Chapter 297

This time, the person who appeared in front of Qian Renxue was Ye Feng—the man who had changed her life.

Ye Feng said nothing.

As soon as he appeared, memories surged through Qian Renxue's mind like a tide.

She recalled their first meeting, the shocking moment when Ye Feng slapped her on the buttocks. Ever since then, every time they met, Ye Feng would tease her like it was the only way he knew how to breathe.

Then came the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition. Ye Feng had led Xue Qinghe—her disguise—away and forced her to reveal her true identity. Despite her strength, Ye Feng's cultivation was high enough that she couldn't defeat him. He'd cornered her until she was forced to abandon her act and stop pretending to be Xue Qinghe.

She'd hated him so much back then.

After that incident, Qian Renxue returned to Spirit Hall and pulled strings to change her age, forcing her way into the competition as a member of the Spirit Hall Academy team. Her only goal was to defeat Ye Feng, who had repeatedly humiliated her.

But even after using the spirit skills of the Angel Spirit Bone, she still lost to him.

She became Ye Feng's woman. By seniority alone, she should've called him stepfather.

It was because of this that she had always remained cold toward him.

While she was lost in these thoughts, the object the system had embedded in her mind suddenly activated again.

A flash of inspiration surged into her consciousness. The pain disappeared, replaced only by warmth and happiness.

"Angel God," Qian Renxue murmured. "I don't know if you're watching. Is all of this your final trial for me? Do you know…?"

Her lips curled into a faint smile. "Secret love… is a kind of happiness."

Whoosh—

A soft sound echoed through her soul.

All the visions faded. Along with them, the pain buried deep in Qian Renxue's spirit disappeared.

In that moment, Qian Renxue's eyes slowly opened. A flash of golden light flickered within them.

Having undergone tempering by the sacred fire, her body was now cloaked in golden flames. Her six wings, forged of divine light, blazed brilliantly behind her. Each flap of her wings radiated a scorching aura.

Buzz—

With a single thought, Qian Renxue vanished from her original location and reappeared outside the Elders' Hall.

The prismatic divine sigil between her brows lit up. Seven radiant rings of divine power floated behind her—marking her as a first-level deity.

A column of golden light descended from the sky, enveloping her and lifting her slowly upward.

Gazing down at the Spirit City below, emotion welled in her heart.

"I originally had another hundred years left... but now I must go to help her. Farewell, Spirit City—my birthplace and home."

She gave the city one final, lingering look, as though trying to carve its image into her soul forever. Then she raised the Angel Sword and soared upward into the Ascension Tunnel.

Three Months Later

"Brother, I heard Qian Renxue has left too."

Xiao Wu stood by the window, watching Ye Feng in a daze.

"Mm," Ye Feng replied with a nod.

"She must've gone to help her," Xiao Wu continued softly.

Ye Feng didn't respond. He simply stared silently up at the sky.

He had no idea what the current situation in the God Realm was.

But ever since he had made his move against the God Realm, Tang San had a chance to stage a comeback—though a slim one. After all, Tang San had inherited the position of Dragon God.

Although both Xiao Wu and Bibi Dong were Ye Feng's women, there was still a rift between them. Because Bibi Dong had killed Xiao Wu's mother, Xiao Wu never called her by name—only "she." Unless Bibi Dong brought her mother back, Xiao Wu would never truly forgive her.

"Someone reported that Sister Bing'er has left too. She should've gone to Sea God Island to find Sister Bo Sanxi," Xiao Wu added.

Ye Feng remained silent.

Originally, he had planned to let Shui Bing'er inherit the Sea God position after she turned ninety. They weren't in a hurry.

But Tang San's sudden deification had disrupted all of Ye Feng's original plans.

Ye Feng understood—Shui Bing'er left because she wanted to secure the Sea God's position as quickly as possible. It was the only way to prepare for the uncertain future.

After all, Tang San had become the Dragon God. He'd ascended to the God Realm filled with hatred. No one could predict what he would do—whether to Ye Feng, his allies, or even the Douluo Star itself.

So Shui Bing'er, wanting to help Ye Feng, had set out to become the Sea God.

"Brother, I'm about to take the ninth trial. Once I complete it, I'll come back to find you," Xiao Wu said gently.

"Be careful," Ye Feng said softly.

Those three simple words warmed Xiao Wu's heart.

"Mm."

She nodded with a smile.

Boom!

Suddenly, just as Xiao Wu was about to leave Douluo Star, a bolt of lightning tore through the sky.

Boom! Boom!

Thunder rumbled like a furious beast. The entire continent trembled ever so slightly.

"What's going on?!" Xiao Wu asked, alarmed.

"The divine world is taking action," Ye Feng said with a frown.

"What did Tang San do?" she asked quickly.

The tremors faded just as suddenly as they began.

"The rules have changed," Ye Feng muttered, his pupils narrowing.

"How did he pull that off…?" he murmured, unable to hide his curiosity.

"Rules? What rules?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion. She quickly tapped into her spiritual perception. Her eyes widened in shock.

"Powerful energy fluctuations… They're coming from the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest! Da Ming and Er Ming—they've become divine beasts!"
