Chapter 10 Renxue's Past
Chapter 10 Renxue's Past
"Is there any news about Tang Hao?" Qian Daoliu turned around and faced the tall angel statue again, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.
"No, Big Brother." The Golden Crocodile Douluo, dressed in a golden robe, shook his head, his tone suppressing a hint of anger.
"That kid vanished into thin air after killing Ji'er. Our Spirit Hall has spies all over the continent, but we haven't been able to catch a glimpse of him."
"Even after we drove the Haotian Sect back to their ancestral lands and forced them to close their gates, that little brat still hasn't shown his face. Could he have already fled overseas?"
Qian Daoliu sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, "When news of Ji'er's death came back, I personally went to the scene of the incident to search, but found nothing. To be able to keep it from me so completely, there must be something behind it..."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be...?"
Qian Daoliu nodded solemnly, a shadow flashing in his eyes.
"If it weren't for divine intervention, with Tang Hao's strength as a newly promoted Title Douluo, even if he used Tang Chen's exploding ring technique, he would never have been able to kill Ji'er, whose martial soul quality far surpassed his own..."
He then waved his hand dismissively: "Let's not mention this matter again. Send orders to the Spirit Halls in various regions: there's no need for a large-scale search. If they find any trace of him, don't act rashly; just report it promptly."
Ye Chenxing, who was "invisible" standing aside, was actually very clear about the situation.
In the original timeline, Tang Hao, having just entered the title realm, defeated Qian Xunji, whose martial soul quality and soul power level were both superior to his own. This must have been due to the machinations of the Asura God.
However, because Tang Hao was a junior of Tang Chen, and Qian Xunji was killed by Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu did not realize that Tang Hao was not just divinely aided, but truly blessed.
The fact that the Asura God met his end shows that this "modified Douluo" was also placed under the influence of Tang Buddha.
Just then, the scene before my eyes rippled like water.
When her vision cleared again, Ye Chenxing found herself in a spacious bedroom.
The architectural style here continues the grandeur and magnificence of the Spirit Hall. Exquisite murals of angels are painted on the towering dome, and the surrounding walls are inlaid with pale gold patterns that gleam with a cold metallic luster under the moonlight.
A room of this size would be considered the highest level of treatment even in the most prestigious royal families on the mainland.
In contrast to the lavish decor, the room was sparsely furnished, containing only a few essential items and a bookshelf crammed full.
However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that this is a girl's room.
The room's occupant was curled up in a large quilt, her small body twitching.
Even in her sleep, tears streamed down the girl's face, her small hands gripped the blanket tightly, and she murmured incoherently:
"Dad...Mom...don't go, Xue'er will work hard to cultivate..."
Hearing this heartbreaking rambling in his sleep, Ye Chenxing couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Originally, these names were just symbols on the pages of a book to him, so-called "paper characters".
But looking at the girl's trembling shoulders in bed, and the tear tracks sliding down her cheeks, she gradually came to life in Ye Chenxing's heart.
This is not a book; it is a living, breathing person.
As if sensing Ye Chenxing's reluctance, a series of scenes flashed before Ye Chenxing's eyes, like a scene on fast forward.
He witnessed Qian Renxue's martial soul awakening, which can be described as the most valuable in the Douluo Continent.
Six-year-old Qian Renxue stood beneath the angel statue, the golden holy light almost setting the entire hall ablaze. The divinely bestowed soul power of the innate level 20 caused even the usually composed Qian Daoliu to lose his composure, his eyes even reddening as he laughed heartily at the sky.
He also learned that in this world, Bibi Dong did not have the complicated love-hate relationship with Yu Xiaogang.
Her tragedy stemmed solely from a betrayal by her mentor, whom she respected as a father, who forcibly took her away.
The despair in her eyes was like a stagnant pool, devoid of love and hate. When a person loses these two emotions, she can only face one ending.
In that deep-seated despair, she gave birth to Qian Renxue, and then, like a withered flower, died in the Holy Maiden Temple.
Qian Renxue grew up day by day in this environment.
Without her grudge against Bibi Dong, she wouldn't have done something as outrageous as being sent to the Heaven Dou Empire to play an infiltration game, as depicted in the original story.
In that magnificent yet desolate hall, her life consisted of nothing but cultivation.
As the divine test drew closer to its end, Qian Renxue finally learned a cruel reality: even if she became a god, she could not bring her deceased parents back to life.
At that moment, the girl who had always tried so hard to be sensible changed. She no longer acted spoiled towards her grandfather like she did when she was little, and she no longer expressed her emotions proactively.
Qian Daoliu saw it all, but said nothing, simply assisting her in silence.
At the same time, Ye Chenxing also saw the dynamics on the other side of the continent.
In this timeline, Tang Hao had already lost all his cultivation and become a cripple due to forcibly enduring too much Asura divine power. This is why he could directly kill Qian Xunji.
Before Tang San was six years old, everything was as it should have been in the original timeline.
Even without his cultivation, Tang Hao, the biological father, showed no interest in blacksmithing to earn money to support his children and improve their lives. Our future God King's childhood was still incredibly difficult.
When Tang San was six years old, he still chose to become Yu Xiaogang's apprentice. The difference was that this time, he truly chose that ten-year-old solitary bamboo.
Although he acquired the Blue Silver Pole Vault, which was more practical than Blue Silver Entanglement, as a soul skill, his unstable foundation and weak soul power forced Tang San to use the Clear Sky Hammer earlier and more frequently to save his life.
The price he paid was not only a limited future, but more fatally, he came into the sights of the Spirit Hall much earlier.
Unfortunately, this pope is not the love-struck fool who had a complicated relationship with his teacher.
Instead, it was Qian Daoliu, who lost his son in his later years, harbored a deep hatred for Tang Hao, and completely controlled everything in the Spirit Hall.
The Asura God was wrong because this world gave Tang Hao too much of a cheat code, which not only led to Qian Xunji's death but also caused him to be impeached by the God Realm Committee, preventing him from interfering with the lower realms at will.
After confirming that the other party had no divine assistance, Qian Daoliu personally took action and completely eliminated the father and son.
Time has moved on once again.
Because of Pope Qian Daoliu's low-key style, the Spirit Hall had been quiet on the continent for a long time, which even aroused the restlessness of the two great empires and the three upper sects.
Until that day, the doors of the offering hall slowly opened.
A breathtakingly beautiful woman emerged from the shadows. She wore a gleaming gold papal robe, and two tear streaks, not yet completely dry, clung to her exquisite face.
No one knew what she had lost, but the whole world understood the moment they felt that divine pressure:
The new Pope of the Spirit Hall is a god.
What happened next shocked and impressed Ye Chenxing.
Qian Renxue completely abandoned her personal feelings, spent her entire life in the Hall of Worship and never came into contact with the outside world. She still retained her childlike heart and unified the entire Douluo Star with her divine body.
She wiped out all the evil soul masters on Douluo Star and suppressed the Sea God's inheritance site, which had once attempted to interfere with the divine examination.
For a century, she devoted herself to the people, without any ulterior motives, driven only by pure kindness and the responsibility of being an angel. Thus, she became the center of faith for all people.
With the immense power of faith and the help of the plane's master, he successfully reached the realm of half-step god-king and ascended to the divine realm.
From the little flower crying in the quilt to the blazing sun that finally shines on all things.
