Four years, Ye Guyi's transformation, and the Angel God's secrets (4k)

Who are you?!

The Great Holy Spirit within the branch altar of the Holy Spirit Cult here had his bloodshot eyes wide open. He was now a soul, completely imprisoned in Lu Cheng's palm. Even with all his might, he could not break free. Moreover, his most secret method of self-preservation was seen through by this young man at a glance, as if his secret had nowhere to hide in front of him.

However, as a Soul Saint and a Great Saint within a branch altar, this move would likely deceive even Titled Douluo- level expert.

Who exactly is this unbelievably handsome young man?

And this beautiful young girl, clearly no more than twenty years old, possessed terrifying combat power. In just a few moves, she forced him into a deadly situation, forcing him to use his ultimate technique to escape.

Ye Guyi, carrying a long sword, landed beside Lu Cheng in a few leaps, her eyes wide with astonishment and confusion.

Clearly, no one expected this guy to Life so resilient; he survived even after his head was severed.

"Guyi... I understand." The girl adapted quickly, gently exhaling a breath of stale air. Her beautiful golden eyes glanced deeply at the soul, and she spoke in a deep voice.

She also secretly glanced at Lu Cheng's profile, licking her red lips. If she weren't a teacher, she probably would have fallen for his trick and let him run away.

If my portrait is exposed, it will cause trouble later.

Nowadays, she seems to be increasingly reliant on this "mysterious" master, whose background is shrouded in secrecy and whose whereabouts are uncertain, but whose figure is like a solid mountain, giving people endless peace of mind just by standing there.

"Master, shall we go to the next place?" Ye Guyi tore off a corner of the black robe of the deceased Holy Spirit Cult member, gently wiped the bloodstains off the sword blade, and stood gracefully beside Lu Cheng, her golden eyes eager as she asked.

"Do you think the Holy Spirit Cult is like common cabbage, where you can just stumble upon their branch?" Lu Cheng said calmly. "This time, I had to pull some strings to find this secluded spot."

"Evil Soul Master aren't some common Evil Soul Master. Although it sounds like they're everywhere, you'll actually have to put in a lot of effort to find one."

"Oh..." Ye Guyi stuck out her tongue, her expression no longer as cold and bloodthirsty as before, but with a touch of girlish playfulness.

"Who exactly are you?!" The Great Holy Spirit was both shocked and horrified. These master and disciple seemed to be hunting down Evil Soul Master?

"Wrong..."

He seemed to recall something: the Blazing Angel Martial Soul, with its outrageous Spiritual Power strength, both far away and right before his eyes. The one within the sect who was "invited" by the sect leader now held a high position and great power within the sect. It was said that he had launched a series of bloody battles in just two years and was even the third strongest expert in the Offering Hall.

Holy Son, Lu Cheng.

Black hair, black eyes, only in his early twenties, young and unbelievably handsome.

The vast Sun Moon Empire could only find such a being!

It really is him!!!

The Great Holy Spirit was filled with turmoil, staring at Lu Cheng in terror, speechless for a moment.

Being ranked third in the Offering Hall is almost enough to place one at the pinnacle of the continent. There are only a handful of people in the world who can rival him. This is why the Holy Spirit Holy Spirit Cult dares to be so arrogant now. With such a holy son, the Holy Spirit Cult has a good chance of rising to prominence.

But today, he could never have imagined that he would meet that legendary figure, but in this way.

"You are number three..."

Just as the Great Holy Spirit was about to utter the answer, Lu Cheng smiled, clasped his palms together, and crushed the soul completely. He almost swallowed it subconsciously, but then realized that Ye Guyi was also there. He coughed lightly, opened his palms, and let the soul fragments turn into energy points and drift away in the wind.

"He knew his master?" Ye Guyi felt like a kitten was scratching at her heart. What? Hurry up and tell me! It's a pity that the guy didn't finish speaking before he died.

"Perhaps, more people on this continent know me now..."

Lu Cheng waved his hand dismissively.

"Let's go, tonight was alright, it's time to head back."

He glanced at Ye Guyi, who was clearly in a good mood, and nodded slightly. This time, he had vented the anger and rage that had been building up in his heart for many years, so he should be less crazy towards himself now.

"What is Master looking at?" Ye Guyi's golden eyes shone brightly, even dazzlingly, in the dim moonlight. Her hands were clasped behind her back, and she smiled sweetly like a deer.

Her aloof and angelic demeanor vanished instantly.

"My disciple has grown up..." Lu Cheng said with a light laugh.

"Master knows too." Ye Guyi licked her lips lightly, leaned close to Lu Cheng's ear, and said with a hint of resentment in her voice. As long as her master wasn't a blockhead, he would definitely understand her feelings.

But her master was far away from her.

They appeared to be master and disciple, but he deliberately avoided her.

"..."

Lu Cheng's eye twitched, and he wished he could slap himself.

Why bring this up out of the blue?

But the girl was indeed flawless, with a delicate and pretty face, a tall figure of nearly 1.8 meters when wearing boots, long legs with a 4:6 ratio, and the aloof and otherworldly temperament inherent to the Angel Martial Soul possessor. She had undergone a tremendous change from the weak and dying girl three years ago.

"Does Master think I'm pretty?"

Ye Guyi stood gracefully in place, her slender arms linked behind her back, a hint of shyness on her face, and softly asked.

Lu Cheng: "..."

The situation seems a bit bad.

This question... has been asked to him by no fewer than three people, without exception, and the implication is quite obvious.

"My little angel is growing up so fast."

Lu Cheng pondered for a moment, then still offered a word of praise.

The girl then flashed a radiant smile, as if the entire night sky had been illuminated.

The images shift.

The page redirects again.

Two years have passed. You are twenty-six years old and have advanced to level Level 95 Super Douluo. At this point, you possess combat power equal to, or even surpassing, Zhongli Wu. From this moment on, you finally challenge Zhongli Wu. This event shakes the entire Holy Spirit Cult. Countless Evil Soul Master are dumbfounded, yet eagerly anticipating the emergence of a powerful Evil Soul Master who can lead them to the pinnacle of the entire continent. Zhongli Wu is strong, but he always falls short of this goal. And you are the perfect target in the hearts of almost all Evil Soul Master.

[The result was unexpected. You completely overwhelmed Zhongli Wu from beginning to end. Even when he unleashed his trump card, the Bone Dragon, it was to no avail. You easily severed his neck with your Sword of Seraphim and he perished at the Holy Altar headquarters. Everyone stared in disbelief as Zhongli Wu fell from his pedestal and you walked step by step towards the position of leader. Everyone had expected to see the impactful scene of a new king challenging the old king, but no one thought it would be a crushing battle, ending in a dramatic fashion.]

[After this, Ye Xishui not only didn't punish you for killing Zhongli Wu, but instead grew extremely fond of you. In her eyes, although Zhongli Wu was related to her by blood, he was merely a "remnant" left behind by the Old Ghost Zhongli, and now just a pawn in her rule of the Holy Spirit Cult. Therefore, his death was no big deal. Subsequently, Ye Xishui personally acknowledged your position as sect leader, and you naturally became the new sect leader of the Holy Spirit Cult Sect.]

[But only you know that before Zhongli Wu died, he infused your body with his concentrated demonic energy. Although it didn't harm you, that demonic energy affected your Martial Soul. Over time, your Blazing Angel Martial Soul gradually became corrupted and mutated into Fallen Angel Martial Soul. Although its combat power is comparable to the Seraphim, it's clear that you can no longer sever your ties with Evil Soul Master.]

[You know Zhongli Wu's intentions. He used his own Life to completely drag you down, turning you into a thoroughly Evil Soul Master. He's clever; he probably already saw that you didn't have any sense of belonging to the Holy Spirit Cult, so he used this method to forcibly bind you to the Holy Spirit Cult.]

[As for Ye Guyi, after consuming the Immortal Herb, her extraordinary, almost monstrous talent gradually became apparent. With the increasing number of Evil Soul Master you personally "fed" to her, and their rising cultivation levels, her advancement speed accelerated to an unprecedented degree. In just two years, she reached level 85 Soul Douluo.]

[The power of faith played a crucial role in this. You deliberately created a crowded place, allowing Ye Guyi to slay those Evil Soul Master who oppressed the common people. One after another, sculptures of the angel Ye Guyi rose from the ground. In your vision, the girl seemed to have gained a golden body of faith. It seemed that the path to godhood through faith was truly achievable. Or perhaps it was because fragments of the Angel God's divine essence were scattered across this continent, and they sensed the call, gathering around Ye Guyi Ye Guyi, which made it so easy for her to condense her divine essence.]

[Meanwhile, under your covert manipulation, more and more Soul Master dissatisfied with the Holy Spirit Cult joined Ye Guyi's ranks. In the same year, Ye Guyi established the Holy Angel Church to resist the Holy Spirit Cult.]

[With you turning a blind eye and even secretly funding them, the Holy Angel Church has grown extremely powerful, even going toe-to-toe with members of the Holy Spirit Cult in various branches. Your Holy Spirit Cult Church followers are full of complaints and hope you will intervene, but you remain indifferent and even "disdain" to deal with it. Ye Xishui, like you, also underestimates these emerging forces that can't even muster a single Titled Douluo. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult, with its three Limit Douluo warriors, could indeed crush them with ease.]

[But Ye Xishui also became suspicious. The reason she hadn't harmed Ye Guyi was because she suspected there was a traitor within the Holy Spirit Cult, and a high-ranking one at that, whom she wanted to expose.]

[Another year has passed, Holy Angel Church has become increasingly unstoppable, even gaining official recognition from the Sun Moon Sun Moon Empire, becoming the largest religion within its borders (on the surface). Because you became the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, the old emperor finally realized something was amiss. He knew all too well how wronged you were—a respectable young man forced into the Holy Spirit Cult, becoming a universally reviled Evil Soul Master, and now, in just a few years, you've succeeded Zhongli Wu as leader, holding immense power and influence. If you were to retaliate against him, it would be enough to keep him awake at night in fear.]

[This is also a manifestation of imperial cunning. To counterbalance the Holy Spirit Cult, the Holy Angel Church, which has risen to prominence in recent years, was supported by the Sun Moon Empire. With the Sun Moon Empire's support, the Holy Angel Church's power has visibly increased, with two more Level 9 Soul Engineer, Ye Guyi, reached Level 95 Super Douluo after slaying and devouring two Titled Douluo Evil Soul Master at the level of Holy Spirit Cult elders. At this moment, she seems to have been chosen by the remaining fragments of the Angel God's Divine Consciousness, activating her own accelerated path to godhood.]

[Only now did Ye Xishui realize the terrifying nature of the Holy Angel Church, and she planned to mobilize the church's forces to completely annihilate them.]

The scene returns to reality.

Lu Cheng sat in the position of sect leader, with the other eleven retainers present, as well as the Supreme Elder Ye Xishui.

"Tonight, we must strike and annihilate them completely, uprooting that so-called Angel Church." Ye Xishui casually fiddled with her slender, sharp purple fingernails. "Everyone, is there no problem?"

"We will naturally go as the Supreme Elder has decreed." The Second Worship, an Old Ghost shrouded in a black robe, chuckled.

"I will obey the Supreme Elder's command."

"Good."

Even Lu Cheng nodded.

"Master!"

The Holy Church Headquarters, Mingdu, is a magnificent church-style building.

Ye Guyi was overjoyed to see Lu Cheng Lu Cheng and clung to his arm, unwilling to let go.

She wore a magnificent white-gold gown, her face exquisitely beautiful yet aloof, exuding both pride and elegance. At this moment, she was the core of the entire Holy Angel Church, and a goddess in the eyes of many believers.

But when she saw her master, the beauty's face became more playful.

"Hehe..."

Lu Cheng's eyes held a smile.

This girl has really blossomed; her temperament has improved, and she's poised and elegant, quite like Pope.

The only thing she lacked was her strength, which was also rapidly increasing. Although she was only at Level 95, in Lu Cheng's eyes, the girl had already begun to possess a "divine status," that is, the status of God of Angels. Although it was still incomplete, its power had already begun to emerge.

According to his estimation, even if he were to face the former Zhongli Wu, he would still have a chance to kill him.

As for his identity, Ye Guyi seemed to have never investigated it. She was willing to believe him, to believe in this person who pulled her out of the abyss and taught her everything step by step, a father and teacher to her.

"Now, perhaps we should call him His Holiness the Pope."

Lu Cheng chuckled and spoke.

"Master~!"

Ye Guyi lifted her extremely long skirt and pouted, somewhat displeased.

"However, Master, I feel I'm getting closer and closer to that divine realm," Ye Guyi said with a slightly serious expression, "But for some reason, it always seems like something mysterious is missing at the very end."

"No rush, take your time." Lu Cheng smiled and ruffled the beauty's hair.

A gleaming golden crown adorned her head, binding her long, golden hair, making her appear even more majestic and dignified.

"In short, I will definitely become a god."

Ye Guyi clenched her fists, revealing a girlish excitement. "When the time comes, we must take Master with us to ascend to the Divine Realm! We will never, ever be separated!"

"..."

Lu Cheng's expression stiffened for a moment, then quickly vanished.

"Haha, then I'll be waiting for your good news..."
