Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 346 The Prelude to the War of the Gods (Part 1)

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue with eyes full of affection.

As the guardian of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu exists for the sake of the Angel God's inheritance. Like Poseidon, only by sacrificing himself can the Angel God's final inheritance be activated.

Therefore, Sendou Ryu, who served the Angel God his entire life, was destined not to see the moment when the Angel God's glory reappeared on earth.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that no one causes any trouble.

"Haha, old man, there's no need to be so sad. Of course, you'll see the moment Xue'er becomes a god!"

Amidst hearty laughter, Xiao Yu appeared inside the Temple of Angels.

"Xiao Yu!"

Qian Renxue called out excitedly and rushed into Xiao Yu's arms like a swallow nestling in its mother's embrace.

Although news between the two has never stopped, they have indeed not seen each other for more than half a year.

"Hey kid, instead of commanding from the front lines, what are you doing here?"

Qian Daoliu frowned as he watched his granddaughter's aloof demeanor crumble instantly because of Xiao Yu's appearance.

If Qian Daoliu hadn't known he couldn't beat Xiao Yu, he would have definitely tried to kick him out.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa, I came here specifically for you."

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Qian Renxue seemed to realize that her actions of throwing herself into Xiao Yu's arms in front of her grandfather were somewhat inappropriate. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she withdrew from Xiao Yu's embrace and moved to Qian Daoliu's side. She said softly, "Grandpa, Xiao Yu has already told me what the conditions are for starting the Angel God Trial. Why have you been keeping such a big thing from me?"

"You know!"

Qian Daoliu couldn't help but glare at Xiao Yu behind Qian Renxue. He knew his granddaughter's personality very well. The reason he kept it from her was because if she knew that opening the Nine Trials of Angels required her grandfather to sacrifice his life, she might choose to give up the final divine trial.

Qian Daoliu gently patted Qian Renxue's head and said softly, "Xiaoxue, it's the dream of our Qian family for generations to bring the Angel God back to the world. Grandpa has waited for this day for over a hundred years. Let Grandpa fulfill this dream, okay?"

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu turned his gaze to Xiao Yu opposite him and said in a less-than-friendly tone, "Treat Xiao Xue well from now on. If you treat her badly, I will haunt you even as a vengeful ghost!"

"No, sir!"

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "Although I certainly won't hurt Xue'er, if you really want to vent your anger on me, I think it would be better if you came to my door in person to teach me a lesson!"

"What?"

Looking at Xiao Yu, who always wore a smile, Qian Daoliu had a guess in his mind: Could it be that...

"good!"

Xiao Yu nodded to Qian Daoliu: "Although you need to make a sacrifice to start the Divine Trial of Inheritance, as long as your soul is preserved intact, you can be resurrected when Xue'er achieves godhood."

"Really?"

Qian Daoliu's face showed surprise. Although he had long been prepared to sacrifice himself for the God of Angels, he naturally wanted to live if there was any hope of survival.

"Of course, Grandpa!"

Qian Renxue took Qian Daoliu's arm and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "I called Xiao Yu back from the front line for this very reason. Xiao Yu has now achieved godhood, and with his help, we can preserve Grandpa's soul intact."

"Not only that!"

Xiao Yu said, "Once Xue'er breaks through to the divine position, we can promote the old man from a divine servant to a divine official. Although a divine official does not have a dedicated divine position, he is still a genuine level 100 expert and also possesses eternal life."

This huge surprise made Qian Daoliu feel like his world was bright. He had thought that was all there was to his life, but he never expected that there would be such a possibility in the future.

"etc!"

After a pause, Qian Daoliu suddenly realized what was happening. He sternly glanced at Qian Renxue and Xiao Yu, and said, "You two knew about this all along, but you kept it from me. It's made me so sad lately, not knowing I'll ever see my little Xue again!"

Qian Renxue snorted and pouted, saying, "Since Grandpa also kept the sacrifice a secret from me, of course Xue'er should punish Grandpa too!"

"You little rascal, you're already a mother, but you still act like a child."

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue with doting eyes, feeling extremely relieved. His biggest worry was that Qian Renxue would witness his demise once the Divine Trial began, which would severely affect her mental state during the trial. Now, that worry was gone. He patted Qian Renxue's head again and said, "Little Xue, let's hurry and start as soon as possible!"

"Um!"

Qian Renxue nodded gently.

"Come with me!"

Qian Daoliu released his martial spirit, and his whole body was surrounded by a golden light. Nine spirit rings, eight black and one red, appeared neatly on his body, and three pairs of pure white wings were released from his back.

With a flap of its six wings, Qian Daoliu accelerated rapidly, its body hurtling towards the enormous angel statue.

Qian Renxue and Xiao Yu followed closely behind, floating up and crashing into the angel statue behind Qian Daoliu.

A bizarre scene unfolded: when Qian Daoliu's body suddenly crashed into the enormous angel statue, there was no violent collision. Instead, it was as if he had struck a layer of water; a flash of light, and he vanished.

Qian Renxue and Xiao Yu were in the same situation, following closely behind Qian Daoliu, and disappeared into the angel statue.

The vortex between the god's eyebrows slowly disappeared, and the illusory feeling also vanished. Amidst the flashing light, everything returned to calm, but Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and Xiao Yu disappeared from the temple.

Just as the three entered the land where the Angel God's legacy was passed down.

Outside the temple, a purplish-black figure emerged from the shadows. Her appearance was far from flattering; she had a blue face and fangs, and her purple armor was shrouded in a layer of malevolent purple aura. She exuded a dense and intense evil aura, and four enormous scythes extended from both sides of her back.

The newcomer was none other than Bibi Dong, who had already attained the status of a Rakshasa deity.

Bibi Dong inherited the Rakshasa Godhood half a month ago. Her strength was already the closest to level 100 among the current god inheritors. The reason she lagged behind Qian Renxue in the original work was because the Empress of the Spirit Empire distracted her too much. Especially when Tang San returned strongly from Seagod Island, she was unable to focus on the God Trial.

Now, after the battle of Wuhun City, although Bibi Dong lost everything, she can devote all her energy to completing the divine test. The humiliation of the battle of Wuhun City constantly spurred her on, so it is only natural that she achieved godhood earlier than Qian Renxue.
