Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 873 I Returned from Hell (Two Chapters Combined, 4000 words)

Despite the excruciating pain within his body, the Asura God tore open Poseidon's divine armor in a fit of rage.

He had lost his mind. He didn't care if Tang San died because of his actions. He wanted to search Tang San's soul and trace the location of the mastermind behind the scenes from the other's memories.

"Screenshot this footage, process it, and then project it to the next dimension in real time." At that moment, the God of Destruction decisively issued the order, saying, "Tell all the planets and dimensions still resisting that we, the Gods, have found a turning point on the battlefield. Tell them not to give up!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the God-King!"

A deity standing to the side quickly spoke up and then went to make preparations.

This will undoubtedly be a way to encourage all the planets. There has been a turning point on the battlefield of the gods, so please do not give up hope in the other lower planes.

"Although I don't know why you don't want to show your face, Douluo Star has been remembering you all these years... Several gods who rose from Douluo Star to the God Realm are also grateful to you for the changes you brought to Douluo Star."

The God of Destruction looked up at the sky, seemingly trying to find Qian Renxue's figure.

……

On Douluo Star, Shen Yuanyi and the Ice and Snow Emperors were handling affairs in Wuhun City.

Suddenly, a projection appeared high in the sky above Douluo Star. The image wasn't large, but under the control of the God Realm, it displayed strange characteristics, allowing every creature on Douluo Star to see it.

"What's this?" Hyotei looked up at the sky and frowned. "Is the Divine Realm doing some publicity?"

Xue Di waved her hand: "That's true. If the people on Douluo Star were to see the projected images directly, they might not be able to withstand the pressure from them."

Ice Emperor's current cultivation level is less than 500,000 years. It has only been a little over a hundred years since she last broke through 400,000 years, but she has already reached almost the next bottleneck.

Xue Di is now a true god-level being, with a cultivation level of over 110, making her one of the few true god-level combatants on Douluo Star—which highlights the gap between humans and soul beasts.

There are two people with super god-level combat power, that is, level 120 or above: Ye Xishui and Du Busi.

Because they all carry divine inheritances, but are unwilling to go to the divine realm immediately. They possess inheritances of first-level gods or higher, and after evolving on the plane planet, they naturally no longer need to suppress their cultivation as priests as they did ten thousand years ago.

However, they try their best not to make a move on Douluo Star, so they simply stay permanently in the battlefield of the Slaughter Land.

The strongest people on Douluo Star right now are Shen Yuanyi and Xue Di.

Shen Yuanyi, a powerful figure who had also reached the True God level, waved her hand dismissively and said, "The God Realm is sending a message. This image has likely been slightly altered; people cannot see the specific deities in the image, only vaguely..."

Just then, she suddenly stared intently at the scene.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Shen Yuanyi suddenly tense up, the two Ice and Snow Emperors beside her immediately became alert.

"An external enemy has invaded Douluo Star?" Xue Di said, spreading her divine sense outwards. "This is unprecedented. Even though some other planets have been turned into wastelands, our Douluo Star has always remained safe and sound."

"No!" Shen Yuanyi stared at the image, then her tense body trembled slightly. "I... I think I can feel her!"

Hyotei's eyes widened in disbelief. Shen Yuanyi, on the other hand, flew directly into the sky, her gaze fixed on the high heavens, as if trying to traverse countless layers of space to see the specific situation on the battlefield of the gods.

"Who? Who did you sense?" The two Ice and Snow Emperors immediately followed, then looked up at the sky as well. "You sensed..."

Shen Yuanyi stared blankly at the sky, but could not see what was happening in the universe. The distance was too great, and she could not traverse such a distant space even with her best eyesight and divine sense.

She suddenly reached behind her and grabbed the little fire dragon that had been coiled on the roof of the Spirit Hall and the Pope's Palace.

"Sing~?"

The little dragon was caught by Shen Yuanyi and lifted high into the air. It opened its eyes wearily.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yuanyi and the Ice and Snow Emperors heard the little fire dragon's soul transmission. The dragon couldn't speak much yet, but they could read its thoughts from the soul fluctuations.

"Sense it, is your mother back?" Shen Yuanyi said anxiously.

The little dragon tilted its head, clearly startled. It had been a bit impatient, having been asleep the whole time, and hardly anyone on the entire continent could wake it, except for these few friends who had once ridden on its back with Qian Renxue to travel the world.

"My mom...you mean the master?"

The little dragon looked up at the sky. Of course, it couldn't see directly into the distant depths of space, but as it stared at the scene projected down from the divine realm, a look of shock clearly appeared in its dragon eyes.

"Did you sense it too?" Shen Yuanyi asked urgently.

"Yes, a tiny bit..." The little fire dragon hesitated for a moment, then transmitted uncertainly, "Those pale seas of fire that appeared on the light screen felt a little familiar, but that's because I am a fire elemental myself."

Pale white flames, a sea of ​​fire...

The two Ice and Snow Empresses suddenly seemed to realize something. They exchanged a shocked glance and then said to Shen Yuanyi, "Do you remember that Mr. Electrolux from the Land of the Dead once said that if Xiaoxue hadn't perished, it would have been possible to truly combine the powers of fire and water in the future?"

"She's not dead! She's not dead!" Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanyi immediately grabbed the hands of the Ice and Snow Emperors beside her. "I told you long ago, Miss wouldn't die. She survived such a desperate situation ten thousand years ago, and she'll definitely do the same this time! No one in the world can kill her. At most, she'll sleep for another ten thousand years before returning, but this time she only took a hundred!"

The Ice and Snow Emperors watched Shen Yuanyi practically dancing with joy, but made no attempt to stop her. They had spent over a hundred years with Shen Yuanyi, a period that was nothing to soul beasts, but a very long time for humans.

Sixty years ago, Ye Xishui handed over the position of acting pope to Shen Yuanyi, who had already broken through level 100 and reached level 108, and then entered deep seclusion, only waking up when the war broke out.

In the past sixty years, Shen Yuanyi has hardly shown any major emotional fluctuations. It's as if she has returned to the state before she met Qian Renxue and Xue Di. With a sharp hand and some conciliatory policies, she has quelled a part of the forces that wanted to rebel because of Qian Renxue's death.

She seemed tireless, always firmly holding onto the highest power of the Spirit Hall. The Snow Emperor had told her about this, explaining that her own cultivation had become somewhat delayed due to overwork.

However, Shen Yuanyi still didn't believe that Qian Renxue would really leave them like that, so she remained in the position of "Acting Pope" without taking office or mentioning finding a successor.

Because she believed that Qian Renxue was not dead, and that even if her lifespan was exhausted, Qian Renxue would not die, the position of Pope had always belonged to Qian Renxue, unless she personally said that she would pass on the position of Pope, otherwise it would not count.

"In that case, you can put your plan on hold for now," Xue Di said softly to Shen Yuanyi.

The plan Xue Di mentioned was proposed by Shen Yuanyi to Lin Mengtong thirty years ago. She said she didn't want to enter the God Realm because it would be very difficult to leave once inside. However, she wanted to live longer, to wait as long as possible—perhaps a thousand years, or even ten thousand. Therefore, she hoped that Lin Mengtong could use the technology for transplanting soul beast bloodlines to further develop the human body on her.

After much consideration, Lin Mengtong decided to refuse her for the time being, because the longevity was too painful, as it involved watching one's relatives and friends leave one by one.

But Shen Yuanyi said she didn't care; she could wait. After all, she was now a True God and could live for at least several hundred years. If Lin Mengtong died first, she would study the manuscripts Lin Mengtong left behind herself.

"It doesn't matter." Shen Yuanyi suddenly stopped gesturing wildly and said in a low voice, "Anyway, I'm not going to the God Realm. I still have a few hundred years left to live."

"Ching~ Ching~!"

The little dragon suddenly let out two cries towards the sky.

The other three women looked at it, understood its thoughts, and then they formed a mental connection together, using their divine senses to probe the projection in the sky.

With the help of their divine senses, the water mist projected in the sky was diffused by them, and a clearer picture appeared in their eyes—this was only for them; to others, it was still a blur.

A breathtaking scene unfolded: an endless sea of ​​fire rose in the starry sky, from which countless spirits, formed from pale flames, slowly rose and attacked a group of gods.

In the center of the sea of ​​fire was a deity struggling. When the little fire dragon saw the deity's appearance, it suddenly let out a furious dragon roar.

"Do you know him?" the other three women couldn't help but ask.

"Asura God! That's the Asura God! That's the guy who killed Master in his past life!" The little fire dragon's childish voice couldn't hide its furious emotions. It came from the angel realm and, to some extent, had experienced everything that Qian Renxue had gone through, so it knew some secrets that Shen Yuanyi and the others didn't know and that Qian Renxue hadn't told them.

For example, most people only know that Qian Renxue was defeated by Tang San in her previous life, but no one knows the deeper reasons behind it all, and Qian Renxue has never said anything about it.

Yes, she never mentioned that her fate was arranged by the gods in the divine realm; she only said that she had made mistakes in the past.

Qian Renxue felt it was unnecessary. Her friends had already done a huge favor by helping her take down Shrek Academy and rebuild the Spirit Hall. There was no need to drag them into an even bigger vortex. She had indeed returned with a massive army, but in the end, she was destined to face her own problems alone.

Including the Abyss Plane, which is actually related to her in a sense.

That's why she went straight into space without a word to do what she was supposed to do, leaving behind only a letter saying that she had gone to break through and that when she returned, the whole world would be different.

In fact, Qian Renxue can be quite self-centered at times. She can kill any enemy who threatens her or stands in her way without hesitation, and she can also be kind to everyone after the war.

She was born destined to look down upon the world, and that has never changed, but she can also be the one who guides the world forward, and these two things are not contradictory.

However, the little dragon knew about what happened ten thousand years ago. These experiences naturally appeared in its memory from the very beginning of its birth.

It spotted the former Asura God at a glance!

So anger suddenly appeared in its eyes.

Then, the little fire dragon suddenly saw the halberd stuck in the body of the Asura God, and immediately let out a surprised dragon roar.

Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd!

It recognized that divine artifact! A hundred years ago, Qian Renxue used that halberd to pierce the Dragon God's soul, and then nailed herself to death in that spatial passage.

In her final moments, Qian Renxue entrusted the little fire dragon to the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, instructing them to take it back and let it live freely. After everything was over, it was Di Tian who sent the severely injured little fire dragon back to the Spirit Hall.

"laugh--"

At the same time, they seemed to hear the fiery phantoms colliding with other deities in the scene, fighting each other and making a hissing sound that belonged to "melting".

"boom--!"

An explosion rang out, and the image shattered abruptly. Clearly, the projection had been interrupted by an energy storm on the battlefield. As the image disappeared, they saw a violent explosion occur within the sea of ​​fire.

"Boom!"

In the cosmic battlefield, the God of Destruction and others observed this scene more directly. Those fiery phantoms dragged countless enemy gods into a sea of ​​fire, and then the waves surged backward, heading towards the Asura God constantly moving in the center of the ocean.

The Asura God, who was trying to find Qian Renxue's location, was making a futile struggle because the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd had already completely "nailed" him to this space before, and he couldn't even break free, just like when Qian Renxue used this halberd to nail the remnant soul of the Dragon God.

The swirling sea of ​​fire, carrying countless third-level gods, priests, and hunters, surged toward the direction of the Asura God. The entire sea of ​​fire seemed to shrink, and the compressed energy became increasingly condensed.

"Clatter—"

A crisp snap of fingers rang out, and everyone heard it.

The sea of ​​fire, which had been compressed to an infinite degree, exploded violently at this moment!

In an instant, a chaotic beam of light spread out, sweeping across all directions and engulfing the entire battlefield in the blink of an eye. The spreading beams even dazzled the gods on the Douluo God Realm side.

When everyone came to their senses and regained their sight, they discovered that a hand had appeared out of nowhere, a scene so bizarre it was indescribable.

The hand seemed to have traveled from another dimension, with only a fair wrist and palm, while the rest of the body had disappeared.

Suddenly, that hand grabbed the hair of three deities. The leader was none other than the Asura God, who had been nailed to the void, while the other two—

The God of Destruction and his companions looked closely and discovered that it was...

She was once in the Douluo God Realm, together with the God of Asura, who resurrected Tang San, the Sea God who had fallen once—a peak second-level god, the Nine-Colored Goddess and the God of Food.

"It really is her!"

The goddess of life cried out in shock.

The hand slowly clenched into a fist, and something even stranger happened. It was like some kind of magic; the figures of the Asura God, the Nine-Colored Goddess, and the God of Food slowly shrank until they were finally held in the palm of the fist.

Although that fist was pale, everyone could feel the power within it. Even the other god-kings from the God Realm Alliance dared not approach it easily at this moment.

"Who are you?! Sneaking around like that!" Indra roared.

Then, a long, slender finger emerged from that fist—it was her longest finger.
