Hearing Lin Mo directly expose her identity, Qian Renxue gave a stiff smile, feigning ignorance. " Lin Mo, what are you talking about? I don't understand. What Brother Xue?"
Qian Renxue's acting this time was noticeably better than last night.
His voice carried just the right amount of confusion, and his face still wore that gentle smile that Lin Mo knew so well, as if Lin Mo had really mistaken him for someone else.
But deep within those golden eyes, a barely Frisk of panic still flickered.
Unbeknownst to Qian Renxue, she even subconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt.
Clearly, Qian Renxue had never expected Lin Mo to so bluntly expose her deeply hidden disguise.
Lin Mo watched Qian Renxue's performance with great interest, simply observing her quietly.
After a moment, Lin Mo slowly spoke, "Do I need to make myself clearer, Brother Xue Qinghe?"
He paused, his tone becoming slightly teasing. "Or would it be more appropriate for me to address you as His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven Dou? Are you more comfortable with that title?"
Lin Mo's voice was calm, but when his words reached Qian Renxue's ears, they were like a thunderclap.
Having her identity exposed by Lin Mo Qian Renxue had no intention of continuing to pretend.
She took a deep breath, her full chest rising and falling slightly, forcing herself to calm down.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, looked down at Lin Mo, and the panic in her golden eyes was gone, replaced by calmness.
"How did you know my identity?" Her tone was clearly puzzled. "I shouldn't have given myself away..."
"At this stage, Xue Qinghe is dutifully Role Play the role of emperor in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace."
Qian Renxue's tone was full of confusion.
With the excellent disguise effect provided by the Angel God Armor Soul Bone, Qian Renxue was confident that when she met Lin Mo as Xue Qinghe, he would not be able to see through her disguise.
What was Lin Mo's cultivation level at that time? When he last met Lin Mo as Xue Qinghe, Lin Mo's cultivation had just broken through to the Soul Saint level.
Let alone Soul Saint, even Titled Douluo would find it impossible to Detect your disguise!
During the time she returned to Spirit City, Lin Mo had already gone to Sea God Island, making it even less likely that he would discover any flaws.
Even during the time she was away, there were still people guarding the Heaven Dou Empire's palace in her place.
That Substitute Soul Douluo was also skilled at disguise; without careful examination, even Titled Douluo might not be able to Foresight his disguise.
Logically and emotionally, Lin Mo shouldn't have Frisk the flaw.
Qian Renxue stared at Lin Mo, waiting for his answer.
Under the expectant gazes of Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, one old and one young, Lin Mo unexpectedly reached out and tapped his eyes.
" My Body Martial Soul; the special ability 'Illusion Breaking ' attached to the Spirit Eyes can help me see through all disguises and illusions."
Lin Mo said calmly, "Your disguise, though exquisite, is as good as nothing in the face of Illusion Breaking."
"From the first time I saw Xue Qinghe, I knew you weren't a man... Sister Xue!"
Qian Daoliu was stunned for a moment, then his cloudy old eyes suddenly sharpened.
He carefully considered Lin Mo's words. " Body Martial Soul, Body Sect..."
These two words echoed repeatedly in his mind.
Qian Renxue belatedly realized what was happening and instinctively exclaimed in surprise, " Body Martial Soul? You have Twin Martial Souls Twin Martial Souls, just like Bibi Dong?"
Her voice was filled with shock and disbelief.
She thought she knew Lin Mo well enough, that she had seen through this man.
But now she realizes that Lin Mo has hidden far more depths than she imagined.
"Right."
Lin Mo nodded, not hiding anything. "I have two Martial Soul, one is Charizard, and the other is myself."
He didn't explain further, just calmly looked at Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue remained silent for a moment.
After a moment, she looked up and said with relief, "No wonder the sect you founded had such a name; so that's where the reason comes from."
Her gaze towards Lin Mo became even more complicated.
The Body Sect, it really does mean exactly what it says.
All the doubts she had previously held in her heart were now easily resolved.
Presumably, the ability to control water and blood qi originates from Lin Mo's Second Martial Soul.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo smiled but did not offer any further explanation.
He knew perfectly well that while he claimed to be using the special ability of his Body Martial Soul Second Awakening to see Illusion Breaking Qian Renxue 'Qian Renxue identity, it was actually just a rhetoric he used to deceive her.
It was just about finding a suitable reason for himself, a reason that Qian Renxue could accept.
His true method of Foresight Qian Renxue's identity was through his foresight and precognition as a time traveler.
Qian Renxue stared at Lin Mo, remaining silent for a long time.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her, "Since you already knew my true identity, why did you let all of this happen?"
Could it be that they've been targeting me for a while now?
Lin Mo's words brought up many questions that suddenly arose in Qian Renxue's mind.
If Lin Mo already knew her identity when she usurped the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire, and had intended to obstruct her, her plan would certainly not have succeeded.
Given Lin Mo's strength at the time, if she had chosen to side with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, it would have been almost impossible for her to successfully control the Heaven Dou Empire, and the difficulty would have increased dramatically.
But... why did Lin Mo just stand by and watch all of this happen?
Qian Renxue stared at Lin Mo, waiting for his answer.
"Well, if I had to find a reason..."
Lin Mo stared intently into Qian Renxue's golden eyes with his dark gaze, and said sincerely, "That means I don't care. I don't care who sits on the emperor's throne, as long as it doesn't affect me..."
It doesn't matter to me who sits on the dragon throne.
At this point, Lin Mo paused, his tone softening slightly. "If I had to pinpoint a personal reason, it would probably be Sister Xue; you've helped me a great deal."
Hearing this slightly intimate address from Lin Mo again, a blush rose on Qian Renxue's pretty face.
She lowered her head, not daring to meet Lin Mo's gaze.
Her long, golden hair fell down, obscuring her burning cheeks.
Her heart was racing.
Lin Mo did not continue speaking.
He withdrew his gaze, his thoughts drifting away.
At that time, even knowing Qian Renxue's intention to usurp the throne, he had no intention of stopping her.
At that time, he was still weak and did not want to get involved in the conflict between the Heaven Dou Empire Imperial Family and the Spirit Hall.
Taking sides too early will only make you a target.
Moreover, Qian Renxue's help to him was genuine.
Without Qian Renxue's repeated assistance, his cultivation would not have gone so smoothly at that time.
Moreover, Bibi Dong probably won't let him off so easily.
As for the remaining reason, it's probably that Lin Mo would prefer to see the Spirit Hall continue to exist rather than the two great empires.
In his memory, ten thousand years after the destruction of the Spirit Hall, the lives of ordinary people were far worse than they are now.
Not only have the monthly subsidies stopped, but even Martial Soul Awakening has become a luxury for ordinary people.
Even more extreme, people born in remote corners of the Douluo Continent may never even know what Martial Soul is.
This is because Lin Mo was lucky enough to travel back in time to the same era as Tang San.
If he were less lucky and transmigrated to the same era as Huo Yuhao, and then to some remote, obscure place, he might never have known until his death that he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent.
This seemed ridiculous to Lin Mo.
Although the Spirit Hall is domineering, it at least provides ordinary Soul Master with a stable path to advancement.
Of course, the premise for allowing the Spirit Hall to continue to exist is that the Spirit Hall must never become a tool for Bibi Dong to seek revenge or vent her anger.
After being forced to give birth to Qian Renxue by Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong Dong's mind was completely twisted, and the only motivation for her to live was revenge.
Her Payback is not limited to Qian Xunji; her anger is even directed at the Spirit Hall and the entire continent.
It's unclear whether this was Bibi Dong's own idea or a result of her own thoughts being distorted by the Rakshasa Divine Sense after she activated the Rakshasa Inheritance.
Qian Renxue was unaware of Lin Mo's thoughts; she simply lowered her head, her pretty face growing even redder.
Qian Daoliu lightly, breaking the silence.
He stroked his beard and slowly said, "Now that you already know Xiao Xue's other identity, things will be much easier."
He looked at Lin Mo and said in a calm tone, "You have the status of One-Character Prince Equal to the Emperor in the Heaven Dou Empire, and your reputation within the Heaven Dou Empire is quite good."
Lin Mo's reputation within the Heaven Dou Empire Heaven Dou Empire is excellent, thanks to a combination of titles including the One-Character Prince Equal to the Emperor, the captain of the Soul Master Tournament, and the youngest Seven-Ring Soul Sage in history.
This was further fueled by propaganda from the women Lin Mo rescued and the official forces of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The story of Lin Mo rescuing those women from the Wolf Bandits was widely publicized by the Heaven Dou Empire.
The women also spontaneously testified on Lin Mo's behalf, recounting his good deeds.
The news spread like wildfire... Many people learned about Lin Mo's actions, which greatly improved his image among the public, especially among ordinary people.
"I can have Xiao Xue, in her capacity as the Empress of the Heaven Dou Empire, help you promote your reputation within the Heaven Dou Empire, making it easier for you to collect the Power of Faith you need later."
Qian Daoliu's voice echoed in the main hall, resounding with conviction.
" The Heaven Dou Empire has hundreds of millions of citizens. If they all became your followers, it would be an extremely powerful Power of Faith."
"Even if only a portion of the population believes in you, that is enough to sustain you on the path to becoming a god through faith."
After hearing the seemingly generous offer from Qian Daoliu Lin Mo, Lin Mo remained silent for a long time.
He sat there, motionless, as if lost in thought.
Qian Renxue raised her head, stole a glance at Lin Mo, and then quickly lowered her head again.
Qian Daoliu did not urge him, but simply waited quietly.
After a long silence, Lin Mo raised his head, looked down at Qian Daoliu, and said earnestly, word by word, "The conditions offered by the Great Enshrined are far too generous; this junior is unworthy of them..."
His tone was sincere, without a trace of falsehood.
Before Lin Mo could continue speaking, Qian Daoliu waved his hand.
"Given your current relationship with Xiao Xue, these things are enough to put your mind at ease; you don't need to worry about them."
Qian Renxue stood to the side, her cheeks flushing even more upon hearing the word "relationship".
She bit her lip, her long golden hair falling down to cover her burning ears.
Qian Daoliu continued, "However, at this stage, this is all the help we can offer you in terms of the Power of Faith."
Regarding the Spirit Hall Empire, I had an agreement with Bibi Dong that I would not interfere in the affairs of the Spirit Hall and her.
At this point, Qian Daoliu's tone suddenly turned serious. "Moreover, Bibi Dong is far too dangerous. Even for you, I wouldn't recommend that you plot against the Spirit Hall Empire because of the Power of Faith..."
Bibi Dong, that woman is too dangerous!
"As for the Star Luo Empire..."
Qian Daoliu paused for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly. "According to the information I've received recently, the Star Luo Empire is in considerable chaos."
"If you have such ideas, you can simply end the chaos in the Star Luo Empire and establish yourself as king."
His voice carried a hint of seduction. "With your current strength, doing this isn't difficult."
Qian Daoliu has recently received some news about the Star Luo Empire.
It seems that with Tang Chen's help, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire successfully completed the change of emperor.
However, the new emperor's policies seem extremely harsh, with severe tyranny, extremely strict laws, and severe punishments for minor offenses; the slightest carelessness could result in a death sentence.
As a result, everyone in the Star Luo Empire is now living in fear, from royalty and nobles to ordinary citizens.
They didn't lack the will to resist; they simply couldn't.
The new emperor, supported by Tang Chen and the Clear Sky Sect, is unstoppable.
Those who attempted to resist were either suppressed or purged.
The court of the Star Luo Empire was filled with the new emperor's men.
Anyone who disobeys will be killed!
Those who disobey, kill!
Anyone harboring disloyal intentions shall be killed!
The three words "kill" turned the entire Star Luo Empire upside down.
Lin Mo: "Even if the Great Enshrined hadn't said anything, I would still have made a trip to the Star Luo Empire."
"Before leaving Sea God Island, I promised Senior Bo Saixi that I would send Senior Tang Chen to see her before she died."
Lin Mo's tone was calm, but the word "death" was exceptionally clear.
Upon hearing the word Lin Mo deliberately emphasized in his tone, Qian Daoliu's expression underwent a noticeable change for a moment.
Lin Mo and Qian Renxue noticed this detail.
Qian Renxue assumed that her grandfather was simply feeling uneasy after hearing about the impending demise of a powerful figure of their time, and did not think much of it.
She looked at Qian Daoliu and said softly, "Grandpa, isn't Senior Bo Saixi about the same age as you?"
Qian Daoliu nodded without saying anything more.
Lin Mo knew the answer, but didn't say anything.
For him, whether it was for Bo Saixi's request or for the Asura God Godhood, the Star Luo Empire was a place he would never go.
As for Qian Daoliu's claim about establishing himself as king in the Star Luo Empire to facilitate the collection of Power of Faith, that's completely unnecessary.
If necessary, he could simply support a new Star Luo Emperor here, just as Tang San supported Dai Mubai to become the Star Luo Emperor.
There was absolutely no need for him to personally take the field.
Being an emperor is too troublesome; you have to manage state affairs, balance various forces, and deal with all sorts of open and covert attacks.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo subconsciously looked up at Qian Daoliu.
In his eyes, Qian Daoliu was no longer the Peak Douluo, but rather an old man on his deathbed.
Lin Mo couldn't see any of the spiritedness or vigor that a Level 99 Peak Douluo should have in him.
In his view, Qian Daoliu's actions over the past two days seemed more like entrusting his son to a caretaker.
He had long been prepared to die for Qian Renxue's ascension to godhood, but he had never considered whether Qian Renxue would be willing to accept this fact.
For a child who lost her father and mother at a young age, how devastating would it be if she lost her grandfather in the future because of her own actions? Qian Daoliu Qian Renxue never to have considered this.
Lin Mo withdrew his gaze and sighed inwardly.
Qian Renxue still doesn't know that the day she became a god was the same day her grandfather Sacrifice himself.
I wonder if she can bear this price...
He quickly changed the subject, moving away from the somewhat dull topic.
Looking up at Qian Renxue, he said, "In that case, Sister Xue, why don't you just reveal your true identity and rename the Heaven Dou Empire to the Angel Empire?"
This also saves us from having to sneak around like this now.
" The Heaven Dou Empire has long been under your complete control, hasn't it? From the ministers in the court to the lower-ranking officials under your command..."
His voice carried a hint of amusement. "Aren't you tired of pretending for so long?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
After such a long period of preparation, they had already taken actual control of the Heaven Dou Empire, which is why she wasn't worried about her identity being exposed at all.
Even if it's exposed, so what?
In this world, strength ultimately reigns supreme. Could the people of the Heaven Dou Empire possibly dare to defy her, who controls several high-ranking Titled Douluo?
Her subordinates include the Porcupinefish Douluo, the Snake Lance Douluo, and the various worshippers of the Worship Hall.
These Titled Douluo alone are enough to crush any discordant voices within the Heaven Dou Empire.
Lin Mo continued, "As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School... they should have more or less Frisk your true identity and some irregularities within the empire."
"With the support of the Great Enshrined, even if you reveal your identity, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will absolutely not attempt to confront you head-on."
"I'm sure they'd be happy to join your ranks." Lin Mo's tone was very confident.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded again.
She had already made ample preparations to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Even when Bibi Dong launched the Soul Hunting Operation, she specially wrote a letter to Bibi Dong to inform her that the attack on Seven Treasure was only meant to intimidate him, not to exterminate his entire family.
Thus, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's losses appear to be extremely heavy, the vast majority of those losses were only to outer disciples, while the losses to direct disciples were negligible.
If it weren't for Qian Renxue's interference, and things had gone according to Bibi Dong's original plan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School wouldn't have fared much better than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
It's simply a matter of sending a few more Titled Douluo; the Spirit Hall has no shortage of such Titled Douluo.
Qian Renxue fell into deep thought, a glint of light flashing in her golden eyes.
Lin Mo looked at her, reached into the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse Pouch at his waist, and took out a Immortal Herb lying quietly in a jade box.
The jade box is entirely white jade, crystal clear, and you can see the golden Immortal Herb inside.
The Immortal Herb is entirely golden yellow, with petals layered like those of a tulip, emitting a faint fluorescent glow.
A delicate Qing Ya fragrance wafted from the jade box.
Lin Mo tossed it to Qian Renxue: "This is called Aromatic Silk Beauty, and it is the most suitable celestial herb for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Its greatest effect is that it transforms Seven Treasure into nine treasures.
"When things truly come to a standstill, take out this item. With it, Ning Fengzhi will surely not refuse."
Lin Mo naturally saw through Qian Renxue's intention to win over Ning Fengzhi.
It's likely that the reason this girl had such thoughts was because she still harbored the idea of competing with Bibi Dong.
After all, of the current Seven Great Sects, apart from the Body Sect which ranks first, the other six sects have already pledged allegiance to Bibi Dong's Spirit Hall and are serving her.
Qian Renxue only has the Douluo Hall under her command. While it has enough high-end combat power, its mid-to-low-end combat power is far inferior to that of the Spirit Hall Empire controlled by Bibi Dong.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were to join, it could bring her a large number of mid-to-low-level Soul Master and enormous financial resources.
Qian Renxue took the jade box, looked down at the golden Immortal Herb inside, and her eyes flashed with surprise.
She looked up at Lin Mo, her lips barely moving. "Thank you."
"There's no need for formalities between us," Lin Mo said, shaking his head slightly.
After handing the items to Qian Renxue, Lin Mo turned and bowed slightly to the Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu.
"After I return this time, I will go into seclusion to Dash the Titled Douluo. If the Heaven Dou Empire needs any help, Grandpa and Teacher will lend a hand."
To Qian Renxue's surprise, Qian Daoliu also returned Lin Mo's slight bow.
He straightened up, looked at Lin Mo with a kind but solemn expression, and said, "I'm entrusting Xiao Xue to you from now on."
These words, though spoken lightly, carry immense weight.
Even with Qian Renxue's Oblivious reaction time, she finally realized something was wrong at this bizarre scene.
His grandfather was indeed hiding something from him.
Qian Daoliu noticed her confusion, but simply smiled and offered no explanation.
Lin Mo didn't say anything more.
There are some things he shouldn't be saying.
He turned and walked out of the Douluo Hall.
Qian Renxue watched his retreating figure, subconsciously taking a step forward, wanting to catch up, but then stopped.
She stood there, gazing in the direction Lin Mo had left, her golden eyes filled with complex emotions.
When Lin Mo walked out of the Douluo Hall, it was already dark.
Night fell over Spirit City, with Fire Star in the distance.
He took a deep breath, a thought flashing through his mind.
A flash of red light, and the massive body of the Charizard appeared beside him.
The Charizard growled and nuzzled Lin Mo's hand with its head.
Lin Mo patted its neck, then flipped over and leaped onto the dragon's back.
With a flap of its Dual Wingbeat, the Charizard soared into the air and sped towards Heaven Dou City.
Lin Mo sat on the back of the Charizard, gazing at the distant horizon, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
Although we must go to the Star Luo Empire, we should postpone it for now.
His most important goal at this stage is to break through to the Titled Douluo level.
With his current foundation, once he breaks through, he will surely soar to new heights.
His cultivation level has been stuck at Level 89 for too long; it's time to take that step.
He deserves to be number one in the world!
