"Young deity!"
"Even gods of his age are no match for him!"
In the Imperial Palace Hall, Qian Renxue, Snakelance Douluo, and the hidden Porcupine Douluo were all greatly shaken.
They had imagined that Qin Xiao was very outstanding, but they never expected the Great Priest to have such a high regard for him.
Even Qian Renxue, who had been favored by Qiandaoliu from a young age and was a potential successor to the God of Angels, had to admit defeat to Qin Xiao.
Yet, she had never considered that she might have underestimated Qin Xiao's potential.
In the hall, the air itself seemed to freeze.
All that could be heard were the heavy breaths of those present.
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo exchanged glances and couldn't help but reveal wry smiles.
This scene was all too familiar to them; they had not reacted any better than anyone else when they first heard the Great Priest's evaluation of Qin Xiao.
They believed that anyone who heard such words would be greatly shocked.
However,
neither of them said anything, patiently waiting for the others to digest the information.
Sigh...
After a long while, Qian Renxue finally exhaled and came to accept the fact.
However, a new doubt emerged in her mind, "I wonder if the two guest elders know how my grandfather plans to help Qin Xiao ascend to godhood?"
"Could it be that he intends for Qin Xiao to inherit another god's legacy?"
Since Martial Soul Hall had the inheritance of the Angel's God, she had some understanding of godhood.
However, the position of the Angel's God was destined to be hers, and without the Angel's Martial Soul, no one else could inherit it.
In her opinion, helping Qin Xiao ascend to godhood could only mean finding a godhood inheritance for him.
However,
the answer from Qianjun Douluo was quite unexpected.
"The Great Priest said Qin Xiao's talent is a gift from heaven, and it would be a pity for him to simply inherit a godhood."
"Thus, as long as Qin Xiao joins Martial Soul Hall, he is willing to take a big gamble for him," Qianjun Douluo paraphrased Qiandaoliu.
"A big gamble?!"
Qian Renxue was jolted, her face showing surprise.
"Could it be that he means...."
She considered a possibility.
"Yes, it's to collect faith, the level of a hundred to become a god!"
Qianjun Douluo nodded heavily, "The Great Priest's idea is to help Qin Xiao become a god on his own, to let him congeal his own godhood!"
"Ah this...."
The crowd was once again so shocked that they were at a loss for words.
Even Qian Renxue felt the same.
She had not expected Qiandaoliu to want to undertake such a grand task.
"However, the power of faith is hard to collect and requires an enormous amount of time and resources."
Qian Renxue was no longer a child; as the Monarch of the Tiandou Empire, she knew all too well the difficulty of winning over people's hearts.
"So the Great Priest said to wait until you become the new God of Angels before embarking on this task. Of course, this is also something Qin Xiao must strive for on his own."
"After all, there's not much faith to be gathered along the main roads anymore," Qianjun Douluo said meaningfully.
Suddenly,
Qian Renxue's face lit up with realization, "I understand, grandfather means to have Qin Xiao vie for the faith over the sea! While helping Qin Xiao become a god, we also eliminate the Sea God, this enormous hidden threat!"
"Hahaha, that's something you'd have to ask the Great Priest about. But I think it makes sense, after all, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. One must earn their rewards, and of course becoming a god requires one's own effort," Qianjun Douluo laughed heartily, without giving a definitive answer.
"That is indeed a clever strategy from the Great Priest."
"If Qin Xiao really succeeds, then our Martial Soul Hall will have dual god positions..."
As Snakelance Douluo spoke, his eyes shone with longing, "When that time comes, how prosperous our Martial Soul Hall will be!"
Dual God Positions!
After listening to his words, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo repeated the phrase in their minds and fell into their own reveries.
"Young Master, where is Qin Xiao now? Please tell us, as I can hardly wait to recruit him into our Martial Soul Hall," said Jiangmo Douluo eagerly, rubbing his hands together with an impatient expression.
"Qin Xiao..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression stalled.
Then, with a touch of helplessness, she said, "I'm also unclear about Qin Xiao's whereabouts. Three days ago, my people saw him leave Tiandou City, and he has not returned since."
"He has not returned?"
"Did anyone find out where he went?"
Jiangmo Douluo paused for a moment, for it was critical that Qin Xiao be present.
After all, this was their primary mission—if Qin Xiao wasn't there, they'd be recruiting loneliness....
"Let me answer this question on behalf of the Young Master," said Snakelance Douluo. "Since the incident at Heaven Dou Palace, we've only roughly kept track of Qin Xiao's movements, careful not to pry into his affairs too intrusively."
"Indeed, strong individuals are proud at heart. If we press them too much, it's an affront," he explained.
What he left unsaid was,
Even he, a Titled Douluo, felt chills at even a glance from Qin Xiao.
It wasn't that he, Snakelance Douluo, was weak, but that Qin Xiao was too powerful.
Even the Hao Tian Clan, a mighty sect, was annihilated in an instant. Who would dare provoke him?
Wasn't that like a mouse teasing a cat, seeking unnecessary stimulation?
"That makes sense," Qianjun Douluo said, nodding and speaking softly, "Then let's wait some more. It's been decades since I visited Tiandou City, so we might as well take in the sights."
Qian Renxue nodded, "Of course, I will make arrangements for both guest elders."
However,
Just as his voice fell, a sudden message rang out from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, urgent news has arrived!"
