Where Did the Angel God Go? [Thanks to Guoyue Wan for the Reward]

Bai Ranmo had deliberately brought only these four Immortal Herbs. After all, if Spirit Hall became too powerful, the rest of the continent's forces combined still would not be able to stand against it. How could his other clones farm Emotion Points then?

Only when both sides reached a delicate balance, and he then used his own clones to stir up trouble and give one side the advantage again, could he farm Emotion Points.

The disadvantaged side also had a clone, which could further worsen its situation and absorb its negative emotions. That way, he could take two shares at once!

What was a hero to one was a villain to another. It was better this way.

In the end, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid was given by Qian Daoliu to the Third Offering, Azure Luan Douluo.

Although the Offerings who had not received an Immortal Herb looked bitter, none of them seemed inclined to complain.

The Worship Hall respected strength above all. Besides, without Spirit Hall and the Angel God, they would not be who they were today. If they turned against the Spirit Hall that had nurtured them for so many years over one thing that displeased them, would they not become beasts like Bibi Dong?

"Old Man, arrange a room for Dark Shadow." Bai Ranmo leisurely whistled and pointed with his chin at Bai Cangyue behind him.

Only then did everyone remember that there was still a Rank-96 Titled Douluo here!

Dark Shadow's Martial Soul specialized in assassination and keeping a low profile. On top of that, the people in the Worship Hall had been excited over the Immortal Herbs and Bai Ranmo's sudden "resurrection," so they had completely forgotten about her.

Qian Daoliu gave a dignified, slight nod. "Your Excellency Dark Shadow, I'll arrange your quarters immediately. Would you be willing to join our Worship Hall and become the Eighth Offering?"

"Thank you for the honor, but I only worship my own god. I have no intention of joining Spirit Hall. I have only one duty: protecting the Divine Son's safety." Bai Cangyue bowed slightly, her tone flat, as if she were not afraid of this Limit Douluo.

"Mm. There is nothing wrong with believing in your own god. However, Your Excellency Dark Shadow can still serve as an Honorary Consecrated Elder of Spirit Hall."

Bai Cangyue gave a slight nod and did not refuse.

After the Offerings had dispersed, Bai Ranmo quietly sought out Qian Daoliu. "Old Man, could you persuade the Second Worship and Fourth Worship to leave their Immortal Herbs for Tianyue and Zhao Yunxiao?"

"You brat, you had already decided from the beginning that you wanted to give these Immortal Herbs to Tianyue and Zhao Yunxiao, didn't you?" Qian Daoliu said.

Bai Ranmo nodded. "Yep, that's right."

"Hmph, you're quite direct. But you don't need me to say anything. The Second Worship and Fourth Worship will give their Immortal Herbs to the children themselves. You can rest assured." Qian Daoliu lifted the cenotaph and photograph with Soul Power, then burned them to ash with Angel's Flame.

Bai Ranmo raised his brows curiously. "The Second Worship and Fourth Worship are that magnanimous?"

Qian Daoliu did not explain directly. Instead, he gave an analogy. "Spirit Hall is like a forest. The old, massive trees protect the new saplings and provide them with more nourishment. An Immortal Herb is like fertilizer that can rapidly increase one's size. The old trees will also grow after consuming it, but they will never become larger than the new saplings."

"But with more nourishment, wouldn't the old trees be able to live a little longer?" Bai Ranmo became even more curious.

Qian Daoliu looked up at the Angel God Statue, clasped his hands devoutly, and said with utmost solemnity, "Old trees are never afraid of death. Instead, they look forward to entering the embrace of the Angel God Ancestor after death."

Bai Ranmo raised a brow. "Then what about you, Old Man? You're not consuming the Bright Sunflower because you want to leave it for your descendants? But how come I've never seen any descendants of yours?"

At those words, Qian Daoliu's body visibly stiffened. After a long silence, he slowly turned around and looked at Bai Ranmo before saying with utmost solemnity:

"I have a granddaughter. Many people believe she died shortly after birth, but she is still alive. She merely went out to gain experience..."

"Ranmo, I'll write a letter and have my granddaughter return to absorb this Bright Sunflower. Her name is Qian Renxue. When the time comes, you should interact with her more."

In Qian Daoliu's view, his granddaughter had a chance of inheriting the Angel God Ancestor's Godhood, while Bai Ranmo had also caught the attention of another god. If the two of them became gods in the future, they naturally ought to establish a good relationship and look out for each other in the Divine Realm.

"Oh, so I have a junior martial niece!" Bai Ranmo said no more, but he had already made plans in his heart.

His new script... could begin now.

However, Qian Daoliu had clearly come to trust him completely. He had even told him that Qian Renxue was still alive. It seemed that the matters of the Godhood and the Immortal Herbs had caused Qian Daoliu to see him as more than a talented disciple. He regarded him as Spirit Hall's future pillar!

That night, Bai Ranmo lay on his bed preparing to sleep when Bai Cangyue suddenly came in.

"What's up?" Bai Ranmo asked in confusion.

"Your master sought me out and asked me about gods. He wanted to meet our Grand Priest, but I refused on the grounds that our Grand Priest didn't wish to see anyone."

"However, he still hopes the Grand Priest can do him a favor: communicate with our god and obtain some information about the Angel God Ancestor from our god."

At this, Bai Ranmo's expression became strange. Speaking of which, is the Angel God really still alive?

If the Angel God is still alive, then when that damn Poseidon pulled that golden-whatever trick during Qian Renxue's Ninth Trial, why didn't the Angel God do anything? They were both First-Level Gods!

Impossible. No matter what, Qian Renxue was her descendant and Godhood successor. The Angel God could never do something like that. If the Angel God truly had such disgusting tastes, she could never have slain Evil Soul Masters to obtain faith and achieve a First-Level Godhood.

If the Angel God really were that kind of person, Bai Ranmo would genuinely find her revolting and hack her to death!

The Angel God had most likely already fallen, with only her Godhood remaining. That was why Poseidon dared to act so recklessly.

"Once I obtain the Infinite Points Card, I'll tell Qian Daoliu that the Angel God may already have fallen." Bai Ranmo thought this but did not say it aloud. Instead, he waved at Bai Cangyue.

Bai Cangyue expressionlessly melted into the shadows and disappeared.

Heaven Dou City, inside the Crown Prince's Residence.

Qian Renxue looked at the letter her grandfather had sent her. It required her to return to Spirit Hall, and it concerned the Angel God.

Her grandfather had even sent a Soul Master from the Angel Legion to the Crown Prince's Residence to take over her duties as Crown Prince.

Although this Soul Master had not managed to figure out all of Xue Qinghe's daily habits, it was not a major problem. Xue Qinghe could simply use the excuse of preparing to hunt for a Soul Ring and temporarily leave Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi's sight.

Under the protection of Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, Qian Renxue left the Crown Prince's Residence without stopping and hurried toward Spirit Hall.

What Qian Renxue did not know was that a creature with a single eye, a volcanic head, and a humanoid shape that looked more like a monster had been watching her from the shadows all along.

When it saw Qian Renxue leave, the figure began to act as well.
