Offer Your Loyalty, and the World Will Stand with You

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

Lu Chen's "insult" toward the Angel God had completely enraged the little angel, who had originally feared him!

At this moment, Qian Renxue was filled with righteous indignation. This evil man lurking in the shadows actually dared to claim that the Angel God was dead. It was simply unforgivable!

"Bad man, do you know what my Martial Soul is? It is a God-tier Martial Soul with innate soul power of level twenty! A Martial Soul blessed by the heavens!"

"Take back your disrespectful words! Remember, this is Spirit Hall. If you insult the Angel God again, the deity will surely send down divine punishment to discipline you, bad man!"

Hearing Qian Renxue call him "bad man" over and over, Lu Chen was not angry at all. Instead, a smile spread across his lips.

Look at this little angel hopping around. 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 swaggered into Spirit Hall and spoke so brazenly about the death of a deity?"

"Bad man! Do not even think of misleading me! The Angel God resides high in the Divine Realm! How could she bother herself with a bad man like you over such a trivial matter!"

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

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

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

"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 place of inheritance."

"However, although the current Angel God is dead, on the eve of Spirit Hall's destruction in the future, a successor capable of inheriting her Godhood will still be born within 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 bad man!

The bad man is trying to mislead 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 misled by a bad man!

"Take a guess. If you guess correctly, there will be a prize." Seeing Qian Renxue's adorable little expression, Lu Chen could not resist teasing her.

"Hmph! Don't even think about misleading me!"

"You really do not want to know?"

"Hmph!"

"The person who successfully inherited the Godhood and became the new Angel God is someone you know~"

"Mm..." Someone I know?

"And someone very close to you~"

"..." Someone very close to me? Qian Renxue lowered her little head.

She really wanted to ask, but remembering that this bad man was trying to mislead her, she feared that something unpleasant would happen if she asked.

"And she shares your surname~"

"It's Grandpa!"

Qian Renxue raised her head in delight!

Grandpa had become 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 family on the continent?

"It's you~"

Just as Qian Renxue racked her brains to imagine who it could be, Lu Chen's airy voice came again.

"Me?!"

Qian Renxue suddenly raised her head, pointed a finger at herself, and looked all around with her large golden eyes!

No one!

Damn bad man, where exactly are you hiding?!

"That's right, you."

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

"You gained divine rings, assembled divine armor, and ascended to godhood in a single step!"

"You became the first deity to ascend after the Sea God's ascension ten thousand years ago!"

"What a 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 bad man's supposed misdirection, Qian Renxue had long since tossed it to the back of her mind!

What misdirection? How could that be more important than 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 drawn out, carrying a trace of regret. "Although you became the new Angel God, you failed to prevent Spirit Hall's destruction. In the final great battle against an enemy deity, you preserved your life, but your Godhood was ultimately shattered, leaving you trapped at the Soul Douluo level for the rest of your life."

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

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

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Qian Renxue could not believe it. She had only just ascended to godhood, so how had she fallen from Godhood in the blink of an eye? And ended up trapped at the Soul Douluo level for life.

How had things suddenly become so miserable?

Was this bad man playing with her?

Qian Renxue urgently said, "Didn't you say that I was the first to become a god? How could he possibly defeat me? Is he not 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?"

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

Lu Chen smiled faintly. "But later, he revived. 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 not fair!

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

"The outcome of that vast divine war had already 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 be a loss?

Was Spirit Hall truly fated to be unable to escape destruction?

Her doubts about Lu Chen had nearly been worn away by sentence after sentence, by question after question and answer after answer.

If the future was destined for failure, if Spirit Hall was destined to be destroyed.

Then what could she do?

What could she, a future deity, do?

Qian Renxue was utterly lost!

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

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

"You are the true child of this world! The other side is nothing but an evil demon from beyond this realm!"

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