Chapter 135 Snowy Night.
The fifth, sixth, and seventh soul rings grew increasingly dark, even faintly tinged with red—a sign of their evolution into ten-thousand-year soul rings!
However, the greatest change occurred deep within her soul.
The power bestowed by the "Goddess Ranking" was not merely enhancing her strength, but also awakening the dormant "divinity" within her.
This was something more essential than divine power, the core of what makes a god a god.
Ordinary god inheritors needed to complete all divine trials and inherit their divine position before truly condensing their divinity. But at this moment, Qian Renxue's divinity was being awakened ahead of schedule!
A golden flame ignited at the core of her soul.
That flame was warm, sacred, and eternal, containing fragments of the laws of divine duties such as "light," "purification," "judgment," and "redemption."
As the flame burned, Qian Renxue could feel that her control over the attribute of light had reached an unprecedented level, even allowing her to initially invoke the most primordial laws of light in the world.
"Is this... divine awakening?"
Qian Renxue murmured to herself, her golden eyes reflecting the flame of divinity deep within her soul.
She could sense that this flame was still very weak, far from reaching the level of a true deity.
But it was a beginning, a seed—with this seed, her path to condensing her divine essence and inheriting her divine position would be ten times, a hundred times smoother!
And just then—the golden pillar of light piercing the heavens and earth suddenly contracted!
All the light converged towards the center, condensing into the illusory image of the eighth list on the celestial canvas.
This list was completely different from the previous seven.
The borders were not made of any material patterns, but were outlined by pure laws of light, with countless tiny angelic runes flowing and chanting on the borders.
At the center of the rankings, the image that appeared was no longer Qian Renxue's current appearance, but a dynamic scene—on the left side, the young Qian Renxue awakened her martial soul in the Spirit Hall, a six-winged angel phantom soaring into the sky, shocking everyone present.
In the center, the young Qian Renxue, transformed into Xue Qinghe, entered the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, beginning a twenty-year period of infiltration.
On the right side, the current Qian Renxue appeared, bathed in golden holy flames, her six wings outstretched, divine fire burning in her eyes.
The three scenes shifted, seemingly telling a story of "inheritance," "infiltration," and "awakening."
The next moment, the ranking information flooded into the consciousness of all those who looked up to her.
[Goddess Ranking, 8th: Qian Renxue]
[Age: 29]
[Affiliation: Spirit Hall (Infiltrated into the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family)]
[Identity: Successor of the Angel God's position, holder of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, innate level 20 Soul Power]
[Cultivation: Formerly level 79 Soul Saint, now upgraded to level 85 Soul Douluo]
[Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel (God-given Martial Soul, possessing ultimate light and ultimate fire attributes, currently evolving towards the God King level "Twelve-Winged Seraphim" form)]
[Soul Rings: Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black (All Soul Rings' age has been greatly increased; the seventh Soul Ring has reached the 100,000-year threshold)]
[Domain: Angel Domain (Evolved into the "Holy Judgment Domain")]
[Divinity: Light Divinity has been initially awakened (Divine Flame ignited)]
[Evaluation: A peerless genius possessing a God-given Martial Soul, the bloodline successor of the Angel God on Earth. Innate level 20 Soul Power, her talent is unparalleled in the world.]
[Having infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire for twenty years, using the alias Xue Qinghe, he rose to the position of Crown Prince, wielding considerable power. His intellect, shrewdness, and methods are all top-tier.]
[His martial soul essence touched the threshold of the God-King level, breaking the limitations of a first-level god and possessing unlimited evolutionary potential. His divine nature awakened prematurely, laying a supreme foundation for inheriting the Angel Godhood in the future.]
[He is outwardly gentle but inwardly resolute, decisive in his actions, and harbors great ambitions yet keeps them hidden. Due to his unique upbringing, he has a complex and profound understanding of family, power, and faith.]
[This time, due to the Goddess Ranking's perception of his divine nature and the uniqueness of his infiltrative career, he was exceptionally admitted, ranking eighth.]
[Reward 1: His soul power increased by six levels, breaking through to level 85 Soul Douluo. The age of all his soul rings increased significantly, with his seventh soul ring touching the 100,000-year threshold.]
[Reward 2: His Six-Winged Angel martial soul broke the limitations of a first-level god, gaining the possibility of evolving into a "Twelve-Winged Seraphim" (God-King level). ] [The quality of the Martial Soul is comprehensively improved, and its affinity with the laws of light and fire reaches its peak.]
[Reward Three: The Angelic Domain evolves into the "Divine Judgment Domain."]
[The domain radius expands to 300 meters, the concentration of light elements within the domain soars, and all dark, evil, and impure attributes are absolutely suppressed (suppression effect increased to 70%).]
[The domain adds the "Divine Insight" effect, which can see through disguises, illusions, and concealment, and directly see the essence of energy and the underlying nature of the soul.]
[The domain's ultimate ability, "Angel's Descent," can briefly summon the phantom of an angel god to possess the user, unleashing a divine judgment skill with power comparable to a demigod's full-force attack. Limited to one use per day.]
[Reward Four: Divinity awakens ahead of schedule, condensing the "Light Divine Flame."]
[This is the budding of the core origin of a deity, increasing the holder's comprehension of the laws of light a hundredfold, and allowing for the initial use of the power of the laws of light in the world.]
[The Divine Flame possesses the characteristic of "eternal inextinguishability," which can slowly purify the soul's impurities, resist mental attacks below the divine level, and nourish the divine soul.] [To solidify the supreme foundation for future divinity.]
[Reward Five: Obtain the angelic artifact projection "Armor of Holy Flame" (incomplete).]
[This is a partial projection of the armor from the Angel God's natal artifact "Divine Armor." Although incomplete, it contains a trace of the artifact's essence.]
[Wearing it grants all-around defensive enhancements, providing extremely strong resistance to attacks of darkness, evil, and curses. The armor comes with "Holy Flame Protection," passively burning nearby enemies.]
[The projection persists, gradually improving as the user's strength increases, and may eventually condense into a true artifact component.]
The moment this information was imprinted, the entire continent fell into an eerie silence once more.
But this silence was completely different from the absurd astonishment when Ning Rongrong appeared on the list.
This time, it was shock, realization, and chilling dread.
"Qian Renxue... Angel God's successor... Infiltrating Tiandou for twenty years... Crown Prince Xue Qinghe..."
These pieces of information, strung together, revealed a truth that sent chills down everyone's spine.
"His Highness the Crown Prince... is actually a member of the Spirit Hall?!"
"Twenty years! He's been lying low for a full twenty years!"
"No wonder the Crown Prince has gradually gained control of the Heaven Dou court these past few years... no wonder the Spirit Hall's expansion within Heaven Dou territory has been so smooth... So that's it! So that's it!"
Within Heaven Dou City, countless court officials, nobles, and generals were deathly pale, their bodies ice-cold.
Many of them were the backbone of the "Crown Prince Party," having wholeheartedly supported Crown Prince Xue Qinghe for the past twenty years, believing him to be the future hope of the Heaven Dou Empire.
But now...
