During the half-month that Shangguan Li inherited her divine position, the Dourol Continent also underwent earth-shaking changes.
When Shangguan Li returned to the mainland, she saw flames of war raging across it. I never expected that in just half a month, the Douro Continent would already be at war.
The rapid progress of the Douro Continent truly shocked Shangguan Li. I just hope Shaohua is alright.
Ya Li said, "Little Hua will definitely be fine, seeing as his strength isn't weak either, right?"
"That's right, Master shouldn't worry too much."
Shangguan Li nodded; anyway, they were returning immediately.
After a mere moment, the three of them returned home once again.
Shaohua said happily, "You're finally back."
"We're back. How has Heaven Dou City been these past half-months? Have Ning Rongrong and Tang San made any major moves?"
"They have. You don't know that after you left, Tang San and Ning Rongrong had a not-so-small dispute, which was only cleverly defused by Ning Fengzhi. However, those two are no longer as thick as thieves as they used to be."
"Why? Ning Rongrong should still have something that Tang San needs, right? Is Tang San really willing to alienate Ning Rongrong, or quarrel with her and stop approaching her like that?"
Shangguan Li was very puzzled. Tang San was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals; it was impossible for him to quarrel with Ning Rongrong over a tiny matter.
"You really are smart. Ning Rongrong seemed to have anticipated Tang San's thoughts in advance, so she laid the current situation out on the table for Tang San ahead of time." Shaohua wore a look of satisfaction.
Shangguan Li said, "So Tang San stopped putting on an act with Ning Rongrong and started confronting her. Although it all makes a lot of sense, I still feel like something is a bit strange about the steps they took."
Then Shangguan Li suddenly thought of what the God of Destruction had said to her when she was on Sea God Island. "That's right, I already know that the divine position on Ning Rongrong is called the Rakshasa God."
"The Rakshasa God? I remember that's the divine position of that pope. How did it fall onto Ning Rongrong?"
Shangguan Li said helplessly, "I don't know either; the God of Destruction told me. Moreover, the Rakshasa God no longer exists; the Rakshasa God was devoured by Wuxie, and both the person and the divine position vanished."
"But Ning Rongrong still possesses the aura of a god, doesn't she? Could it be..."
"That's right, Ning Rongrong might be a trap set for you by Wuxie. Therefore, you must not provoke her or test her-what if you accidentally suffer a backlash?"
Shaohua was very confident. "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'm extremely practiced with this sort of thing. The ray of light you saw this morning must have been emitted when you inherited your divine position. Congratulations, truly."
"You're too kind. If your power recovers, you'll definitely be stronger than me." Shangguan Li wasn't boasting, because the plane where Shaohua had lived in his previous life was at a higher level than the Douro Continent.
From the memories the Goddess of Life had passed on to Shangguan Li, she knew that the person named Shaohua whom the Goddess of Life had accidentally run into in another plane back then was indeed the very Shaohua before her eyes now.
In the eyes of the Goddess of Life, Shaohua at that time was an unfathomable entity. It was simply that because the Goddess of Life had a mission to carry out, she had to leave that plane early to complete it, and she had never seen Shaohua again since then.
Therefore, Shangguan Li knew that Shaohua's strength was a hundred or a thousand times stronger than he himself claimed, yet even now, Shaohua had not recovered his power. This also indirectly illustrated a point: the strength Shaohua lost in that sealing incident was by no means small.
Shaohua was also very modest. "How could I be as powerful as you describe? Right now is just a period of weakness."
"Relying on that power, have you still not recovered?"
This was what puzzled Shangguan Li greatly. The system's power exceeded the common sense of this world, yet even with its help he hadn't recovered his strength-just how massive was Shaohua's loss?
Shaohua also revealed an embarrassed expression. It wasn't that the system's power couldn't help him recover his strength, but rather that Shaohua's own system had also suffered not-so-minor damage.
After Shaohua sealed Wuxie in his previous life, Shaohua's soul had actually been infected by Wuxie's power. To help him purge this harmful energy and successfully help him reincarnate, the system consumed a large amount of its own energy, causing the current system to have failed to fully recover as well.
The system in Shaohua's mouth right now was merely the automatic auxiliary function of the God of Cookery System; the true God of Cookery System had long since fallen into slumber, and could only wake up again once its energy was sufficient.
"It's inconvenient for me to talk to you about this kind of thing, after all..."
Shangguan Li understood very well, as she was also unwilling to talk to others about matters concerning her own system; after all, this was her own secret.
"Let's not talk about this matter. Just what kind of dispute do Ning Rongrong and Tang San have? Have you looked into this?"
Shaohua nodded. "Naturally. It's because of those people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; Tang San still hoped Ning Rongrong would transfer those people into his sect, but Ning Rongrong firmly refused this matter."
"Just because of this matter, didn't they already argue that night?" Shangguan Li didn't understand, since they had clearly already disputed it. If she were Tang San, she should have endured it, then seized the opportunity to find the weaknesses of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect before swallowing both sects in one go.
Shaohua was also speechless. "Yeah, just because of this matter, they kept arguing endlessly. Then, to keep the two of them from continuing to bicker, Ning Fengzhi conceded those people to the Tang Sect."
"And then Ning Rongrong refused to accept it, and quarreled with Ning Fengzhi and Tang San."
Shaohua nodded, and the words Shangguan Li picked up with were entirely correct. "I really don't understand what the two of them are arguing about. They clearly both have a common enemy-shouldn't they join forces to deal with a more powerful enemy?"
"Are you talking about Spirit Hall? That person from Spirit Hall is probably about to become a god, too." Shangguan Li looked in the direction of Spirit Hall, a trace of restlessness unexpectedly rising in her heart.
Shaohua looked at Shangguan Li in disbelief. "You're talking about Qian Renxue. How could he become a god so quickly? Could it be that the Divine Realm pulled strings for him?"
It truly was the Divine Realm pulling strings for the Angel God, but Shangguan Li would not say these words out loud.
"Who knows? Anyway, that's what the God of Destruction told me. However, once Qian Renxue becomes a god, it's going to be troublesome. He confessed his feelings to me before, and I completely don't want to accept him-what if he pesters me endlessly?"
Shangguan Li was very distressed, yet she didn't know what to do about it. Speaking of this person Qian Renxue, Shangguan Li didn't actually dislike him; in fact, she even liked him somewhat.
However, this liking was not the affection between a man and a woman, but rather a sense of sympathy reflected onto the current Qian Renxue from the ending of the original Qian Renxue. Even though he was a boy now, whenever Shangguan Li saw him, she couldn't help but recall the ending of the original Qian Renxue.
Regarding the matter of Qian Renxue confessing to her, she was actually somewhat troubled. Because Shangguan Li didn't like him at all, agreeing to his confession would be an irresponsible attitude.
Yet if she refused, it would be easy to see this man pestering her relentlessly.
