Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 268 Poseidon Rejects Sendoryu

"Boy, I'm going to offer myself as a sacrifice to Xue'er? How come I didn't know?"

Qian Daoliu used his soul to question Ye Liangchen. He was very surprised that the little guy mentioned the matter of sacrifice. He hadn't even done it yet, so how could Ye Liangchen say that he would do it?

"The previous Angel God is dead. Sister Xue wants to inherit the Angel God's legacy on her own, but with her strength, she may not be able to do so. At this time, a strong person is needed to sacrifice themselves. You are the Angel God's servant and Sister Xue's grandfather. In order for Sister Xue to become a god, you are willing to make any sacrifice, including offering yourself."

"The reason I used the Soul Pill to help your soul advance to the Divine Soul level was because I was afraid that you would vanish into nothingness after your sacrifice, and Sister Xue would be heartbroken. But now that Sister Xue has the Soul Pill, she will be strong enough to complete the divine succession on her own, and you shouldn't need to sacrifice yourself."

Ye Liangchen shared his analysis with Qian Daoliu, explaining that if he didn't intervene, the old man would definitely sacrifice himself for his granddaughter.

"You're really something, managing to figure out even this!"

"Indeed! I did intend to sacrifice myself so that Xue'er could become a god. But now, with your help, I can finally live to see Xue'er become a god. Thank you."

Qian Daoliu was very excited. This little guy could not only save his life, but also help his granddaughter become a god with ease. This was wonderful.

No one wants to die. Even someone like Qian Daoliu, who is willing to sacrifice himself for his granddaughter, still hopes to live.

"These are nothing, senior, you don't need to be so polite," Ye Liangchen said nonchalantly.

"You and Xue'er are so close, shouldn't you call me 'Grandpa'?"

"What's the rush? We'll talk about this after Sister Xue'er becomes a goddess."

"Alright! Now you really have to wait until Xue'er becomes a goddess before you can get married, but what about your girlfriends?"

"Only children make choices; I want them all."

"Heh...! You're quite greedy, aren't you!"

"There's nothing I can do. I have the ability. Does Senior not agree to Sister Xue dating me? Then I'll go talk to Sister Xue. If she listens to you, I'll respect her choice."

"If I dared to disagree, Xue'er would probably try to kill me with her sword. I just hope that you won't neglect Xue'er in the future."

"Sister Xue is so gentle and beautiful, how could I possibly neglect her? When I stand at the pinnacle of the world, I will use the stars as my matchmaker and the mountains and rivers as my dowry to marry Sister Xue. Senior, what do you think? Isn't that sincere enough?"

"Hehe...! You've got guts, kid. I support you."

"I want to lead everyone to godhood, fly out of Douluo Star, and travel through the starry sky together, exploring the universe. Life is meaningless without close friends and family. I don't want to be a lonely strongman."

"You've got quite the vision, kid. I'll just wait and see that day come."

Qian Daoliu knew that his granddaughter was throwing herself at Ye Liangchen, and he didn't care that the guy had other girlfriends. Anyway, the kid was capable enough and had a big enough vision; it wouldn't matter if he had a few more wives. The fate of the Spirit Hall was changed by this kid, so in the end, his family still came out ahead.

"Grandpa, Little Chen, what are you two doing, staring at each other like that?"

Qian Renxue stood to the side, looking at Ye Liangchen and her grandfather who remained motionless, and was very curious.

"Why can't you say it in front of me and Xue'er? Why do you have to use telepathy?"

After Bibi Dong's soul advanced to a divine soul, she sensed the mental fluctuations of Qian Daoliu and Ye Liangchen and knew that the two must be discussing something.

"It's nothing, senior was just discussing with me the question of whether it's possible to become a god."

Ye Liangchen gave a perfunctory answer to the two women, but he absolutely could not mention the matter of Qian Daoliu's sacrifice, otherwise Qian Renxue would definitely object.

"Yes! That's it."

"Little Chen, my soul has now advanced to the level of a divine soul. Can I still become a god?"

Qian Daoliu, following Ye Liangchen's lead, also asked about his own path to godhood.

"It's possible, but without a divine position, you'll be like those ordinary soldiers in the divine realm, with levels between 100 and 110... Once you cultivate to a certain level, you might have your own divine position. However, a divine position in the divine realm is like a shackle. Once you have a divine position, you can't leave the divine realm. After a while, it becomes very boring and tedious. So some gods choose to pass on their divine positions and then leave the divine realm to travel the stars."

Ye Liangchen explained the levels after level 100 to give everyone a clear understanding.

"Whether I have a divine position or not doesn't matter, as long as I can break through to level 100, that's enough."

After hearing Ye Liangchen's description, Qian Daoliu was very excited. Anyway, his granddaughter would be an Angel God in the future, which was a god-level existence. As long as he was alive, that was enough.

Qian Daoliu was still thinking that once he became a god, he would pursue Poseidon. Although she had rejected him back then, falling for his best friend Tang Chen, Poseidon had also declared to the two of them that she would be with whoever became a god. Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu thought to himself: Tang Chen, sorry, I won.

Bibi Dong did not reveal that Tang Chen was the King of Slaughter. Qian Daoliu was unaware that Tang Chen was dead, believing that he was still somewhere searching for the inheritance of the gods.

"So, after becoming a god, we still need to cultivate diligently?"

Qian Renxue originally thought that it would be over after inheriting the divine position, but she did not expect there to be such a detailed level.

"Xue'er, the angelic position you inherited is just a title. You still have to rely on your own cultivation to improve your true strength step by step."

Qian Daoliu reminded Qian Renxue not to be arrogant, as level 100 was just the beginning in the God Realm.

"I understand, Grandpa." Qian Renxue nodded.

"Godmother, now that your soul strength has increased, what changes have you noticed?" Ye Liangchen asked Bibi Dong, trying to change the subject.

"My soul has now been elevated to the level of divine soul, and my affinity with the Asura divine power has reached 50%. The Asura divine thought urges me to inherit the divine position as soon as possible."

Bibi Dong recounted her changes, and she also wanted Ye Liangchen to help her make a decision regarding the Divine Examination.

"Your soul has been upgraded to a divine soul. Even the Asura God himself in the God Realm is probably completely bewildered. That's why he let you accept the inheritance so quickly. I think you should first cultivate your soul power to perfection. Then inheriting the divine position will be a piece of cake. Moreover, the Spirit Hall is currently in a period of development, and you still need to control the overall situation."

"Didn't the God of Asura tell us to purify the City of Slaughter? Then let's wait until Sister Xue and I are stronger, and then we'll have her come with me. We'll use the power of the angels to counter the power of the Rakshasa. That way, purifying the City of Slaughter will be easier."

Ye Liangchen told Bibi Dong to wait a moment, lest she go to the City of Slaughter alone and be secretly sabotaged by Rakshasa God, which would cause trouble.

"You're right. With my current level 99 soul power, I can inherit the divine position at any time. So I'll wait for you guys to level up first. Also, I can keep an eye on the Blood-Eyed Douluo of the Rakshasa Cult to prevent him from causing trouble on the mainland."

Bibi Dong followed Ye Liangchen's arrangement and did not rush to inherit the divine position. Remembering Tang Chen's previous experience, she could not take risks alone. It would be safer to have the little guy's help.

Having resolved the matter between Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, Ye Liangchen should now return.

"Your Holiness, esteemed elders, we are leaving now. Goodbye."

On this day, in the main hall of the Papal Palace, Ye Liangchen bid farewell to Bibi Dong and the others, and then led everyone away from Papal Mountain.

After Ye Liangchen, Jin Ling'er, and Hu Liena left, Bibi Dong felt a void in her heart. Qian Renxue was about to take the divine test again, and she was left alone in the vast manor. Fortunately, her little apprentice Jin Xiuzhu was sensible and would come back to keep her company after school every day, so she was not lonely.

……

After Ye Liangchen left, Qian Renxue also began her divine test. Under the guidance of Qian Daoliu, she entered a field with 999 steps and began her cultivation.

The area here possesses a golden light, similar to the light of the sea god, except that it is extremely hot, and those without fire attribute soul masters simply cannot withstand it.

"Buzzing..."

Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on the 50th step, circulated the Xuan Tian Gong, and began to cultivate her soul power. She immediately felt very comfortable.

"This girl is much more capable than I was back then."

Looking at Qian Renxue's composed demeanor, Qian Daoliu felt that he had truly aged. When he first entered this place to cultivate, he found it difficult to cultivate on the 30 steps.

Two hours later, Qian Renxue stopped cultivating and then tried to challenge a higher step. After reaching the 70th step, she came down.

"Grandpa, please don't bother me during this time. Just give me some food. I need to use the pressure here to break through to level 70 as soon as possible. Little Chen is already level 68. I need to work hard to catch up with him."

After giving Qian Daoliu a few instructions, Qian Renxue began to climb the 70 steps again and started to cultivate diligently.

"Okay! Okay! Grandpa will listen to you."

Qian Daoliu quickly left the temple and arranged food for his granddaughter. He was very happy that the little girl was going to cultivate diligently.

After Qian Renxue got on track, Qian Daoliu had nothing to do, so he decided to go to Poseidon Island to see Poseidon.

A few days later, Qian Daoliu arrived at the outskirts of Poseidon Island. Looking at this beautiful island, he was filled with emotion.

"Swish..."

"Who goes there?"

Just then, the seven Title Douluos guarding the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island appeared and blocked Qian Daoliu's way.

"My name is Sen Daoliu." Sen Daoliu calmly announced his name.

"Angel Douluo, what are you doing on our Seagod Island?"

"Does your Spirit Hall intend to start another war with Seagod Island?"

Upon hearing that the newcomer was Qian Daoliu, one of the three peerless Douluo, the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, releasing their martial spirits and preparing for battle.

"He can fly, I can't stop him."

Just then, the Demon Soul Great White Shark appeared, barking angrily. It failed to stop Qian Daoliu, much to her annoyance.

"I have come here with no ill intentions."

Qian Daoliu calmly looked at the seven people and thought to himself: Back then, his son led 2000 Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall and was defeated by these seven people. They are indeed very powerful!

"Everyone, step back!"

Just then, Poseidon appeared, flew to Qian Daoliu, and ordered the seven titled Douluo of the Seven Sacred Pillars to step back.

"High Priest..." Sea Dragon Douluo was a little worried.

"All of you, step back," Poseidon sternly ordered the crowd.

"Yes, High Priest!" The Seven Pillar Guardians and the island's guardian beast, Little White, all left the scene.

"Why are you here?"

Poseidon looked at Qian Daoliu and calmly said something.

"It's been so many years, I've come to see you!"

"Poseidon, my soul has been upgraded to a divine soul. Perhaps soon I will break through level 100 and become a god. My status as a divine servant will no longer be able to bind me."

Looking at Poseidon's stunningly beautiful face, Qian Daoliu's aged heart began to stir with romantic feelings, so he told her about his impending ascension to godhood.

"Your soul ascended to the level of a divine soul? How did you manage that?"

"No, with your abilities, it's impossible for you to do all that."

Poseidon was incredibly surprised to hear about Qian Daoliu's change, but then sensed something was wrong. The other party was a servant of the gods, just like himself, and could never become a god unless a god helped him.

"Ahem! Poseidon, don't worry about how I did it. After I become a god, I will take you out of this sea of ​​suffering."

Qian Daoliu dared not say that Ye Liangchen had helped him, because if Poseidon knew that the little guy was his grandson-in-law, it would cause him trouble.

"Qian Daoliu, don't waste your time. Even if you become a god, it has nothing to do with me."

Poseidon rejected Qian Daoliu's offer on the spot, even if the other party had truly become a god; if you don't like someone, you simply don't like them.

"Ah! Xixi...didn't you say back then that you'd follow whoever became a god?"

Qian Daoliu felt like he was about to break apart. Being rejected by the goddess in his heart was too painful.

"What did I say? I was just trying to discourage you from trying."

"Back when your Spirit Hall attacked Seagod Island, you still expect me to like you? Do you think that's possible?"

Poseidon said coldly, thinking to himself: Not going to war with you is already giving you face.

"Ah! Poseidon, what happened back then was the fault of our Spirit Hall, and I apologize to you."

"I'm leaving. You can continue waiting for Tang Chen!"

Seeing that the goddess had rejected him, Qian Daoliu knew he was being frivolous, so he turned and left, thinking to himself with a self-deprecating smile: "I should just focus on taking care of my granddaughter's child from now on! I'm so old, what's the point of dating?"

Do you know where Tang Chen is? Is he still alive?

Upon hearing the name Tang Chen, Poseidon was incredibly excited, so he stopped Qian Daoliu and asked him about him.

"I don't know. He disappeared decades ago. There's not a single trace of him."

Qian Daoliu calmly replied that he truly did not know anything about his good friend's situation.

"So that's how it is."

Poseidon sighed deeply, knowing that he would never see Tang Chen again in this lifetime.

"Poseidon, I'm leaving now." After saying this, Qian Daoliu prepared to leave.

"Hey! Wait a minute, do you know that boy named Ye Liangchen?" Poseidon quickly stopped Qian Daoliu and asked about Ye Liangchen.

"Ah...! Poseidon, why are you asking about that kid?"

"And how did you find out about him?"

Upon hearing that Poseidon was actually inquiring about Ye Liangchen, Qian Daoliu's expression cracked again.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu's mind was buzzing. What was the relationship between this woman and this boy? Could it be...?

"Lord Poseidon said that the young man will come to Poseidon Island, so I'd like to ask, how is he doing now?"

Seeing Qian Daoliu's expression, Poseidon knew that the other party had misunderstood him, so he explained to him.

"Oh, I see!"

"That kid is incredible now. He founded a super power called Tenglong Pavilion, with six Title Douluo under his command. And he himself is even more extraordinary. Before he was even 16 years old, his strength was already close to that of a Soul Saint. He's also handsome, and his Soul Ring combination is even more incredible, breaking all kinds of limits. He can be said to be a peerless genius who combines strength, beauty, and wisdom. He is the most monstrous genius in the history of Douluo Continent."

"I have lived for over a hundred years and have never seen such a monstrous genius. It would not be an exaggeration to call him the son of a god."

Qian Daoliu praised Ye Liangchen. After all, that kid was his granddaughter's husband, so praising him was also praising his granddaughter. Besides, that kid was going to bring people to Poseidon Island for training later, so it was perfectly reasonable for him, as the grandfather, to help promote him and leave a good impression on Poseidon.

"Is he really that outstanding? Can your Spirit Hall just let him grow like this?" Poseidon felt that Qian Daoliu was exaggerating.

"Poseidon, that kid is indeed very talented."

"Our Spirit Hall will not force anyone, so you're overthinking it."

Qian Daoliu was also helpless when he saw that Poseidon had a bad impression of the Spirit Hall. It was all his fault for being ignorant back then and not stopping his foolish son from leading the attack on Seagod Island, which ruined the reputation of the Spirit Hall.

"Sendou Ryu, you should leave!"

Poseidon couldn't get any useful information and simply told them to leave.

"Okay! I'll leave now."

"Poseidon, take care."

Since the goddess didn't welcome him, Qian Daoliu felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so he flew away from Seagod Island. Going back to watch over his granddaughter's ascension to godhood was the most important thing.

"Swish..."

"High Priest, are you alright?"

After Qian Daoliu left, Hailong Douluo and the others immediately came to Poseidon's side.

"What could I possibly need? Return to the island and guard it well."

"Swish..."

After Poseidon finished speaking, he flew towards the Temple of Poseidon, leaving the Seven Pillar Guardians bewildered in the wind.
