(AN: Arc 6 Begins, Enjoy!!!)
Spirit City, Elder's Hall
Several days after the Soul Master Elite Competition was forced to halt, the Seven Worshippers gradually returned to Spirit City.
But the moment they entered the golden hall—
Even the steady gaze of Qian Daoliu shifted as he saw bandages wrapped around arms and torsos.
Their residual soul power fluctuations unstable.
Qian Daoliu's voice echoed calmly through the vast hall.
"It appears you were beaten rather severely."
His eyes swept across them one by one.
"Who possesses such capability?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward. Among them, his injuries were the lightest, yet even his aura bore faint instability.
"Brother," he began, his tone serious, "it was a woman wielding a trident as her Martial Soul."
Qian Daoliu's fingers tightened slightly behind his back as Golden Crocodile continued.
"I believe you know of her brother."
"She is Bo Saixi, the High Priestess of Sea God Island."
The name hung heavily in the air. Qian Daoliu's expression did not change, but the pressure in the hall subtly increased.
"Why did you come into conflict with her?" he asked, his tone turning colder.
Golden Crocodile let out a low chuckle, though there was no humor in it.
"Brother, it was not we who sought her."
"If I had not arrived in time… you might have lost two brothers today."
Mighty Lion Douluo stepped forward, his chest tightly wrapped in bandages. His normally booming voice was slightly hoarse.
"She appeared without warning," he said. "Blocked our path and attacked immediately."
"She claimed we were going against the 'flow of fate.'"
Flowing Feather Douluo—forced a grin despite the stiffness in his movements.
"Nothing too serious, Brother," he said lightly. "Just that the Seven Worshippers might have become five.".
Azure Luan Douluo's expression remained solemn.
"I sensed something beforehand," he said quietly. "like a premonition."
"I contacted Brother Golden Crocodile immediately. Coincidentally, he felt it as well."
Golden Crocodile nodded slowly.
"It was like a warning," he admitted. "A sense that something disastrous was about to occur."
His eyes grew darker.
"If I was not level 99… the casualties would have been real."
"Yet… she withdrew. As if something had happened."
Qian Daoliu's gaze sharpened.
Golden Crocodile frowned slightly.
"Yes. In the midst of battle, her killing intent faltered. It was as though she received some unseen message… or sensed something greater that demanded her attention."
No one spoke for several seconds.
For a figure like Bo Saixi to attack so decisively—then retreat without finishing the battle Something must have disrupted her.
Qian Daoliu slowly walked toward the Angel Statue at the end of the hall to pray.
Sea God Island's High Priestess did not act without reason and as the servant of God nor did she speak of "fate" lightly.
His expression remained composed, yet his mind moved rapidly.
Recently, the continent had been anything but peaceful.
One of the Three Great Clans had been wiped out by what was officially declared a natural disaster—an event so sudden and absolute that the entire soul master world was shocked.
Then came the upheaval within the Star Luo Empire.
The exiled prince—Now bearing the title Duke Blood Tiger—Had launched a decisive coup. The same royal heir once cast out from Star Luo City had returned with overwhelming force, shattering the fragile balance of power within the empire.
And as if that were not enough—rumors had spread from Elemental City. They claimed that the Angel Goddess herself had descended into the mortal world.
That Yu Yuanzhen, patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, had fallen not by mortal hands—but by divine will. It was even said that the destruction of the clan was her doing.
Qian Daoliu did not dismiss rumors lightly, especially not those involving the Angel Goddess. Standing before the golden statue, he felt an unfamiliar sensation.
As though countless threads were weaving together behind the scenes. An invisible hand appeared to be guiding the flow of fate itself.
And that realization unsettled him more than any enemy ever could.He had to know how these events will affect the safety of his remaining family member, his granddaughter.
----
Days earlier, when the group of Super Titled Douluo set out toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, their intention had been clear, to destroy the clan without leaving any evidence.
But midway—They encountered Bo Saixi, the High Priestess of Sea God Island.
She was searching for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, on the Douluo mainland as per the Sea God Oracle.
Yet as if fate intertwined their paths, they came at crossroads. It was done by the Divine Intent of Tang San, the God King from a parallel universe
With the shielding influence over this world weakening, his perception could now grasp some fragments of its destiny, enough to sense deviations and anomalies and understand that a variable had emerged.
So disguising as Sea God he made Bo Saixi who was searching for the divine artefact confront them.
So, while Tang San subtly guided Bo Saixi toward the so-called "reinforcements," Qian Renxue made her move.
As the Goddess of Dreams and Memories, giving something like premonitions through dreams neither distance nor proximity. A faint ripple passed through the spiritual sea of Golden Crocodile Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo and they felt an inexplicable apprehension.
The two of them moved to meet up with the group of Super Douluo.
Then their meet up with the group coincided with when Bo Saixi interrupted their path as if it was a coincidence, that was how it appeared.
(AN: Does the readers get an idea, why Qian Renxue's plan when she was a little crazy would have doomed the continent. If she had not appeared at the opportune moment at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Jiang Mo and Tian Yue might not have survived. And Tian Yue is the beloved granddaughter of Golden Crocodile. What happens when a Level 99 goes on a rampage? Well I won't go into much detail into this What If but it was certain that after the resulting turmoil, the 3 great clans would have disappeared and Spirit Hall along with the 2 empires would have been half crippled)
