Qian Daoliu watched the sky screen, his lips trembling.
The future hope of their Spirit Hall, the heir of the Angel God.
She went to that so-called Great Thousand World, and in the end she only qualified to be a servant girl for someone else?
This was even more uncomfortable for them than being killed!
"The Great Desolation Divine Realm..."
"How dare you!"
As Qian Renxue was dragged away.
The scenes of the second batch of explorers also finally welcomed a brief pause.
Five people, three dead and one suppressed.
This survival rate, tragic to the extreme, thoroughly woke up the people on the Douluo Continent who had previously still held fantasies about the Great Thousand World.
The scene shifted.
When Qian Renxue opened her eyes again, the scene before her completely caused this proud daughter of heaven, who had always held herself in high regard, to lose the ability to think entirely.
She saw herself being brought by the black-robed elder into a vast and boundless universe of starry sky!
Looking out, countless floating immortal islands, so massive they rivaled the entire Douluo Continent, were quietly suspended within this starry sky.
On each immortal island there were flying waterfalls and flowing springs, ethereal immortal sounds, and all kinds of divine trees and strange flowers radiating astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations vying in beauty.
And what felt most shocking of all was this.
The spiritual energy in this space actually reached a degree of concentration where it turned into a liquid state!
One after another, silver long rivers converged from pure spiritual energy surged endlessly in the starry sky, spanning thousands of miles and nourishing all living things.
"Screech!"
Right at that moment, a cry of a bird, clear and piercing enough to split gold and stone, suddenly came from the nine heavens.
Qian Renxue subconsciously raised her head to look.
She saw an ancient divine bird with its double wings spread out to a full tens of thousands of zhang in size, its entire body burning with a nine-colored radiant glow, pulling an archaic bronze storied ship and rumbling right across the star river.
Even if that divine bird only leaked a trace of aura unintentionally, it caused the soul power within Qian Renxue's body to stop operating completely, as if it could collapse at any moment.
"That is a spiritual bird responsible for transporting spirit veins for the Great Desolation Divine Realm; do not disturb it."
The black-robed elder perceived Qian Renxue's terror and only reminded her indifferently.
Hearing these words, Qian Renxue only felt a bout of the world spinning.
That kind of terrifying divine beast with a body blocking the sky and sun, its aura countless times surpassing her grandfather Qian Daoliu, was actually only responsible for doing coolie work here transporting cargo?
Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent, within the Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu looked at the vast and boundless Great Desolation Divine Realm in the sky screen, as well as that spiritual energy long river spanning the starry sky, and the whole person also collapsed limply onto the chair.
This peerless Douluo, who was hailed as invincible in the sky, at this moment no longer had the previous anger in his eyes.
Replacing it was a kind of deep helplessness.
"The Divine Realm... is this the true domain of the gods?"
Qian Daoliu's lips trembled as old tears streamed down his face.
He had always thought that the Divine Realm of the Douluo Continent was the peak of the universe and that the Angel God was a supreme existence.
Yet now, after witnessing the tip of the iceberg of this Great Desolation Divine Realm, he despairingly discovered that the deities he had devoutedly believed in for a lifetime probably did not even count as a slightly larger ant in the eyes of those kinds of vast upper-plane mighty figures.
Letting Xue'er go to such a place to be a maidservant perhaps... truly was climbing high to befriend someone of superior status.
Inside the Pope's Hall.
Bibi Dong also dejectedly loosened the pope's scepter in her hand, letting it drop to the ground with her face filled with bitterness.
"We fought for power and schemed against each other on this continent for decades..."
"Only to find out that there are people beyond people and heavens beyond the sky."
At Shrek Academy, on the playground.
Tang San's pair of Purple Demon Eyes had already dimmed down.
His forehead was covered with dense, fine cold sweat, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists, yet he could no longer utter a single arrogant word.
"That level of spiritual energy long river, that handwriting spanning the starry sky..."
Tang San swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart filled with terror.
"The ancient texts of the Tang Sect of his previous life never recorded such a terrifying realm."
"Before experts like this who can casually tear the void apart, my hidden weapons probably couldn't even harm a single hair."
Similarly, even the child of destiny Tang San felt for the first time in this world how small and insignificant he was.
The Great Thousand World, the Great Desolation Divine Realm.
The black-robed elder brought Qian Renxue down beside a verdant pool of water on one of the immortal islands.
This pool covered a vast area, and the pool water presented a crystalline and translucent milky white, with dense immortal mist hovering on the water surface.
Around the pool, several maidservants dressed in white clothes were standing.
Qian Renxue was shocked to find that these maidservants holding jade plates and towels each emitted an aura that was not inferior in the slightest to a Titled Douluo of the Douluo Continent!
"Deacon Yun."
Seeing the black-robed elder land, the several maidservants also respectfully bowed and saluted.
"Mm."
The black-robed elder nodded slightly and pointed at Qian Renxue behind him.
"This girl was brought back from a lower plane; her bone age is acceptable, and she carries a trace of faint power of light within her body."
"Put her into the Marrow-Washing Pool to wash away that body full of miscellaneous lower-realm turbid Qi."
"Once her spirit root is reshaped, let her stay in the outer hall to be a maidservant who adds incense and wipes swords."
"Yes."
A leading white-robed maidservant walked over, her gaze calm as she looked Qian Renxue up and down.
There was neither disdain nor amazement, just like looking at an ordinary, commonplace utensil.
"Follow me."
Qian Renxue had already thoroughly recognized reality at this moment; she did not make any more futile resistance.
In a place where even the maidservants had the strength of Titled Douluo, her bit of young master temper appeared so laughable.
She obediently stripped off her outer garments and walked into that milky-white Marrow-Washing Pool.
"Hum!"
The moment she entered the water, Qian Renxue felt a domineering yet vitality-filled terrifying energy instantly drill through her pores and into her limbs and bones!
"Ugh!"
Qian Renxue let out a painful muffled groan as that energy was barbarously destroying the soul power within her body that she had originally been proud of.
In the view of the laws of the Great Desolation Divine Realm, the soul power of the Douluo Continent was as turbid and filthy as the sludge of a sewer.
The milky-white pool water rolled.
The soul rings within Qian Renxue's body were forced out one by one, and subsequently, under the purification of the pool water, they transformed into wisps of green smoke and dissipated.
Following that, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul behind her was also forcefully dragged out.
Under the marvelous creation of the Marrow-Washing Pool, that illusory martial soul actually began to merge with her physical body.
This was the most basic marrow-washing and bone-cleansing of the Great Thousand World, discarding the false and retaining the true!
Watching Qian Renxue experiencing a rebirth within the sky screen.
The crowd of the Douluo Continent not only failed to feel pity, but instead exposed unconcealable envy in their eyes one after another.
What did it matter if one's soul power was crippled?
As long as one could soak in that kind of immortal pool water and transform into the pure spiritual energy of the Great Thousand World, even if it meant going to be a maidservant pouring tea and serving water for others.
That was also a soaring path to heaven in a single step and attaining eternal life!
At this time, the Great Thousand World.
In the deepest part of the Great Desolation Divine Realm, upon a suspended immortal island shrouded by endless chaotic fog.
There was no such prosperity and commotion as the outside world here.
What existed was only a boundless and transcendent aura of sitting high in the nine heavens and overlooking ages of eternity.
In the center of the immortal island, beneath an ancient divine tree massive enough to obscure the star river.
A youth dressed in white, with peerless handsome features yet a temperament fathomless like an abyss, was lazily leaning against a couch.
He casually toyed with a white jade chess piece refined from an entire star in his hand, his expression as calm as water.
This white-robed youth was precisely the supreme giant who now shook the entire Great Thousand World, whom even ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns had to bow down and worship.
The Great Desolation Divine Lord, Su Changqing!
And below the couch.
An old man dressed in a purple-gold robe with nine star rivers embroidered on his chest was kneeling on one knee, not even daring to raise his head.
If the sect masters of other factions in the Great Thousand World saw this old man, they would definitely be frightened into immediate leg-softening on the spot.
Because this old man was the grand steward of the Great Desolation Divine Realm, and his cultivation had long since reached the terrifying mighty realm of an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign!
Yet at this moment, this mighty hegemon who shook entire realms behaved just like the humblest old servant as he reported softly.
"Reporting to Lord Divine Lord."
"That Supreme Nine-Nether Immortal Lotus sent by that Martial Ancestor of the Martial Realm has already been planted by your subordinate in the Creation Star Pool in the back mountain of our Divine Realm, exactly as you ordered."
Speaking of this, the purple-robed old man could not help sighing with emotion.
"I must say, the Martial Realm's gesture this time is indeed not small."
"The moment that immortal lotus entered the pool, it directly devoured and exhaled starlight energy spanning tens of thousands of miles, and even faintly gave birth to the patterns of the laws of the Great Dao."
"If it is further irrigated with starlight water for another thousand years, I'm afraid it can once again nurture a peerless sacred artifact for our Divine Realm."
Upon hearing the old man's report, Su Changqing on the couch also nodded slightly.
"That fellow Lin Dong is certainly willing to spend capital."
Only to see the corner of his mouth hook into a faint arc, and he casually tossed that star chess piece into a side chess basket.
"Since it has been planted, let us see how well it grows."
As his voice fell, Su Changqing made no extra movements whatsoever, and did not even fully open his eyes.
Merely a trace of imperceptible divine sense, like a wisp of clear breeze, instantly crossed endless space and landed directly inside the Creation Star Pool in the back mountain.
Under his divine sense's perception.
An immortal lotus exuding nine-colored cold light all over its body was quietly rooted at the bottom of the star pool, with profound law halos swirling upon every single petal.
Just as the old man said, it was not only growing perfectly, but was even several parts more luxuriant than it had been in the Martial Realm.
Su Changqing glanced at it casually, feeling somewhat satisfied, and prepared to withdraw his divine sense.
Yet at the very instant his divine sense retreated and swept past the outer immortal mountain of the Divine Realm.
His gaze also inadvertently swept across that cleansing pool provided for odd-job workers to wash the marrow and cleanse the bones.
"Oh?"
On the couch, Su Changqing also let out a faint sound of surprise.
In his perception, inside the cleansing pool, a girl of peerless beauty had her eyes closed, silently enduring the cleansing of the pool water.
And behind her, six illusory, pure white wings were gradually merging into her flesh and blood.
"An energy bloodline mixed with a trace of mutated laws of light?"
"This is..."
"Qian Renxue?"
Su Changqing raised his brows slightly, a rare flash of astonishment crossing his eyes.
He could naturally perceive that the energy system within this Douluo girl's body was extremely inferior, completely the most substandard murky qi of those lower planes.
Yet precisely within the source of this bloodline, a trace of imperceptible light attribute lay hidden.
Such a contrast was indeed slightly interesting.
Yet it was merely a little interesting after all.
Only to see the astonishment in Su Changqing's eyes linger for less than half a second before it completely turned into utter calm and indifference.
The Great Thousand World was vast and boundless; what kind of extraordinary talents and monsters had he not seen?
Back then, when he massacred his way through the Otherworldly Demons Army and swept across the lower planes, he had even blasted apart supreme beings possessing the bloodline of Chaos Gods and Demons with a single punch.
A mere person hailing from a lower plane bore no essential difference from the weeds by the roadside in the eyes of a Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign like him.
Su Changqing directly withdrew his divine sense, never casting another look at Qian Renxue in the cleansing pool.
"Lord Divine Lord, is there any instruction?"
Hearing that sound of surprise from Su Changqing, the purple-robed old man kneeling below also hurriedly raised his head and inquired cautiously.
"No matter, I merely saw a newly arrived odd-job worker."
Only to see Su Changqing lazily roll over, his tone so flat that it lacked the slightest ripple, as if he were merely discussing a fallen leaf.
"Since the Martial Realm has sent such a generous gift, our Great Desolation Divine Realm naturally cannot lose our sense of propriety."
"Make a trip to the inner treasury."
"Fetch three drops of Primordial Chaos Ancestral Dragon Marrow, pick two more high-grade sacred artifacts, and send them to the Martial Realm as a return gift."
Upon hearing the words "Primordial Chaos Ancestral Dragon Marrow", even the purple-robed old man at the Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign level could not help drawing in a sharp breath.
That was a supreme treasure capable of making even Heavenly Sovereigns turn green with envy!
A single random drop flowing out into the outside world could trigger a bloody storm sweeping across the entire Great Thousand World!
His own Lord Divine Lord was actually giving away three drops so casually?
Yet the purple-robed old man dared not ask more; he merely lowered his head hastily, deep reverence pervading his tone.
"Understood, this subordinate will go and attend to it right away!"
At the same time, the people of the Douluo Continent were faintly catching a glimpse of this unbelievable scene through the corner of the sky screen.
Upon hearing that the legendary Great Desolation Divine Lord had merely glanced at Qian Renxue casually and then withdrawn his gaze with complete indifference,
Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong within Spirit Hall only felt a suffocating tightness in their chests.
That was the god-given descendant of their Spirit Hall, encountered once in ten thousand years!
In the eyes of that Lord Divine Lord, she was truly considered merely a newly arrived odd-job worker, and lacked even the qualification to warrant a second glance?
And when they heard of the so-called "Primordial Chaos Ancestral Dragon Marrow", the soul masters of the entire Douluo Continent forgot even how to breathe.
Though they did not know what kind of object that truly was.
A treasure capable of making a purple-robed old man whose aura reached such a terrifying degree feel shocked was bound to be some peerless rarity.
The Great Thousand World, the periphery of the Great Desolation Divine Realm.
Inside the cleansing pool.
The milk-white pool water boiled like a raging fluid, continuously churning up countless tiny bubbles.
Only to see Qian Renxue close her eyes tightly, her peerless countenance covered in an expression of agony, yet she bit down hard on her crimson lips, refusing to let herself emit a single cry of pain.
This was a reshaping of body and soul.
The twenty levels of Innate Full Soul Power within her body-which countless people in the Douluo Continent regarded as a divine blessing and revered as top-tier talent-were undergoing the fierce scouring of the tyrannical pool water at this moment, transforming into traces of pitch-black, foul-smelling impurities and turbid qi that were forcibly expelled from her body through her pores!
Accompanied by the ruthless stripping away of those black turbid qi, replacing them was a pure and vast, brand-new power capable of resonating with heaven and earth, which surged madly into her limbs and bones.
That was the spiritual energy of the Great Thousand World!
