Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 546 Don't let your ambitions fall short of your own potential and let yourself down.

If Tang San hadn't appeared in this battle.

So, Qian Renxue's order at this point would probably be: "Surrender on the spot, and those who resist will be killed without mercy."

However, because she had been berserk for a while, she was indeed, as Di Tian had said, somewhat bloodthirsty, and reasoning with someone who is bloodthirsty is futile.

Fortunately, Qian Renxue still retained a sliver of reason and gave the order: "None of the Shrek Seven Devils should be spared."

As for how her subordinates understood the meaning behind her orders, it didn't really matter to her now.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Electrolux was doing his best to help her stabilize her emotions, but it was a bit difficult for him, because he seemed unable to reason with two god-level consciousnesses on his own.

"Sigh, little angel, little devil. It's best not to cause too much bloodshed." Electrox sighed.

"Sin doesn't disappear with death, especially now that the culprit is right before our eyes." The little angel took a deep breath. "Before the war, during the war, and after the war are three different phases, and the orders given will be different. But what remains the same is the past, the consequences, and the impact of evil."

"The first generation of Shrek people either went to the realm of gods or have now died of old age. But the Shrek they left behind still exists, and the distorted order they left behind also exists, so the idea that death means the end of the story doesn't work with me."

"Not to mention that Tang San's followers just tried to attack me. If I don't kill them now, they'll have to kill me and the people from the Spirit Hall once they catch their breath."

The little angel seemed very calm when she said this; she was speaking up for the little devil. Or perhaps, this was a decision they both made together.

"You feel remorse for what you've done because you've been through that phase. It's a bit impolite, but I find it hard to imagine someone who has successfully taken revenge advising someone on the path of revenge against doing the same. In other words, if this mindset of yours hadn't met me, but instead entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, it would have killed you."

As Qian Renxue spoke, she saw that the Shrek people had already begun to be surrounded and killed on the battlefield, while she dragged the mangled corpse alone, and no one dared to stop her during this process.

"Qian Renxue, you have successfully rebuilt the Spirit Hall and also secured better and more opportunities for many ordinary people. You are one of the few people in this world who can truly uphold justice and light, and at the same time, you are the one who controls darkness and evil." Here, Electrox changed his form of address, no longer referring to her as "little angel" alone.

"I said something similar to you when we first met. Actually, sometimes I wonder if I represent the light, but the truth is, not entirely. Because Qian Renxue is not just an angel, she is also a Soul Refiner." The little angel stared into Ilex's eyes, "Perhaps different from the continent you originally came from, the Douluo plane has now become a desolate forest, and in such a place, there are questions that justice cannot answer."

"I can tell you very clearly, if I hadn't appeared, the continent would have been completely destroyed once this era ended, because the God of Destruction would most likely be no match for Tang San. And the fact that the Golden Dragon Spear, the supreme artifact representing soul beasts, appeared on Tang San's daughter means he's definitely going to target the soul beast race." Qian Renxue looked at Qiu'er, who was currently wielding the Golden Dragon Spear, looking as imposing as a general. "When the soul beast race is also under his control, and each generation's chosen one of the plane is either seduced by his daughter or granddaughter, or his descendants are directly chosen, who can possibly stand against him?"

"..." Electrox paused for a moment, "For you, which is your ultimate destination: revenge or rebuilding the planes, or even the order of the divine realm?"

"Both. Revenge is what I, Qian Renxue, must do to avenge my family and friends; and rebuilding order..." The little angel recalled the illusory yet powerful arms of the first angel's phantom, which lifted her up and chanted the testimony in her ear, "That was the wish and entrustment of our ancestors."

"Everything I've done is for these two ultimate goals. If I fail to defeat Tang San today, I'll probably use the one-time Eternal Tower you gave me to escape and try again, but that would be very difficult; if I fail today, I won't feel any physical or mental anguish, just a little regret, regretting why I couldn't directly reach the God level within three years." The little angel made a joke at the end.

If Qian Renxue were to choose the time of her rebirth, the best starting point would undoubtedly be right after her birth, allowing her to conveniently destroy the Heaven Dou Empire and obtain the Heart of the Sea God. However, this is practically impossible to achieve unless one possesses something called a "cheat code" in some of the Soul Guidance games of the Sun Moon Empire, because history is essentially unrepeatable.

Secondly, it's now; anything beyond that would be incredibly difficult. She's learned from Tang Hao, who has become a Slave of Repentance, that his goal is the will of the plane, to find it and replace it. Ah Yin's aim is to become the new life core, placing the life source of the entire continent in Shrek City to nourish it. She's been reborn for just over two years now, rising from level 28 when she first arrived to level 73. This speed is unprecedented; it's unknown if anyone will ever surpass it.

"This should be the last bit of humanity I have left," the little angel said softly. "I can sense that once I truly reach godhood, I will likely lose almost all my emotions."

Why do you say that?

"..." The little angel smiled, without much explanation. She walked towards Shen Yuanyi, who had come to greet her, and placed her hand in hers. "As a person, you can't possess much in a lifetime. I lost everything in that war—my family, my comrades. You know how many times I've gritted my teeth in the dead of night over the years, only to continue working the next day as if nothing had happened when the sun rose."

"The only time I showed a bit of vulnerability was when I killed all seven of the Sea God's Sacred Pillars, because I felt that I had accomplished a small goal and then gave myself a chance to indulge myself a little. I went to the mountaintop and pondered for a long time in the direction that Spirit City used to be."

"So I still remember those painful memories. The people who can soothe the pain in my heart are my friends and family, such as my teachers, my team, and the elders of my Spirit Hall. They are all my support. But support alone is not enough. I also need my own way, which is to seek revenge."

She looked contemptuously at Huo Yuhao, who was struggling and roaring in anger because Tang Wutong was entangled by the Demon King's branches on the battlefield.

"Many people forget their original intentions because they have gone too far, and then easily say foolish things like 'never mind' or 'forgive.' That's because they don't understand hatred."

"But Elder Yi, I believe you understand." The voices of the little angel and the little devil appeared simultaneously in the sea of ​​consciousness. "So, don't stop us. I won't let any of those who deserve to die go, just like those high-ranking members of the Haotian Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Electrolux stared into the eyes of the two girls, who refused to back down.

He realized that he had underestimated Qian Renxue's determination. In the past, when he saw Qian Renxue's plans and even her ruthless pursuit of Hai Douluo, he only thought that she would definitely become a true empress. But now he realized how terrifying Qian Renxue was.

She was not merely an empress; she was a nightmare, a nightmare that would forever haunt the hearts of her enemies. Until all her enemies were personally executed by her, she would not even grant them the chance of reincarnation.

Moreover, her statement actually revealed her thoughts, perhaps intentionally, or perhaps unintentionally.

She claimed to be self-serving, yet she still cared about this world, the mountains and rivers of humanity, and the fate of the nation. The so-called ancestral entrustment was merely Qian Renxue's illusion; that phantom had never actually spoken, it was Qian Renxue's own thought.

Qian Renxue seemed to have guessed Ilex's thoughts. She smiled and said, "That's right. My ultimate goal is the escaped Asura and Sea God. If finding them requires me to become a God-King, then I will become a God-King; if killing them requires me to become a god who controls reincarnation, then I will strive in that direction. I will not give them any chance of survival."

"Am I considered one of your two relatives or friends?" Old Yi suddenly asked.

"?" Both Qian Renxues showed puzzled expressions at the same time.

Just then, Shrek City in the distance was suddenly engulfed in flames that shot into the sky.
