Douluo Continent: Transmigrated as Qian Renxue's follower, forced to become a god

Chapter 443 Annihilation of the Soul

"Qian...Qian Yuhan?"

Poseidon looked at the newcomer, his expression momentarily dazed, and murmured something.

"You...you're not dead? How is that possible?"

The temperature at the Temple of Poseidon was rising, and the temple itself was relatively humid, filled with moisture.

But at this moment, the concept of dryness emerged, and the animal-faced stone statues on both sides of the temple melted and turned into a pile of fiery red lava.

These beast-faced stone statues were all created by Poseidon after he became a god, and each one is the original soul beast of the soul ring he once obtained.

The Infinite Angel glanced at a small beast beside Poseidon, which was the priest named Poseidon. It had once been Poseidon's soul ring and soul bone, and then it came up with him, just like Poseidon who had been killed by Qian Renxue before.

The divine beast revealed its true form and was baring its teeth at the Infinite Angel.

"Get out." The Infinite Angel glanced at it, shook its head slightly, and said softly, "Leave. What happens next is none of your business."

"Impossible!" Poseidon, whose true form was a sea lion, roared at the entrance to the sea god's temple, "Help! Someone come quick!"

"Who's in the main hall! Seize them! Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"

Just two seconds later, a group of deities gathered outside the temple of the sea god; they were all the sea god's loyal followers.

In the realm of gods, there were originally eighteen first-level gods, two hundred and sixteen second-level gods, one thousand eight hundred and forty-seven third-level gods, and about ten thousand ordinary priests and hunters.

The Infinite Angel turned around. The newcomers were densely packed, the highest-ranking being a third-level god.

These guys probably don't know that the God-King of Law Enforcement in the Divine Realm has changed, so they don't recognize Qian Renxue, nor are they quite clear that the rumbling noises outside were caused by this person in front of them. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't dare to force their way into the law enforcement scene even if they had a hundred lives.

"Halt!" the Infinite Angel hissed.

"Huh?" The leading third-level god was stunned, somewhat incredulous as an immense pressure swept over him.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly. She had come to kill the Sea God, and these guys were outside the scope of law enforcement. Indiscriminate killing was prohibited during law enforcement.

"Miss, please let me out," Shi Yueyi said. "I'll handle these audacious fellows."

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment and agreed. After entering the God Realm, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was baptized by the immortal spiritual energy, so even without the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Qian Renxue herself was still an Angel God King.

As for Shi Yueyi, she essentially got a boost by exploiting a bug. In a sense, she entered the God Realm ahead of time, as a member of Qian Renxue's family.

The Infinite Angels separated, and these guys noticed that the entity in front of them had suddenly weakened a bit. They thought the entity was afraid, so they wanted to continue to rush in.

"Have you all gone deaf? I told you to stop!"

Shi Yueyi reached out, holding a golden badge in her hand, and displayed it to the newcomer.

This is Qian Renxue's Angelic Law Enforcement God King Badge, which appeared on them after they entered the God Realm and is a symbol of their identity.

"This, this is!" In an instant, the priest who rushed in was forced to lean back by the badge.

"The God-King's Badge! Seeing this badge is like seeing the God-King of Law Enforcement!" Shi Yueyi glared at the other person. "Get out of here immediately and don't disrupt the law enforcement scene!"

The leading third-level god and Poseidon exchanged a glance, caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do. This was indeed the emblem of the Law Enforcement God-King; the aura emanating from it was genuine. However, they didn't know when this guy had appeared, and... who was holding this Law Enforcement emblem?

"You don't want to leave, huh?" Shi Yueyi narrowed her eyes. "You won't even bow to the God King?"

"Don't go too far!" Poseidon said angrily.

"Liar! There is no such God-King in the God Realm! And who are you, using this badge to intimidate others?" The third-level god glared angrily at Shi Yueyi.

"You're glaring at the Angel God King?" Shi Yueyi held up the badge and walked up to the third-level god. "Take a good look, is this real?"

The third-level god trembled with fear. He truly sensed a similar aura on this badge, for the God of Destruction had once mediated the conflict between him and another deity.

"If they don't want to leave, then let them stay," Qian Renxue said calmly. "It's fine to take a look."

Shi Yueyi took the badge back and tossed it to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue took it immediately, knowing that she would need to use the authority granted by this badge when judging the gods.

"Qian Yuhan, what crime have I committed!" Poseidon stared in horror at the badge, knowing in his heart that he couldn't escape this time.

Moreover, there are so many other gods watching!

He struggled to look up at the high point of the temple, as if the former Asura God stood there.

The last time he got into trouble, the Asura God came to him with this arrogant attitude and then impatiently nag.

Finally, I have to say you're in big trouble. Last time I confiscated your trident, and I gave you a fake one so you could release the real one into the Nether. Now you'd better pack your bags and get ready to run away!

Finally, Poseidon, the god of the sea, had no choice but to send his heart to the mainland, intending to find a successor and then flee.

"That was the former angel god, Qian Yuhan." Qian Renxue sighed. "Stop pretending to be crazy, that trick won't work on me."

Could it be that she's developed an immunity to my crazy ramblings? Shi Yueyi wondered to herself.

"I am the new angel, the Angel God-King, the Enforcement God-King, Qian Renxue. You couldn't possibly not know my name," Qian Renxue said slowly. "One of your crimes is that you brazenly projected your divine sense into the lower realm before, intending to kill me and my grandfather."

"That's mine!" Poseidon said, his neck red.

"First of all, who obtains the divine inheritance is beyond the control of the deity himself. You can only decide whether to pass on your divine position to someone else after they have obtained the inheritance. Secondly, even if you dislike us and want to compete for the divine inheritance, it is your Seagod Island people who have to come to my Spirit Hall to take it."

"I sent men!" Poseidon roared. "I sent Poseidon and Sea Dragon Douluo, and you just killed them all!"

"Isn't it because the people of your Seagod Island are too weak?" Qian Renxue smiled. "Besides, Poseidon and Sea Dragon didn't come to the continent to negotiate; they came to find the Heart of the Seagod. Don't you even remember the orders you gave?"

Poseidon blushed, realizing he had indeed misremembered.

"After Poseidon and Sea Dragon Douluo set foot on the continent, you once again used Poseidon's martial soul and body to descend upon the Douluo Continent, only to be intercepted by us. Even that wisp of your spirit was left on the Douluo Continent and refined into the crystallized body of Poseidon. Don't you remember this part?"

"No wonder!" Poseidon exclaimed in sudden realization. "No wonder the Lord has become a bit...clumsy not long ago, even having me let him win at chess. It turns out it's because he lost a sliver of his attention!"

Each God King Badge has its own characteristics. The Asura Badge can make people clear-headed and murderous, while one of the effects of the Angel Badge is that it can make people reveal their innermost thoughts, possibly due to the influence of the Angel Oracle ability.

Before it, Poseidon spoke his mind.

Qian Renxue didn't directly use this ability on Poseidon because she also had her own selfish motives, wanting to embarrass Poseidon.

"Shut up!" Poseidon's face flushed red. "I lost the chess game... that's because I treated people with respect!"

What followed was more difficult to understand: the gathering of wise men and elders, all because Poseidon treated his subordinates well, which led to the sea god's growing influence, even surpassing that of the elemental water gods. The entire sea god's temple was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Oh! So it's because you treat your subordinates so well!" Qian Renxue suddenly realized. "Perfect timing! I have some footage here from before Poseidon's fall. Would you sea god's subordinates like to see it?"

All the gods looked over in confusion.

Qian Renxue released a projection, showing Poseidon's last night before her expedition to the continent. She was half-lying in the illusory pool next to the statue, with moonlight shining on her body, casting mosaic-like curves.

She swung her long legs, creating ripples in the water, her eyes fixed on the sea god statue, radiating naked worship: "May the waves wash away the filth from my body, and may this journey be successful and complete."

"This is a scene I found among the statues in the temple on Poseidon Island. I didn't expect you to have preserved it. Are you going to savor it again?" Qian Renxue said playfully, then looked at Poseidon, "What was Poseidon doing that day?"

Poseidon immediately said, "The Lord is looking at his crystal ball. He ignored me when I asked him to play chess, and he won't even let me see it!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Lord Poseidon, I never imagined you would... spy on your female subordinates!" the third-level god stammered. "The bathtubs in our residences were ordered from the Temple of the Sea God. Did you also leave a back door for them?"

"Get out! I have no interest in men!" Poseidon shouted angrily.

"Ah—! That's my home…" a female priestess exclaimed in shock. "Lord Sea God, you…you deserve to die!"

Poseidon's face turned as red as if he had been struck by Luo Sanpao's earth-shattering blow.

"And then there's your order for the sea spirit beasts to attack the continent..." Qian Renxue continued, revealing one of Poseidon's actions after another.

"The fact that this deity can still play chess unscathed means that the former God of Law Enforcement must either be using connections or has been sleeping for too long!" Shi Yueyi said indignantly.

"I apologize, we were indeed negligent at the time. On the other hand, Douluo Star is indeed under the jurisdiction of the God of Asura, and Life and I are also overseeing other planes." The voice of the God of Destruction came from the void. "Please continue, everyone is watching."

"Destruction!" the sea god shouted to those around him.

But destruction fell silent, no longer making a sound.

The sea god's expression finally turned completely panicked, because Destruction had just said that everyone was watching. And this "everyone" wasn't just the people in front of him; it probably included other gods in the divine realm, including those enemies who had previously disliked him.

"...Oh, right, there's one more thing." Qian Renxue's expression was calm, like a cold and ruthless sentencing machine.

"Enough! Shut up, you ignorant brat!" Poseidon's face was contorted with rage as he lunged at Qian Renxue.

"Did I tell you to get up?" Qian Renxue said casually.

But with just this seemingly casual remark, immense pressure, like mountains and seas, pressed Poseidon firmly onto his divine throne, causing him to tumble down and kneel in submission.

Qian Renxue stepped forward gently, and with a flick of her Angelic Sword, she overturned the chessboard.

"And... that name you just mentioned, Qian Yuhan..." Qian Renxue said softly, "I don't need to say more about her, do I?"

Poseidon knelt on the ground, looking up in terror. He didn't know he was wrong, but he knew he was really going to die.

"No, no! Don't!" Poseidon struggled, taking off his golden armor piece by piece, and then put on a pitiful look.

He and the Angel Gods were from the same era, so he knew some of their personalities. Qian Yuhan would never harm a pitiful person.

Poseidon removed his golden armor and laid it neatly to the side. His legs trembled uncontrollably as he prostrated himself on the ground of the sea god's temple.

"Poseidon, stand up!" a deity shouted. "You are the god of the sea, a first-rank deity. Even if you die, die standing! Don't disgrace our divine realm!"

But Poseidon pressed his forehead firmly to the ground and kept banging it against it, one after another, producing a total of nine muffled thuds.

Qian Renxue watched all this calmly, without turning away, because she was worthy of this ritual of repentance.

"I am guilty... Please let me leave, I am willing to relinquish my position as sea god..." Poseidon wept bitterly, he had transformed from a high and mighty god into a groveling dog.

"Tsk—" came the voice of the evil god-king, "Poseidon, the entire divine realm is watching! Compared to him, Shura has more dignity. At least he fought to the last moment, even in death he was fighting desperately. What kind of talk is that!"

Poseidon thought to himself, "If I could fight, I would have done it already. This is the Temple of the Sea God. Even the former Asura God could fight here with the blessing of the temple."

However, ever since the angel entered the temple, the temperature of the entire temple began to rise, and he immediately realized that he had no chance of winning, even if the opponent had unleashed his Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Because Qian Renxue's power is holy light and fire, even fire, as a secondary attribute, can completely suppress his primary attribute, water.

Poseidon slowly raised his head, his upper body completely naked. His long, sea-blue hair was disheveled from the recent kowtowing, and his eyes, hidden between the strands, revealed a look that was both pitiful and filled with a concealed venom.

"Violating the rules of the divine realm, annihilation!" Qian Renxue remained unmoved as she faced this criminal who was like a lapdog, coldly uttering this verdict.

"No, no, I'll be your slave, your servant—"

Before Poseidon could finish speaking, Qian Renxue's angelic holy sword ignited with sacred flames and pierced straight into Poseidon's head, forcing him to kneel and retreat until he returned to his throne.

But this was not the end. The blade continued to turn inward, a manifestation of Qian Renxue's rage, like divine punishment descending from the heavens.

At the moment of execution, the anger within her could no longer be contained. She recalled the lingering will of her ancestors that she had encountered before the angel statue, and the promise she had made.

She exercised extreme restraint to prevent herself from screaming out loud.

Sometimes, simply restraining yourself when dealing with a jerk is useless.

The angelic sword pierced Poseidon's body, pinning him firmly to his throne.

Qian Renxue waved her left hand, unleashing invisible divine power of light and fire to slice open a portion of the throne and embed Poseidon's body into it.

Then, with a single palm strike, he precisely struck Poseidon's soul, which was trying to escape, and annihilated it.
