"I can't stay here anymore. These idiots are beyond saving. If I stay any longer, I'll turn into an idiot too!!"
Qian Daoliu stared at the idiots, his face covered in cold sweat, feeling that something was terribly wrong with the atmosphere here.
He hurriedly grabbed his idiot grandson and immediately shot into the sky.
He truly didn't dare stay among that fanatical crowd any longer, afraid that his idiot grandson might say or do something shocking again.
"I'm saved!!"
After returning to Qian Renxing's Holy Son Palace, Qian Daoliu finally sighed in relief. "Those idiots are even more idiotic than my grandson. Whenever I think about Spirit City being full of idiots like them, I lose all hope for the future of my Spirit Hall..."
"Grandpa, why did you drag me away? I still wanted to enjoy my followers' worship! Take me back right now!"
Qian Renxing spoke anxiously. This concerned whether he could become a god. "If I become a god someday, I'll definitely take you to the Divine Realm with me. You are my rich grandpa, after all!"
"Uh... why do I suddenly feel a little touched?!"
Hearing Qian Renxing's words, Qian Daoliu felt warmth in his heart.
He suddenly understood a little of how those idiots felt. If Xiao Xing could become a god and take him to the Divine Realm as well, he truly would be a good holy grandson, wise and righteous, unmatched in filial devotion and loyalty!
Wait, why have I become an idiot too? My grandson is an idiot! How could an idiot possibly become a god?!
Suddenly, Qian Daoliu came to his senses. His grandson was an idiot!
Although he had innate full Soul Power, and his Martial Soul was a never-before-seen tricycle that shot off at tremendous speed whenever he rode it.
But his idiot grandson hadn't even refined a single Soul Ring yet. Not only did he not know how to refine Soul Rings, he didn't even know how to cultivate!
An idiot like that becoming a god would be like seeing a ghost. No, even seeing a ghost would be a little easier!!
Qian Daoliu gripped Qian Renxing's shoulders and said earnestly, "Listen, Xiao Xing. You have to keep your feet firmly on the ground in life!"
"If you want to become a god, you have to diligently cultivate your Soul Power, hunt soul beasts, and refine Soul Rings. Only after you've refined nine Soul Rings, become a Titled Douluo, and cultivated to rank ninety-nine should you collect faith to become a god, or seek an inheritance left behind by a deity of the Divine Realm and complete the divine examinations to become a god, rather than dreaming of ascending to heaven in a single step!!"
"Oh-ho, so as long as I cultivate Soul Power, refine Soul Rings, and collect faith or obtain a deity's inheritance, I can become a god?!"
Qian Renxing grew excited. "Grandpa, I already have followers now. That means I only need nine Soul Rings to become a god! Soul Rings, Soul Rings! I'm going to refine nine Soul Rings and become a god right now!!"
"Hahahaha, Xiao Xing, you can't just refine Soul Rings whenever you want!"
Qian Daoliu felt gratified. He had finally guided this idiot grandson onto the right path. "For example, you're rank ten now, so you can already refine your first Soul Ring. Only then can you continue breaking through. Once you've cultivated to rank twenty, you'll be able to refine your second Soul Ring."
"You haven't even reached rank ninety-nine yet. It's far too early for you to think about becoming a god, and those few followers you have now aren't enough for you to become a god through faith!"
"You should know that one of our Qian Family's ancestors was the Angel God. According to legend, the Angel God collected the power of faith for a full thousand years before becoming a god!"
"What? It takes a thousand years of collecting the power of faith to become a god?!!"
Qian Renxing paled in shock. He had thought that having followers would let him become a god, and immediately grew dejected. "Becoming a god... becoming a god is so hard..."
"Uh, Xiao Xing, our Qian Family actually holds the Angel God's inheritance. You can try the path of inheriting a divine seat to become a god."
Seeing Qian Renxing so dejected, Qian Daoliu couldn't bear it and comforted him again.
"Oh, oh! I'm going to become the Angel God!!"
Qian Renxing immediately cheered up. "Grandpa, Grandpa, I want to inherit the Angel God's divine seat right now! I want to become the Angel God!"
"Ah, well, I forgot to tell you. It seems you can't inherit our Qian Family's divine seat of the Angel God."
Something suddenly occurred to Qian Daoliu. "Throughout the generations, the members of our Qian Family have always awakened the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. That's a god-level Martial Soul! But the Martial Soul you awakened was a tricycle, so you've already lost the qualification to inherit the Angel God's divine seat..."
"Then doesn't that mean I can only become a god through faith?"
Qian Renxing grew anxious. "There's no time! I have to go collect faith right now. I have to collect it for a full thousand years! If I'm late, I won't be able to become a god!!"
"I'm going to make big news and have everyone in the world believe in me!!"
"If one big piece of news isn't enough, I'll make two! If two aren't enough, I'll make a hundred! One day, I, Qian Renxing, will make everyone in the world my follower! I, Qian Renxing, will climb one step, one step, one step at a time to the very top and become a god!!"
Qian Renxing was fired up!!!
Wait, Xiao Xing, what big news are you going to make? What is big news? Why do I suddenly have an ominous feeling? Whatever it is, it definitely won't be anything good, right? This feels ten thousand times scarier than those earlier rumors about me being impotent!!
Qian Daoliu was beside himself with panic. "Xiao Xing, what I mean is, besides becoming a god through faith, there's also the path of inheriting a divine seat. Even if you can't inherit the Angel God's inheritance, you can look for another deity's inheritance. Stop fixating on becoming a god through faith!"
"I know of two widely known godhood inheritances that are still there and haven't been inherited by anyone else."
Qian Daoliu spoke hurriedly, afraid that his idiot grandson would cause some other heaven-defying incident to collect faith and become a god.
His century of unsullied reputation, his lifetime of renown, the reputation his Qian Family had accumulated over generations-he couldn't let it all be destroyed in a single stroke at his hands!!
"What? There are two more godhood inheritances? Tell me, Grandpa! Tell me now!!"
Qian Renxing spoke anxiously. "Once I become a god, I'll definitely take you into the Divine Realm, Grandpa! Don't you want to go to the Divine Realm?!! If I can't become a god, you won't be able to go to the Divine Realm. I'll have no choice but to inherit the position of Supreme Pontiff, and the most I'll be able to do for you in the future is burn pictures of beautiful girls as offerings. You'll definitely be very lonely after you die, won't you!"
"Wait, why would I definitely be lonely after I die? Don't burn any pictures of beautiful girls for me! I really don't need them!!"
Seeing how anxious Qian Renxing was, Qian Daoliu didn't keep him guessing. "Of those two divine seats' inheritances, one is only suspected to be a deity's inheritance. It's in the legendary Slaughter City. It's uncertain which god's inheritance it is, but it's definitely a god of slaughter. The other is on Sea God Island, and it's the Sea God's inheritance!"
"To inherit a divine seat, you have to pass the deity's nine great divine examinations. Only then can you become a god. Before that, focus on cultivating properly and becoming a rank ninety-nine Peerless Douluo first!"
"Ah, I still have to pass nine great trials? What a hassle."
Qian Renxing muttered quietly, "Looking at it that way, collecting faith to become a god is still a little easier. It just takes a little longer."
Wait, why are you still thinking about that damned faith-based godhood of yours? Was everything I just said wasted breath? Didn't any of it work at all?!
Seeing that he still hadn't managed to change Qian Renxing's mind, Qian Daoliu felt numb. His lifetime of renown, his century of unsullied reputation, were just like a dying candle in the wind.
