Chapter 252: Three Years! (Please Subscribe)_1
At this moment, three years have passed since the establishment of the Martial Soul Empire!
The entire Continent had become well-ordered under the governance of the Hall of Martial Souls...
However, with the Hall's three years of oppressive equality, distinctions between commoners and the royal household within the Martial Soul Empire ceased to exist...
Consequently, many Soul Masters, not having any tangible advantage over commoners due to this so-called 'equality,' began to believe that training was useless and started to halt their cultivation...
As a result, not a single Titled Douluo-level powerhouse had emerged throughout the entire continent in three years!
It was once thought that this phenomenon would be resolved...
Instead, the indifference shown by the Martial Soul Hall only exacerbated the dissatisfaction growing among the Soul Masters!
Meanwhile, within Pope Hall...
Sitting on the Pope's Chair, Bi Bidong's face was etched with exhaustion...
Her gaze was faint as she looked down at the Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls below her!
She slowly said, "Elders, is there any pressing matter you'd like to report today?"
Aside from Yueguan and Gui Mei, the other Elders of the Hall looked at one another...
The Red-robed Guardian nodded, his face grim, "Your Holiness, what we have to report is the same issue as last time. The Soul Masters of the Martial Soul Empire can no longer feel any difference between themselves and the commoners, and they are beginning to stop their cultivation altogether. This is a catastrophic disaster!"
The Snake Spear nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Holiness, it's been three years, and not a single Titled Douluo has emerged in the Martial Soul Empire. This is not development—it's a regression toward continuous decline!"
The Citun sighed and said, "Your Holiness, please restore the Soul Masters' privileges. Throughout this period, all Soul Masters in the Martial Soul Empire have grown increasingly resentful!"
Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong's eyes hardened, "Absolutely not! Only by ensuring equality for everyone can the state continue to thrive!"
If the old system were to be reinstated, she feared that the Martial Soul Empire would ultimately splinter again!
For the safety of the citizens of the Martial Soul Empire, she would not allow such an event to occur!
Even if it meant that the strength of the Empire's Soul Masters would continue to decline!
The Elders looked at each other with a sigh in their hearts...
They were well aware of what Bi Bidong was pursuing...
Her ideal of equality was an illusion!
To imagine it could last was utterly unrealistic!
...
In the empty Elder Hall...
Only two figures stood...
"Grandfather, I've broken through to the Angel's Ninth Trial!" Qian Renxue's expression was cool as she spoke to Qian Dao Liu before her.
Having broken through to the Angel's Ninth Trial, she felt no joy because it also meant that Qian Dao Liu would soon depart...
In front of Qian Renxue stood the white-haired, aged Qian Dao Liu, who affectionately tousled her hair...
He knew that Qian Renxue was just trying to leave a good impression in his final days, which is why she held back her tears...
After all, this might be the last conversation he'd ever have with his granddaughter...
Then, Qian Dao Liu struggled to make his way toward the secret chamber...
Seeing that Qian Renxue didn't follow, he turned his head and said gently to her, who was still standing there, "Xiao Xue, don't daydream. Come with Grandfather to complete your Ninth Trial!"
Qian Renxue's eyes reddened slightly, but she still forced herself not to cry, replying expressionlessly, "Okay".
After a while, the two of them finally arrived inside the secret chamber...
Qian Renxue's pupils flashed, her voice cold, "Grandfather, now that the Martial Soul Empire has unified, all of this is unnecessary!"
Qian Dao Liu gave her a gentle look, "Xiao Xue, Grandfather doesn't have many days left. Being able to pave the way to godhood for you in the end is enough for me!"
Qian Renxue was silent, not speaking...
Qian Dao Liu's gaze turned toward the Angel Statue before him, and he slowly closed his eyes, murmuring a string of words, "Great God of Angels!..."
The next moment, the Angel Statue seemed to be activated, with the six wings behind it radiating golden light that shone upon both Qian Dao Liu and Qian Renxue...
Immediately after, Qian Dao Liu's body erupted with the only Soul Power he had left, in front of him a swirl of golden hue slowly unfurled...
He took a deep look at Qian Renxue beside him and said, "Xiao Xue, after grandfather is gone, take good care of yourself!"
Even though his granddaughter was about to become a god, he still felt somewhat reluctant to let go...
Qian Renxue's delicate throat swallowed, her gaze fixed on Qian Dao Liu, yet she chose to remain silent...
"Xiao Xue, goodbye!"
With those words, Qian Dao Liu released his Six-winged Angel Martial Soul and then calmly stepped into the golden whirlpool...
After the golden whirlpool slowly disappeared, the statue of the Six-winged Angel, as if recharged, burst forth with even more terrifying golden light that bathed Qian Renxue's body...
The next moment, a few clear tears slowly rolled down the corners of Qian Renxue's eyes...
The immense Six-winged Angel Martial Soul appeared behind her, and then, nine awe-inspiring Soul Rings suddenly rose from beneath her feet...
Black, black, black, red, red, red, red, red...
The golden light that gathered on Qian Renxue's body slowly integrated into her...
After a while, behind the ninth crimson Soul Ring at her feet, a Soul Ring radiating golden light took shape successfully!
At that moment, the clothes on Qian Renxue's body all shattered, revealing her tender and smooth figure...
Together with the Six-winged Angel behind her, as if they had been sublimated...
Especially those six angelic wings, they became even more imbued with sanctity, flapping rapidly with golden flames...
An overwhelming aura capable of crushing everything suddenly was released...
"Angel's Descent!!"
From the Divine Realm, a voice, merciless and filled with majesty, rang out...
The divine seal of the Angel God, which had been hidden on her forehead, now emerged with an intense golden light...
Qian Renxue's amber-like pupils slowly opened, sensing the Divine Power surging within her body...
Utterly calm, she whispered, "So this is the power of a god?"
...
Within the habitat of the Hao Tian Clan!
Tang Chen, along with the Hao Tian Sect Elders, looked upon the seven figures seated cross-legged in front of them...
Those were indeed Tang San and the Shrek Seven Monsters!
Aside from Xiaowu, the divine seals on the foreheads of the other six from the Shrek Seven Monsters were flashing violently with various colors...
One Hao Tian Sect Elder asked in confusion, "Sect Master, what's happening to them?"
Another Hao Tian Sect Elder furrowed his brow, staring intently at Tang San and the others, "The marks on their foreheads have lit up, could it be...?"
Tang Chen took a deep breath to calm his surging heart...
With a trembling voice, he said, "Yes, these six children have most likely... reached the Hundredth Level! They have become six true gods!"
And furthermore, if all goes as expected...
The continually changing seal on Tang San's forehead...
Suggests that my great-grandson, Tang San, may very well have attained dual godhood!!!
