Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 757 The Untold Story of the Sea God and the God of Love

Shen Yuanyi hesitated for a moment, then said, "This should be the place. The secret scriptures of the Holy Spirit Cult mention this place, saying that a legendary god of love was betrayed by his lover, and in his grief, he fell to earth and formed this place. Heaven and earth were turned upside down, and the sun and moon became lakes."

At this very moment, nestled among the mountains, lies a lake before them.

Qian Renxue silently established a spiritual connection. In her shared spiritual connection, the lake water changed; it was no longer transparent, but rather a mixture of gold and silver.

It's somewhat like a magnified version of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, only the colors have changed.

The reason it appears as a clear, ordinary lake to the outside world is because it is not yet open to the public. However, in Qian Renxue's eyes now, even this secret realm forcibly descended from the divine realm cannot escape her detection.

"Aphrodite Pandemos..." Qian Renxue's eyes seemed to be recalling something.

"Miss, do you know this goddess of love? Or... did your ancestors know her?"

"..."

Qian Renxue paused for a moment, then uttered a seemingly random comment: "Serves him right."

"..."

The other three looked at Qian Renxue speechlessly, probably because she was the only one who would dare to make such a comment about a deity.

"One of the gods in the divine realm is the god of emotions from whom we obtained the seed of godhood." Qian Renxue turned her head and said, "The former owner of this godhood once said that all emotions in the world will lead to destruction, only love represents life."

The other three suddenly realized.

"You mean... love can also lead to destruction?" Hyotei asked with interest.

"I didn't just say that offhand, Hyotei-nee. Look at this thing, this place, isn't this proof? Even Cupid died here, yet he could still say that only love can lead to life and the future... His understanding of ex-partner emotions is just so-so, he'll be replaced sooner or later." Qian Renxue shook her head.

"Oh, I thought you knew something about this Cupid's past." Hyotei shrugged.

"There are indeed some memories from my bloodline, but I'm not sure if they're true or not, so I won't say more." Qian Renxue pointed to the lake in front of her. "But I can tell you why this Qiankun Wenqing Valley, which is related to the god of love, is hidden beneath the surface of the water—"

"Because the name of the god of love, translated into human language, means appearing in the sea foam. The sea god and the water god are of the same lineage, and the sea god is even of a higher level than the water god among the first-level gods." Qian Renxue said expressionlessly.

One of the things she mentioned, whose veracity was uncertain, was that this goddess of love had an affair with Poseidon, the god of the sea, and supposedly even had a child with him.

Could it be that this goddess of love felt betrayed because Poseidon gave his divine position to Tang San and ran away, causing him to die of anger and fall to this place?

"So, Yuan Yi, do you now understand why Zhongli Wu's grandfather was controlled by the Sea God Tang San, and why some high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult used the Exploding Rings technique, a secret technique from the Clear Sky Sect?"

Although Ye Xishui had speculated that the Holy Spirit Cult was actually backed by the Sea God Tang San, there was never any concrete evidence.

It wasn't until the great battle outside Shrek City, when Tang San used a curse to control Zhongli Wu, even causing his Bone Dragon King beast soul to escape his control, that he truly grasped the inside story. Now, with Qian Renxue's explanation, everything seems to have more clues. This place may indeed have been formed by the fall of the God of Love, but the actual controller is most likely the Sea God Tang San, who is using this place to slowly and personally infiltrate the Sun Moon Empire.

If Qian Renxue hadn't appeared, it would be questionable whether the Sun Moon Empire could have defeated Shrek Academy.

After all, this place is just outside Mingdu!

At this moment, Shen Yuanyi suddenly said, "Miss, do you remember the poisonous scripture of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu that we obtained in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye? It contains a record about this Qiankun Wenqing Valley, but it only has a few words, saying something about true love taking risks and true love being invincible."

"...I remember he must have planned to do something with this place a long time ago, but he just didn't have the chance," Qian Renxue said in a low voice.

"What do we do now? We're already here," Xue Di asked.

"Of course we have to go in." Qian Renxue smiled mysteriously. "Actually, I've had my eye on this place for a long time, but I haven't been prepared. Now that I've reached the God level, in this buffer zone between the human world and the divine realm, my strength won't be suppressed."

"So, are you planning to open this place? I remember His Majesty said that to open it, two sacrifices are needed—the blood of a couple who have betrayed their love." Shen Yuanyi frowned. "Should we go to that city we just passed through and capture the couple we saw having an affair?"

In the city they had just passed through, they discovered that the woman who was the president of a chamber of commerce was having a secret rendezvous with the male protagonist of a rival chamber of commerce.

"No need." Qian Renxue shook her head. "I should be able to... tear this open directly."

That strong?

The two emperors of ice and snow raised their eyebrows simultaneously, their movements perfectly synchronized.

Qian Renxue closed her eyes, stretched out her hands, which transformed into sharp claws, and then six pairs of wings unfolded. Among them, the pair of wings with spatial attributes glowed faintly, as if sensing something.

About half a minute later, she plunged her claws into the void, frowned, and had the other three grab her wings.

After grabbing the wings, Qian Renxue fixed their bodies in place, then with a fierce tearing motion of her claws, she forcefully ripped open the lake water in front of her from a distance, revealing the previously hidden gold and silver colors.

"Aren't you going to open the door?" Qian Renxue frowned.

A golden-red sword descended from the sky, piercing directly into the lake water she had torn apart, forcefully cleaving the lake surface in two.

A strange thing happened, and the Ice and Snow Emperors and Shen Yuanyi understood why Qian Renxue had told them to hold on to her wings. They suddenly felt as if the world had turned upside down. Because they had entered by force, there was nothing protecting them except Qian Renxue's angel wings, which at this moment emitted the ability to reflect divine power, protecting them.

This was merely a buffer zone, not the result of a god wielding full divine power, so Qian Renxue was still able to block it.

After a dizzying spin, they landed together on a platform. Above them, the golden and silver hues of the lake water were reflected, as if the lake's surface had transformed into the sky of this special space.

"There is celestial energy in this space!" Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed.

Just then, a figure in the realm of gods noticed the situation in this space and turned its gaze over.
