The Angel God Was Dead

God Realm, Asura God Temple.

The Asura God tapped the armrest of his throne, seemingly deep in thought. The water mirror before him had already vanished.

"Tang San had successfully reincarnated, but the plan has encountered an unexpected variable. This variable is powerful enough to have nearly taken shape, and he has Spirit Hall behind him. Ordinary methods are almost useless against him."

The Asura God had a headache. Ao Zhan, this unexpected variable from another world, was simply too powerful, and with Spirit Hall backing him, conventional means were ineffective against him.

In present-day Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall was the strongest force, and its greatest combat power was also within Spirit Hall. Although Tang Chen was still in Slaughter City, even if he emerged, he might not be able to defeat Ao Zhan. Not to mention that Qian Daoliu would not merely stand by and do nothing.

"Forget it. We'll follow the script for now and take things one step at a time. In any case, Spirit Hall no longer has a god, so there is still room to maneuver when it comes to god-level combat power."

The Asura God's gaze pierced through the Asura God Temple and landed upon a shrine containing a statue of a Six-Winged Angel.

The shrine was entirely gilded, radiating a dense aura of holiness and light. Yet the power within it was exceedingly dim and deathly still, making the entire shrine appear desolate.

Douluo Continent.

"The God Realm? That is your enemy, isn't it? Since when did it become mine?" Ao Zhan's eyes gleamed as he felt that Gu Yuena had not said this without reason.

Moreover, she was indeed right. The God Realm truly was their enemy.

Because the Asura God and the Sea God supported Tang San from behind, and Tang San was Spirit Hall's enemy, Spirit Hall would inevitably become Tang San's enemy. Therefore, once Tang San was defeated, the Asura God and Sea God would certainly intervene. Thus, to kill Tang San, they would need to become enemies of the God Realm.

But Gu Yuena should not know of Tang San's special nature. What gave her the confidence to believe that the God Realm would become their shared enemy?

Gu Yuena smiled. "Dragon Venerable, as far as I know, you have always stayed within Spirit Hall, which was founded ten thousand years ago by that Angel God. Have you noticed anything unusual about the statue that enshrines the Angel God?"

"Something unusual?" A trace of confusion flashed through Ao Zhan's eyes.

What was unusual about the Angel God Statue?

Was it not simply the medium through which the Qian Clan had worshipped the Angel God through generations?

If there was anything unusual about it, it was that when he had inspected it with the system before, he had discovered an enormous amount of Faith Power inside it.

"Wait, that's not right!"

Ao Zhan suddenly realized something. According to the information from the original work, the Angel God should have been a Faith God.

For a Faith God, Faith Power was the nourishment for cultivation.

Yet the Faith Power within that Angel God Statue was incomparably vast, seemingly the amount Spirit Hall had accumulated over all these years, untouched and unconsumed.

In other words, the Angel God had never taken any of the Faith Power within it?!

How could that be possible? How could a Faith God refuse the Faith Power of believers?!

Only two possibilities could explain it. One was that the Angel God had abandoned Spirit Hall and the Qian Clan, which was why she did not want it.

But the Six-Winged Angel martial soul, personally bestowed upon the Qian Clan by the Angel God, had continued to be inherited throughout all these years. How could the Angel God have abandoned the Qian Clan?

Then there was only the second possibility—

"It seems that you have already guessed it, Dragon Venerable. That's right. According to my observations, the Angel God has already fallen."

In an even tone, Gu Yuena revealed this information, enough to cause a massive upheaval within Spirit Hall.

After Ao Zhan's pupils sharply contracted, he asked, "How did you discover it? And why do you say that our enemies are the same? Could it be that the one who killed the Angel God was someone from the God Realm!?"

Gu Yuena said, "Since you know about the Dragon God War, Dragon Venerable, you should also know that I have always paid close attention to god-level combatants. I awoke when Poseidon and the Angel God, who ascended from the Douluo Plane, became gods."

"Among them, the Angel God even established her sanctuary beside Star Dou Forest, so I naturally paid more attention to Spirit City. However, one day, I discovered that the Angel Divine Power within Spirit City had become deathly stagnant. I then knew that something must have happened to the Angel God."

"And gods cannot die for no reason. Without external forces, gods will not die of old age. Therefore, the Angel God could only have been killed by someone else."

"When the Angel God ascended, I sensed her authorities: light, holiness, and judgment. But coincidentally, the Asura God, one of the Five Great God Kings, controlled the Trial Authority, which somewhat overlapped with the Judgment Authority. Therefore, there is a high probability that the Asura God was the one who acted. And only a God King could kill a First-Level God."

At this point, Gu Yuena revealed a breathtaking smile. "But one must pull out the roots to eliminate the grass. Therefore, Dragon Venerable, the Asura God will surely act against Spirit Hall in the future. You can only become his enemy as well, but becoming his enemy means becoming the enemy of the God Realm, because he is one of the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm."

"Besides, such a powerful Dragon Clan bloodline as yours will only draw the vigilance and killing intent of the gods of the God Realm. You and they are destined to be enemies in the future. So why can't we be allies?"

Ao Zhan remained silent. Everything Gu Yuena had said was well-founded, and the Angel God in the original work had indeed seemed dead. Otherwise, why would Poseidon have been able to broadcast the Angel God Trial live?

After pondering for a moment, Ao Zhan smiled. "Indeed, if that is the case, then we truly do share a common enemy. However, I cannot go to Star Dou Forest yet, because I still have an important matter to handle."

"What is it? If we can help, we certainly will," Gu Yuena immediately said.

Gu Yuena had finally found a perfect partner for cooperation, so she naturally did not mind offering help.

"Mm... that works, but there's no need to trouble you. Mr. Di Tian, could you accompany me to Spirit City?" Ao Zhan looked at Di Tian and extended an invitation.

"Di Tian, what do you think?" Gu Yuena also looked toward Di Tian, though he understood the implication behind her words.

The corners of Di Tian's mouth twitched. He had come this time to bring Ao Zhan to Star Dou Forest, so how had it become him following Ao Zhan to Spirit City instead?

Forget it. His master's orders could not be disobeyed.

In the end, Di Tian nodded and agreed.

"Good. Once I have finished what I need to do, I will go to Star Dou Forest." Ao Zhan looked at Gu Yuena as he spoke.

"Then I shall await your arrival in Star Dou Forest, Dragon Venerable."

After replying with cupped fists, Gu Yuena transformed back into a silver-white dragon scale shimmering with seven-colored light and flew into Di Tian's hand.

After Di Tian put it away, Ao Zhan said, "Now, come with me to Spirit City!"
