Qian Daoliu's Request

Ten breaths had passed.

The current Shura God naturally saw Wu Changming's future.

After watching it, the Shura God could not help but feel regret.

Such an outstanding successor would surely become a god as long as he wished to.

Yet, for the sake of his descendants, he had chosen to set aside his own inheritance.

Could the familial love of mortals truly be enough to make someone give up godhood?

The Shura God was greatly surprised.

After all, he had been a god from birth.

Naturally, he had no family and had never experienced familial affection.

For a moment, the Shura God became intrigued.

With a wave of his hand, a blood-red curtain of light appeared within the passage.

"Human, you have successfully piqued my interest."

"I never expected you to abandon my Shura Godhood to save a child."

"Let us see what the child you saved with a godhood will ultimately become!"

"I hope he will live up to your sacrifice."

A blood-red curtain of light appeared before Wu Changming's eyes.

The light curtain flickered.

One scene after another appeared before Wu Changming.

From Wu Qingkong babbling as he learned to speak, to stumbling as he slowly learned to walk.

Then came the time when he began speaking clearly.

Within the scenes,

Wu Qingkong grew up step by step under Wu Changming's care.

The two lived in seclusion on the outskirts.

Though their days were poor, they were happy.

An old man and a young child slowly grew together. Little Wu Qingkong no longer suffered from Heaven's Jealousy, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Wu Changming was very happy.

Yet as the Shura God watched these scenes, he could not help but find them dull.

Naturally, the Shura God could not understand the domestic happiness of mortals.

Faced with such trivial daily routines of raising a child, the Shura God waved his hand.

He chose to skip them entirely.

The light curtain shifted, and time leaped from Wu Qingkong's youth directly to his adulthood.

The adult Wu Qingkong had indeed become increasingly extraordinary.

Even when the Shura God examined this young man through the eyes of a deity, he could not find the slightest flaw.

Whether in appearance, temperament, or Soul Power cultivation.

But a person's life was filled with endless trivialities, scattered daily routines, and insignificant matters.

Naturally, none of these caught the Shura God's attention.

He merely quickly reviewed several of Wu Qingkong's most remarkable moments.

His wedding.

His breakthrough.

And the day Wu Qingkong finally became a god.

Moreover, the aura of Wu Qingkong's godhood actually came from the same origin as that of the Shura God's godhood.

The Shura God could not help but feel surprised after seeing it.

He had never expected his connection to the Wu Family to run so deep.

The grandfather's inheritance had failed, yet the grandson ultimately succeeded in inheriting it.

Having witnessed Wu Qingkong's entire life, the Shura God was extremely satisfied with this young man who would inherit his godhood in the future.

He nodded in satisfaction.

At Wu Changming's side, tears were already streaming down his face.

After all, he had personally witnessed his own ending.

He could only accompany Wu Qingkong for a little more than ten years.

Yet now, he could see his grandson sweeping across the future continent, marrying and starting a family.

In the end, he would even ascend to the God Realm.

Wu Changming was very happy.

As the light curtain reached the moment Wu Qingkong became a god, everything came to an abrupt end.

After all, Wu Qingkong would already hold the position of a God King by then.

Those at the level of God Kings could not be casually peered into.

Wu Changming immediately bowed to the Shura God and thanked him. "Thank you, Lord Shura, for granting me the Shura God Test."

"Thanks to you, the Wu Family line was saved, and my grandson will be able to attain godhood in the future."

The Shura God shook his head.

"No, it was not I who helped you."

"You helped yourself."

"I came here only because you drew my attention. The events of the future were not something I deliberately assisted with. Every opportunity was earned by your Wu Family."

"Now that you and I have glimpsed the future, everything in it has its destined course. It is all simply fate."

"Human, I have already granted you your Divine Examination."

"What comes next will ultimately depend on your Wu Family line fighting for it."

"Do not use your foreknowledge of the future for opportunistic schemes. What has happened will happen again, and what has been done will be done again."

"Even if you possess a god's-eye view, attempting to forcefully alter things will only backfire."

After hearing this, Wu Changming lowered his head, his tone respectful.

"I shall heed Lord Shura's teachings. This junior understands."

When he raised his head again,

the towering blood-red pillar of light had already vanished.

The entire world had returned to its previous calm.

If not for the faint Shura Divine Power still flowing through his body, Wu Changming would have believed that everything which had happened to him earlier was merely a dream...

Wu Changming descended from the air to the ground.

Qian Daoliu hurriedly went forward to meet him.

"Congratulations, Senior Frost Sword. Congratulations, Senior Frost Sword."

"Now that Senior Frost Sword has received a Divine Examination inheritance, you will surely reach the pinnacle and ascend to the God Realm in the future."

Qian Daoliu's flattery came from the bottom of his heart.

After all, only those who had truly fought Wu Changming knew how terrifying he was.

If someone with such magnificence still could not complete a Divine Examination,

then there was likely no one in the world who could.

In response to Qian Daoliu's praise, Wu Changming merely smiled. "Thanks."

Qian Daoliu had already been completely convinced by Frost Sword earlier, and now Frost Sword Douluo had received a Divine Examination inheritance.

Naturally, Qian Daoliu wanted to win him over with all his might.

He even thought that it would be wonderful if one of his descendants could form some connection with the Wu Family.

For example, through a marriage arrangement...

Qian Daoliu wanted to speak several times, but each time, the words reached his lips and would not come out.

After all, the gap between them was far too great.

Even Wu Changming before receiving a godhood inheritance was not someone Qian Daoliu could compare to.

And now, Wu Changming had received a Divine Examination inheritance.

In his view, Wu Changming would certainly become a god.

Though he appeared to command the entire Spirit Hall and bask in glory before others, only Qian Daoliu himself knew that he was merely a servant of the Angel God. Even his Soul Power relied heavily on the Angel God's bestowed grace.

Without the Angel God, Qian Daoliu's achievements might not have been poor, but he certainly would not have enjoyed such glory as he did now.

Qian Daoliu wanted to speak several times, yet ultimately hesitated every time.

Wu Changming naturally sensed Qian Daoliu's unusual behavior.

"What is it? If you have something to say, then say it quickly."

"Senior... I want to... I..."

Seeing that Qian Daoliu was still hesitating, Wu Changming spoke bluntly. "Stop dawdling and say it. If there is nothing else, I am going home."

"My son is still waiting for me."

Seeing that Wu Changming was about to leave, Qian Daoliu was unwilling to give up.

"Senior, may I trouble you to visit Spirit Hall as a guest?"

"I wish to discuss something with you."

Wu Changming did not refuse and nodded immediately.

"Fine, let us go."

After all, Qian Daoliu had also contributed to this Shura God Test of his.

It was Qian Daoliu's suggestion that led to the subsequent martial competition, which ultimately drew the Shura God's attention.

It was merely a visit, nothing difficult.

By reason and sentiment alike, Wu Changming had no reason to refuse.

Hearing Frost Sword agree, Qian Daoliu was overjoyed and immediately led the way ahead.
