Qian Renxue left the VIP courtyard and went straight back to the Elder Hall.
She removed her crown prince's court robes and put on a pure white long dress.
With her long hair flowing down, she finally shed the heavy burden of years of pretense.
She walked deeper into the Worship Hall, where Qian Daoliu was sitting in the head seat, his eyes closed in meditation.
"Grandfather."
Qian Renxue said softly.
Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, looked at her, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
" Xue'er is back. How have you been in Heaven Dou all this time?"
"It's alright." Qian Renxue pouted. "It's just that Gu Wuchen is such a jerk."
"He knows everything, yet he acts like it's his right, as if the whole world has to listen to him."
Qian Daoliu smiled and shook his head.
" Wuchen is different. He achieved Dual Godhood at a young age, and his vision and strength far surpass those of ordinary people."
"On the mainland, only he has that qualification."
Qian Renxue snorted but did not refute.
She knew in her heart that what Qian Daoliu said was true.
Gu Wuchen's strength was indeed something she had to admit he was capable of.
Let's not talk about him anymore.
Qian Renxue abruptly changed the subject.
"Grandpa, I've come back this time because I have something important to tell you."
"You've probably heard of Tang San from the Shrek Academy."
Qian Daoliu nodded:
"Yes, Salas has already reported it. He's won seven individual matches in a row and is riding high."
"He's not exactly riding high," Qian Renxue frowned. "His Martial Soul Mutation; it's become Dark Blue Silver Grass."
"It can devour Soul Power and Soul Skill. Even the evolved Jade Phosphor Dragon of Dugu Yan was defeated by him in three moves."
"He's completely changed now. He's surrounded by black mist, and his personality is terrifyingly sinister. No one in Shrek dares to approach him, not even Yu Xiaogang can control him."
Qian Daoliu's smile slowly faded.
"I know all that; it's just Martial Soul Mutation."
"This isn't an ordinary mutation," Qian Renxue quickly said. " Gu Wuchen said it wasn't Martial Soul Mutation; he was chosen by the Dark Deity."
" The Blue Silver Grass is merely a vessel; the true power comes from the Dark Deity. This power will continuously devour his sanity, until he eventually becomes a puppet of the god."
Qian Renxue paused, then added:
"I don't know anything else. Gu Wuchen only said this much, and he didn't tell me anything more. This is just his guess, but I think what he said is probably true."
Qian Daoliu's face instantly darkened.
He sat up abruptly, his gaze becoming extremely serious.
" Dark Deity?"
His voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Qian Renxue nodded:
"Yes, that's what Gu Wuchen said."
Qian Daoliu silent.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, making a dull sound.
The atmosphere in the Worship Hall instantly became oppressive.
Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat when she saw Qian Daoliu's expression.
She had never seen Qian Daoliu so serious.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Are the Dark Deity scary?"
Qian Daoliu spoke slowly, his voice low and deep:
"Terrible. Far more terrifying than you can imagine."
Qian Daoliu spoke slowly, his voice low and deep. "Terrifying. Far more terrifying than you can imagine."
"I have lived for nearly two hundred years, traveled all over the continent, and read countless ancient books, and I have never heard of any Dark Deity."
"There is no related record in the inherited memories of the Angel God."
Qian Renxue's eyes widened:
"Not even a lineage?"
"No." Qian Daoliu shook his head, his expression growing even more grave. "That's the most terrifying part."
"To be called a god, one must possess world-destroying power, yet such an existence left no trace."
Gods
Why was Tang San chosen?
What are they planning to do to the Douluo Continent now?
Countless questions swirled in her mind, sending a chill down her spine.
"If what Gu Wuchen said is true, then Tang San is no simple opponent," Qian Daoliu continued. "He's just a catalyst, a vanguard."
Behind him stands a being we know nothing about.
"We do not know its purpose. We also do not know its strength."
"The most dangerous enemy is the unknown one."
Qian Renxue nodded, her previous ease gone.
She originally thought that Tang San was just a Soul Master who had gained special powers.
As long as Gu Wuchen takes action, the problem can be easily solved.
But now it seems that things are far from that simple.
The appearance of the Dark Deity has exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Then what should we do?" Qian Renxue asked, her tone tinged with panic.
She had never encountered such a completely unknown situation before.
Even my grandfather, who had lived for two hundred years, was helpless.
Qian Daoliu was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"Now, only one person can answer our questions."
Gu Wuchen.
"Since he knows about the existence of the Dark Deity, he must know more details."
"Go to the VIP villa now and find him. Find out the origins of the Dark Deity, their purpose, and how we should deal with them."
Qian Renxue paused for a moment, somewhat reluctantly. "Go see him again?"
She had just returned from Gu Wuchen's place and was still complaining about his nonchalant attitude.
Now she had to humbly ask him questions, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
" Xue'er, this is not the time to be childish," Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice. "This matter concerns the safety of the entire continent."
"If the Dark Deity truly descends, no one will be able to escape unscathed, including the Angel Clan and the Spirit Hall."
" Gu Wuchen is currently the only one who knows the inside story. Whether you like him or not, you must ask him."
Qian Renxue bit her lip.
She knew Qian Daoliu was right.
When it comes to the safety of the mainland, personal likes and dislikes are utterly insignificant.
"I understand." Qian Renxue nodded. "I'll go now."
"Remember, be polite," Qian Daoliu instructed. "Don't get into a conflict with him. Listen to whatever he says first."
"Ask everything you can, especially about the weaknesses of the Dark Deity."
"Yes," Qian Renxue replied, turning and walking out of the Worship Hall.
The sunlight shone on her, but it brought her no warmth.
Her mind was in turmoil.
On one hand, there was her dislike for Gu Wuchen; on the other hand, there was her fear of the Dark Deity.
She had never felt this way before, hoping that Gu Wuchen could reveal more information.
Qian Renxue quickened her pace and headed towards the VIP villa.
She didn't know how much Gu Wuchen would tell her.
But she knew that this was their only hope at the moment.
The Dark Deity shouldn't be strong; Gu Wuchen didn't even take him seriously, so he probably isn't very powerful.
Anyway, Gu Wuchen is quite powerful. Having Dual Godhood is definitely extraordinary. I wonder if it's as serious as Grandpa said.
