Martial Soul Hall's Black and White

Ouyang Kong frowned as he watched the Sky Screen reveal that the Angel God had fallen, lost in deep thought.

He remembered that the original plot never disclosed the whereabouts of the Angel God, but because she never made an appearance, many speculated that she had already perished.

As for how she fell, opinions varied wildly; because Sea God Poseidon had interfered with the Angel God's trials, many guessed that her demise was linked to him.

But speculation remained just that—speculation—and no one truly knew what had happened to the Angel God.

Today, however, he would finally see what the Sky Screen had to say.

The scroll of the Sky Screen slowly unfurled, and a woman who bore a seventy-percent resemblance to Qian Renxue appeared upon it; this was none other than the First Angel God.

She had used her own strength to banish evil, establish a church, and protect the lands.

As time passed, the number of people protected by the Angel God grew, and so did the number of those who worshipped her.

She improved the cultivation methods for spirit masters, providing them with a concrete path to follow.

More and more spirit masters grew in strength, becoming her vassals and spreading her faith.

Ultimately, the First Angel God successfully condensed her godhood through the power of faith, achieving the status of the Angel God.

After attaining her divine position, the First Angel God protected the continent for a century before ascending to the God Realm.

The church she left behind continued to develop, eventually becoming the Martial Soul Hall of the present day.

For the most part, Martial Soul Hall had lived up to the First Angel God's convictions, taking the eradication of evil as its own duty.

The Sky Screen immediately updated to show scenes of Martial Soul Hall's Enforcement Squads clashing with the fallen.

Countless fallen ones who committed atrocities and wantonly harmed civilians were hunted down by the Enforcement Squads, led by members of the Qian family who possessed the Angel spirit.

Even if they could not be completely eradicated, these fallen ones were driven into the natural prison known as Slaughter City.

Because Martial Soul Hall never boasted about these deeds, many people simply took this stability for granted.

They remained unaware that this peace existed only because others were shouldering the burden in the shadows.

The Sky Screen continued to update, the image freezing on a low-level deacon of Martial Soul Hall walking along a narrow, winding path.

He had traveled for half a day to reach a remote village to awaken the spirits of the children there for free.

One must understand that even without Innate Soul Power, there were still benefits to awakening one's spirit.

Perhaps awakening spirits for children had become an obligation for Martial Soul Hall, but was it truly just an obligation?

The events exposed by the Sky Screen gave people pause, forcing them to consider whether they had taken the contributions of Martial Soul Hall for granted.

The Enforcement Squads of Martial Soul Hall, along with those deacons who truly did the hard work—seeing the Sky Screen's recognition of them, they felt a sense of relief.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other elders of Martial Soul Hall felt their crumbling faith begin to mend.

They believed not only in the deity that was the Angel God, but also in that same will; even if the Angel God had fallen, her will would not be severed.

Furthermore, Martial Soul Hall still retained the inheritance of the Angel God, and those who came after still had the chance to succeed to her divine position.

Tang Chen paid no mind to the updates regarding Martial Soul Hall; he only wanted to leave the Asura God inheritance within the Clear Sky Sect.

Only if a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect inherited the position of the Asura God could the sect take revenge against Martial Soul Hall.

He was not like Qian Daoliu; if given the chance, he would certainly order them to cut the weeds and dig up the roots, never giving his opponents a chance to rise again.

Tang Chen and Tang Hao returned to the Clear Sky Sect, where Tang Xiao, along with the five great elders and a host of disciples, came out to greet them.

Tang Chen's return left everyone in the Clear Sky Sect exceptionally stirred.

Tang Chen, however, kept only the two brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, and dismissed everyone else.

"Grandfather..."

"Listen to me first; I have less than three days left..."

"What? I will go find a healing spirit master immediately!"

"It is useless; I know my own body best. This is the Asura Divine Sword, which represents the inheritance of the Asura God.

I hope that after I am gone, someone can inherit the legacy of the Asura God and surely attain the godhood, so as to lead the Clear Sky Sect out of its current predicament.

You two brothers have the best chance, especially you, Hao'er!"

"I..."

"Say no more for now; both you and I need to make preparations."

Leaving Tang Chen to rest alone, Tang Xiao said to Tang Hao, "Brother Hao, do not worry; there is still a way."

"What way?"

"The reward from the Sky Screen is actually a resurrection item. I had intended to use it on Ah Yin, but it seems this item was meant for Grandfather. I can only apologize to you and Ah Yin!"

"No, Big Brother, you are right. I believe Ah Yin will understand."

Tang Xiao patted Tang Hao on the shoulder, displaying the image of deep brotherly affection.

At this moment, the Sky Screen continued to update, revealing the dark side of Martial Soul Hall.

Many bishops of Martial Soul Hall colluded with imperial nobles to commit crimes, and some even openly used their status within the organization to bully men and women, stopping at nothing.

Such matters were more severe in larger cities, whereas the Martial Soul Hall branches in smaller towns were still able to maintain their original intentions and purity.

This matter had already been mentioned previously when the Sky Screen took stock of Bibi Dong, noting that rapid expansion had led to rapid corruption.

Now, the Sky Screen was presenting this fact for all to see; the images of the common folk being oppressed and harmed would surely make countless people feel their pain as if it were their own.

These were all sharp blades cutting into Martial Soul Hall, and now it remained to be seen whether Martial Soul Hall possessed the ruthlessness and courage to sever its own limb to save its life.

Ouyang Kong and Nahida were also watching Qian Daoliu, waiting to see what kind of decision he would make at this moment.

His decision would likewise influence the Akademiya's subsequent attitude toward Martial Soul Hall.

"Xue'er, I entrust the Judgment Elder Token to you. Use the Enforcement Squad to dig out all these parasites, leaving none behind. You may also exercise full authority over the Worship Hall."

"Yes!"

Qian Renxue took the Judgment Elder Token from Qian Daoliu's hand, turned, and headed straight for the Worship Hall.

As for those parasites within Martial Soul Hall exposed by the Sky Screen, they were now in a panic.

Even a Platinum Bishop like Salas was no exception; they could only pray now that their superiors would turn a blind eye and let them off the hook.

However, such prayers were clearly in vain; having betrayed their faith, they would inevitably face the punishment they deserved.

The Sky Screen's update continued, and this time, it depicted the fall of the Angel God.

There were no elaborate conspiracy theories; the Angel God had simply fallen during a battle against evil.

After ascending to godhood, the Angel God had continued to crusade against evil within the sphere of influence of the God Realm.

As she purged more and more evil, the strength of the Angel God grew ever greater.

It was not until that one time, when she encountered an unprecedented siege by evil, that the Angel God paid the price of her own life to eradicate the evil entirely.

Having fallen in the midst of crusading against evil, the Angel God herself likely had no regrets, but there was one point that had to be made.

After the fall of the Angel God, the Sea God and the Asura God had indeed partitioned a portion of the Angel God's authority.

Finally, the image on the Sky Screen froze on the somewhat dilapidated Angel Temple in the God Realm before slowly fading to black.
