Two Deities Witness

On the left stood a woman.

She wore a gown of gold so magnificent it defied description; its style was archaic and divine, the hem shimmering like liquid sunlight, embroidered throughout with intricate and arcane Angelic runes.

Her long, golden hair, which seemed to have been spun from the purest rays of the sun, cascaded down her back, the tips swaying gently as if stirred by an invisible breeze.

Her beauty transcended the limits of mortal perception—a supreme presence that fused holiness, nobility, elegance, and perfection into one.

Every feature of her face appeared to have been meticulously carved by the highest laws of the universe, flawless in every regard.

Most striking were her golden eyes, deep as the cosmos, seemingly containing endless light and judgment.

She stood barefoot, her perfect, delicate ankles and skin—clear as the finest mutton-fat jade—untouched by dust as they rested lightly upon the ground.

Yet, her aura was so sacred and lofty that it stifled any thought of profanity, leaving only a reverence that stirred the very soul.

On the right stood a man.

He was draped in a simple robe that seemed to have been condensed from the entire ocean; deep blue waves rippled across the fabric, with faint visions of stars and seas flickering in and out of existence.

His face was handsome, carrying the gentle, weathered air of one who had traversed endless ages. His long blue hair resembled the deepest ocean trench, and his eyes were a blue deeper than the sky itself, his lips curled into a faint, playful, and gratified smile.

His mere presence made him the center of the ocean, the source of all waters, the master of the tides.

His aura was not as scorching or sacred as the woman in gold, but it was far more vast and profound, like the deep, boundless sea of the universe.

The arrival of these two figures did not involve any deliberate release of pressure, yet their very existence seemed to freeze both time and the laws of this space.

"A... Angel God?!" Qian Daoliu was the first to recover from the incomparable shock.

He stared wide-eyed at the woman in the golden dress, his voice trembling violently from extreme excitement and awe.

As the High Priestess of the Angel God, he was intimately familiar with the aura of this figure!

Though he had never seen her in the flesh, the connection etched into his bloodline and heritage could not be mistaken!

"Sea God!" Almost simultaneously, Bo Saixi gasped, her beautiful face filled with excitement, piety, and a hint of bewilderment as she looked at the man in the blue robe.

The Sea God had actually descended in his true form?!

Indeed!

The two who had suddenly descended were none other than the first-tier gods of the God Realm—the Angel God and the Sea God, Poseidon!

Qian Renxue and Li Qing finally snapped back to reality.

Qian Renxue looked at the golden-clad goddess—whose aura was the same as her own martial soul, making her soul tremble with a longing for closeness and profound reverence—and an indescribable brilliance erupted in her purple eyes.

Almost instinctively, she followed her grandfather and bowed deeply to the Angel God, her voice trembling with excitement: "Qian Renxue pays respects to the Angel God!"

Though Li Qing was somewhat surprised by the timely and high-profile arrival of these two big shots, he remained composed and bowed to the Sea God, Poseidon: "Li Qing greets the Sea God."

The Sea God, Poseidon, offered Li Qing a slight smile, one that carried the implication of, So, you finally figured it out, kid.

As for the Angel God, her golden eyes fell upon Qian Renxue, her gaze enveloping her like the gentlest sunlight.

"No need for such formalities," the Sea God, Poseidon, spoke.

His voice was gentle yet resonant, as if carrying the echo of ocean waves, clearly reaching into the depths of everyone's souls with a soothing power.

He swept his gaze over the group, finally resting on Li Qing and Qian Renxue, his tone carrying a hint of amusement: "We two have come today for no other reason. We simply sensed that a joyous occasion was to take place in the lower realm, one involving the union of our two successors. Such fate is rare indeed. Thus, we came to see it for ourselves, and perhaps... to serve as witnesses."

Witnesses?!

Gods descending in person, just to witness the engagement of two successors?!

These words struck like another heavy hammer against the hearts of Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi!

Even they had never heard of gods descending to the lower realm for the sake of a successor's marriage!

The implications were entirely different!

This meant that this union was not only approved by the two gods, but perhaps... it was something they were happy to see, or even something they had orchestrated!

Qian Daoliu's heart hammered against his ribs, threatening to leap out of his throat!

He turned sharply to the still-dazed Qian Renxue, his voice cracking with extreme excitement: "Xue'er! What are you still standing there for! Quickly! Thank the Angel God for her grace! Her personal arrival is a supreme honor! It is the greatest recognition and expectation she could bestow upon you!"

His words jolted Qian Renxue back to her senses.

That's right!

The Angel God had descended in person!

What did this mean?

It meant that the possibility of her inheriting the godhood had shifted from a mere chance to an inevitability!

As long as she worked hard and avoided pitfalls, the Angel godhood was within her reach!

This was worth billions of times more than any promise or gift!

The overwhelming surprise and excitement instantly washed away all her previous shame and complex emotions.

Qian Renxue quickly bowed deeply once more, a flush of excitement coloring her beautiful face, her voice crisp, firm, and filled with unprecedented piety and determination:

"Qian Renxue thanks the Angel God for her great kindness! For bestowing the inheritance and descending to witness this! Renxue will surely give her all, never failing your expectations, passing the trials as soon as possible to inherit the godhood, and spreading the glory of the Angels throughout the world!"

Her words were resonant and powerful, and a scorching flame burned within her purple eyes.

Previously, although she had longed to inherit the Angel God's position, she had always felt it was somewhat distant and uncertain.

After all, the divine trials were arduous, and no one could guarantee a hundred percent success rate.

But now, the Angel God had descended in person; although she hadn't spoken explicitly, this attitude was the greatest affirmation and encouragement possible!

This caused the trepidation and uncertainty in her heart to vanish instantly, replaced by an incomparably firm conviction and surging motivation!

Change the future?

Starting from now!

With the clear attention of a god and Li Qing, the prophet, by her side, she, Qian Renxue, would surely walk a glorious path, one completely different from that tragic future!

Li Qing looked at Qian Renxue, who was glowing with excitement and possessed an even more breathtaking beauty, and nodded slightly to himself.

[It seems this engagement wasn't a bad deal after all. At the very least, it can make this woman settle her mind early, focus on participating in the divine trials, and stop thinking about playing undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire all day long.]

Poseidon and the Angel God exchanged a smile, seemingly quite satisfied with Qian Renxue's reaction.

"Good."

The Angel God finally spoke. Her voice was ethereal and sacred, like music from heaven, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty: "I have perceived the resolve in your heart. Cultivate diligently, hold fast to your original intent, and the divine position shall be within reach."

After speaking, she looked at Li Qing again, a trace of inscrutable light flashing in her golden eyes. Immediately, the two figures began to slowly turn transparent, and the vast divine might that had shrouded the hall receded like a tide.

"The matter here is concluded; we depart. You two... take care of yourselves."

The lingering echoes resonated throughout the empty Sea God Hall.

The two supreme figures had already vanished without a trace, as if they had never appeared at all. Only the faint, sacred, and vast aura remaining in the air proved that the earth-shattering scene from just moments ago was not a hallucination.

Silence returned to the hall.

But in everyone's hearts, there was no longer any peace.

Qian Daoliu was unable to suppress his excitement, his aged face flushed red.

Bo Saixi wore a complex expression, looking at Li Qing and Qian Renxue, lost in thought.

Qian Renxue clenched her fists tightly, her purple eyes shining brilliantly, as if she could already see a future where she was clad in divine armor, wielding the light.

As for Li Qing, he rubbed his chin, looking at his high-spirited fiancée beside him, a playful smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

[On the first day of our engagement, I've already met two actual gods... This opening is truly grand. Next, I should think about how to guide my future Angel God wife so she doesn't go astray. Hmm... where should I start?]

His gaze drifted involuntarily toward Qian Renxue's shapely... posterior.

Qian Renxue seemed to sense something; she whipped her head around and locked eyes with Li Qing's malicious gaze. The excitement she had felt from seeing the gods instantly cooled, her pretty face flushed red, and she subconsciously took half a step back, alarm bells ringing in her heart!

This bastard... what is he thinking about again?!
