Chapter 18 Yu Yan Curses Dao Liu
"Have you had enough fun?" Jin Yang looked helplessly at Qian Yuyan, who was studying the Golden Crow Martial Soul. "Come on, let's find a descendant of your Qian family to arrange an identity for you."
Qian Daoliu, who was the priest of the Angel God, had already noticed the unusual phenomenon of Qian Yuyan awakening her martial soul.
The purer, holy angelic power than Xue'er made Qian Daoliu's heart pound, and a conjecture arose in his mind.
Could it be that the God Ancestor has been resurrected? He couldn't think of anyone else besides the God Ancestor who could unleash such pure divine power.
But then he felt troubled. If the God Ancestor were to be resurrected, the position of the angel should naturally be reclaimed by the God Ancestor, and he had no power to stop the God Ancestor from taking back his position.
But as Qian Renxue's grandfather, he also wanted to see his granddaughter become a god, so that after his death, Xue'er would have the power to protect herself.
He couldn't count on Bibi Dong. That evil, dark divine power—Bibi Dong probably thought she was hiding it very well.
Qian Daoliu didn't care what power Bibi Dong gained, nor did he care about Bibi Dong's attempt to usurp the power of the Hall of Worship; this was something his Qian family owed Bibi Dong.
What he cared about was that, as a mother, she showed no concern for Xue'er at all, which disappointed Qian Daoliu.
Although he greatly admired the Divine Ancestor and the Divine Beast, the Divine Ancestor never married and the Divine Beast had no relation to the Qian family. Could they really take a descendant of the Qian family who had no blood relation to them seriously?
Qian Daoliu sighed, a sense of unease rising within him, unsure of what to do.
"Qian Daoliu." Jin Yang's voice suddenly appeared in the Angel Temple, accompanied by an extremely beautiful woman whose face bore a striking resemblance to the angel statue.
"God, God Ancestor!" Qian Daoliu still found it unbelievable that he had seen the legendary angel god appear alive before his eyes.
"You're a descendant of my Qian family? You're the only one left in my six-winged angel Qian family?" Qian Yuyan sensed the distribution of the six-winged angels' bloodline in the Spirit Hall, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
As an angel goddess, she bestowed divine power upon the six-winged angels to advance to god-level martial souls, and naturally could sense the aura and distribution of the six-winged angels.
However, in her perception, among the vast Spirit Hall, only Qian Daoliu in front of her was a six-winged angel.
No way, do they even know how to play? Is the descendant of the Qian family so useless that he's almost ruined himself with a god-level martial soul?
Seeing the anger on the face of the Divine Ancestor, Qian Daoliu quickly explained, "Divine Ancestor, I am not the only descendant of the Qian family. However, as the bloodline of the Qian family has gradually become diluted with the reproduction of many descendants, the martial spirit has degenerated into a branch."
"And my lineage can still stably awaken six-winged angels. Besides me, I also have a granddaughter named Qian Renxue. Didn't you, Ancestor God, bestow upon Xue'er innate level 20 soul power?"
"So, there are only two of you left among the six-winged angels?" Qian Yuyan was speechless. She thought that her descendants had already unified the continent.
Given the current situation, let alone unifying the continent, it would be good enough if the Qian family's position in the Spirit Hall wasn't usurped.
"Where is your granddaughter? Why can't I sense her presence here?"
"This..." Qian Daoliu tensed up, finding it difficult to speak for a moment, "Xue'er, she..."
"Qian Renxue was sent to the Heavenly Dou Empire at the age of 9 to carry out the plan to usurp the country," Jin Yang added to Qian Daoliu, never one to shy away from stirring things up.
"The Heavenly Dou Empire? Usurpation? 9 years old?" Qian Yuyan was already a little confused. She could understand each word individually, but she couldn't understand them when they were put together. "Hmm, I think I've heard of the Heavenly Dou Empire before. It seems to be a small country in the alliance."
"Uh, Divine Ancestor, the Heavenly Dou Empire developed from that small country you mentioned."
"Shortly after your ascension, the human alliance you led disintegrated due to a lack of common threats from soul beasts and fallen soul masters, and conflicts of interest, with each side carving out their own territory."
"Among these, several countries, such as the Tiandou Kingdom and the Xingluo Kingdom, launched a war a thousand years ago to annex many countries. In the end, the Xingdou Great Forest served as a natural dividing line, and the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire formed a situation of north-south confrontation."
Qian Daoliu carefully recounted the history of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
"North-South confrontation? What about our Qianjia?"
"Our Qian family has developed for so long, establishing Spirit Halls throughout the continent, forming a vast power centered on Spirit City, with influence radiating across the entire continent. We are undoubtedly the number one force," Qian Daoliu said with considerable pride.
"...So the Qian family's actual territory is only Wuhun City? It hasn't changed in ten thousand years?" Qian Yuyan keenly grasped the key information.
"Well, you could say that," Qian Daoliu said hesitantly.
"Hehe, so in other words, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the Qian family, relying on the power of a divine-level martial soul, has only managed to preserve their ancestral land?" Qian Yuyan's voice rose.
Questioned by the Divine Ancestor, Qian Daoliu felt somewhat aggrieved: "Divine Ancestor, wasn't it your intention that our Qian family didn't choose to expand?"
"Your doctrine mentions"
The followers of angels should let light shine across the entire continent, eradicating war and evil on earth.
"Followers of angels should maintain virtue and honor, and should not abuse their power for their own selfish desires."
"Followers of angels should maintain a pure heart and sincerely serve the glory of the angel God."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Qian Yuyan was completely exasperated. "I fabricated these doctrines for the Qian family to use for their followers, how come you yourselves believe them?"
As is well known, the rules and doctrines of a religion are never followed by the pope himself, but rather interpreted by the pope; this is the significance of the right of interpretation.
Qian Yuyan suddenly understood those gods who loved to meddle in the mortal realm. If she had known that the descendants of the Qian family were so unreliable, she probably wouldn't have been able to resist taking action herself.
"What about usurping the throne?" Qian Yuyan took a deep breath to calm her agitated emotions.
"In fact, in recent centuries, the Qian family has also felt that the Spirit Hall's adherence to old rules is not good, and it has been subtly dividing the power of the two great empires and gradually expanding."
"The plan to usurp the throne was one of them."
"Usurpation? Are the two great empires now so powerful that even the Spirit Hall can't defeat them?" Qian Yuyan asked, somewhat puzzled. "How many Title Douluos does our Spirit Hall have now?"
"More than thirty people," Qian Daoliu said somewhat awkwardly.
"What about the two great empires?"
"The emperor and empress of the Star Luo Empire can rival a Title Douluo when they use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique. The Heaven Dou Empire has recruited a guest elder named Poison Douluo, but there are no other Title Douluos besides him."
"Then what's the point of you trying to usurp the country? Can't you just attack directly?" Qian Yuyan was exhausted. In her imagination, the Heaven Dou Empire would need at least a dozen Title Douluos to make the Spirit Hall carry out some kind of usurpation plan, right?
So all they have is the strength of a Title Douluo? Holy crap, is the Qian family some kind of idiotic villainous force?
