The sea breeze gently blew, and clouds surged above Sea God Island.
Tang San gazed at the boundless sea, his eyes shimmering with determination and anticipation.
Beside him, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing were all fully prepared, each face filled with longing for the journey home.
During the more than three years of training on Sea God Island, each of them had made significant progress, especially Tang San.
Tang San's spirit power had already reached level eighty-seven, still the strongest among them.
Bo Saixi stood quietly to the side, her eyes full of reluctance and worry.
She knew that although Tang San had obtained the Sea God Trident, greatly enhancing his strength, the enemy he was about to face—Yan—was a formidable opponent whose flame power could incinerate everything.
"Tang San, I know your heart is with the Douluo Continent, but Yan's flames are extraordinary. Even with the Sea God Trident in hand, I can't help but worry."
"Priest, I understand your concerns. The Star Luo Empire is in an unprecedented crisis. As the empire's crown prince, Dai Mubai is eager to return, and I understand and support him. We must go back and face whatever storms may come."
A trace of gratitude flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes as he stepped forward to stand beside Tang San.
"Priest, please rest assured. We will act cautiously and strive to return as soon as possible to continue the unfinished trials."
Bo Saixi looked at these young spirit masters, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Finally, she nodded gently.
"Go, children. Sea God Island will always be your support. Regardless of the outcome, remember to return promptly."
"Yes, we will."
Subsequently, Tang San and his companions boarded the ship for their journey home.
On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi's figure gradually receded, but her gaze seemed to traverse the vast sea, as if continuously following the ship filled with hope and dreams until it disappeared beyond the blue horizon.
Douluo Hall
Qian Renxue had finally completed the third trial of the Angel God.
Qian Daoliu's face revealed a gratified smile.
"Xue'er, you truly haven't disappointed me. The brilliance of the angel shines even brighter because of you."
Qian Renxue smiled slightly.
"Grandfather, I might have to temporarily pause the divine trials for a while."
"Is it because of the empire's affairs?"
"Yes. The truce between the Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire is about to expire. This time, I not only want to prove my strength but also pave the way for the peaceful unification of the Douluo Continent. The Star Luo Empire is mine for the taking. Any obstacles, including that woman, cannot stop me."
Though Qian Renxue's voice was soft, every word was firm, revealing an unwavering determination.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed with approval.
He knew that only by completing the great task of unifying the Douluo Continent could Qian Renxue wholeheartedly continue participating in the Angel God's trials.
"Xue'er, I have always understood and supported your aspirations. Unifying the Douluo Continent has been the Spirit Hall's long-cherished wish and is also your inescapable responsibility as the Angel's successor. But remember, a true strong person not only conquers but also seeks to achieve the greatest peace at the smallest cost. Go, use your wisdom and strength to write your own legend."
"Yes, Grandfather, I know what to do."
Afterwards, Qian Renxue left Douluo Hall, heading straight for the Spirit City.
She had only one thought in her Spiri to unify Douluo in the name of the angel and bring true peace and prosperity to this continent.
Time passed silently like fine sand.
Yan had already been silently challenging the eighth trial of the Fire God for a month.
The fire being formed by the power of the Fire God attacked swiftly and had an impenetrable defense.
Facing such a powerful opponent, every one of Yan's challenges seemed particularly difficult.
This trial tested not only strength and skill but also willpower and belief.
Even after being knocked down countless times, his body drenched in flames, he never once thought of giving up.
On the contrary, each failure made him more resolute and even more eager for victory.
During this period, Yan's strength had quietly increased. His attacks had become sharper, and his defense had grown sturdier.
Even the fire being's flames, capable of burning mountains, could not easily penetrate the rock shield he had forged.
Yan believed that as long as he kept working hard and challenging himself, one day he would overcome all obstacles and fully master the power of the Fire God.
By then, he would not only be able to pass this trial but also possess the power to change the world.
And all of this would soon become a reality.
This day, Yan came to the palace to meet Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue slowly stepped into the main hall.
In front of Yan, she no longer held the dignity of an empress, but instead appeared like a gentle princess.
Her white dress resembled the arrival of an angel, and her presence seemed to envelop the entire hall with a soft glow.
A year had passed, and when the two met again, they sensed subtle changes in each other.
Yan smiled and said.
"It seems that your Angel God's trial is going smoothly. I wonder how far you've progressed?"
"I've just completed the third trial. What about you?"
"To pass three trials within a year, you really are the perfect candidate for the Angel God. I am currently challenging the eighth trial of the Fire God. To be honest, I've failed more than ten times."
"The eighth trial? That's impressive! Only you could achieve this in such a short time. I believe you'll succeed."
Qian Renxue looked at Yan with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
She was undergoing the Angel God's trial and understood how difficult the divine trials were for soul masters, with the difficulty increasing as one progressed.
Yan asked."Are you prepared to attack the Star Luo Empire?"
Qian Renxue nodded.
"The army has already gathered at the borders, ready to launch an attack at any time. However, I want to achieve peace with the least loss. This time, I will personally lead the charge to conquer the Star Luo Empire and unify Douluo Continent. Will you fight alongside me?"
"Do you even need to ask? After all, the divine trials won't be completed in a day or two."
"That's good. With a war god like you on my side, conquering the Star Luo Empire will be even easier."
"By the way, Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling will also accompany me to the battlefield."
"Really? That's great."
Mentioning those two, a smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face, but a trace of subtle jealousy flickered in her eyes.
Yan continued,"Now, Shui Bing'er has already reached level ninety-three and possesses two hundred-thousand-year soul rings. Her ice attribute will be crucial on the battlefield. Ye Lingling has also reached the Soul Douluo level and has the ability to heal thousands of soldiers. With her around, we can reduce the casualties in our army."
After hearing Yan's description, Qian Renxue was very pleased.
"With them by your side, they're getting stronger and stronger. With two more powerful warriors, the advantage in the final battle will be ours, and we will definitely take the Star Luo Empire!"
