Chapter 387: Gods Can Also Fall
"Kong, what's going on?"
Qian Renxue was completely confused and asked instinctively.
Qian Daoliu was also surprised. What was going on with his grandson-in-law?
The ninth trial of the Angel God—how did it turn out like this?
God Realm, Poseidon's residence.
Poseidon looked at the person before him and couldn't help but tremble. When did this guy come to the God Realm?
Normally, when a god is summoned to the God Realm, it's a significant event. Yet he had arrived without a single word!
"Thunder God King, you—"
Kong looked calmly at the "imposing" Sea God Poseidon and said, "Hand over the inheritance of the Angel God to me."
Hearing this, Poseidon was stunned. Wasn't the inheritor of the Angel God Kong's wife?
The ninth trial was just about to begin. Why was Kong suddenly asking about the inheritance?
How could Kong not ask?
If Poseidon hadn't been sensible, Kong would have slain a god today just to prove a point!
It was precisely because he didn't trust Poseidon that he came to take control of the Angel God's divine position.
After the Angel God fell in battle, that power had remained in the hands of her "friend" Poseidon. Poseidon had also maintained the Angel God's statue for all these years.
Without the power of a main god to sustain it, the Angel God's statue wouldn't just fail to gather faith—it would've collapsed entirely!
A main god is a first-level deity.
"Oh…"
After a moment of thought, Poseidon finally handed over the Angel God's divine position. He hadn't had any other intentions—he was just dazed.
He had originally planned to give it directly to Qian Renxue anyway.
One day in the God Realm equals one year in the mortal world.
Even though Kong didn't waste time talking to Poseidon, half a day had already passed on the Douluo Continent.
That was also why the ninth trial had shown no reaction for so long.
Back to the main topic.
"The Angel God fell in a great battle long ago."
The moment those words came out, Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu both trembled, their expressions filled with shock!
The Angel God had already fallen?
"Her divine position had been sustained all this time by her friend, the Sea God Poseidon."
"Now that Xue'er has the qualifications to become a god, he has decided to return the divine position to you…"
Kong spoke calmly and steadily.
However, he still spared Poseidon's dignity and didn't call him the Angel God's lapdog...
"Our ancestor has fallen…"
"The divine position was in Sea God Poseidon's hands…"
Qian Daoliu was completely stunned!
He wasn't familiar with other gods, nor did he understand them.
But the Sea God—he knew that one!
"Even gods… can fall?"
In that moment, Qian Daoliu's faith began to collapse. The one he had believed in… had already died long ago…
"Of course gods can die."
"Gods are just powerful beings—or powerful people."
"In the eyes of mortals, they may seem no different from true gods."
"But when they encounter even stronger gods, they can still be wounded… still die."
"Even Demon Gods can fall one day—let alone ordinary gods…"
Kong did not say the last sentence out loud, but it was what he thought in his heart.
Taking advantage of the moment, he quietly left the God Realm again and returned to the Douluo Continent.
This scene left Poseidon utterly baffled.
Good heavens. No wonder he was the Thunder God King and the inheritor of the Asura God's position—he came and went from the God Realm as he pleased…
Even Asura himself couldn't act this arrogantly!
Normally, once a god enters the God Realm, they can't move freely like Kong—unless they relinquish their divine position, only then can they leave.
And even then, they cannot casually use their divine power to interfere in the lower realm!
This is a rule set by the God Realm Committee. Not even the Kind God King or Evil God King can easily violate it.
Unless it concerns the survival of the God Realm itself, even if they discover remnants of the Dragon God, they are forbidden to act against the lower realm.
Silver Dragon King and Di Tian believed they had hidden themselves well, but with the Douluo Continent being the most important and deeply connected lower plane to the Douluo God Realm, how could they escape divine notice?
It wasn't that the gods hadn't discovered them—only that they weren't allowed to act!
Unless the Silver Dragon King attacks the God Realm, only then can the God Realm take action!
Is this truly the God Realm Committee's regulation?
This was an agreement made back then between the Dragon God, the two God Kings, and the three Divine Enforcers!
Unless the Dragon God returns to his position, soul beasts may not become gods, and the God Realm may not interfere with the human world.
This is also why, no matter how gifted soul beasts may be, they still cannot attain godhood.
It was a rule personally set by the Dragon God—he truly meant to trap his own kind!
The scene shifted. Kong returned to the Douluo Continent and soon arrived at the Angel Temple.
"Kong!"
"Xue'er!"
The two embraced, leaving Qian Daoliu nearby feeling a little awkward...
He had already been subjected to Tang Chen and Bo Saixi's public affection earlier—fine.
Now even his granddaughter and her husband were putting on a show.
"Kong, what did you mean earlier?"
After a while, Qian Renxue finally raised her head and asked.
"Very simple. I wanted to give you all a surprise…"
"Uh… Kong, that was more like a fright!"
Qian Renxue said helplessly. Her ancestor had already passed away—what surprise could there be in that?
"The surprise I mentioned wasn't about the first Angel God. Old man, wouldn't you agree?"
Kong smirked with a devilish charm, lips slightly curved as he turned to look at Qian Daoliu.
"..."
Qian Daoliu fell silent.
Qian Renxue didn't quite understand.
After a moment, Qian Daoliu nodded and said, "It seems I won't need to sacrifice myself to open the Angel inheritance ground."
"???"
Qian Renxue was completely confused. What was her grandfather talking about?
Sacrifice?
Was it the same kind of sacrifice she was thinking of?
"Grandfather, you…"
"Xiaoxue, Grandfather never wanted to tell you because I was afraid it would affect your god trial…"
"If the trial required your life to activate, I'd rather give it up!"
"You see, Xiaoxue, you're still this stubborn. How could Grandfather dare to tell you such a thing…"
Qian Daoliu said with some helplessness. He understood Qian Renxue too well—there was no way he could tell her in advance.
If she ended up refusing the trial or deliberately abandoning it, she would die!
The god trials are not as simple as imagined. If you fail, you die!
Tang Chen had only failed because he was disrupted during the final fusion with the divine position. Still, that wasn't quite a failure.
It was just that the fusion period had gone on too long, and his body could no longer withstand the power of the Asura God, which led to collapse.
He didn't truly fail—it was simply that his body couldn't handle it.
Only when he handed over the Asura Demon Sword did it count as true failure.
"Um… Xue'er, old man, how about we eat first? Then tomorrow, once Xue'er's state is stabilized, she can resume the fusion with the Angel God position?"
This argument wasn't going anywhere. Qian Daoliu didn't think he was wrong, and Qian Renxue gradually felt guilty.
She had already lost her father, her mother didn't love her, and now her grandfather had nearly left her too…
