the dragon souls of the Two Great Dragon Kings."

"As for their corpses, the Evil God King turned part of their origins into my Soul Rings and condensed another part into External Soul Bones, which fused into my body. The Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's Dragon Pearls were also fused into my body by the Evil God King."

"The Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King tried to steal a chicken, only to lose the rice they used to lure it. They didn't just get themselves killed for good—they made me stronger, too."

"Now I have two Divine Rings, two God-Level External Soul Bones, and the Dragon Pearls of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings."

"And the Sixth Soul Ring and Seventh Soul Ring on my First Martial Soul came from the Evil God King."

At this, Qin Tian looked at Qian Renxue, his expression solemn and grave, his voice low.

"I, Qin Tian, am the successor to the Evil God King!"

"Someday, I'll inherit the Evil God King's godhood and become the new Evil God King."

As Qian Renxue listened to Qin Tian's explanation, her brows furrowed, her teeth clenched, and her expression darkened—until, at last, the worry faded from her face.

"Xiaotian, are you saying you've already received a Godhood Inheritance?"

Qin Tian nodded firmly at Qian Renxue's question.

"Sister Xue, that's right. I've already received a Godhood Inheritance, and it isn't an ordinary one. It's the inheritance of a God King."

"The gods of the Divine Realm are divided into gods, Third-Level Gods, Second-Level Gods, First-Level Gods, and God Kings."

"In the vast Divine Realm, there are only five God Kings: the Evil God King, the Kindness God King, the Asura God King, the Destruction God King, and the Life God King."

"There are thirty-two First-Level Gods. The Angel God, worshipped by our Spirit Hall's ancestors, is one of them."

"The godhood I'm inheriting is that of the Evil God King. Even in the Divine Realm, he's one of the very highest-ranking beings."

"Moreover, the Evil God King is a primordial god. His godhood has never been passed on before. This is the first time, and I'm his successor."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue's face lit up with joy and excitement.

"Xiaotian, you're a God King's successor. That means our Spirit Hall has two godhood inheritances. Once we become gods, what force could possibly stand against us?"

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qin Tian recalled what the Evil God King had told him, and a trace of worry crept into his eyes.

"Sister Xue, the Evil God King told me that the Angel God, the ancestor of the Spirit Hall, is already dead."

"If you inherit the Angel God's godhood someday, I'm worried something unexpected might happen."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue looked utterly incredulous.

The Angel God was the ancestor of the Qian Family, the god they had always worshipped. And now Qin Tian was telling her that the god they believed in was dead. This...

"Xiaotian, is what you're saying true?"

Qin Tian nodded firmly. "Sister Xue, the Evil God King told me. I'm his successor, and he wouldn't lie to me about this."

He was also afraid that if Qian Renxue inherited the Angel God's godhood someday, another god might add something they shouldn't to the Angel Nine Trials, causing Qian Renxue to fail the inheritance—or...
