"." Qian Daoliu in the starry sky silently flapped his wings, remaining silent.

Qian Daoliu harbored deep prejudices against Yu Xiaogang. He had known Yu Xiaogang for longer than Chen Hong had been alive, so his understanding of Yu Xiaogang was naturally more comprehensive than Chen Hong's.

In the Ten Theories of Martial Souls, Yu Xiaogang never mentioned the contributions of the Spirit Hall. Moreover, even after Yu Xiaogang broke with Bibi Dong, he still clung to his identity as an elder of the Spirit Hall.

When there's nothing he needs from the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang practically vanishes into thin air, leaving no trace. But when there is something he needs from the Spirit Hall, he's like a persistent leech. For example, as Qian Daoliu knows, a few years ago, Yu Xiaogang asked Bibi Dong about the cultivation method for twin spirits, and after being refused, he acted as if he had suffered a great injustice.

When Qian Daoliu heard about this, he assumed that Yu Xiaogang was going to return the Elder's Token of the Spirit Hall. But in the end, Yu Xiaogang refused to mention it again.

It wasn't that Qian Daoliu was stingy, but Yu Xiaogang, despite having such a big conflict and disagreement with the Spirit Hall, still clung to the Elder's Token and wouldn't let go. His hesitant and awkward manner was just like the Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce's comment on Shrek Academy: "Independent in spirit, dependent on material things."

"The second thing is that the divinely bestowed spirit ring was created out of thin air, giving the spirit skill most suitable for the spirit master. This means that the spirit skill of that spirit ring has a very high degree of randomness. Senior, do you have any sense of déjà vu regarding this phenomenon?"

Putting Yu Xiaogang's matter aside for now, Chen Hong has already turned against him. He hadn't realized it before, and it didn't bother him much. But today, he suddenly realized this issue, and a small prejudice against Yu Xiaogang began to form in his heart.

"Soul Technique? But that's not random; it's random within a broad category!" Qian Daoliu in the starry sky paused slightly upon hearing this, then realized what he meant and replied.

"But senior, even a random soul ring bestowed by a god, a randomness under a soul technique, is still a kind of randomness. Senior may imagine the power of a god to be as strong as possible, but in reality, senior is not a god, and therefore does not know what a divinely bestowed soul ring truly is, right?"

"The soul skills of a divinely bestowed soul ring, as a downgrade of soul techniques, can still appear as 'random soul skills' if we perform some kind of 'information encryption,' thus fooling ignorant mortals."

The blue and white flames around Chen Hong grew increasingly intense, and his aura gradually approached perfection.

As Chen Hong's spiritual realm improved, his speed in refining the Spirit Essence increased rapidly. Furthermore, due to the significant advancement in his spiritual realm, small quantities of Spirit Essence had a less noticeable effect on his spiritual power. However, if he used the Spirit Essence as a spiritual recovery potion, his absorption rate would be extremely fast. He could essentially refine and absorb it simultaneously, and it was estimated that he would be able to completely absorb the turbulent flow of faith on Sea Soul Island within a few hours, restoring his spiritual power to its peak level of eighty.

With a flap of its wings, Qian Daoliu floated in the starry sky, silently watching Chen Hong in the distance, remaining silent.

He understood what Chen Hong wanted to do: to break Qian Daoliu's blind faith in the gods. Yes, Chen Hong wanted to break Qian Daoliu's blind faith in the power of the gods so that he could calm down and look at the world from a different perspective.

Then you'll discover that the so-called gods are nothing more than...

Qian Daoliu quickly stopped his arrogant thoughts, and his face became even more gloomy.

"The most important insights I gained from the divinely bestowed spirit rings are these two points: the spirit ring's lifespan and the randomness of spirit skills. Hehe, if I had read this content five years ago, I might have been completely confused. But coincidentally, five years later, although I haven't seen a divinely bestowed spirit ring, I can understand the core aspects of it using existing theories."

Chen Hong didn't pay attention to Qian Daoliu in the distant starry sky. He could only roughly sense the other party's aura and could not directly scan the other party, so he could not actually observe the changes in Qian Daoliu's expression.

"Another topic is about the divine examination."

The Spirit Hall's files were so disorganized that even the Spirit Hall itself was unaware that those files, which were enough to make anyone's scalp tingle just by looking at them, actually contained information about divinely bestowed spirit rings and divine trials from thousands of years ago.

As a knowledge transporter, Chen Hong spent half a year successfully emptying the Spirit Hall's knowledge base, which had been accumulated over thousands of years. He then used his mental network to organize the information, so it's quite normal that he was able to acquire some strange and unusual knowledge.

"Well, senior, why don't you guess what it was during the Divine Trial that piqued my interest the most?" Chen Hong was about to say something, but the blue and white flames on his body suddenly began to decrease, so he threw the question to Qian Daoliu.

The two communicated through a mental network. The reason Chen Hong discovered Qian Daoliu's whereabouts was because Qian Daoliu appeared at the outermost edge of the mental network and was sensed by Chen Hong.

Faced with Chen Hong's question, Qian Daoliu, with a stern face, gave three answers: "Increased soul power! Soul bone reward! Upgraded soul ring!"

Chen Hong: "."

"As expected of a senior, you actually said it all at once." Chen Hong was slightly surprised, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that Qian Daoliu was able to answer Chen Hong's question perfectly means that he was using the logic Chen Hong provided for analysis and thought. Under that logic, the final conclusion is that "gods are nothing more than that."

Although Chen Hong didn't believe Qian Daoliu would attack him, after all, through their interactions over the years, Chen Hong basically understood what kind of person Qian Daoliu was. As the pillar of the Angel Qian family, Qian Daoliu's only flaw was Qian Xunji. Fortunately, Tang Hao intervened and helped Qian Daoliu eliminate his only weakness.

Well... in short, because of Qian Daoliu's status as a top-tier expert, Chen Hong, whose strength was insufficient, could not "see" Qian Daoliu's expression using his telekinesis. Therefore, he was unsure what Qian Daoliu's expression was. If Chen Hong's eyes were still functional, he could observe Qian Daoliu's expression in a "physical" way and thus weigh his subsequent words.

Both realistic and spiritual perspectives have their limitations when used alone; it's best to use them together. My eyes, please come back! I promise you, no matter how you are, I won't pry your eyes off you anymore.

Take Chen Hong himself as an example; his mental power cannot see through his specially made soul guide clothes.

Similarly, Chen Hong's mental power was interfered with by Qian Daoliu's aura, and he could not clearly "see" Qian Daoliu's appearance.
