The Qiankun Asking Love Valley originated from the story of the Goddess of Love who, after being betrayed by his beloved, lost his divine status and used his divine power to overturn heaven and earth, thus creating the Sun Moon.

The Goddess of Love was betrayed by her beloved, and the grief in her heart was so intense that it pierced the nine netherworlds. She especially hated the betrayer, and her last wisp of divine consciousness resided in the Lake of Sun Moon and Moon, using the universe there to question love!

Those who truly love each other regard this place as the foremost of the three treasure troves!

All traitors will be punished. For them, Qiankun Asking Love Valley is not a peaceful place, but a living hell, a battlefield of Asura.

How can you tell if it's true love?

Goddess of Love set up two kinds of challenges. (Modified.)

sincere.

To test whether this couple truly loves each other.

adventure.

Let this couple, who are truly in love, embark on an adventure on the edge of life and death, testing their sincerity and hope through the interplay of life and death.

" Xiao Yan and Qian Renxue were never lovers, and in fact, they didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Qiankun Asking Love Valley. I forcibly brought them here and gave them various intersecting opportunities. Now, they have met the first hurdle and can directly enter the second hurdle." On the Sun Moon Lake, Yao Lao murmured to himself, his two slender divine senses controlling the two of them respectively. He circled the Sun Moon Lake, accepting everything about the Valley of Goddess of Love Qiankun Asking Love Valley in the distance. Walking on the edge of the lush grass, his eyes were full of worry as he looked at Xiao Yan.

"If you've already started, go all the way! You can't just open the door on the first day and close it on the fifteenth. Old man, if you can't bring yourself to do it, let me do it. I have complete confidence in Little Yanzi!" Xiao Huo was eager to try, his golden-red eyes filled with excitement. He rubbed his little hands together, as if he couldn't wait to jump right into Xiao Yan and Qian Renxue's illusion.

The Yao Lao glanced at her sideways. "I think you don't have confidence in Xiao Yan, but rather a mischievous sense of humor towards Xiao Yan, right? You want to see his reaction so you can have a good laugh!"

The little girl stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes, saying, "You can't possibly just not open the second trial, can you? You know, Xiao Yan has already fallen into several other worlds' side stories and has extraordinary memories. The second trial is not only a test, but also an adaptation to the memories of the first trial. As long as the two of them get through it, whether they separate or really get together, it will be a great opportunity."

The Yao Lao broke his silence and decisively made his move, injecting two streams of divine thought into the Sun Moon Lake. The golden and red lake water immediately began to spin and turn upside down, with the entire lake surface rippling, creating a very strange sight.

The Yao Lao glared at Xiao Yan's tall and imposing figure and narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Huo, standing to the side, was amazed and immediately extended his divine sense into the illusion to observe. The golden-red eyes, which were originally surrounded by beautiful double eyelids, had now become single eyelids because they were staring too wide.

In that second level,

A blank sound rang out.

"If you have no goals or requirements, then you've succeeded."

"Of course, if you die, you won't wake up in reality."

Xiao Yan and Qian Renxue felt dizzy and disoriented. The surrounding white light was intense, shining with a blinding brilliance that made it difficult for them to open their eyes.

Finally, the ground seemed to tremble, and everything around them crackled and popped, as if the world was collapsing and turning to dust. They didn't know how much time had passed before they finally managed to open their eyes a crack.

It was the purest ray of dawn, filtering through the dew and leaves. With a slight blink, you could see the fiery sun rising slowly, like an ever-burning lighthouse.

Then, the sunlight exploded.

A terrifying ball of fire erupted in front of Xiao Yan Xiao Yan. The intense heat and vibration made his scalp tingle, and his muscles immediately contracted in a defensive stance. He unleashed his Ultimate Fire Martial Soul to its fullest extent, attempting to absorb the explosion.

The energy was too great; Xiao Yan was covered in sweat and ultimately failed.

Bang!

Xiao Yan flew out horizontally, turning into a shooting star, crashing into the distance like a pebble blasted by a bomb. He burst into blood flowers in front of Qian Renxue, his body covered in blood, looking like a blood-soaked figure.

" Xiao Yan!" Qian Renxue's expression changed. She immediately broke free of her Divine Wings, and with the fluttering wings of an angel, she helped Xiao Yan up from the ground. The blood-stained clothes of the young man made her very worried.

Then, another ray of sunlight shone on Xiao Yan.

Qian Renxue stood in front of the young man, her proud eyes filled with endless hatred as she looked up at the sky, where a massive spaceship floated. A terrifying energy weapon was already aimed at Xiao Yan, and the power representing death was even close to the level of Soul Douluo. If it hit again, Xiao Yan would be in grave danger.

"Princess, get out of the way!" someone on the spaceship shouted.

Countless memories flashed through Qian Renxue's mind; these were memories belonging to the second level.

They went straight into a plot!

This is another possible subplot. In countless parallel universes, Qian Renxue and Xiao Yan have countless possibilities of intersection. All sorts of plots, identities, and stories could happen to the two of them.

And now,

Qian Renxue and Xiao Yan are the princess and prince of two opposing countries, respectively representing the future national fortune and power of their respective empires. The two countries, which were originally locked in a life-or-death struggle, have been at war for many years, but the prince and princess of both sides have secretly developed feelings for each other.

Xiao Yan is a prince of the Land of the Sun.

Qian Renxue is the princess of the Land of the Moon.

The two seemed to be enemies from birth, but like the sun and the moon, though seemingly incompatible, they were drawn to each other and eventually fell in love and came together.

Now, Xiao Yan has arrived in Qian Renxue's country, the Land of the Sun.

The people on the spaceship discovered him and naturally wanted to kill Xiao Yan to eliminate any future threat to the country. Once the prince of the country was dealt with, the country would naturally weaken and eventually perish.

Therefore, Xiao Yan is now being hunted down by the people on the spaceship.

"Sister, move aside!" Another voice rang out, and a handsome man appeared on the spaceship. His appearance was somewhat similar to Qian Renxue's, and Qian Renxue immediately remembered that this was her brother.

Unlike Xiao Yan lineage was passed down through a single heir.

Her country, the Land of the Sun, possesses a pair of dragons and phoenixes, with two lineages.

Therefore, Youren on the spaceship said, "Time waits for no one! One energy cannon shot, even if it means sacrificing the princess, we must kill Xiao Yan. With him dead, our nation will have no more enemies. And even if the princess dies, we still have the prince!"

Amidst the ruins, Xiao Yan broke free from Qian Renxue's embrace and shoved Qian Renxue away. "All those memories we experienced before were illusions. Even if such a possibility exists in another universe, seemingly real, we are ultimately not like that!"

Qian Renxue paused.

Xiao Yan roared, "If I die in this level, I might really die outside. We have no connection whatsoever, and we were even fighting to the death in the Crown Prince's residence just hours ago! I don't need your concern, much less your protection. Get out of my way, Qian Renxue!"

Under Qian Renxue's pained gaze, Xiao Yan shoved her away. The sunlight, representing death, enveloped Qian Renxue Xiao Yan once more, like a beam of death aimed at him, and terrifying energy gathered.

A hint of indifference appeared in the boy's eyes.

as well as,

A slight smile.

Qian Renxue's eyes widened, and she shook her head frantically, trying to stop him with a roar.

A dazzling beam of light descended first, piercing through the clouds. The terrifying energy beam ignited trees several meters apart, filling the air with smoke and dust. The Lie Yan flames penetrated everything, reaching the very edge of Xiao Yan's path.

Qian Renxue rushed forward and hugged Xiao Yan tightly. In the terrifying flames, the eyes of the young man and woman met, and tears welled up in the eyes of the two who were originally indomitable and unyielding.

"I'm sorry," Xiao Yan said softly.

Qian Renxue also said, "It's alright."

boom!

A terrifying beam of light descended, its terrifying reach extending to a radius of five meters. An area of twenty-five square meters transformed into a sea of light in the distance. The power, like a tsunami, a landslide, or Lie Yan inferno, pierced through the land, splashing up terrifying flying rocks that seemed to turn into lava. The overwhelming power enveloped everything for a full ten seconds.

"Sister, what a pity." The elder brother sighed softly. Under an attack of this magnitude, if it had been a beam of light Lie Yan only about a second, perhaps the two of them could have withstood it.

But this lasted for more than ten seconds.

It's equivalent to several terrifying Soul Douluo continuously unleashing their ultimate moves for over ten seconds. Not to mention the two of them, even a Titled Douluo would have to find a coffin to lie in on the spot. The dust and debris everywhere would become the best coffin lid, and that deep pit might become a natural tomb many years later.

He even began to fantasize that, many years from now, after he had conquered that country, he might return and find the bones of a pitiful couple!

One of them was his sister.

Sudden,

His eyes instantly turned cold, and he leaned forward against the railing of the spaceship, gripping the solid iron bars tightly, as if he had discovered something unbelievable.

A round moon slowly rose.

It was a hemispherical shield, a transparent shield that appeared out of nowhere, surrounded by moonlight—the very moonlight that the Land of the Sun, its mortal enemy, least wanted to see.

At the same time, a terrifying beam of moonlight flew in from nowhere, like a dazzling meteor, and struck the Land of the Land of the Sun's spaceship directly, breaking it open and causing a violent explosion.

Countless screams rose and fell. In that instant, several lives were lost on the Land of the Sun spaceship. Many people died screaming instantly. Those who had been trying to kill Xiao Yan and Qian Renxue were now the targets of others.

Many people fell out of the spaceship.

A few people survived.

Among them was the miserable prince of the Land of the Sun, whose face was covered in dust, who looked disheveled, and who even had lost an arm.

He stared at the sky in terror. Deep within the white clouds, a silver warship appeared, having just unleashed a terrifying beam of moonlight that had directly destroyed his ship, killing many of his men.

Many people fell from the spaceship, dressed in the attire of the Land of the Moon, helped Xiao Yan up, and eventually surrounded the princess and prince of the Land of the Sun. The murderous gazes of the generals and soldiers surrounded them.

"Don't kill them!" Xiao Yan rushed out of the servants' support and went straight to the center of the arena, standing in front of Qian Renxue, just like the boy had done before.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten the attack launched against you by these people from the Land of the Sun? If we had been even a few seconds later, you might be a ghost now, and our Land of the Moon would have suffered unimaginable losses."

"For the sake of the country, this time, I cannot obey your orders!"

The general acted decisively, snatching a large-caliber, high-damage pistol from his subordinate. Taking advantage of Xiao Yan's inattention, a loud gunshot suddenly rang out, making Xiao Yan's ears ring.

Bang!

"Brother!" Qian Renxue cried out, embracing her brother's body in anguish. Memories of their childhood flooded her mind—the genuine bond between siblings, even though this so-called brother had previously harbored murderous intent towards her.

Even though Qian Renxue knew deep down that this was not her life!

But the feelings deep in her heart were truly genuine; the will deep within her soul meant that she seemed to have truly accepted this fact: the person who died in front of her was her own brother!

Seeing this, Xiao Yan felt a mix of helplessness and relief; thankfully, the person killed wasn't Qian Renxue.

But the next moment, the general pointed his gun at the girl.

The index finger was slightly bent, as if the story of death would be repeated at any moment.

Xiao Yan knew he had to do something. He pounced on Qian Renxue like a tiger, pulling her into his arms. Like a wounded Lion protecting his territory and people, he glared at the general, shouting, "No!"

"Throughout history, there have been many instances where a prince died and a princess took his place. Now that the bloodline of the Land of the Sun still exists, if Your Highness allows me to kill her, this threat can be eliminated, and the Land of the Moon will become the most powerful empire on this continent!" The general looked at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan shook his head.

He turned to look at Qian Renxue and said softly, "Why did you come up here just now? You knew you were going to die."

"You know, that blank voice once said that if we die in the second trial, we're truly dead, and our counterparts in the Douluo Continent's real world will also die!"

Qian Renxue shook her head and, surprisingly, laughed. This was the first time Xiao Yan had ever seen this angelic, pure, and holy girl show such a smile.

"I lost my father at birth. My mother didn't like me either."

"Even my kindest grandfather only wanted me to inherit the legacy of the Angel Clan, hoping to recreate the glory of angels in me, as if I was born for this purpose."

"I live without purpose, or rather, I live for them."

"I want to inherit the Angel Godhood, I want to avenge my father, I want to teach that woman Bibi Dong a lesson—but what is the ultimate purpose of all of this?!"

"What will be the end of this arduous journey!?"

Qian Renxue shook her head. "I don't know."

"So!?" Xiao Yan asked.

Qian Renxue's eyes shone with golden light, as fiery as the sun, and she laughed, "So, after experiencing those so-called pivotal worlds and parallel universes, I feel that this is the kind of life I want."

Or rather

Xiao Yan

"I'm in love with you."
