"How could you not know that?"
Phantylia looked in surprise at the dispirited older woman before him, who had changed back into her pajamas.
"Mm, my Angel Godhood stirred a little while ago. Most likely, it encountered a qualified junior. Once that junior's strength meets the standard, it might issue the Angel God Trial."
Qian Lingsu ate her cantaloupe in little bites as she spoke casually.
"You're relying entirely on the Godhood Inheritance's automatic mechanism?"
Phantylia gave Qian Lingsu an admiring look. A deity who took lying flat this far was truly one of a kind!
"Mm. Once the Angel God Trial begins, I'll use the rules to separate myself from the Angel Godhood. After that, I'll leave the Divine Realm."
Qian Lingsu spoke offhandedly. After all these years, having someone to talk to was rather nice.
"What if they fail the trial?"
"Then it's none of my business. The Divine Realm's rules say that once the Divine Test begins, a deity can shed their godhood."
At this point, Qian Lingsu began to look forward to the junior in the lower realm starting the Divine Test sooner.
"I heard the current High Priest of Sea God Island is of the Sea God's bloodline, but the Sea God's successor isn't. Isn't it a little too cruel to make her sacrifice her life for someone unrelated to her?"
Phantylia looked at Qian Lingsu's face. She did bear some resemblance to Qian Renxue.
"Those are the Divine Realm's rules. What can you do~"
Qian Lingsu shook her head. Ultimately, Spirit Hall's current lineage was merely her younger brother's legacy. By now, she really didn't have much affection left for Spirit Hall.
"Oh, then would you..."
Phantylia asked tentatively.
"Spirit Hall doesn't have much to do with me, and I can't be bothered to put my mind to finding loopholes in the rules."
"What, do you have some connection to the current guardian?"
Qian Lingsu raised her eyelids and gave Phantylia a surprised look.
"Uh... no."
Phantylia answered honestly.
"Oh, fine. You're the first person to come looking for me, after all."
Divine light flashed in Qian Lingsu's eyes as she used her godhood to learn about Spirit Hall's current situation.
"Uh, uh, uh~"
"Auntie Angel, why do you say Spirit Hall doesn't have much to do with you?"
Phantylia tugged at Qian Lingsu's sleeve with his little hand, hastily changing the subject.
"Spirit Hall was my younger brother's enterprise, and the descendants he left behind are his bloodline. After all these years, how could I retain affection for every generation?"
Only after retrieving the information on the current guardian and successor did Qian Lingsu turn back to Phantylia and speak.
"Also, call me big sis."
Qian Lingsu looked serious.
"Then, Big Sis Qian, don't you have any descendants?"
"When I was young and didn't know better, all I cared about was cultivation. By the time I knew better, there was no one around me anymore."
"Poseidon did court me, but I turned him down."
Qian Lingsu thought for a moment, then shared some gossip about herself.
"Why?"
Phantylia picked up a piece of cantaloupe, genuinely curious now.
"Because he was too old. I like boys who aren't tall, have fair, soft skin and an innocent personality, and call me big sis."
Qian Lingsu let out a wistful sigh. After ascending, she had wanted a sweet romance, but unfortunately, she couldn't find a lover who caught her eye in the entire vast Divine Realm.
"Oh."
Phantylia said no more.
Isn't that just a fucking pretty little boy?!
So Qian Renxue inherited it from you, huh?!
Phantylia remained silent. He felt the entire angel lineage needed a good electric shock.
Qian Lingsu sipped her tea, but her gaze suddenly settled on Phantylia across from her.
Not tall!
Fair, soft skin!
An innocent personality!
Calls me big sis!
And a second-generation deity, too!
He'll definitely be able to keep pace with me in the future!
Qian Lingsu's delicate body gave a sudden shudder!
The first man to enter her home was actually a little gem!
"Ahem, cutie, what's your name~"
White light flashed over Qian Lingsu, and her casual pajamas instantly transformed into a pale-gold, glassy palace gown.
Specks of starlight shimmered across it.
"My name is Phantylia."
Phantylia answered absently. He had already found the reason the Sea God had been able to tamper with the Angel God Trial in the original story.
"Then how about I call you baby~"
Qian Lingsu asked demurely. That was how all her romance novels wrote it!
"Anything's fine."
Phantylia answered casually. Speaking of which, why had Big Sis Qian suddenly changed into a pretty dress?
"All right~"
"How old are you this year, baby~"
Qian Lingsu asked in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"I only awakened my martial soul a little while ago."
Phantylia spoke quietly. Although he was, in essence, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon who had lived for a million years, he certainly couldn't casually reveal something like that!
"Oh? So tender?"
"No, I mean, you're still so little, baby~"
Qian Lingsu frowned slightly. Her lovely, peach-blossom eyes held three parts regret, three parts secret delight, three parts desire, and one part imagination.
But the regret vanished in an instant. She had already spent so many years alone; another dozen or so days would hardly matter.
Having finally found someone who could keep pace with her and suited her tastes, she naturally couldn't let him go so easily!
Besides, being young was good!
She could raise him herself!
Just imagine watching my husband grow up little by little. How romantic would that be!
The corners of Qian Lingsu's lips lifted as she secretly made up her mind!
"Then what martial soul did you awaken, baby?"
Qian Lingsu asked curiously.
"The Destruction Scepter and the Life Ancient Tree."
Phantylia opened his little hands, and two martial souls, one purple and one green, instantly appeared!
"How is that possible!"
Qian Lingsu's enticing little mouth fell open as she stared in disbelief at the two martial souls in Phantylia's hands.
Life and destruction were absolute opposites by their very nature. She had heard that even the Life God King and the Destruction God King couldn't solve that problem!
Yet these two martial souls could actually appear in the same child?
Qian Lingsu's rusty brain began working again!
Of course she understood what this meant!
It meant that if Phantylia could keep going, he would become the first deity to fully master the origins of life and destruction!
Perhaps he could even touch the level above a God King!
Qian Lingsu pressed her lips together, her gaze growing heated.
She had merely intended to find a husband who caught her eye and could continue onward alongside her, but now it seemed she might even be able to hitch a ride on Phantylia's future!
Although rubbing up against his success was a little embarrassing, at worst, she could let little Phantylia rub up against her in the future, too!
Fucking Asura God, you're the one forcing me not to advance, huh!
Qian Lingsu's heart burned, and her gaze looked as though she wanted to swallow little Phantylia whole!
"Mom says my progress in controlling them is all right. At this rate, there won't be any problems before I reach Soul Saint, at least."
"But Mom insists that, at the Soul Saint stage, I have to possess a divine body and divine soul capable of bearing divine rings."
Phantylia scratched his head. This step was troublesome. In fact, he had already prepared to sacrifice his avatar if he got stuck here.
When the time came, he would have his main body's two innate talents, undying soul spirit and undying body, brute-force their way through this stage!
"Reaching the divine level at Soul Saint..."
"That's my baby!"
Qian Lingsu clenched her delicate hands. With talent like that, even if Phantylia hadn't suited her tastes, she would still have had to try courting him!
She was already imagining herself borrowing Phantylia's might in the future, wielding the Angel God Sword to hack at the Asura God!
