Chapter 337: The Lord Arrives
After unleashing her divine power and showcasing the might of the Angel God to the world while conveniently gathering the faith of the people Qian Renxue had finally stabilized her newfound strength. For a newly ascended deity like her, faith energy was an excellent supplement, effectively filling the gaps in her power. Compared to simply absorbing the ambient energy of the world, faith energy was far superior.
The current Douluo Continent had an energy level far too low to properly sustain a god. While she could still replenish her strength by absorbing it, it provided no substantial benefits let alone helping her break through to higher realms. Only when the Abyssal Demons invaded in the future, and Douluo absorbed the energy contained within their corpses, would the world itself undergo evolution, eventually surpassing even the Divine Realm in energy density.
At that time, she would abandon faith energy entirely.
But for now, it remained a crucial foundation.
Descending slowly from the sky, Qian Renxue folded her six wings. As she gazed at the now empty Elder Hall, she couldn't help but think of her grandfather, who had sacrificed himself for her ascension. And more than that she remembered the truth he had revealed before his death.
Now that she had become a god, she could no longer suppress her curiosity. She needed to uncover the truth.
Why had Bibi Dong her own mother hated her so much?
In the past, she had assumed Bibi Dong's resentment stemmed from a lust for power, that she saw Qian Renxue as an obstacle in her path.
But now, she wasn't so sure.
There had to be a deeper reason.
A reason so unspeakable that even her grandfather hesitated to reveal it. A reason so grave that despite knowing Bibi Dong murdered her father, he had still chosen to spare her.
Even if his decision was influenced by Qian Renxue herself, the situation was far from normal.
Without further hesitation, Qian Renxue retracted her divine armor, transforming it into ordinary clothing. She suppressed her overwhelming power, using this as an opportunity to adjust to her newfound strength. After sensing Bibi Dong's location, she transformed into a golden streak of light and rushed toward her mother, eager to resolve the questions that had haunted her for years.
However
When she finally arrived, what she saw left her stunned.
Not far away, a peaceful and harmonious scene unfolded before her eyes.
The man with whom she had barely interacted in reality was now walking side by side with her own mother and daughter, as if they were a complete family.
Bibi Dong and Ye Cheng stood on either side of little Klee, each holding one of her small hands as they strolled leisurely, engaged in lively conversation.
The serene atmosphere, the genuine smiles, the warmth
It was a picture perfect family moment.
Qian Renxue felt her teeth grinding together in frustration.
She remembered her divine trial
The final illusion she had seen before her ascension was Ye Cheng holding their daughter.
For someone like her, who had never known parental love, the idea of a complete family held a special, irreplaceable significance.
And now
Someone else had taken her place.
Worse that person was her mother.
The very woman who had always opposed her, who had never treated her as a daughter.
A surge of rage and bitterness overwhelmed her.
Even worse Klee had recognized Bibi Dong as her mother but had not even acknowledged Qian Renxue.
Was there anything more infuriating than this?
At this moment, even the joy of becoming a god was nearly erased by the scene before her.
Why was Ye Cheng here?
Why was he so close to Bibi Dong?
Since when had Spirit Hall and this man become so intertwined?
They should have had nothing to do with each other!
Qian Renxue couldn't understand it at all.
Some time earlier…
While Qian Renxue was still undergoing her divine ascension, Spirit City welcomed an unexpected guest.
Due to the sudden appearance of a god level demon, the city had suffered heavy losses. Large portions of its architecture lay in ruins, though fortunately, casualties were minimal most people had fled in time.
Now that the demon had been slain, people had begun returning to rebuild the city. The scene was bustling with activity as spirit masters specializing in construction used their soul abilities to rapidly restore buildings.
In the midst of all this, a lone figure in white robes leisurely wandered through Spirit City.
It was Ye Cheng.
He had only been strolling for a short while before he encountered Bibi Dong, who was overseeing the reconstruction efforts hand in hand with Klee.
The moment their gazes met
Ye Cheng remained calm and indifferent.
Bibi Dong, on the other hand, visibly tensed.
Because she recognized him.
This man was Klee's father.
Why was he here?
Had he come to take Klee away?
No wait.
Even if he was here for Klee, how did he even know she was here?
They had gone to great lengths to keep Klee's existence a secret.
Outside of Spirit Hall's highest ranking members, no one should have known about her.
And even if word had somehow leaked, it had only been three days since Klee arrived from the future far too short a time for the news to have spread beyond their control.
Bibi Dong's thoughts raced.
Her grip on Klee's hand instinctively tightened.
A small, soft voice immediately protested beside her.
"Mama, you're hurting me~"
Only then did she snap out of her daze, quickly loosening her grip. She immediately examined Klee's hand, relieved to find no injury.
Across from her, Ye Cheng suddenly spoke.
"It seems my intuition was correct."
"That strange connection… So time travel truly is possible."
"Bibi Dong, shall we have a conversation?"
He addressed her casually, his tone devoid of reverence.
"…Miss?"
Hearing him call her that, Bibi Dong's expression became odd.
How long had it been since anyone addressed her like that?
Ever since she had become the Supreme Pontiff, everyone had spoken to her with respect no one had ever spoken to her so informally.
And besides she was now almost sixty years old.
For a normal person, she would have long since become an old woman.
Only due to her immense cultivation and semi divine body did she retain the youthful appearance of a woman in her early twenties.
Still being addressed as "Miss" felt… strange.
At that moment, Klee suddenly tugged on her hand, leaning close to whisper in her ear.
"Mama~ That uncle feels really familiar! Did I know him when I was little?"
Her innocent words made Bibi Dong freeze.
In an instant, she understood.
There was only one possible explanation.
A direct blood connection had drawn him here.
As a peak level powerhouse, Ye Cheng would naturally sense it the moment his own daughter appeared in this timeline.
