"Ah—, Xiao Bai, you can't play favorites like that." Oscar was sent out of the Circular Sea by an undercurrent, crashing heavily onto the beach. The sudden pain throughout his body almost made him faint, and he couldn't help but complain loudly.
Following him, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and others were also sent out of the Circular Sea one after another.
"You lecherous man, this granny has already been very polite to you." Xiao Bai's shark head emerged from the Circular Sea, speaking human words towards Oscar.
Shi Quan, who had just landed, saw this scene and couldn't help but show a smile.
"Shi Quan!" The crowd on the shore saw Shi Quan's figure and quickly waved in greeting.
Shi Quan raised his hand in gratitude, his Spirit Sense spreading out to connect with everyone, informing them that he was about to leave Sea God Island. He also meticulously detailed the strengths and abilities of each Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo to them. Shi Quan was unsure when he would return to Sea God Island.
This was also another deeper meaning behind Shi Quan challenging the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo; it would give them more reliance when they challenged the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo later.
After promising Xiao Bai that he would teach her that special Qi method upon his return, Shi Quan and Gu Yuena bid farewell to everyone, rose into the air, and ascended.
Waves crashed, and the sea rolled. Looking back at the increasingly small Sea God Island, the two flew further and further away.
"Is this the Power of Faith?"
As Shi Quan got closer to the continent, he could feel special streams of power continually emerging from the direction of the continent, merging into his body, and finally gathering in his Dragon Spine.
Gu Yuena said in surprise, "Where did your external Spirit Bone come from? It can actually absorb Power Of Faith?"
Shi Quan only felt warm currents gathering in his spine, and an indescribable sense of comfort spread throughout his entire body.
"This external Spirit Bone wasn't obtained by me hunting Spirit Beasts; rather, I acquired it by chance from a corpse." Shi Quan explained casually; Of course, he couldn't say it was a System reward.
"I have to say your luck is truly good." Gu Yuena also couldn't help but sigh, "This Spirit Bone of yours can help you gather and absorb the Power Of Faith. With its help, the Power Of Faith's assistance to you can increase by at least 20%."
"Although Power Of Faith belongs to the power of belief, it can also be considered a type of divine force. After this Spirit Bone absorbs enough Power Of Faith, it will not only transform into a Divine Artifact but also nourish your body. Coupled with your other external Spirit Bone, your body should reach the Divine Rank level first."
"There's also this benefit?" Shi Quan's eyes lit up.
"Power Of Faith is not that simple. Once your external Spirit Bone completely absorbs this Power Of Faith, you will naturally experience its profound mysteries."
Gu Yuena's face showed joy. As a partner, the stronger Shi Quan was, the greater his help to her would be, and she was naturally happier.
"Faith? Is this the correct way to unlock the Human Emperor's Bone?" Shi Quan secretly pondered.
The Human Emperor is the Emperor of the Human Race, receiving the power of worship from the Human Race, a Supreme leader who guides the Human Race to its peak.
From another perspective, isn't the Human Emperor also the leader worshipped by humanity?
Thinking this way, it was normal for the Dragon Spine to be able to absorb Power Of Faith.
As they drew closer, Shi Quan could feel the Dragon Spine on his back becoming increasingly hot. Warm currents spread out from the Dragon Spine, then merged into his limbs and bones, constantly stimulating his body. Even the Spirit Bone within his body was affected by this power. Several different auras converged within Shi Quan's body, flowing into the Dragon Spine and then overflowing from the Dragon Spine, returning to the Spirit Bone, as if in a cycle.
"The Spirit Bone has actually strengthened?" Shi Quan's heart trembled. The Power Of Faith within the Dragon Spine was slowly strengthening the Spirit Bone within his body!
Although the strengthening effect was very weak, Shi Quan still keenly noticed the change in the Spirit Bone.
"No wonder Gu Yuena said that Power Of Faith can also be considered a type of divine force; only divine force can achieve such a miraculous effect, right? I wonder if Power Of Faith has any other effects."
The hot sensation quickly subsided, and the continuously flowing Power Of Faith gradually disappeared.
"To have this much Power Of Faith in a year is already very good, enough to prove the influence of your words in the Human World."
"Once you Break through to Titled Douluo, with your ability, you'll be able to open up your own special space. When you create the Underworld space, the Power Of Faith will increase even faster then."
Gu Yuena was clearly very satisfied with the current progress.
"Soon!"
Shi Quan nodded slightly.
After arriving at the continent, Gu Yuena returned to the Star Dou Great Forest first, while Shi Quan went directly to Heaven Dou City.
Heaven Dou City.
Shi Quan first returned to his courtyard, but he did not see Dugu Bo's figure.
Not finding Dugu Bo, Shi Quan immediately turned and went to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
"Quick, report to Your Majesty, Prince Shi is here." As soon as Shi Quan arrived outside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, the guards inside the Imperial Palace immediately rushed to report.
Now that Qian Renxue was the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, if Shi Quan wanted to meet her, he could do so openly and grandly, with no need to hide anything.
Led by the guards, Shi Quan quickly arrived outside a side hall within the Imperial Palace.
The guard respectfully said, "Your Highness, Prince, Your Majesty has commanded to only see you alone. We guards can only escort you this far. Your Majesty is inside the hall."
Shi Quan nodded and walked into the side hall. The side hall was very quiet, without any maids or guards.
"You've arrived." Qian Renxue's slightly tired voice echoed in the side hall.
Seeing this, Shi Quan chuckled and asked, "Why the troubled look? What's wrong? Is the purge of Spirit Masters not going smoothly?"
"Node." Qian Renxue shook her head.
"Then what are you worried about?" Shi Quan asked, puzzled.
Qian Renxue's eyes held a hint of confusion. She leaned back against the chair and, after a long moment, slowly said, "If your closest person killed the person you loved most, what would you do?"
"Analyze the specific situation." Shi Quan slowly said, "So, did your mother kill your father?"
Qian Renxue showed a bitter smile, "You are indeed very clever. You guessed the answer based on just one question from me."
"Did your grandfather tell you?"
That's right.
"Why did your mother kill your father? Did he tell you?"
At this point, Shi Quan couldn't help but complain a bit. In the original work, Qian Daoliu only told Qian Renxue that Qian Xunji died at Bibi Dong's hands when he sacrificed himself. Not only did he tell her, but he also didn't say how Qian Xunji treated Bibi Dong, only that Bibi Dong loved her, and he advised Qian Renxue not to make things difficult for Bibi Dong.
He wondered if it was because Qian Daoliu also found Qian Xunji's actions truly unspeakable, which was why he spoke so ambiguously. Was he truly not afraid of the mother and daughter turning against each other…?
