Douluo: The Dragon King's Descent of the Gods

"have not seen you for a long time."

The wooden door creaked open, and Meng Xinghe stepped across the threshold into the courtyard, looking at the person in front of him with a calm and serene expression.

It was a woman, or more precisely, a dying woman, experiencing a final burst of energy before death.

Her long, golden hair cascaded down to her waist with a smooth, lustrous sheen; her golden eyes were as bright as the sun and as clear as a mirror; her features and face shape were perfectly combined, creating a breathtaking beauty; she was tall, slender, and full-figured with perfect proportions, exuding an elegant and dignified air.

The magnificent palace attire she wore perfectly complemented her appearance, making her look like a young empress who had just ascended the throne, and her status was enough to make people of this era tremble with fear.

She was once the angel goddess, Qian Renxue!

"You...it's you?"

Qian Renxue's golden eyes fell on the boy, and familiar memories flooded her mind. Her vision began to blur, and she was transported back to the past in a daze.

It was an ordinary night, but for Qian Renxue it was anything but.

Because the next day, she was to leave Wuhun City and head to the Heaven Dou Empire to carry out an undercover mission.

This means that she will not be able to show her true face or display her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

Therefore, she bid farewell to herself, flying into the clouds under the cover of night to release her last self, only to encounter a handsome young man like a god high in the sky above the clouds.

However, in the blink of an eye, the boy disappeared, making Qian Renxue think she was seeing things.

At the time, I thought it was just an ordinary meeting, never imagining that I would see it again in this lifetime.

"You are actually a soul beast. No wonder you disappeared instantly when we met by chance back then, and I couldn't find a trace of you no matter how hard I searched."

After burning her Angel Godhood, Qian Renxue was no longer an Angel God, but her fully equipped Soul Rings and Soul Bones still made her a powerful Soul Master.

As a child, she couldn't see through the boy's identity as a spirit beast, but now she can.

In Qian Renxue's perception, the young man's aura was not particularly strong, but she sensed a faint, yet deadly, danger emanating from him.

This sent a shiver of fear through Qian Renxue's heart. If the place where she had encountered him back then had not been above Wuhun City, where no soul beast would have dared to cause trouble, she would probably have met with misfortune.

However, humanoid soul beasts are indeed unheard of.

If Qian Renxue hadn't been able to clearly sense the aura of a soul beast emanating from the boy's body, she would never have believed that he was a soul beast.

Meng Xinghe's expression subtly changed.

Although the trip was for profit, the sights and sounds evoked emotions and ultimately left me with many reflections.

Transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, and even becoming the first in the same era as Tang San, should have been a good thing. However, after transmigrating, he was no longer human, but a soul beast—a humanoid soul beast born without parents.

Unlike other soul beasts that are born in their juvenile form, Meng Xinghe was born in his teenage form. He had just figured out his soul beast identity when he ran into Qian Renxue. Terrified, he used all his innate talent to escape, fearing that if he was even a second late, he would become her soul ring.

After successfully escaping, Meng Xinghe fell into deep thought.

He himself was a soul beast, and soul beasts could not become gods.

Therefore, the only way to become a god is to transform into a human, reach level 100 as a Soul Master, either by creating one's own godhood or by inheriting a godhood.

Tragically, he was just a newly born soul beast. By the time he cultivated to become a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Tang San would have already been a god for countless years.

Reality is cruel, so there's nothing we can do. It's impossible to become a god in this era. The only way is to wait, until the God Realm disappears, until Tang San disappears.

During this period, he must cultivate diligently to become a 100,000-year-old soul beast capable of transforming and rebuilding.

As a humanoid soul beast, Meng Xinghe's background is extraordinary.

He possesses the original bloodline of Uranus, the first king of the gods in ancient Greek mythology.

Uranus, the first king of the gods in ancient Greek mythology, is the personification of the sky and directly controls the entire celestial realm. His existence defines the spatial concept of "sky" and he has absolute dominion over the sky.

For Meng Xinghe, his innate absolute control over the power of the sky, and the pure white Heaton robe he wore, all proved this fact.

With this advantage, all he needs to do is develop stealthily and wait for the right opportunity.

Therefore, over the years, Meng Xinghe has been staying in the high sky to absorb the power of the sky to cultivate. He thought it would take hundreds or thousands of years to gain the strength to protect himself, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.

Qian Renxue inherited the position of the Angel God, causing the power of the sky above Douluo Star to increase explosively.

As the embodiment of the sky, Meng Xinghe's cultivation level also rose rapidly, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. In the short time between Qian Renxue becoming a god and the Burning Angel Godhood, he cultivated into a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, possessing the bloodline of Behemoth, could rival a 100,000-year-old soul beast with its 10,000-year cultivation. I, possessing the original bloodline of Uranus, am even more capable.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast is equivalent to a level 95 Title Douluo, which means that he has the strength to walk in the human world and secretly make plans.

However, he was very cautious and waited until all the original Shrek Seven Devils became gods and ascended to the God Realm before he began to take action.

Today, Qian Renxue's life has come to an end, hence his visit.

Gazing at the breathtakingly beautiful face before him, Meng Xinghe smiled and said:

"Qian Renxue, I have come here today to make a deal with you."

"A trade?" Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, then said with a self-deprecating laugh, "How can I, a dying person, make a trade with a soul beast with such a long and rich lifespan?"

If it were in the past, when it was still the Angel God himself... it would be impossible. How could a god make a deal with a soul beast?

The purpose of soul beasts is to provide human soul masters with soul rings and soul bones.

"I can preserve your soul intact, with the opportunity for reincarnation, and thus we can make a deal."

Meng Xinghe's words were soft, like drifting clouds and mist, yet omnipresent.

These seemingly casual words struck Qian Renxue like a boulder crashing into a calm lake, creating huge ripples and waves.

But outwardly, she remained expressionless and asked suspiciously:

"Preserving one's soul and being reborn—these are things only gods can do. You're just a soul beast; how could you possibly do that? And why should I believe you can?"

To this, Meng Xinghe simply shook his head. "The deal can only be completed if you live. If I cannot do these things, you will die today. Why would I have wasted my time coming to find you?"

"Failure is not shameful; lack of ambition is tragic! For thousands of years, the Spirit Hall has made so many contributions to the Douluo Continent, yet it has become a loser, all its contributions have been erased, and in the end, only stigma and criticism remain. Are you willing to accept that?"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue gradually clenched her fists.

Are you willing to accept this? Of course not!

She failed her grandfather's expectations, and the expectations of everyone who trusted and followed her, becoming a shameful failure.

If... if God gave her another chance, she would never repeat the same mistake!

"Alright!" Qian Renxue suddenly raised her head. "As long as you can preserve my soul and allow me to be reborn, I'm willing to go through any deal!"

"Okay, the deal is done." Meng Xinghe smiled sincerely and extended his hand in a friendly manner.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue did not hesitate and reached out her hand to shake his.

The power of the sky was ignited like gasoline, and the sky-blue flames spread from Meng Xinghe's hand to Qian Renxue's body, with the Angelic Martial Soul then possessing her.

Although the Angel Godhood is no longer present, Qian Renxue's martial soul is still a six-winged angel.

At this moment, she was like an angel ascending to heaven in flames, her body gradually turning into specks of light and dissipating, leaving behind a slightly illusory soul with three pairs of angel wings, and six soul bones radiating pure white light.

Meng Xinghe picked up the storage soul tool that had fallen to the ground, put a set of six soul bones of angelic divine armor into it, and took out the divine artifact Angelic Holy Sword.

"Next, you will slumber within the Angelic Holy Sword as its spirit, awaiting the opportune moment."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Renxue, in her soul form, transformed into a stream of light and merged into the Angelic Holy Sword under the influence of the power of the sky.

After doing all this, Meng Xinghe stared intently at the Angelic Holy Sword in his hand.

A set of angelic divine armor and an angelic holy sword would be an incredible opportunity for a soul master, but for him, it was merely icing on the cake.

The Angelic Armor consists of six soul bones from the same type of soul beast, each with an age of 99,999 years, but he has better options and doesn't need them.

As for the Angelic Holy Sword, it is merely a divine artifact, not a super divine artifact, so he has no use for it.

Even if Meng Xinghe obtains these two items after Qian Renxue's death, he will use them to support others, rather than for his own use.

What suits you is the best.

Both the Angelic Armor and the Angelic Holy Sword are relics inherited from the Angel God. Apart from the first Angel God, no one is more suited to these two items than Qian Renxue.

In that case, it would be better to support Qian Renxue than to support others.

Others who receive this opportunity may only have the chance to become gods, but Qian Renxue, as a former angel god, can almost certainly regain her divine status as long as she has enough faith.

Most importantly, Tang San is a common enemy of him and Qian Renxue.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Meng Xinghe and Qian Renxue are naturally allies in the same camp.

Even disregarding these reasons, he would still choose to complete this deal with Qian Renxue to repay her kindness.

After all, the reason he was able to possess the cultivation of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast at this moment was due to the explosive increase in the power of the Douluo Star sky brought about by Qian Renxue's ascension to godhood.

Meng Xinghe didn't consider himself a great philanthropist who repays evil with kindness, but he wasn't an irredeemable villain either.

Repay kindness with kindness, and repay injustice with justice.

Although he transmigrated into a soul beast, he has not abandoned the most basic principles of being a human.

Becoming a soul beast was not his intention, but staying true to himself was his choice.
