Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

"They killed everyone here just to cover up this secret."

Qian Renxue said in a low voice, and then revealed the mural behind the blood.

Under Qian Renxue's manipulation, a scene resembling an ancient pilgrimage appeared, with humans and spirit beasts positioned on the left and right sides respectively, forming a seemingly endless procession. Among the humans, some held torches aloft while others carried scepters; the spirit beast side, on the other hand, was relatively chaotic, with their heads raised as if roaring.

However, whether human or beast, they were all looking towards a huge cliff in the middle of the mural. On the cliff was an extremely beautiful woman who seemed to be performing a ritual.

If Qian Renxue were to describe this woman, she would probably be someone like the half-sister or half-brother of her third grandfather, Qingluan Douluo.

Moreover, she had a strange feeling. That was, this woman was very likely like the Snow Empress, having been reborn as a human from a soul beast, which was why she could have followers who were both human and soul beasts.

The group stared at the mural that Qian Renxue had separated through her X-ray vision, remaining silent for a long time.

The subject of this mural is self-evident; it is likely some kind of belief on this continent, even though the continent may not be considered particularly developed.

The arrival of Dai Mubai and the Sea God Douluo disrupted this situation. They came to seize the believers, but these people likely defied their "divine power" and were thus slaughtered.

"At least three hundred people have died here. The Sea God and the War God are truly ruthless when they slaughter." Ye Xishui said expressionlessly.

"The Jingwei Divine Bird," Qian Renxue said softly. "Did you see the label on this picture? It's an ancient script. I've seen this script in ancient books from the Spirit Hall, and even in ancient texts from much earlier times."

"According to the brief history of the Spirit Hall I gave you, the predecessor of the Spirit Hall was the Church, and before that, it might have just been an alliance organization formed by the Angel Family and powerful human Soul Masters. But that was all on the Douluo Continent. Could it be that a long, long time ago, these continents were pieced together?" Ye Xishui asked, frowning.

"Perhaps. The ancient books that the Spirit Hall once possessed are gone. Even after conquering Shrek City, I couldn't find anything related to them anywhere. Perhaps they were burned. The Sea God, the ruler, never intended for anything from the previous dynasty to remain." Qian Renxue shook her head. "I'm only trying to recall these things now, relying on distant memories."

"What is that Jingwei bird doing? What is that circle in front of her?" Ning Shu asked curiously. "Can you understand it?"

"She's probably doing the same thing as my ancestor, refining divine artifacts," Qian Renxue said. "If my guess is correct, this Jingwei bird was a soul beast that was reborn as a human, so she must know about some special, even divine, metals, and this thing that looks like a jade pendant is what she refined."

"You can glean so much from a single mural, and even deduce historical events from it," Shen Yuanyi exclaimed in amazement. "To me, this thing just looks like a group of fanatical believers worshipping a god."

"It's not enough to just look at the visuals." Qian Renxue frowned. "It's more the assistance of the spacetime and reincarnation powers I currently control that allows me to begin making deductions."

"Furthermore, the obscure meanings of these ancient characters, though seemingly simple words, all express praise for this goddess. Her birth is called her descent into the world, and her existence is like that of the former angelic god who taught humanity how to survive, and even to some extent eased the conflict between humans and beasts. The meaning of her title, her name, seems to be..."

Qian Renxue's face looked a little strange again.

"Reclaiming land from the sea".

"It seems that she was hunted down by something in the sea when she was in beast form, and was eventually forced to return to human form. The annotation says that she drowned at sea or something like that."

"It seems like they've found teammates again?" Qian Renxue looked at the corpses on the ground with some pity. "Never mind, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Whether this story is true or false, it is a fact that Sea God Douluo and his group slaughtered Jingwei's followers."

The angelic order now has followers, and many at that.

Qian Renxue felt a little fortunate; thankfully, she now possessed enough strength to protect the believers on the continent.

"I can already sense the presence of Sea God Douluo and the others; they're not far from us. After all, they're still leading a bunch of burdens. Let's take advantage of this time to purify these souls."

She sighed and used the necromancy she had learned from Electrox to purify the souls still floating there.

"I will avenge you all, even though we have different beliefs," Qian Renxue murmured.

Because she could roughly guess some of the past history, when the Spirit Hall was destroyed ten thousand years ago, those believers in the Angel God... their fate might not have been much better than the current situation.

Aside from some people who are hiding, such as the Star Crown Sect where Xu Jiujiu is located, and the Holy Dragon Sect of the Holy Dragon Douluo.

Therefore, she was extremely cold-blooded in dealing with the believers of the Sea God this time. Those Sea Soul Masters hidden on the continent are still mining rare metals in the far north, without exception.

After Shrek Academy was taken over, all students and families were placed under surveillance. Within a year, more than a dozen families that attempted to rebel were apprehended and have been secretly dealt with by the Shadow Palace.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes." Qian Renxue lit a golden-red flame, "The departed lives will finally rest in peace. Let us hold a grand cremation for you all."

……

About a hundred miles away from where they were, Dai Mubai and the others had already reached the valley between the two mountain peaks.

"Whose legacy is this?" Sea God Douluo sensed.

"It belongs to the Nine-Colored Goddess," Dai Mubai said in a low voice. "When they descended to the mortal realm, Oscar and Ning Rongrong specially added a bonus to their respective divine trials to help their martial souls evolve. They were worried that if they didn't get the Qiluo Tulip this time, they wouldn't be able to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"But we don't have Ning Rongrong now, so we can't start the Nine-Colored Goddess's divine test." Sea God Douluo frowned. "Why don't we just go to the place where you and your husband are taking your divine test?"

"This is the closest place to the divine transmission site of the Nine-Colored Goddess, and the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth energy) is even denser. Moreover, because of her divine position, I sense that there seems to be some energy here that is similar to her abilities, which can help us recover from our injuries quickly," Dai Mubai said.

"Alright, let's rest here for a while." Poseidon Douluo nodded. "I'm very curious about the scene depicted in that mural. That ring-like thing is likely something that is no less powerful than a top-tier weapon spirit, and might even be at the level of a pseudo-divine artifact."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

However, at that moment, four streaks of light, as swift as startled birds, shot out from the outer edge of the mountain valley, tearing through the air and arriving before Dai Mubai and the others in an instant, brutally piercing through them. (End of Chapter)
