Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 18 18. Father and Mother

In her previous life, her mother's dying words revealed the truth to her: her mother disliked her because her teacher, her father, had broken up her relationship with Yu Xiaogang and forced her to give birth to her. From that moment on, a crack appeared in her image of her father.

This incident became a legendary story for Yu Xiaogang. After his mother's death, Yu Xiaogang gleefully exaggerated the incident in his biography, using his father's actions against his mother as a tool for the victor to humiliate the loser. The angel race was thus disgraced, and for tens of thousands of years, they were nailed to the pillar of shame, unable to recover.

At first, Qian Renxue also resented her father, but she had 20,000 years to think about everything in the past.

Isn’t the mother wrong?
Why did her mother fall in love with Yu Xiaogang? The Spirit Hall had made her who she was, so she shouldn't have loved Yu Xiaogang enough to elope. Much of Yu Xiaogang's knowledge, including his status as a worshiper and the secrets of the Spirit Hall, such as his angel soul bones, was revealed to him by her mother. For a Saintess of a certain faction, these were things she shouldn't do.

Mother didn't realize her actions had already betrayed Spirit Hall. Father had every reason to punish her, but he chose the wrong method.

The fault cannot be attributed to only one party.

Before her death, her mother still didn't realize her mistakes. In her mind, she should have quit the Spirit Hall and eloped with Yu Xiaogang. In her eyes, it was her father who destroyed her life, and it was the Spirit Hall that trapped her.

There are two truths for people: one is the truth of facts, and the other is the truth of needs. Subconsciously, people tend to distort the truth to their own advantage and believe it. This is the truth of needs.

The truth her mother told her before her death was the truth she needed. But what was the truth? Living again, Qian Renxue wanted to find the source of this grudge with her own eyes.

……

Once upon a time, she was a beggar in the village. Her parents were missing and she grew up eating at other people's homes.

However, her life took a turn for the better when she was six years old. During the annual martial spirit awakening, she awakened a terrifying spider with innate full spirit power.

When she saw that others only had one martial soul seal, but she had two, she naively asked the deacon: "Why do I still have a martial soul?"

She still remembered that the deacon was stunned, then grabbed her hand and asked excitedly, "What's your name?"

"My name is Bibi Dong."

"Bibi Dong, are you willing to join the Spirit Hall?" The deacon asked with unquestionable urgency, and even the strength of his grip on her hands increased.

Bibi Dong nodded painfully.

As a result, her spirit awakening caused a sensation throughout the Spirit Hall. After being reported to the higher levels, she was discovered by the Pope, who specifically asked her to be sent to the Spirit Hall.

Under the escort of Jinzhong Douluo, she came to the majestic and magnificent Wuhun City and saw his figure in the city.

He was tall and handsome, his hands clasped behind his back, standing beneath the angel statue in the Pope's Palace. Suddenly, he turned, walked over to Bibi Dong, knelt down, extended his hand toward her, and said gently, "Will you become my disciple? I will train you to become the strongest of this era, even surpassing that which is difficult for mortals to achieve."

"If I become the strongest, will I not be hungry and have full meals every day?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Haha." He chuckled and said, "As long as you become my disciple, my servants will bring you whatever you want to eat." "Okay, I'm willing to be your disciple." Bibi Dong reached out and held his hand.

"My name is Qianxunji. From now on, you will be my disciple and the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall: Bibi Dong."

Qian Renxue sat atop the angel statue, using her own angel head spirit bone to conceal herself. With her current 99th-level Quasi-God strength, even the three Ultimate Douluos wouldn't be able to detect her presence without using their divine senses, let alone Qian Xunji, who had only just entered the 91st-level Titled Douluo realm.

Qian Renxue quietly watched the scene when Bibi Dong first met Qian Xunji, the moment they became his apprentice. She watched Qian Xunji holding Bibi Dong's hand as they walked around the Spirit Hall, introducing her to everything around them. This scene was incredibly heartwarming, like they were like a pair of parents.

Who could have imagined that more than ten years later, the relationship between father and mother would be as hostile as fire and water, father raped mother, mother killed father, and finally, before she died, she still hated him to the core?
Could it be that Yu Xiaogang has such great destructive power?
Qian Renxue was baffled. She looked at her young mother and saw a flame flickering in her spiritual sea, a flame like the flame of a lit candle.

"This is..." Qian Renxue was shocked.

As the owner of an angelic martial spirit, and a god-like being, Qian Renxue immediately recognized the true nature of the fire. It was a spiritual fire condensed from an angel's mental power, capable of disrupting human cognition and trapping them in their environment. This was the ability of the angel's head soul bone.

"This..." Qian Renxue was filled with doubts. Although she felt ashamed of her father's behavior, if this was the case, it would be even more impossible for her mother to escape her father's control. How did she finally see Yu Xiaogang...

Could it be that this is another method used by the Shura God?

"You saw it too." Huo Yuhao's voice came from the Ring of God.

"Your Majesty the God King, why is this happening?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Instead of me telling you the truth, don't you think it would be better for you to discover the truth and make your own choice?" Huo Yuhao asked in return.

He continued, "To achieve the corresponding godhood, whether it's through comprehending the laws, becoming a god through faith, or becoming a god through the divine examination, one must conform to the path of godhood and gain affinity with the godhood. The Sea God relied on the faith of the ocean to become a god, and the Asura God began with slaughter. Therefore, clearing the Slaughter City and gaining the Killing God Realm is the starting point of the Asura God examination. As for how to become an Angel God, you know it better than I do. This is all I can remind you of."

"Thank you very much." Qian Renxue nodded thoughtfully.

"You will be in charge of the arrangements for the Spirit Hall, but I have a purpose. First, if Yu Xiaogang comes to the Spirit Hall in the future, then make him a master like in his previous life. Then, don't kill Yu Xiaogang. The rest is up to you." Huo Yuhao said.

Qian Renxue said, "Well, on behalf of the Spirit Hall, I will definitely fulfill your request."

……

Divine Realm, Eternal Temple

After concluding his conversation with Qian Renxue, Huo Yuhao set his sights on the Douluo Continent. While the power and authority of the gods were wonderful, he couldn't yet easily descend to the mortal realm as he had in Tang San's time. After all, the Asura God was still watching him, waiting for him to make a mistake, and then he would join forces with the other God Kings to judge him like he had judged the Dragon King.

However, Huo Yuhao had made some preparations. Before ascending, he left behind a spare body, which he had frozen in the Eternal Forbidden Land in the far north by the Snow Empress. This was his preparation for a future journey across the continent.
