Severely injured, Qian Daoliu was overjoyed to see Qian Renxue arrive.
Hope rekindled in his previously dim eyes, and the pain on his face seemed to lessen.
"Xiaoxue actually succeeded in becoming an Angel God! That's wonderful!"
Qian Daoliu exclaimed excitedly, his voice weak from his injuries, but his joy remained undiminished.
He looked at Qian Renxue, his eyes filled with relief and pride:
"I knew you wouldn't let me down. To see you become a god before I die, I, Qian Daoliu, have no regrets."
Qian Daoliu gasped for breath, trying to stand, but collapsed weakly to the ground.
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, and said, "Grandpa, you rest first. Leave this to me."
Qian Daoliu nodded heavily, then turned his gaze to Bibi Dong, filled with vigilance and worry.
Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue and sneered,
"So what if she becomes an Angel God?
Today, none of you will stop me!"
Qian Renxue's expression hardened, and she said, "Mother, stop. Don't make another mistake."
The atmosphere in the Angel Temple grew increasingly tense, and a more intense conflict seemed about to erupt.
Faced with Qian Renxue's obstruction, Bibi Dong's expression became even more furious.
Her features were distorted with anger as she loudly questioned Qian Renxue,
"Why are you stopping me?
Qian Daoliu killed Qian Renshang. It's only right for me to avenge my son!
And it's also avenging you, that's your brother!"
Her voice echoed in the Angel Temple, filled with endless grief and determination.
Qian Renxue's expression was solemn as she replied,
"Mother, when will this cycle of revenge end?
I am also grieving over Qian Renshang's death, but killing will only bring more pain and hatred."
Bibi Dong glared at her and roared,
"What do you know? Qian Daoliu has always suppressed us, and now he has killed Qian Renshang.
I swear I will not be human if I do not avenge this!"
Qian Renxue stepped forward and said, "Mother, you have been blinded by hatred.
As gods, we should have a broader vision and a more magnanimous heart."
Bibi Dong sneered, "Magnanimous heart?
How can I have a magnanimous heart when my son has been murdered?
Get out of my way, or don't blame me for disregarding our mother-daughter relationship!"
Qian Renxue stood firmly in place, showing no intention of backing down:
"Mother, if you insist, I have no choice but to fight you."
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Angel Temple was extremely tense, and a conflict between the three was imminent.
Qian Renxue's expression was incredibly complex; this was the first time she had so defied Bibi Dong.
Her heart was filled with turmoil and struggle, her eyes revealing pain and helplessness.
However, Qian Daoliu had truly treated her well, and she couldn't let him die before her eyes.
As for Qian Renshang's death… Qian Renxue had now become indifferent.
The dead cannot be brought back to life; the path after becoming a god was now the most important thing. She wanted to make the Spirit Hall great again.
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and said,
"Mother, Qian Renshang's death is an irreversible tragedy, but we cannot let it lead us to endless hatred and slaughter.
The Spirit Hall needs us to protect it together and lead it to glory."
Bibi Dong stared wide-eyed at Qian Renxue in disbelief, roaring,
"How could you say such a thing? He was your own brother!"
Qian Renxue bit her lip and said,
Mother, I understand your pain, but we cannot let hatred cloud our judgment.
As gods, we bear a greater responsibility."
Bibi Dong's body trembled slightly.
She stared intently at Qian Renxue and said,
"Fine, fine! You actually disregarded your brother's blood feud for Qian Daoliu!"
