In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 53. The Goddess Rakshasa and the Angels of Light and Darkness

Nine months later.

With the Soul Master Competition approaching, caravans from the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent should have been flocking to Star Luo City to witness this grand spectacle and earn a large amount of gold soul coins. Logically speaking, no caravan should have been able to refuse this opportunity to make a fortune.

This year, Star Luo City was unusually deserted. Although the Sea God Pavilion and the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent tried their best to cover up the situation at the border, the results of the Soul Master Competition could not be faked. The Shrek team in the youth and junior groups of the previous Soul Master Competition not only lost, but suffered a crushing defeat. Dai Yueheng was beaten so badly by Ma Rulong that he was howling. The White Tiger Duke almost lost all face.

As a result, many opportunists, seeing the Sea God Pavilion showing signs of decline, chose to enrich the Sun Moon Empire. Some "conscientious" merchants began to sell their assets, exchanging them for hard currency such as soul bones, pills, and potions, and then took their wives and children to live in seclusion in some remote mountain forest.

Left with no other option, the Xingluo royal family had to intervene personally, disguising the royal caravan as ordinary caravans and scattering them throughout Xingluo City to create a false sense of peace.

Early in the morning, a cab slowly drove up. Guided by the staff of the Star Luo Empire, Qin Yi and his group got off at the main gate of the West City. With the golden signboard of the Body Sect, the group was exempt from queuing and entered Star Luo City directly.

Qin Yi didn't bring many people with him on this trip to Xingluo City. Besides Qin Xue, Qin Mengmeng, Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong'er, Ning Tian, ​​Qian Suli, Xiao Xiao, Xu Bin, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo, he only brought Du Busi, a human nuclear bomb, as a deterrent. Zhang Lexuan, as the leader of the Body Sect team, is a Soul Douluo-level healing-type Soul Master in case of emergency.

With three days to go before the official start of the Soul Master Competition, many teams have arrived in Star Luo City early, hoping to adapt to the environment as soon as possible in order to achieve a good ranking on the field.

Sure enough, even though Qin Yi and his group arrived early enough, there was still a team registering at the registration point for the junior group team competition of the Soul Master Tournament.

The receptionist gave the group of handsome men and beautiful women a professional smile. "Excuse me, what's your team name? Do you have an invitation to the Soul Master Tournament?"

Before she could finish speaking, a purple-haired girl stepped out from the crowd, looked at the receptionist, and said seriously, "The Spirit Hall team does not have an invitation."

Wu, the Spirit Hall team?

Upon hearing this, Qian Suli's ears perked up instantly, and her pretty face was filled with disbelief.

The receptionist was also startled. She took a deep breath, looked at the purple-haired girl, and said with a serious expression, "Are you... really going to participate in this Soul Master Competition under the name of the Spirit Hall team?"

The purple-haired girl nodded.

After receiving confirmation, the receptionist took out a form from the drawer, wrote "Spirit Hall Team" in large characters in the title, and then handed the form to the purple-haired girl.

Behind them, the entire Body Sect team, led by Qian Suli, stood on tiptoe, staring intently at the form on the counter.

The purple-haired girl made no attempt to hide anything and openly wrote down the personal information of all the members of the Spirit Hall team.

Spirit Hall Team

Captain Qian Xunhuan, Martial Soul: Rakshasa Goddess.

Team member Qian Chongxin, Martial Soul: Light and Dark Angel.

Team member Hu Xi, Martial Soul: Moon Blade.

Team member Leng Chen, Martial Soul: Golden Crocodile King.

Team member Hu Huan, Martial Soul: Flame Lord.

Team member Yang Xing, Martial Soul: Soul-Breaking Spear.

Team member Ye Xian, Martial Soul: Undying Begonia Heart.

Rakshasa Goddess and the Angels of Light and Darkness?

Upon seeing this scene, Qian Suli's expression froze instantly. Her little head slowly drooped down, her thoughts drifting away, and she was completely dazed. She didn't even know when the team had finished registering, and let Qin Yi take her little hand to the Starlight Hotel.

"Li'er, are you alright?"

In a luxurious room on the top floor of the Starlight Hotel, Qin Yi held Qian Suli in his arms and kissed her on the cheek.

"Yi, Brother Yi, I...I want to meet Qian Xunhuan." Qian Suli's head drooped again, a look of fear appearing in her eyes.

Qin Yi said irritably, "Li'er, what can you do even if you see them? What do you want to say? What can you even say?"

"I... I can recruit them to join the Angel Family and work together to bring the Spirit Hall back to life," Qian Suli said, clenching her fists, somewhat unconvinced.

Qin Yi sneered, "Li'er, you're wrong. Anyone can suppress evil soul masters and establish a force similar to the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall doesn't represent an era, but an order."

"Your obsession with rebuilding the Spirit Hall stems from a desire to restore the Angel Clan's transcendent status, or... is it that you yourself aspire to godhood?"

"Li'er, you are too selfish and will never reach the height of the first Angel God. But... don't be discouraged. Our whole family is too selfish and none of us can reach the height of the first Angel God. So let's not laugh at each other."

Qian Suli: "..."

You are good at comforting people.

Qin Yi's words made Qian Suli realize many things. Her desire to become the restorer of the dynasty and lead the Angel Family and the Spirit Hall back to their most prosperous period was nothing more than wanting to reach that level, be remembered by history, and satisfy her own selfish desires.

From that moment on, her ideals diverged from those of the first Angel God, making it impossible for her to reclaim the Angel Godhood, become the restorer of the Spirit Hall, and be remembered by history.

Qin Yi is right. The Angel God is a symbol, a symbol of order. The authority of the Angel God does not belong to any one person or even any family. Everyone can become an Angel God.

Thinking of this, the gloom on Qian Suli's face vanished, and she slumped into Qin Yi's arms, letting out a deep sigh of relief.

"Brother Yi, should I step down and relinquish my position as the head of the Angel Family?" Qian Suli asked thoughtfully.

Qin Yi chuckled and said, "Li'er, you're wrong again. Dragons have nine sons, each different. The orphans of the Spirit Hall are not all the same. Look... the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Dragon Gate. They clearly share the same ancestor, yet they act independently. You and Qian Xunhuan are the same. People should live their own lives and not blindly imitate others or their ancestors."

"Forget about that, let's do something fun instead." Qian Suli returned to her usual self, pushing Qin Yi several times with her small hands, but she couldn't move him at all.

"Brother Yi, could you cooperate with me a little? I want... Hmph, if I could control the intensity, I could definitely last for one... no, two hours!"

As she spoke, Qian Suli shoved Qin Yi again, and Qin Yi cooperated by falling backward. Qian Suli then mounted her horse and began a new journey.
