Tang Hao looked haggard; right now, the belief sustaining his will to live was raising Tang San to become a god.

As long as Tang San could become a god, he could repay every bit of humiliation he had endured many times over.

Qian Renxue?

So what if her Talent was high?

The gap between one Martial Soul and Twin Martial Souls was insurmountable.

"Elder Brother, Third Elder, it is I, Tang Hao, who have failed the Sect."

Tang Hao admitted his fault first before abruptly changing the topic: "However, Xiao San is also of Clear Sky Sect bloodline.

He possesses Twin Martial Souls: the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Silver Emperor.

But just a while ago, Bibi Dong tracked me down and severely wounded me.

Xiao San was also caught in the aftermath, losing an arm and a leg.

Now, there is only one way I can help Xiao San recover."

Tang Hao lowered his head, seeming about to drop to his knees.

Seeing this, Tang Xiao immediately supported him: "My nephew actually has Twin Martial Souls?

Little Brother Hao, why didn't you mention this earlier?

If you had sent him to the Clear Sky Sect earlier, how could such a disaster have happened?"

Tang Xiao spoke in astonishment as well; he had never imagined the child of Tang Hao and Ah Yin would possess such terrifying Talent.

"I originally intended to raise Tang San to adulthood before sending him to the Sect to atone for my sins on my behalf.

Yet unexpectedly, circumstances took a turn.

This Sky Screen triggered a series of changes,

dealing blows to Xiao San and me time and time again.

The 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone left behind by Ah Yin was baited away by Qian Xunji.

Now, if we want Xiao San to recover,

there is only one way left.

That is to find a 100,000-year Soul Beast and have her make a Sacrifice for Xiao San."

As Tang Hao revealed his final hope, Tang Xiao and the Third Elder instantly furrowed their brows upon hearing it.

"Hunting a 100,000-year Soul Beast might still hold some hope.

But to have a 100,000-year Soul Beast voluntarily make a Sacrifice...

That is almost impossible to achieve."

The Third Elder shook his head. He had also watched the Sky Screen and knew that a Soul Beast's Sacrifice brought astronomical benefits to a Soul Master.

But making a Soul Beast make a Sacrifice for a human Soul Master was simply too difficult.

They did not possess Qian Xunji's caliber of strength, nor did they have the luck to encounter a Soul Beast nearing the end of its lifespan.

More importantly, it was only because Qian Renxue was almost certain to become a god that the Soul Beast had been willing to make a Sacrifice.

What about Tang San?

Tang San was already crippled; even with Twin Martial Souls, he still had no hope of becoming a god.

With such slim hope, how could a Soul Beast ever be willing to make a Sacrifice?

"I have thought about this as well.

If it were truly just an ordinary 100,000-year Soul Beast, even if it were nearing the end of its lifespan, it would never make a Sacrifice for Xiao San.

However, when Xiao San was six years old, a transformed 100,000-year Soul Beast accompanied him as he grew up.

It wasn't until recently that that 100,000-year Soul Beast left.

Her relationship with Xiao San is very close—one could even say it is just like how Ah Yin and I were back then.

Therefore, if we bring her here, she might agree to make a Sacrifice."

Tang Hao was no fool; he knew that the only hope to restore Tang San right now lay with Xiao Wu.

"So, Little Brother Hao, you summoned us here to have us take you to the Star Dou Great Forest's Core Area,

bring out that transformed 100,000-year Soul Beast,

and then..."

"If she is willing, that would be for the best.

If she is unwilling, then for Xiao San's sake, and so that the Clear Sky Sect can give rise to a god in the future,

we must be ruthless."

Tang Hao's gaze was resolute.

Hearing this, Tang Xiao and the Third Elder exchanged glances, both finding the plan feasible.

A transformed 100,000-year Soul Beast was easier to handle than an untransformed one after all.

Most crucially, of course, was that Tang San and that Soul Beast shared a deep emotional foundation.

"In that case, we set out immediately.

Once we reach the Star Dou Great Forest's Core Area, we must act swiftly and decisively."

Tang Xiao made up his mind. With his Level 95 strength combined with the Third Elder's Level 94, even confronting two 100,000-year Soul Beasts head-on would be well within their capabilities.

"Then let's go!"

Tang Hao had long been impatient.

Spirit City.

Qian Daoliu brought Qian Renxue back to the Hall of Enshrinement, where the Blazing Fire Sacred Luan had already been waiting impatiently.

"Qian Renxue, let me see your Spirit Rings."

The peerless beauty into whom the Sacred Luan had transformed spoke, looking identical to the Sacred Luan in the Sky Screen's timeline.

"You are... Alright!"

Qian Renxue understood almost instantly what the Blazing Fire Sacred Luan wanted to do.

She wanted to make a Sacrifice for her, becoming her Ninth Soul Ring.

Right now, Qian Renxue's Soul Power had already reached Level 88, fully capable of receiving the Blazing Fire Sacred Luan's Sacrifice.

Spirit Rings appeared one by one, the sacred radiance upon Qian Renxue intensely astonishing.

In the center of the Hall of Enshrinement, the magnificent Angel God Statue radiated a shimmering luster, echoing and resonating with Qian Renxue.

"It is the Angel God's summons! Xiao Xue will surely obtain the Angel God's recognition

and inherit the Angel God Position!"

Qian Daoliu's voice trembled with excitement. Spirit Hall had guarded the Angel God Position for countless years.

Now, a god was finally about to emerge once more.

Sensing the aura originating from the very same source, the Blazing Fire Sacred Luan was also filled with immense marvel.

"Traversing time and space... for such a wondrous thing to truly happen.

That I and my past self would become the Spirit Rings of the same Soul Master...

it isn't bad at all."

The Sacred Luan nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at Qian Renxue's first six Spirit Rings.

"Innate Soul Power of Level 20, and a God-level Martial Soul to boot.

Yet the first six Spirit Rings have nothing remarkable about them at all.

Were it not for this fated opportunity of yours across time and space,

I truly wouldn't have chosen to make a Sacrifice for you."

The Sacred Luan could not resist complaining at the end. Qian Daoliu smiled awkwardly: "That was my fault.

It was I who held Xiao Xue back."

Qian Daoliu admitted his mistake, but Qian Renxue said: "Grandfather, I don't blame you.

Father said that you only took such a conservative path because you doted on me too much and couldn't bear to see any mishaps befall me.

However, from now on, Xue'er will bravely strive ahead.

The path of cultivation is not only about contending against others, but also about acting heaven-defyingly.

If one lacks ambition and clings to old ways, far from surpassing one's predecessors, even reaching their Realm would be difficult."

Qian Renxue looked toward Qian Xunji's figure in the Sky Screen, her Dao Heart rock-solid.

"It is for the best that you have this mindset.

Let us begin; my Heavenly Tribulation is already stirring restlessly.

I won't be able to suppress it much longer."

The Sacred Luan gave Qian Renxue little time to prepare.

Receiving a Sacrifice required no preparation anyway.

Holy Light soared into the firmament, its radiance cascading over Spirit City.

The Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong's expression was exceedingly chilling; Rakshasa Divine Power had already begun corroding her body, and hideous markings surfaced upon her face.

"Just one final step, and I can become a god.

What does it matter how many Sacrifices you receive?

Going from a Titled Douluo to a Level 99 Peerless Douluo takes at least several years of effort.

I will make you understand what despair truly means.

I will devour your Angel God Position, make you watch with your own eyes as Spirit Hall perishes, and leave you wishing for death!

Hahahahaha! Hahahaha!"

Bibi Dong's shrill laughter echoed through the Pope's Palace; she was about to become a god.

Even she had not expected her Rakshasa God Trial to proceed so smoothly during this period.

"I only need to wait a few more days, and when the time comes, Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu, and that wretched bastard will all be destroyed by my own hands.

Want this seat's Pope position?

Humph, even if I give it to you, so what?

Do you dare to sit upon it?"
