Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 59 The Contradictory Divine Test

"grandfather."

Standing at the entrance of the offering hall, Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu, who was gazing at her with a kind expression inside, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Qian Xunji died young, and Bibi Dong never showed her any care. Qian Daoliu was the only elder who could make Qian Renxue feel loved and cared for.

"Xiaoxue, come in quickly."

Beneath Qian Daoliu's calm exterior, he was also extremely excited.

Qian Renxue left Wuhun City at a young age, and Qian Daoliu, as the guardian of the Angel God, could not leave easily.

It had been a long time since the two had last seen each other.

"Grandpa, have your injuries healed yet?"

Qian Daoliu smiled and spread his hands, saying, "I wasn't seriously injured. I just had a cut on my hand, and it's already healed."

Although Qian Daoliu's injuries were not fatal, they were definitely not as minor as he claimed.

He and Qian Renxue actually shared the same idea: to only report good news and not bad.

"Xiaoxue, you said your martial spirit is having problems. Come and let Grandpa take a look."

The most important thing for Qian Renxue to do upon returning to Wuhun City this time was to explain the changes in her martial spirit to Qian Daoliu.

She had absolute trust in Qian Daoliu, and since the issue of martial souls concerned the inheritance of the Angel God, she didn't want any accidents to happen.

"Grandpa, don't be surprised after you see this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Renxue's six-winged angel martial soul was revealed.

"Your martial spirit..."

Although Qian Renxue had told Qian Daoliu not to be surprised beforehand, he was still extremely shocked after seeing the changes in Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

Two of Qian Renxue's Angelic Martial Soul's three pairs of wings turned completely black, leaving only one pair of wings that remained white.

"Xiaoxue, what happened to you? Has your martial soul mutated?"

Most spirit mutations are predetermined at birth, but in rare cases, they occur during the spirit master's growth.

Angelic Martial Souls have always been a symbol of light, and Qian Daoliu found it hard to imagine why they would mutate towards darkness.

Qian Renxue didn't mention Ning Qiuyang's matter, but instead said:
"Grandpa, don't worry. My martial soul mutation doesn't harm me. On the contrary, it has improved my strength."

Qian Daoliu's biggest concern was not how fast Qian Renxue's strength was improving, but whether she could still take the Angel God Exam and become an Angel God.

The Angel God's Trial involves many tests of faith. An angelic martial soul filled with dark energy should not be recognized by the Angel God at all.

“Grandpa, my angel soul bone does not repel dark energy; on the contrary, it tends to merge with it. Perhaps the position of the angel god does not require the inheritor to possess only light energy.”

"This……"

Even Qian Daoliu had never encountered this situation before.

"Place your hand on the angelic sword and see if it rejects you."

The Angelic Holy Sword is a divine artifact passed down from the Angel God, and it can also verify whether the owner of an Angelic Martial Soul is qualified to participate in the Divine Trial.

"it is good."

Qian Renxue stepped forward and grasped the hilt of the Angelic Holy Sword.

Under Qian Daoliu's tense gaze, the moment Qian Renxue's hand touched the Angelic Holy Sword, endless light surged from the Angelic Holy Sword.

But amidst this endless light, a wisp of darkness appeared silently and grew rapidly.

In the end, darkness and light each occupied almost half, achieving a peculiar balance, both opposing each other and merging with one another.

Qian Daoliu was completely baffled by the situation. He noticed that Qian Renxue's expression was sometimes confused and sometimes joyful, and he couldn't tell whether she had gained the recognition of the Angelic Holy Sword.

After a long while, Qian Renxue finally released the Angelic Holy Sword.

The spectacular interplay of light and darkness gradually subsided.

"Xiaoxue, how are you? Can you still take the Angel God Test?"

Qian Renxue frowned and said, "Just now, after I grasped the Angelic Holy Sword, I heard two different voices." "Two different voices?"

Qian Daoliu doubted whether his status as the Angel God Guardian was genuine, as he had so many questions about the Angel Martial Soul and the Angel God Trial.

Qian Renxue continued, "The first voice is the same as the divine test you once mentioned to me, except that there is one more thing: I must remove the dark energy in my body, embrace the light wholeheartedly, and believe in the angel god."

"The second voice encouraged me to walk both the path of light and the path of darkness, and not to repeat the mistakes of the previous angel god."

Qian Daoliu was also undecided for a moment.

Although reason told him that sticking to the previous divine examination content was better, he also felt that the latter's words seemed to contain some deeper meaning.

"Xiaoxue, what is your choice?"

Qian Renxue replied without hesitation, "I will definitely choose the latter. I have already deeply integrated with the dark energy. If it is completely removed, my strength will be greatly reduced."

"Have you made up your mind? If you continue down the path of the angelic trials, it will definitely be much smoother, and Grandpa can also help you."

"Grandpa, I've made up my mind, so please don't try to persuade me anymore."

Qian Renxue was firm in her choice. She didn't tell Qian Daoliu that the voice behind her had actually said something else to her.

"The divine realm will not allow the birth of a new angel god."

Qian Renxue didn't know why the voice said that, but she remembered what Ning Qiuyang had told her before: even becoming a god was not the end.

Furthermore, considering the two completely contradictory voices within the Angelic Sword, she always felt there was a conspiracy at play.

She has more faith in the new path she has discovered than in the established, routine path.

Qian Daoliu stopped trying to persuade Qian Renxue and instead asked:

"Have you come back and seen your mother?"

Qian Renxue's face immediately turned cold.

"No, of course I came to see you, Grandpa, as soon as I got back. I have nothing to say to her."

Qian Daoliu sighed.

"Xiaoxue, she is, after all, your mother."

"Really? Even if I treat her as my mother, she has never treated me as her daughter."

Qian Renxue changed the subject, saying, "Grandpa, I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest first."

"Yes, you haven't been back for so long, you should get some rest."

After Qian Renxue left, Qian Daoliu let out another long sigh.

He had no way to improve the relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. He just felt sorry for Qian Renxue, who had hardly ever enjoyed the love of her parents.

After a day of rest, Yu Xiaogang finally prepared to meet the Pope.

He tidied himself up neatly, but his soul power level was too low to have much of an effect on slowing down aging.

As time goes by, no matter how well he tries to dress, he can't hide the signs of aging.

After Yu Xiaogang set off, Qian Renxue, who had been thinking all night, also prepared to go see Bibi Dong.

"So what if we have another fight? Do you think I'm afraid of her?"

Almost every time she met Bibi Dong, it ended badly, something Qian Renxue had long been prepared for.

What Qian Renxue didn't know was that Bibi Dong was already starting to panic.

When Yu Xiaogang and Qian Renxue arrived in Wuhun City almost one after the other, Bibi Dong closely monitored their actions.

She really didn't want, and was even afraid, for the two of them to meet.

Bibi Dong had already received the news that the two were heading towards the Papal Palace. If nothing unexpected happened, Qian Renxue and Yu Xiaogang would likely meet in the Papal Palace.

"Someone is coming."
