Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 490 Everyone in the Spirit Hall "betrayed" the faith of the angels.

"Grandpa, please tell me, please stop treating me like a three-year-old." Qian Renxue saw that her grandfather's expression was uncertain and knew that there must be a problem, so she asked, "This is almost becoming my inner demon. I went through all kinds of hardships to infiltrate Tian Dou, just to gain her approval."

"But if her dislike for me is for other reasons, no matter how much I do, it can only slightly evoke her compassion..."

"During the time I was the Emperor of Heaven Dou, I also grew a lot. In addition, I often chatted with Tang San and learned that a titled Douluo could not die from serious injuries. The power of the Clear Sky Hammer is strong, but the Angelic Martial Soul is not bad either. Moreover, the Spirit Hall has many healing-type Soul Masters."

"so--"

"There's more to my father's death than meets the eye... Was she the one who did it?"

As they talked, Qian Renxue began to analyze the situation, arriving at a conclusion that startled even herself. Then she considered her own identity…

"Stop talking! Stop thinking about it!" Qian Daoliu immediately stopped him, but it was too late. He didn't have the means to erase other people's memories, so he could only close his eyes and nod helplessly. "Your deduction is correct. Your father was indeed killed by her, and in the most cruel way, he was devoured without a trace."

"By the time I found out, it was too late... Originally, I wanted to wait until the moment you finally inherited the divine position before telling you this, so that you wouldn't be unable to accept it."

"I just didn't expect your thinking to be so sharp."

Seeing her grandfather in pain, Qian Renxue felt a mix of emotions.

In the past, she would never have been able to accept it, but after being emperor for a period of time and dealing with too many things, she had witnessed similar ethical dramas among the nobles—now it was just happening to her.

Why Bibi Dong killed her teacher and why she hated her seems to have a clear reason—it was all because of her scumbag father!

Why did Chihiro do that?

Qian Renxue didn't want to investigate, nor did she feel there was any need to.

reason?

Bibi Dong is an orphan, and Qian Xunji, as her teacher, is like a father to her, and is highly trusted. No matter how big a mistake a "daughter" makes, she should not be insulted.

This is the behavior of beasts!

If a master and disciple have mutual affection and love, like Tang San and Guang Ling, it could be a beautiful story. But this is clearly not the case between Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong.

Qian Renxue is now glad that Bibi Dong didn't strangle her when she was still an infant. Is it because Bibi Dong still has some motherly affection for her?

Perhaps Tang San had tried to persuade him...

"Xue'er, now that you know the truth, why don't you come back and focus on your cultivation to accept the divine test?"

Seeing that Qian Renxue didn't react much, Qian Daoliu breathed a sigh of relief, interrupted her thoughts, and said with anticipation, "Only by becoming a god can one dominate this world."

"But what about the previous angel god?" Before coming here, Bibi Dong found her again and warned her not to become a god, because that would mean losing the right to interfere with the entire continent.

Upon hearing this question, Qian Daoliu was stunned.

The previous Angel God, the first Angel God... how did he know where the other went? In fact, he had no communication with the previous Angel God at all. He only knew that this place of inheritance would give them, the Angel lineage, a divine test, and that as long as he, the High Priest of the Angel lineage, allowed it, others could also obtain the divine test and become loyal followers of the Angel God.

"Did Bibi Dong tell you something?" Qian Daoliu realized that Bibi Dong must have told Qian Renxue some divine secrets. Perhaps the deity that Bibi Dong inherited told her something.

"Gods cannot interfere with the human world, including faith. If this expands, the divine realm will intervene and enforce the law. In severe cases, they will take measures to kill gods who excessively absorb faith..." Qian Renxue recounted what Bibi Dong had told her. "Grandpa, you once told me about Seagod Island in the form of a story. It was a paradise for Seagod believers, where they lived and worked in peace and provided faith to the Seagod... The power of faith is extremely strong. Why doesn't the Spirit Hall expand the faith in the Angel God and make everyone in the world believe in the Angel?"

"Our ancestors left us a precept: one must not spread the faith in angels widely unless one becomes a god..." Qian Daoliu said, then realized what he meant and his expression became extremely solemn.

If becoming a god means being unable to interfere extensively in human affairs, then Xue'er would not be able to seize Bibi Dong's position as pope, nor would she be able to personally lead the empire to unify the continent and spread the glory of angels.

But why is the sea god able to do that?

That Poseidon Island...

Yup!

Poseidon Island!

The belief in the sea god exists only on one island. On the mainland, it is only among fishermen and sea spirit masters in coastal cities. Others are completely unaware of the sea god's existence!

Qian Daoliu felt that the warnings left by his ancestors could be fully explained by the "theory of divine punishment"—the first Angel God established the Spirit Hall on the continent and absorbed faith, which attracted the attention of the divine realm. The enforcers came down to punish him and killed the first Angel God, so that the descendants of the Angels erased that history.

"Is that so?" After learning about this ancestral precept, Qian Renxue believed Bibi Dong's admonition to a great extent, and a warmth arose in her heart—at least, Bibi Dong still cared about her daughter.

"Xue'er, these are all speculations, not true. Improving your strength is ultimately a good thing." Qian Daoliu brought his thoughts back to the present and said very seriously.

"We'll talk about taking the divine test later. If my mother doesn't become a god, neither will I," Qian Renxue decided. "Also, I want to rely on my own efforts to cultivate to level ninety-nine and catch up with Tang San."

"Tang San?" Qian Daoliu was stunned, then suddenly realized what he meant and hurriedly asked, "He's reached the peerless realm? How is that possible? How old is he?"

That young lad, despite his incredible fighting prowess, is only nineteen years old this year, or twenty if we count by the traditional Chinese age reckoning.

Now tell him that Tang San has reached the peak of a Soul Master?

Is it really that easy to break through to a higher realm?

"But that's the truth. I've seen him before. He's already reached level 99, and his spirit ring configuration is terrifying—eight gold and one chaotic." At this point, Qian Renxue paused for a moment and said, "Grandpa, perhaps this is also her way of conveying a message to you through me, and also a show of force: she is no longer afraid of you."

Qian Daoliu remained silent for a long while before asking, "Is there anything else I don't know?"

"Grandpa, you know that Wuhun City is full of Tang San's martial spirits, right?"

"I know, it can increase the concentration of heaven and earth energy in the entire Spirit City. What's wrong? Does it have some other effect?"

"Within Tang San's martial soul lies a starry world, similar to a dream. Using the roots of the Blue Silver Emperor, he established the Blue Silver Network, allowing Spirit Hall personnel to transmit sound and images across vast distances. Furthermore, it can capture other dimensions; currently, it has captured a spirit beast illusion space. Defeating the spirit beasts within can increase the age of one's spirit rings, and there's even a chance to obtain a spirit bone." Through Qian Daoliu's astonished gaze, Qian Renxue confirmed that her grandfather truly knew nothing of these matters, and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that apart from Grandpa and a few other elders, everyone else has already been subdued by her."

Qian Daoliu's face was terrifyingly gloomy—

He was shocked to discover that his subordinates had all silently betrayed him and defected to Bibi Dong...

What's even more astonishing is that Tang San actually accomplished this using his martial soul...

But what Qian Daoliu found most unbelievable was that he and his group were completely isolated and helpless within the Spirit Hall! Bibi Dong and Tang San's group had undermined the faith of their Angel lineage!

The only remaining connection is with Qian Renxue.
