The Angel God Reincarnated?
Dugu Bo's refusal was actually within Yu Changge's expectations, since Bai Zhi's pregnancy at this point was indeed not a suitable time.
After chatting with Dugu Bo and the other two for a while, Yu Changge and Bibi Dong left.
After all, the two of them still needed to discuss the trip to Sea God Island with Qian Xunji early the next morning.
Currently, the ships heading to Sea God Island include those built by the Spirit Hall itself and those purchased from elsewhere.
The Spirit Hall Branch located in and around Vast Sea City was responsible for this task.
If they want to go to Sea God Island, they can only travel west to Vast Sea City and then head to Sea God Island.
Early the next morning.
A meeting room Pope Palace.
Qian Xunji sat in the main seat, while Yu Changge and Bibi Dong sat on either side of him. As for the other elders and retainers, they simply sat down wherever they pleased.
They're all familiar with this place, so there's no need to follow too many rules.
Afterwards, seeing that everyone had arrived, Qian Xunji said, "Regarding the trip to Sea God Island, I will explain it from the beginning, and then you can see if there is anything you need to add in the middle."
"If there are no problems, we expect to depart in about two weeks."
The others nodded; they knew that the reason for starting from the beginning was mainly to let Yu Changge and Bibi Dong understand the situation.
After all, these Titled Douluo were essentially just there to accompany them on this trip.
Whether or not Sea God Island can be brought under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall is actually secondary.
Because if there are real deities worshipped on Sea God Island, then their idea would have to be scrapped.
If not, then it naturally falls under the jurisdiction of military revenue.
Qian Xunji looked at Yu Changge and Bibi Dong and said, "Two months ago, Uncle Golden Crocodile and other members of the Spirit Hall returned from their voyage and not only discovered the new continent of the Sun-Moon Continent, but also an island called Sea God Island."
"Let's talk about Sea God Island first. According to the Spirit Hall's recent inquiries about the people of Vast Sea City and the small islands near Sea God Island..."
"We have learned that there is a High Priest on Sea God Island, whose strength is suspected to be that of Ninety-Ninth Rank Peerless Douluo, and under him are seven Sacred Pillar Guardian."
Upon hearing Yu Changge asked, "Uncle Qian, how strong are the seven Sacred Pillar Guardian?"
Qian Xunji, "It is said that among these seven Sacred Pillar Guardian, the weakest is Soul Douluo, and the strongest is Titled Douluo."
"Furthermore, there's a very strange rule on Sea God Island, and it's precisely because of this rule that my father and I believe that gods exist on Sea God Island, or that gods have ever existed there!"
In the original novel, a major reason why Qian Xunji led more than two thousand Soul Master from the Spirit Hall to attack Sea God Island but returned empty-handed was that he probably didn't realize this at the time.
Furthermore, they believed that the Spirit Hall was the most powerful force in the world, and that subjugating an isolated overseas island would be a simple matter.
Unfortunately, they were proven wrong.
But things are different now. After discovering the island, Qian Xunji knew to consult with Qian Daoliu first and to gather intelligence.
As for the current strength of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island, it is actually quite reasonable.
After all, there are still thirty or forty years before Tang San goes to Sea God Island.
However, Titled Douluo are not a common occurrence. It's impossible that every generation of the seven Sacred Pillar Guardian on Sea God Island is Titled Douluo.
There are only so many people on Sea God Island, even Black-Level Trial wouldn't be enough.
The Black-Level Trial carries a chance of death, and when Tang San went, only about thirty people had received the Black-Level Trial in the past hundred years. How many of them passed?
Furthermore, passing the Black-Level Trial does not mean you become Titled Douluo. At most, the Black-Level Trial will grant you six levels of Soul Power for free, which is the Black-Level Six Trials.
At this moment, Bibi Dong asked, "Teacher, how do you know all this?"
"Didn't they say that some of our Spirit Hall members were driven away as soon as they arrived on the island?"
Qian Xunji said, "That's right. After they were driven away, they returned and then passed by another small island, where they learned some information about Sea God Island from some people there."
"They said that people from Sea God Island who turn eighteen must undergo a trial at one of the seven Sacred Pillar."
"Based on the level of the test, they can be divided into white, yellow, purple, black, and red."
"Those who fail to complete the trials below the Black-Level within the allotted time will be expelled from the island."
"Presumably, the reason those people were willing to give us Spirit Hall Soul Master this information is because they harbor some resentment towards Sea God Island. After all, it was the island that gave birth to them, but they were expelled because they failed the assessment."
"As for the Black-Level Trial, it is said that very few people obtain it, and the only consequence of failing to complete it is death."
"As for the Crimson-Level Trial, there's only one right now, and that's the High Priest of Sea God Island."
Yu Changge said at the right moment, "Isn't this just like the Angel's Sixth Trial that you, Uncle Qian, obtained, which are divided into levels?"
Qian Xunji nodded and said, "That's right, which is why we suspect that Sea God Island should also possess a divine lineage."
"The position of High Priest corresponds to my father's Grand Elder, and my father received the Angel's Eight Trials. Above that, there should be a Ninth Trial."
"Unfortunately, I lack the talent. In all these years, no one in our Qian Clan has ever passed the Ninth Trial."
Yu Changge thought to herself: Your daughter has a chance, but unfortunately you're not having children now.
To be honest, he didn't really understand why Qian Renxue would receive the Angel Nine Trials, since in terms of talent, she wasn't much better than Qian Xunji.
As for comparing her to Qian Daoliu? He subjectively thought that Qian Renxue was no match for Qian Daoliu, at least in terms of mindset; the two were far inferior.
This can be seen from the Divine Trial and some battles with the main characters.
Therefore, Yu Changge had a hunch: could the reason the Angel God subjected Qian Renxue to the Divine Trial instead of Qian Daoliu be because... Qian Renxue was a woman?
There are even rumors that Qian Renxue is the reincarnation of the first Angel God, and that the Six-Winged Angel phantom bears some resemblance to Qian Renxue.
Of course, no matter what Yu Changge thought in her heart, it was a foregone conclusion that Qian Xunji's descendant, Qian Renxue, would pass the Angel God Trial.
"So, Uncle Qian, how many people is the Spirit Hall planning to send this time? What did the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan say?"
Qian Xunji said quickly, "Regarding this, the Spirit Hall is preparing to send about fifty people this time, including some elders and bishops, all of whom are elites."
The Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's accompanying personnel combined probably number about twenty. Our three groups together number around seventy people."
P. S.: Brothers, please take some time to read this! I'm really looking forward to it!
