"Not yet."
Qian Daochen shook his head.
"The sacrifice will cause too much of a disturbance."
"The Heavenly Dao won't allow the dragon god origin to merge with your martial soul so easily."
"If we do it in Spirit City, both the Angel God's Temple and the Papal Hall will be alerted."
Qian Renxue immediately withdrew her martial soul.
"Then where do we go?"
"The Star Dou Great Forest."
Qian Daochen looked into the distance.
Qian Renxue nodded gently.
"When do we leave?"
"Now."
Qian Daochen turned around.
The Godslaying Sword coalesced into a broad Sword Shadow beneath his feet.
The Fire Dragon King flew onto his left shoulder.
The Ice Dragon King landed on his right shoulder.
The Light Dragon God Butterfly settled on Qian Renxue's shoulder.
Qian Daochen held out his hand.
"Come up."
Qian Renxue raised her hand and took his.
A clear radiance rose from the Sword Shadow.
Qian Renxue's golden dress swayed gently in the wind.
She stood beside Qian Daochen, closer to him than before.
The Light Dragon God Butterfly rested on her shoulder.
Nine-colored radiance intertwined with the golden light of the six-winged angel.
"Master."
The Light Dragon God Butterfly looked at Qian Daochen.
"Am I certain to succeed?"
"Yes."
Qian Daochen looked ahead.
"I've already protected your origin."
"As long as you merge with Qian Renxue, you'll regain your life."
The Light Dragon God Butterfly gently fluttered its wings.
It looked at Qian Renxue beside it.
"Then from now on, I'll be your soul ring."
Qian Renxue nodded.
"And my companion."
The Light Dragon God Butterfly said nothing more.
It settled back onto Qian Renxue's shoulder.
The broad Sword Shadow passed through the sea of clouds toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Heaven Dou City.
Outside Shrek Academy.
