Boom!
Bibi Dong's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's hearts.
Unify the continent!
This is an ambition that the Spirit Hall has never declared so openly before!
But at this moment, with the angel god ranking fifth on the list of the best, these words seem so natural and so righteous!
On the other hand, Tang San had just suffered a crushing defeat and was driven to madness by jealousy, making the difference in their strength immediately apparent.
In an instant, the morale of the Tiandou Allied Forces plummeted to rock bottom.
Many Soul Masters from small kingdoms and sects have begun to have their eyes gleaming and their minds starting to race.
Perhaps... surrendering to the Spirit Empire is the real way out?
...
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The atmosphere inside the council hall was terribly oppressive.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the spirited Bibi Dong in front of Jialing Pass and the frenzied Tang San by the deep pit on the soul guidance screen, and the struggle on his face became more and more intense.
"metropolitan..."
Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, had a somewhat hoarse voice.
"That kid Tang San has gone mad."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin held his Seven Kill Sword, closed his eyes and remained silent, but the slightly trembling scabbard betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
Ning Fengzhi let out a long sigh.
"Uncle Bone, do you think... we made the wrong choice from the very beginning?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Rong trembled, but did not refute it.
Yeah, did I choose the wrong one?
Tang San, once humble, resilient, and loyal, was the perfect investment target.
But the current Tang San is stubborn, arrogant, and tyrannical. How is he any different from a tyrant?
More importantly, he lost.
However, the Spirit Hall possesses the Angel God, who ranks fifth on the Golden List!
The balance of this war has been devastatingly tilted.
"But... Rongrong, she..."
Gu Rong thought of Ning Rongrong, who was still by Tang San's side, and her words were full of worry.
A resolute glint flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
"Dust in the heart".
"exist."
Sword Douluo opened his eyes.
"What do you think of Mr. Tang Chen, the man on the Jialing Pass tower?"
Ning Fengzhi's words stunned both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Tang Chen!
That mysterious man!
It was he who defeated Tang San, who held two godhoods, in a single move!
It was he who had a close relationship with the newly promoted angel goddess Qian Renxue!
Chen Xin remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Unfathomable".
"When I stood in front of him, I felt…like a mortal looking up at the stars, unable to even muster the courage to draw my sword."
This is a swordsman's highest praise for another supreme expert.
Ning Fengzhi nodded, as if he had made up his mind.
"Pass down the order."
"The sect has entered the highest alert level, but... it will not send a single soldier to Jialing Pass."
"Sect Master, this..."
"We... will not obey Tang San's orders."
Ning Fengzhi's tone was light, but it carried immense weight.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is rebelling!
"We need a new option."
Ning Fengzhi's gaze drifted towards the direction of Jialing Pass, as if piercing through endless space, landing on the figure standing calmly atop the city wall.
...
Jialing Pass, city gate tower.
Tang Chen paid no attention to any of the disturbances below.
His gaze was fixed gently on the three characters "Qian Renxue" on the Heavenly Dao Golden List, a faint smile playing on his lips.
My thoughts drifted back to many years ago.
Back then, the Starry Sky Forest wasn't as tense as it is now.
The core area of the Lake of Life is not a forbidden zone for all soul beasts.
A girl with knee-length blonde hair, an exquisitely beautiful face, and eyes that held an innate arrogance and confusion, stepped into the most dangerous area of this forest in order to complete the test of the gods.
She encountered the biggest crisis of her life.
A dark demonic tiger with nearly 700,000 years of cultivation blocked her path.
At that time, although she was already a titled Douluo, she still seemed incredibly insignificant in front of such a ferocious beast.
A fight to the death with no suspense whatsoever.
She lost.
Just as the Dark Demon Tiger's claws were about to pierce her heart...
A gentle voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"Little tiger, you've crossed the line."
Accompanied by the sound, a giant Qilin claw formed from light and shadow descended from the sky, effortlessly pressing the arrogant Dark Demon Evil God Tiger into the ground, rendering it unable to move.
Qian Renxue will never forget that scene.
She looked up and saw a man.
He emerged from the center of the Lake of Life, his body devoid of any soul power fluctuations, yet he seemed to be the sole ruler of this world.
He is Tang Chen.
A sacred Qilin of light and darkness that has lived for countless years.
Their story began from that moment.
He neither killed her nor drove her away.
He simply told her that she had gone down the wrong path.
"The god in your heart is not faith, but a shackle."
"The power you inherit is not a blessing, but a constraint."
He instructed her on what true light and true divinity were.
He accompanied her, watching the sunrises and sunsets in the Starry Sky Forest, feeling the pulse of all living things.
Without her realizing it, her heart was completely captured by this mysterious and gentle man.
The mark of the Spirit Hall on her body, the shackles of the Angel God, were peeled away layer by layer.
Instead, there is a real, complete, and vibrant Qianrenxue.
Her transformation was a natural progression.
When she truly understands her own path and no longer regards angels as a faith, but rather as a power that can be controlled, her divine position will naturally descend upon her.
This is the real reason why she was able to rank fifth on the gold list.
Tang Chen snapped out of his thoughts, his smile widening.
"Xiaoxue, well done."
"Next, it's my turn."
...
Within the Heavenly Dou Alliance camp.
After a brief period of chaos and shock, Master Yu Xiaogang forced himself to calm down and began to analyze the situation.
"Don't panic, everyone!"
His voice was amplified and transmitted throughout the entire army via the soul guide device.
"Qian Renxue's rise to fifth place on the gold list is indeed terrifying. But it also proves something from another angle!"
Everyone turned to look at him.
A glint of wisdom shone in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
"Qian Renxue is Tang Chen's partner! This has already been confirmed by previous intelligence!"
"Since she's only fifth, it means that Tang Chen's strength must also have a limit!"
"He might be fourth, or even third! But he can never be invincible!"
"As long as we regroup and Tang San regains his divine power, we may not be without the ability to fight!"
These words were like a shot in the arm, rekindling a glimmer of hope in many desperate soldiers.
Yes, a god who ranks fifth on the list is better than an enemy who is completely unknown and unpredictable.
The Shrek members listened and felt that there was some truth to it, which put them at ease.
However, they will never know how ridiculous their reasoning is in the eyes of certain beings.
