"My granddaughter has the potential to become a god!"
Qian Daoliu laughed loudly upon seeing Qian Renxue awaken such a pure six-winged angel martial soul.
He could sense that Qian Renxue's talent was extremely powerful, even surpassing his own in his youth.
"Six-winged angel..."
Bibi Dong clenched her fists instantly upon seeing Qian Renxue awaken such a powerful six-winged angel martial soul.
This martial soul brought her too many unpleasant memories.
"Grandpa...Mom, isn't Xiaoxue amazing? She didn't disappoint you."
Qian Renxue, regaining her senses, immediately ran over to the two of them, boasting.
Bibi Dong gave a few perfunctory words without expression, while Qian Daoliu laughed heartily, rubbing his forehead.
He took out a crystal ball to test it and discovered that Qian Renxue's innate soul power had actually reached a terrifying level 20 innate soul power.
"Xiaoxue, your talent is unparalleled in my life... Perhaps you truly have the potential to inherit a godhood in the future,"
Qian Daoliu said excitedly. Qian Renxue was overjoyed, as she had always considered herself extraordinary, feeling that everyone was inferior to her.
"Sigh... If only that child, Qian Renshang, were still alive.
You and he are siblings, perhaps his talent wouldn't be weaker than yours.
If both of you had grown up, my Qian family could have achieved unprecedented glory."
Qian Daoliu, seeing Qian Renxue's talent, subconsciously thought of his little grandson.
For three years, he had frantically searched for Qian Renshang using the power of the Spirit Hall.
He hadn't found Qian Renshang, but he had discovered a trace of him, which he had left in a direction far from the Spirit Hall.
He hadn't found Qian Renshang, but he also hadn't found his body.
At least Qian Renshang still had a chance of being alive.
Qian Renshang!
When Qian Daoliu mentioned this name, the atmosphere in the room clearly changed.
Bibi Dong's expression grew
even colder. Qian Renxue frowned directly.
"Grandpa... don't mention that guy anymore.
He left on his own.
If he could come back, he would have already... there's no point in bringing him up."
"Anyway, I'm the only heir of the Qian family now!"
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu with dissatisfaction, who was taken aback and quickly apologized.
He only had one granddaughter left, and Qian Daoliu had come to terms with it over the years.
With Qian Renshang gone, he could only raise Qian Renxue.
"Grandpa... I'm going to see Mom today."
Qian Renxue suddenly said to Qian Daoliu. Qian Daoliu was taken aback, only then remembering that it was time again.
Every now and then, Qian Renxue could spend some time with Bibi Dong.
Qian Daoliu was originally unwilling, but Qian Renxue's attitude was too firm, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.
"Bibi Dong... remember to take good care of Xiaoxue."
Qian Daoliu instructed Bibi Dong, who narrowed her eyes and said indifferently.
"I don't need your teaching!"
With that, he turned and left without looking back.
Qian Renxue immediately followed with a grin, like a devoted follower.
Qian Daoliu watched this scene with a helpless sigh. After a long silence, he entered the Angel Temple behind him.
Today, Xiaoxue awakened her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and possessed innate level 20 soul power.
Qian Daoliu wanted to see if the Angel God had any instructions; perhaps… Qian Renxue could acquire the qualification to inherit the Angel God's power from a young age.
Qian Daoliu walked steadily towards the Angel Temple.
The path leading to the temple was paved with pure white jade, flanked by tall stone pillars carved with exquisite angel patterns.
As Qian Daoliu stepped through the temple's gates, a solemn and majestic aura enveloped him.
The temple's interior was spacious and empty, sunlight streaming through the stained glass of the dome, creating a kaleidoscope of colors.
In the very center of the temple stood a colossal statue of an angel.
The angel statue, towering dozens of feet tall, was carved entirely from golden stone, radiating a dazzling light.
The angel's face was dignified and majestic, its eyes seemingly containing boundless wisdom and power.
Six pairs of wings spread behind the statue, each feather meticulously crafted, as if poised to take flight at any moment.
Qian Daoliu stopped before the statue, tilting his head slightly, his gaze filled with awe.
The statue's solemn and imposing aura made the entire space feel incredibly heavy, as if time itself had stood still.
Under the gaze of this angel statue, Qian Daoliu's figure appeared small and devout, quietly sensing the pressure and revelation emanating from the divine.
But the next moment!
Qian Daoliu's expression suddenly changed drastically.
"How...how is this possible?"
Because he saw that the incomparably majestic angel statue had actually...shattered, the crack extending from its forehead down its face to its neck, as if it had been slashed!
This was the angel statue, the most treasured possession of their Qian family, guarded for generations.
"Impossible... absolutely impossible. No one could bypass me and directly destroy the statue, unless..."
Qian Daoliu's face was grim.
It shattered on its own."
Qian Daoliu stepped forward to examine it and discovered that the broken area was emanating a dense black aura.
Qian Daoliu tried to touch this black aura but was directly injured by it.
His light power was instantly dissolved upon encountering the black aura, as if the power level of this black aura was far higher than his light power.
"Dark power destroyed the light power of the Angel God... how is this possible?
What exactly happened?"
"Didn't Xiaoxue awaken the purest six-winged angel martial soul...?
She should have had a chance to undergo the Angel God's nine trials, but now the statue is shattered, and the inheritance might be unstable..."
Qian Daoliu was completely bewildered.
He racked his brains but couldn't figure out what had happened.
...
On the other side of Qian Daoliu's breach of defense, Qian Renxue had already followed Bibi Dong back to the Papal Palace.
"Mommy
...
Xiaoxue has learned to cook another dish recently, Mommy, do you want to eat it?"
"Mommy...I bought a little toy, Mommy, can you play with me?"
"Mommy...Can I sleep with you tonight?"
"Mommy...Mommy."
Qian Renxue started chattering incessantly as soon as she followed Bibi Dong, because in her eyes, Bibi Dong held a very high position.
"Shut up!"
Bibi Dong shouted irritably, then looked at Qian Renxue impatiently.
"I don't have time to play house with you...I need to cultivate. How old are you?
Can't you be a little more mature?"
After seeing Qian Renxue awaken that damned Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul today, Bibi Dong felt a surge of annoyance.
"Mom..."
Qian Renxue pouted, almost bursting into tears, but remembering how Bibi Dong had always been like this, Qian Renxue forced herself to comfort herself.
Once Mom wasn't so busy, she could come and play with her; she was still Mom's favorite child!
Just then, a man dressed in a black robe approached and said in a deep voice,
"Your Holiness, we have discovered some traces of that child."
