Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

The feeling of weightlessness receded as quickly as the tide.

When Qian Xunji opened his eyes again, the spatial tearing force caused by traversing worlds had subsided. In its place was a vast and boundless pure divine power.

Before your eyes stands a magnificent, pure golden temple towering above the sea of ​​clouds.

They're back.

[The Inner Realm], outside the Temple of Angels.

Qian Xunji took a deep breath and handed the little Huangtian in his arms to Xiao Qing beside him.

"You all stay outside the hall and wait for me." Qian Xunji lowered his voice, his gaze sweeping over the young people before finally settling on Xiaoqing. "Keep an eye on her, and don't let her wander off even for a moment."

Xiaoqing took the little emperor and nodded.

Chihiro turned around and looked at the two tightly closed gilded doors, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes. The reason he hurriedly withdrew from the surface world was not only because the evil god king of that world had intervened, but also because he had to control the pace of things on his side.

Xiao Huangtian's identity and the path she's on are far too sensitive. He doesn't believe that directly revealing the plan to revive the Dragon God would ultimately lead to a happy ending for everyone. If it weren't for the extreme danger of leaving Xiao Huangtian alone in the [Outer Realm], Qian Xunji wouldn't even want to bring her back to the [Inner Realm].

After straightening her robes, Qianxunji climbed the steps and pushed open the temple door alone.

The spacious hall was devoid of any superfluous furnishings. At the far end of the hall, on a throne, sat a divine figure shrouded in pure golden light. The figure's face was indistinct, but its overwhelming aura, enough to command the very heavens and earth, truly permeated every inch of space.

Angel King.

Qianxun stopped at the bottom of the steps and bowed slightly.

"You're back." The divine figure on the throne spoke slowly, his tone devoid of joy or sorrow. "You went to that other world. What was the result?"

"I have fulfilled my mission as the Divine King. I have successfully triggered the Angelic Trial in the Spirit City of the [Main Realm], obtained the complete Nine Trials of the Angel, and taken advantage of this trip to complete the first three trials."

Upon hearing these words, the golden light on the throne rippled slightly, clearly indicating satisfaction with the progress.

Qian Xunji continued without pausing, "Not only that. My son, Qian San, led his team to an absolute victory in the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies in that world, crushing the so-called geniuses of the [Main World] with overwhelming force and winning the final championship. His name and strength have become renowned throughout the Main World."

At this point, Qian Xunji lowered his head slightly, his tone carrying a perfectly measured hint of reverence: "More importantly, during the competition, Qian San gained the recognition of the [Main World] God. He obtained the qualification to inherit the title of 'King of Kindness' in the Main World. Although the final content of the Ninth Trial requires him to have a life-or-death duel with Tang San from that world, obtaining this key is already the most crucial step."

Qian Xunji's report seemed detailed, but he concealed the most crucial detail: the victor's partner in this battle would simultaneously gain the position of the Evil God King.

This was a plan Qian Xunji had made while he was in the lower realm. Although the Angel God King was their current backer, the divine realm was always driven by self-interest. He doubted whether it would be harmful if the higher-ups knew that Qian San and Xiao Qing might inherit the legacy of two God Kings in the future, but he was certain it wouldn't be beneficial.

"Good, very good!"

The voice of the angel king revealed undisguised admiration.

"When you initiated the Angel God Trials in the Inner Realm, your third trial only had a name, but no actual test content." The Angel God King raised his right hand, his wide sleeves waving gently in the air. "Now you have crossed realms, stirred up waves there, and successfully brought back the divine throne. This trip can be considered a successful completion of your third trial."

As the God-King swung his arm down, a dazzling golden beam of light descended directly from the dome, enveloping Qian Xunji entirely.

A grand and solemn notification sounded precisely in Qian Xunji's mind:

[The Angel's Test, the third test, is complete.]

[Evaluation: Perfect.]

[Reward: Angelic Godhood affinity increased by 15%. All Soul Ring age increased by 10,000 years.]

[Angel's Divine Armor - A piece of left arm bone.]

Qian Xunji closed his eyes, feeling the sudden surge of power within his body.

The spirit rings beneath his feet uncontrollably surfaced, changing color once more. At the same time, a dark gold arm bone, its surface shimmering with divine runes, took shape within the pillar of light. Without undergoing any painful fusion process, it directly transformed into a pool of golden liquid, seeping into Qian Xunji's body through the pores of his left arm and perfectly fitting into the bone.

Click click click.

A faint cracking sound rang out. Qian Xunji clenched his left fist, feeling the divine power in his left arm, which made him feel even more confident.

As the beam of light dissipated, Qianxunji opened her eyes again and immediately got to the point.

"Senior, I have another extremely urgent matter to report." Qian Xunji's expression turned serious.

"explain."

"In the final moments of the finals, my son Qian San, in order to eliminate any future trouble, did not hesitate to use a wide-range destructive soul skill to forcibly kill Tang San from that world. He was confirmed dead on the spot, and even his body was pierced through." Qian Xunji spoke faster and faster, "But just as we were preparing to retreat, a dark purple divine light suddenly descended. That divine light directly repaired Tang San's physical body, forcibly reviving him."

"This junior has concluded that it was a god from the outer realm who personally intervened. To prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, this junior immediately led his men back to the inner realm."

The atmosphere in the main hall instantly turned cold after Qian Xunji's report.

The once surging golden sea of ​​clouds seemed to freeze, and an invisible aura of killing intent spread throughout the temple.

To Qian Xunji's surprise, the Angel King did not show much shock or anger. The god on the throne remained silent for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.

"So you couldn't hold back after all?"

The Angel God-King leaned forward: "You did the right thing. If you had continued to linger there, and the God-King of the [Main Realm] had forcibly sealed off the space, none of you would have been able to return."

"Senior, do you mean...?" Qian Xunji asked tentatively.

"This was entirely within our expectations," the Angel King interrupted him.

"The gods of the mortal realm aren't blind. Since we dared to forcibly break through the barrier and send you over to disrupt their fortunes, we're naturally prepared for them to retaliate. Since we dared to do it, we have the confidence to back it up!"

The Angel King stood up, his enormous wings of light fully unfurled, and dazzling divine power surged within the hall.

"This is no longer a situation that you lower-realm soul masters can control. You should take them back to the lower realm to rest and digest what you've gained this time." The Angel God-King waved his hand. "Since the gods of the mortal realm have already revealed their true colors, I will now go and discuss countermeasures with the other God-Kings. When the time is right, I will contact you again."
