"Offer my... loyalty?" Qian Renxue murmured.
"The angel's glory, the future's fate, the evil demons beyond this realm, 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 small body tremble involuntarily.
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 shown her actually real?
Qian Renxue was only young, not stupid!
This person had never revealed his identity from beginning to end, nor had he even shown himself. He was far too suspicious!
Little Qian Renxue sighed inwardly. If the future this person had shown her was real, she wouldn't mind offering her "loyalty."
But... what if it was fake?
Would he take this chance to do something to Spirit Hall?
If only Grandpa were here. He would definitely be able to drag out the bad person hiding in the shadows...
That was what little Qian Renxue thought.
Reading Qian Renxue's thoughts, Lu Chen couldn't help but chuckle. "If you want to change your fate and agree to offer your loyalty, then you'll be qualified to know my identity!"
"If you don't want to, everything that happened today will fade away like a dream, and your future won't change in any way because of it."
"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 best. Lu Chen could directly support Qian Renxue against Tang San and wage a proxy war with the Asura God!
After all, Lu Chen had no desire to wait until Tang San became a God King and have himself refined in an instant!
If she refused, Lu Chen would merely have to spend a little more time searching for other promising candidates.
In any case, he remembered all the geniuses of Douluo Continent clearly. He wasn't worried about being unable to find someone capable of dealing with Tang San.
It was simply that among these people—these geniuses—Qian Renxue had the best talent!
As for why he, the Heavenly Dao of Douluo, didn't act personally...
Heh!
Before gaining the strength to blow apart a God King, Lu Chen would never take the initiative, even if it killed him!
"I agree!"
Qian Renxue did not keep Lu Chen waiting long. The confusion in her heart vanished, and she quickly made her choice.
Her little mind spun rapidly. If what this bad person in the shadows said was true, then she could only agree!
After all, Spirit Hall's future enemy had an old god who played dirty standing behind him!
And Spirit Hall's Angel God was gone. No matter how she thought about it, they couldn't possibly win!
If it was fake, and the other party merely wanted to use her to deal with Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue wasn't worried either. Grandpa was still around!
Once she safely got away, she would immediately find Grandpa and have him slap this liar to death!
As for whether Qian Daoliu could defeat him, that wasn't within Qian Renxue's range of consideration!
How could Grandpa possibly lose?
"Not bad. Decisive enough, just as expected of someone I have taken a liking to!"
Lu Chen praised her, his gaze toward Qian Renxue filled with admiration.
"Offer your loyalty! Call my name! Then you may come before me!"
"My name—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, and in the next instant, she vanished from her bedchamber.
When she opened her eyes again, Qian Renxue found herself in a hazy space. Clouds seemed to float all around her, while rivers flowed one after another. Their colors seemed brilliantly multicolored, then pure white, then endlessly black, making them impossible to see clearly!
Looking ahead, she saw a figure standing quietly directly in front of her, as though he were the center of this 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 laws! I am also the lord of the heavens and the master of all things in this world! You may simply call me Heavenly Dao!"
"Heavenly... Dao?"
After hearing Lu Chen's explanation, along with the unfamiliar information that surfaced in her mind, Qian Renxue roughly understood the identity of the person before her.
Honestly, after learning Lu Chen's identity, Qian Renxue was utterly shocked!
She had never imagined that the bad person, heretic, and hateful person coveting Spirit Hall she had imagined would actually be the Heavenly Dao of Douluo Continent!
This... this was simply too astonishing!
Looking at Lu Chen before her, little Qian Renxue felt that words could no longer describe how she felt.
Heavenly Dao! The one who had approached her was actually the master of Douluo Continent!
This... what was she supposed to do now?!
As the Heavenly Dao of Douluo, the things he had told her must all be true, right? They had to be true!
Hehe! Didn't that mean she would become the Angel God in the future?!
At the thought that she would truly become a god, Qian Renxue was so delighted that she nearly lost her bearings.
But Qian Renxue soon thought of how that godhood would end, and her mood turned sour again.
Sigh!
That damned old god, that damned evil god! She had worked so hard to become the Angel God, yet they had shattered her Godhood!
Damn it!
Absolutely infuriating!
Watching Qian Renxue's little face shift from smiles to anger, Lu Chen found it rather amusing.
She truly was still just a little girl. Every emotion showed directly on her face. He didn't even need to read her mind to know what Qian Renxue was thinking. Lu Chen couldn't help shaking his head.
"Heavenly... Heavenly Dao, I'm... I'm sorry. I got distracted just now~"
Seeing Lu Chen shake his head, Qian Renxue immediately came back 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 the Heavenly Dao displeased?
What if he decided not to help Spirit Hall? That would be terrible!
"Have you sorted out your feelings?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.
"Mhm! I have!" Little Qian Renxue nodded obediently. Looking at Lu Chen, a blush appeared on her small face. "Heavenly Dao, I... I was mainly too excited after learning your identity, so I..."
"It's fine. I can understand how you feel." Lu Chen smiled faintly. "So, now that you have met me, do you still think I'm some heretic sent by an evil god to deceive you?"
"N-No, I don't."
Little Qian Renxue shook her head, her cheeks flushed red.
But after saying that, a strange feeling rose within her.
It seemed like... she had never called him a heretic or anything like that, had she?
Probably not?
"So, you believe what I said was the truth?"
"Yes, Heavenly Dao!"
"Do you want to change the fate of yourself and Spirit Hall?"
"I do!!!"
Qian Renxue's answer rang out resolutely!
"As long as I can change Spirit Hall's fate, I am willing to offer all my loyalty to you, 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 going on?
Lu Chen flicked his finger, and a streak of light entered Qian Renxue's brow, carrying her back to Spirit Hall!
