Qian Daoliu: Qian Yu, how big is your ambition? The Qian Family's Twin Deities?

Bibi Dong looked at the high-spirited Qian Yu before her, her beautiful eyes shimmering with brilliance.

"Four continents... unifying the faith of the entire world."

Bibi Dong murmured softly, her tone filled with shock and admiration:

"Brother Yu, your schemes are something even the Great Grandmaster could never imagine. If that day truly comes, Martial Soul Hall will surely usher in an unprecedented era of glory."

Qian Yu turned around, cupped Bibi Dong's exquisite face in his hands, and said earnestly:

"It is not the glory of Martial Soul Hall, but our glory. Dong'er, once I ascend to godhood, I will certainly find a divine inheritance for you, and take you with me to the God Realm to be a true pair of immortal lovers."

In any case, Qian Yu would not let that madman, the Rakshasa God, find Bibi Dong.

Given Bibi Dong's aptitude, even without Qian Yu's help in the future, her chances of achieving godhood were very high.

Bibi Dong's eyes reddened, and she nodded heavily, her gaze becoming incomparably firm:

"Alright! For your sake, I will sit firmly on this Pope throne! I will sweep away all obstacles on the Douluo Continent for you and gather the power of faith for you!"

Qian Yu chuckled and pulled Bibi Dong into his embrace:

"No rush, one must eat one bite at a time. Let us first return to Martial Soul City and report the situation in Heaven Dou City to the teacher. Besides, I should also go to the Elder Hall to carefully select a group of trusted aides specifically responsible for sailing out to find new continents."

Bibi Dong leaned against Qian Yu's chest and replied softly:

"Mm, I will listen to everything you say."

The next morning, outside Heaven Dou City.

Dugu Bo brought Dugu Xin and walked quickly to stand before Qian Yu.

"Lord Qian Yu, Your Highness."

Dugu Bo bowed respectfully:

"This old man has brought my son, and the residence in Heaven Dou City has been vacated; we are ready to depart at any time."

Qian Yu nodded slightly and glanced at Dugu Xin.

Previously, Qian Yu had used a Fragrant Silk Tulip petal to suppress the toxins in Dugu Xin. Afterward, Dugu Bo had found a spirit bone for him to store the toxins. Now, Dugu Xin's condition had improved significantly.

"Since everything is arranged, let's board the carriage. The journey back to Martial Soul City is long; we can slowly regulate the residual toxins in your bodies along the way."

Dugu Bo's face showed gratitude, and he bowed deeply:

"Many thanks to you, Lord, for this grace of rebirth! From now on, this old man's life belongs to you!"

Qian Yu waved his hand and pulled Bibi Dong onto the lead carriage.

"Set off, return to Martial Soul City."

Martial Soul City.

Before the plaza of Martial Soul Hall.

Qian Yu was the first to step off the carriage, then turned to help Bibi Dong down.

"Dong'er, you take Dugu Bo and his son to the Pope Palace first, hand over the report on the situation in Heaven Dou City, and arrange a place for them to stay while you're at it."

Qian Yu instructed softly.

Bibi Dong nodded obediently and said in a gentle voice:

"Alright, and what about you?"

"I am going to the Worship Hall to see the teacher."

"Mm, go ahead."

The two parted ways in front of the plaza.

Bibi Dong led Dugu Bo and his son straight toward the Pope Palace.

Qian Yu, however, turned alone and headed toward the Worship Hall.

Inside the Worship Hall, a sacred and solemn atmosphere permeated the air.

Beneath the massive statue of the Angel God, a figure, aged yet upright, stood with hands clasped behind his back, waiting in silence.

"Teacher, I have returned."

Qian Yu stepped forward and bowed slightly.

Qian Daoliu slowly turned around, a rare look of gratification appearing on his majestic face:

"Yu'er, I have heard all about the events in Heaven Dou City.

To defeat both Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Tian—you have displayed the formidable prestige of our Martial Soul Hall. You have done exceptionally well."

Qian Yu's expression remained calm, and he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Teacher is too kind; it was merely an opportunity to establish our authority.

Beyond that, I have also recruited Dugu Bo into the Martial Soul Hall."

A flicker of surprise flashed through Qian Daoliu's eyes:

"Dugu Bo?

That Old Poison has always been unruly and defiant; even the two great empires could not win him over. You actually managed to make him submit?"

"I cured the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison afflicting him and his son, and incidentally helped him break through his Titled Douluo bottleneck. Naturally, he is willing to pledge his loyalty."

Qian Yu smiled faintly.

"Dugu Bo's ability in group combat is peerless under the heavens. If war breaks out in the future, he will be an excellent blade."

Qian Daoliu nodded in approval, but then frowned slightly:

"Yu'er, it is good that you have long-term vision.

But you have been too sharp and exposed this time; the two great empires and the Upper Three Sects will likely increase their precautions against you."

Qian Yu chuckled, his eyes turning sharp:

"What does it matter if they take precautions?

In the face of absolute strength, any precaution is futile.

Teacher, the reason I came to see you this time is to discuss the next phase of Martial Soul Hall's layout."

"Oh?"

Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow.

"Let me hear it."

Qian Yu looked directly into Qian Daoliu's eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Teacher, I wish to access all the top-secret files in the Worship Hall regarding ancient ruins and Soul Tool technology.

Additionally, I need your authorization to mobilize a portion of the Worship Hall's resources."

Qian Daoliu was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled:

"Soul Tool technology has long been lost, and those ancient ruins are mostly useless rubble.

Why go to such lengths to find these things?"

"To set sail."

Qian Yu answered without hesitation.

"Set sail?"

"Correct."

Qian Yu's gaze was burning, his tone resolute.

"Douluo Continent is too small.

I want to recover the lost Soul Tool technology, build massive ships capable of crossing the deep sea, and search for other continents on the other side of the ocean!"

Qian Daoliu's pupils constricted sharply, and he looked at the disciple he had watched grow up since childhood with a face full of shock:

"Other continents?

Yu'er, just how great... is your ambition?"

A wild, arrogant arc curled at the corners of Qian Yu's mouth as he spoke with resounding conviction:

"Teacher, my goal is to have the banner of the Martial Soul Hall planted in every corner of this world!"

The Worship Hall fell into a long silence.

Qian Daoliu watched his sharp-edged disciple in silence, complex light flickering in his eyes.

He knew very well that Qian Yu was unwilling to follow in his old footsteps.

He was unwilling to be trapped for a lifetime beneath the statue of the Angel God, serving only as a Great Pontiff who acted as a stepping stone for others while looking up to the divine.

What Qian Yu wanted was to become a god himself!

After a long while, Qian Daoliu exhaled a long, heavy breath, a genuine smile appearing on his majestic face.

As a teacher, not only did he not blame him, but he instead fully supported Qian Yu's decision.

After all, the position of Great Pontiff did not necessarily have to be succeeded by Qian Yu.

Once his own son, Qian Xunji, stepped down from the position of Pontiff in the future, it would be the same if he were to take over as the Great Pontiff.

But if Qian Yu could truly find a new path, successfully ignite the divine fire, and ascend to the godhood...

Wouldn't Martial Soul Hall, and even their Qian family, be able to possess two deities in the future?!

At this thought, a surge of burning heat rose in Qian Daoliu's heart.

"Good!

What a 'plant it in every corner of the world'!"

Qian Daoliu laughed aloud, his voice like a booming bell, echoing through the empty hall.

"Yu'er, to have such ambition, this teacher is deeply gratified!"

Qian Yu smiled slightly:

"So, does that mean Teacher agrees?"
