In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

"If you want to change the world, you must have enough power," Qian Daoliu said slowly. "And in this world, only God can truly change everything."

"God?" Lin Hai's lips curled into a cold smile. "Perhaps, but I don't believe that gods are invincible."

"Oh? You intend to challenge a god?" Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised by Lin Hai's words.

"I think the only thing separating me from godhood is this!"

"Hehehe!" Qian Daoliu's laughter rang out.

"To reiterate, I have to admit your strength, but I also have to admit your ambitions are sky-high."

"Have you ever truly understood God?" Qian Daoliu stared intently at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai stared at Qian Daoliu for a long time before shaking his head.

"Although I have no knowledge of the gods of this world."

"But I have truly come into contact with the gods of another world."

When Lin Hai uttered his first words, Qian Daoliu's lips curled into a smile, seemingly pleased that he had outmaneuvered Lin Hai.

But as soon as Lin Hai uttered his last sentence, the smile on his lips vanished.

Lin Hai's words were truly astonishing. He had thought that although he, as a divine servant, could not defeat Lin Hai, his status would be enough to surprise Lin Hai.

However, Lin Hai told him that although he had never met the gods of the Douluo world, he had already met the gods of another world.

This made Qian Daoliu even more curious about the other world that Lin Hai had mentioned.

Qian Daoliu closed his eyes in deep thought, wondering if Lin Hai had any other motives.

Lin Hai seemed to have seen through Qian Daoliu's thoughts, and he said, "Grand Elder, there's no need for that."

"I came here with only one purpose: to verify whether my current level is as I expected."

"So you already knew my identity?" Qian Daoliu stared intently at Lin Hai.

"Is it wrong to want to pursue the highest and become an immortal being like a god?" Lin Hai asked Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu: "..."

Lin Hai was absolutely right; this is something everyone wants to pursue. Even he had once pursued it, but he wasn't chosen, so he settled for becoming a divine servant!

"Becoming a god?! Hehehe, it's not as easy as you think!" Moreover, it seems that Lin Hai is preparing to create his own godhood. This is much more difficult than inheriting a godhood.

"However, you are quite right about that, High Priest."

"The path I chose is more difficult, but it never goes against my conscience."

"And how can you prove that I don't have the ability to fight a god?" Lin Hai looked at Qian Daoliu with a half-smile.

Qian Daoliu's heart tightened. Looking at Lin Hai's expression, he knew that Lin Hai was hiding something else.

"So what are you going to do next?"

"Becoming a god through the power of faith?" Qian Daoliu frowned after guessing this result. However, Qian Daoliu guessed this result because the gods they were familiar with in modern times, such as angel gods and sea gods, all created their divine positions and became gods in this way.

Having figured it out, Qian Daoliu suddenly glared coldly at Lin Hai and said in a low voice, "Hmph, you really do have ill intentions!"

"What do you mean?"

"Since you aspire to godhood, you must know what it takes to achieve godhood through faith!"

"It needs the faith of countless people!"

"And for you, the easiest way is to unify the continent."

"Xiaoxue unintentionally became a tool for your ambition." Qian Daoliu's eyes were full of ruthlessness!

"..." Lin Hai remained silent. He did have some other reasons for getting to know Qian Renxue, but none of them were as sordid as Qian Daoliu described.

My initial contact with Qian Renxue was partly due to my goodwill towards her, and partly because I wanted to leverage the power behind her to obtain a high-level soul ring.

"I don't need to achieve godhood in the way you describe."

"For me, the best method is to use force to overcome all other methods."

"Hmph! I'll keep an eye on you!"

"If I find out you've done anything else, I'll risk my life to drag you down with me."

Lin Hai smiled but did not give a direct response, instead changing the subject.

"You're right, Elder Qian. Perhaps I am indeed not qualified."

"But that's also why I persuaded Qian Renxue to return."

"It seems that a successor of a god has appeared on the mainland, but he belongs to an opposing force."

"Oh? Who is it?" Lin Hai's question caught Qian Daoliu's attention.

"Old Qian should know about the Clear Sky Hammer, right?"

"Hmm!" Qian Daoliu basically stayed in the Hall of Worship and didn't care much about what was happening outside. His only goal now was to hope that Qian Renxue could inherit the legacy of the Angel God.

"It seems that Haotian Douluo's son has already obtained the Sea God's inheritance."

"And this Tang San is the mastermind behind the Tianxing Empire's Snow Star."

"So, you want me to kill this little guy with the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul?" Qian Daoliu stared intently at Lin Hai, seemingly trying to deduce something from the expression on Lin Hai's face.

However, Qian Daoliu was disappointed; Lin Hai maintained a faint smile on his face. This made it impossible for Qian Daoliu to discern anything at the moment.

"Ha, you're going to be disappointed! You actually know me, so you must know about what happened between us back then."

"Sky Douluo, Sea God Douluo, and... Haotian Douluo! Is that right?"

"Since you know that, you should know very well that I will not make a move!" Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Hai calmly.

"Boy, I'm quite curious, why don't you take action yourself?" Qian Daoliu continued.

"I don't want to be exposed to God's gaze too early, except for this one, of course."

"Right now, I could probably avoid their spying on me if I wanted to," Lin Hai said confidently.

Lin Hai's confidence stems from the supreme artifact, the Throne of the God of Eternity and Creation.

"Oh? Avoid the eyes of the gods?" Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow, seemingly not quite believing Lin Hai's words.

After all, the power of the gods is beyond human comprehension.

Lin Hai smiled slightly, offering no further explanation, and simply said, "Elder Qian, you only need to know that I am not speaking without reason."

Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Hai's confident appearance. Although he still had doubts, he understood that Lin Hai must have his reasons for saying so.

At that moment, Qian Daoliu stopped pursuing the question and instead asked, "So, how do you plan to deal with Tang San?"

"We'll meet force with force and water with earth," Lin Hai said calmly. "Besides, I'm not without a backup plan."

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu's heart stirred, as if he had thought of something, but he did not say it aloud.

The two chatted about other things for a while, and then Lin Hai said goodbye and left.

"I may need to stay here with you for a while longer."

"Whatever! Just don't bother Xiaoxue."

……

After Lin Hai and Qian Daoliu finished their conversation, everyone was allowed to enter.

"grandfather!"

"Greetings, fellow worshippers!" Lin Hai greeted the worshippers of the Spirit Hall with a smile.

Qian Renxue came to Lin Hai's side and asked, "What just happened? Why was there such a loud noise?"

"It's nothing! I just tested it out."

"Test what?" the beautiful woman frowned.

Lin Hai smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.

"Big brother!"

"A grand offering!"

"..."

The first thing the group of worshippers did upon entering was to greet you as you signed in.

"Um!"

"Big brother, just now..." Golden Crocodile Douluo said hesitantly.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was forced to shut up under Qian Daoliu's gaze.

"Xiaoxue!" Qian Daoliu called out.

"Yes, Grandpa!" Qian Renxue left Lin Hai's side and came to Qian Daoliu's side.

"Since you've made up your mind, you should prepare yourself well in advance." Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue in her previous life, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Yes, the path I choose never goes against my own heart."

As soon as Qian Renxue uttered her first sentence, Qian Daoliu felt a strange sensation rise in his heart. It was as if he had just heard those words before.

"As inheritors of the angelic lineage, our original intention is to protect all people under heaven, drive away evil, and give this continent a bright future."

"Soul beasts have risen to prominence in this world. The many 100,000-year-old soul beasts we saw in the Star Dou Great Forest last time are, in any case, a threat to us."

"Ambitious individuals continue to rise, and on this chaotic continent, they act with impunity, harming countless people in pursuit of their ambitions."

"One country, four empires—such a division is far too cruel for the people of this continent."

"Moreover, peace is now a luxury on this land. Without the Spirit Hall's restraint, the countries are constantly at war."

"Grandpa, your decision to hand over the Spirit Hall to that woman was a mistake."

"Look at this continent now, the reason it's in such chaos is all because of that woman!"

"The Spirit Hall was originally an independent force, a spirit master force that aimed to balance the power of various factions on this continent."

"It is undeniable that she developed the Spirit Hall exceptionally well during her tenure."

"But all of this was revealed when she announced the establishment of the Spirit Empire by the Spirit Hall, which fully revealed her ambition."

"I've told you before that woman is ambitious, and not just ambitious, but extremely ambitious."

"What did she take the Spirit Hall for? A tool to achieve her own goals?"

"She has utterly trampled on the faith of my angelic race!"

"Xiaoxue, are you blaming me?" Qian Daoliu's tone became somewhat guilty.

My opinion on his personal attitude towards Bibi Dong is quite complex. When Qian Daoliu was still active, Bibi Dong was indeed the undisputed genius of their Spirit Hall.

The possession of twin martial souls and innate full soul power undoubtedly heralds an even brighter future for the Spirit Hall.

However, his rebellious son chose an extreme approach in order to keep this genius.

Qian Daoliu didn't think this approach was wrong. However, it was also quite normal. Anyone would find it unacceptable for their family to betray the family that had nurtured and cared for them for someone else.

However, Qian Daoliu knew about his son's actions at the time. Therefore, he felt very indebted to Bibi Dong.

But it is this sense of indebtedness that has led to the current disastrous consequences.

"But you should also know that that person is, after all, yours..." Qian Daoliu paused at the right moment.

"Hehehe! Grandpa, I don't care anymore."

"She is my mother, that's true, but has that woman ever considered the duties of a mother?"

"As far back as I can remember, all I've ever seen in her eyes is hatred."

"This kind of maternal love is too cheap and too disgusting!"

"Moreover, her methods have completely plunged our Spirit Hall into an irrecoverable predicament!"

"Ugh!"

"I can't control it anymore, the future is in your hands, Xiaoxue!"

"I hope you can help me rectify the mistakes I have made," Qian Daoliu sighed.

"I will!" Qian Renxue's voice was very firm.

"If you've made up your mind, then go for it!"

After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, Qian Renxue glanced back at Lin Hai.

She could tell from the sounds that came from the main hall that Lin Hai's strength must be extraordinary. There weren't many people left who could make her grandfather take action, but just now, she keenly sensed that Lin Hai had done it.

"Lin Hai, just you wait! I will definitely do it, I will definitely surpass you."

"My esteemed elders, the final glory of the Spirit Hall rests entirely on your shoulders!"

"Xiaoxue, go ahead with confidence. My old bones can still handle it." Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Qian Renxue with great satisfaction. The little girl from back then has finally grown up.

"Young Master, please rest assured. With me, Jianglong, here, the Spirit Hall will not fall."

"Hehehe, I, the Lion, do possess some skill, young master, rest assured!"

"Although the Spirit Empire has been established, the core of our Spirit Hall is still the Elder Hall!" Qingluan Douluo's voice was clear and melodious.

"Hahahaha! Little Xue'er, we old men are waiting for you to lead us to rebuild the glory of the Spirit Hall." The voice of the Light Feather Douluo was very youthful and cheerful.

"Young Master, Qianjun will always protect you."

"Young Master, Old Ghost and I will always follow in your footsteps. May the glory of the Spirit Hall shine upon the continent once more."

"May the glory of the Spirit Hall shine upon the continent once more!" Ghost Douluo said, following Orange Douluo.

"May the glory of the Spirit Hall shine upon the continent once more!!" This time, all the elders in the Hall of Elders said in unison, except for Qian Daoliu.

"Thank you for your offerings!"

"Go! The path you have chosen has never gone against your heart, but there is only one truth in this world, and the strong are the eternal topic of this world."

"The words of the strong are the rules of this world."

Lin Hai's words caused Qian Renxue to pause for a moment. However, this pause did not last long, and Qian Renxue resolutely headed deeper into the palace, behind the angel statue.
