Watching Tang Chen lead the people of the Upper Three Sects away in such a disheveled state, Qian Daoliu turned around and exchanged a glance with Qian Xunji.
Subsequently, the two of them looked at Qian Yu simultaneously, casting a meaningful gaze toward him.
They then flew off toward the Worship Hall together.
Qian Yu understood the implication; without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated his Six-Winged Seraphim avatar and followed.
Qian Yu was very clear in his heart.
The sudden surge of Angel God power that had just poured into his body was definitely suspicious.
It was highly likely related to the Angel God.
Could it be that the Angel God Trial is about to begin?
Qian Yu pondered to himself.
Every heir of the Angel clan would trigger the Angel God Trial.
It was up to the Angel God to decide how many trials to bestow.
Back when Qian Daoliu had taken him to the Angel God Statue, it had actually lit up with the radiance symbolizing eight trials.
However, it had ultimately failed to initiate.
Qian Daoliu had speculated that the time simply wasn't right yet.
Could it be that he was finally able to start the God Trial now?
Although it is only eight trials, being able to rapidly increase my strength through the God Trial is not bad at all.
Qian Yu said to himself.
Bibi Dong stood not far away; she was sensible enough to stop in her tracks and did not follow them.
Before long, Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji, and Qian Yu arrived at the Worship Hall.
In the center of the grand hall, the massive Angel God Statue stood silently, emitting a soft and sacred golden radiance.
The three of them arrived beneath the statue and came to a halt.
Qian Daoliu turned around, looking at Qian Yu with a gentle gaze, and was the first to break the silence:
"Yu'er, how did that feel just now?"
Qian Yu bowed slightly and answered truthfully:
"Extremely comfortable.
The moment the Angel God power poured into my body, it made my blood boil.
Even my Six-Winged Seraphim martial soul began to tremble."
"This divine power is indeed vast and unfathomable."
Qian Xunji smiled with gratification from the side:
"It is good that you understand.
However, this is also thanks to your Six-Winged Seraphim martial soul being perfectly compatible with the Angel God power, allowing you to withstand that force in an instant.
If it were anyone else, even a Titled Douluo, they would have had their meridians ruptured by the divine power if caught unprepared."
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, looking up at the towering Angel God Statue, and said in a deep voice:
"Using the divine power to establish our prestige today was a move of necessity, but it was also perfectly timed.
That old fellow Tang Chen is suspicious by nature; the 'absolute strength' you displayed today is enough to make him and the Upper Three Sects wary and afraid to act rashly for a long time to come."
"You might also be curious and confused.
But what I want to say is this.
Tang Chen's strength is not inferior to mine.
Although I could hold him off and let others take care of Yu Yuanzhen, Tang Tian, and Han Yu, allowing us to completely wipe out the Upper Three Sects, my Martial Soul Hall would also suffer heavy losses. After all, this is happening right above our Martial Soul City.
For me, stability is everything.
With you and Dong'er here, the future of my Martial Soul Hall will surely flourish.
By then, these so-called Upper Three Sects will naturally be vulnerable to a single blow!"
Qian Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he said solemnly:
"Rest assured, Teacher, I understand.
Divine power is, after all, an external force; today was merely for the sake of deterrence."
"I will raise my soul power as quickly as possible, so that I may soon possess the strength to truly crush them."
"Good!"
Qian Xunji patted Qian Yu on the shoulder, his eyes filled with admiration:
"Neither arrogant nor impetuous—this is the future hope of our Martial Soul Hall.
After this battle, the Upper Three Sects have suffered a major blow to their vitality and must cede thirty percent of their resources.
Next, it is time for the comprehensive expansion of our Martial Soul Hall."
No sooner had Qian Xunji finished speaking than Qian Daoliu turned around, facing the massive Angel God Statue in the center of the great hall.
His originally majestic face was now filled with incomparable piety and reverence.
Seeing this, Qian Xunji's expression turned solemn, and he knelt on one knee without hesitation, bowing his head respectfully.
"Yu'er, release your Seraphim Martial Soul."
Qian Daoliu spoke in a low and solemn voice.
"Yes, Grandfather."
Qian Yu did not hesitate; with a thought, a dazzling golden light erupted from his body instantly.
Six wings burning with sacred flames unfurled violently behind his back.
Seeing Qian Yu undergo Martial Soul Possession, Qian Daoliu folded his hands over his chest, looked up at the statue with devotion, and called out loudly:
"O Great God of Angels!
Your servant stands here to pray for your descent!
Please bestow the divine trials that belong to your most outstanding bloodline!"
As Qian Daoliu's call fell, the previously still Angel God Statue suddenly began to tremble violently!
"Hum--!"
A beam of light, brilliant to the extreme, shot out from the center of the statue's brow, instantly enveloping Qian Yu entirely.
Immediately after, eight dazzling curtains of light appeared around the statue, circling and intertwining in mid-air as if they were tangible.
Finally, they transformed into eight brilliant golden streams of light, one after another, merging into the center of Qian Yu's brow.
As the light gradually dissipated, an Angelic Mark emitting a faint golden glow appeared on Qian Yu's forehead.
Qian Xunji looked up abruptly, staring at the mark with eyes full of excitement:
"Eight golden lights... it really is the Eight Angelic Trials!"
Qian Daoliu could not hide his own excitement either; he stepped forward quickly and asked Qian Yu:
"Yu'er, how do you feel?
The divine trials have finally truly begun!"
Qian Yu slowly opened his eyes, feeling the vast information that had appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:
"Teacher, Senior Brother, it is indeed the Eight Angelic Trials.
Moreover, the content of my first trial has already appeared."
Hearing this, a trace of concern flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes, and he asked hurriedly:
"Yu'er, what is the content of the first trial?
How difficult is it?"
Qian Yu carefully sensed the information in his mind, his expression revealing a hint of peculiarity:
"Teacher, the difficulty of the first trial is not high.
It only requires me to meditate and cultivate under the Angelic Holy Light for one year, and during that time, my soul power must increase by three levels."
"So simple?"
Qian Xunji was stunned, his face full of surprise:
"Junior Brother, this is the Eight Trials!
When Teacher underwent the divine trials back then, every single one was a brush with death.
How is it that when it comes to you, the difficulty is so ordinary?"
Qian Daoliu also frowned slightly, his face showing confusion.
Qian Yu looked at the two of them, chuckled, and explained:
"Teacher, Senior Brother, my divine trials are indeed different from what Teacher experienced back then.
Just now, when the divine trials were bestowed, the God of Angels left a thought in my mind.
He believes that my Seraphim Martial Soul has infinite potential and is highly likely to break through level one hundred in the future, to become the new God of Angels in the form of a Seraphim!"
"The new God of Angels?!"
Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji both exclaimed in shock, exchanging a glance as they saw the same wild joy and astonishment reflected in each other's eyes.
Qian Yu nodded and continued:
"Precisely because of this, the Eight Trials of the Angel God were never meant to make things difficult for me or to test me.
The difficulty of these trials is quite ordinary; their true purpose is to pave the path for me to become a god."
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath, forcing down the agitation in his heart:
"Paving the path?
Then what are the rewards for these god trials..."
