Chapter 5: Grandfather, I've already been researching the opponents in the Divine Realm!
Stepping into the Offering Hall, a bright aura rushed over, instantly calming Qian Renxue's mind and spirit. The hall was spacious and bright, sunlight pouring through the windows onto the floor, forming patches of light.
The walls inside were covered with exquisite murals depicting various myths of angelic descents and religious scenes.
At the front stood a massive angelic statue, solemn and majestic, as if gazing upon the world, evoking a mysterious and sacred feeling.
A huge chandelier hung from the hall's ceiling, inlaid with various gems, radiating brilliant light.
Qian Daoliu stood beneath the massive angelic statue, his expression devout, eyes closed in prayer.
Seeing his grandfather praying, Qian Renxue did not disturb him, standing behind Qian Daoliu and waiting patiently.
After a while, Qian Daoliu's face showed a hint of a smile, and he turned and said.
"What, Xue'er, you can't wait to go hunt for souls?"
Qian Renxue let out a soft hum.
"A hundred-year soul ring is not worthy of me!"
Qian Daoliu frowned: "The matter of soul rings cannot be taken lightly; a thousand-year first ring is still too difficult."
"Our angel lineage has divine protection; the age limit of soul rings can be raised through the Angel God's trial."
"Why must you insist on fighting for that thousand-year first ring?"
"The sun bird your grandfather found for you has noble blood; a hundred years can crush ordinary thousand-year spirit beasts, not inferior to ordinary thousand-year soul rings."
Qian Renxue blinked her eyes cutely.
"Grandfather, do you still remember the whale glue I once mentioned to you?"
"This can strengthen a soul master's physique; please have someone go to the sea to find some for me."
Qian Daoliu immediately understood, letting out a sigh of relief.
"You, this child, originally weren't planning to absorb a thousand-year soul ring right now."
Qian Daoliu had long heard Qian Renxue say she wanted to eat whale glue, though this substance is used by nobles as an aphrodisiac.
Back then, Qian Daoliu, angry, grabbed the Angel Holy Sword to go slash Qian Xunji, this damned thing, always spouting nonsense in front of Xue'er! Later, Qian Renxue said she saw in ancient texts that whale glue could enhance physique, allowing Qian Xunji to live to this day.
Thus, Qian Daoliu also had people test the effects of whale glue; indeed it can enhance physique.
But Qian Renxue is too young; before her martial soul awakens, she cannot refine the medicinal potency, so Qian Daoliu has never dared to let her eat it.
"Would eating it now be too late? Xue'er, anything you can think of, your grandfather would naturally think of as well."
"I originally thought you would be born with full soul power, take that sun bird as your first soul ring, break through soul power, then eat whale glue to strengthen your physique and absorb the thousand-year second ring, becoming the first prodigy on the Douluo Continent who can absorb a thousand-year soul ring with just two rings!"
Qian Daoliu sighed.
"I never expected Xue'er to be favored by the gods, born with rank twenty soul power, ruining my plans."
"Now continuing the plan for a thousand-year second ring is no longer feasible, after all, after absorbing the first soul ring you will still encounter a bottleneck."
"For two thousand-year soul rings, wasting time to strengthen the physique—is this really the right choice?"
"Although the soul power gained after obtaining soul rings remains, the cultivation speed of a Soul Scholar without soul rings and that of a great soul master with two rings are completely incomparable!"
"Xue'er, my Qian family has a dedicated Angel God's trial to raise soul ring age; why waste your talent for a few years?"
The Ultimate Douluo known as "Invincible in the Sky" earnestly advised, fearing Qian Renxue's stubbornness would flare up.
Unlike Qian Xunji, who can only absorb two pieces of the Angel set and cannot even activate the divine trial.
Qian Renxue, blessed by the gods, can be said to be the Angel God's personally designated heir, the next Angel God—there must be no mistake!
Qian Daoliu truly never imagined he would ever feel troubled because a junior's talent is too good.
Ah~ this is really great! Hahaha.
Hum! Tang Chen, I lost to you—so what? In this world, who can rival my Xue'er! My granddaughter Qian Renxue has the potential to become a god! "Grandfather, rest assured, Xue'er will not absorb a thousand-year soul ring."
Qian Daoliu nodded satisfied. He felt he was truly a good grandfather, living up to himself. Xue'er's stubborn nature, he managed to convince her.
Whoever listened to this wouldn't be confused! Old ginger is still spicy! Does he really think his cultivation as an Ultimate Douluo is for nothing? No one understands cultivation better than him!
"Xue'er wants a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!"
"Ah?"
The old man was stunned on the spot—how come we still need a hundred-thousand-year soul ring?
Qian Renxue continued calmly.
"Grandfather, do you still remember the ceremony when my martial soul awakened? Did the angel statue's brow shoot a golden light into my six-winged angel soul mark?"
"Remember, that wasn't god-bestowed soul power?" Qian Daoliu puzzled.
That was not god-bestowed soul power; Qian Renxue, chosen early by the Angel God as successor, was granted god-bestowed soul power at birth.
This is the baseline soul power given by the Angel God; if her innate talent were lacking, she would still be born with full soul power.
Simply put, no matter Qian Renxue's talent, the Angel God has acknowledged her.
The key is that Qian Renxue's parents are both Titled Douluo-level, her martial soul has no evil mutation, and her talent is too outstanding.
Directly stacking her to innate rank twenty soul power.
That golden light, Qian Renxue herself doesn't know what it is; the golden orb has already taken residence in her six-winged angel soul mark, so she can only bluff people.
"It is not god-bestowed soul power, but the noble Angel God's divine revelation!"
Qian Renxue wore a mysterious expression; in fact, she felt guilty inside, for she now stands beneath the Angel God's statue, deceiving His most faithful follower.
But for a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, she will fight!
Moreover, she is the Angel God's successor; the Angel God's people are naturally her people!
"What? Divine revelation! What revelation does the Angel God have?"
Qian Daoliu couldn't contain his joy; no wonder the gods lowered their gaze and spoke a sentence before falling silent—originally they were communicating with Xue'er!
"Grandfather, don't rush, listen to me finish."
"Quick, quick, quick, you say, you say, grandfather won't disturb."
"Actually, the Divine Realm is just like the mortal world, with clear divisions of strength."
Qian Renxue's one sentence directly left Qian Daoliu stunned; this is the division of the god realm's levels — isn't it saying there's still a path after level 100!
He forced himself to calm down.
"The God Realm is divided into the lowest-level god officials without god positions, third-level gods, second-level gods, first-level gods, and finally the five god kings who rule the God Realm."
"After becoming a god, one's strength mainly depends on the rank of one's god position."
"Of course, this isn't absolute; the stronger one's potential before becoming a god, the stronger one's strength after becoming a god!"
"The Angel God is an outstanding among first-level gods, yet still cannot compare to the five god kings."
"Xue'er's reason for wanting a 100,000-year spirit ring is also to increase her potential; Grandfather, I have already been researching opponents in the God Realm!"
Qian Daoliu opened his mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't; he only felt that a thick barrier had already arisen between him and his granddaughter.
"Please keep reading, please vote, please comment, please everything, brothers, this is really important to me! Don't raise me, brothers. Wuwu wu."
