Offer Your Loyalty, and the World Will Stand with You

From fear and dread, to calm composure, and then to angry confrontation!

Lu Chen's "insult" toward the Angel God had thoroughly enraged the little angel who had once feared him!

At this moment, Qian Renxue was filled with righteous indignation. How dare this evil villain lurking in the shadows claim that Lady Angel God was dead? It was simply unforgivable!

"Villain, do you know what my Martial Soul is? It is a God-tier Martial Soul with innate twentieth-level Soul Power! A Martial Soul blessed by the gods!"

"Take back your disrespectful words! Remember, this is Spirit Hall. If you dare insult Lady Angel God again, the gods will surely send down divine punishment to punish you, villain!"

Hearing Qian Renxue call him a villain over and over, Lu Chen was not angered. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

Look at this little angel hopping about. Not long ago, she had been terrified of him, scared half to death. Yet after he merely said that the Angel God was dead, she had become so brave.

How interesting!

"Blessing? Divine punishment? If the Angel God truly still existed, then why had she not come to punish me after I brazenly barged into Spirit Hall and spoke so recklessly of a god's death?"

"Villain! Don't even think about misleading me! Lady Angel God resides high above in the Divine Realm! How could she concern herself with such a trivial matter as you, villain!"

Qian Renxue still did not believe it. How could the Angel God possibly be dead?

If the Angel God truly was dead, then where had her God-given Martial Soul come from?

I, Qian Renxue, will never believe a single word from a villain!

"Whether you believe it or not, I will only tell you this: the Angel God no longer exists in this world. Her aura vanished from the Divine Realm long ago. Spirit Hall... can be considered her final Inheritance Grounds."

"However, although the Angel God of today is already dead, on the eve of Spirit Hall's destruction in the future, a successor capable of inheriting her Godhood will still emerge from Spirit Hall."

"A new Angel God?" Qian Renxue could not help asking.

But the moment the words left her mouth, she immediately shut her little mouth.

Bad mouth!

How could I respond to a villain?!

The villain is trying to deceive me, don't you know that?!

"That's right, a new Angel God."

Lu Chen smiled. "Do you want to know who the new Angel God is?"

Qian Renxue widened her eyes, pursed her lips, and said nothing!

Hmph! I absolutely will not be deceived by a villain!

"Take a guess. If you guess right, there'll be a reward." Seeing Qian Renxue's adorable expression, Lu Chen could not help teasing her.

"Hmph! Don't think you can deceive me!"

"You really don't want to know?"

"Hmph!"

"You know the person who successfully inherited the Godhood and became the new Angel God~"

"Mm..." I know her?

"You're very familiar with her too~"

"..." Very familiar with me? Qian Renxue lowered her little head.

She really wanted to ask, but when she thought about how this villain was trying to deceive her, she feared something bad would happen if she asked.

"And she has the same surname as you~"

"It's Grandpa!"

Qian Renxue lifted her head in delight!

Grandpa became the Angel God?

That was wonderful!

That was wonderful!

Grandpa's wish had finally come true!

"No!"

Qian Renxue's breath caught!

Not him?

If it was not Grandpa, then who could it be?

Were there other members of the Qian Clan on the continent?

"It's you~"

Just as Qian Renxue racked her brains trying to imagine who it could be, Lu Chen's airy voice drifted over once more.

"Me?!"

Qian Renxue abruptly raised her head, pointed a finger at herself, and darted her large golden eyes around in every direction!

No one!

Damn villain, where exactly are you hiding?!

"That's right, you."

Lu Chen said leisurely, "As the owner of a God-tier Martial Soul and a genius with innate twentieth-level Soul Power, you lived up to your grandfather's expectations and successfully passed every trial set by the Angel God!"

"You obtained divine rings, gathered the divine armor, and ascended to godhood in a single step!"

"You became the first deity ten thousand years after the Sea God ascended!"

"What a truly joyous occasion!"

"I became a god!"

The corners of Qian Renxue's mouth could not stop rising. Listening to Lu Chen's description, her little mind had already begun imagining the wonderful scene of herself ascending to Godhood and leading Spirit Hall to even greater heights!

Hehehe~ I'm a god!

As for the deception of some villain lurking in the shadows, Qian Renxue had long since cast it to the back of her mind!

What deception? What did that matter compared to me becoming a god?!

"Unfortunately!"

Before Qian Renxue could continue enjoying herself, a sigh sounded beside her ear.

Oh no!

Lu Chen's tone was unhurried, carrying a faint note of regret. "Although you became the new Angel God, you failed to stop Spirit Hall's destruction. In the final great battle against the enemy god, you preserved your life, but your Godhood was ultimately shattered, leaving you trapped at the Soul Douluo rank for the rest of your life."

"And after you fell from Godhood, Spirit Hall was purged from top to bottom by the enemy god and the two great empires. In the end, only a handful of people survived, including you."

"From then on, Spirit Hall was erased from the continent!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Qian Renxue could hardly believe it. She had only just ascended to godhood—how had she fallen from Godhood in the blink of an eye? And been left trapped as a Soul Douluo for the rest of her life.

How had things suddenly become so miserable?

Was this villain just toying with her?

Qian Renxue said urgently, "Didn't you say I was the first to become a god? How could he possibly defeat me? Wasn't he a god of Douluo Continent?"

"No, he inherited his Godhood in this world!"

"Then why? Could the Godhood he inherited be stronger than the Angel God's Godhood?"

"Whether it was stronger than the Angel God's Godhood was secondary. During the battle, you once killed him!"

Lu Chen smiled faintly. "But he later came back to life. Do you want to know why?"

"Why?" Qian Renxue was furious. How could he revive after being killed by her, the Angel God? It was unfair!

"Because the previous owner of that Godhood had not died! The former owner of that Godhood intervened in this battle!"

"The ending of this grand divine war had long been written! You were destined to lose! Spirit Hall was destined to lose!"

"In the divine war of the future, the other side was certain to win!"

"Because behind your opponent stood a God King! A God King who wielded great authority and possessed overwhelming divine power!"

"So, do you understand now?"

"..."

Little Qian Renxue fell silent.

Was the future destined to end in defeat?

Was Spirit Hall destined to be unable to escape destruction?

Her doubts about Lu Chen had nearly been worn away through his sentence after sentence, through their repeated questions and answers.

If the future was doomed to fail, if Spirit Hall was destined to be destroyed.

Then what could she do?

What could she, a future god, do?

Qian Renxue was utterly lost!

"Do you want to restore the glory of the angels? Do you want to save Spirit Hall? Do you want to shatter this ridiculous fate? Do you want to uncover the truth behind why your mother does not love you?"

"Offer your loyalty! Angel born of Douluo Continent!"

"You are the true child of this world! That side is nothing more than an evil fiend from beyond this realm!"

"Offer your loyalty! The world will stand with you!"
