Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 172 "After I assume personal rule, I will surely punish this traitor!"

Qian Renxue was taken aback, then nodded.

Hyotei sighed with relief, "Thank you."

"What's wrong? Why are you all so formal?" Qian Renxue smiled.

"No, although I'm not human, I know how difficult it is to ascend to godhood. I remember you once said that you knew about things like the first angels creating their own divine positions, and that you would teach Xue'er," Hyotei said. "Just a short while ago, I sensed a change in your spiritual power, so that's why I made this guess."

Qian Renxue nodded: "Yes, and I can tell you that this time, the path I'm taking is very similar to that of the first angel. I haven't forgotten my promise to Sister Xue Di, but I wasn't sure if my ideas were right. This time, I can guarantee that this path will work."

"However, the Ice God did not perish." The Ice Emperor stared at Qian Renxue.

"You don't know the information in the God Realm, but I can tell you clearly now that in the current God Realm, the so-called Ice God and Water God hold the same divine position," Qian Renxue said. "Therefore, if Sister Xue Di is strong enough, she can make the Ice God's position independent."

"That's not a sure thing," Hyotei said after thinking for a moment.

"That's easy. I'll just kill the Water God later," Qian Renxue said softly. "Although the Elemental Gods are also first-level deities, their divine status is not as high as that of the Angel Gods. Moreover... the God of Ice and Water is a deity who is close to the Sea God and the Asura God. This has been a fact for thousands of years."

"Killed the God of Ice and Water?" The Ice Emperor frowned.

"Don't worry, in the God Realm now, apart from the two God-Kings of Destruction and Life, many of the other gods have been replaced. You don't need to worry that I will take action against the benefactor who bestowed your bloodline power," Qian Renxue said with a smile. "Otherwise, even if the God of Asura is a God-King, he cannot so easily recruit ancient gods to his side."

The current layout of the God Realm was revealed by the God King of Destruction and Ye Xishui, and then Boss Ye told Qian Renxue. The God Realm has existed for too long, and basically most of the first-level gods have been replaced.

"The current God of Ice and Water and the God of Fire are a married couple. The God of Ice and Water is the wife, so naturally she cannot be the Ice God who slept with the ancient Titan giant hundreds of thousands of years ago," Qian Renxue said.

"Long, long ago, the Water God was of the same lineage as the Sea God, while the Fire God was of the same lineage as my angelic ancestor. Later, in the succession of their divine positions, they passed on their positions to a couple in another plane. The Water God remained close to the Sea God, while the Fire God... well, it was his own choice, since the Angel God's divine position had been shattered, so he and his wife joined the Sea God's side."

"Isn't this a traitor?" Shen Yuanyi said indignantly, then she imitated Qian Renxue's crown prince demeanor from when she was in Mingdu, "After I assume power, I will surely punish this rebel!"

Qian Renxue glanced at her, thinking to herself, "You're doing a pretty good job of imitating her."

"Anyway, he's already gone over there, so let's just kill him together." Qian Renxue was full of confidence now that she had restarted her path to godhood.

Moreover, in the divine realm, the fourteen first-level gods, such as the Elemental God and the God of Original Sin, are indeed inferior to the first-level gods who simultaneously wield multiple powers, such as the Angels, Rakshasa, Emotions, and the Sea God.

Apart from the Water God and the Fire God, the other elemental gods have basically changed hands, but they have always maintained a neutral state. However, they see each other all the time in the God Realm, and the conflict between Tang San and Destruction has always been ambiguous.

Only the God of Space is confirmed to have remained unchanged. This is because his identity is extremely unique; in a sense, he wasn't a human cultivator who ascended to godhood, but rather a subordinate of the Dragon God, a being from the divine realm itself. "Hmm...that works too. The second method seems safer," Ice Emperor nodded.

"Bing'er..." Xue Di was moved. Bing Di was always like this, always putting Xue Di first in everything, even when faced with the opportunity to ascend to godhood, she would always consider her first.

"Don't worry, although ice and water share the same origin, it has never been said that there can only be one divine position. It's like the relationship between the Sea God and the Water God; they are both first-level deities with similar powers, yet they are separate," Qian Renxue said with a smile. "If Sister Xuedi creates her own divine position, then Sister Bingdi will inherit the Ice God's position. If Sister Xuedi becomes the Goddess of Ice and Water, then we will use the rules of first-level gods to take Sister Bingdi to the God Realm."

"What about me? What about me?" Shen Yuanyi stared wide-eyed.

"You?" Qian Renxue glanced at the little fox. "What do you think?"

"Hehe, I wonder if there's a Thunder God in the God Realm? I have two attributes, but it's obvious that thunder is the dominant one!" Shen Yuanyi chuckled. "Although I don't know if I'll be able to obtain such an opportunity."

Qian Renxue said seriously, "He did have the position of God of Thunder, and he was once an elemental god, but he fell in a war in the God Realm. His godhood was shattered, and the fragments drifted to the Douluo Continent."

"If I find these fragments later, will I still have a chance?" Shen Yuanyi's eyes lit up.

Qian Renxue was taken aback. She hadn't considered this method before, because her divine position was able to be repaired only after the spiritual consciousness of the plane helped gather almost all the fragments together. In contrast, the fragments of the Thunder God's divine position were truly scattered in various places, even facilitating the evolution of some soul beast bloodlines.

"If I'm not mistaken..." the Snow Empress said slowly, "After the Dragon God War ended, the Thunder God perished, and then a rule was established on the Douluo Continent that beasts could not become gods. After that, the restrictions on soul beasts became increasingly severe, and the Heavenly Tribulation also began to appear at that time. In the past, soul beasts did not face such a difficult tribulation as the Heavenly Tribulation."

This really touches on Qian Renxue's blind spots, because after she ascended to godhood, the information she obtained about the divine realm was extremely limited. The news that the elemental gods had changed was something she learned from the God of Destruction, and then relayed to her by her teacher.

"So, if I become the God of Thunder, won't all the spirit beasts in the world listen to me?"

Ice Emperor tapped Shen Yuanyi on the head: "You rascal, what Sister Xue'er said is true. It will be very difficult for you to inherit the position of the Thunder God, because most of that guy's godhood fragments have probably been requisitioned to trigger the tribulation of the Douluo plane."

Shen Yuanyi stuck out her tongue: "I was just trying to lighten the mood, why did you have to say it? If you can't inherit it, then you don't inherit it. I don't even want that lousy godhood. If it weren't for the fact that Miss will ascend to godhood in the future, I wouldn't bother going to the god realm. Otherwise, she would starve to death without a cook to prepare meals for her."

Qian Renxue's heart stirred slightly; so that's how it is.

"If I succeed in getting my revenge, I'll definitely take you, my little cook, with me."

The God of Space is one of the elemental gods. He is the older brother of a Void Insect in Douluo Continent IV. Therefore, he is not considered a human Soul Master or a cultivator from another plane who became a god, but rather an original god-level being from the God Realm.
