Chapter 11: Chapter 11: My Son Qian Xunji Has the Potential to Become a God!
"Big Brother, why did you suddenly call us here?"
In the Douluo Hall, inside the Angel Sanctuary.
At Qian Daoliu's summons, the other three Worshippers of the Worship Hall—Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Lion Douluo—quickly arrived together.
Even before they stepped inside, Lion Douluo's rough voice rang out.
Right now, there were still fifteen full years before Tang San's birth in the original story.
So at this point in time, the Worship Hall—counting the old man Qian Daoliu—only had four Worshippers.
Qian Daoliu was, of course, already an Ultimate Douluo.
Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was even older than Qian Daoliu, had long since reached Level 98.
However, Azure Luan Douluo and Lion Douluo had much lower cultivation than when they appeared in the original story.
Both were only at Level 96.
As for Glowing Feather Douluo, Fifteen Ton Douluo, and Falling Devil Douluo—who would later become the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Worshippers—they were all still below Level 95 and currently serving as Elders in the Elder Hall.
"It's not me who called you here. It was Xunji who asked me to summon you."
"He said he has good news to share with you all."
Qian Daoliu shook his head and spoke.
He glanced at Qian Xunji, who wore a confident yet deliberately mysterious smile.
As for this so-called good news, Qian Daoliu was highly skeptical.
After all—
As a father, how could he not know exactly what kind of son he had?
From childhood to adulthood, this brat had always been mediocre in both ability and talent. His cultivation talent was utterly unremarkable.
The only time he had ever impressed Qian Daoliu was when he handled that matter with Bibi Dong.
Other than that, he had no other remarkable achievements.
Among the countless generations of the Qian Clan, he was among the worst!
This time, Qian Daoliu wanted to see for himself—
What so-called good news could this brat possibly have that was important enough to summon Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Lion Douluo?
"Uncles, I have something very important that I need your help with!"
Once Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Lion Douluo arrived, Qian Xunji straightened his posture and put on a solemn, serious expression.
"If the Pope gives an order, we shall obey!"
Though puzzled, the three Worshippers didn't hesitate in their response and spoke in unison.
Hearing this, Qian Xunji smiled in satisfaction. His gaze became dreamy, as if recalling something, and he sighed with emotion.
"Actually, it's nothing too major."
"Just a few days ago, I suddenly received a divine revelation from a mighty, boundless, and incomparably noble deity."
"This deity told me that within the Sunset Forest, there lies a natural wonder—a miraculous land where ice and fire coexist."
"There, many rare and precious immortal herbs grow, some of which can even evolve martial souls and enhance cultivation. If we obtain them, they could greatly strengthen our Spirit Hall."
"I hope that the three of you will accompany me to find this place."
Regarding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—
Regardless of whether Dugu Bo had already discovered and occupied it, Qian Xunji was confident he could take it with ease given his strength.
However, after living in this world for a while, he had come to realize something—
Even though he was the Pope, he had no authority whatsoever in front of that old man Qian Daoliu.
Whenever Qian Daoliu was displeased, he would scold him like a child!
Sure, his current body was indeed Qian Daoliu's son.
But Qian Xunji simply couldn't accept this kind of father-son dynamic!
He had to change everything!
Thus, he decided to use his system rewards and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to craft the illusion that he had been chosen by a powerful deity.
This would also help explain the divine abilities and foresight he would display in the future.
"You? A divine revelation?"
Hearing Qian Xunji's words, Qian Daoliu scoffed coldly, full of disbelief.
"I bet you just found some legend or folktale and decided to claim it as your own discovery."
Qian Xunji was irritated.
What kind of father was this?
His son was being serious, yet the first thing this old man did was undermine him?
Fortunately, he was prepared to slap some faces.
"Father, I know you may not believe me, but—"
Qian Xunji chuckled and, at that moment, it was as if the Dragon King himself had possessed him. He smirked sharply and activated his power.
In an instant, dazzling golden light erupted.
A golden-armored figure with an identical appearance to Qian Xunji emerged, tall and imposing. Twelve golden wings unfurled from his back.
At the same time, nine spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—rose beneath him, surrounding him completely.
"This—!!"
Upon seeing the twelve-winged Angel Martial Soul behind Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu's expression froze in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Twelve… twelve wings?!
How had his son's martial soul evolved into a twelve-winged Angel?
And it no longer resembled the Angel God—it had taken on Qian Xunji's own appearance instead.
Could it be that there really was a supremely powerful deity, even greater than the Angel God, who had chosen this brat?
As much as he struggled to believe it, the twelve-winged Angel Martial Soul before him was undeniable proof!
After a moment of stunned silence, Qian Daoliu's expression suddenly shifted, and he burst into excited laughter.
"Good! Good!"
"A twelve-winged Angel Martial Soul—who would have thought that Xunji's martial soul could evolve into the legendary twelve-winged Angel!"
"It seems my son has truly been chosen by a divine being!"
"My son has the potential to become a god!"
"My son has the potential to become a god!!"
Qian Daoliu was overjoyed, laughing uncontrollably as he looked to the sky.
Qian Xunji: "."
'My old father! You can't just say things like that!'
'The last person who spoke about their son this way probably has grass growing several meters high over their graves by now!'
Qian Xunji's mouth twitched; he really couldn't hold it in anymore.
And after Qian Xunji revealed his Twelve-Winged Angel Martial Soul…
The ability to evolve a God-bestowed Martial Soul—there was no way the "god" backing Qian Xunji could be fake.
With such a noble and mighty "god" vouching for him, the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was undoubtedly real!
"Your Holiness, is that treasure trove filled with rare spiritual herbs located in the Sunset Forest?"
"Let's head there right away!"
Lion Douluo immediately spoke with excitement.
"Alright, then, uncles, let's depart now!"
Qian Xunji smiled in satisfaction.
Everything had already been arranged.
Without delay, he prepared to take Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Lion Douluo to the Sunset Forest.
Hmm, might as well bring Little Lingyuan along too.
When traveling, as an esteemed Pope, he naturally needed someone to serve him!
Departing from Spirit City, Qian Xunji led Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Lion Douluo, and Ling Yuan straight toward the Sunset Forest, which was located near the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Since they could all fly, it took them just over a day to reach the Sunset Forest.
…
Meanwhile, deep within the Sunset Forest, atop a towering and perilous peak shrouded in mist…
Within a small valley filled with white fog, beside a pool where ice-blue and crimson-red waters intertwined like a Yin-Yang Taiji diagram…
A middle-aged man, dressed in a long green robe, with a tall and slender yet gaunt figure, sat cross-legged in meditation. His long grayish-white hair was neatly tied back, and he had a finger-length white beard along his mouth and chin.
His appearance was eerie and sinister, his aura dark and shadowy—this man was none other than Dugu Bo!
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Dugu Bo's heart was gripped by an inexplicable unease. He abruptly opened his eyes, filled with doubt and alarm.
