Chapter 688: The Sea God and the Angel God: The Last Words of Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu

Douluo Continent, Sea God Island.

Lv Lingqi, dressed in the azure Sea God Divine Set, stood inside the Sea God Hall.

Her Sea God Divine Set was completely different from the one belonging to Tang San in the original story; it was a lightweight female armor, and that fitted armor and battle skirt brought out her heroic and spirited bearing to the fullest.

Two martial souls: in her right hand, the Feilian Halberd, with six black, two red, one platinum, and one blue-gold Spirit Ring; on her left, the Viking Giant, with eight red and one dark-gold.

After all of them had their age increased by fifty thousand years, although she did not have as many red rings as the Tang San of the original story, she possessed a full three golden Spirit Rings—two million-year Spirit Rings plus one Sea God Divine Ring—which was even more magnificent than Feihuang's.

"Senior, thank you!" Lv Lingqi said, looking at the remnant soul before her.

That remnant soul was none other than Bo Saixi; her Sacrifice had opened the door of inheritance for Lv Lingqi, but because Lingqi's cultivation and spiritual power were both stronger than Tang San's, Bo Saixi did not disappear immediately after completing the God Position inheritance.

Bo Saixi shook her head, "It is fine. I have waited for this day for a long time. Actually, I know that Tang Chen is already dead, and I have long wanted to go and accompany him."

"Tang Chen... was killed by my husband." Lingqi did not intend to hide it; unlike those with dark hearts like Xun Yu and Feihuang, she was open and forthright, and as long as it was not information that Feihuang had ordered not to be leaked, there was nothing she could not speak of to others.

"I know this as well." Bo Saixi smiled gently, "That earth-shattering battle that day, even though I was far away on Sea God Island, I still felt a little of it. Lingqi, I do not blame your husband, and even less do I blame you. Battles on the battlefield have nothing to do with hatred, only differences in stance; this I naturally understand. Moreover, in my heart, what is more important than myself is Tang Chen, but what is more important than Tang Chen is the Sea God! I am the High Priest of Sea God Island; on my scales, I do not allow anything to outweigh Sea God Island and the Sea God inheritance. This is also one of the reasons why, even though I have missed Tang Chen so much all these years, I never thought of going out to find him."

"Besides, I will be able to see him very soon, won't I?"

"Senior..."

Lingqi had just wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Bo Saixi, "Lingqi, the new Sea God, you have more important things to do now. Douluo Continent has been divided for over ten thousand years; it has finally achieved unification and is currently in a time of prosperity. You should now go to defend your country and protect this hard-won peace. This is the responsibility of a god."

She could already feel that, besides the Sea God, three other gods had descended upon the continent.

Disaster was stirring, about to descend upon Douluo Continent.

Lv Lingqi nodded, "Yes, Senior. I will certainly use the power of a god to protect my country and the continent well."

Having said that, she flew straight out of the Sea God Hall and transmitted her voice to the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo, "All of Sea God Island, hear my order: follow me to war!"

"Yes, we obey the order of the Sea God!" The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo knelt in unison to receive the command.

At the same time, inside the Offering Hall of the Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue, dressed in the golden sacred battle armor of the Angel Divine Set, also looked with tear-filled eyes at her grandfather, who was about to dissipate.

"Why... why didn't you tell me, Grandfather? My becoming a god required your Sacrifice." Qian Daoliu smiled slightly, "Hehe, silly child, if I had told you earlier, would you have been willing to become a god? Do you know how long Grandfather has been looking forward to this day? You becoming the new Angel God—there is nothing that makes Grandfather more gratified than this."

Qian Renxue cried out, "But Grandfather... why must I lose you? I could have waited. Perhaps Feihuang would have a way to help me become a god while keeping you safe."

"Because there is no time left, Xue'er. You must now go to battle as the Angel God!" Qian Daoliu said sternly, "I can feel that she has also become a god, and she is coming soon."

"In the past, our Qian Family and she each had our merits and faults. We adopted her and educated her, yet she chose to betray us; that was her fault. Even if we killed her, she would not be worth pitying. However, although we could take her life and cripple her cultivation, because those were things we gave her, things belonging to the Spirit Hall, it was only right for us to take them back since she chose to betray us. But there is one point: her purity always belonged to herself. What Xunji forcibly took was something that did not belong to our Qian Family. Therefore, for all these years, Grandfather has always felt that I owed her something, and I have been overly indulgent in my dealings with her, hoping to gradually appease her Anger."

"Now it seems that Grandfather was wrong. Her Anger has not dissipated, but has instead increased day by day. My tolerance only made her actions more insane. If it were in the past, Grandfather might still have chosen to do nothing, but now, this chaotic continent has already been unified. Although it was not a unification completed by our Spirit Hall, a loss is a loss. Nan Tianchen has worked diligently for the country over this past year, implementing benevolent policies, enforcing strict laws, developing technology, and valuing education; he can be called a wise monarch of his generation. Since he can bring a good life to the people, we must absolutely not let the continent fall into chaos again."

"Is Grandfather asking me to stop her?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Not to stop her, but to kill her, or at the very least, cripple her. Only in this way can the continent achieve true peace. Xue'er, the Angel God is a god of justice. It is said that the vastness of heaven and earth is filled with righteous energy that lasts forever! If you cripple her, it is actually saving her, sparing her from committing even greater wrongs. If you kill her, then even if her aggrieved soul meets me in Hell, I am willing to suffer her torture for eternity to atone for Xunji's fault. However, the faults of our Qian Family must not be paid for by the common people."

"Xue'er, you are now the new Angel God, and your status is far above mine as an Offering. Therefore, I can no longer issue orders in the name of the Great Elder; I can only implore you as your grandfather: use the power of the Angel God to put an end to this karmic debt. Remember Grandfather's last words: only by having a clear conscience can you live up to the name of a god—"

Qian Daoliu's voice slowly dissipated along with his soul.

"Respectfully send off the Great Elder!" Inside the Offering Hall, the other five Great Offerings knelt in unison to bid him farewell, honoring Qian Daoliu's noble righteousness.

Qian Renxue was still immersed in her grandfather's final instructions, "A clear conscience, live up to the name of a god... a clear conscience, live up to the name of a god..."

After reciting it silently several times, her gaze gradually became firm.

"Grandfather, I understand. I, Qian Renxue, have a clear conscience toward her. If she wants to bring war back to the continent that has regained peace, I will surely slash her down with the Angel Divine Sword." Qian Renxue turned around and looked at the five Offerings behind her, "All of the Spirit Hall, hear my order: follow me to war!"

"Yes, we obey the order of the Angel God!" The five Offerings also knelt to receive the command.

Qian Renxue and Lv Lingqi had both brought their strongest forces without prior agreement.

Because they could feel that their opponents this time were likely not just gods, but countless enormous forces of Evil.

On the plains closest to Gu Lei Imperial City, a vast, black, endless army was sweeping toward Gu Lei Imperial City like a tidal wave.
