Chapter 198: Qian Daoliu's Chance to Become a God
"But if even Di Tian only ranks fifth, then the top four…"
Names flashed through Lu Xiao's mind.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, Angel God Bloodline, Sea God Bloodline… what could the last Bloodline be?
Right then, the heavenly curtain erupted in change!
BOOM!
A pillar of gold—pure to the extreme, holy to the extreme—shot skyward from the depths of the heavenly curtain without warning.
That gold was no mundane gold.
It carried the sacred powers of light, judgment, and purification.
Within the beam, countless Seraphim phantoms soared; hymns and prayers echoed faintly, as though the might of an entire God Realm were gathering.
The holy gold illuminated all of Douluo Continent.
Every living being bathed in the radiance felt their Soul cleansed and their sins judged.
The righteous felt warmth and shelter; the wicked felt searing pain and terror.
With unstoppable, unquestionable Aura, the golden light surged into the fourth seat.
At last, upon the heavenly curtain, it condensed into a hundred-zhang-tall Seraphim phantom—six wings unfurled, Angelic Sacred Sword in hand, divine crown upon its head, face indistinct yet august and holy.
The phantom exuded pure Divinity, wreathed in sacred flame and runes of light.
Its mere manifestation caused every Angel God Statue within Spirit City to resonate with light.
A majestic, heaven-shaking voice, carrying unprecedented sanctity, rolled across the World.
[Douluo Continent bloodline inheritance ranking, 4th place: Seraphim Bloodline (direct line of a Divinity)]
[Source of Bloodline]: A direct inheritor of the First-rank Deity God of Angels, containing a portion of the God's authority over light, holiness, judgment, and purification; one of the most complete and highest-ranked Divinity inheritances extant on Douluo Continent.
[Current Illustrious Heirs]: Qian Daoliu (High Priest of Spirit Hall, level-99 Limit Douluo, guardian of the God of Angels' God Position, eight God Trials completed); Qian Renxue (heir to the God of Angels God Position, three Angel Trials completed).
[Reason for Ranking]: Bloodline source is a First-rank Deity; direct divine inheritance, supreme rank, complete Legacy system, limitless potential. Yet when this Bloodline manifests on Douluo Continent, the World's Law dilutes its divine-blood density, and its Awakening demands harsh God Trials. Judging by rank and completeness of inheritance, it places fourth.
[Ranking Rewards]
1. Divine-Blood Purification: The Angel God blood within Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue is permanently refined by 25%, further unlocking potential and reducing God Trial difficulty by 15%.
2. God Position Opportunity: Qian Daoliu gains the chance at the 'Angel Attendant' God Position—unable to inherit the First-rank Deity God of Angels, he may instead condense the 'Light Emissary' God Position (Third-Rank Deity), opening a personal God Trial; upon success he can Ascend to the God Realm as a subordinate of the God of Angels.
3. Divine Skill Inheritance: Qian Renxue receives one complete Divine Skill of the God of Angels—'Heaven Descends' (summons a phantom of the Angel God Realm; allies within range gain holy buffs, foes suffer continuous sacred burning and judgment).
4. Spirit Hall Blessing: All Soul Masters in Spirit Hall who possess an Angel Spirit see their Spirit quality permanently raised by one tier; for the next three years their Cultivation speed increases by 30%.
…All Douluo Continent burst into uproar once more!
"Fourth place! Angel God Bloodline—truly a divine inheritance!"
"A direct line of a First-rank Deity—no wonder it outranks Di Tian!"
"Wait—in the rewards, Qian Daoliu can become a god? Only a Third-Rank Deity, but still a true God Position!"
"Heaven Descends… that Divine Skill sounds terrifying—summoning a God Realm phantom?"
"Spirit Hall is about to soar! Every Angel Spirit rises a whole tier!"
"But… why only fourth? A First-rank Deity Bloodline can't reach top three?"
"…"
The question left everyone, even amid the shock, with deeper doubt.
Even a direct First-rank Deity Bloodline could only place fourth!
What manner of beings occupied the top three?
…Spirit City, Hall of Worship.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Bathed in the sacred golden light pouring from the sky, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue felt their Bloodlines transformed to the core.
Qian Daoliu clearly sensed the Soul Power Bottleneck that had stalled him for decades begin to loosen.
A pure light rune surfaced on his forehead—the initial mark of the 'Light Emissary' God Trial.
"This… is…"
Feeling the new power surging within, Qian Daoliu's eyes shone with disbelief.
"A God Position Opportunity… do I really… have a chance to become a god?"
Though only a Third-Rank Deity Light Emissary, though merely a subordinate of the God of Angels—
It was still a true God Position!
The Ascension path countless Soul Masters dreamed of!
Qian Renxue likewise felt her Angel God blood become purer and mightier than ever.
A complete Divine Skill appeared in her mind.
Her comprehension of the Law of light and holiness reached a new level.
Yet her face showed little joy.
Instead, deep gravity gathered there.
"Fourth place!"
Qian Renxue murmured, "Grandfather, we… only placed fourth."
The ranking shattered the last shred of pride she had in the supremacy of the Angel God Bloodline.
Qian Daoliu, recovering from his excitement, heard his granddaughter's whisper; the joy on his face slowly ebbed.
"Fourth…"
He repeated the rank, eyes complicated.
"Yes, only fourth. In the eyes of the heavenly curtain, our Bloodline still falls short of the top three."
He lifted his gaze to the heavenly curtain; the remaining three seats now emitted fluctuations that made even him tremble.
"Besides the Sea God Bloodline and the Silver Dragon King Bloodline, what could the last one be?"
Curiosity and a hint of unspoken unease filled Qian Daoliu's heart.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Just then, the sky outside the Hall of Worship erupted in phenomena.
Golden clouds converged from every direction!
Above Spirit City they formed a vast vortex of light!
At its center!
A staircase of pure sacred light slowly extended downward.
All the way to the entrance of the Hall of Worship!
At the staircase's end, the phantom of a radiant gate could be glimpsed!
Behind the gate seemed to lie a World brimming with holy Aura!
"The God Trial has begun!"
Feeling the summons of the rune within, Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed with resolve.
"Xue'er, I must undergo the God Trial."
"The rest is in your hands."
Qian Renxue nodded firmly: "Rest assured, Grandfather; I will guard Spirit Hall."
Without further hesitation, Qian Daoliu stepped onto the staircase of light.
His figure gradually receded and finally vanished through the gate of radiance.
Every Soul Master in Spirit City witnessed the scene; heaven-shaking cheers erupted!
"The High Priest is going to become a god!"
"Our Spirit Hall will have a Divinity!"
"Heaven blesses Spirit Hall!"
