In the illusory golden space, white feathers drifted and danced. Gentle singing seemed to penetrate everything, echoing softly.
When she opened her eyes, Ye Guyi was bewildered, staring in astonishment at everything before her. "Where is this?"
"You're awake."
Suddenly, a soft voice called out. Ye Guyi looked over and saw a woman in broken armor slowly walking out of the golden light and coming before her.
This woman was exceedingly beautiful, with skin whiter than snow, a straight nose bridge, and slightly slender phoenix eyes. More importantly, looking at her, Ye Guyi inexplicably felt a burning sensation in her blood, as if something had been stimulated.
"Who are you?" Ye Guyi asked, puzzled.
"My name is Qian Renxue." The woman's voice was clear and transparent. Although it was pleasant to hear, it was like thunder in Ye Guyi's ears, and she was stunned, her heart surging with a massive wave.
Qian Renxue?
That name might be incredibly distant to the people of the current Douluo Continent, but it was different for her.
Qian Renxue, the Angel God from ten thousand years ago, was also the sole descendant of the Six-Winged Angel family. However, she lost to Tang San, Sea God, in the subsequent God war and ultimately perished.
Her ancestor, Ye Guyi, belonged to the Holy Angel lineage, which was also part of the Angel family. Although not of the same lineage as Qian Renxue, their relationship was very close, similar to royalty and the royal family. However, with the Martial Soul Hall being purged by the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, the Angel family had long since declined, with many dying and others fleeing.
Nowadays on the Douluo Continent, anyone related to the Angel Martial Soul was almost certainly a family member who had escaped back then.
"This is impossible. My ancestor was a figure from ten thousand years ago; how could she still exist?" Ye Guyi couldn't believe it, but looking at this special space, she had a different kind of guess in her heart.
Hearing this, a trace of melancholy appeared on Qian Renxue's beautiful face. "Has it already been ten thousand years? Time really flies by."
"It's also harmed you all."
Ye Guyi was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Qian Renxue sighed, "Back then, I paid the price of shattering my godhood to protect my mother, but in the end, everything was still beyond saving. Even after my godhood shattered, my lifespan remained for ten thousand years, and my strength was still at the level of a ninety-nine-level peerless Douluo. Afterward, I protected the descendants of the other branches of the Angel Family and let them escape. When everyone was gone, I had nothing left to live for. I had neither family nor friends."
"But at the last moment, when I was about to destroy my body and reincarnate my soul, I remembered my grandfather's instructions. He hoped that I would revitalize the glory of the Angel Family, but... I disappointed him."
Mentioning her grandfather, Qian Renxue's tone immediately became desolate.
"At the final moment, I wanted to do one thing to make up for my mistakes, which was to repair the Angel God position. But I was no longer qualified to become the Angel God, so I could only entrust it to future generations. Therefore, I chose to destroy my body, combining my soul with the shattered godhood, and found an Angel descendant who had escaped from Martial Soul City. And this is the Holy Angel lineage."
Hearing this, Ye Guyi's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Heh." Qian Renxue laughed at herself, then sighed, "I protected several branches of the Angel Family from escaping, which caused dissatisfaction from both the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Star Luo Royal Family. After all, with me, their leader, around, who knows if the future wouldn't be like a wildfire that can't be extinguished, and will revive with the spring wind? My existence, along with the other branches of the Angel Family, was ultimately a threat."
"But they didn't cause any more trouble later because I chose to die voluntarily."
Qian Renxue sighed, "I let all the Angel Family members go, which had already made the two great empires wary. Even though I was no longer a god, who knew if this useless god could do something before dying? So I pretended to destroy my body and hid in your ancestor's body."
"Witnessed by the powerhouses of the two great empires, my body turned into nothingness and completely disappeared. The Angel Family no longer had a leader, and the threat was diminished. I thought this trick, shedding the golden cicada shell, would work, but I didn't expect to be targeted."
"Is it Tang San?" Ye Guyi asked with a solemn voice.
"I don't know who it is either." Qian Renxue shook her head. "But I suspect it was the first Sea God, Poseidon."
Ye Guyi was startled; this name was unfamiliar to her.
Qian Renxue said with a blank expression, "Back then, my Martial Soul Hall attacked Sea God Island. With the Martial Soul Hall's demise, those people on Sea God Island didn't let go of the chance to pursue. Many Sea Soul Masters traveled thousands of miles to the mainland, and some Angel Family members who fled died at their hands."
"Although I hid in your ancestor's body, which concealed me from the two empires, the fact that I destroyed myself was spread. Hidden dangers were buried. As days passed, the Martial Soul Hall became history. Tang San and his companions ascended to the God Realm, and I began to prepare for the plan to repair my divine position."
"I spent a hundred years constantly thinking and experimenting on how to repair my divine position, and finally found a way."
Ye Guyi's breathing quickened.
Qian Renxue said helplessly, "There is a way, but the difficulty of completing it is unimaginable. Not only does it take a long time, but the repair process also requires the irrigation of Solar Power. However, to cause the appearance of the solar origin, at least the Angel Soul Master I'm possessing needs to reach Super Douluo level."
"Over the years, I've possessed quite a few people, and some of them were even Super Douluos. But every time I secretly use Solar Power to repair my godhood, a group of people would come and disturb me."
"The Sea God Family!" Ye Guyi blurted out.
Qian Renxue glanced at her and finally nodded, "Yes, it's the Sea God Family. They somehow know how to lock onto my divine soul's aura. Whenever I try to absorb Solar Power with all my might to repair my godhood, they always appear at the perfect moment to attack."
Ye Guyi's heart suddenly lurched, and she questioned, "So they came to attack my parents? Because you were absorbing Solar Power?"
Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with apology, "Yes. I was originally hiding in your father's body. After he died, I came to your body. There are many descendants of the Holy Angel lineage, but now, only you remain who has awakened the Holy Angel Martial Soul."
Ye Guyi was listless and stunned. Starting from ten thousand years ago, every generation of family powerhouses who reached level ninety-five would be attacked not long after. There was even a legend of a curse within the family, saying that angels could no longer advance to Super Douluo, otherwise they would be cursed.
So the curse didn't exist, and everything was because of this? At this moment, Ye Guyi suddenly realized why Qian Renxue had said, "I harmed you all."
Rage gathered in her chest. Ten thousand years! How many ancestors had fallen because of it? Her parents, too… Ye Guyi desperately wanted to question Qian Renxue before her, but the words caught in her throat.
Her expression shifted from icy cold to complex.
The once-glorious Holy Angel family had enjoyed the benefits brought by the Six-Winged Angel family. When the Six-Winged Angel family perished, Qian Renxue had allowed their branch families to live, suffering almost no damage.
Did she resent it? Yes, she did. But you had to admit, resentment was useless. If Qian Renxue hadn't helped them back then, not a single Angel family member would have survived.
"I'm sorry." Qian Renxue knew how difficult this was for Ye Guyi, and her tone was extremely sincere.
Ye Guyi suddenly chuckled a few times, then sat weakly on the ground, tears streaming down her beautiful eyes.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue sighed. "After ten thousand years, I still haven't managed to repair my godhood despite countless assassination attempts. My progress is still terrifyingly slow. I had originally planned to give up completely here, after all, I have already hurt many descendants. It wasn't until I encountered the young man who fought you that I stopped the idea of completely disappearing."
Hearing this, Ye Guyi wiped away her tears, her eyes red as she stared up and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
Qian Renxue said in a low voice, "That young man named Huo Yuhao has a familiar aura of Solar Power. It's precisely this aura that made me appear to meet you. I don't know what secrets he's hiding, but I want to gamble one last time, to find an opportunity from him."
"So, I'm here to ask you, are you still willing to continue? If you're not, I'll take the initiative to leave you, and the assassination I arranged won't happen again."
Ye Guyi looked at Qian Renxue deeply. The faces of her parents smiling and bidding her farewell, and the Sea God Family experts filled with murderous intent, flashed in her mind. She couldn't help but clench her jade hands, her tone grim.
"I want revenge."
"Are you sure?" Qian Renxue's expression didn't change, still serious.
"I'm sure." Ye Guyi spread her hands, looking at herself, her voice low and hoarse, "The hatred between the Sea God Family and the Angel Family, let it be settled with me. Either I die, or they die. Anyway, one of us must die before this can end."
"You are much more decisive than me," Qian Renxue sighed inwardly. "Next, try to get in touch with this Huo Yuhao. First, test his opinion of the Sea God, after all, he's from Shrek Academy."
"Mm." Ye Guyi nodded calmly. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "Can you tell me, why did you lose back then?"
Hearing this question, Qian Renxue was obviously stunned. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head with a wry smile. "To be precise, we didn't lose to Tang San, but to the Sea God and Asura God behind him."
After Tang San was killed, he was revived, and then he successfully obtained the Asura God position. All of this was too abnormal.
From the very beginning, the outcome of this battle had already been decided. It was just the schemes of Poseidon and Asura God.
The only sacrifices were two gods unrelated to them.
Ye Guyi's eyes flickered, as if she understood something, but she didn't ask any more questions.
After she continued to accept some instructions from Qian Renxue, she left the space. What she saw was a quiet infirmary, where Jing Ziyan was sitting and cutting fruit.
"Sister Ziyan." Ye Guyi called out.
Hearing the voice, Jing Ziyan stopped what she was doing. After turning her head to look, she was immediately delighted. "Oh, you're finally awake."
Ye Guyi's lips curled into a smile. "Thank you, Sister Ziyan."
Jing Ziyan waved her hand dismissively. "No problem at all. We're sisters, helping each other out is only natural, right?"
Sisters… Ye Guyi's body trembled slightly. After her parents passed away, she was all alone. The word "sister" was precious to her.
"Here, have some fruit." Jing Ziyan happily offered her a piece of peach.
Looking at that gentle expression, Ye Guyi's mind drifted for a moment. Once upon a time, her mother had been the same, holding out delicious treats and smiling at her.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Ye Guyi in a daze, Jing Ziyan waved her hand.
Ye Guyi snapped back to reality, smiled, took the peach, and put it in her mouth to chew.
Hmm, it was sweet.
She was sweet now, and she would make her enemies suffer later.
...
Time rewound, returning to the testing ground.
Looking at Ye Guyi, who was being carried away by Jing Ziyan, Huo Yuhao's gaze immediately fell on a young man standing outside the passageway.
At Jing Hongchen's signal, this young man slowly walked towards the competition stage.
Watching him, the audience area, which had been somewhat noisy because of Ye Guyi's injury, quieted down a bit.
"It really is him who's going on stage."
People began to discuss, which also made the people from Shrek Academy curious.
"This person is very strong; he's definitely the strongest opponent Yuhao has encountered," Qian Duoduo said in a low voice, his eyes flickering.
Hearing this, He Caitou and the others couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
This was already the last match, a crucial moment.
The young man walked onto the stage. He had a cold demeanor, but this coldness wasn't directed at anyone; it was as if he was inherently cold. His eyes were dull, and he walked somewhat slowly.
The only thing that was eye-catching was perhaps his handsome appearance. He looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a slender figure, about the same height as Huo Yuhao. His long black hair was tied back with a hairband, and his face was quite pale, giving off a sense of sickly beauty.
"Ji Juechen." Looking at the fire-stick-like item in the young man's hand, Huo Yuhao's mood also became a bit more excited. If there was anyone he admired the most in Douluo Continent 2: The Unrivaled Tang Sect, it was definitely Ji Juechen.
He was the one who truly embodied the saying that there were no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters.
With innate soul power of level three, he ultimately achieved the rank of Title Douluo and forged his own path of swordsmanship.
Unfortunately, as a supporting character, he didn't have much of a role later on. Not only him, but among this generation of the Shrek Seven Devils, apart from the protagonists, the others were basically just background characters. No wonder everyone said that after the Qiankun Training Dog Valley, the plot had become terrible.
"Ji Juechen." Ji Juechen looked at Huo Yuhao and spoke in a casual tone.
"Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao replied.
After a simple exchange, without even Jing Hongchen urging him, Ji Juechen took the initiative to step back and stood at the side of the arena, his demeanor still slow.
He hadn't planned to sign up for the competition in the first place, but Jing Ziyan had forced him to. Although Huo Yuhao's strength was very strong, he wasn't the opponent he desired, so naturally, he wasn't interested.
"You have to wake up, this is a competition, give me your all." Jing Hongchen, fearing Ji Juechen would slack off, quickly used his soul power to transmit his words.
Ji Juechen seemed not to hear, just stared at Huo Yuhao.
Jing Hongchen's mouth twitched, and he could only suppress his helplessness. Then he said, "The last match of the sparring competition, now begins."
As soon as he spoke, the entire audience was waiting for the result of the last match to decide the winner.
A bizarre scene unfolded. Huo Yuhao inexplicably closed his eyes, but a golden light split and radiated from between his eyebrows, leaving everyone stunned.
What was going on?
Only Ji Juechen's eyes began to change.
When a ray of sunlight shone down from the sky and landed within the testing grounds, a strange scene occurred. Intense, distorted light appeared around Huo Yuhao's body. Although there were no flames rising from him, in everyone's eyes, his entire body was surrounded by fiery golden-red light.
Thick light formed a small-to-medium-sized solar silhouette behind his head, as if a real sun had descended, bringing with it heat, vastness, eternity, vitality, warmth, hope, and destruction – countless concepts converging upon him.
"This is a state of mind. This kid has really forged a path that doesn't belong to Old Mu's, one of supreme dominance," Qian Duoduo said, his face ecstatic.
Jing Hongchen's pupils shrank. Although he couldn't fully comprehend everything happening to Huo Yuhao, the brilliant light emanating from the solar silhouette was filled with a sense of vastness.
Even though he didn't feel any danger, he felt as if he were a leaf drifting on a vast ocean, surrounded by an endless, expansive world, and he was utterly minuscule.
Not only Jing Hongchen, but everyone in the test arena saw the world unchanged, yet their souls simultaneously experienced a flash of understanding.
