Your Power Is Mine to Decide

In the Sky Screen arena, Qian Renxue was still struggling.

Her temporarily acquired Rank 99 power began to dissipate as her emotions violently fluctuated. Golden light started gathering around her, seemingly preparing to teleport her out of the arena.

Gardevoir gave her one final look. A faint glimmer flashed through her red eyes as an even more concealed, direct mental message reached the deepest part of Qian Renxue's soul. It was a more tempting and threatening "deal" conveyed through her by Lu Feng:

"Will you continue being a puppet of the God Realm, watching those you cherish die for you until everything comes to nothing? Or will you seize this chance and lead Spirit Hall into a new era belonging to the Pokemon World—one even the gods cannot fully control... The choice is yours."

Qian Renxue suddenly opened her eyes in the next instant and stared at the Shiny Gardevoir in the distance in stunned disbelief.

"Were those words just now... true?"

Meanwhile, Mega Gardevoir watched Qian Renxue lose control of her emotions and waver in her faith. A faint glint of triumph flickered through her blood-red eyes.

She slowly raised her hand, not to attack, but extended the blue "gloved" hand toward Qian Renxue as though inviting her.

A cool female voice echoed in Qian Renxue's mind. "Believe it or not."

As soon as she spoke, Gardevoir unleashed Psychic.

Already tormented by the mental attacks of Nightmare and Future Sight, Qian Renxue faced this Psychic.

Her mind went blank, and she lost consciousness and collapsed. The battle was over.

Golden light completely enveloped Qian Renxue and carried her away from the arena.

There was no verdict of victory or defeat, only an eerie silence. The people of Douluo Continent were getting used to it.

This time, the Pokemon World had not used any disgusting tactics.

It had simply crushed its opponent through overwhelming mental power.

Still, among all those ranked on the list, Qian Renxue had made one of the most dignified exits.

From that perspective, suffering a mental assault might not have been such a bad thing.

When Qian Renxue returned, Qian Daoliu and the others hurried forward to check her condition. Only after confirming that she was merely unconscious and otherwise unharmed did they breathe a sigh of relief.

God Realm, Angel God Temple.

Furious divine will swept through the temple like a storm!

Not only had Qian Daoliu and the other priests failed to complete their mission, they had actually dared to openly argue through the consciousness link and even insult a god with mortal words! This was no longer incompetence—it was blasphemy!

No matter how she explained herself, those people refused to believe her. They simply believed she wanted to harm them.

"You ungrateful, rebellious, arrogant insects!" The Angel God's figure, shrouded in holy light, trembled slightly. Her voice was icy to the bone, devoid of even the slightest expectation for the lower realm.

"Since you insist on your own depravity, you are unworthy of bearing my Divine Power! Everything I bestowed shall be reclaimed! I will no longer interfere in the affairs of Douluo!"

An ultimate Divine Oracle filled with the will to strip away, purify, and sever descended. Carrying a reclaiming force far colder and crueler than before, it violently tore through the barrier between realms and charged toward Douluo Continent!

This time, the target was not merely the Divine Power within Qian Daoliu. It was to completely sever Qian Renxue's connection to her Divine Trial, reclaim every foundation granted by the gods, and erase every trace of the Angel inheritance within Spirit Hall! This was utter abandonment and cleansing!

Qian Daoliu and the others were still shaken by Qian Renxue's return when they suddenly felt an irresistible will of deprivation descend from the heavens!

The Angel Divine Power that had once brought them strength and glory now became merciless blades scraping their bones. It sought not only to draw away their power, but to uproot their Martial Soul Origin and even the foundation of the Divine Position forming within Qian Renxue, reclaiming everything completely!

"Can a god truly be so heartless?!" Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes nearly split apart, while Xiongshi and the others wore equally miserable expressions.

They were not afraid of dying in battle. But being casually discarded like trash by the one who had granted them power—and having their very foundations crushed—destroyed the last trace of reverence they held for the God Realm.

Qian Daoliu could feel the faint inheritance connection between himself and his granddaughter being forcibly pulled apart, about to snap. The light of the Divine Position condensing within Qian Renxue also became unstable and dim!

If it succeeded, Qian Renxue would not only lose all hope of becoming a god, but might have her foundation utterly destroyed or even perish from the backlash!

"No!" Qian Daoliu let out a desperate roar and tried to burn his remnant soul in resistance, but how feeble was a mortal's struggle before true divine might?

Just at this critical moment, when the inheritance was about to be severed and Spirit Hall's core leadership was about to be completely crippled—

An even more dazzling golden light tore through the void, completely driving away the Angel Divine Power sent down by the god.

A gentle yet irresistible force, as though born from the primordial chaos and Creation Power at the beginning of the world, silently seeped into the space shrouded by the Divine Oracle. The flow of time and laws stagnated ever so slightly.

Lu Feng had made his move.

He did not directly confront the reclaiming Divine Oracle. Instead, like the most skilled surgeon, he transformed his Power of Creation into the finest scalpel, cutting in reverse along the oracle's stripping trajectory to take over and alter the core laws of sacrifice and inheritance!

"You want to reclaim it? A mere First-Level God dares act so brazenly before me? Your power is mine to decide."

A vast voice, calm to the point of near indifference, rang directly within Qian Daoliu's soul and the minds of everyone linked by Angel Divine Power.

In the next moment, Qian Daoliu felt the terrifying suction force stripping away his and his granddaughter's power abruptly change in nature!

It no longer destroyed. Instead, in a profound and unfathomable manner, it began to guide and transform everything within him.

The Soul Power he had cultivated throughout his life, the origin mark of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and the authorization channel linked to the Angel God Position—these powers were forcibly stripped of their status as "reclaimed items." Following the new "ritual logic" established by Lu Feng, they began flowing, converging, and reconstructing themselves in Qian Renxue's direction!

"This feeling... the Angel Ninth Trial! The Grand High Priest's sacrifice?"

Qian Daoliu stared at Lu Feng in astonishment. If he had not confirmed that the Angel God was female,

he might have mistaken Lu Feng for the Angel God, seeing as he could forcibly activate the Angel Nine Trials.

"Qian Daoliu, make the sacrifice." Lu Feng's voice was like a decree of law. "Offer your Martial Soul and cultivation as the key and fuel to unlock the inheritance. Forcefully seize the Angel God Position from the God Realm and bring it down to the lower realm. But I will preserve your life and will."

This was the sacrifice of the Angel Nine Trials.

But under Lu Feng's intervention, the price of this sacrifice had been replaced!

They would use the mechanism of the Nine Trials to become a god, forcibly seize the Angel God Position from the God Realm, and incorporate it into the Pokemon World.

After the Rakshasa God and her inheritor had both been abducted, the Angel God had clearly learned her lesson and did not descend to the lower realm herself.

However, it was of no use.

Lu Feng had prepared for this long ago. As he had said before—

"Past causes bring present consequences. You inherited the Light God Position, so why did you have to play around with the priest-sacrifice path?"

Under the influence of the Power of Creation, the sacrificer's life and soul were no longer needed. Only his power and "qualification" were required as the medium!
