Spirit City, the Elder Hall.
Standing quietly in the center of the Elder Hall, facing the enormous Six-Winged Angel statue, Qian Renxue was enveloped in a golden radiance.
"Xue'er, are you ready to face the Divine Trials?"
Qian Daoliu's aged, calm voice sounded behind Qian Renxue.
"Grandfather, I'm ready."
Qian Renxue raised her head, her azure eyes filled with determination.
"Good, very good, excellent."
Qian Daoliu offered three successive praises, his face brimming with excitement and anticipation. "Our Qian Family's legacy has endured for nearly ten thousand years."

Tilting her head, Qian Renxue thought for a moment before offering that conclusion.
"So a Great Enshrined like me waited generation after generation, for who knows how long, before you finally came along."
Qian Daoliu's eyes brimmed with tears as he continued, "Now that you've reached level 70, you can officially undertake the Angel God's trials. After nearly ten thousand years, our Qian Family will finally produce another Angel God."
Qian Renxue nodded firmly. "I will restore the Divine Ancestor's glory!"

Qian Daoliu stroked his long beard, his face full of smiles.
"By the way, once I become the Angel God, will I be able to beat the Old Ancestor?"
Changing the subject, Qian Renxue posed the question
