Seeing the somewhat dilapidated Angel Temple in the Divine Realm, the others might not have felt much, but Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu, descendants of the Angel God, looked distinctly unhappy.

Qian Renxue even swore to herself that she would restore the Angel God's glory.

After this review on the Sky Screen, it was hard to say whether the Spirit Hall's reputation among the people of Douluo Continent had risen or fallen. But the fact that Tang Hao had placed all his hatred on the Spirit Hall was good news.

The Angel God behind the Spirit Hall had fallen. As long as Tang Chen inherited the Asura God's divine position, he would surely be able to uproot the Spirit Hall.

Sea God Poseidon, however, felt somewhat awkward. It really had been dishonorable of him and the Asura God to divide the Angel God's authorities between them.

One could even go so far as to say, in a conspiracy theory, that they had orchestrated the Angel God's death.

Scaramouche and Little Durin said nothing. As for what they were thinking, Sea God Poseidon couldn't see through them.

The Sky Screen then gave its assessment of the Spirit Hall.

[The Angel God established a force dedicated to eradicating evil, while also improving the Martial Soul cultivation system]

[Under the name of the Spirit Hall, it earned the recognition of most Spirit Masters and largely took on the responsibility of being a sacred ground for Spirit Masters]

[As its power expanded, corruption followed as expected. Upheavals among the upper ranks gradually allowed corruption to erode the entire force, while its decision-makers turned a blind eye]

[Its successor also forgot her original purpose, forgot the Angel God's convictions and ideals, and had nothing left in her heart but self-interest]

These two lines referred to Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue. Qian Daoliu was actually all right, but according to the original storyline, Qian Renxue was utterly unworthy of inheriting the Angel God's divine position.

The only reason she had completed the Nine Trials of the Angel was probably that there had been no other choice.

Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue felt the same way. Both wore ashamed expressions.

[It's never too late to mend the pen after the sheep are gone. The Spirit Hall's merits will not be erased, nor will its crimes be forgotten. Whether it moves toward destruction or rebirth depends on a single thought]

[Based on a comprehensive assessment of multiple factors, including the fall of a deity, high-level combat strength, and influence, the Spirit Hall ranks sixth]

Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue now looked up at the Sky Screen expectantly, hoping for a good reward.

Qian Daoliu wanted a reward that would let Qian Renxue inherit the Angel God's divine position right away. That would secure the Spirit Hall.

The reward the Sky Screen gave was similar, but not quite the same.

[Congratulations to the Spirit Hall for making the list. Reward: the Angel God is resurrected]

Resurrecting someone was a major matter. When Ouyang Kong and Nahida saw the reward, both couldn't help frowning.

In Teyvat, resurrection meant a price, and one far greater than the resurrection itself.

Ouyang Kong thought of that bastard Vacher from Fontaine. He had wanted to resurrect Vigne, and had single-handedly created the "Serial Disappearance Case of Youths."

However, the resurrection granted by the Sky Screen was just a reward, with no additional cost.

With a rumble, the Angel God statue in Spirit City Square shattered. The Angel God unfurled six wings and slowly rose into the air, opening her eyes at the same time.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the Sky Screen also flooded her with basic information about the present.

Qian Daoliu had already flown over. He knelt before the Angel God, tears streaming down his aged face.

"Your unworthy descendant, Qian Daoliu, pays respects to the Divine Ancestor and welcomes you back!"

"Rise. I already know what has happened. Just as the Sky Screen said, there's still a chance to mend the pen after the sheep are gone."

"Yes. I've already sent Xue'er to do it."

Ouyang Kong and Nahida walked over at that moment.

"Hello, I'm Nahida."

The Angel God bowed slightly to Nahida and Ouyang Kong.

"Lesser Lord Kusanali, Grand Sage, I'm glad to meet you."

"You're someone worthy of respect. You've always held true to your convictions. Even though the Spirit Hall has become corrupt, its existence still does more good than harm."

Ouyang Kong did not hold back his praise. Someone like the Angel God would surely have received a Vision in Teyvat.

In the Divine Realm, when the Asura God saw that the Sky Screen's reward was the Angel God's resurrection, his brows furrowed.

The Angel God's divine position in the Divine Realm had not been put to use. In other words, the Angel God had completely left the Divine Realm. Whether this was a blessing or a curse for the Divine Realm was anyone's guess.

Sea God Poseidon was even more worried now. Would the sacred authority he had obtained from the Angel God be taken back because she had been resurrected?

No one wanted to spit out what they had already swallowed.

"Next should be my Sea God Island. It's ranked above the Spirit Hall, so I'll surely get an even better reward. What do I have to fear!"

Watching the Sky Screen, the Sea God muttered to himself. He looked anything but calm.

The Sky Screen promptly updated.

[Ranked fifth: Sea God Island]

[Affiliation: Sea God]

[High-level combat strength: Bo Saixi]

[Martial Soul: Sea God]

[Soul Power Level: 99]

[High-level combat strength: Sea Dragon Douluo]

[Martial Soul: Sea Dragon]

[Soul Power Level: 95]

[Special item: Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island]

Judging from the basic information revealed by the Sky Screen, Sea God Island's high-level combat strength was actually inferior to the Spirit Hall's.

After all, the strongest of the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians of Sea God Island, Sea Dragon Douluo, was only level 95, while even the lowest-ranked enshrined member of the Spirit Hall was level 96.

The reason Sea God Island ranked above the Spirit Hall was still the deity.

In the Sky Screen's ranking, the stronger the force, the greater the weight its strength carried.

Deep in the sea, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could see the Sky Screen too. The one-eyed whale let out an enraged roar.

"Poseidon!"

On Sea God Island, Scaramouche and Little Durin watched Sea God Poseidon's divine sense too, curious to see what the Sky Screen would reveal about the fellow before them.

The Sky Screen's image slowly unfolded. It showed all of Sea God Island, then zoomed in until the scene settled on the Sea God statue.

The statue then transformed into scenes of Sea God Poseidon battling across the ocean.

Sea God Poseidon and the Angel God had both become gods through faith, but their methods were quite different.

The Sea God's way of gathering faith was much simpler and more direct. After all, his target was the Sea Soul Beasts.

Most Soul Beasts were rather simple-minded. They didn't have all those twists and turns; they believed in the rule of the strong.

Sea Soul Beasts also differed greatly from land Soul Beasts in another respect: their hatred of humans.

Humans were land-dwelling creatures, after all, and generally didn't go into the sea to hunt for Soul Rings.

This was also why the Sea God had succeeded. If the conflict between Sea Soul Beasts and human Spirit Masters had reached the point of no return, Poseidon could never have become a god by gathering the faith of the ocean.

On screen, Sea God Poseidon used the Seagod Trident in his hand to beat the Sea Soul Beasts of the ocean into submission one by one.

His final opponent was the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, once the ruler of the ocean.

Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, was delighted too, because she appeared on the Sky Screen. There she was, serving as Poseidon's mount with him standing on her back.
