Before the appearance of the celestial curtain, Qian Renxue firmly believed that the six-winged angel was the most powerful martial spirit in the world, a gift from God, and an unparalleled symbol.
But just now, that cruel ranking list hit her like a ton of bricks.
15th place.
It was only fifteenth place.
The aura emanating from the fourth-ranked "Heavenly Mandate Wheel" in front of her, even just from those few lines of text, already made her feel a tremor and suffocation deep within her soul.
The difference is simply immeasurable.
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, trying her best to maintain the last bit of dignity as the Pope, but the deep awe in her eyes could not be hidden.
"I wonder who is capable of winning the top spot on the Martial Soul Ranking?"
"Those beings have probably already transcended the realm of humanity and touched upon the true realm of gods."
Hu Liena, who was standing to the side, was already mesmerized.
She cupped her hands in her heart, her eyes shining with undisguised adoration, and her mind began to wander in uncontrollable fantasies.
"That must be an unparalleled expert."
"The person who possesses the number one martial soul must be an extraordinary man who transcends the mundane and is exceptionally talented."
"Like a banished immortal from a storybook, looking down upon all living beings, omnipotent."
No one interrupted the girl's fantasy, because everyone present was so overwhelmed by the immense impact that they lost the ability to think.
Just as everyone was still trembling at the terrifying ranking and abilities, the images on the sky shifted again.
As golden light converged, the identity of the master of the "Heavenly Mandate Imperial Wheel" was finally revealed to the world.
A magnificent and awe-inspiring portrait slowly emerges.
That was Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty.
Qian Renxue stared at the familiar portrait, her pupils suddenly contracting, and she subconsciously murmured:
"Wu Zetian, the female emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
She was no stranger to this Eastern empress; in fact, they had even had private contact before due to some chance encounter.
In her memory, he was an elder who, although dignified, took good care of her.
"So it was Aunt Wu Zetian?"
Qian Renxue's tone carried a hint of surprise, but more so a sense of relief, as if to say, "So that's how it is."
If it were Aunt Wu, who possessed extraordinary abilities and exceptional talent, it wouldn't be entirely unacceptable for her to have such a martial spirit.
However.
This sense of relief lasted for less than a second.
The next moment, when the line of annotations about interpersonal relationships next to the portrait came into clear view, Qian Renxue was completely furious.
[Relationship: Admiring Qianyu]
These four words struck Qian Renxue like a thunderbolt, hitting her head hard.
"What?"
Did Wu Zetian love her father?
Qian Renxue's eyes widened, her voice instantly rising eight octaves, her face filled with disbelief.
She suddenly turned her head to look at Qianyu, who remained calm and composed, and then looked back at the portrait of Wu Zetian on the sky.
A strong sense of crisis and betrayal welled up from the bottom of my heart.
Qian Renxue's lips pouted instantly, her face filled with displeasure.
"I treat you like my aunt, and you want to be my mother?"
This is outrageous!
She always thought that Wu Zetian appreciated and cared for her juniors, but it turned out that the other party wanted to be her elder.
This sudden confusion in generational hierarchy made Qian Renxue feel as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.
Bibi Dong reacted even more strongly than Qian Renxue.
If she felt shocked and awe when she saw the strength of the martial soul just now, then seeing the words "admiration for Qianyu" now made Bibi Dong feel absurd and furious as if struck by lightning.
She stared intently at the sky, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"What?"
"Wu Zetian actually liked Qian Yu?"
Bibi Dong felt like her mind was a little foggy.
Although she was in the Spirit Hall, she had heard of Wu Zetian long ago, and even had some secret rivalries and attention with her.
She was a woman who truly stood at the pinnacle.
In terms of appearance, Wu Zetian was graceful and beautiful, possessing a stunning beauty that rivaled hers.
In terms of figure, she is even more voluptuous and alluring, exuding charm.
In terms of strength, the opponent is the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, who governs hundreds of millions of lives and whose word is law.
In terms of talent and martial spirit, the current sky directly proves that it is an existence that completely crushes Bibi Dong.
"Although I really don't want to admit it..."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her heart overflowing with bitterness like a spilled jar of vinegar.
"But Wu Zetian is no less than me in appearance, figure, strength, talent, and martial spirit."
"Even in terms of the quality of the martial spirit and the power, it is even better."
How high must a woman's standards be to be so perfect?
I'm afraid there are very few men in this world who can catch her eye.
But how could someone like this like Chiyu?
"Why?!"
Bibi Dong roared madly in her heart.
She simply couldn't understand it.
In her understanding, although Qianyu was somewhat mysterious and came from the Qian family, she did not show any earth-shattering abilities during the time she spent with her.
Even when she chose to break with him in pursuit of power and authority, she felt that Chiba was a thing of the past that could be discarded at any time.
But now, reality has given her a harsh slap in the face.
The man she despised and abandoned actually won the heart of the Tang Dynasty Empress?
This feeling is like someone carelessly tossing away a rough stone, only to have it picked up by another person, polished, and then discovered to be a unique gem.
Bibi Dong was very angry.
An unnamed fire burned fiercely in her chest, consuming her reason.
She suddenly remembered some of her previous interactions with Wu Zetian.
At that time, although the relationship between the Tang Empire and the Spirit Hall was not close, it maintained a superficial peace, and Wu Zetian was even quite polite to her.
Recently, however, the Tang Empire's attitude has become extremely tough, even somewhat targeting the Spirit Hall.
"No wonder Wu Zetian and I used to have a fairly good relationship, but suddenly she changed her mind."
"So it's because she likes Qianyu? Because Qianyu was wronged by me, and she's standing up for her?"
Bibi Dong thought about it more and more and it seemed to make sense.
She then recalled the scene of her chance encounter with Qianyu at the edge of the Starry Sky Forest that day.
At that time, Qianyu also seemed nonchalant, as if he didn't care about her attitude at all.
So they were fearless because they had nothing to lose!
So it turns out he had such a powerful backer!
Bibi Dong turned around abruptly, her once majestic phoenix eyes now blazing with fury that seemed to want to devour people.
She strode up to Qian Yu, completely disregarding the presence of Hu Liena and the Mo family members, and directly questioned her sharply:
"Qianyu!"
"Did you have something going on with Wu Zetian a long time ago?"
Bibi Dong's voice was sharp and piercing, her chest heaving violently.
Even though she had already divorced Qianyu, even though she was the one who initiated the separation.
But in her subconscious, Qianyu was still her personal possession.
