Ancient Times
A dazzling golden light, too bright to look at with the naked eye, gradually came into view.
That was not fire, not Soul Power, not any known energy in the world.
It floats quietly in the void, gentle yet domineering, grand yet lonely.
Strands of fine golden light flowed slowly, carrying a supreme divine aura that purified all things and burned away darkness.
At this very moment.
The throbbing feeling that had been entangled in the entire mountain within Qian Xunji's heart instantly reached its peak.
His blood boiled instantly, and the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul trembled, revived, and resonated uncontrollably within his body.
The very essence of the Ultimate Fire, at this moment, frantically converged and submitted to the golden light ahead.
"What... what kind of power is this?!"
Qian Xunji's pupils shrank abruptly. His 900,000 years of cultivation and the divine physique tempered by the Angel God's inheritance gave rise to a sense of worship and submission from the depths of his soul.
The golden light before me surpasses even the Six-Winged Angel.
Qian Xunji unconsciously reached out to touch it, and the moment they touched!
Buzz--!
Qian Xunji fell heavily to the ground.
Outside the volcano, after Qian Xunji entered, the volcano indeed stopped erupting. He was initially marveling at the power of a level 97 Super Douluo, wondering if it was truly capable of stopping a volcanic eruption!
However, Xu Mingqi and his group waited for three whole days, but Qian Xunji still did not appear. He had already informed Mingdu and sent countless people to search for Qian Xunji's whereabouts.
As the empire's strongest warrior, he had ventured deep into the volcano's crater several times, but each time he could only manage a hundred meters before being unable to sustain himself and had to retreat without finding anything.
The Cardinal of the Spirit Hall standing nearby was extremely anxious. Although he did not know Qian Xunji's identity, he could tell that the Eighth Worshipper, whom Qian Xunji was impersonating, held a high position in His Holiness the Pope's heart.
If something were to happen to Qian Xunji, his future would likely be very difficult.
"Your Highness, please go and try again!"
"Alas, Your Grace, I have searched everywhere I could, but I am truly helpless."
As time passed, even though the Sun-Moon Empire intended to obstruct it, the bishop still managed to relay the message back to the Spirit Hall.
"What?! Qian! No! The Eighth Worshipper went missing after entering the volcano?!" Bibi Dong was shocked upon hearing the news.
The guard responsible for relaying the message trembled with fear. He had heard rumors that His Holiness the Pope and the Eighth Worshipper were having an affair, and it seemed that this information did indeed have some basis.
"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope, we searched that volcano for a week with the Sun-Moon Empire, but found no trace of the Eighth Worshipper."
Then we rushed back to report the news, and now it has been almost a month and a half. As for whether we have found the Eighth Worshipper Subordinate, we do not know."
Bibi Dong unconsciously crushed the armrest, forcibly suppressing her emotions:
"Okay, you can go now."
After the guards left, Bibi Dong collapsed to the ground, panting heavily as if she couldn't breathe.
She clutched her chest, trying desperately to calm her wildly beating heart, but to no avail.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally managed to sit up and drag her weak, trembling body toward the Worship Hall.
Seeing that Bibi Dong was not in a good condition, Qian Daoliu first dismissed Qian Renxue and then appeared in front of Bibi Dong.
"What happened?" Qian Daoliu, puzzled and somewhat flustered. He had never seen Bibi Dong like this before. Could it be that Tang Chen had appeared?
"Qian Xunji has disappeared?"
Qian Daoliu's gaze sharpened:
"Didn't he go to the Sun-Moon Continent? Did he encounter some powerful expert or strong Soul Beast?"
"No, no, but for some reason, he rushed into the volcano. He didn't come out for a whole week, which is probably a month and a half ago now."
"Aren't you lying to me again?" Qian Daoliu was somewhat unwilling to believe it, after all, he had just been deceived by these two not long ago.
"I'm serious! Go save your son right now! Do you hear me!" Bibi Dong grabbed Qian Daoliu's collar frantically.
Qian Daoliu was startled and, believing most of the information, quickly tried to calm Bibi Dong down.
"Don't panic. Jier is a level 97 Super Douluo. A mere volcano can't hurt him. He might have already escaped it by now."
"Keep an eye on Xiao Xue, I'll take Lao San to check on her." Qian Daoliu suppressed his inner panic.
As for why we didn't bring the Golden Crocodile, it's simply because Golden Crocodile fly slowly.
"I want to go too!"
"Whether you are the Pope or Xiao Xue's mother, both the Spirit Hall and Xiao Xue need you."
"The Spirit Hall is currently in a stable phase, and there's nothing major going on. The several administrative bishops and Chrysanthemum Ghost can handle it."
As for Xiao Xue, she's already Soul Ancestor. I've wanted her to go out and gain some experience for a long time. She shouldn't stay in the Worship Hall playing house with you all the time. As for Xiao Xue's safety, sending Guang Ling to accompany her and arranging for Golden Crocodile to protect her secretly is enough."Bibi Dong calmed down a little, but her words remained firm.
Xiao Xue and Qian Xunji had long planned for Xiaoxue's training. In the original work, Xiao Xue's low combat power was related to the fact that she had hardly experienced any real battles. In order to prevent Xiao Xue from becoming the weakest First-Level God in the future, the two of them came up with this plan.
As for why Guang Ling chosen, it's because Guang Ling's appearance and personality are more suitable, and in addition, Guang Ling was not famous in her early years, and only a few high-level executives who had met her at the last meeting knew her.
Seeing Bibi Dong like this, Qian Daoliu sighed softly, then went to make arrangements and instructed Lion, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo to keep an eye on the Spirit Hall.
Xiao Xue was initially puzzled when she learned that she was going out to gain experience, but then she became excited, since she had actually had enough of staying in the Worship Hall and the Papal Palace.
Since her father was away from home at the time, Guang Ling hurriedly took her out to travel.
Qian Daoliu, Azure Luan, Bibi Dong also rushed to the Sun-Moon Empire.
The group moved with incredible speed, especially Qian Daoliu, whose level 99 Soul Power, combined with his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, made him the fastest Soul Master in the world.
Although Azure Luan level 97) and Bibi Dong (level 96) were a bit slower, they were still close behind.
Inside the Sun Volcano, Qian Xunji seemed to be having a dream, a dream that took place many years ago.
Countless planets and countless planes of existence, in their primordial beginnings, out of reverence for nature and worship of light.
The sun became the totem they worshipped directly.
I don't know how many years have passed, when, or where.
A life was born in response to the faith of all beings; thus, the Sun God was born.
Over the countless years that followed, the Sun God collected the faith of all living beings, blessed countless planes with favorable weather and abundant harvests, and the civilizations of all planes flourished.
Later, after the Dragon God and Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Ancestor and became gods, various civilizations gradually stopped worshipping the sun as they developed.
So the Sun God fell into slumber, handing over all authority to the Dragon God, leaving only the Dragon God and the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Ancestor in the world.
The Dragon God created the Dragon God Domain, which later became the Divine Realm.
Later, the Dragon God Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Tribe because of its destructive power.
At the last moment, the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Ancestor found the lost soul of the Sun God, brought it to the Sun-Moon Continent Sun-Moon Continent, and left his own bloodline there as well, hoping that one day someone could revive the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Tribe.
