"Because I saw it before!"

"I saw Young Master Qian Renxue become the Angel God, clad in Angel God Armor and wielding the divine artifact, the Angel Sacred Sword."

"That divine artifact, the Angel Sacred Sword, is in the Worship Hall!"

"The descent of those nine curtains of light foretold the arrival of Angel's Nine Trials!"

"It signified that the inheritance trial of the Angel God had begun!"

"That scene from my dream was etched into my mind as if carved by knives and axes." Guang Yu looked earnest, solemn, and reverent as he continued, "Great Enshrined, aren't you curious how I knew that Sunset Forest contained such Heavenly Treasures?"

"Because that was also a scene from my dream. I thought it was all false, so I never mentioned that Young Master Qian Renxue could become a god."

"Not until I went to Sunset Forest, saw the scene from my dream, and obtained what I had gained in that dream did I believe it. It is also true that Young Master can become the Angel God!"

Guang Yu's voice echoed through the hall, brimming with conviction, as though everything he said was true.

And it was true to begin with.

It was just that there was truth mixed with falsehood.

"A scene from a dream..." Qian Daoliu was stunned.

It was difficult to believe, yet equally difficult not to believe!

Guang Yu had never left Spirit City, and Spirit Hall had no records of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well or Immortal Herbs in Sunset Forest!

How could a six-year-old child know something that even old men like them, who had lived for a century, did not know?

More importantly—

The fact that the Angel God's divine artifact was in the Worship Hall was a top-secret matter known only to the Great Enshrined of each generation!

And when one accepted God's Trial, curtains of light descended—a sight that only members of the Six-winged Angel clan capable of accepting the trial could see.

All of this made it hard for Qian Daoliu not to believe Guang Yu. He took a deep breath and demanded, "Child! Are you certain everything you said is true!?"

"I swear on my life that Young Master Qian Renxue will surely become the inheritor of the Angel God!"

Guang Yu answered resolutely.

"Good! Good! Send the order! Have Young Master Qian Renxue return home!"

Qian Daoliu was completely stirred up and immediately gave the order.

At that moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly spoke up to stop him. "Wait! Great Enshrined, isn't it too hasty to decide this so quickly?"

Among the Seven Great High Priests, Golden Crocodile Douluo was of a higher generation and older than even Qian Daoliu.

At times, he was the only one who dared oppose Qian Daoliu's decisions. Golden Crocodile Douluo said with a grave expression, "Great Enshrined, I do not deny that what this child Guang Yu said may be true, but not every memory from his dreams necessarily exists in reality like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"

"If Young Master returns because of this but ultimately fails to inherit the Angel God Position, we will not merely lose an infiltration plan that could help Spirit Hall unify the continent."

"It will also disappoint Spirit Hall's upper ranks in Young Master and may even severely damage Young Master's image and reputation."

"If we make Young Master abandon things halfway, only for him to fail to become a god in the end, what will Spirit Hall think of Young Master? How will they be convinced by Young Master? And how will we take the position of Pope back from Bibi Dong and return it to the hands of the Six-winged Angel clan?"

"At that point, what kind of psychological pressure will Young Master face if he cannot inherit the god position?"

A Pope could not simply be removed on a whim.

Spirit Hall had remained powerful and prosperous for over ten thousand years not only because of its strength, but also because of its methods of governance.

If a major faction relied only on absolute strength and authority to suppress its members, without any ability to inspire confidence, doing whatever it pleased, then it could not remain prosperous forever.

"Great Enshrined, Second Worship's words are not without merit!"

At this time, Fourth Grand Elder Mighty Lion Douluo, Sixth Offering, Seventh Offering, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo Douluo also spoke up.

Golden Crocodile Douluo believed that Qian Renxue might not necessarily be able to inherit the Angel God, so there was no need to take this risk.

He felt that Qian Renxue could continue her infiltration. Seizing the imperial power of Heaven Dou would still help Spirit Hall unify the continent.

After taking control of Heaven Dou's imperial power, if Qian Renxue truly could inherit the Angel God, she could return and undergo the Divine Exam then. She could still become a god, only a little later.

That would be more prudent.

However, Qian Daoliu believed Guang Yu's words by seventy or eighty percent.

Keeping Qian Renxue infiltrated in the palace was still too dangerous. Even with Snake Lance and Pufferfish, the two Title Douluo elders, protecting her, once she was exposed, her life would still be in grave danger.

If anything happened to Qian Renxue, then they would lose the Angel God inheritor their Six-winged Angel clan had awaited for over ten thousand years!

To Qian Daoliu, that was more important than anything else.

Yet, as Golden Crocodile Douluo had said, if she failed to become a god, Qian Renxue would suffer immense psychological pressure.

This matter might even become a psychological shadow that haunted Qian Renxue for the rest of her life, affecting both her physical and mental health.

For a moment, Qian Daoliu fell into hesitation.

Just as Qian Daoliu did not know how to choose, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke again. "Great Enshrined, since you cannot make a decision right now, I have a proposal."

"Since Guang Yu was the one who raised this matter, why not leave the final decision in this child's hands?"

"If he can single-handedly kill a five-thousand-year soul beast within half a year, then we will let Young Master return. What do you say?"

Qian Daoliu slowly turned his gaze toward Guang Yu. After a long silence, he asked, "Guang Yu, do you dare accept the task of killing a five-thousand-year soul beast alone within half a year?"

"A five-thousand-year soul beast? A soul beast of that level is at least comparable to a human Soul Ancestor Realm expert."

"Within half a year, my Soul Power will at most reach the Soul Grandmaster Realm."

"In other words, I need to defeat a soul beast with the strength of a Soul Ancestor while still in the Soul Grandmaster Realm." Guang Yu frowned slightly. This demand was difficult. Perhaps he would have to risk his life to accomplish it.

But since Guang Yu had promised Qian Renxue, he would definitely do it.

He would bring her home!

Guang Yu slowly raised his head, his bearing filled with courage and force. "Why wouldn't I dare!!"

"If I cannot do it, how can I put the Worship Elders at ease and make them trust what I said today?"

"Half a year from now, I, Guang Yu, will surely kill a five-thousand-year soul beast alone!"

"I ask that all the Worship Elders choose the target soul beast in advance!"

"Guang Yu will take his leave!"

Guang Yu clasped his hands, turned, and left.

As they watched Guang Yu's small figure depart, the Seven Great High Priests were all stunned. "This brat didn't hesitate at all?"

"Does he know that over the next half year, he will have to train with everything he has just to stand a chance of defeating a five-thousand-year soul beast?"

"Can he really do it?"

At that moment, all the Worship Elders had the same thought in their hearts.

After returning to the backyard of his home, Guang Yu immediately began training. He took out the Sword Manual Qian Daoliu had given him.

He opened the Sword Manual.

Like a martial arts manual from a wuxia novel, it depicted human figures holding swords—thrusting, chopping, slashing, upward strikes, blocking, footwork coordinated with sword swings, sword move combinations, and chained attacks.
