Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 890 The Time of Departure (Part 2)

"Time travel?" Electrox asked with interest. "How does one travel through time?"

Qian Renxue said solemnly, "I haven't mentioned this to anyone yet because I'm not sure if I can accurately locate another parallel universe. But just now, while I was thinking, something suddenly came to mind."

She was referring to just now, when the little angel and the little devil worked together to perform a series of calculations.

"Sir, did you and Mr. Kong Deming design a communication system that can transmit signals across space?" Qian Renxue asked. "It's the one that Xue Di and the others mentioned to me once, the one that allows communication between the living and the dead."

Upon hearing this, Electrox nodded: "That's right, this is something that Kong Deming and I researched together. As you can see, the golden tree beneath us has become a core element of the underworld, just like the Lake of Life is to the living world."

Qian Renxue nodded: "So, you used some kind of... connection between them?"

"Pretty much, I won't go into too much detail. In short, the emergence of this communication method allows communication across space. Currently, it enables communication between the living and the dead. In the future, it may be possible to cross outer space, such as enabling unimpeded communication between different planets."

This technology can be considered unique, because it does not exist in any of the future scenarios that Qian Renxue has deduced about Tang San.

"I need the strong support of this technology." Qian Renxue's eyes flickered.

"Oh? What are you planning to do?" Electrox asked, intrigued. "You're not thinking of using this technology to pinpoint some kind of 'beacon' in another parallel universe, are you?"

"That's right!" Qian Renxue said in a low voice, but firmly at the same time.

Electrolux frowned.

"It's a bit risky," he said after a moment's thought.

Then Electrolux chuckled again: "However, it's been a long time since I've heard such a crazy idea. It's worth a try! I'm also very curious about what I would be like in another parallel world."

Qian Renxue sighed inwardly.

Should I tell him the theory I've deduced—that Electrolux is no longer in another timeline? If I do, will he become withdrawn?

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to tell the truth.

"What?" Electrox looked puzzled. "You mean, in another parallel universe, I followed that Huo Yuhao, and in order to save him, I sacrificed myself and the Tower of Eternity as well. In the end, he couldn't save me."

"Hmm..." Qian Renxue nodded, while observing Electrolux's gaze.

"..." Electrox paused for a moment, then said, "It's fake, I don't believe it. I don't believe I would take on an ungrateful disciple."

"Hmm, it should be fake." Qian Renxue nodded. "After all, my deduction was interrupted when it reached the point where he became the master of the Great God Circle, and I couldn't continue. Maybe there will be a turning point later."

Electrolux calmed himself down and then said, "So, what should we do?"

Qian Renxue regained her composure: "If the deduction is correct, then there is something called a central computer in that great god circle. You can think of it as a super soul tool, but it has been infused with divine power, thus giving it life."

"Once you have life, it's easier to do it."

Electrolux thought for a moment, understood Qian Renxue's words, and then said, "Is that computer with a life of its own important in the world of gaming experts?"

"If I were the master of the Great God Circle, I would definitely place it in the most important position," Qian Renxue said slowly. "But they didn't. Instead, they took the core of the Douluo God Realm, which had been integrated into the Great God Circle, as their origin. In other words, they didn't see the true power of this thing."

"This creates an opportunity!" Electrox's eyes gleamed. "If we can corrupt that supercomputer, we can turn it into a time bomb."

Upon hearing the word "erosion," Qian Renxue's lips curled up slightly.

That's right, that's her plan.

The only problem now is finding a passage to that spacetime.

"Is the little rabbit still alive?" Qian Renxue asked.

"You mean the one missing an arm and a leg?" Electrox pointed to the Tower of Eternity. "It's still alive. After all, this guy is a soul beast in its true form, so its vitality is incredibly tenacious. The other second-level gods who were reincarnated as humans have all been transformed into soul energy and absorbed by the Tower of Eternity after a hundred years of suppression."

The Tower of Eternity has the ability to absorb soul power, which is actually very similar to the Tower of Death that Teacher Ye Xishui once created.

The souls of Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and others have been worn away within the past century. It was a kind of imprisonment-like decay, a death in the world of the dead, their souls and spirits annihilated, with no possibility of reincarnation.

They were only incidental after all, so let their souls nourish Douluo Star after they die—the world of the dead is also a part of Douluo Star.

As for Tang Hao, his soul is still imprisoned by a bronze statue-like puppet; it has neither been released nor erased.

When Qian Renxue returned to the Spirit Hall to attend the banquet, she specifically sensed that Tang Hao and the other Sea Douluo's souls had been roasted for a hundred years, and the Title Douluo's souls were almost gone, but Tang Hao's was still there.

"Okay, I understand." Qian Renxue nodded, then reached out and pulled out a rabbit ear.

"Tsk tsk, she's really lucky to be alive." Qian Renxue grabbed Xiao Wu's ear and looked at her eyes, which had lost their sparkle.

"Third...Third...Brother..."

The will to survive is truly terrifying. Even so, Xiao Wu has not given up. Her body is still intact, not just her soul.

Xiao Wu's dry, cracked lips twitched slightly as she murmured a name that was both laughable and pathetic.

"You...!" Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly recognized the woman who had lifted her up. Her face showed terror, and then...

Qian Renxue silenced his voice.

"Hoh—hoh—" Xiao Wu's voice was hoarse as if it had been smoked, and she could only make indistinguishable sounds. However, Qian Renxue could read what she was about to say from the fluctuations in her soul.

"Don't worry." Qian Renxue said, pressing one hand against her cheek and the other hand holding Xiao Wu's ear. "I know you're still waiting for Tang San to come and save you, but unfortunately, he's gone."

"...?" Xiao Wu tilted her head, seemingly not understanding.

"You don't need to know anything, just listen to me—" Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly fixed on Xiao Wu's eyes, and a subtle, imperceptible power was injected into her mind.

"Your Tang San is now in another star system. To remember you, he created someone to replace you, and that person bore him a son."

"But unfortunately, Xiao Wu, who was created, died. Tang San was very sad and even wanted to reincarnate to find her." Qian Renxue recalled the scene she saw in the deduction and then made up a story.

"Your identity has been replaced, which makes me feel a little sorry for you, because I've also had this experience of being replaced," Qian Renxue said slowly. "Even after that puppet died, Tang San still wanted to go find her. He disregarded his status as a God King and wanted to commit suicide to go find her."

She unblocked Xiaowu's vocal cords, allowing her to speak normally.

"No way, how could this be!" Xiao Wu said sadly, "San Gege, he said he would love me forever!"

Qian Renxue tilted her head and then released a light screen. The images on the screen flowed, showing Tang San and Xiao Wu emerging from a hot spring in the God Realm. Ripples spread across the water, and steam enveloped their faces.

Xiao Wu, wearing a soaked dress, ran through the Sea God's Temple. For some reason, it was raining inside. She clutched her chest as she ran, and mischievous steam rose from the ground, lifting the hem of her dress and revealing the alluring outline of her underwear through the wet fabric—a sight both salty and beautiful. The scene flashed rapidly, as if an unseen hand was pulling the timeline forward. Finally, Tang San was holding Xiao Wu's remains, clutching the braid of hair she had given him, heartbroken as he watched her transform into starlight.

The scene that Qian Renxue chose was one that Xiao Wu in front of her had never experienced.

And until Tang San's self-collapse, Xiao Wu was unaware that the Tang San in the scene had already been reincarnated.

"How could this be..." Xiao Wu was stunned.

"Don't you want to go find him?" Qian Renxue said slowly. "Look, this Xiao Wu is already dead. There is no such thing as a replacement in this world. The so-called replacement is just the previous one being forgotten."

Qian Renxue's words were gentle, yet they sounded like a demon's curse and whisper.

Furthermore, the scene Xiao Wu witnessed forced her limited mental capacity to believe that it was all real.

The scenes were so realistic that some of the things in them were actually things she and Tang San had agreed to do, but they didn't get to do them because she ran down to the mortal realm too quickly.

No matter how much Qian Renxue faked it, she couldn't possibly know the secrets she and Tang San were whispering in the God Realm, right?

"The one who married Tang San back then was you." A hint of crimson flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. "You were the one who wore the wedding dress. Who is this person in the picture?"

"Why did you show this to me?" Xiao Wu raised her head with difficulty.

"Alright, now you know to ask why. It seems you've started thinking about things since leaving Tang San." Qian Renxue said with a hint of amusement, "Because I want to kill Tang San, and you want to find Tang San. Our goals are the same, aren't they?"

"?" Electrolux felt something was off when he heard this, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why. It made perfect sense.

Xiao Wu said with difficulty, "You want to kill him?"

"Shouldn't I have killed him?" Qian Renxue tilted her head. "But don't overthink it. I was just using you to find the path to that starry sky, which isn't even in our current timeline."

"Only by finding him will I have a chance to kill him, and only then will you have a chance to see him again. As for what happens after that, that's for later, isn't it?"

Listening to Qian Renxue's words, Xiao Wu felt her brain wasn't working properly again. She couldn't understand what she was saying, but she could sense her role in the conversation.

"Once I find my third brother, I'll merge with him first, use the power of the two gods to defeat you, and then return to his side. Anyway, that puppet is already dead," Xiao Wu thought to herself.

As expected, Qian Renxue is still not as good as Third Brother. Third Brother can travel through time and space. Although I don't know what traveling through time and space means, anything that Third Brother can do is the most amazing.

Xiao Wu was unaware that her thoughts and ideas were completely transparent to Qian Renxue, because Qian Renxue was already a higher being than her.

Qian Renxue dealt with her as easily as an ordinary person would deal with a person drawn on a piece of paper. With a casual smear, she could change the person's form, and with a tear, she could declare the person dead. The person on the drawing could not resist.

"How is it?" Qian Renxue leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear and whispered with a smile.

Xiao Wu acted impulsively and immediately agreed: "Okay, I promise you."

"Very good." The blood-red light in Qian Renxue's eyes faded, and the little devil silently entered Xiao Wu's mental imprint and then hid away.

Their plan was simple: in a future unknown to Xiao Wu, Tang San would commit suicide and reincarnate to find Xiao Wu's reincarnation, relying on the indescribable power of "love" to succeed in one go.

"What should I do?" Xiao Wu asked blankly.

"Snap—"

Qian Renxue directly attacked, smashing Xiao Wu's body into powder, leaving only a trace of her divine consciousness imprint.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Wu's divine imprint asked.

"Don't worry, your broken body is missing limbs, let alone time travel, you'd die as soon as you enter the universe." Qian Renxue sneered, "For you, only this kind of pure energy has the potential to transcend time and space."

"How do I know if you're lying to me?!" Xiao Wu cried out in panic.

I just had a chance to see Tang San again, and now it's turned out like this again!

"If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago." Qian Renxue said expressionlessly, "Why wait until now?"

That seems to be true.

Xiao Wu felt a little relieved.

Within her divine imprint, the little devil lay dormant. At the same time, utilizing her own unique characteristics, she began to subtly influence Xiao Wu's divine imprint, causing it to gradually upgrade.

The time travel that the little angel Qian Renxue mentioned actually utilizes the power of the little devil, with Xiao Wu's divine imprint serving as a "vehicle".

She was too lazy to explain much to Xiaowu.

"Old sir, may I borrow your Tower of Eternity again?"

"No problem," Electrolux smiled. "I'll perfect that beacon technology as soon as possible. How long will it take you?"

"It can be completed within a thousand years," Qian Renxue said solemnly. "My return this time has brought some energy from the God Realm, and the golden age of Douluo Star will be even more magnificent. The era where, tens of thousands of years ago, Title Douluo lived an extra hundred years with each level increase is about to arrive. So I can wait."

"Alright, let's wait for good news," Electrolux said solemnly.

Qian Renxue stood up, and then, carrying Xiao Wu's divine imprint, entered the Tower of Eternity to prepare for seclusion.

Next, all you need to do is wait.

……

Time flies, and more than a decade later, Shen Yuanyi emerged from inside the Eternal Tower and met Electrolux, Lin Mengtong, Ye Xishui, and Kong Deming.

"You're back." Ye Xishui's beautiful eyes saw Shen Yuanyi and noticed the change in her.

It was a feeling completely different from Shen Yuanyi's original thunder power—it must have evolved within Qian Renxue's microcosm.

"Miss asked me to pass on a message to you and everyone else," Shen Yuanyi said. "She said that things are progressing more smoothly than expected, and it probably won't take a thousand years. At most, it should take another two hundred years to locate it."

Just then, the Tower of Eternity trembled slightly.

Electrolux seemed to receive a message, and with a wave of his hand, he temporarily relinquished the right to use the Tower of Eternity.

The Tower of Eternity flashed and disappeared from the Land of the Dead.

"It seems the time for our expedition is fast approaching," Electrox said calmly.
