"Yu Hao, since you called me sister, I can't let you call me that for nothing."
"You came to hunt a soul beast. I'll help you."
Seeing Huo Yuhao get up to leave, Ye Guyi put on the enthusiastic expression they had discussed beforehand.
"Sister Guyi, I..."
Huo Yuhao instinctively wanted to refuse, but Ye Guyi stopped him.
"It's nothing. Just a hundred-year soul beast. It's no trouble at all."
"If you don't want to owe me, just grill more fish for me later."
"A-Que likes them!"
Ye Guyi left no room for refusal. According to what A-Que had said, Huo Yuhao at this point was very thin-skinned. He valued his dignity, yet was deeply insecure. While helping him, it was best to mention something he could do in return. That way, he could accept with greater peace of mind.
"Thank you, Sister Guyi!"
Hearing Ye Guyi's words, Huo Yuhao was moved, and his eyes even reddened slightly.
In the end, he still lacked the courage to refuse.
Though he had never seen a soul beast before, he still knew how powerful they were.
"That's right, little Yu Hao. We'll go hunt soul beasts with you too."
"It's on the way anyway!"
The moment Tang Ya heard that helping hunt a soul beast could earn her grilled fish, she immediately perked up and hurriedly chimed in.
Having already accepted Sister Guyi's help, Huo Yuhao did not awkwardly refuse Tang Ya this time.
As for Bei Bei, he had no objections at all.
Ning Que looked thoroughly uninterested.
He had no intention of recruiting Huo Yuhao, this child of destiny, nor did he intend to deliberately make things difficult for him.
People said Huo Yuhao was absurdly overpowered, but Ning Que thought he was merely average.
The advantages Huo Yuhao possessed were absolutely top-tier on Douluo Planet, but compared to the God Realm, they were nothing special.
They looked exaggerated, but their upper limit was right there.
Compared to the advantages Tang San, Tang Wulin, and Lan Xuanyu had, they were hardly worth mentioning.
Leaving aside Tang San's Tang Sect Unique Skills, he also had an overpowered father protecting him from behind and a god helping him without limits. Just the inheritance of the Asura God King, directly transferred through a divine trial, was an advantage Huo Yuhao could never compare to.
Did Tang Wulin truly suffer that much?
Every crisis he faced could be quietly resolved, while every villain opposing him was laughably shallow and stupid...
He could grow stronger simply by working hard and risking his life. Countless people wanted that, while many others worked hard and gained nothing at all.
His suffering was nothing more than an illusion!
The Golden Lama sealed inside his body alone was something none of Huo Yuhao's many opportunities could compare with.
As for Lan Xuanyu, there was even less need to mention him.
Other than certain opportunities and resources, Ning Que had no conflict with Huo Yuhao.
There had even once been a time when he watched Huo Yuhao gradually grow up. It was only later, when Huo Yuhao strayed onto the wrong path, that he gave up watching any further.
In this era, it would be difficult for him to create a god!
He could only exploit loopholes, use Huo Yuhao as the obvious target, secretly accumulate strength, and wait for the right moment. Only then would there be a sliver of hope for success.
At that moment, Ning Que was considering something. Now that he had successfully intercepted him, it was time to arrange a god-level opponent for Guyi.
Only by killing a god-level fallen one could Ye Guyi restore the glory of the Angel Clan.
That opponent was not difficult to choose: Ye Xishui, the boss of the Holy Spirit Cult.
A lesser Bibi Dong.
The problem was, how could he make her become god-level?
Or rather, how could he make her find the inheritance of the former Rakshasa God?
Slaughter City had been destroyed. Both the Asura God King's and Rakshasa God's inheritance paths had been severed. The Rakshasa God position had returned to the God Realm and remained vacant, while the Rakshasa Secret Realm had become a mystery.
How difficult would it be to open the Rakshasa God's inheritance?
But it was not impossible. With the guidance of the Angel Divine Sword, they could still find some clues.
He knew the process was extremely dangerous. One careless step could end up empowering the enemy and lead to disaster, but this was the most crucial step in restoring the Angel Clan's glory.
No matter how dangerous it was, they had to try!
As they traveled, they casually killed a ten-year Wind Baboon.
Just then, a powerful wave of spiritual force suddenly pressed down from between heaven and earth.
Faced with that crushing pressure, Bei Bei and Tang Ya fainted on the spot, while Ning Que and Ye Guyi were not greatly affected.
The reason was simple: it had to do with their head soul bones.
Ning Que's head soul bone came from a 190,000-year Green-Eyed Golden Crystal Beast, a gemstone-type soul beast.
It possessed powerful spiritual and holy attributes.
To be honest, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had gone to great lengths to obtain that skull soul bone, gathering intelligence everywhere before finally acquiring it.
As for whether they had engaged in forced purchases, robbery, or murder during the process, Ning Que did not know the details, but he could roughly guess.
As one who benefited from it, he would not judge whether it was right or wrong. Nor was he qualified to do so.
The strong preyed on the weak. It was simply survival of the fittest.
There was no such thing as purely good or evil. Though he tried his best to raise Ye Guyi toward holiness, radiance, and utmost kindness and beauty, he himself never claimed to be a good person.
He could even say without hesitation that he was a petty man who exploited opportunities, a demon intent on overturning the world and bringing calamity upon all living beings.
The head soul bone Ye Guyi possessed, meanwhile, was the very head soul bone once owned by the Angel God Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue had indeed been weak; that was undeniable. But she had truly benefited from her era and reached the god-level.
Her entire Angel soul bone set consisted of 99,999-year soul bones. After fully fusing them, they would all evolve into Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones. Through her divine trials, Qian Renxue had then elevated them into god-level soul bones.
Obtaining Qian Renxue's legacy had involved a great deal of luck as well.
The successive heads of the Angel Clan's descendants had passed down a legend by word of mouth: before the Angel God disappeared, she had left them an enormous treasure. Yet despite generations of searching, none had found it.
Back then, Ning Que had merely decided to give it a try. He mobilized the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's resources to search, and they had actually succeeded.
As for why Ye Guyi had not obtained all this in the original story, perhaps it was because her parents had been killed by Evil Soul Masters before they could tell her.
Qian Renxue's legacy was simple: an entire set of god-level soul bones, a divine artifact, the Angel Clan's meditation method, the shattered divine cores she had collected, and a final letter.
Only after that brainless fool had been completely defeated did she belatedly realize that other gods had tampered with her divine trials.
She had only met Tang San a few times and merely thought he was talented enough to recruit. So why, not long after accepting her divine trial, had she inexplicably fallen for him?
She held back at every turn, ultimately causing everything in Spirit Hall to be destroyed.
She hated herself and tried every possible way to start over, yet never succeeded.
She never married and never left behind any descendants.
Judging from what she wrote in her final letter, Ning Que guessed that Ye Guyi's Holy Angel martial soul contained a fragment of the Angel God's shattered divine core. That was why killing Evil Soul Masters allowed her to grow stronger.
By fusing with the Angel God Set, gathering every shattered divine core fragment and restoring them, then using the Angel Holy Sword as a guide to open the Angel Temple, she could regain the Angel God position in the Suspended God Realm.
That was why Ning Que had conceived the idea of creating a god.
But would Tang San simply stand by and watch?
Besides, Qian Renxue's soul had already completely scattered. She could no longer offer them any help.
At the time, Ning Que had even hoped that, as a god, she might at least use her final strength to give him a god-level martial soul.
With a god-level head soul bone, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual power could not affect Ye Guyi at all.
They did not stop the million-year soul beast Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice, because neither of them could. Neither was a spiritual-type soul master.
At that moment, the sky suddenly changed. Dark clouds rolled as a powerful force began to surge.
"With the sun and moon in hand, I pluck the stars. There has never been anyone like me in this world. I never expected this old man to retain a trace of his remnant soul..."
Seeing this change, Ye Guyi revealed her martial soul at Ning Que's signal and summoned the Gold of Life from her Sea of Consciousness.
"A holy, radiant aura, and you possess the Gold of Life as well..."
"Fine, fine. This old man won't fight you, little worm, for territory."
Feeling a power more compatible with himself, Electrolux immediately changed direction and plunged directly into Ye Guyi's Sea of Consciousness.
"It worked!"
Ye Guyi and Ning Que exchanged glances, and both saw wild joy in each other's eyes.
