In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Qiandao Liu flew out of Heaven Dou City with Qian Renxue.
At that moment, the two of them looked toward the west of Heaven Dou City and saw a figure also leaving the city, heading north at an extreme speed.
"Grandfather, that's Dugu Feng. He must be heading to Slaughter City. Do you think he can obtain the Asura God's inheritance?" Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes flickered.
It was such a coincidence that Dugu Feng happened to leave the city at this exact time, stirring a strange feeling in Qian Renxue's heart.
Qiandao Liu's expression remained calm. "The Asura God is a deity even more powerful than the Angel God. The process of selecting a successor is cruel and ruthless. Even if he obtains the Godhood inheritance, it may not necessarily be a good thing for him!"
Qian Renxue felt both enlightened and worried.
She suddenly recalled what Dugu Feng had said about Negative Gods. Since there were Negative Gods, there must also be Righteous Gods.
The Rakshasa God and the Asura God didn't seem to treat their successors very well.
But the Sea God was different. What about the Angel God?
As if guessing her thoughts, Qiandao Liu said directly, "The Angel God is the greatest deity, mastering the Essence of Light and Sun, and is filled with love for all subjects. How could other deities compare?"
Qian Renxue's eyes brightened, strengthening her resolve to obtain the Angel God's inheritance.
If Bibi Dong can do it, if Dugu Feng can do it, then I certainly can too.
The two set off again and soon returned to Spirit City.
They landed directly on the summit of Pope Mountain, in front of the Douluo Hall.
Before them stood a statue over ten meters tall, entirely brilliant gold, with three pairs of wings on its back and a massive Golden Holy Sword tightly gripped in its hands, pointing toward the heavens.
Qian Renxue had played here with her grandfather as a child and was all too familiar with this place.
What left the deepest impression on her was the Golden Holy Sword in the statue's hands. The sword seemed to be composed of energy, surrounded by a circle of dazzling golden flames that appeared blindingly bright.
Now that she was a Titled Douluo, she still couldn't discern the material of this Golden Holy Sword, only feeling that it looked even more sacred.
Qiandao Liu gazed at the Angel Statue with reverence. "Xue'er, are you ready?"
"I'm ready!" Qian Renxue replied.
Qiandao Liu glanced at his granddaughter's determined and stubborn eyes, sighing inwardly, hoping she wouldn't be too disappointed later.
He activated his Martial Soul Avatar, his body becoming similar to the Angel Statue, with Golden Soul Power manifesting around him.
This Golden Soul Power flowed through his right hand as he pointed toward the statue.
In an instant, the entire statue began to shimmer with flowing light and color, its golden radiance illuminating the entire plaza brightly.
Especially the Golden Holy Sword, which suddenly emitted flames of light over ten feet long, filled with an indescribably sacred aura.
Then, the flames of light descended, falling from over ten meters high to envelop Qian Renxue, as if brewing something.
Qiandao Liu stood to the side, watching Qian Renxue intently. The next moment would witness a miracle.
Would a miracle truly appear?
Would there be nine light screens or eight?
After watching for a while, he simply closed his eyes.
Only when everything calmed down and Qian Renxue called out "Grandfather" did he open them again.
Before his granddaughter, nine golden light screens appeared in perfect order.
Qiandao Liu immediately lost his composure, his pupils sharply contracting as he said in disbelief, "Xue'er, I am so proud of you. The one our Qian family has been waiting for is truly you!"
Qian Renxue was stunned at first, then understood her grandfather's meaning. "Grandfather, have I been recognized by the Angel God? Didn't you say that obtaining a Godhood Inheritance is extremely difficult?"
She had originally thought she would have to undergo extraordinary trials, but she never expected that after just a flash of golden light, nine light screens appeared, and she had already obtained the Godhood Inheritance.
Qiandao Liu was speechless; this was practically a slap in the face.
He coughed and said with immense regret, "It's my fault. I should have let you try long ago. After learning that Bibi Dong had obtained a God Test, I never imagined that the successor of the Angel God would be you, Xue'er. Even when I heard that Tang San and the others had gone to Poseidon Island, I still didn't think of letting you receive the inheritance. I have failed as a grandfather, not realizing that the Godhood successor was right before my eyes. Xue'er, I am sorry. If I had let you come to receive the inheritance earlier, you might have already become a god by now!"
Qiandao Liu was filled with such regret that it felt like a knife to his heart. The more he thought about it, the more it pained him, and he wished he could slap himself twice.
Qian Renxue was also speechless. This was her grandfather, her closest relative—she couldn't blame him. But... but the Godhood Inheritance of her own family had been right within reach, yet she had suffered for so long and wasted so much time. She could only console him helplessly, "Grandfather, it's not too late now. I will work hard and pass the trials as quickly as possible!"
Tears welled in Qiandao Liu's eyes as he said solemnly, "Xue'er, you will now face the nine trials of the Angel God. I will stay by your side until you complete all the trials and inherit the Godhood!"
At this point, words were unnecessary. The most crucial thing was to ensure his granddaughter successfully became a god. He believed that the Angel God Trials were different from those of the Rakshasa God and the Asura God—they would surely allow his granddaughter to cultivate to Level Ninety-Nine as quickly as possible.
After enduring countless hardships, Qian Renxue finally initiated the Angel God Trials when she reached the ninety-third level as a Titled Douluo.
The first to sense such a commotion was Bibi Dong.
After returning from Heaven Dou City, Bibi Dong immediately went back to the Rakshasa Secret Realm to undergo the Eighth Trial. The Eighth Trial, comprehending the Rakshasa Heart, was the final hurdle to inheriting the Rakshasa God Position. Bibi Dong was eager to break through.
She had already made up her mind: even if the sky fell, she would not leave the Pope Palace until she completed the God Test and became a god. Now that she was a Dual Spirit Titled Douluo, she could no longer afford to waste time.
Just two days into her cultivation, she sensed the commotion in front of the Douluo Hall and was instantly startled awake. With a slight perception, she realized that Qian Renxue had obtained the Angel Godhood Inheritance.
"Hahaha, Qiandao Liu, you are truly foolish to only let Qian Renxue inherit the Godhood now. You are such a competent High Priest. If this had happened three years ago, I might have been worried, but now? I am on the verge of becoming a god. What can she do even if she has initiated the God Test? No one can stop me now. I will surely become the Rakshasa God. I will destroy everything! Your Qian family will also be completely annihilated!"
Bibi Dong's sharp voice echoed endlessly within the Rakshasa Secret Realm.
Her eyes and fair skin were completely flushed with blood due to her heightened emotions, turning a vivid crimson.
Clearly, Qiandao Liu's foolishness had stirred Bibi Dong's emotions to a peak.
"Xue'er, I know you've always wanted to surpass me, to reclaim the position of Pope. Unfortunately, that day will never come!"
Bibi Dong sneered coldly before falling back into silence.
She would become a God, she would control everything!
