"Offer my... loyalty?" Qian Renxue murmured.
"The angel's glory, your future fate, demons from beyond the domain, and... Mother... Do you know why Mother hates me?"
"Y-you... who exactly are you?"
"Who I am isn't important. What matters is whether you want to change your fate."
Lu Chen's words drifted lightly into little Qian Renxue's ears, making her tiny body tremble.
Did she want to change her fate?
Of course she did!
But was this fate real?
Or rather, were the things this "bad person," this "heretic" who had been hiding in the shadows told her and showed her actually real?
Qian Renxue was young, not stupid!
This person had never revealed his identity from beginning to end, nor had he even shown himself. He was simply too suspicious!
Little Qian Renxue sighed inwardly. If the future this person had shown her was real, she did not mind offering up her "loyalty."
But... what if it was false?
Would he take this chance to do something to Spirit Hall?
If only Grandpa were here. He would definitely be able to drag that bad person out of the shadows...
That was what little Qian Renxue thought.
Having read Qian Renxue's thoughts, Lu Chen chuckled. "If you wish to change your fate and agree to offer me your loyalty, then you will be qualified to know my identity!"
"If you do not wish to, then everything that happened today will fade away like a dream, and your future will not change in any way."
"Well? Have you made your decision?"
Lu Chen gazed leisurely at Qian Renxue, wanting to see what choice this little angel would make.
If she agreed, that would naturally be for the best. Lu Chen could directly support Qian Renxue against Tang San and wage a proxy war against the Asura God!
After all, Lu Chen had no intention of waiting until Tang San became a God King and refined him in an instant!
If she refused, Lu Chen would merely need to spend more time searching for other promising candidates.
In any case, he had the talented youths of Douluo Continent firmly in mind. He was not worried about failing to find someone capable of dealing with Tang San.
It was just that among those people—those geniuses—Qian Renxue possessed the best talent!
As for why he, the Heavenly Dao of Douluo Continent, did not act personally...
Heh!
Before he possessed the strength to smash a God King to pieces, Lu Chen would never take the initiative, even if it killed him!
"I agree!"
Qian Renxue did not make Lu Chen wait long. The confusion in her heart vanished, and she quickly made her choice.
Her little mind raced. If the bad person hiding in the dark was telling the truth, then she could only agree!
After all, Spirit Hall's great enemy of the future had an old god behind him, one who had no sense of fair play!
And Spirit Hall's Angel God was no longer around. No matter how she thought about it, they could not win!
If it was false, and the other party merely wanted to use her to deal with Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue was not worried either. Grandpa was there!
Once she got away safely, she would immediately find Grandpa and have him slap this liar to death!
As for whether Qian Daoliu could defeat him, that was beyond Qian Renxue's consideration!
How could Grandpa possibly lose?
"Not bad. Decisive enough, just as expected of someone I chose!"
Lu Chen praised her, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Qian Renxue.
"Offer your loyalty! Call my name! Then you may come before me!"
"My name is—the Heavenly Dao!"
A complex syllable resounded in Qian Renxue's mind, making her cry out in shock.
"Heavenly Dao?!"
A blurry figure appeared before Qian Renxue. Then, in an instant, she vanished from her bedchamber.
When Qian Renxue opened her eyes again, she found herself within a hazy space. Clouds seemed to drift all around her, while rivers flowed one after another. Their colors seemed brilliantly multicolored, yet also pure white, and yet also endlessly black, making them impossible to see clearly!
She looked ahead and saw a figure standing quietly before her, as though he were the center of this entire world!
Lu Chen turned around. His starry-sea-like eyes looked upon the little angel he had summoned, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"I am the Heavenly Dao, the master of this world's Dao! I am also the lord of the heavens and the master of all things in this world! You may simply address me as the Heavenly Dao!"
"The... Heavenly Dao?"
After hearing Lu Chen's explanation and sensing unfamiliar information emerge in her mind, Qian Renxue roughly understood the identity of the person before her.
To be honest, after learning Lu Chen's identity, Qian Renxue was utterly shocked!
She had never imagined that the bad person, heretic, and despicable man coveting Spirit Hall she had imagined would actually be the Heavenly Dao of Douluo Continent!
Th-this was simply too astonishing!
Looking at Lu Chen before her, little Qian Renxue felt that words could no longer describe how she felt.
The Heavenly Dao! The one who had sought her out was actually the master of Douluo Continent!
Th-this... what was she supposed to do now?
As the Heavenly Dao of Douluo Continent, surely everything he had told her was true, right? It had to be true!
Hehe! Didn't that mean she would become the Angel God in the future?!
At the thought that she truly would become a god, Qian Renxue was so delighted that she nearly lost her bearings.
But Qian Renxue soon remembered the ending awaiting her as a god, and her mood turned sour again.
Sigh!
Damn old god, damn evil god! She had worked so hard to become the Angel God, only for them to shatter her divine position!
Despicable!
Absolutely despicable!
Watching Qian Renxue's little face shift from smiles to anger, Lu Chen could not help finding it amusing.
She really was still just a little girl. Every emotion showed directly on her face. He did not even need to read her mind to know what Qian Renxue was thinking, and Lu Chen could not help shaking his head.
"L-Lord Heavenly Dao, I-I'm sorry. I got distracted just now~"
Seeing Lu Chen shake his head, Qian Renxue immediately came to her senses. The person standing before her was the Heavenly Dao of Douluo Continent. How could she behave so improperly?
Oh no, oh no!
Would her behavior just now make Lord Heavenly Dao dissatisfied?
What if he decided not to help Spirit Hall? That would be terrible!
"Have you adjusted your mood?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.
"Mhm, mhm! I've adjusted it!" Little Qian Renxue nodded obediently. Looking at Lu Chen, a faint blush appeared on her little face. "Lord Heavenly Dao, just now, I... I was mainly too excited after learning your identity, so I..."
"It is nothing. I understand how you feel." Lu Chen smiled faintly. "Now that you have met me, do you still think I am a heretic sent by evil gods to deceive you?"
"N-no, I don't."
Little Qian Renxue shook her head, her cheeks flushed red.
But after she finished speaking, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
It seemed like... she had never actually called him a heretic or anything like that, had she?
Probably not, right?
"So, you believe that what I said was true?"
"Yes, Lord Heavenly Dao!"
"Do you wish to change the fate of yourself and Spirit Hall?"
"Yes!!!"
Qian Renxue's answer rang out with conviction!
"As long as I can change Spirit Hall's fate, I am willing to offer all my loyalty to you, Lord Heavenly Dao!"
"Very good. Go forth with my blessing and cultivate diligently! Once you possess great strength, you will naturally be able to change your fate!"
"The world is with you!"
"Huh?!!"
Qian Renxue's eyes widened round!
What was happening?
Lu Chen flicked a finger, and a streak of light entered Qian Renxue's brow, carrying her back to Spirit Hall!
