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

There were countless powerful beings 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 relic of the past; sooner or later, humanity would rule this starry expanse.

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

But now, humanity was gradually reaching its zenith. Following humanity was what best aligned with the tide of the times.

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 yet take another step forward.

Tang San had been able to take charge of the God Realm in the original story. His current circumstances were far superior to Tang San's.

"Where is humanity's limit?"

On the way to Spirit Hall, Li Qinglian had been pondering this question.

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

Huo Yuhao had used a piece of Life Gold to open the Eye of Life, which later continued evolving into the Eternal Eye, comparable to a super divine artifact.

Humans were weak, yet they were also the most capable of absorbing and fusing with external objects.

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

Worship Hall.

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

Three pairs of snow-white wings unfurled layer upon layer 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 light spilling through the hall's roof.

The statue's face was compassionate yet imposing, its eyes slightly closed, as if watching over every devout soul within the hall.

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

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

As the Grand Worshiper of Spirit Hall and the Angel God's representative in the mortal world, the most important matter of his life had been safeguarding 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 cast a small shadow over her cheeks, while 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 at regular intervals to kneel before this statue.

She had never missed a single visit.

Her expression was deeply devout.

That devotion was not a superficial pose; it came from the depths of her bones and blood.

Suddenly.

The Angel God's statue glowed faintly.

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

Qian Renxue's body trembled lightly.

A warm and vast holy 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 grown closer."

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

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

"Xue'er, what's wrong?"

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

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

Qian Daoliu's pupils suddenly constricted.

Two people had entered the Worship Hall, yet he had not sensed them at all.

"Who are you?"

Qian Renxue looked toward the Goddess of Life, horror rising within her heart.

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

A god!

Gods could not be looked upon directly!

Although Qian Renxue asked the question, she had already formed a guess in her heart. She hurriedly lowered her head, no longer daring to study the Goddess of Life's face.

The Goddess of Life did not answer them. She merely said to herself,

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

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

Qian Daoliu hurriedly replied.

"It is very simple..."

"I have a child who needs your help to look after."

"If he can grow up safe and sound, I can grant you an opportunity to enter the God Realm. Even a divine position is not beyond discussion."

As the Goddess of Life's words fell, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue both stared blankly, as though they had misheard her.

Look after someone?

And then they would have an opportunity to enter the God Realm, perhaps even become gods?

Was she serious?

Slap!

Qian Daoliu fiercely slapped himself across the face.

It hurt. It was real!

Even the Angel God does not have the authority to grant someone a direct place in the God Realm, does she? Qian Daoliu thought to himself.

If the Angel God possessed that ability, then given the Qian Clan's connection to her, even those peerless Qian Clan talents who lacked the ability to inherit a godhood could have been brought to serve her.

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

A fortuitous opportunity!

A tremendous fortuitous opportunity!

Qian Renxue's chest heaved violently with excitement.

She was proud and wished to become a god through her own strength, but who would refuse a shortcut if one existed? This was practically a guaranteed safeguard.

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

"Goddess, of course we are willing."

"Please rest assured. Even if I must risk this old life of mine, I will keep the young master safe."

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

"It is enough that you have such resolve."

"Rest assured. I, the Goddess of 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 drilled 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 inside 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 lovingly 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 on. No one in the lower realm would dare bully me."

Li Qinglian blinked.

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

Li Qinglian truly could walk sideways in the lower realm.

"Then I'll be going now."

"Next time I come, I'll bring Goodness along 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.
