"Forget it, let's not talk about things from so long ago. It's just that my experience is similar to yours. Although I'm not as talented as you, I was still one of the strongest people back then, and I made a name for myself on the continent."
Qian Daoliu spoke in a very relaxed tone, as if he regarded Jun Yi as his own family.
Jun Yi was somewhat disappointed to hear that Qian Daoliu wasn't going to talk about his past. After all, once people start talking about their past, they just can't stop. This way, he could use this time to let the system absorb Divine Power as much as possible. By the time the story was over, the system would probably have recovered pretty much.
" Your Great Enshrined, I am willing to listen," Jun Yi said.
"You are Xue'er's adopted younger brother, so it's not impolite for you to call me Grandpa," Qian Daoliu said calmly.
"Yes, Grandpa Qian."
Upon hearing this address, Qian Daoliu smiled slightly and continued, " Xiao Yi, I've heard Xue'er mention that you have a unique ability, that you can deduce a person's past and relationships just by looking at them. Is that true?"
"You should know something about my past, right?"
"I know some, but not much," Jun Yi replied.
"Then I'll tell you some things you might not know." Qian Daoliu shifted his body, assuming a more comfortable position.
"Do you know why Xue'er's Innate Soul Power reached level 20?" Qian Daoliu asked Jun Yi.
Jun Yi shook his head and replied, "I really don't know. Doesn't Innate Soul Power represent a Soul Master's inherent talent?"
"You're right and wrong. Generally speaking, the highest Soul Master's talent can reach is level 10, which is the pinnacle Soul Master can achieve. But Xue'er is different. Back then, when she Awakening her Martial Soul, I saw that a portion of the power of the Angel God's Godhood was passed down to her, which allowed her to break through the Soul Master's limits and reach Innate Soul Power level 20."
Before Jun Yi could even express his surprise, Qian Daoliu directly asked Jun Yi, "You should know about the God Trial and the Godhood Position, right?"
"I know a little," Jun Yi replied.
"Do you know which exam I took back then?" Qian Daoliu continued to inquire.
After feigning some hesitation, Jun Yi replied, "Given your current situation, you should have passed the Angel Eight Trials back then, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu's smile deepened. "That's exactly what I said to outsiders."
"Could it be that I've guessed wrong?" Jun Yi was very curious. This shouldn't be the case; that's exactly how it was written in the original work.
"You guessed right, I did indeed pass the Angel Eight Trials back then. However, the tests I received were the Angel God Ascension Nine Trials."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Jun Yi's face showed surprise. How could this be?
"Although my talent back then couldn't compare to Tang Chen's, it was actually the highest in the entire history of the Qian Family, second only to the Ancestor and Xue'er. I easily inherited the God Ascension Nine Trials of the Angel God. And just when I had completed the Eighth Trial, my unfilial son suddenly came to me with a baby in his arms, saying that the child was his daughter, my granddaughter."
At this point, Qian Daoliu's tone became somewhat indignant. "At the time, I was very puzzled. My son didn't even have a wife, so where did this daughter come from? When I asked him later, he stammered and looked like he had a guilty conscience. After my investigation, I discovered that Xue'er was actually born from that beast raping his disciple. When I learned this news, I almost beat that beast to death. Our Qian Family has been passed down for over a thousand years. Although some of our descendants have gone astray, even so, rape and kidnapping have never happened in our Qian Family."
"At that time, I was so enraged that if it weren't for the other elders stopping me, that little beast would have been beaten to death by me when Xue'er was just born."
At this point, Qian Daoliu paused, sighed, and continued, "Although Qian Xunji, there is no affection between us. He was born to me, following my father's dying wish, and to a woman I didn't love. Back then, my goal was to surpass Tang Chen and gain Bo Saixi's favor, so I focused all my attention on the God Trial and neglected his education, which led him astray."
"In the end, I also bear responsibility. Reality dealt me a heavy blow, and I suddenly realized my mistake. To prevent my granddaughter from going astray, I directly abandoned the Angel Ninth Trial and decided to keep her by my side, nurturing her as the next Angel God. When I abandoned the Angel Ninth Trial, the Angel God simultaneously bestowed blessings, directly enhancing Xue'er's talent. At that time, many people witnessed the Angel phenomenon appearing in the sky above Spirit City, and it was at that moment that the followers of our Spirit Hall reached their peak."
"Actually, the Angel God once sent a divine message to me, advising me that my talent was sufficient to inherit the Angel Godhood. If I gave up becoming the Angel God's guardian, I might very well sacrifice my Life for the next successor. Upon hearing this, I did not hesitate. At that time, I did not want to see my father sacrifice himself for me, so I chose to take his place and become the new generation's guardian, all so that one day Xue'er could inherit the Angel Godhood. At that time, I could also atone for my unworthy son by sacrificing my own life."
At this point, Qian Daoliu's eyes held a hint of complexity. "As for Xue'er's mother, I know I owe her a debt, so I made her the Pope of the Spirit Hall, hoping to atone for the mistakes my beastly son made. Even though I know this might destroy the Spirit Hall, I still chose to make her the Pope. As for me, I chose to live in seclusion here underground, accompanied by the spirits of the Spirit Hall's heroes and the Angel God Statue."
At this point, Qian Daoliu fell silent, while Jun Yi, who was listening in, was shocked. How could the Spirit Hall so many secrets that even he, who had only read novels, didn't know?
This is outrageous!
Jun Yi originally thought that Qian Daoliu's talent was very average, and he was the weakest of the three in the 99th grade group. However, he did not expect that he had inherited the Angel Nine Trials. But for the sake of his granddaughter, he gave up the Ninth Trial and chose to become the guardian of the Angel God. He also planned to sacrifice his own life to atone for his son's sins. This is too outrageous.
