Qian Daoliu's granddaughter would one day begin the legendary Angel Nine Trials, giving her a very high chance of becoming a god.
Once the Heavenly Screen revealed this, it undoubtedly stirred up enormous waves.
After all, it concerned the legend of becoming a god. Who wouldn't pay attention?
Naturally, the forces hostile to Spirit Hall fell into a state of immense panic.
If she became a god, wouldn't she be able to wipe them out with ease?
"If Spirit Hall really produces a god, then the continent is in peril!"
Ning Fengzhi, who was still playing a board game with Sword Douluo Chen Xin on the mountain behind the sect, sprang to his feet. A rare look of panic appeared on his face.
There was no helping it. The prospect of someone from Spirit Hall becoming a god in the future was simply too intimidating.
Although they had no clear idea just how outrageous a god's strength was,
Qian Daoliu's monologue and reaction made it clear that a god definitely possessed the strength to sweep across the continent.
If Spirit Hall was going to sweep across the continent, who would be the first to suffer?
Naturally, it would be the two great empires and the Upper Three Sects.
"From the looks of it, we need to find the person carrying out the Nation-Stealing Plan ahead of time and strangle the danger in its cradle."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong stared at the Heavenly Screen as he spoke viciously.
Only by dealing with the threat beforehand could they ensure their own safety.
"Easier said than done." Sword Douluo Chen Xin also gave his opinion. "All we know right now is that the person is a woman and that she's carrying out the so-called Nation-Stealing Plan. We don't have a clue about anything else."
"Yes. I'm afraid Spirit Hall will bring her back at the first opportunity." Ning Fengzhi couldn't help sighing.
Could the balance of power on the continent really be about to change, bringing disaster upon forces like theirs?
Sea God Island, Sea God Hall.
So Qian Daoliu also lived to see an inheritor appear.
Bo Saixi was deeply conflicted.
As the Sea God's High Priestess, her mission was to wait for the Sea God's inheritor to appear and help him begin the Ninth Trial at the cost of her own life.
But for personal reasons, Bo Saixi also wanted to remain on Sea God Island and continue waiting for Tang Chen to appear.
Heaven Dou Imperial City, the Crown Prince's residence.
"I'm actually qualified to inherit the Angel God's position?!"
Upon seeing that she would begin the Angel Nine Trials in the future, Qian Renxue was overcome with excitement.
This was the only piece of good news she had heard since the Heavenly Screen appeared.
The earlier revelations had been nothing like this; they had left Qian Renxue terribly shaken.
"Congratulations, young mistress, congratulations..." Ci Xue finally no longer had to pretend he was invisible. He immediately stepped forward to offer his compliments.
He was excited too. Once the young mistress became a god, would all his years of tireless service mean that he could also share in her glory, like the chickens and dogs that ascended to heaven when their master attained the Dao?
At that moment, Ci Xue even began to feel grateful that the Great Enshrined had chosen him all those years ago to come here and protect the young mistress.
Besides Ci Xue, Snake Lance Douluo She Long, who was away handling matters for Qian Renxue, was also extremely excited.
All those years had not been wasted.
What?! The Angel God's Ninth Trial requires Grandpa to sacrifice his life?!
Qian Renxue had barely had time to rejoice before the prerequisite for the Ninth Trial distressed her.
Sorrow welled up inside her.
Seeing this, Ci Xue stopped silently pretending to be invisible and chose to comfort his young mistress instead.
There was no helping it. The person he was dealing with now wasn't just his young mistress, but the future Angel God.
Ci Xue wanted advancement far too badly.
Spirit Hall, the Pope's Palace.
What a fine Qian Family! Bibi Dong stared coldly at the Heavenly Screen.
No wonder that old fellow Qian Daoliu was so confident.
The thought of Qian Renxue undertaking the Angel Nine Trials so easily made Bibi Dong deeply aggrieved.
They were both Godly Examinations, so why was the Rakshasa God Trial she had begun so treacherous?
If the Rakshasa God's Godly Examination were as easy to complete as the Angel God's, she, Bibi Dong, would have become the Rakshasa God long ago and could then have destroyed the entire continent with ease.
Star Dou Great Forest, the alternate space beneath the Lake of Life.
"What?! Another god is going to emerge among humans in the future?!"
Beast God Di Tian was deeply aggrieved. Why could humans become gods so easily?
Soul Beasts, on the other hand, received utterly different treatment.
Envious as he was, Di Tian wasn't foolish enough to go out and deal with her.
If he truly had the ability to strangle the Douluo Plane's geniuses in their cradles, Di Tian would have done so thousands of years ago.
If he caused too great a disturbance, wouldn't those old fellows in the Divine Realm fix their eyes on him, or even on his lord?
Thus, for Di Tian, failing to endure a small matter would ruin a great undertaking.
[To keep my death from leaving my granddaughter too grief-stricken and distracted, I deliberately told her the truth about her father's death, as well as some things that had happened to that woman.]
[I also told Xue'er that although she and that woman would find themselves on opposing sides, it was only because the woman's true heart had been consumed by evil.]
[If possible, I hoped she would not make things difficult for that woman. After all, if the two of you joined forces, sweeping across the continent would be a certainty.]
[And just like that, I died. But I died happy-happy for myself, for the Qian Family, and for Spirit Hall!]
"Hypocritical old fool!" Bibi Dong said with a cold snort, her eyes full of disdain.
Back then, when she changed her cultivation method, entered the Rakshasa Secret Realm, and began the Rakshasa Nine Trials, the commotion must have given that old fellow Qian Daoliu an inkling of what was happening.
That sanctimonious fellow, a supposed believer in the Angel God, had ultimately turned a blind eye to her for the sake of power.
But the old fool was dreaming.
Lead Spirit Hall to unify the continent?
Wrong. What she, Bibi Dong, intended to do was destroy this world!
Of course, there was one other thing Bibi Dong was grateful for.
Qian Daoliu's personal monologue on the Heavenly Screen had not directly revealed that she had inherited the Rakshasa God's Godly Examination, or that the divine position she stood to inherit was opposed to the Angel God.
Once that came to light, her position could easily be jeopardized.
Bibi Dong was still in the midst of the Rakshasa Nine Trials, and her strength was restricted. Her status as the Pope of Spirit Hall was still very useful to her.
"Don't make things difficult for that woman, and work together with her!" Qian Renxue said in disbelief. "Grandpa was still too merciful!"
"That snake-hearted woman even killed her husband for the Pope's seat..."
Qian Renxue couldn't understand it whenever she thought of the things her grandfather had urged upon her before his death in the Heavenly Screen.
She then turned to Ci Xue beside her and asked, "Ci Xue, what do you think?"
That soul-searching question left Ci Xue utterly dumbfounded.
Whatever hatred existed within their family, it wasn't for an outsider like him to judge.
If he cursed her now, and the mother and daughter made up one day,
he, Ci Xue, would end up pleasing neither side.
