Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 851 The Answer Lies in the Wind

On the enormous sun, a tiny human figure materialized, staring in astonishment at the massive flames, which seemed to be a second, truly real sun.

"Boom—"

A tremendous thunderclap echoed across the entire Douluo Continent, followed by a massive ice storm that swept out from the far north.

Even louder than the thunder was a massive flash of light, almost blinding everyone and forcing them to the ground, making it nearly impossible for them to breathe. Strangely, however, this flash of light did not harm anyone; in fact, a tremendous force descended upon Douluo Star.

That was a divine power and a guide left behind by Qian Renxue.

Under this divine power, the spatial level and life energy of the entire Douluo Star were raised again, and the overall level of the plane underwent a transformation.

That guide was the coordinates of the Abyss Plane left by Qian Renxue. Under this guidance, the plane's spiritual consciousness could "pull" the Abyss Plane over, forming a fusion between planes, allowing Douluo Star to truly reach the standard of the demigod realm.

"No! No!"

High above the headquarters of Wuhun City, a crack was forcibly torn open in the projection space, and Shen Yuanyi escaped from it.

"Miss!" she cried out in terror, her voice hoarse as she looked up at the sky.

"Didn't you leave me a letter saying you were going to go into seclusion in the sun to cultivate? So much time has passed..." Her pupils contracted, unable to believe her eyes. "How come..."

"Didn't you promise you'd never hide anything from me again?"

"Boom—" Another earth-shattering explosion rang out, and intense flames erupted once again in the sky as two figures descended from the heavens.

Ye Xishui immediately rushed forward, but Shen Yuanyi and the Ice and Snow Emperors were faster than her. They flew high all the way to tens of thousands of meters in the sky, but there they only saw the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena descending from the sky.

At the same time, in the undead world that had merged with Douluo Star, Ilex's hand trembled slightly. Because Qian Renxue had learned necromancy from him, there was actually a connection between them, but at this moment, Ilex could no longer sense that connection.

This is a one-way release.

This means that Qian Renxue is "gone".

"Muyue!" Electrolux cried out in terror.

A phantom figure appeared beside Electrox; she was the administrator of the undead demiplane who had made a "contract" with Qian Renxue long ago.

"Elder Yi, the Lord..." she stammered, but dared not continue. Because she could feel that the contract she was bound to had also vanished.

The greatness of a contract lies in the fact that it is one of the highest powers in the entire universe. Although the blood pact between Qian Renxue and Mu Yue was not the strongest one, the contract vanished at this moment.

After the second explosion, another massive surge of energy descended, this time penetrating directly through space and reaching the Land of the Dead, bestowing blessings upon this place.

The second explosion also forced the Ice and Snow Emperors, Ye Xishui, and Shen Yuanyi, who were tens of thousands of meters in the air, to retreat.

"Where's the little snowman?!" Ye Xishui forced herself to calm down and asked Gu Yuena.

She is the strongest human here and Qian Renxue's teacher; she must remain composed at this moment.

"She..." Gu Yuena said with difficulty, "She refused to bow to the laws of the universe until her death... She took the remnants of all the previous dragon gods and then... self-destructed with the laws of the universe."

"Self-destructed?" Ye Xishui's eyes turned cold. "Dragging the Dragon God into a self-destruction? What's going on?!"

Now, thanks to Qian Renxue's many years of service and the two recent blessings, Douluo Star can accommodate cultivators with cultivation levels above 100, with a limit of 110—after all, the power of the Abyss Plane has not yet been fully integrated into Douluo Star.

That's why the Silver Dragon King was able to enter Douluo Star, while the Golden Dragon King remained adrift in the universe.

Gu Yuena paused for a moment, then told Ye Xishui what she knew.

"Dragon Clan!" Shen Yuanyi glared angrily at Gu Yuena after hearing this. "Your Dragon God... I've only ever heard of centipedes that don't fall down even after death, you, you all!"

Gu Yuena remained silent for a moment, not retorting. She, too, had only learned of all this while inside the spatial passage, after her failed fusion with the Golden Dragon King. But Qian Renxue seemed to have known beforehand.

How did she know that?

Gu Yuena couldn't understand it.

"Go ahead and scold me, I really have to take it. Although Qian Renxue told me to use the Dragon God Core to attack her, this is the final result," Gu Yuena said bitterly. It seems that she is very good at self-deception. Just as she said, it was Qian Renxue who told her to attack herself, so whatever the result, Qian Renxue has to bear the consequences.

Perhaps this is a problem with animals; they are prone to acting recklessly once things get a little out of their control.

"Wait, are you saying that Miss asked you to use the Dragon God Core to attack her, which is why she suffered this calamity?" Shen Yuanyi lowered her fist, which she had raised.

"Hmm." Gu Yuena nodded gently. "I don't know if she knew in advance that the core of the Dragon God still contained the remnant soul of the former Dragon God... because at the beginning, she asked me and the Golden Dragon King to recreate the Dragon God."

Shen Yuanyi slowly closed her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The two emperors of ice and snow were somewhat at a loss, silently watching everything unfold.

Ye Xishui stared blankly at the sky, and said softly, "You, have you become addicted to self-destruction? Ten thousand years ago, you self-destructed your divine position because you couldn't defeat the Asura God. This time you're even more ruthless. In order to fight against the laws of the universe, you directly dragged the Dragon God down with you and self-destructed."

"My initial order to Yuanyi was to stay by your side no matter what. This wasn't just to take care of your daily needs, but also to prevent you from having any more impulsive decisions..."

Shen Yuanyi took a deep breath, and then her expression changed.

Hyotei had never seen Shen Yuanyi like this before, but Yuki-tei did. It was when they first met that Shen Yuanyi disassembled someone into a pile of parts in a few moves, her methods were so cruel as to be appalling.

It was like before I met Qian Renxue.

"It's not your fault." Shen Yuanyi waved to the Silver Dragon King. "You can leave now."

The Silver Dragon King looked at Qian Renxue's little follower and said softly, "She sent me back when she self-destructed, and appointed Ms. Ye Xishui as the acting pope until a new person of virtue and talent appears. At the same time, she sent me back with an order."

"What orders?" Shen Yuanyi asked expressionlessly.

Everyone could tell who this "new person of virtue and talent" was referring to, and Ye Xishui understood as well.

"All members of the Spirit Hall must always remember the hall's rules and doctrines. We can shed blood, but we cannot shed tears," the Silver Dragon King said slowly. "No matter when or where, we must ensure the safety of the entire Douluo Star."

"I understand, you can go now." Shen Yuanyi took a deep breath and waved again.

The Silver Dragon King nodded and left.

A sudden rainstorm began to fall across the entire Douluo Star, but the sun remained high in the sky. The rain even broke through the barriers of space, falling simultaneously in both the world of the living and the world of the dead.

"I'm here!"

"I'm here!"

The sunlight and raindrops seemed to be calling out, and all living beings and the dead heard them. They dripped and flowed in every corner of the planet, in the sky, in the ocean, and on every continent and island that Qian Renxue had set foot on and never set foot on.

All living beings and the dead will remember this name, and then hold the sunlight and rain containing this name in their palms, scattering them high into the air, letting them dance in the wind.

How high must a bird fly to reach the sun?

How many years must a mountain stand before it is washed into the sea?

How many times must a person examine the path before they find the true solution and break free from constraints?

How many years would it take for a group of people to truly achieve "freedom"?

The answer lies in the wind.

It's in that name.

He didn't die; he just used this method to deceive all beings.
