The Goddess of Life Comes Seeking Her Son, Qian Renxue Is Terrified

The Soul Hunting Forest returned to silence.

The dust slowly settled, and sunlight shone down once more.

Qian Renxue stood where she was, the phantom of the Six-Winged Angel behind her gradually fading away.

She raised her head and looked at the boy opposite her.

Gu Linyuan knelt on one knee, the Scepter of Destruction planted before him to support his swaying body.

His face was pale as paper, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His entire body trembled faintly.

That strike had drained all of his Soul Power.

Now, he did not even have the strength to stand.

Yet he still raised his head. His dark eyes calmly regarded Qian Renxue, carrying only a faint sense of composure.

"You're strong, but I'm not some soft persimmon you can squeeze whenever you please."

Gu Linyuan's voice was soft, yet perfectly clear.

Qian Renxue did not move.

She simply stood there, watching the boy who could barely remain upright. Complex emotions churned in her golden eyes.

"You..."

She opened her mouth, only to find her voice somewhat hoarse.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.

"What is your soul skill called?"

"Dragon-Snake Annihilation Slash." Gu Linyuan did not hide it.

"What was that power just now? Why did it possess such destructive force? What attribute does your Martial Soul have?"

Qian Renxue stared fixedly at the Scepter of Destruction in Gu Linyuan's hand.

Qian Renxue closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Her Six-Winged Angel possessed the holy and light attributes, both peak-tier attributes.

Yet she could sense that Gu Linyuan's scepter possessed an even higher-order attribute.

That attribute was no weaker than the Slaughter attribute!

Spirit Hall had dealt with the Capital of Slaughter for years, so Qian Renxue naturally understood the Slaughter attribute.

She also knew something else.

The Capital of Slaughter was an inheritance site belonging to a God King. That deity's status far exceeded that of the Angel God.

Could Gu Linyuan possess an inheritance at the God King level?

Not only that... If this scepter is a God-Given Martial Soul, how did he obtain one?

My Qian Clan has worshipped the Angel God for generations, leading believers in prayers for the Angel God, and only then did we obtain a God-Given Martial Soul like the Six-Winged Angel. How did Gu Linyuan manage it?

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes turned toward Gu Linyuan.

The deeper she thought, the more alarmed she became.

God-Given Martial Souls were extraordinarily rare.

The Qian Clan and the Angel God shared a mutually beneficial relationship.

Over the years, Spirit Hall's worshippers had provided the Angel God with considerable faith, and the Angel God had reciprocated by protecting the Qian Clan.

It could be said that the Qian Clan had paid no small price for everything it possessed today.

But what did Gu Linyuan have?

Moreover, what he possessed was a God-Given Martial Soul at the God King level!

"Sorry. No comment."

"Hmph. Even if you bear an inheritance at the God King level, don't think you can escape my grasp."

Qian Renxue snorted softly, a confident smile appearing on her face.

If Gu Linyuan merely bore an ordinary divine inheritance, she might have let him go in light of his performance just now.

But now, she could not let him go even more.

Qian Renxue no longer held back.

The phantom of the Six-Winged Angel behind her condensed until it seemed solid, while golden Soul Power surged forth like a tsunami.

She would take him back to Spirit Hall.

As for what happened after bringing him back, there would be plenty of time to slowly persuade him.

If she could subdue Gu Linyuan, would she still need to fear being unable to deal with Bibi Dong in the future?

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue smiled.

The golden Angel's Hand condensed once more, but this time, it was fully three times larger than before.

Its five fingers resembled five massive golden swords as they descended over Gu Linyuan.

This strike was enough to suppress any opponent below the Spirit King realm.

Gu Linyuan gripped the Scepter of Destruction, his expression grim.

However.

At that moment.

A gentle breeze swept past.

It carried an indescribable fragrance.

Qian Renxue's body suddenly stiffened.

It was not that she wanted to stop. She simply could not move.

The enormous Angel's Hand was less than a meter away from Gu Linyuan, yet it seemed to have been seized by an invisible hand, suspended motionless in midair.

Then, the five golden fingers began to crumble.

Scattered by the wind, they transformed into countless golden motes of light and vanished into the night sky.

Qian Renxue's eyes widened.

She wanted to struggle, to circulate her Soul Power, to unleash her soul skills.

To her horror, she discovered that her body no longer obeyed her at all.

She was not restrained, nor was she suppressed.

Rather, her body, her Martial Soul, and her soul had all collectively chosen submission at that very moment.

Like an ant facing a dragon, like a mortal facing a god.

It was an irresistible submission born from the instincts of life itself.

"Who is it?"

Qian Renxue spoke with difficulty, her voice trembling.

No one answered her.

Yet the surroundings suddenly became brighter.

A beam of green light descended from the heavens like a green Milky Way, enveloping the entire Soul Hunting Forest.

Within that green radiance, everything changed.

Withered grass turned green again, broken trees sprouted anew, and even the ground plowed apart by the Dragon-Snake Annihilation Slash began to produce tender green shoots.

Life!

It was boundless, inexhaustible life force!

It was as though the entire world had come alive at that moment.

Then, she appeared.

Her long green dress cascaded like a waterfall, its hem embroidered with faint vines and flowers.

With every step she took, green grass and blooming flowers appeared beneath her feet.

Her long hair was deep green, like the finest jade, falling to her waist and flowing with a soft luster beneath the moonlight. Her skin was so fair it was nearly translucent, with a faint green glow circulating beneath it.

Qian Renxue could not describe her features.

She had seen countless beauties, and she herself was hailed as Spirit Hall's rarest pearl in a thousand years.

But before this woman, all beauty became pale and insignificant.

It was not a difference in facial features, but a difference in essence.

Like the difference between a beauty in a painting and a living beauty.

One was merely a shell, while the other possessed an irreplicable beauty radiating from the depths of her soul.

Could there truly be such a perfect woman in this world?

Qian Renxue went completely numb.

Not out of fear, but because of an emotion she had never experienced before.

Inferiority.

This is a deity!

With a boom, Qian Renxue's entire body went limp.

She knew that any lifeform in the mortal world would have more or less some physical flaws. Yet the woman before her was flawless.

Only a goddess of the God Realm, purified of all mortal impurities, could be so immaculate.

She had always believed her own beauty to be peerless beneath the heavens.

There could absolutely be no woman on this continent capable of surpassing her so completely in beauty.

A deity!

Just what was Gu Linyuan's identity?

Why would a deity be willing to descend to the mortal world for him?

Even she, the Qian Clan's sole heir, had never received such treatment.

Qian Renxue had thought Gu Linyuan was merely fortunate enough to gain a deity's favor. Yet she had not expected him to be even more mysterious than she imagined.

"You little girl, how rude."

The woman in the green dress spoke. Her voice was like a clear mountain spring, like a spring breeze brushing over a lake—gentle, yet carrying a trace of reproach.

"Yuan'er already said he didn't want to go with you, yet you insist on forcing him."

Yuan'er?

Qian Renxue's mind went blank.

She knew Gu Linyuan?

Gu Linyuan was stunned as well.

He stared at the green-clad woman who had descended from the sky, his mind completely blank.

A deeper stir arose within his body, a tremor from the depths of his soul.

That feeling of blood connection instantly made him understand the woman's identity.

His eyes suddenly reddened.

There was no reason, no warning.

They simply reddened.

His lips trembled slightly as a form of address slipped from his mouth.

"Mom."

Those two words were soft.

Yet in the silent Soul Hunting Forest, they rang as clearly as a thunderclap.

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted sharply.

Mom?

This woman was Gu Linyuan's mother?

Gu Linyuan's mother was a deity from the God Realm? He was the Son of God? Then wouldn't Gu Linyuan's father be a god as well?

Both of Gu Linyuan's parents were gods, perhaps even God Kings!

With such status, even in the God Realm, no one would dare provoke them, right?

It was over!

Qian Renxue felt her vision go dark.

Why was her fate so miserable?

If she angered two God Kings, would she still have any chance of becoming a god?

Given Gu Linyuan's parents' status, a single word from them would likely make even the Angel God abandon her.
