Soon,
Ye Qiu and Qian Renxue arrived at the back hall where Qian Daoliu was.
As before,
Ye Qiu could sense the angel's gaze emanating from the statue.
Perhaps the angel god's divine will resided within, but Ye Qiu didn't understand why she kept staring at him.
This time,
what puzzled Ye Qiu was that even Qian Daoliu was staring at him intently.
Ye Qiu and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance,
both somewhat confused.
"Hehe... Xiaoxue, Ye Qiu, come sit down."
Qian Daoliu realized he was being a bit too serious.
However, this was his ancestor's decree.
He was used to it.
"Grandpa, why are you staring at Ye Qiu?"
Qian Renxue pulled Ye Qiu to sit down and asked him.
Ye Qiu spoke almost simultaneously.
"Grand Elder, is there something you need from me?"
"It's not that I need to see you, but our ancestor wants to talk to you."
Qian Daoliu explained solemnly.
"It?!"
Ye Qiu couldn't help but point a finger at the angel statue behind Qian Daoliu.
*Slap!*
Qian Renxue reacted quickly, slapping Ye Qiu's hand.
"Don't be rude."
"Uh, sorry, I got a little too excited."
Ye Qiu laughed awkwardly, rubbing his hand on his clothes behind his back.
*Buzz!*
Before they could exchange more words
, the tall angel statue behind Qian Daoliu glowed.
Instantly, the golden light on the sacred angel sculpture rapidly gathered at its brow.
A wisp of golden thread flew out from its brow and fell downwards.
Although Qian Renxue didn't know why the Angel God was looking for Ye Qiu,
her expression was extremely devout.
Qian Daoliu was even more devout.
Everyone is always wary of the unknown.
Ye Qiu was no exception.
His Eternal Kaleidoscope opened, trying to understand the golden thread.
But it was in vain.
The silken thread swirled before his eyes for a moment, as if taunting him.
Then, with lightning speed, it pierced into Ye Qiu's brow.
Stunned,
Ye Qiu felt his soul being ripped away.
This feeling was something he had only experienced before when he entered the "All Rivers Run into the Ocean" state in the Blue Silver Forest.
Light and darkness alternated, and
Ye Qiu's soul arrived at a place filled with golden light.
As far as the eye could see, it stretched as far as the eye could see.
It was a golden ocean world, yet it burned with sacred fire.
Whoosh!
Suddenly
, countless golden rays converged before Ye Qiu's eyes, and sacred fire surged.
In less than a few breaths,
a sun appeared before Ye Qiu, a sun unique to this world, filled with sacred aura, scattering holy light.
Before it,
Ye Qiu felt a familiar gaze. After
a moment of
contemplation, Ye Qiu asked, "Are you Xue'er's ancestor, the Angel Goddess?!"
"Xue'er's ancestor? Sort of."
From within the blazing sun came the voice of the Angel Goddess.
She was indeed Qian Daoliu's ancestor. However, she
wasn't considered Qian Renxue's ancestor.
Ye Qiu's expression was strange.
Her voice seemed almost identical to Qian Renxue's, but compared to Qian Renxue's, it was even more sacred and inviolable, and possessed a gentleness refined by time. Furthermore, what did she mean by that? "May I ask, senior, what do you mean by 'considered,'" Ye Qiu asked the Angel God directly. To this, the Angel God didn't answer Ye Qiu, only uttering four characters. "No comment!" Ye Qiu was stunned; he noticed a hint of sadness and mockery in the other's tone.

A moment of silence fell.
After a long pause,
the voice of the Angel God came again, seemingly seeing through Ye Qiu's thoughts.
"Ye Qiu, don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment, still maintaining his reverence, and bowed, saying,
"Replying to Senior, this junior does indeed have some questions that need your help."
"There's no need for such formalities. Just speak frankly."
"Yes."
Ye Qiu nodded.
The strange feeling in his heart wouldn't go away; the Angel God's voice sounded too much like Qian Renxue's.
He had a feeling that he was communicating with Qian Renxue.
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Qiu asked,
"Does Senior know who Xue'er's mother is?"
Seemingly not expecting Ye Qiu to ask such a question,
the Angel God was stunned for a few seconds.
It was still those four helpless characters from before.
"No comment."
"..."
Ye Qiu's lips twitched slightly, and he had no choice but to change his question.
"Senior, you reside in the Hall of Worship year-round, do you perhaps know anything about the current Pope, Bibi Dong?!"
"I know a little."
The Angel God's voice was calm.
"Then, senior, could you tell me what exactly happened to Bibi Dong?!"
Ye Qiu cupped his hands in inquiry.
"I know, but I cannot tell you."
This time, the Angel God's answer was slightly longer, but it was entirely meaningless. Ye Qiu was
both annoyed
and curious. He
wondered if it was just his imagination,
but he could sense a hint of schadenfreude in her voice.
In short,
this Angel God in the sun was rather irritating.
"It seems you're a hypocrite, not as respectful to me as you appear."
The Angel God's calm voice struck Ye Qiu
like a thunderclap!
"Senior can read minds?!"
Ye Qiu stared at her in shock, feeling utterly naked.
"Whatever you think."
This time, the Angel God's mockery was even more undisguised.
Ye Qiu gritted his teeth, took a few deep breaths, and composed himself.
He suppressed a curse in his mind and
continued, "Then, senior, you must know the origins of those evil spirit masters, right? Xue'er said they came through the passage you left behind."
"Heh, getting impatient, huh?"
The Angel God chuckled. This guy wasn't as cold and indifferent as he used to be.
Before Ye Qiu could speak,
the Angel God became serious.
"I do know the answer to that question. Rather than saying they came through the passage, it's more accurate to say they came by tracking my coordinates."
"And their origins are related to the previous Rakshasa God. Their rise to power was inseparable from his support."
Hearing the Angel God's explanation, Ye Qiu was completely bewildered.
How did the Rakshasa God get involved?
The Angel God had no intention of explaining further.
It could only be said that,
in a sense, she
had been betrayed by her best friend.
If the Rakshasa God hadn't acted rashly and misjudged the person during the succession of the divine position,
leading to the other party's rebellious nature,
she wouldn't have ended up like this.
She still had to rely on that bastard God of Asura to clean up her mess and cover her retreat.
"What?"
"You're just a Soul Master now, do you suddenly have the resolve to rid the continent of evil?"
The Angel God's words were tinged with curiosity.
Ye Qiu shook his head.
"Revenge the continent from evil, it's just that they and I are definitely enemies."
"Heh, surprisingly honest."
