Xuantian Sect

"I accept this alliance."

Silver Dragon King looked at Qian Chongling solemnly; between the recovery of her own injuries and the addition of a future God King, this was an alliance she had to accept regardless of the circumstances.

"Hahaha, excellent! It should be this way. Let those hypocritical gods in the God Realm experience the resolve of a stray dog."

Qian Chongling laughed loudly as he looked at Silver Dragon King, his eyes filled with nothing but hatred and killing intent toward the God Realm.

"However, since we are now allies, could I ask Your Excellency Silver Dragon King to take on a human form? After all, it wouldn't be good if this giant dragon shape scared this little girl."

"Very well. Although my true form is more beneficial for healing, now that I have this girl, that minor benefit is negligible."

As Silver Dragon King spoke, a burst of silvery-white light erupted from her body. As the light dissipated, a graceful and charming figure appeared before the eyes of Qian Chongling and Qian Ningshuang.

She was about one meter seventy-five tall, with long silver hair and a figure as if sculpted by the heavens—flawless, with skin like ice and bones like jade. Her face was as beautiful as a celestial being, and her pair of purple eyes were filled with an indescribable sense of mystery and nobility.

"My name is Gu Yuena."

The silver-haired beauty introduced herself; it was clearly inappropriate to keep using the title of Silver Dragon King between allies.

"Little girl, what about you? What is your name?"

Gu Yuena looked toward Qian Ningshuang.

"Qian Ningshuang."

Looking at the peerlessly beautiful Gu Yuena, Qian Ningshuang maintained her well-behaved appearance.

What did it matter if she was peerlessly beautiful when she was an existence capable of crushing her, Qian Ningshuang, into meat paste with a single slap?

She truly didn't know how big-hearted those transmigrator predecessors were to still be thinking about romancing Gu Yuena under such circumstances.

Although, this Gu Yuena, whom many in her past life ranked as the number one beauty of Douluo Continent, was indeed very beautiful.

"Then, I shall call you Shuang'er."

Gu Yuena was quite willing to build a rapport with a future God King.

"Oh, oh, as you wish."

Since Qian Ningshuang's age from her past and present lives combined probably didn't even add up to a fraction of the other party's, she naturally let Gu Yuena call her whatever she pleased.

Seeing that Qian Ningshuang was clearly still in a state of fear, Gu Yuena temporarily extinguished the idea of building rapport, deciding to let her adapt for a while. She then looked at Qian Chongling, who was still floating in the air.

"By the way, what exactly is Shuang'er's origin? How did Mr. Qian Chongling find Shuang'er back then?"

"I am not sure. Shuang'er's appearance was entirely an accident. After I escaped from the God Realm, I fell into a deep slumber. If it hadn't been for being influenced by Shuang'er, I might have slept forever until the destruction of Wuhun Hall. By the time I woke up, Shuang'er had already appeared before me."

Qian Chongling shook his head.

The bracelet he had used to hide and sleep in was worn by Qian Xunji at the time. After being awakened by Qian Ningshuang's influence, the first thing he saw was his severely injured descendant and, not far away, Qian Ningshuang, who was clearly only just born. At that time, he had Qian Xunji bring Qian Ningshuang back to Wuhun Hall and had Qian Daoliu bestow the surname Qian upon her.

As for Qian Ningshuang's origins and why her martial soul was so powerful that it could influence him, Qian Chongling, the moment she was born, he didn't really care; as long as she could help him take revenge on the God Realm, that was enough.

"I see."

Gu Yuena was only asking; she hadn't expected to actually learn of Qian Ningshuang's origins. A martial soul powerful to that degree was indeed not something they could investigate.

"As allies, Mr. Qian Chongling, who has stayed in the God Realm, should already know about my origins and experiences. What about you, Mr. Qian Chongling? What exactly did you encounter in the God Realm to end up in this state?"

Gu Yuena asked another question.

"That is a long story. Miss Gu Yuena should know about the relationship between Wuhun Hall and the Angel God, right?"

Qian Chongling didn't mind recounting his experiences, or rather, the pain of his life.

Perhaps because she hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, Gu Yuena immediately opened the floodgates upon hearing Qian Chongling mention Wuhun Hall and the Angel God.

"Yes, I am very clear on that. The Angel God, one of the few humans the Star Dou Forest should be grateful to. Ten thousand years ago, the Evil Soul Master sect—Xuantian Sect—ran rampant across the continent with their unique soul power cultivation methods, numerous self-created soul skills, and many inexplicable weapons. They made the entire human world miserable, and the Star Dou Forest also suffered greatly at the time. That group of Evil Soul Masters would kill the soul beast clans of the Star Dou Forest one by one just to obtain soul bones. At that time, we, the various fierce beasts of Star Dou, could not intervene due to the restrictions of the God Realm and could only watch helplessly as the Star Dou Forest grew smaller and smaller."

"All of this changed until the Angel God emerged, leading the humans oppressed by the Xuantian Sect—including a portion of the soul beasts from the Star Dou Forest—through decades of struggle, making the Xuantian Sect and the Evil Soul Masters a thing of the past. After the Angel God ascended, the soul beasts returned to the Star Dou Forest, and her human followers established Wuhun Hall as an organization to manage human soul masters and prevent the resurgence of Evil Soul Masters. It also served as a place to promote the Angel faith and as the site for the inheritance of the Angel God position."

"Ah!"

Following Gu Yuena's narration, Qian Ningshuang let out a cry of surprise. Xuantian Sect, numerous self-created soul skills, inexplicable weapons—how did these factors combined sound so much like a certain "pure and innocent" Third Brother?

"What is it, Shuang'er?"

Both Qian Chongling and Gu Yuena looked at Qian Ningshuang.

"Nothing, I just didn't expect my Wuhun Hall to have such an origin. It's just, Ancestor Qian Chongling, why haven't I seen any records of this Xuantian Sect in Wuhun Hall?"

Qian Chongling stroked his beard. Since Qian Ningshuang had been cautious from the start, it was rare for her to ask a question, so he had to properly educate this future pillar of their resistance against the God Realm.

"It is complicated why Wuhun Hall does not record anything related to the Xuantian Sect. Perhaps they were blinded by hatred; of course, it is also possible that the Xuantian Sect committed too many evils. In the two thousand years after the Xuantian Sect was eliminated, not only Evil Soul Masters, but any sect or person with self-created soul skills, and even industries related to forging—anything with factors similar to the Xuantian Sect—were frantically destroyed and boycotted by the normal soul masters of that time."

"And in this kind of overcorrection and madness, the role played by my Wuhun Hall was not very honorable."

Qian Ningshuang was speechless. To be able to drive normal soul masters to such madness, and to stay mad for two thousand years—just how much did people hate this Xuantian Sect?

However, some of the questions from her past life were also answered. For example, why people in Douluo seemed to have never seen crossbows, and why they almost entirely relied on soul skills to fight, with only the Tang family being smart enough to create their own skills—the root of it all was here.

Two thousand years of slaughter and boycotts meant that even if later generations didn't record this history, certain behavioral habits would be passed down. For instance, very few people would try to create their own soul skills, and very few would try to develop new types of weapons.
