Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 283: No More Pretending, Let's Lay the Line

Temple of Angels.

An elderly man with white hair had his hair slicked back, each strand meticulously styled.

He was wearing a white robe with gold thread patterns and a six-winged angel martial spirit design.

"Are you here...?"

He muttered something to himself, then got up and walked towards the entrance of the main hall.

Such a person deserves to be personally greeted at the gate.

As the gate opened, Jin'e and Zhongli slowly approached from a distance, their pace seemingly slow, yet each step perfectly timed.

In a short while, the two arrived at the main gate of the Temple of Angels.

Jin E glanced at Qian Daoliu, slightly surprised that this Grand Elder had actually come to the door to greet him personally.

As a fellow "level 99" powerhouse, he didn't need to do this, did he?

Yes, Golden Crocodile Douluo regarded Zhongli as a level 99 peerless Douluo, not a god.

Because of their different perspectives and abilities, his vision differed greatly from Qian Daoliu's.

There were some differences, but nothing was said.

Golden Crocodile cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Qian Daoliu and said, "Great Elder!"

He didn't call him "elder brother" because he was much older than Qian Daoliu.

His statement of offering a large sacrifice already indicated his stance.

Furthermore, there's an "outsider" here, so calling him "Big Brother" or something is ultimately a bit inappropriate.

"Second Master, you may go back now."

Upon hearing this, Jin E was taken aback, but nodded. Qian Daoliu was the boss, so whatever he said went.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"Your Majesty the God of War, I shall take my leave now. This is Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of my Spirit Hall."

Before leaving, Jin E didn't forget to introduce Qian Daoliu to Zhong Li, as it was his duty.

"Hmm, Second Master, please take care."

You're too kind.

Without giving it much thought or asking any further questions, the golden crocodile left.

"Your Majesty, God of War, please!"

After the golden crocodile left, Qian Daoliu respectfully addressed Zhong Li.

And make a gesture of invitation.

If the golden crocodile were here, it would be astonished!

You should know that Qian Daoliu's appearance at this moment was exactly like that of a commoner meeting a nobleman.

That respectful demeanor couldn't be faked!

But he's a level 99 Peerless Douluo!

Within this Temple of Angels, one can even mobilize the power of angels, thus possessing the power of a demigod!

Even if Tang Chen were here, he would only be suppressed by Qian Daoliu, but he actually...

Fortunately, the golden crocodile left quickly, otherwise it would have contributed a lot of "surprise points".

Zhongli gave Qian Daoliu a meaningful look. This old man, who had never been criticized in his life, was a true "Child of Light".

"Great Master, please!"

If someone treats me with respect, I will repay them tenfold.

The two did not waste time at the entrance, but went straight into the main hall.

The main hall was then closed.

Even a powerful figure like Bibi Dong couldn't hear what was happening inside the palace from outside.

Because what Sendou Ryu is about to say is a secret within a secret!

The main hall was much simpler than Zhongli had imagined.

Aside from an angel statue, there was only a futon, which shows Qian Daoliu's piety.

At his level of cultivation, worldly matters are no longer of interest to him.

His request was so simple: he only wished that his descendants could recreate the glory of the angelic god.

He didn't care what happened, even if it meant sacrificing himself!

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Lord Martial God; the Angel Temple is so simple."

Qian Daoliu cupped his hands in greeting to Zhongli, changing his form of address.

He's just dropping the pretense and laying his cards on the table.

I know you are a god!

Hearing this, Zhong Li was slightly surprised, but after glancing at Qian Daoliu, he suddenly understood.

How could he not know how strong a level 99 character is?

How could he not know how powerful a demigod is?

Qian Daoliu clearly understood the difference between mortals and gods!

It's understandable that they would know his identity.

"A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals who dwell there."

"It is not the depth of the water that matters, but the presence of a dragon that makes it sacred."

"This is a humble abode, but my virtue makes it fragrant."

"This place is far from simple; with angel statues and you guarding it, it must be a paradise on earth."

Zhong Li said with a smile.

He had no concept of a level 99 Title Douluo; he must have been a little reckless in his actions back then.

It's understandable that Qian Daoliu discovered his "identity".

He is a god, that much is true.

But he is not the kind of god found on the Douluo Continent.

"Hiss~"

Qian Daoliu gasped. He considered himself a cultured man, but he never expected that Zhongli's words would shock him so much.

That's right. He is also a god who has written masterpieces for all time. How could his talent be compared to that of the thousands of other writers?

A few words from him were enough to benefit him for a lifetime.

"High Priest of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu, greets the Martial God!"

Qian Daoliu knelt on one knee before Zhong Li and spoke with utmost sincerity.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to kneel, but rather that he represented the God of Angels, and kneeling meant he could only kneel before the deity he worshipped.

Kneeling on one knee is considered the highest form of knightly etiquette.

He is a thousand streams.

It can also be called the Holy Knight Commander!

Upon seeing this, Zhongli casually waved his hand, and a stream of earth-yellow energy enveloped Qiandaoliu, helping him to his feet.

"I never expected that you, a complete stranger, would discover my identity. As expected of the Angel Douluo!"

Zhong Li sighed, and decided to accept the title of "god" for the time being.

Even if you try to argue, it's pointless.

It would be easy if his followers didn't know he was God.

Qian Daoliu showed no surprise, and his gaze toward Zhongli was filled with awe.

What was just speculation before has now become reality.

Unexpectedly, he was able to see a real deity in his lifetime!

This is, this is a great honor!

Yes, Qian Daoliu never knew what jealousy was in his entire life.

All he felt at that moment was relief!

He saw the gods that his ancestors had never seen!

A living God, a true God!

At this moment, Qian Daoliu was at a loss for words.

"Lord Martial God, you..."

Before Qian Daoliu could finish speaking, Zhong Li waved his hand and said, "A god is nothing more than a more powerful person."

"You can just call me Zhongli."

That's just something you can fool the locals with.

Is Zhong Li even human?

He was born a demon god...

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu was slightly moved, yet somewhat bewildered.

God is just a more powerful human being?

As expected of the God of War!

She sees things much more clearly than he does, much more clearly.

But to let him address the God of War by his name, isn't that a bit...?

"It's alright, we can just be friends as equals."

As if sensing Qian Daoliu's dilemma, Zhong Li added a sentence.

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu finally nodded. He was a free-spirited person, and if he still didn't understand after Zhongli had explained it to him, then it was his problem.
