Chapter 396: God of Angels
"Are you two alright?"
After settling the battle in front of him, Kong turned his gaze toward the two not far away.
As he spoke, he rubbed his chest. Clearly, the battle just now had been the first time since coming to this world that he had ended up in such a state.
Ever since awakening his martial soul, not to mention peers—even those decades older had never been his match. But today, in a one-on-one fight, he had fallen into a disadvantage for the first time.
"We're fine."
Yu Yuanzhen and Bibi Dong both shook their heads, indicating it was nothing serious. After all, they hadn't been the main force in the battle just now.
"Right."
After speaking, Yu Yuanzhen could no longer hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked, "What exactly is going on with Tang San? How can he possess such terrifying power?"
Beside him, Bibi Dong also had a puzzled expression. Clearly, she too didn't understand the situation just now.
Not long ago, Tang San had only been a Spirit Douluo, yet in such a short time, he now wielded power on par with a God King. This kind of speed was simply incomprehensible.
"It's because of the universe's first trace of darkness."
Facing their curiosity, Kong didn't conceal anything. He explained calmly, "The thing attached to Tang San is the very first trace of darkness born since the creation of the universe. At its peak, its combat power surpassed all the current gods combined. I don't know how those two came into contact or why they're working together, but I suspect it won't be long before they make a major move."
"Then what should we do?" Bibi Dong asked, her face filled with concern.
A battle at that level was no longer something a first-level god like her could intervene in. The most she could do was handle small troubles and assist within her capacity.
As for the final confrontation, it would definitely fall to the God Kings.
"Let's go back and discuss it. In any case, they won't be able to stir up any waves for now."
After speaking, Kong glanced into the distance, paused for a moment, and then vanished from the spot.
Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen and Bibi Dong quickly followed and left the area.
Upon returning to the Spirit Hall, the first thing that came into view was Qian Renxue's stunningly beautiful but worried face.
"What just happened?"
As soon as her beloved returned, Qian Renxue rushed forward and looked him over. Only after confirming he wasn't injured did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Kong shook his head helplessly. With no other choice, he explained what had just happened all over again.
"The universe's first trace of darkness?"
Upon hearing this name, Qian Renxue furrowed her delicate brows. She couldn't understand it either. How could Tang San have come into contact with such an existence?
Logically, wouldn't such a powerful being either crush Tang San like an ant or completely ignore him?
In the past, Tang San at least had some qualifications—his twin martial souls and the backing of a titled Douluo father were undeniable advantages.
But now, his father was dead, and even his twin martial souls had become useless. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out what that powerful being saw in Tang San.
"That's right."
Kong nodded slightly and said indifferently, "But you don't need to worry too much. What's most important right now is for you to inherit the God of Angels' divinity. As for the troubles ahead, leave them to us."
"That's true."
Qian Renxue paused for a moment, then let out a bitter smile as she nodded in agreement.
Even someone as powerful as Kong—a God King—was unable to defeat that entity even while it was heavily injured. So what was the point in her worrying?
She might as well focus on inheriting the Angel God's divinity first and see if she could offer any help later on.
With that, the two made their way to the Hall of Worship, preparing for the return of the Angel God who had vanished for ten thousand years.
With the help of Qian Daoliu and Kong, a brilliant golden light descended upon Qian Renxue.
Soon, both the color of her spirit rings and the fluctuation of her aura began to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the moment when daylight fully broke, a terrifying surge of soul power swept through all of Spirit City. Immediately after, a massive illusory figure of an angel appeared in the sky. Its dazzling golden radiance illuminated everything for dozens of miles around.
At the same time, whether it was Bibi Dong—already the Rakshasa God—or the other worshippers in the Hall of Worship, they all rose into the air.
Seeing that golden figure, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke with great excitement, "She did it! The young miss has succeeded!"
Within all of Spirit Hall, aside from Qian Daoliu, no one was more loyal to the Angel Clan than this ninety-eighth ranked second consecrated worshipper, Golden Crocodile Douluo. As shown in the original story, he had been willing to risk his life for Qian Renxue, a testament to his devotion.
Under everyone's watchful gaze, a white jade staircase appeared before the golden angel projection. Along both sides of the steps stood statues of angels—and traces of shadowy power.
Qian Renxue wore a long golden dress, knee-high gilt boots, and three pairs of golden wings fluttered behind her as she slowly walked toward the end of the staircase.
"Xue'er, go forward! Your accomplishments will far surpass your grandfather's. You will become the supreme Angel God, bringing divinity and light once again to all of Douluo Continent!"
In the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu shouted. His voice trembled with excitement, too overwhelming to hide.
Since the previous Angel God ascended to the God Realm, none of the descendants had ever passed the Nine Angel Trials. And now, this miracle had appeared in his own granddaughter. Just one step away from bringing the ancestral Angel God back to this world—such feelings could not be understood by anyone else.
"Fufufu… Darkness is far purer than light. If you're willing, we can become the Dark Main God right now."
At that moment, a familiar and seductive voice rang out.
It was Dark Qian Renxue—she had not vanished.
As long as light exists in this world, darkness will never disappear. This is a law no one can change.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, but did not slow her steps in the slightest under the temptation.
She continued walking until she reached the end of the staircase, her silhouette gradually merging with the angelic figure.
Bathed in golden light, all present—except Kong and Bibi Dong, who had reached the divine realm—could no longer look up at her.
A few moments later, the angelic figure suddenly shattered, and an even more radiant figure appeared high in the sky. Golden light swept across hundreds of miles.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others were stunned. The overwhelming divine pressure forced them back thousands of meters—they didn't dare meet the Angel God's gaze directly.
This was the difference between gods and mortals. Even the weakest deity could not be matched by spirit masters, let alone a god position ranked among the top of the first-level gods—such as the one inherited by Qian Renxue.
