After the contents of the second notebook were displayed up to this point...
...all the pages had been turned.
"It's gone again?"
Realizing that she had finished reading the contents of the second notebook.
Qian Renxue felt a sense of lingering interest.
She wanted to continue reading about what the God Realm would do after learning that the divine official sent to the lower realm to hunt down His Excellency Lin Hanjue had been killed instead.
And how His Excellency Lin Hanjue would break the deadlock.
She hadn't expected the second notebook to end so soon.
At that moment, the back cover of the second notebook suddenly burst with dazzling golden light, forming a map of the Douluo Continent on its surface.
On it, a glittering golden dot was located in the far north.
"This place is... the Extreme North Land?!"
Seeing this, Hu Liena was momentarily stunned.
Wasn't this the most mysterious habitat for Spirit Beasts on the Douluo Continent—the Extreme North Land?!
The third notebook was actually there?
This made Hu Liena look toward her teacher, Bibi Dong, waiting to hear how she planned to obtain this third notebook.
At this time, Bibi Dong's noble and cold face also bore a deep frown, her heart filled with doubt and surprise.
Previously, she would have certainly led people directly to the Extreme North Land to search for the third notebook.
But after reading the second notebook, she realized that the Douluo Continent was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, there had once existed legendary Fate-attribute Spirit Beasts.
Besides that, there were many Great Beasts with cultivation over five hundred thousand years, whose strength might be even greater than a Limit Douluo.
If the Star Dou Great Forest was like that...
...wouldn't the Extreme North Land be the same?
This made Bibi Dong think for a moment before parting her crimson lips to say calmly.
"There's no rush to get this third notebook."
"We'll take the Immortal Herbs from this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well back first."
"Wait!!"
At that moment, Qian Renxue suddenly spoke up, reaching out her hand directly toward Bibi Dong.
"Give me some of the Immortal Herbs too; I'll take them back to Grandpa and the others!"
Faced with Qian Renxue's demand, Bibi Dong was somewhat reluctant. Her brow furrowed as she said coldly.
"I have my own arrangements for the Immortal Herbs of this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"I don't care; you must give me a portion anyway!"
"Otherwise, I won't want to be this Crown Prince Xue Qinghe anymore!"
After reading Lin Hanjue's two notebooks...
...and learning the truth of the World, Qian Renxue no longer wanted to be Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, to plot for the Heaven Dou throne, and to unite the Douluo Continent alongside the Spirit Hall.
Because even if she succeeded, it would only be another Sun Moon Empire.
Unless the God Realm vanished...
...the Douluo Continent would never have a bright future.
For now, Qian Renxue only wanted to find more notebooks and understand what exactly happened back then.
And what arrangements Lin Hanjue had made on the Douluo Continent.
After learning of Lin Hanjue's existence, Qian Renxue was actually very curious.
Back then, when the Divine Ancestor Angel God founded the Spirit Hall and joined forces with the founders of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire to gather the strength of the entire continent to end the era of Evil Soul Masters...
...did they not encounter His Excellency Lin Hanjue?
If they did, why was there no record of it in the family or Spirit Hall's historical archives?
She hadn't expected Qian Renxue to use quitting as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe as a threat.
Bibi Dong was very annoyed, yet she had to yield.
Because in her plan to take revenge on the Spirit Hall, the Qian family, and the World...
...the step where Qian Renxue replaced Xue Qinghe to steal the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire was crucial.
"Here!"
Ultimately, Bibi Dong had no choice but to take out some Immortal Herbs for Qian Renxue to choose from.
Based on the introduction to Immortal Herbs in the first notebook and after asking Chrysanthemum Douluo...
...Qian Renxue chose to store Immortal Herbs and top-grade Spirit medicines like the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot into her storage soul tool.
That night, after having a body double temporarily take her place at the Crown Prince's Mansion...
...she left the Crown Prince's Mansion with Bibi Dong, Xie Yue, Yan, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo to return to Spirit City.
...
Douluo Hall, Angel Sanctuary.
"Xue'er, why have you returned so suddenly?"
Discovering Qian Renxue's sudden return, Qian Daoliu, who was meditating and praying before the statue of the Angel God, couldn't help but feel surprised and delighted.
"Grandpa!"
With a smile on her face, Qian Renxue took out jade boxes containing Immortal Herbs and top-grade Spirit medicines such as the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot, and said...
"I brought some gifts for the various Enshrined Grandpas, and I also have some things I want to ask you, Grandpa."
Afterward, Qian Renxue also told Qian Daoliu about the existence of Lin Hanjue's notebooks.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but be deeply shocked, murmuring...
"I didn't expect the truth of this World to be so cruel!"
"Although it's hard to believe, according to this information, it explains the existence of ancient ruins, the long era of Evil Soul Masters, and why there are no records of previous history despite how long we have existed."
"Gods?"
Qian Daoliu gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"I didn't expect these gods to be so hypocritical and shameless!"
"Now I understand why I have never been able to communicate with the Divine Ancestor."
"Grandpa, as the High Priest of the Angel God, have you never been able to communicate with the Divine Ancestor?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue was shocked.
Qian Daoliu sighed and nodded, his heart heavy as he gave a bitter smile.
"Didn't I travel to Sea God Island with Tang Chen in the past?"
"On Sea God Island, they also worship a Divinity called the Sea God!"
"But as a fellow High Priest, Bo Saixi is able to communicate with the Sea God and occasionally hear divine oracles."
"Yet for all these years, I have never heard a response from the Divine Ancestor, let alone a divine oracle."
"Before, I always thought that perhaps the Divine Ancestor was too busy."
"But now, hearing the information you brought, I've thought of a much more cruel possibility."
"That is, after the Divine Ancestor ascended to the God Realm, because she was unwilling to associate with those hypocritical gods, she might have been harmed by them."
"Because compared to Sea God Island, which fanatically wants the Sea Soul Masters of the endless oceans to believe in the Sea God Poseidon..."
"...our Divine Ancestor, from the moment she became a god, told us not to deliberately spread her faith or make people worship her."
"She hoped that the common people and commoner Spirit Masters would never pin their hopes on others, but instead rely on their own efforts to struggle, strive, and resist."
"Only the people are the main subjects who create history!"
"She didn't want to become a god; she only wanted to be a hero!"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned.
Why do these words feel so similar to those in Lin Hanjue's notebooks?
Could it be...
"Grandpa, didn't I have something I wanted to ask you?"
"Do you know what our Seraphim Qian family was like before the Divine Ancestor was born?"
"Back then, was our family's inherited Spirit still the Seraphim?"
"In His Excellency Lin Hanjue's notebooks, it's recorded that ten thousand years ago in the Sun Moon Empire, there was a Light Angel Family, and their surname was also Qian!"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath and asked first.
