Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

He has diligently cultivated himself for more than ten years, just to live this kind of life, isn't that what he wanted?

And his girlfriend is about to become a goddess and take him to eat and drink the best food and drink, which is absolutely awesome.

Just like in all fairy tales, the male and female protagonists lived happily ever after.

There's no way around it, he's just that kind of unambitious person. If he doesn't have any pressure, the difference between him and a paramecium is that the paramecium has to work hard to find food, while he would just want to lie in bed and wait for someone to feed him.

Thinking this, he suddenly laughed out loud. But as he laughed, he couldn't laugh anymore.

How could this world possibly be a fairy tale?

Lu Mingfei was actually terribly panicked inside.

Becoming a god is not something that can be done so easily. Although Qian Renxue did not say it, she could tell the seriousness of the matter just by looking at Qian Daoliu's serious expression.

Lu Mingfei usually doesn't even dare to think about the possibility of something happening.

The only consolation is that the Spirit Hall must hold an important place in the script of this world, and Qian Renxue becoming a god should be a given.

However, before or shortly after becoming a god, there will definitely be a huge upheaval.

Even now, Tang San, who has acquired the protagonist template, is nowhere to be found. Who knows where he might be secretly developing his strength, preparing to make a name for himself?

He had suspected as early as when Tang Chen appeared that this was a prelude to Tang San receiving the Asura God position.

But later, Tang Chen actually begged for mercy and said he could give him the sword. Only then did he realize that Tang San had failed to inherit the position of the Asura God and had left the Haotian Sect.

Therefore, Tang San is very likely to be favored by another god, and the most likely place he knows is Seagod Island, where not only are there two peerless powerhouses, Tang Chen and Poseidon, but also the power of the Seagod himself.

He showed such disrespect to the Sea God last time, so he's probably already held a grudge. Therefore, it makes even more sense for him to choose Tang San.

Lu Mingfei even considered sneaking into Poseidon Island to find an opportunity to get rid of Tang San.

Putting aside whether he could do it with his current strength, he was also worried that Qian Renxue would fail to become a god because of it.

After all, the protagonist and the boss are complementary, and whether Tang San lives or dies is not as important as a single hair on Qian Renxue's head.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei remained silent, focusing solely on his cultivation. As long as he was strong enough, he could kill Tang San even if Tang San became a god.

He was actually fully engaged in overclocking meditation while in his room.

In two months, he reached level 86, just four levels away from breaking through to the Title Douluo level.

For a Soul Master, reaching the Title Douluo level represents a qualitative leap. Lu Mingfei had a premonition that once he broke through to the Title Douluo level, he would be able to possess the strength to fight against a true god-level powerhouse.

Furthermore, the ninth spirit ring that Lu Mingze mentioned must be very important, and he must make all the necessary preparations.

On the other side, in the Douluo Hall, the brightest and most dazzling place in the entire Spirit City, Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes. A sacred, pale golden aura flowed within her eyes, which had completely turned golden.

After ten days of introspection, she finally completed the eighth test of the angels, raising her strength to level ninety-eight, and only one step remained before she became a god.

Chapter 290 Nine Tests?

"Xiaoxue, congratulations. Now even I am no match for you."

Qian Daoliu was genuinely happy for Qian Renxue, for the angelic legacy, now passed down to his generation, was finally about to shine once again with the glory of the Angel God.

Qian Renxue's gaze softened, and her aloof and superior demeanor faded away, transforming her back into the innocent and carefree girl she once was.

She couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, feeling both joy and excitement, as well as lingering fear. She had almost failed the eighth test, but thankfully, she escaped unscathed. She remembered what Lu Mingfei had said: to accept one's imperfections. Finally, she faced her past sins head-on.

"Grandpa, I want to proceed directly to the ninth exam," Qian Renxue said slowly, her tone resolute.

Qian Daoliu was slightly taken aback when he didn't expect Qian Renxue to make this request. He originally thought that Qian Renxue would be eager to go back and celebrate with Lu Mingfei, but he quickly nodded.

Going all out in one go is indeed a good idea. Rather than going back to rest and having your mind disturbed by the outside world, it's better to strike while the iron is hot and complete the assessment directly.

In reality, Qian Renxue was afraid. She was afraid that after seeing Lu Mingfei after leaving this door, she would never be able to muster the courage to take the ninth test again.

"Then let's begin. My existence is to await this day. I have waited for this day for over a hundred years. Come with me."

A flash of light appeared behind Qian Daoliu, and he was enveloped in a golden light. Three pairs of wings stretched out from his back, and nine spirit rings were neatly arranged on his body. His whole body was covered with a layer of golden radiance, as dazzling as the sun.

At the same time, a golden rhombus-shaped gem appeared between his eyebrows as he arrived in front of the giant angel statue in the center of the Douluo Palace.

Immediately afterwards, a strange golden light shone from the rhombus-shaped gem and shone on the angel statue's forehead.

The next moment, a golden vortex as tall as a person slowly appeared between the angel statue's eyebrows.

"Come with me." Qian Daoliu turned around and beckoned to Qian Renxue, then suddenly accelerated and disappeared into the vortex.

Qian Renxue floated up and rushed in as well.

The vortex between the god's eyebrows began to slowly shrink and finally disappeared completely, as if it had never existed.

Meanwhile, in the main hall, Bibi Dong was reviewing memorials and handling government affairs while testing her disciple Hu Liena's cultivation.

"Teacher, is something on your mind?" Hu Liena noticed that Bibi Dong was distracted.

Bibi Dong smiled and shook her head: "Nana, I'm fine. By the way, how has Lu Mingfei been these past few days?"

Speaking of Lu Mingfei, Bibi Dong gritted her teeth. That kid was more than just a doorman; after living together for almost two years, he had probably already taken advantage of her.

Beast!

“Lu Mingfei has been staying in his room these past few days and hasn’t gone out. All his meals have been delivered to his room, and that’s about it,” Hu Liena said truthfully.

After Lu Mingfei's visit, his relationship with the Holy Maiden became semi-public among the higher-ups. Everyone knew that he was the future son-in-law, but no one knew why their teacher seemed to dislike him.

Lu Mingfei probably knew this himself, so he just stayed in his room and didn't come out.

"At least he has some self-awareness." Bibi Dong snorted coldly. If she saw Lu Mingfei swaggering around in front of her, she would definitely teach him a lesson.

Hu Liena stood to the side, hesitating for a long time before slowly speaking: "Teacher, why do you dislike Lu Mingfei?"

As a disciple, she didn't want to see conflicts constantly arising between her teacher and the Holy Maiden because of Lu Mingfei.

She was also puzzled. Teacher Ming had previously considered taking Lu Mingfei as a disciple, so why did he now dislike Lu Mingfei so much?

“That’s not something you should be asking,” Bibi Dong said coldly. She had almost never lost her temper with Hu Liena.

Doesn't she know how talented and promising Lu Mingfei is?

She had read the letter Qian Renxue wrote to Qian Daoliu. When Lu Mingfei was a quasi-Soul Douluo, he killed a million-year-old soul beast, absorbed a million-year-old soul ring, and even voluntarily gave his million-year-old soul bone to Qian Daoliu.

But she felt angry whenever she thought about how Qian Renxue had compared Lu Mingfei to her Xiao Gang last time.

She would never admit that her Xiao Gang was inferior to Lu Mingfei.

Just then, an urgent secret letter from Hanhai City caught her eye. After opening the letter, she immediately slammed her hand on the table and her expression changed.

Intelligence gathered long ago indicated that Lu Mingfei had been entangled with many girls while studying at the Royal Academy, and it turns out that he still hasn't broken things off completely!

"Once Xiaoxue finishes the divine test, I'll see how you explain it."

Bibi Dong immediately replied and sent out the secret message.

—－

When Qian Renxue opened her eyes, she found herself and Qian Daoliu in a golden hexagonal hall, surrounded by an endless starry sky, as if they were in the universe.

"This is the true Temple of Angels, the place where the Angel God's legacy is passed down." Qian Daoliu led Qian Renxue to the angel statue in the center of the hall.

"The day has finally come. Xiaoxue, stand here." Qian Daoliu gestured for Qian Renxue to step forward and stand properly.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, slowly stepped forward and stood still, gazing at the angel statue in front of her, her gaze becoming increasingly firm.

“Use your blood.” Qian Daoliu pointed to the transparent gem on the angel statue's longsword.

Qian Renxue nodded, raised her right hand, circulated her soul power, and a wisp of pale golden blood slowly dripped from her fingertip onto the gem.

In an instant, the longsword emitted a soft hum and shone brightly.

Qian Daoliu smiled; he had been waiting for this moment for who knows how long, and now it was finally about to come true.

Like the Sea God's test, as the High Priest of the Angel God, he also needs to sacrifice his own energy to initiate the ritual of the Nine Tests.

However, before he could stand on the altar, the light of the longsword suddenly expanded to its maximum, and then scattered into points of light like bubbles.

"What happened? How could this be!" Qian Daoliu was shocked. The divine test had clearly started, so why did it suddenly stop?

Qian Renxue also opened her eyes at this moment, looking equally bewildered. If it had been a failure, she shouldn't be alive now.

Just then, the golden light falling from the sky coalesced into a line before their eyes.

[The Angel God's Ninth Trial: Lead the Spirit Hall to unify the Douluo Continent and rebuild the angelic faith to successfully inherit the Angel Godhood.]

"This, this..." Qian Daoliu's eyes widened, unable to believe his eyes.

What exactly happened to Grandpa?

"I...I don't know either." Qian Daoliu shook his head.

Judging from the content, this seems to be good news. Qian Renxue no longer needs to risk her life to inherit the spirit, but only needs to lead the Spirit Hall to sweep across the continent. Even his sacrifice is exempted.

But he still felt that something was wrong. Could it be that the ancestors were protecting him and letting the Qian family off the hook?

Chapter 291 Destiny

It is the mandate of heaven.

This is the only explanation that Sendoryu could come up with.

Compared to the arduous trials of sacrificing one's own life and undergoing a transformation into a divine body to become a god, the external condition of unifying the continent is simply a windfall.

Not only was his granddaughter in no danger, but he also witnessed her unification of the continent and her ascension to godhood. If this is not a sign of divine favor or heavenly blessing, what other explanation is there?

Surely our ancestors didn't want to see rivers of blood?

With the current resources of their Spirit Hall, four peerless Douluo-level beings, almost all of whom are at the level of demigods, even if Tang Chen were to come again, he would have to break his legs before he could leave Spirit City.

Sweeping across the mainland would be a piece of cake!

Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu felt great. Although he was unable to witness the birth of the Angel God today, he was not disappointed at all, but rather felt fortunate.

"Xiaoxue, it must be the spirit of our ancestors appearing!" Qian Daoliu said excitedly.

Qian Renxue quickly figured out the situation; it seemed she had obtained a shortcut to godhood without any danger.

She can be with the one she loves for all eternity.

“Grandpa, since that’s the case, we must speed up the restart of the previous plan. Fortunately, all those arrangements are still in place.” Although Qian Renxue was also very excited, she quickly calmed down. After all, this was a war that affected the entire continent. Although they had the upper hand, they still could not let their guard down.

She had a feeling that the sudden change in her divine test was probably not accidental, and that the test might not be as simple as they seemed on the surface.

“That’s right, we should definitely discuss this properly.” Qian Daoliu was not a rash or impulsive person.

The Douluo Continent is so vast that it is by no means easy to completely unify it.

Their Spirit Hall's infiltration plan into the continent began twenty years ago under Bibi Dong's leadership, and the Heaven Dou Empire's plan to seize the country was only one step away from completion.

But he felt absolutely no regret. If his granddaughter hadn't gone to the Heavenly Dou Empire to carry out the plan, how could she have snagged such a good grandson-in-law? If she hadn't left at that time, she probably wouldn't even be undergoing the Angel God Trial now.

All I can say is that everything happens for a reason.

"Let's go." Qian Daoliu casually waved his hand, and the vortex passage reappeared. The two left the inheritance space and returned to the Douluo Palace.

"Everyone, assemble at the Elder Hall immediately. I have an important announcement to make."

Since it concerned his granddaughter's plan to become a god, Qian Daoliu, being an impatient man, immediately unleashed his full angelic power and used his divine sense to transmit his message to all the titled Douluo in Wuhun City.

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's urgent and serious telepathic message, none of the titled elders dared to be negligent.

Bibi Dong immediately stood up and frowned, feeling worried. Could it be that Qian Renxue had failed the divine test?

Lu Mingfei immediately snapped out of his deep meditation. He thought something had happened to Qian Renxue, and as soon as Qian Daoliu finished speaking, he rushed to the Douluo Palace on the mountain without a second thought.

When he arrived at the location, he saw that Qian Renxue was safe and sound, and her aura was even stronger than before, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's hurried and flustered appearance, Qian Daoliu was even more satisfied with him.

"Mingfei, you're here." Qian Renxue also showed a shy smile, and quickly went to greet him, taking Lu Mingfei's arm.

"It's good that you're alright." Only then did Lu Mingfei realize that he might have been a bit out of line. This was the Douluo Palace, and it was indeed too rash of him to barge in like this.

"Alright, let's go together, don't keep everyone waiting." Although Qian Daoliu was happy that his granddaughter had found the right person, he couldn't stand their mushy behavior, so he waved for the two of them to follow.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head sheepishly, exchanged a smile with Qian Renxue, and quickly followed.

When they entered the Elder Hall, all the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall had already gathered there.

As titled elders, except for a very few who occasionally go out on missions, they all usually reside in the Papal Palace for cultivation and seclusion.

Since their boss sounded so anxious today, no one dared to be negligent.
