Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

……

"Xue'er," Qian Daoliu's tone became solemn and dignified, "the past cannot be changed. But the future is still in your hands. To restore the glory of the Angel God is the lifelong wish of our clan, and now you have taken the final step."

His gaze turned toward the depths of the secret realm, where the phantom of an incomparably magnificent palace, radiating endless holy light, was slowly coalescing—it was the true Temple of Angels!

"There's not much more Grandpa can do for you." A dazzling golden light began to emanate from Qian Daoliu's body, and his aura continued to rise, as if he were burning everything he had. "With him by your side... Grandpa can rest assured now."

He took one last deep look at Qian Renxue, his eyes filled with reluctance, expectation, and a sense of relief and resolute determination.

"Don't waste your talent, and don't... let down those who are truly good to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Daoliu's figure transformed into an incomparably pure and magnificent holy pillar of light, soaring into the sky and pouring directly into the slowly opening Angel Temple!

Sacrifice! With all of one's life and cultivation, open the final gate to the divine realm for the inheritor!

"Grandpa—!!" Qian Renxue cried out in anguish, but it was too late to stop her.

Golden light rained down, filling the secret realm with a tragic yet sacred atmosphere.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Xuanming slowly awoke from his deep sleep.

The fatigue from excessive mental exertion still lingered, but the injury to his chest had mostly healed thanks to his powerful self-healing ability.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he felt was a completely different, powerful pressure filled with a sacred and luminous aura!
This aura originated from Qian Renxue, who was guarding his side.

At this moment, Qian Renxue was enveloped in a faint golden halo, and her six pure white wings were faintly visible on her back. She exuded a pure, noble, and inviolable sacred aura.

Her aura was vast and profound, having reached the true god-level! It even brought a faint sense of threat to Xuanming.

This means that she has successfully received the complete inheritance of the Angel God and become the new Angel God!

However, contrary to her sacred and dignified aura, her eyes were still somewhat red and swollen, her face still bore traces of tears, and her eyes were filled with sadness, confusion, and an indescribable complex emotion.

Xuanming sat up and stretched his stiff neck. He glanced at the wound on his chest, which had healed to a shallow scar, and then at Qian Renxue, who looked like she had just finished crying. He understood immediately.

That old bastard Qian Daoliu... has finally passed away.

He used the last of his life to pave the way for his granddaughter to become a god.

Xuanming remained silent, simply watching Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue sensed his awakening, raised her head, and met his gaze. Their eyes met, and an indescribable silence filled the space between them.

Past hatred, entanglements, and hurts are mixed with the recent life-and-death bond and the revelation of the truth, making everything incredibly complicated.

Qian Renxue opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, all her words turned into silent tears that streamed down her face once more.

Xuanming sighed softly, reached out, and wiped away the tears on her face. The movement wasn't exactly gentle, even a little clumsy, but it carried a rare... comforting quality.

"Why are you crying?" His voice was still hoarse with a hint of weariness. "Haven't you already... become a god?"

Qian Renxue looked at him, her tears flowing even more fiercely, but she nodded forcefully. He had become a god.

However, some things are lost forever.

And some things, while being lost, seem to be... quietly gained in another way.

The entrance to the Angel's Secret Realm.

The space twisted violently, and with a piercing tearing sound, a dark red sword light forcefully cleaved through the barrier of the secret realm!

Bibi Dong, wielding the Asura Demon Sword, was surrounded by an overwhelming aura of slaughter and a trace of eerie Rakshasa evil power as she stepped into the room!
Closely following behind was Gu Yuena, whose aura was equally unfathomable and whose silver-purple eyes held a wary look.

They waited for a long time in Wuhun City but Xuanming did not return. They also sensed an unusually powerful divine energy fluctuation and the aura of Qian Daoliu's sacrifice coming from the direction of the Hall of Worship. Feeling uneasy, they rushed over immediately.

Seeing the frozen offerings outside the hall and the clearly forcibly broken spatial nodes, the two rushed in without hesitation.

However, what they saw before them stunned them instantly, and then they were filled with rage!

In the center of the secret realm, where the divine radiance was most intense, Qian Renxue was radiating a dazzling golden divine light. Her six wings spread out behind her, and her powerful angelic domain was fully unleashed, completely enveloping and suppressing an area.

The one pinned beneath her was Xuan Ming, who had just awakened and was still weak!

Xuanming seemed to want to struggle, but under the full suppression of the Angel Secret Realm's main arena and Qian Renxue's newly advanced god-level power, especially with his own mental energy being greatly depleted and not yet recovered, he was unable to break free for a while and could only lie there helplessly with his brows furrowed.

Qian Renxue looked down at Xuanming with a complex expression. There was sadness and confusion from just learning the truth, relief from the past, and uncertainty about the future, but more than anything, there was an almost obsessive impulse to grasp something.

She straddled Xuanming's waist and abdomen, her hands on his shoulders, golden divine power binding him like chains.

What she wants to do? It goes without saying.

"Qian Renxue! Let him go!" Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with cold light. Without the slightest hesitation, the Asura Demon Sword in her hand erupted with a terrifying killing intent. The dark red sword light was like lightning tearing through the sky, and it fiercely slashed towards the angelic domain that shrouded Xuanming!
"boom--!"

The two opposing divine powers of holiness and slaughter collided violently, producing a deafening roar!

Although Qian Renxue has become a god and the Angelic Domain has been greatly enhanced in the secret realm, Bibi Dong has just completed the eighth trial of the Asura. With the assistance of Gu Yuena, the Asura God Power and Rakshasa God Power in her body have reached a delicate and dangerous balance, and her strength has skyrocketed, making her no less than an ordinary god-level powerhouse!
What's more, she's using the Asura God Power, which is said to be the most powerful attack in the God Realm!

The domineering and incomparable killing intent tore a gap in the seemingly impregnable Angel Domain!
With her domain broken, Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly, and the suppressive force weakened instantly.

Xuanming seized the opportunity, his body radiating cold energy, instantly shaking off Qian Renxue's hand that was pressing on his shoulder, and slid backward, escaping the suppression range.

He stood up, a hint of helplessness and speechlessness in his eyes, and looked at Qian Renxue, who was still somewhat dazed.

This woman... just became a god, is her mind not fully clear yet? Or, after learning the truth, is she too emotional and starting to lose control of her behavior?

In the past, when she was weaker than him, she always liked to try to suppress him in this almost "forceful" way, although she never succeeded.

Now look what's happened, taking advantage of his illness to kill him? No, it's taking advantage of his weakness to try and force myself on him?

The situation suddenly became very delicate. (End of Chapter)
