The Astonished Qian Grandfather and Granddaughter, an Opportunity to Reach the God Realm?

There were countless powerful creatures in this world, but only the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan had truly formed civilizations of their own. The Dragon Clan had already become a thing of the past. Sooner or later, humanity would rule this starry sky.

If he had been born a hundred thousand years ago, following the Dragon Clan would have been the best choice.

But now, the Human Clan was gradually reaching its zenith. Following humanity was the path most aligned with the greater trend.

The future God Realm was indeed ruled by humans.

His true body, the Death Divine Tree, possessed the foundation of a God King. Borrowing humanity's fortune, he might not be unable to go a step further.

Tang San had been able to take control of the God Realm in the original plot, yet his current circumstances were far superior to Tang San's.

"What is the limit of humanity?"

On the way to Spirit Hall, Li Qinglian had been thinking about that question.

Tang San had absorbed an Eight Spider Lances, which evolved into Sea God's Eight Wings after he became a god, becoming something comparable to a divine artifact.

Huo Yuhao had opened the Eye of Life with a piece of Life Gold, which later continuously evolved into the Eternal Eye, comparable to a super divine artifact.

Humans were weak, yet they were also the most capable of absorbing and integrating external things.

"Humans may be somewhat lacking by nature, but their acquired potential is still beyond the reach of countless living beings."

Worship Hall.

Deep within the towering, mountain-like hall, the lofty dome hung overhead, while the Angel God's statue stood with its gaze lowered.

Three pairs of pristine white wings spread out in layers behind the statue. Every feather had been polished by time and faith until it gleamed like jade, flowing with a faint golden halo beneath the sunlight filtering through the roof.

The statue's face was both benevolent and majestic, its eyes slightly closed as though it watched over every devout soul in the hall.

Qian Daoliu stood directly before the statue in a white-and-gold divine robe, leading Qian Renxue in worship.

His posture was as straight as a sword, and every wrinkle on his aged face was etched with loyalty to the Angel God.

As Spirit Hall's Grand Attendant and the Angel God's representative in the mortal world, the most important duty of his life had been to protect the inheritance of this faith.

At his side, Qian Renxue knelt on the cold jade floor, her back straight and her hands folded over her chest, fingers interlocked in a prayer seal.

Her eyes were closed, her long golden lashes casting a small shadow across her cheeks. Her lips moved faintly as she silently recited an ancient prayer.

Even though she had now infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire, she still secretly returned here from time to time to kneel before this statue.

She had never missed a visit.

Her expression was deeply devout.

That devotion was not a superficial pose, but something that came from deep within her bones and blood.

Suddenly.

The Angel God's statue flickered with light.

A golden radiance slowly descended from between the statue's brows, enveloping Qian Renxue's entire body.

Qian Renxue's body trembled lightly.

A warm yet vast sacred power flowed through that golden light into every part of her body, cleansing her.

"Xue'er, how do you feel?"

"I can feel that my connection with the Angel God has become even closer."

A trace of delight flashed across Qian Renxue's upturned lips.

"Good! Xue'er, you are the most outstanding descendant of the Qian Clan in a thousand years. You must seize this opportunity well," Qian Daoliu said approvingly.

"Xue'er, what's wrong?"

Qian Daoliu frowned and looked toward the entrance of the main hall of the Worship Hall.

There, an incomparably beautiful woman in a green dress was walking toward them, holding the hand of a child dressed in a short black robe.

Qian Daoliu's pupils suddenly constricted.

Inside the Worship Hall, two people had entered, yet he had not noticed them at all.

"Who are you?"

Qian Renxue looked at the Goddess of Life, her heart filled with shock.

She discovered that although the woman stood right before her, she could not make out her features. It was not only Qian Renxue; even Qian Daoliu, an Ultimate Douluo, was the same. They even realized that every time they blinked, the impression the woman left on them changed.

A god!

Gods could not be looked upon directly!

Though Qian Renxue had asked the question, she had already formed a guess in her heart. She hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to examine the Goddess of Life's face again.

The Goddess of Life did not answer them and merely said to herself:

"You are the ones in charge of Spirit Hall, correct?"

"Yes, I am Spirit Hall's Grand Attendant. My Lady Goddess, may I ask what instructions you have for visiting Spirit Hall?"

Qian Daoliu hurriedly replied.

"It is very simple..."

"I have a child who needs your help looking after him."

"If he can grow up safely, I can grant you an opportunity to enter the God Realm. Even a godhood is not beyond negotiation."

When the Goddess of Life finished speaking, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue both stared blankly, as if they had misheard her.

Look after someone?

And then they would gain a chance to enter the God Realm, perhaps even become gods?

Was she serious?

Slap!

Qian Daoliu suddenly slapped himself across the face.

It hurt. It was real!

Even the Angel God does not have the authority to grant a direct passage into the God Realm, does he? Qian Daoliu thought.

If the Angel God had such ability, then given the ties between the Qian Clan and the Angel God, those peerless geniuses of the Qian Clan could have been taken to serve him even if they lacked the ability to inherit a godhood.

Clearly, this woman's status in the God Realm was far more exalted than that of the Angel God!

A fortuitous opportunity!

A tremendous fortuitous opportunity!

Qian Renxue's chest rose and fell violently with excitement.

She was proud and wished to become a god through her own strength, but who would not take a shortcut if one existed? This was practically a guaranteed fallback.

Even if she failed to inherit a godhood in the future, she could still enter the God Realm and might even obtain a godhood.

"My Lady Goddess, of course we are willing."

"Please rest assured. Even if I must stake this old life of mine, I will ensure the young master's safety."

Afraid that the Goddess of Life might change her mind, Qian Daoliu immediately agreed.

"It is enough that you have such resolve."

"Rest assured. I, Life, will not go back on my word."

The Goddess of Life spoke softly, then turned her gaze toward Li Qinglian.

A jade-green gemstone appeared in her delicate palm.

Then, with a flick of her slender finger, the gemstone instantly burrowed into Li Qinglian's heart.

"Qinglian, this is a Seed of Life. I have planted it in your heart. Every surge of your blood and every circulation of your soul power will nourish it."

"As for what effect it will have within your body, I do not know either. But my intuition tells me that it is very important to you."

"I came to the lower realm in haste this time and made no preparations. If I remain too long, it will be very detrimental to you." The Goddess of Life affectionately pinched Li Qinglian's cheek. If she had a choice, she truly wanted to remain by his side forever.

Unfortunately, if she were that selfish, she would only place him in danger.

"Wan'er, go ahead. No one in the lower realm will dare bully me."

Li Qinglian blinked.

On the soul beast side, he had Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, protecting him. On the human side, he had Qian Daoliu, an Ultimate Douluo.

Li Qinglian could truly swagger through the lower realm without fear.

"Then I'll be leaving first."

"The next time I come, I'll bring Kindness over to play with you."

The Goddess of Life reluctantly planted a loud kiss on Li Qinglian's cheek. Then her entire body turned into specks of fluorescent light and vanished instantly before the three of them.
