A seedling sprouts from the soil. Even before its verdant green shoots appear, before its seed has even broken open, it knows that blooming is its lifelong pursuit, even if it cannot ultimately escape the fate of withering.
I want to live like a summer flower, blooming brilliantly in the sun!
A glint of light flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, reflecting a captivating brilliance from a glistening tear, causing Xiao Yan, whose gaze had been vacant, to stare intently at this angel's daughter.
At this moment, Qian Renxue smiled.
Brilliant, warm!
Even the soldiers of the Land of the Moon standing nearby showed surprise.
"Your Highness," the general looked at Xiao Yan, his gun barrel slightly lowered. Even this battle-hardened, patriotic middle-aged man showed hesitation.
Xiao Yan looked at him.
"As long as we kill her, the Land of the Sun will have no bloodline left. In the future, this continent will only remember the name of our Land of the Moon. Everything we've done is for the future. A hundred years from now, your people will remember your name!"
The general finally raised his head. The gun barrel, a symbol of death, hesitated for a moment before pointing at Qian Renxue's head. The index finger, representing the scythe of death, was slowly bending; a slight pull of the trigger was all it took.
Xiao Yan fell silent, his gaze towards Qian Renxue filled with complex emotions.
"I've said what I needed to say. I have no regrets in this life. Even if I, the one in the Douluo Continent, am about to perish, I will not regret it. I believe even Grandpa will not blame me for this." Qian Renxue slowly closed her eyes, her calm face showing no ripples, calmly welcoming death.
Bang!
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
Like the clock striking midnight precisely, representing the impending doom of death, the hooks of the Black and White Impermanence have already bound someone's fate. A thunderous flash illuminates the muzzle of the gun, bursting forth with dazzling light, focusing Youren's attention, and finally, it explodes.
puff!
Youren was stunned.
Whether it was the soldiers or Qian Renxue, only madness remained in their eyes.
A brilliant, bright red flower of blood bloomed, and a hole like a rose pierced through Xiao Yan's heart and exploded. Blood gushed out from several arteries like a fountain, and tiny blood clots mixed with fragments of the heart splattered on everyone's cheeks and bright clothes.
The general stared in disbelief at the slowly falling corpse. Despite his usually good manners, he immediately burst into a tirade of curses, completely breaking down!
The dead were wrong!
" Xiao Yan!"
Qian Renxue suddenly hugged the boy who had shielded her from the bullet. Tears welled in her beautiful eyes, and her dignified skirt trailed on the ground. The girl, holding the boy, cried like a child.
The soldiers looked at each other, none of them having expected this outcome.
A prince who should have been remembered in history actually shielded a princess, a prisoner, from a bullet!?
What kind of melodramatic romance plot is this?!
But that's exactly what happened. When the soldiers saw the general's expression of utter despair, they all slapped their thighs in unison, knowing that this whole mess was now over.
"Don't die!" Qian Renxue cried out in anguish. This was an emotion she hadn't felt in over a decade, and now it burst forth like a river bursting its banks. No matter how noble her temperament or how extraordinary her background, she was still just a girl.
Even the most hard-hearted person would be heartbroken by this scene!
In that instant when the gunfire erupted, in that fleeting moment, Qian Renxue, already locked in by fate, was forcibly replaced by Xiao Yan. The young man, having usurped the position, willingly faced the fatal blow, resolutely embarking on the road to the underworld right before everyone's eyes. His eyes remained wide open until his heart was shattered by the bullet, until his pulse stopped the moment it began. Those fiery red eyes were still gazing intently at the person he had taken.
Xiao Yan lost all signs of life, leaving the world with a final answer—a syllable yet to be uttered. Qian Renxue, however, discerned from the slight parting of his lips what word it was.
"Snow!"
Qian Renxue laughed miserably.
After she confessed her feelings, even
This boy, who was not good with words, gave his life for her in the first moment. Compared to a verbal response, this love expressed through action was far more powerful, like a thunderclap that stirred up countless waves in Qian Renxue's heart.
"Things have come to this. The prince has fallen, and the princess of the Land of the Sun can no longer be spared!" The general quickly regained his composure and made the most advantageous assessment for the Land of the Sun in an instant. He immediately pointed his gun at Qian Renxue, who was now Youren's reach. "The descendants of both nations have perished. This ending, while not the best, is acceptable. I will go to the old king to plead guilty and accept my death!"
The general rallied the soldiers, and rows of Huo Lie erupted simultaneously. A barrage of firearms clashed, their light shining like the blazing sun. A ray of intense sunlight fell from the heavens, ultimately resting upon Qian Renxue's brow.
A pair of divine wings quietly unfurled, and Qian Renxue's body seemed to unfold Angel Domain. All the firearms lost their effectiveness and kinetic energy, turning into a pile of scrap metal floating in the air, eventually falling to the ground and being buried in the soil.
"This is..." The soldiers stared in fear at Qian Renxue at the muzzle of the gun. Her body slowly rose up, her transparent wings burning with Lie Yan, and her golden eyes filled with a heartless expression.
The overwhelming pressure from the superior forced the soldiers to their knees instantly.
Qian Renxue reached out and grabbed the general without any pity. The bloodline of the Holy Angel awakened in this world, and the terrifying power was almost enough to make him run rampant in this world. The so-called bullets and firearms became a joke at this moment.
Bang!
A Lie Yan ignited from the general's chest, burning a huge hole in the middle-aged man before his death, just like Xiao Yan's previous one. Terrifying divine power raged within his body, and after Qian Renxue's merciless revenge, it tore the general apart from the inside with a bang. Countless bloody particles exploded, and countless bits of flesh splattered onto the soldiers' faces.
At this moment, Qian Renxue was no longer an angel.
This is the devil!
A devil who fled from Heaven to hell!
" Lucifer suffered nine days and nine nights of torment as he fell from Heaven to Hell, while this woman only took a moment." The soldiers recalled the terrifying secrets of the Land of the Sun, where Qian Renxue became a fallen angel, a terrifying force more rampant than the Fallen Angel, representing slaughter and ruthlessness.
With a fierce glint in her eyes, Qian Renxue didn't hesitate for a moment. Her ten fingers, like ten sharp swords, spewed terrifying Lie Yan that burned away all the impurities in this world. The soldiers turned into skeletons, and eventually, even their bones were turned into lime, which drifted in the wind and finally scattered on the earth, becoming fertilizer for this continent along with the general's flesh and blood.
Qian Renxue's gaze was deep as she looked towards the horizon and then down to the ground. Nothing could stir her emotions. The bloodline of the gods was awakening within her. Only divinity could make a person powerful, because it required sacrificing everything.
The moment Xiao Yan died, she was no longer whole.
So what's wrong with giving up everything?
a long time,
As the sun set and the rising moon cast its first rays upon her beautiful face, this strong girl finally collapsed to the ground.
She held Xiao Yan's body, sobbing uncontrollably.
"If you die like this, what's the point of me living?!"
"Or rather, what is the purpose of this so-called second level?"
Xiao Yan is dead, proving that Xiao Yan failed the test. According to the blank voice that said earlier, if someone dies in this second test, their physical body in the Douluo Continent will also weaken and die.
Xiao Yan is now dead.
How will Qian Renxue get out of this predicament?
Qian Renxue shook her head. "I don't plan to go out, or rather, I won't go out until I avenge you."
Her gaze was sharp, and beneath the angelic radiance lay the murderous intent of Asura. The transparent wings behind her, which were once as radiant as the rising sun, were now tinged with a faint purple hue, and the power of Fallen Angel was quietly awakening.
"Since that guy said this is also a universe, or even a real world that actually exists..."
Qian Renxue spoke coldly, a rare tenderness tinged with murderous intent as she held Xiao Yan's corpse, "Since that's the case, I will bury this world that caused you to lose your life, and make this so-called second barrier cease to exist."
She stood up abruptly, holding Xiao Yan in her arms, and looked around at the sky, the flowers, trees and plants of this continent, and everything in this world. Her eyes were devoid of any emotion except for killing intent.
Even if I fall into the deepest hell, even if my divine status is destroyed, even if I become a so-called Fallen Angel, I will have no regrets!
Qian Renxue is a very strong-willed girl. Her confidence and personality complement each other. After Xiao Yan's sad departure, she did not succumb to despair. Instead, she unleashed a terrifying potential that made people's hearts tremble. Her Asura heart, which wanted to take revenge on the world, even overcame the angelic kindness in her bloodline.
From this moment on, Qian Renxue will become Asura.
It brings pain to this world.
until
Bang
A sound like shards of glass suddenly rang out, and his worldview slowly collapsed. The whole world was spinning, the Sun Moon and moon were reversed, and even the universe ceased to exist. In a lake of fiery red water, Xiao Yan slowly awoke.
He straightened up, his tall figure reflecting the moon and sun's radiance in the fiery lake. Xiao Yan touched his chest; the suffocating, terrifying feeling of explosion had finally disappeared from his heart.
Is this all a dream!?
Xiao Yan shook his head, because he saw Qian Renxue still sleeping in another part of the Sun Lake.
Xiao Yan murmured, " Xue'er."
Two figures suddenly appeared before them; the old man stroked his beard and laughed, while the little girl clicked her tongue in amazement.
They said, "You've been asleep for a year!"
In that illusory realm, where timelines shifted arbitrarily, and where countless worlds and universes intersected, they spent nearly a year.
Finally, the story came to a close on the continent where the Land of the Sun and the Land of the Moon reside.
Xiao Yan escaped the illusion by sacrificing himself.
The Goddess of Love of love, who was not far away, looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of goodwill and said:
"You've successfully passed the second hurdle—the adventure—by giving everything for love, including your life!"
"Reward: Level 5 Soul Power, and a God-Given Soul Bone."
Xiao Yan looked at her, then at Yao Lao, and asked wearily, "What do you mean!?"
The boy's eyes were bloodshot, and the invisible pressure he exuded even made Yao Lao stammer. At this moment, not only Yao Lao, but even the usually carefree Xiao Huo felt Xiao Yan's anger.
"This is the Yin Yang Love Querying Valley. When you were fighting, I had to find a place to move to, and this place had the most concentrated divine power, so I came here. Then I encountered the Goddess of Love of Love, who likes to test people, and I took advantage of the situation to put you through a test." The Yao Lao was silent for a moment, but finally spoke.
"I believe you can withstand the test. As a Peak Half-Saint, I can sense something in the depths of my being. You and this girl have a deep connection; your being here is fate. Therefore..."
Xiao Yan interrupted him, saying bluntly, "So you just started testing us on your own, arbitrarily manipulating our memories and forcing us to fall in love!?"
"No!" The Yao Lao shook his head firmly.
"Love is a very strange emotion; Youren can truly change it. If it's just love imposed by memory, you would have been able to tell the difference the moment you became the prince and princess of the sun and moon kingdoms!"
The Yao Lao chuckled, "In the end, you accepted love, even sacrificing your life for Qian Renxue, before finally passing the test, returning to reality, and receiving your reward."
Xiao Yan muttered, "A test, huh? No wonder that bastard said the test would fail if I died. Turns out that was just bullshit!"
The Yao Lao's face immediately darkened.
Xiao Yan looked at him.
Xiao Huo chuckled and said, "That bullshit was just something that old geezer said to make things harder!"
Xiao Yan was speechless. What kind of teacher had he found? This teacher was really good at messing with people's mentality.
Yao Lao gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Huo, "Old lady, are you acting like a traitor right here!"
"You old geezer, who are you calling names?!"
"Me, an old geezer?! I'd think you were too old to be my grandma!"
"You're so cheeky, my dear grandson!"
"You!"
The two started arguing again; they hadn't seen each other for a year, and they had come up with quite a few new tricks.
Ever since Xiao Yan passed the test, Goddess of Love's gaze towards him softened, like that of a kind neighbor, her voice gentle, "Go and see that girl."
Xiao Yan nodded and bowed to Goddess of Love.
He walked towards the Qian Renxue.
In the golden lake representing the sun, a beautiful girl, her golden dress floating on the water, exuded an ethereal charm, like a fairy ascending to heaven. Perhaps this was due to the influence of her Angel Martial Soul.
Xiao Yan lowered his body slightly and gently stroked that strand of golden hair.
Finally, the boy's lips moved slightly, trembling a little. After hesitating for a long time, he leaned his body slightly closer to those Lie Yan, and they finally touched.
At this very moment,
Xiao Yan learned about Qian Renxue's experiences on the continent after his "death."
She transformed into Fallen Angel, ruthlessly annihilating both the Sun Moon kingdoms.
She spared no one who had ever harmed Xiao Yan, or who had even the slightest connection to Xiao Yan death.
In Qian Renxue's mind, dying there was equivalent to dying in reality.
It's all over.
The girl sat alone in that vast universe, her heart filled with despair.
