Chapter 168: Assessment Content Changed, Chu Chen Has Become the Emperor??
Qiu'er's mood instantly turned from cloudy to sunny as she happily took Gu Yuena's hand. However, since they were still some distance from Heaven Dou City, Gu Yuena used her spatial traversal ability.
She took Chu Chen and the others back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
"Gu Yue, you can stay too and experience this human World," Chu Chen said with a smile, extending an invitation to Gu Yuena.
"Um..."
Gu Yuena paused for a moment before ultimately refusing.
After all, her identity was at stake, and more importantly, the God Realm was still watching the Douluo Continent. If she wandered around freely, she might attract the God Realm's attention. Therefore...
It was better to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Master, the human World is very fun," Qiu'er said with a giggle.
"If I have the chance, I will come and take a look."
Gu Yuena said softly, intending to bid everyone farewell. Her eyes flickered as she looked at Chu Chen and said, "Take care. See you next time."
"See you next time."
As he watched Gu Yuena leave, a deep voice suddenly echoed in Chu Chen's mind, clearly coming from the God of Destruction.
"Chu Chen, the task for your third trial has changed. Within one year, destroy Slaughter City. The assessment rewards remain unchanged."
Chu Chen: "..."
???
Are God Trials so casual nowadays? You're telling me you can just change the assessment content??
"Senior, this... is a bit too hasty, isn't it?" Chu Chen responded in his heart.
"My God Trial is, of course, up to me."
After the God of Destruction finished speaking, there was no more sound, leaving a bewildered Chu Chen behind. At this moment, he felt that the God of Destruction was somewhat abusing his public office to settle a private grudge...
However, what Chu Chen didn't understand was this.
He had no direct grudge with the Slaughter King. To say it was because he killed the Nirvana Heavenly Dragon Horse? That clearly didn't make sense.
"Perhaps the Asura God is manipulating everything behind the scenes..."
Chu Chen speculated.
...
God Realm Committee.
As the God of Destruction passed by the Asura God, his face was as dark as water, and a trace of killing intent emerged!
The Asura God, who was also in the God King Realm...
Naturally sensed the killing intent coming from the God of Destruction clearly, and he was suddenly a bit confused.
He hadn't provoked the God of Destruction recently, had he?
Could it be that his interference in the Douluo Continent's affairs had been discovered?
That didn't seem right either...
If that were the case, the God of Destruction would have questioned him directly!
So the Asura God went to his own palace and used his Divine Sense to perform a deduction...
"Damn!"
The Asura God couldn't help but curse, "That damned Rakshasa God is trying to scheme against me."
"But that Tang Chen is truly useless. No wonder the God of Destruction has killing intent toward me..."
Meanwhile, in the palace of the God of Destruction...
"Rakshasa God... if I didn't want to keep you for Chu Chen to kill, I would have acted to destroy you long ago."
"But it's just as well. Having Chu Chen go and destroy the Asura God's Legacy site is a good thing."
This was the reason why Chu Chen's assessment suddenly changed. It was indeed a case of using public office for a private grudge, bar none...
And while the Rakshasa God thought everything was seamless...
She didn't realize that the God of Destruction was merely treating her as a whetstone for Chu Chen's godhood!
Chu Chen: "I [expletive] your [expletive]"
...
"To think such a thing happened. Are you three alright?"
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace...
Or perhaps it shouldn't be called the Imperial Palace anymore, because since Qian Renxue took control of the Heaven Dou Empire, the imperial family ceased to exist. What existed now was just a temporary management system with Qian Renxue as the highest administrator.
Fortunately, under her management...
Everything appeared orderly, and the lives of the people in Heaven Dou City had not changed!
Many things from that day had been covered up.
Therefore...
Most people only knew that Emperor Xue Ye had passed away from a serious illness and that Xue Qinghe had inherited his position.
Inside the palace, Chu Chen and Dugu Bo were sitting there.
Qian Renxue, Porcupinefish, and Snake Lance were sitting on the other side.
Dugu Bo was astonished upon hearing about the Slaughter King's pursuit of Chu Chen. Fortunately, nothing had happened to Chu Chen...
"The Slaughter King wouldn't leave Slaughter City for no reason to hunt you down. Perhaps someone..."
Qian Renxue speculated.
What she said was also what Chu Chen understood in his heart.
In any case, destroying Slaughter City had now become his assessment content, so perhaps after he broke through to become a Soul Douluo, it would be the day of Slaughter City's downfall!
However, before that...
He needed to become completely familiar with using the Scepter of Destruction and find a way to complete the missing Soul Rings for the Ancient Dragon of Destruction.
He still had one god-bestowed spirit ring that he hadn't absorbed yet.
"Chu Chen, if you need help, feel free to tell me."
Qian Renxue said seriously. If not for the help of Chu Chen and Dugu Bo, her plan would likely have failed...
"I would like to invite you two to serve as members of the current top management of the Heaven Dou Empire. If there are major matters, we will discuss them together. What do you think?"
Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised.
It seemed the grudge in his heart had faded a bit; it appeared that after Qian Renxue took over the Heaven Dou Empire, everything she did was quite decent.
However, he knew.
Chu Chen's future plan was to unify the entire Douluo Continent. Given his abilities, it shouldn't be hard to accomplish.
Therefore...
He seemed somewhat indifferent and ultimately agreed.
Chu Chen did not refuse either.
...
At night, Qian Renxue invited Chu Chen alone to a quiet back garden within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. It was very peaceful here, making it easy for one to relax.
"During this time, I have followed your suggestion and privately contacted some of the Lower Four Sects. In the end, only the Wind Sword Sect responded."
"The other three Sects must have been won over by Bibi Dong..."
Chu Chen remained silent; this was unavoidable.
"I will not compromise with her. Bibi Dong... I will definitely prove that I can manage Spirit Hall better."
Qian Renxue said with a somewhat stubborn expression.
Suddenly, she looked at Chu Chen and said mysteriously, "By the way, Chu Chen, I want to hand over the highest management rights of the Heaven Dou Empire to you."
"Huh?" Chu Chen was stunned. What was this about?
I've become the emperor??
"Grandfather was very happy to hear the news of my plan's success, but he hopes... that I shouldn't continue managing the Heaven Dou Empire here. Instead, I should return and embark on a path to godhood."
Qian Renxue sat down and spoke of recent events while chatting and laughing.
"I thought about it for a long time..."
"You are someone worthy of my trust. I feel very relieved handing management rights over to you. Of course, on the surface, I will use the identity of Xue Qinghe to provide cover for you. You don't need to worry about these things, because you also have your own path to godhood to walk."
Having offloaded this heavy responsibility, Qian Renxue seemed much more relaxed.
Becoming a god was her goal from now on!
Perhaps this was also to catch up with Chu Chen's footsteps.
"I know you want to unify the Douluo Continent. I support you, but... the Spirit Hall's Legacy cannot be broken. After the Douluo Continent is unified, I don't want to see Spirit Hall disappear."
