I Remain Skeptical of Your Character as a Grass

"Oh?"

Duan Yu raised his brows in surprise. "You can sense divinity too?"

"Of course I can."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid said proudly, "These seven leaves on me are anything but ordinary. When I peered into Heaven's Secret back then, I relied on these seven leaves to glimpse it."

Duan Yu looked at the smug grass, the corner of his mouth twitching. It only had a hundred-thousand-year cultivation yet dared to peer into Heaven's Secret. This grass really had drunk itself silly.

"Then tell me, what does the divinity in there feel like?" Duan Yu asked casually, leaning back in his chair.

"Very sacred. It's an extremely dense aura of light."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid said solemnly, "And rather than saying there is divinity, it would be more accurate to say that a god is in this world."

"You believe gods exist in this world too?"

Duan Yu was intrigued and said with amusement, "Throughout nearly ten thousand years of Douluo Continent's history, there has been no clear proof that gods truly exist. If not for the Elder Hall worshipping the Angel God as its followers and specifically building a statue of the Angel God, people probably would not even know of the Angel God."

"So most people in this world do not believe gods truly exist."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid snorted. "The world is ignorant. What does that have to do with me? You think a god can appear in ten thousand years just by hitting pity?"

"According to the conclusion I reached by peering into Heaven's Secret, no god will definitely appear in this era. And that little girl dressed as a man whom you met in the Heaven Dou Empire last time is the person with the greatest potential to become a god."

Duan Yu had been drinking tea, but when he heard it mention Qian Renxue, he nearly choked. "You saw through her too?"

If he had not known the original plot, and if Qian Renxue had not been so unguarded around him that she had voluntarily exposed herself once, he probably would not have discovered that Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise.

Afterward, he had also tried to see through her, but no matter how he observed, Qian Renxue was exceptionally skilled at playing Xue Qinghe, leaving him completely unable to spot any flaws.

"What's so hard about seeing through that?"

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid said disdainfully, "That disguise may be powerful, but I'm not weak either. My control over spatial power has now reached the point where I can see through falsehood. Unless someone already possesses divinity, I can see through them all."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid sounded arrogant, but Duan Yu knew it was not baseless. This unknown Immortal Herb that had appeared at the Icefire Yin Yang Well was itself a massive bug and variable.

However, Duan Yu did not find it strange either. He himself was also a bug and a variable. The two of them meeting could be considered fate.

What was that saying again? Oh, right. A low mountain and stinking water meet a kindred spirit.

"Kid, how about it? I was right, wasn't I?" Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid said proudly.

"You were right."

Duan Yu took a sip of tea and looked toward the statue of the Six-Winged Angel. "The god represented by that statue of the Six-Winged Angel is the Angel God, who controls sacred light power."

"And in the palace beneath that temple, the powerful being you sensed is the Angel God's representative left behind on Douluo Continent."

"But are you sure that, even without divinity concealing them, you could see through that person's falsehood? That person is Qian Daoliu, a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo."

"Gasp."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid, which had remained calm until then, sucked in a cold breath upon hearing Duan Yu's final sentence. It said in shock, "A level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo?"

However, after its shock subsided, it calmed down again and sighed. "As expected of the continent's representative chosen by a god. His strength is indeed formidable."

Duan Yu sneered inwardly. Heh, so what if he was strong? In the end, he would still be schemed against by the gods and meet the fate of a fallen god.

Even now, Duan Yu could not understand why that little bastard, a mere rising junior, could become two gods in one body.

He did not believe at all in that nonsense about extraordinary talent and simultaneously gaining the favor of both the Sea God and the Asura God.

There were countless gifted people across the continent. Why did his generation alone produce someone who became two gods in one body? Don't mention how he was a Tang Sect transmigrator with unique cultivation techniques and unparalleled hidden weapons. If they were truly comparing cultivation techniques, the Angel God's inheritance should have been number one.

Most likely, the Asura God and Sea God simply disliked the Rakshasa God and Angel God, and wanted an excuse to destroy them.

With that thought, Duan Yu pushed open the door and walked out. The guards waiting outside the hall had tried to follow him, but Duan Yu waved them all away.

Without Salas's people around him, he might even be safer.

"Kid, where are you going?"

Seeing Duan Yu get up and head outside in the middle of their conversation, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid asked doubtfully, "Don't you know Spirit City is dangerous? How dare you just walk around like this? If you die, I'll be finished too."

"Little Leaf, just how cowardly are you?"

Duan Yu's tone was teasing. He had never expected the grass on his body to be so timid.

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid: "..." I'm afraid that Ultimate Douluo will discover something unusual about you and drag you back for dissection and research.

After all, that old man had lived for a full hundred thousand years, yet he had never seen a human as strange as this kid before him.

"Don't worry."

Duan Yu said calmly, "Qian Daoliu has no interest in wasting his attention on trivial matters right now. He is probably making plans for Qian Renxue, still working hard to sense divinity and striving to establish contact with the Angel God as soon as possible."

"So he has no time to come out and pay attention to a three-ring child and a shabby hundred-thousand-year-old grass."

"How do you know?"

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid rolled its eyes at him and asked in surprise, "Even I can't peer into that. Also, why are you a child, while I'm a shabby little grass?"

Duan Yu smiled faintly and began muttering:

"Maybe because I'm pretty damn awesome."

"A human not belonging to this era."

"The mysterious ruler above Douluo Continent."

"The King of Douluo who controls time and space."

Guided by time and space, he glimpsed a corner of the future.

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid looked at Duan Yu and fell silent. After a long while, it finally said, "There doesn't seem to be any unusual phenomenon."

"Obviously."

Duan Yu said irritably, "Of course there isn't. I was just saying that casually, putting on a show for you. Did you think a corner of the future was really that easy to glimpse? I reasonably suspect you want heavenly punishment to strike me dead so you can run away in comfort."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid said in disbelief, "How can you think of me that way? Is that the kind of grass I am in your eyes?"

"Yes."

The air suddenly fell silent.

"...I'm not."

"You are exactly that kind of grass."

Before Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid could finish, Duan Yu directly cut it off. "I have always remained skeptical of your character as a grass."
