Angel Lineage, Ren Qianxue's Arrival

Blue Star.

The Blood Sea within the Firmament had already been dyed another color by tens of millions of strands of Cause and Effect.

Crimson-gold dragon aura, Southern Bright Fire, and dense earthen-yellow light intertwined. Every streak of light that fell from the sky stirred another wave upon the dark-red sea.

Blue Star could not see where those living beings had died, nor had it witnessed any Great Luo truly make a move.

Yet the Blood Sea, growing brighter and brighter, was already enough to make people realize what was happening beyond the Firmament.

The war among the three races, which had existed only in the predictions of various factions days ago, had truly begun.

Within the Unknown Plane Research Center, the cultivation system translation group that had previously been established by the Research Center and jointly attended by academies from all sides held its first joint meeting with every member present.

It was not limited to Transcendent Academies native to Blue Star.

Representatives from Shrek Academy, Soul Hall Academy, Seven Treasure Academy, and the two great empires had nearly filled the entire conference hall.

What lay on the conference table was no longer merely an observation report on the Primordial World, but a newly completed "First Civilization Exchange Catalog."

Martial Soul Awakening, Soul Power cultivation, Soul Ring Advancement, Soul Bone Fusion, Soul Core Condensation...

Beginning with an ordinary person's first Martial Soul Awakening and extending all the way to Titled Dou Practitioners, the path that Douzhe Continent had gradually forged over countless years had been organized into interconnected tiers within the catalog.

As for Divine Position Inheritance at the very top, it still had only a blank name.

This information was no longer something any single academy could decide to open or withhold on its own.

Before the meeting began, Shen Qinghe had already prepared herself for the possibility that they could discuss only matters up to the Titled Dou Practitioner level today.

Only when the side door of the conference hall opened again did the people who had been conversing in low voices fall silent in unison.

A golden-haired woman entered.

She wore a simply tailored white-and-gold gown, her long hair falling to her waist. There were few traces of time upon her delicate features.

Yet the moment she stepped into the conference hall, the Soul Guidance Runes on the rear wall, which were used to detect energy fluctuations, simultaneously lit up with six brilliant golden traces.

The Six-Winged Angel.

A being who had truly completed a Divine Position Inheritance and personally stepped into the Divine Realm.

Since the Angel Lineage established its academy on Blue Star, this woman, who had long remained stationed there, had rarely attended public Transcendent Association meetings in person.

Had Divine Position Inheritance not appeared in the exchange catalog for the first time, she would not have come here today.

Someone recognized her, instinctively lowering their voice.

"Ren Qianxue..."

Hu Liena looked up, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

The relationship between the former Soul Hall Saintess and the Angel Lineage was far too complicated to explain in a few words.

However, neither woman intended to reminisce today. Ren Qianxue merely sat down across the conference table and reached for the exchange catalog.

She read it very slowly.

Only after turning the final page did Ren Qianxue raise her head to look toward the Firmament.

In the image, Minghe had already put away Yuantu and Abi. The crimson lotus platform in Qing Yi's hand was gradually fading into the Dao Domain. Only above the Blood Sea did more and more Cause and Effect from the three races continue to sink.

"After Great Luo, the road ahead has already been severed." Ren Qianxue softly repeated what Qiuniu had said.

Shen Qinghe did not rush to ask about the Divine Position materials. She followed Ren Qianxue's gaze toward the Firmament.

"Judging from the current outcome, Qiuniu did not exaggerate the predicament of the three races."

"Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Primordial Qilin have wagered their entire races for the sake of a path that has yet to be opened. Now that the main forces of the three races have entered the fray, even if they wish to stop, there is likely little chance of it."

Ren Qianxue withdrew her gaze, her fingertips landing on the exchange catalog.

"You have listed a complete path from Martial Soul Awakening all the way to Titled Dou Practitioner as merely a second-tier exchange resource?"

Shen Qinghe was somewhat surprised. "Is there a problem?"

"Far too low," Ren Qianxue said.

Ren Qianxue's voice was not loud, yet it left no room for negotiation.

"No matter how precious a spiritual medicine is, it can only fall into one person's hands. No matter how powerful a spiritual treasure is, it can only create its owner."

"But a path that countless people have already traversed can let generation after generation of successors know where they should advance."

She gently closed the catalog.

"The Primordial World may not lack living beings or treasures, but precisely because of that, they should understand the value of a complete path even more."

The conference hall fell silent for a moment.

Ren Qianxue did not evaluate Qing Xuan, nor did she judge whether Great Luo or Divine Positions were stronger based solely on the phenomena displayed on the Firmament.

In her view, the Primordial World could give birth to those ancient innate beings, but they were ultimately only a fortunate few.

Douzhe Continent, however, had broken down a path that originally belonged only to a very small number of geniuses into a system that countless successors could study. Even beyond level one hundred, there were genuine Divine Positions ready to receive them.

At least in Ren Qianxue's eyes, what the three races were currently wagering hundreds of millions of living beings to fight over was precisely something they had possessed all along.

Then the initiative ought to be in their hands, not the Primordial World's.

"Exactly. Now this is a transaction suited to us."

Hu Liena leaned against the back of her chair, the seductive smile in her eyes undisguised.

This time, Hu Liena was no longer the only person in the conference hall who agreed with that judgment.

More and more academy representatives from Douzhe Continent left their authorization seals upon the exchange catalog.

Soul Power fundamentals, Soul Ring Advancement, and part of the Soul Core theory were opened first.

Second Martial Soul Awakening, Ultimate Dou Practitioner experience, and Divine Position Inheritance were separately elevated to the highest exchange tier.

Ren Qianxue also left a Six-Winged Angel mark on the final page.

"The Angel Lineage can provide a structural catalog for a complete Divine Position Inheritance. As for the actual contents of the inheritance, we can discuss them after the Primordial World offers something of equal value."

With those words, the cultivation system translation group, which had originally existed only for research, gained a clear goal for the first time.

They were no longer merely preparing to enter the Primordial World.

They were preparing to place a path to godhood that had already been successfully forged before those ancient beings who were still slaughtering one another over the road ahead.

Not long after the meeting ended, the first updated batch of compatibility lists was delivered to Soul Hall Academy.

Su Qingxue's name remained at the very top.

She looked at the newly added Divine Position System demonstration entry on the list and did not move her gaze away for a long time.

She had chosen Douzhe Continent in the first place because it possessed a clear, mature path that could truly reach the Divine Realm.

Now, she had become part of the Godhood Reserve and was steadily drawing closer to the choice she had once made.

Yet Qing Xuan's world had encountered a calamity that swept across heaven and earth because the path ahead had been severed.

Su Qingxue looked toward the scene within the Firmament.

She was already looking forward to the moment when the passage opened, and she, as someone from a developed civilization plane, appeared before Qing Xuan.
