Zhuang Xingyu smiled, "Grandfather Yue, you are too kind! With Xue'er and I here, how could the angel lineage be cut off? What's yours and mine? We are all family! There is no need to distinguish between each other. Why should Grandfather Yue care about these empty names like surnames? As long as the child has the blood of the Qian family in his body, how could the angel lineage be cut off?"
Qian Daoliu's face turned dark, feeling like he had let a wolf into the house.
Zhuang Xingyu was unmoved. He still hoped that his child would have the surname [Zhuang]. If one of his children was adopted by the angel lineage, it would mean that his descendants would belong to two different factions. Over time, due to interests, they would inevitably fall into fratricide, which he did not want to see.
At the same time, it is also not conducive to ruling, because if his Zhuang Xingyu bloodline is there, the status of the angel lineage will be very high.
Zhuang Xingyu’s plan is that after he unifies the Douluo Universe, there can only be one force in the God Realm.
As for the inheritance of the angel lineage, that was even easier. With Zhuang Xingyu's help, Qian Daoliu would not die, so he could just let Lao Deng become a god and live forever, and then remarry. Although the child born to Qian Daoliu after remarrying would be of a higher "generation" than Qian Renxue, the real relationship did not need to be based on this.
First of all, the seniority in the fantasy world is very confusing, and the most important thing is to look at each person's strength;
Secondly, they have no blood relationship with Zhuang Xingyu and have no contact with him;
Finally, Qian Xunji is Qian Daoliu's eldest son, and Qian Renxue is Qian Daoliu's eldest grandson (daughter), the eldest of the major clans. Qian Daoliu's subsequent children are only minor clans. The relationship between the major and minor clans is that of superiors and subordinates.
In this way, the descendants of the angel lineage in the future will not have the blood of Zhuang Xingyu, and will have little to do with Qian Renxue. After all, Qian Renxue has her own children.
In the future, Zhuang Xingyu will not have any psychological burden when exploiting the angels, and the angels will just have to work honestly for Zhuang Xingyu.
Qian Daoliu, who was standing by, also understood what Zhuang Xingyu meant. Seeing this, he said nothing more. He was powerless and had to give in. He could only comfort himself in his heart: Xingyu was right. As long as Xue'er could become a god, the angel lineage would not die; as long as the child born had Xue'er's blood, the angel lineage would not be considered extinct, but just a new name.
"Grandfather Yue, I understand what you mean and the difficulties you face. As for inheriting the angel lineage, why don't you just give birth to another child?"
"Xingyu, it's difficult for a Titled Douluo to give birth to offspring, and I'm already half buried in the ground. I'm powerless! What's more, I'm a high priest of the Angel God," Qian Daoliu was a little depressed, but when he thought about the fact that he could sacrifice his life for the birth of the Angel God and participate in such a sacred thing, he became motivated again. It was worth it and it was his honor.
"Haha! So Grandfather Yue, your difficulties are just two trivial things: worrying about the need for sacrifice to start the ninth test and worrying about your physical condition!"
"That's right, you are the heir of the God King, so you naturally know these secrets. Xingyu, I ask you not to tell Xue'er about this for the time being. I am afraid that if she knows it, it will affect the God's test, and then I, Qian Daoliu, will be a sinner of the angel lineage. Being able to sacrifice to open the God's test is my lifelong mission and wish. I can achieve what I have today thanks to the training of the Angel God, and I should return all of this to the Angel God."
"Grandfather Yue, you still don't understand what I mean! I, Zhuang Xingyu, am not an unkind person. Moreover, since I have spoken out about this matter, it means that I have a solution."
Afterwards, Zhuang Xingyu told her that divine energy was needed to start the ninth test... He explained the real reason why Qian Daoliu mistakenly believed that he needed a sacrifice, and said that when Xue'er starts the ninth test in the future, she will just need to transfer some divine power to her, and there will be no need for sacrifice.
However, in order to prevent Qian Daoliu's faith from collapsing, Zhuang Xingyu tactfully excused the Angel God from his difficulties. After all, Qian Renxue was the reincarnation of the Angel God.
"Grandfather Yue, don't worry. Not only will you not die, you can also become a god! You should know that I inherited the throne of the God King. The God King is much more powerful than a first-level god. After I become a god, I can help you, Grandfather Yue, become a god! Then we can ascend to the God Realm together!" Zhuang Xingyu made the promise very readily. This was very simple for him.
"Xingyu, is this true? My talent is not good, can I really become a god?"
Qian Daoliu seemed to be living in a dream at this moment. From the moment he became the chief priest of the Angel God, he had been ready to sacrifice himself. He had been preparing for half his life. Suddenly someone told him that he didn't have to die and could become a god. The shock was imaginable.
"Of course it's true. I, Zhuang Xingyu, always keep my word!"
"Xingyu, I am so grateful to you. I really don't know how to thank you. Please accept my greeting! From now on, I will be absolutely loyal to you! I will never have any second thoughts!"
Zhuang Xingyu helped Qian Daoliu up, "Hey, Grandfather Yue, you are too kind. I am glad you have this intention." Then, Zhuang Xingyu instructed: "You don't have to be loyal to me in the future. Just protect the children of Xue'er and me, your grandson and granddaughter."
"Yes!"
……
Compared to the lively atmosphere of the Worship Hall, the Pope's Hall was a bit gloomy. Bibi Dong's situation was getting worse and worse, and she was smashing and barking like usual.
In the past few months alone, Bibi Dong has killed more than 100 guards and maids guarding the Pope's Palace. There was no reason for the death, and the dead people had no fault at all. It was just because Bibi Dong was in a bad mood. And that's not counting the people whose homes were confiscated and their families were exterminated by Bibi Dong's people for no reason.
The people who were killed by Bibi Dong were at least Soul Kings, and one of them was a Soul Douluo. These Soul Masters did not die on the battlefield, but died for no reason at the hands of their masters. It must be said that this is really a kind of irony.
Serving at the Pope's Palace has become the job with the highest mortality rate in the Spirit Hall. Among spirit masters of the same level, the mortality rate is six percentage points higher than that of the Spirit Hall's front-line combat troops.
The staff of the Pope's Palace used to consider it a great honor to be able to serve there, but now they regard it as a haunted house and are terrified at the mention of it.
Bibi Dong killed two more guards casually, threw their bodies outside the hall, and yelled at the rest, "Get out! Get out! No one is allowed to come in without my order!"
Afterwards, Bibi Dong quietly left Wuhun City through the secret passage she had dug over the years, traveled east for 300 kilometers to a canyon, and came to the inheritance site left by the Rakshasa God.
When Bibi Dong obtained the domain of the God of Killing, she was influenced by the thoughts of the Rakshasa God, and unknowingly came to the true inheritance place of the Rakshasa God, starting the Nine Tests of the Rakshasa God.
Bibi Dong walked down the canyon and reached the end shrouded in thick darkness.
At the end stood a dark palace: [Rakshasa Temple]! This palace seemed to be condensed from twisted shadows and endless fear. Every brick exuded a cold breath, and every pillar was engraved with strange and terrifying runes.
All around was a barren land with no grass and only a dead silence. In this land, every breath of air you inhaled was filled with a bone-chilling chill that seemed to penetrate your soul.
Bibi Dong pushed the door open and entered. The interior of the palace was even more eerie and terrifying. The dim lights could barely illuminate the surrounding scene. The walls were covered with hideous masks and strange totems, recording the story of Rakshasa God becoming a god after slaughtering all living things.
In the center of the palace is a huge statue of the god Rakshasa, with acne all over his face, a hideous expression, and evil light flashing in his eyes, as if he wants to devour all life in the world.
The evil aura in the air was even stronger, as if it could blacken people's hearts. If someone didn't know better, they would probably think that this was the base camp of the evil soul master, not the inheritance site of the main god of the God Realm. It was really ridiculous!
A shadow emerged from the statue. "Bibi Dong, you're here! It seems that you have been practicing very hard these days. The evil power in you is getting stronger and stronger. The smell of decay and filth is really delightful!"
"Thank you for the compliment, sir! It's all because of your good teaching." Bibi Dong has been criticized a lot because her true face has been revealed in recent years. She hates everything very much and her desire to destroy the world is getting stronger and stronger. It can be said that Bibi Dong is now more evil than an evil soul master.
"That's right. It's all thanks to my teaching that you, Bibi Dong, are where you are today. I called you here this time to tell you how to start the ninth test. You must be wondering why I suppressed your level 99 soul power and only let you exert level 98 combat power. This is to better stimulate your potential and make you more compatible with the position of Rakshasa God. Now you have met this requirement.
It is time to tell you how to start the Ninth Trial. That is: [Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill again! Kill everything you can see, and use the blood and souls of the human race to forge the steps to start the Ninth Trial! As for how many people you have to kill, it depends on your actual situation. According to my estimate, you have to kill at least 450 million people! The more people you kill, the stronger you will be when you become a god].
[The most important point is: these 450 million+ people must have been killed by you or your subordinates personally. Killings by others do not count! ]"
Chapter 185: Xue Qinghe rises further. Xi Wei Aoxie goes to the sea
Island of Gods
"Yes! I will follow your divine command! Thank you for your guidance. Bibi Dong will kill 450 million people as soon as possible to meet the requirements for the ninth test of the Rakshasa God, and live up to your training and teachings!"
"Well, go back. I will only give you 10 years. If you and your subordinates fail to kill more than 450 million human beings within years, it means that you are not qualified to inherit my throne, and I will take back everything I have given you." Rakshasa God's consciousness ordered again.
"As you wish." Bibi Dong stepped back and left the Rakshasa Temple.
After Bibi Dong left the Rakshasa Temple, she thought about her future plans. "No wonder after completing the eighth test, I advanced to level 99, but could only exert a level 98 combat power. The ninth test has never started. It turns out that my subordinates and I need to kill at least 450 million people to meet the conditions for starting the ninth test."
"But the records in the Spirit Hall's books state that the ninth test is the most difficult of all the divine tests. Not only is the probability of failure high, but there is also a very high risk of death. Lord Rakshasa also said just now that the more lives you kill, the stronger you will be after becoming a god."
"Therefore, it is far from enough to only slaughter 450 million+ people. At least 1000+ people must be killed to ensure that there is no risk of error! This is exactly what I think. In this world, there are no good people except Xiaogang and me. The rest are all villains and untouchables. It is not a pity to die. It is the greatest honor of their lives to serve as the nourishment for me, Bibi Dong, to start the ninth test."
"I just don't know if there is any requirement for the quality of the human race I can slaughter. Is it true that the higher the soul power, the greater the help it will provide me? Luosha God didn't tell me. It seems that after I go back, I have to kill some people with different soul powers to test the effect."
"If I want to massacre at least 1000 million people, I can't do it alone. I must secure my position as the Pope at this stage. When I return, I will mobilize the army and prepare for war. I will be ready after the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition. At that time, I will directly launch a war that will sweep across the entire Douluo Continent!"
"In a state of war, the Pope will not be replaced easily. As long as I can continue to win on the battlefield, my position as Pope will be more secure!"
"I, Bibi Dong, want to become a god! I want to destroy the Spirit Hall! I want to wipe out the angel lineage! I want to slaughter all the human beings on Douluo Continent! Use your blood to forge my path to becoming a god!"
Thinking that everyone would die at her hands in the future, Bibi Dong felt a sense of joy in her heart. She screamed "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" non-stop, like a complete madman.
On the other side, Zhuang Xingyu brought Qian Renxue back to the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, told his family the good news that he was having a child, and also introduced Qian Renxue's identity.
Murong Yunxue, Zhuang Jingxing, Zhuang Jingxi, Li Xuanhua and others were naturally overjoyed. After 14 years, after the birth of Zhuang Xingyu, the direct lineage of the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan was finally going to have a new member!
As for Qian Renxue's special identity, Murong Yunxue and Zhuang Jingxing didn't care. The conflict between the family and the Spirit Hall was very bad, but that was only with the Pope Hall headed by Bibi Dong. The Worship Hall and the Elder Hall headed by Qian Daoliu had been in seclusion in recent years and rarely went out. The Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan had never confronted them and had never met them. There was no irreconcilable conflict.
What could be more important than their eldest great-grandson (eldest grandson…)?
Moreover, Qian Renxue is the inheritor of a first-level divine residence. No matter in terms of family background, appearance, or talent, she is one of the best people in Douluo Continent. She is a perfect match for Zhuang Xingyu.
The most important thing is that Qian Daoliu handed over the Worship Hall and the Elder Hall to Zhuang Xingyu and Qian Renxue to manage together, which is equivalent to letting more than half of the Wuhun Hall submit to Zhuang Xingyu. The dowry brought by this is too rich, far exceeding that of the Huangfu family, and the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan must express some expression.
Murong Yunxue held Qian Renxue's hand affectionately, "Renxue! Grandma promises you that the child in your belly is my great-grandson (daughter), the first-order heir of the next generation of the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan. After Xingyu inherits the title of clan leader, this child will be the young clan leader of the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan! No matter what the child's talent is, as long as he doesn't make a big mistake, his identity cannot be changed."
"This, Grandma, I,..." Qian Renxue looked at Zhuang Xingyu, feeling embarrassed to agree directly.
"Xue'er, it's a gift from an elder, so you can't refuse it. Don't be embarrassed. Just accept it on behalf of the child!"
Zhuang Xingyu nodded to Qian Renxue. These things were all discussed between him and his grandmother, and now it was Murong Yunxue, who was the oldest, who spoke out. Anyway, with Zhuang Xingyu here, no one can change the world. As for talent, Zhuang Xingyu's children will not be bad in talent, and there are ways to make up for it.
"Yes, thank you, Grandma."
"Oh, okay. By the way, Renxue, don't go undercover in the Tiandou Empire. My Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan and your Worship Hall are together enough to sweep across the Tiandou Empire. It's just a waste of time and the subsequent governance will be more troublesome, but it's not a big deal and can be solved. If you encounter any danger and get hurt, it will be bad!"
Qian Renxue explained once again, "Grandma, it's okay. I still plan to continue to be an undercover agent in the Heaven Dou Empire. This has become my obsession, and if I don't complete it, it will affect my practice. I have the combat power of a Super Douluo, and I am secretly protected by the four Titled Douluos sent by my grandfather. There will be no danger."
Qian Renxue has said these words many times to her grandfather, Zhuang Xingyu and others, but the warmth of her family's care has brought Qian Renxue an unprecedented experience, and she is very happy.
Zhuang Xingyu knew Qian Renxue's determination and tried to persuade her, "Grandma, it's okay. We can deploy more troops to Dongzheng Mountain and Prince Qi's Mansion to provide support at any time. We can also send Sister Shushen to secretly protect Xue'er. It will definitely be safe."
"Well, Renxue, you must be careful! Tell the family immediately if anything happens." Murong Yunxue thought about the protective power around Qian Renxue and felt that nothing unexpected would happen, so she stopped trying to persuade him.
Then, like Qian Daoliu, he sent several loyal maids who were secretly trained to take care of pregnant women to serve Qian Renxue. No outsiders would recognize these maids, so Qian Renxue could just find an opportunity to take them into the Prince's Mansion without arousing suspicion.
The next day, Qian Renxue set off to return to the Prince's Mansion in Tiandou City. She had been out for more than half a month, and it was time to go back.
As Qian Renxue replaced the chronic poison she had previously given Xue Ye with the poison given by Zhuang Xingyu, Xue Ye's health became worse day by day.
The most interesting thing about the poison given by Zhuang Xingyu is that every time the condition worsens, it is linked to Xue Ye's activities. All the doctors believe that it is the natural decline of Xue Ye's body. After all, it is normal to get sick given his age and soul power. Xue Ye also thought it was caused by excessive use of puppets.
Xue Ye lay exhausted on the bed, feeling mixed emotions, sighing inwardly, "I just raised the strength of the royal family, but before I could show my strength, I was defeated by my body. Alas, plans cannot keep up with changes, heroes grow old, and time is unforgiving! My Tiandou royal family was built by puppets, and it will also fail because of puppets!"
"It is precisely because of these three level 3 puppets that the Tiandou Empire can remain prosperous as long as they can be activated. The emperors of all dynasties have almost lost their sense of crisis and have set their only goal on activating the puppets."
"But they ignore the fact that their own strength is the most important thing!"
"Like me, although I activated two puppets, I am only a Soul King. Although the energy of the puppets is supplied by the Title Douluo's residual energy absorbed when activated, puppets are inanimate objects. It still takes the master himself to drive the puppets to move and fight, which consumes too much mental energy. I only activated two puppets, and I have to keep one by my side to protect myself, which is equivalent to activating only one puppet."
"According to my current physical condition, I don't have many years left to live. It's time to give power to the crown prince and help him train some ministers to take care of him."
Xue Ye made up his mind and then gradually delegated power to the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. 95% of the affairs of the court were handled by Xue Qinghe, while he was responsible for stamping and signing, and would only come forward to make decisions on major matters.
However, Xue Ye did not give up the military power and the intelligence system, nor did he dare to give them up.
Xue Ye only gave Xue Qinghe the right to form the Prince's Six Guards, with a maximum number of 1.2 and they could not be stationed in Tiandou City, but had to train in the military camp outside the city. The defense of Tiandou City and the Imperial Palace was still Xue Ye's people.
Because there is an unwritten rule and custom in Douluo Continent, as long as the prince's strength exceeds that of the emperor, then you, the emperor, can die, whether it is sudden death or illness, all can be arranged.
At the same time, the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan also publicly supported Xue Qinghe, further enhancing Xue Qinghe's prestige and voice.
Under the general trend, the fourth prince Xue Beng completely put aside his own little thoughts and devoted himself to a life of debauchery and drunkenness. After all, his disguise back then was just a true portrayal of himself.
Only Prince Xuexing was still unwilling to give in. He was determined to push his own son Xuebeng to the throne and was secretly planning something.
That's right, Xue Beng is the child of Xue Xing and Hua Fei, not Xue Ye's biological son. With the help of the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan's intelligence system, Xue Qinghe has discovered this secret, but the evidence has not been collected yet. We are constantly working hard to give a fatal blow at the critical moment.
……
On the other side of the continent, Xiwei Aoxie of the Xiwei Divine Religion, after stabilizing the family situation, set out alone to the Sea God Island to seek cooperation based on the information passed down by the Black Demon.
With the blessing of level 98 soul power, Xiwei Aoxie had a smooth journey and could soon reach the waters around Poseidon Island. No blind pirate group dared to rob him.
Xi Wei Aoxie also did not encounter the million-year-old soul beast Deep Sea Demon Whale King. After all, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King only moves in the deep sea and never goes to the shallow sea, which is too shallow to accommodate its body.
It doesn't go to the coast of Douluo Continent, where there are few cities. The population is limited, and the soul power is not high. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is too lazy to go there. Wherever it goes, the energy obtained by devouring humans is not enough for it to maintain the energy needed to transform! It is not a soul beast of more than 100,000 years, which is of no help to its current size of one million years.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has lived for so many years, but has killed very few humans. On the contrary, the Sea God Island, which claims to be righteous and calls the Deep Sea Demon Whale King an evil soul beast, has killed a lot of human beings.
Xiwei Aoxie stood on the deck of the giant ship, looking at the huge island in front of him. The diameter was about 400 miles, which was equivalent to the area of a kingdom on the Douluo Continent. This was the Sea God Island.
