Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

The unknown is the most terrifying. To be honest, she felt that killing Tang San in the God Realm would be easier than doing it now.

Because she knew that Tang San was in the God Realm, and might even be locking himself up to recuperate right now.

However, this situation couldn't help but make her feel a little terrified; such a strange place had appeared in her own sea of ​​consciousness.

"Never mind." Qian Renxue relaxed her tightly furrowed brows and then took a firm step upwards.

That's how she is now; when there are no other options, she'll gamble, even with her own life. Unlike Qian Daoliu, who is sometimes conservative.

Qian Renxue's genes come from Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, both of whom are crazy. I don't know why the old man's personality wasn't passed down.

In her previous life, because her parents did not get along, Qian Renxue grew up more around Qian Daoliu and picked up some of her grandfather's habits.

Qian Renxue is now the biggest gambler in the world. Compared to her, the God King's bet is like playing a card game called Solitaire in the Sun and Moon Empire.

Oh, Grandpa, Xiaoxue isn't saying anything bad about you. But Xiaoxue learned a lot of things she hadn't experienced before this time, and realized that sometimes sticking to the old ways is useless, and can even be a huge hindrance.

Sometimes, to make progress, you have to work incredibly hard. But Tang San's journey has been too easy; he hasn't experienced any real crises.

The winding staircase resembled a spiral, and Qian Renxue stared intently at the direction it extended, advancing step by step.

However, this spiral was not an arc, but rather a series of segments. When Qian Renxue reached the seventh segment, the eighth segment of stairs that should have appeared before her vanished.

But she didn't walk to the front of that door, even though it stood right in front of her, as if there was an invisible barrier between them.

"What's going on?" Qian Renxue frowned.

The little angel and the little devil have now merged into one. This spiritual entity, Qian Renxue, possesses the thinking abilities of both. This is her unique ability after completing the fusion of her own martial soul. If she were on the battlefield, she could instantly consider multiple possibilities and make the choice that best suits her and the current situation.

She slowly closed her eyes.

"Ninety percent of human understanding of the outside world comes from our own vision, but because of this, humans are particularly reliant on the sense of sight, thus ignoring information beyond what we see. This is the greatest advantage of spirit-type soul masters, because they are sometimes difficult to deceive by their own eyes."

Qian Renxue stopped in her tracks, her mind racing with deductions and guesses.

She slowly retreated, stepping back to the fifth set of steps, and then began walking those two sets again. Her footsteps became clearer. After a moment's thought, she removed her boots and stood barefoot on the steps. She was currently in a spiritual state, so everything external was actually created through her will.

Gradually, Qian Renxue heard the "patter" sound under her feet, as well as the friction sound brought out with each time she lifted her little feet. Those sounds began to decompose little by little, and she could even reconstruct every detail of the collision between her toes and the steps in her imagination.

"However, even spirit-type soul masters can fall into a misconception. That is, people always believe what they want to believe, and then constantly do things and think of reasons to prove that what they believe is right."

It's like you would think that the stairs would break here and there would be nothing after it.

"But you've been deceived."

At this moment, Qian Renxue was standing at the end of the seventh step. She closed her eyes tightly and unconsciously reached her hands to her waist.

Normally, she would draw the Sacred Sword from her right and the Scythe of the Eternal Spider King from her left, only feeling secure when she could firmly grasp her weapons at any time. After shutting down her vision, her senses became clearer. She slowly raised her right foot and moved forward.

Suddenly! She felt her toes touch something like stone steps!

But she didn't choose to open her eyes, fearing that if she did, the stone steps would disappear and she would fall from the sky. She preferred to believe what she was experiencing rather than rely on her own eyes and common sense.

Finally, her right toe brushed against the stone step, and she continued to lift up, moving onto the top of the step!

"Ha—" With a determined thought, she strode forward!

She felt a dizzying sensation, and she didn't know what was happening, but she felt that she had evolved.

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked in front of her, only to find those jade-like steps reappearing before her. Each step was a phantom gray, a color created by the fusion of black and white.

She steadied herself, turned around, and found that there were still steps behind her. She was standing at a strange intersection, which was where she was now, with two familiar flowers beside her.

"Is this... back to square one?" she asked, her face showing surprise and doubt.

Looking up along the two flowers, she could see a circle of stone steps that eventually led to her feet.

"No, this isn't the starting point; it's a new beginning, connected to where I once was. Although it looks the same as the beginning, it's also different!"

She breathed heavily, as if she had been given a new life. Everything had changed, and everything in her eyes was different from before.

She slowly crouched down and took out a test bottle from her "arms," ​​containing a silver liquid. This was the liquid that the little angel had refined using her own solar fire during her previous seclusion, continuously refining deep-sea silver.

This liquid rare metal is extremely "heavy," and if poured onto a sloping surface, it will continuously flow downwards. At this moment, she reproduced this liquid metal in her spiritual sea and poured it onto the steps here.

As expected, yet something unexpected happened: she discovered that the liquid did indeed flow downwards, but after passing through seven steps, it returned to her feet, forming a closed loop.

These seven steps are connected end to end. It's not a special visual effect, but a genuine interconnection, yet they are at an angle.

Hidden in the Western Hills outside Mingdu lies the Valley of Love and Destiny. According to Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu, there is a maze in that mysterious place; those who enter will wander in circles until they are forced to enter the Valley of Love and Destiny.

However, the situation there is quite different from here, because there it is actually a trap created by using the surrounding terrain and fog that can distort light, making people involuntarily spin around.

She stood up and looked up, finally understanding the purpose of the door; it seemed to be guiding Qian Renxue to discover this secret. The reason it existed was likely because this idea had been buried in Qian Renxue's mind for a long time, but had never been verified.

The door wasn't actually on the steps, but rather located between these seven peculiar sets of steps.

In the end, Qian Renxue proved her idea; she had become a life form completely different from ordinary people in the Douluo Continent.

After understanding this, Qian Renxue's steps became much more relaxed. She found that she seemed to be no longer restricted by the air-restricting effect of the steps, because she had also become a being that was in harmony with this place.

Reaching the door, she placed her hand on it and slowly pressed on a slight protrusion—the door's switch.

"..."

She took a deep breath, then flung the door open! (End of Chapter)
