With the court stabilized, Qian Renxue sought out Yang Yuan once again.
She was preparing to return to Spirit Hall to inherit the Angel God's God Position.
Her trusted aide had studied by her side for a long time and was capable enough to handle government affairs.
Furthermore, Yang Yuan had cast the Array of Deceiving Heaven on the aide, which was sufficient to hide the truth from everyone's eyes, so there was no need to worry about exposure.
Finally, Yang Yuan also intended to accompany Qian Renxue to Spirit Hall to undergo the God Trial.
This was also the promise he had made back then.
And this time, he did not bring Gu Yuena along.
After all, it was a rare opportunity for him and Qian Renxue to travel together; why would he need a third wheel?
Not just Gu Yuena, but Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo were also arranged to stay behind at Spirit Hall, secretly protecting the aide who was disguised as the Heaven Dou Emperor... On the wide official road, a luxurious carriage traveled slowly; it was none other than Yang Yuan and Qian Renxue.
Neither of them was in a hurry to reach Spirit Hall. They stopped and started along the way, enjoying the scenery and each other's company, looking like a pair of immortal companions.
The reason for this was that since they had confirmed their relationship, they had rarely had such opportunities to be alone, so they naturally cherished it all the more now.
Although Qian Renxue wanted to inherit the God Position quickly, she loved this current feeling and hoped that time would move a bit slower.
Of course, a big reason why her heart felt so light was that after usurping the Heaven Dou throne, her long-held wish had finally been fulfilled.
This resulted in a journey that would originally have taken half a month taking the two of them a full three months.
Spirit City!
Arriving here again, Yang Yuan felt a different sensation in his heart.
The two of them walked to the main gate of Spirit Hall. Facing the obstruction of the Hall Guardian Knights, Qian Renxue calmly pulled out a medallion.
The moment they saw the medallion, the Hall Guardian Knights were first stunned, but then they respectfully bowed.
"Greetings, Your HighnessHoly Maiden!"
As it turned out, what Qian Renxue held was indeed the medallion representing the status of the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall.
The reason the Hall Guardian Knights were surprised was mainly because they didn't know where a Holy Maiden had come from, other than Hu Liena.
However, the Holy Maiden medallion could not be faked; they recognized the medallion, not the person.
Subsequently, the Hall Guardian Knights allowed Yang Yuan and Qian Renxue into the hall.
After entering Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue was familiar with the way and soon brought Yang Yuan to the Elder Palace within Spirit Hall, introducing it to him as they went.
"Since Bibi Dong was crippled, Grandfather hasn't been in a hurry to appoint a new Supreme Pontiff, but is temporarily managing the hall's affairs."
"But Grandfather doesn't actually want to do these things. He only wants to stay in the Elder Palace and worship the Angel God every day. He still spends most of his time in the Elder Palace."
Soon, the two of them saw Qian Daoliu, who looked like a middle-aged man, sitting cross-legged in front of the Angel God statue inside the distant Elder Palace. His eyes were closed as if he were meditating.
However, when Yang Yuan and Qian Renxue arrived outside the Elder Palace, he immediately sensed their presence and stood up from his meditation cushion.
"Grandfather!" Qian Renxue stepped forward quickly, a bright smile on her face.
Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue, who was like a bright young girl, and was slightly stunned.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had seen Xue'er like this.
Was it because of him?
Qian Daoliu looked at Yang Yuan, who followed behind Qian Renxue with a smile. After a brief moment of surprise, he soon realized that the relationship between his precious granddaughter and Yang Yuan must have taken a step further.
Otherwise, Yang Yuan wouldn't have accompanied her back to Spirit Hall.
Of course, Qian Daoliu was naturally happy to see this happen.
If one were to say who on the continent was worthy of his precious granddaughter, it was undoubtedly Yang Yuan.
Most importantly, when it came time for Qian Renxue's Nine Trials of the Angel, he would have to sacrifice himself.
If he were to die, and Bibi Dong's relationship with Xue'er remained strained while she was already a cripple...
At that time, looking across the continent, she would have no relatives. If there were someone who loved and cared for her to accompany her, she wouldn't feel lonely.
"Xue'er, you're back!" Qian Daoliu smiled gently and nodded slightly toward Yang Yuan. "Your ExcellencyYang Yuan, you've come as well."
Yang Yuan grinned and said, "We're all one family here. You're Sister Xueer's grandfather, so naturally, you're my grandfather too. Just call me by my name."
Standing to the side, after hearing Yang Yuan's words, a blush brushed across Qian Renxue's cheeks as she said, "That's right, Grandfather. Just call him Xiao Yuan."
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu shook his head and laughed. "Good, good, good. From now on, Grandfather will call him Xiao Yuan."
Then Qian Renxue added, "Grandfather, I have now ascended the Heaven Dou throne. I've come back this time to undergo the Angel God Trial."
A sense of mission flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes as he nodded. "You should have come long ago. You are different from your father and me. Although we all have the SeraphimSpirit, in our clan, only you have the potential to become the Angel God."
Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "Why is that?"
Qian Daoliu's thoughts seemed to return to when Qian Renxue was just born, and he said with emotion, "The reason Grandfather is so certain, besides your talent, is because when you were born, the Angel God statue radiated golden light. Such a phenomenon is unprecedented and must be a divine oracle."
Qian Renxue realized, "So that's how it is."
Then she asked, "Then how should I start the Angel God Trial?"
Qian Daoliu said, "Don't be in a hurry. Grandfather will guide you!"
As he spoke, he gestured for Qian Renxue to step forward and raised his hands to his chest.
In the next second, a ball of faint golden light gathered in his palm.
As Qian Daoliu waved his hand toward the statue, the golden light immediately spread upward from the bottom of the statue. Finally, the entire statue flickered with golden radiance.
Before long, a golden beam of light suddenly shot out from the statue's brow, enveloping Qian Renxue.
When the golden light dissipated, Qian Daoliu hurriedly asked, "Xue'er, how do you feel? What is your God Trial task?"
Qian Renxue said, "My First Angel Trial task is very simple. I just need to defeat any Spirit Master of the same rank."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu thought...
It's good that it's simple. He could also feel much more at ease, only wishing for Qian Renxue to become a god safely and steadily.
Yang Yuan, however, was puzzled. This God Trial was indeed a bit too simple; it didn't provide any tempering effect at all.
Thinking of this, divine light flickered within Yang Yuan's Double Pupils as he suddenly looked at the Angel God statue ahead.
Within his sight, he saw that inside the glamorous statue, it was a scene of ruin—utterly dark and devoid of any vitality.
One must know that such statues connect directly to the God Realm and are closely related to the Divinity's true body.
Just like the Sea God's statue in the Sea God Temple; its surface was ordinary, but it contained divine light and was full of vitality. Compared to the Angel God right now, it was the exact opposite.
Clearly, something major had happened to the Angel God in the God Realm; it was likely that they had already fallen.
Qian Renxue noticed Yang Yuan's abnormality and asked curiously, "Did you discover something?"
Yang Yuan answered truthfully.
Hearing his words, Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu turned pale with horror.
"My god has fallen?"
"How is that possible!!"
