Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

The black and gold color scheme exudes wildness, and as its soul power flows, it unrestrainedly unleashes its powerful presence.

"No time for nonsense, get in the car!"

The outside world was still filled with the roar of artillery fire, but Qian Shui's vehicle was speeding recklessly, heading straight north.

Ning Rongrong had seen similar vehicles before; the carriage she rode in during the Elite Tournament finals already had a similar interior.

After the war began, much of the logistical transport gradually shifted from a large number of horse-drawn wagons to massive trucks.

The only thing that isn't needed is animal power; what's needed is courage.

She stared at the departing figures of the group for a long time until the people who had fought back returned to the camp, at which point she came back to her senses.

"Wow, His Highness the Crown Prince's car is so cool! The first time something like this appeared was during the Elite Tournament, when the Crown Princess used her car, right?"

Among the group that returned to camp one after another, Feng Xiaotian was the most excited, gesturing wildly as he talked to Huo Wu beside him.

With a bang, Feng Xiaotian was thrown to the ground by Huo Wu's hammer. "Shut up, my foot! It's not like I haven't seen it before!"

The soldiers were used to the comedic antics of this pair of clowns and all wore expressions of trying not to laugh.

Ning Rongrong, standing solemnly before the main tent, caused everyone who was relaxed to stop in their tracks. Huo Wushuang also nudged his younger sister, signaling her to be careful.

"All units on Level Two alert! Reconnaissance system fully deployed!" Xue Qinghe's sudden departure gave Ning Rongrong a very bad feeling.

The overwhelming battlefield situation made everyone too relaxed. She wasn't Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, nor was she the immortal Douluo Qianshui. All Ning Rongrong could do was to ensure nothing was overlooked within her capabilities.

"Yes, Commander!"

Without any hesitation, everyone agreed. It wasn't just about their status, but more importantly, Ning Rongrong's personal abilities.

They were the troops closest to the command center, and since Ning Rongrong was in actual command, there was no exchange of second-hand information.

Ability is always the best persuasive power, especially in war; whoever can lead the way to victory is naturally more convincing.

Despite the orderly arrangements, Ning Rongrong was still not at ease.

What could possibly make them leave together?

It's important to understand that the most crucial element of the tactic of besieging a point to attack reinforcements is the point of siege. That's why it was so logical for Xue Qinghe to personally oversee the operation.

But now he's actually left? And without any further explanation, which is truly baffling.

……

"You really are..."

"Didn't you already know? Otherwise, why did you run away?"

In a place far from human habitation, Xue Qinghe and Ning Huahua disappeared from the car, leaving only Qian Shui gripping the steering wheel.

Seeing that Liu Erlong in the back row didn't answer, Qian Shui got down to business, "So, what's up? Xiao Bai asked you to find me, is something wrong in the sea?"

"Oh, right! Lord Demon Soul Great White Shark sent us to find you!" Purple Pearl, who had been completely unaware of what had happened, finally realized what was going on. "But how did you know it was her who sent us?"

“You have her scent on you. If the person next to you didn’t have something more important than avenging her father’s death, she wouldn’t have come to me on her own initiative.”

The situation is easy to judge; something must have happened, and it's a problem that only I can resolve. Otherwise, Poseidon Island would be sufficient.

"Qianshui, what exactly did you mean before?" Sure enough, when it came to the matter of the murder of his father, Liu Erlong felt that there was probably no room for negotiation.

Qian Shui didn't care. It was hard to keep things bottled up, and now that things had come to this point, he could finally vent. "It means that from beginning to end, it was your father who wanted to kill me, but in the end, I just killed him instead. It's that simple. If you want revenge... forget it, you might not even be able to bite me if I stood there and let you chop me."

Under normal circumstances, Liu Erlong would have believed him. After all, the other party was already a peerless expert in this world, with no need to lie to him and the ability to easily kill him. "Why should I believe you?! You are a demon from beyond the realm!"

"Tang San said it, right? He's just like me; we're both travelers from another world."

Unexpectedly, Qian Shui readily admitted it and even told Liu Erlong that Tang San was also a visitor from another world.

After a moment of shock, Liu Erlong remembered that Qian Shui had personally crippled Tang San. "So you killed each other?"

"Hey, can you stop equating me with Tang San? It's disgusting! Besides, he really did kill Yu Xiaogang!"

He recognized me as a visitor from another world and was counting on me to save his life. Tell me, do you think I could save someone like that? Just because he had the same experience as me?

I was already being very lenient by not killing him and making him pay with his life.

"I see..."

Qian Shui was speechless at this. Tang San was truly a genius; his move was incredibly underhanded.

"Tell me, Dean Erlong, what's going on with you? How did you end up hanging out with this pirate captain?"

"How did you know I was the pirate captain!" Purple Pearl's eyes widened immediately. She hadn't said anything like that, had she?

"The only maritime force between Seagod Island and the mainland is your Purple Pearl Pirate Crew. Is that so hard to guess?"

Originally, Qian Shui didn't even encounter this cheerleader on her way to Poseidon Island, thinking they wouldn't have any interaction. But unexpectedly, she ended up serving as a messenger.

Thinking of this, someone habitually started considering whether they could recruit the pirate crew.

"You, you, you... how do you know everything?!"

"Sigh... Do you know why Ling Yunzhi and Ning Rongrong don't want to talk to you much?"

"I don't know..."

"Because you often don't need to waste words when talking to smart people!"

"Hey! How can you be like this! If you're going to say someone is stupid, can't you just say it outright!"

"That would be swearing, that's impolite!"

Stroking the corners of his mouth, Liu Erlong subconsciously ignored the fact that this person, who had previously been the unfathomable Xue Qinghe, was now able to have such a pleasant conversation with the idiot. Perhaps he really wasn't so bad after all.

There is only one important question: "Qianshui, you are still in the Kingdom of Huan, aren't you?"

With a meaningful smile, Qian Shui said calmly, "Have I taken that position yet? Anyway, this matter will be over soon."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't think things in the sea can be resolved so easily, do you? I'm not so sure. Since we're definitely going, we might as well go all the way!"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Aren't you going to say anything? End this early with me."

The scenery outside the car window kept changing, but no one knew where they were. Silence remained inside the car.

After an unknown amount of time, the car stopped, and Xue Qinghe and Ning Huahua reappeared in the passenger seat and the back seat.

They stopped in front of a military camp, and their brightly lit vehicle was not stopped; only one person stepped forward.

"Brother Shui? Is it starting?"

"Notify Xue Luochuan to prepare the troops and await orders. Target: Northeast, Wuhun City!"

……

"Xiaoxue, prepare for your seventh test!"

As Qian Daoliu's profound and far-reaching voice faded, a strange space descended.

With the sixth test passed smoothly, the seventh test of the angels undoubtedly arrived! Qian Renxue, with a solemn expression, could hear the bittersweet emotions in her grandfather's words. He was saddened by his impending departure, but overjoyed by the imminent arrival of the God of Angels!

"Your seventh test: Draw the angel's holy sword!"

Turning to look at the Angelic Holy Sword floating in the sky, Qian Daoliu suppressed his emotions and calmly introduced it to Qian Renxue.

"Xiaoxue, before becoming a god, the angelic ancestor was also an ordinary person. At that time, people lived in torment from sin and disease."

The ancestral god, wielding a holy sword, vanquished all evil and disease in the world. From then on, people were freed from darkness and reborn.

He also gained the power of faith from the people and became a god.

Unfortunately, the evil that remains in the world today is still secretly gathering strength, attempting to destroy humanity again and plunge us back into darkness.

The ancestral god left this holy sword in the hope that the angel race would protect its glory for generations to come!

"Go, Xiaoxue, this is your seventh test. Draw the angel's holy sword!"

After Qian Daoliu finished his introduction, Qian Renxue, who had been silent, also made her own judgment.

All beautiful words are backed by absolute strength.

Did ancient humans live in torment by sin and disease? Rather, it's more accurate to say that they lacked a proper order, and scattered across the continent, people ruled independently and fought each other.

The evils of war are terrifying. The fighting and conflict between people can be so heinous that they are beyond the imagination of people in peacetime.

When the angelic ancestor conquered everything with absolute power and transformed himself into the sole order, evil was naturally eradicated, and he also gained the power of faith from the entire continent.

This is the secret to His ascension to godhood!

So who is gathering power in the darkness to overthrow humanity? Is it the Rakshasa God, the nemesis of the Angel God? Or the Silver Dragon King, with whom they have already formed an alliance?

However, in the eyes of the couple, none of these things mattered.

A dragon that can be slain is never a powerful opponent; the power of spiraling upwards is the most terrifying thing!

As for power itself, it is neither good nor bad.

Floating atop the Angelic Holy Sword, Qian Renxue's slender, delicate hand, meticulously painted with her favorite pale gold nail polish, traced the magnificent sword that exuded a strong, sacred aura as she gazed upon it.

"Draw out the Angelic Sword? Become the strongest in the world? Uphold the glory of the angel race? Is that how you should put it?" With a pout, the little angel felt that she must have been infected by Qian Shui, and that her whole body was full of rebellious spirit.

"The more you pursue the light, the easier it is to be burned by it~" A strange laugh suddenly echoed in the strange space of the seventh test.

'My other side? Okay~' She didn't have any other emotions. Her little angel had already put this in her man's mind. At this moment, she was actually looking forward to it.

"Darkness is born from light! I've been waiting for this moment, and we've finally met! Light devours darkness, and the absolute light you seek simply does not exist!"

The figure approached from afar, and black mist enveloped Qian Renxue. The voice appeared in her ear as a pale hand touched her neck.

"I didn't pursue absolute light, nor did I claim it exists."

The figure holding the little angel behind her froze, as if her words had shocked her beyond belief.

Turning to look at the little angel with the exact same face as herself, she was extremely excited. She sniffed, as if afraid that something would slip down.

In short, the little angel reached out and ran his hand across her cheek, finally lifting her chin and blurting out, blushing, "So smooth!"

As for the other side? The little angel's assessment was: "I'm dumbfounded, I'm so handsome!"

"Is there something fun? Let me see!"
