Douluo Continent: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 97 The High Priest is Replaced

Qian Daoliu stared at Ye Jingqiu for a long time. If someone else had asked him, he would have walked away impatiently.

However, he showed much more patience towards Ye Jingqiu. "He is my own brother. He left the Spirit Hall many years ago. Apart from the older members, no one knows of his existence. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will not leave again."

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly, his eyes flashing. "Was that person also a Title Douluo-level expert?"

Qian Daoliu slowly shook his head.

Ye Jingqiu looked surprised. "How could that be? I clearly felt that he was very strong just now."

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that he, like me, is a level 99 Peerless Douluo."

Ye Jingqiu's eyes widened. "A fourth Peerless Douluo? Aren't titled Douluos supposed to be rare? How come Peerless Douluos are as common as cabbages now?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "Peerless Douluo are rare. The four of us have one thing in common: we are all guardians of the divine positions."

"Four gods?" Ye Jingqiu frowned slightly. "But aren't gods even rarer?"

Qian Daoliu said, "Gods are indeed rare; in fact, there have been very few in the entire history of Douluo Continent. But guardians are not uncommon."

He paused, then sighed and said, "After the gods went to the God Realm, they could no longer interfere in the affairs of Douluo Continent. The guardians of the gods are those who protect the power they left behind and help the successors of the divine positions to receive the power of the gods."

"The guardians of the gods are passed down from generation to generation. Even if we are powerful experts at the level of Peerless Douluo, we are still human beings after all. Human lifespan is limited, and we cannot escape death unless we become gods."

"Whenever the guardian of this divine position dies, the next generation of guardians will appear; this is all a matter of choice by the gods."

Ye Jingqiu nodded thoughtfully. "The sect leader of the Soul-Seizing Sect is the guardian of the Returning Void Bell Emperor, and the high priest of Seagod Island is presumably the guardian of the Sea God. And you, Grand High Priest?"

Qian Daoliu said with a complicated expression, "I am the guardian of the Angel God, that is, the God of Light. You are right, the High Priest is the guardian of the Sea God."

"What about that person from earlier?" Ye Jingqiu asked curiously.

"He is also a guardian of the angels."

Ye Jingqiu asked, puzzled, "Why are there two guardians?"

"Actually, the first guardian chosen by the Angel God was him, but he was unwilling to stay in the Spirit Hall, so he faked his death and actually... he really fooled the god. Later, I took over the position of guardian."

"So that's how it can be done?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "I don't know how he did it, but humans shouldn't be able to deceive the gods. To this day, I still don't know how he did it."

Ye Jingqiu frowned. "Now that he's back, who will be the guardian of the Angel God from now on? The High Priest or someone else?"

Qian Daoliu said with a complicated expression, "This is also what I wanted to tell you. I have been to Seagod Island before, and I know a little about the situation there. I will tell you everything I know."

"My brother will take over the position of Grand Elder from now on. I will leave the Spirit Hall when you set off for the Star Dou Great Forest."

Looking up at the lavishly decorated ancestral hall before him, he was suddenly moved and exclaimed, "I also want to go out and see the world."

At this moment, seeing the longing look in his eyes, Ye Jingqiu felt a pang of discomfort.

She had a strange feeling that everything Qian Daoliu possessed was a shackle, not something he wanted.

But Ye Jingqiu quickly dismissed this inexplicable thought.

That must be her imagination. What troubles could a peerless Douluo-level expert with such outstanding strength have?

She's just a nobody; she wouldn't understand. If she had that kind of power, she'd be laughing all the way to the bank.

Half a month later, Qian Daoliu told her everything he knew about Seagod Island, including everything about the High Priest.

The main hall is the center of the temple, where the successive appointments of the chief officiants took place.

This is a large square, and directly behind it is a statue of an angel.

Qian Daoliu reached out, and then his nine spirit rings appeared in front of everyone: black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red.

He reached out and infused his soul power into the angel statue, activating divine resonance, and announced his resignation from the position of Grand Priest of the Temple.

Suddenly, a golden light burst forth from above the statue of the Heavenly God, and this golden light landed directly on Qian Daoyuan.

The next moment, nine incredible spirit rings appeared on his body: black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red.

Ye Jingqiu stood below in silence for a moment. Sometimes she really felt that the ten-thousand-year soul rings that were difficult for ordinary soul masters to hunt, and the rare hundred-thousand-year soul rings, were like cabbages in the market to these people.

At the same time, two beams of golden light erupted from Qian Daoliu and Qian Daoyuan amidst the golden light emanating from the angel statue.

When the soul power of the two generations of worshippers collided in the center of the altar, a wailing sound erupted in the air, and golden light gradually condensed into the phantoms of the successive high priests.

Qian Daoyuan took the scepter representing power from Qian Daoliu's hand. He chuckled, but deep in his eyes was an infinite lament.

He looked at Qian Daoliu and said in a low voice, "I never thought I would come back to this place one day."

After a moment of silence, Qian Daoliu spoke, "This was the mission you were supposed to complete. No matter what, you couldn't escape it."

Qian Daoyuan closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with endless anticipation. "Little brother, after you leave the Hall of Offerings, do what you love. Don't wrong yourself. Your brother will always be your strongest support."

"Thank you, brother."

The two locked eyes, and in that instant, it was as if the thing that had stood between them for decades had vanished.

Bibi Dong, watching from below, suddenly shook her head. Her gaze fell on Qian Daoyuan, and she said, "I always thought the former Pope and the High Priest were different. It turns out they weren't his biological children."

Ye Jingqiu asked, "If the former Pope is the child of the current High Priest, does that mean that Qian Renxue is also the High Priest's granddaughter?"

Ye Jingqiu wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she inexplicably felt that Bibi Dong's expression stiffened for a moment when Qian Renxue was mentioned.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly. "That's right, that young master is his granddaughter."

Ye Jingqiu suddenly sighed for a moment when he recalled Qian Renxue's attitude towards Qian Daoliu. "I think the young master probably doesn't know that the Grand Elder has been replaced. Overnight, her grandfather is no longer her own grandfather. She must be very sad."
