Chapter 4: The Sea of Spirit, Power of Light and Death

"I agree. I'll do my best—not only to kill Tang San but also to defeat those gods who wronged you!" Qian Ran said seriously. Those beings weren't just Qian Renxue's enemies; they were his as well. Having crossed over to this world, he would inevitably become Tang San's enemy unless he chose to be useless. Especially considering he aimed to seize Huo Yuhao's opportunities, and Huo Yuhao was someone Tang San valued highly.

Of course, Qian Ran could have become Tang San's sycophant, but that was out of the question for him.

"Ha. Alright, I'll wait for you," Qian Renxue said with a gentle sparkle in her eyes. She could tell Qian Ran was sincere.

It had been ten thousand years, and she had been alone in the Angelic Sword's space the entire time, with no one to care about her. Her kindness to Tang San had led to her shattered godhood, while she had given Qian Ran nothing, yet he was willing to avenge her. Maybe, from the start, she had placed her trust in the wrong person.

"Good. I can use my remaining strength to grant you two powerful soul rings and four soul skills. These skills are core abilities of the Six-Winged Angel martial spirit. But everything else will depend on you. Within the Angelic Sword's space, I have many books, artifacts, and treasures I took from Spirit Hall. Drop a drop of your blood onto the sword to become its master, and you'll be able to enter anytime."

With that, Qian Renxue returned to the Angelic Sword. Immediately, Qian Ran felt a surge of tremendous energy flowing into his body.

This power was filled with holiness, making Qian Ran feel a deep sense of calm.

Gradually, he noticed two red, hundred-thousand-year soul rings forming beneath him. Their power was sealed by Qian Renxue, so he felt no discomfort.

His cultivation level skyrocketed to rank 24 in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he had advanced four levels.

And with hundred-thousand-year soul rings! This was practically a god-given soul ring.

Since Qian Ran was still weak, most of the energy in the soul rings had been sealed by Qian Renxue and would gradually merge into his meridians, helping him increase his cultivation speed over time.

Qian Renxue now resembled a mentor like Yao Lao from Battle Through the Heavens. Helping him this much must have taken a toll on her, especially since her godhood was shattered. She was only able to survive thanks to the Angelic Sword.

Each hundred-thousand-year soul ring came with two soul skills, giving Qian Ran a total of four soul skills at once!

[First Soul Skill - Angelic Assault: A close-range soul skill that concentrates the holy energy of the Six-Winged Angel into his fists, forming a golden shield when attacking, effective for both offense and defense. The holy energy can erode and suppress the target's soul power.]

[Second Soul Skill - Sacred Sword: A longsword formed from holy fire, which can also be used as a hand blade. Increases the purification effect of his angelic soul power by 300%. For most soul masters, a single cut would severely erode their soul power.]

[Third Soul Skill - Angelic Roar: A technique that converts soul power into a mental shockwave for wide-area attacks. Those struck will suffer intense mental disorientation or even psychic damage.]

[Fourth Soul Skill - Angelic Feathers: Conjures a massive angelic avatar identical to Qian Ran, whose six wings release countless golden feathers, which shoot toward the enemy from all directions.]

These four soul skills were essentially the core abilities of Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel martial spirit before she became a god! Now, Qian Renxue had passed these skills on to him, allowing him to bypass the weakness of his early cultivation stage.

Even if he faced a Soul Sect-level opponent, Qian Ran wouldn't feel intimidated now.

At this moment, two souls entered Qian Ran's body simultaneously.

One was the hundred-thousand-year soul beast Skydream Iceworm, and the other was Electrolux, the God of Necromancy from another world.

"What pure light energy," a blurry figure suddenly appeared behind Qian Ran, an ancient voice carrying authority.

Electrolux observed Qian Ran's martial spirit with a glint of interest in his eyes. If he could take over this boy's body, infused with such pure light energy, would he have a chance to return to his former self? And with the powers of both light and necromancy?

He had once been known as the Son of Light! Only due to misfortune had he fallen to become the God of Necromancy, his shattered godhood bringing him to this world.

And now…

"Though he doesn't have a spirit-type martial spirit, this boy possesses the Six-Winged Angel martial spirit? It seems my luck is excellent this time," Skydream Iceworm laughed, settling into Qian Ran's Sea of Spirit.

Inside Qian Ran's Sea of Spirit, besides Skydream Iceworm, was a gray sphere—Electrolux's power.

Qian Ran noticed Skydream Iceworm and Electrolux, realizing that in the original story, this was around the time they had appeared for Huo Yuhao.

"Such fortune? Such opportunities..." Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled with excitement. She hadn't expected her chosen one to surprise her so quickly.

One was a million year spirit-type soul beast; the other was a fragmented godhood filled with death and necromantic power from another world.

Qian Renxue, of course, didn't know that these were opportunities prepared by Tang San for his "loyal son-in-law," only to be intercepted by Qian Ran.

"Qian Ran, let me handle this. We've stumbled upon a great opportunity," Qian Renxue said, her excitement barely contained. If her plan succeeded, both she and Qian Ran could receive incredible benefits.

"Alright." Qian Ran nodded, fully trusting Qian Renxue. Besides, with the system in place, he didn't worry about Qian Renxue trying to possess him.

Following her instructions, Qian Ran relaxed, allowing golden light to envelop him, wrapping his body in holy light energy. If Electrolux and Skydream Iceworm hadn't entered his Sea of Spirit, Qian Renxue might not have been able to do anything against them with her current power.

But now, with the "door closed on the dogs," Qian Renxue had enough strength to handle them.

Drawing on the divine power from the Angelic Sacred Sword, Qian Renxue directed it to suppress Qian Ran's Sea of Spirit.

Though weakened, Qian Renxue's power level was still that of a god.

"Stay here, all of you," she commanded, her voice majestic and frightening. Qian Renxue's divine presence, with her flawless form, left Qian Ran mesmerized. The way she exuded an untouchable aura, her 36D figure, and her holy beauty made him awestruck.

"Ah! It hurts!"

"What is this?"

"What terrifying power is hidden within this boy's body?"

"No, I won't die here. Even Di Tian and those guys couldn't kill me; I can't…!"

Skydream Iceworm was horrified to find his energy dissipating rapidly, while Electrolux appeared on the verge of vanishing entirely. Electrolux had already spent much of his broken godhood's power traversing dimensions to reach this world, leaving him vulnerable. Against Qian Renxue's power, he was helpless.

Two shattered godhoods.

One belonged to the God of Necromancy from another world; the other to the former Angel God.

One walked the path of death and darkness; the other represented holy light and justice.

Before Electrolux could react, he dissolved instantly in Qian Ran's Sea of Spirit. Skydream Iceworm struggled but couldn't hold on, his massive ice-worm body quickly melting.

Qian Ran nearly fainted, the disturbance in his Sea of Spirit causing him excruciating pain.

When he woke up the next morning, his aura was intimidating, keeping all nearby soul beasts at a distance.

"What happened?" Qian Ran looked into his Sea of Spirit, where ten large orbs of light hovered, alongside a single gray orb.

Skydream Iceworm and Electrolux had both been destroyed by Qian Renxue!

At that moment, Qian Renxue reappeared before Qian Ran.

He was stunned to see her transformation. In addition to her six wings, Qian Renxue now had a pair of gray wings, imbued with a power of death and darkness completely different from her holy light energy.

If before, Qian Renxue had been an ethereal energy form, now she seemed more solid and real.

"I devoured that god's power, though I sealed away some of it to merge into your martial spirit later," Qian Renxue said softly, almost tempted to hug Qian Ran. He truly was her lucky star.

Electrolux had once been the Son of Light, before circumstances led him to fall. So his powers didn't conflict with Qian Renxue's light powers. Sensing this, Qian Renxue had attempted to absorb his power—and succeeded.

With her godhood shattered, encountering Electrolux's broken death godhood had unexpectedly begun to restore hers. She even felt that, had her godhood been whole, she wouldn't have received this opportunity. Now, she possessed half of a light godhood and half of a death godhood, embodying characteristics of both.

Even Qian Renxue was surprised by this development.

With these two powers, Qian Renxue believed that if she could become a god again, she'd be far stronger than she was in her previous life, perhaps even rivaling Tang San.

Where she once had only a faint hope of revenge, Qian Renxue now harbored even greater ambitions.

"Congratulations, congratulations," Qian Ran said, feeling thrilled. The stronger Qian Renxue became, the more excited he felt. While he had planned to steal Skydream Iceworm and Electrolux's powers from Huo Yuhao, it had been awkward to think of two men sharing his body. Just thinking about them being there while he was intimate with a girl gave him a strange, uncomfortable feeling. With Qian Renxue's help, that problem had been perfectly resolved.
