Shui Bing'er and the other two girls exchanged glances, a trace of excitement and anticipation flashing in their eyes. They had all heard of the prosperity of Spirit City and its lofty status on the continent. As top-tier geniuses, they were always filled with curiosity toward things that were novel and full of challenges...
They were also well aware of the terrifying power of Spirit Hall, a monstrous soul master organization possessing more than fifteen Title Douluo and two peerless Douluo. It was a sharp sword hanging over the continent, and currently, the force most likely to actively start a war in the future.
Although Heaven Dou City was likewise prosperous, compared to Spirit City, it simply could not compare in many aspects. This was no longer merely a gap in strength; it involved deeper things that could no longer be explained purely by human power.
Only Lan Fozi stared at everyone curiously. She had only recently arrived in the human world, and no one had deliberately explained these matters to her, so she did not understand them very well.
A hint of delight flashed in You Mengchu's eyes. Then she smiled and said:
"Then it's settled. In a few days, we'll all go to Spirit City together. You absolutely can't go back on your word..."
Shen Hanyu nodded, then continued:
"Actually, even if Spirit Hall weren't doing this, we would still have to visit Spirit City sooner or later. Everyone here more or less knows something about the gods. The thousand-year lineage of the Qian family that holds power in Spirit Hall possesses the true Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul inherited from the gods, a powerful Martial Soul that has truly stepped into the godly level and possesses pure divinity. It can even allow some exceptionally talented inheritors to possess innate soul power exceeding the full twenty levels of innate full soul power..."
"A family with an inheritance from the gods, naturally, the divine inheritance cannot be easily severed. Spirit Hall still preserves the inheritance of a first-level god, the Angel God. It is currently a first-level divine trial, just like mine..."
Everyone looked at each other, surprise and a trace of realization flashing in their eyes. After gradually coming into contact with these seemingly absurd matters and viewing Spirit Hall from a fresh perspective, they could indeed discover many things that didn't add up.
Shen Hanyu took Snow Empress's teacup, gently sipped some tea, then continued:
"Good and evil coexist. Alongside the representative of light and holiness, the Six-Winged Angel stands its counterpart: extreme evil and malevolence. That is the god inherited by the current Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, likewise a first-level god, the Rakshasa God."
Shock flashed through everyone's eyes. The fact that Spirit Hall possessed one divine inheritance was already astonishing enough, but now being told that Spirit Hall possessed two divine inheritances of the same level, how could they possibly remain calm?
You Mengchu rubbed her brow, somewhat helplessly saying:
"The people on your continent are really perverse. I originally thought that stories of becoming a god at rank 100 only existed in tales. I never expected that first it was you, and now it's Spirit Hall. So this kind of story can actually happen right beside me one day..."
Shen Liuyu also asked with some worry:
"Brother, if it's really no good, how about we don't go? Right now, I suddenly feel like Spirit City is a hell, just waiting for us to jump in ourselves..."
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er also nodded, expressing their concern.
Snow Empress's brows furrowed slightly, but seeing Shen Hanyu's unchanged expression, they relaxed again.
Looking at everyone's somewhat dejected appearances, Shen Hanyu smiled lightly and said:
"Don't be so down. The reason I've revealed these deeper matters to you bit by bit is so that one day, when you face such a situation yourselves, you can stay calm and seize the opportunity."
"We are fortunate to be born in this era. As long as your talent is outstanding enough, you can go all out and fight for it. Opportunities are left for those who are prepared..."
"The road ahead has not been completely cut off. Taking one step is a path; taking two steps is also a path. Moreover, there were originally no paths in the world; only when many people walk does a path gradually form..."
Shen Liuyu's eyes lit up. Then she said:
"Brother, do you mean that all of us here have the chance to pursue this so-called godhood?"
Shen Hanyu raised one finger and gently shook it, then smiled and said:
"No, no, no, not pursue. To be honest with you all, ranks 70 and 90 are two key points. If you're lucky, you won't even need to painstakingly search; the divine trial will come find you on its own..."
A trace of delight flashed in the eyes of everyone present. It seemed their interest in cultivation had risen another level...
...
When almost everyone had left, Snow Empress moved to sit beside Shen Hanyu and said softly:
"What you said today seems to have some issues."
Shen Hanyu looked at Snow Empress, then buried his head in her embrace and said softly:
"Sorry, there are many things I still can't explain to you right now. When the time is right later, I'll tell you, okay?"
Snow Empress stretched out a hand to stroke Shen Hanyu's head, then gently nodded.
Shen Hanyu let out a light laugh, then continued:
"Last time at sea, Bo Saixi's sudden change in attitude already made me realize that the Divine Realm's stance seems to have undergone some unknown shift."
"The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was the set content of the Sea God's eighth trial. Yet now he let us take away the entire Deep Sea Demonic Whale King family so easily, from beginning to end, without the slightest intent to obstruct..."
Snow Empress slightly furrowed her brows. She understood Shen Hanyu's special nature and naturally knew how extremely difficult it would be for Shen Hanyu to successfully become a god.
"Is it a scheme of the gods?"
"No, that's not right. If it were a scheme, that pearl would surely have reacted..."
Snow Empress easily overturned her own guess.
Shen Hanyu pinched Snow Empress's snow-white cheek, then slightly organized his words and said softly:
"An aging lion king has already chosen a young lion to inherit his position. That young lion is young and full of potential, having received almost all of the lion king's cultivation and emphasis, and it can also bring sufficient benefits to the pride."
"But due to some factors even the lion king cannot control, another young lion with even greater talent and more astonishing potential has accidentally joined the pride. However, this young lion seems to have some uncontrollable issues. The lion king cannot clearly distinguish the pros and cons, so he hesitates and wavers between his already decided choice and the brand-new one. In the end, unable to make a perfect decision, the lion king lets the two young lions fight it out themselves. The final victor will be crowned by the lion king as the heir and then nurtured, ultimately becoming the 'qualified' successor in the old lion king's eyes..."
As his words fell, the blue pearl in Shen Hanyu's sea of consciousness suddenly trembled, as if responding to something...
Snow Empress remained silent for a long time after listening, only looking at Shen Hanyu with complicated eyes. Then she slowly lay down in Shen Hanyu's embrace, enjoying the warmth and love that gave her an incomparable sense of security...
