Qian Daoliu felt stifled.
He tried calling out to the Angel God in his heart, over and over, but received no response at all.
Ji Xuanyuan had long since sealed off this entire realm.
His calls could not reach the Divine Realm.
Many people unaffiliated with Spirit Hall also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Di Tian say that their past would not be held against them.
Most were not devout believers.
But in their daily lives, they occasionally offered a casual prayer for peace of mind.
"May the Angel God bless me with a successful Soul Hunting trip."
"May the Angel God bless me with a big, plump baby boy."
They were just things they said in passing.
They would truly feel wronged if they were held accountable for such scattered thoughts.
Fortunately, the Human Emperor was merciful.
He would not pursue the matter.
"Dear, we can rest easy now."
Everyone felt completely reassured, their hearts filled with joy.
Sea God Island.
Even the Sea God's believers here showed a flicker of emotion in their eyes.
Perhaps going to the Human Emperor World was not out of the question?
Just as people's hearts began to waver.
Sea Horse Douluo swiftly landed before the crowd, his tone stern.
"The Human Emperor World is an enemy of the Divine Realm."
"We are all the Sea God's people. We must live up to his expectations, remain true to our hearts, and resist the temptations of the Human Emperor World."
"Those who speak of the Human Emperor without permission will be unable to return to the Sea God's embrace after death!"
The entire crowd fell silent. No one dared say another word.
The Sea God's embrace?
In the past, it had been a source of pride for them.
But after seeing real Gods, they had discovered that being a God was merely a position.
And their Sea God had actually passed his God Position to a soul from another world beyond the Douluo Continent. Was that not a betrayal of their Douluo Continent?
Would the future Sea God still protect them?
They did not know.
But in many hearts, their steadfast devotion to the Sea God quietly faded a little.
Human Emperor World.
Human Emperor Hall.
Bibi Dong watched Ji Xuanyuan on the raised dais, gritting her teeth.
This man.
She had been the first to gain a deep understanding of him.
She still remembered how, when she first began observing, the system had assigned her the identity of the Human Emperor's bedchamber maid.
Outrageous.
The Human Emperor was handsome and powerful, the ideal partner in many people's eyes.
But she did not need one!
From now on, living alone would be enough for her.
Qian Daoliu stepped out from the side and spoke respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Human Emperor."
"May I ask why we have all been summoned here?"
Ji Xuanyuan lowered his eyes and said mildly, "Did Di Tian not tell you why you were summoned?"
"The Divine Realm is my enemy."
"By worshipping the Divine Realm, you set yourselves against me."
"Your Majesty, please see the truth!"
Qian Daoliu's nerves tightened, and he hurriedly bowed to explain.
"We are merely a mortal organization. We have not contacted the Angel God for many years, nor have we ever taken part in the Divine Realm's disputes."
"Please show mercy, Your Majesty, and forgive our unwitting offense."
Ji Xuanyuan chuckled and cut his defense short.
"An unwitting offense?"
"Whether it was unwitting or not, a sweep of my thoughts will distinguish truth from falsehood."
His eyes turned purple, and the power of fortune unique to the Human Emperor enveloped everyone's bodies.
"Those whose bodies glow are believers in Gods or have close ties to them. Those who do not glow are ordinary people."
"As long as you sever your ties with the Divine Realm from now on, your past deeds need not be pursued."
Everyone waited anxiously for their fate.
They lit up!
A scant handful of lights appeared on a few people, while most showed no change at all.
Everyone exchanged glances. Once they saw how few there were, they first sighed in relief, then could not help secretly laughing.
So few.
So everyone was the same.
Then there was no need to feel guilty.
Qian Daoliu turned his head. At the sight of those scattered lights, he froze on the spot.
Third Brother, Fourth Brother...
The veteran Titled Douluos in the hall.
Normally, every other word out of their mouths was the Angel God, and they never missed a worship ceremony.
Yet now, there was not the slightest light of faith on their bodies.
Every one of them had betrayed the Angel God.
"Big Brother, I'm sorry!"
"I thought I was a believer, but it just won't light up!"
Mighty Lion Douluo lowered his head in shame. He truly considered himself a believer, but the Human Emperor thought otherwise!
Then so be it.
Lion thought it over again and realized that his belief in the Angel God was more a matter of form than something that reached deep into his heart.
"Fourth Brother!"
Qian Daoliu's eyes were desolate. When those ordinary people betrayed the Angel God, he had been angry, but not heartbroken.
Only this time.
When he saw that, apart from Jin E, none of the Worship Hall elders he had spent over a hundred years with were actually believers in the Angel God.
Grief surged over him like a tide.
"So be it."
"If Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, and the others were here, they would surely stand with me!"
Qian Daoliu gathered himself, his voice tinged with coldness as he deliberately distanced himself from these people.
[Douluo Ghost Douluo: Great Enshrined, Qian Jun Douluo, Demon Subduing Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo were all killed by Chen Xin!]
The sudden message dealt Qian Daoliu another blow.
"Fine, fine, fine!"
"What a Sword Douluo Chen Xin! He is even more imposing than his father and grandfather, daring to kill members of my Worship Hall!"
Qian Daoliu's fury soared to the heavens.
Had he thrown off all restraint because he thought I was coming to another world?
He resolved to eliminate him once he returned and avenge this grudge.
[Douluo Continent Section]
[Sword Douluo actually killed people from Spirit Hall? Isn't he afraid of Angel Douluo taking revenge?]
[So strong! Those were three Titled Douluos!]
[A serious analysis of Sword Douluo's strength:
1. He is now level 97, but his actual combat strength is definitely at level 98, or even the peak of level 98.
2. With the enhancement from Ning Fengzhi, an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, he possesses at least level 99 strength.]
[Holy crap, doesn't that mean the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is no weaker than Spirit Hall?]
[The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is badass!]
Ning Fengzhi watched the various comments discussing them, his expression calm.
Just as they said, they were no longer what they once had been.
Although they might not necessarily defeat a Limit Douluo, they could at least contend with one.
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I'll remember you!"
Qian Daoliu's face was cold, his expression sinister.
Just as he fought.
His pupils contracted. A faint glow was clearly visible on Bibi Dong's body.
Such a bright glow, almost as strong as mine. Could it... could Bibi Dong actually be Spirit Hall's most devout believer?
Qian Daoliu was both shocked and doubtful.
Then what did all those days of persistence amount to?
"Those bearing the faint glow of faith need not worry either. You need only wait here until the observation period ends."
"Alternatively, you may leave whenever your light fades."
"Everyone else may leave on their own."
Overjoyed, everyone hurried to offer their thanks, scrambling to be first.
"Thank you, Human Emperor!"
"The Human Emperor is merciful!"
Qian Daoliu stole a glance at Ji Xuanyuan on the dais. He did not dare speak, huddling like a quail.
He had been watching the Sky Screen for two months.
He also understood how formidable the person above was, an existence who had created a Divine Realm with his own hands.
Although he thought the other man was indulging in wild fantasies, he did not dare let his thoughts wander at this moment.
What if he noticed?
The Human Emperor knows everything.
The sight of Tang Hao being reduced to ashes still lingered in his mind, never fading.
