"Super serious. Don't dwell on it. It's in the past anyway, and the same won't repeat again."
After hearing Rayne say this, Qian Daoliu didn't question any further.
The matters of Gods are far away from him, a mortal.
Even if he is one of the strongest mortals on Douluo continent, he is still not qualified to intervene on the matters of Gods.
"So, you are also the mysterious leader of Ouroboros Tower?"
"Yup. What? Envious?"
"Well... As expected of a God... You built an organization on par with our Spirit Hall in just a couple of years!" Qian Daoliu expressed his amazement.
"Well, it's me, after all! It was a piece of cake!"
"..." Qian Daoliu was silent and speechless.
"Rayne, why did you force Xue'er to return to Spirit Hall?" Qian Daoliu asked, while rubbing his forehead.
He was shocked when he saw his granddaughter suddenly return to Spirit Hall.
And on top of that, she also declared that she is giving up on the undercover mission, on which she spent more than a dozen years.
The reason being that, she was going to concentrate on training.
That woman Bibi Dong had made a lot of noise, and repeatedly complained and criticized his granddaughter for her reckless decision.
"Huh? Aren't you embarrassed to even ask me that? What is going on in that head of yours? You actually sent someone as talented as your granddaughter to do something, that is essentially a waste of her talent and time."
Rayne expressed his disdain without hiding it.
"Ugh... But that is a task from Lord Angel God! You're making things hard for me, Rayne." Qian Daoliu said in a distressed tone.
"Huh?" Rayne was a bit surprised.
"Oi, what do you mean by that?" Rayne asked.
"It was a message from Lord Angel God to have Xue'er do the undercover task, to train her mental quality." Qian Daoliu said.
"Are you kidding me?" Rayne looked speechless.
"What do you mean? I'm serious."
"Do you really think that makes any sense? I'll punch you in the face!" Rayne said with a frown, clenching his fist.
Qian Daoliu moved backward in fright.
"What do you expect me to do? That's the instruction from Lord Angel God!" Qian Daoliu said in a bit of aggrieved tone.
Even though he too felt this instruction a bit odd.
As the High Priest of Angel God, his responsibility is to follow the commands and instructions from his God.
"I was under the impression that this was a decision by your stupid son. If you say that this is an instruction from the Angel God, this changes things."
Rayne said to himself. At the same time, he had a vague idea of what was going on here.
'In the original novel, Sea God was able to interfere with Angel God Divine Tests and manipulate it as he pleased. If this so-called undercover mission is also from the divine revelation...'
'The aim of all this, is quite obvious. To delay Qian Renxue's ascension to Godhood. To make it so that... she won't become a God before Tang San.'
'Bibi Dong also seems to be delayed, and even her strength is restricted.'
'So Sea God is also in this with Asura God? So, from the very beginning, be it Qian Renxue or Bibi Dong. They were set up as stepping stones for Tang San by the two Gods.'
'There might even be some other gods involved in this as well.'
'Those fucking bastards! How dare they play around in my world! I'll send them all to oblivion!'
Rayne thought with an irritated look on his face.
'First, let's do something about Qian Renxue's Divine Tests. Which means, I have to deal with Sea God, who'll most likely try everything to obstruct my little angel.'
'No wonder this quest was ranked as Fate Quest, and the reward is even a Divine Core.'
'I was planning on keeping myself hidden from Divine Realm for a few more years and enjoy my mortal life. It can't be helped.'
'The combination of Asura God and Sea God? Leaving aside my personal strength, it's not like I don't have other means. Don't look down on me! I too have more than enough backing in Divine Realm.'
Thinking upto here, He looked at Qian Daoliu.
"Qian Daoliu, what do you think is the status of Angel God, right now?"
"A God, of course. What are you even asking?"
"That's not what I meant. I mean whether she is alive or dead."
"?! What are you even trying to say here? Although its few, I receive some revelations from time to time!" Qian Daoliu stated.
"Qian Daoliu, I hate to break it to you. But, your Angel God has already perished quite some time ago!"
"What?!"
"It's true, man. The one who is currently in charge of maintaining the Divine inheritance of your Angel God is Sea God. Which, by the way, isn't exactly a good thing."
"Sea God? You mean, the one from Sea God Island?"
"Yeah. The relationship between your Angel God and Sea God wasn't exactly friendly. Unlike your Angel God who was more straightforward and righteous... The sea God was more of a Crooked Hypocrite. While he isn't exactly an Evil kind of God, his hidden deeds aren't exactly very glorious as stated in the legends."
"Even the way he became a God was by antagonizing a lazy whale as a great evil."
"Also because of the competition for the power of faith from the same plane, these two gods weren't on friendly terms."
Hearing Rayne's words, Qian Daoliu was silent.
Did he believe Rayne's words? Of course he did.
He has known Rayne for some time. The other party is a former God King. There is no need to lie to him.
Qian Daoliu felt furious at being cheated by someone under the guise of the God he believes in.
But...
"Rayne, what should I do? Even if I know that Sea God is interfering with Angel God's Inheritance, I am powerless. Can you please help out? I'll do my best to repay your favor."
After thinking about it, Qian Daoliu felt a bit helpless at facing the maliciousness from a God who is said to be on par with Angel God.
He could only turn to his old friend Rayne and plead, hoping that the other party could do something about it.
Angel God Inheritance means a lot to himself and Qian Family.
It is their life mission to carry on the legacy of Angel God!
Not to mention, the one who would possibly inherit Angel God status is most likely is beloved granddaughter!
In another words, the main target of Sea God's malice will most likely be his granddaughter, Qian Renxue!
Although he felt somewhat shameless for doing this, Qian Daoliu could only turn to his friend Rayne for help.
"Hmm... Well, alright. I also want that girl to start her Divine Tests as soon as possible."
Rayne nodded, then handed over a silver glass bead to Qian Daoliu.
"What is this?"
Qian Daoliu looked at the glass bead in confusion. He felt some kind of Divine power within it. But he couldn't identify what this thing was for.
It definitely wasn't anything like a God-Given Soul Ring. That much, Qian Daoliu was sure of it.
"If you crush that, it will get the attention of the three Judgement Gods in Divine Realm. Just explain the circumstances to them, and they'll do the rest." Rayne said.
Qian Daoliu looked a but skeptical.
"Are you sure? Would those gods really offend Sea God, just for the sake of a deceased God's inheritance?"
Rayne smiled nonchalantly, and said.
"This is a matter of a God trying to interfere with the mortal world. Even if it was in the form of a revelation, that guy Sea God tried to interfere with the inheritance of another God."
"On top of that, he tried to have the potential heir of the said God, take over a mortal world region. If it was the heir's own will, then it would be nothing. But here, it was Sea God that started this. It counts as interference in mortal affairs."
"After those three hears of this from you and also collect sufficient evidence. The Sea God is in for the beating of his life."
Rayne said with a playful smile.
"Rayne... Do you know these three gods you refer to?" Qian Daoliu asked curiously.
He could see that, Rayne seemed to be quite sure of how the three Judgement Gods would act.
"Well, I was quite close with them back in the days." Rayne smiled.
Qian Daoliu also felt very relieved at the assurance given by Rayne.
At the same time, he couldn't help but thank the heavens for giving him the opportunity to have a friendship with someone like Rayne.
It was not just once or twice that this person has helped him.
In fact, Rayne was paying more than Qian Daoliu thought.
Once those three disciples of his, descend to Douluo Continent, they'll definitely hear about Ouroboros Tower.
And if they start investigating. It's only a matter of time before they find Rayne.
Well, unless he makes an effort to hide, which he wouldn't.
And because he is going to be exposed, he could only hope that those three would keep his presence in Douluo continent, a secret from his two God King wives in Divine Realm.
Especially from Shan Liang, the God King of Kindness.
If it's just his disciples, nothing should go wrong, right?
After that, Rayne and Qian Daoliu discussed a lot of things with each other.
Before parting, Rayne gave him the location of a Second-Class God's Inheritance Site.
"This is useless to me. I'm the high priest of Angel God, and have lost the qualification to become a God." Qian Daoliu said while smiling wryly.
"Just keep it. As for your qualifications, I think your granddaughter will do something about that." Rayne smiled.
...
As night fell and Rayne was having dinner with his family.
A great yet quiet disturbance in Space-Time occurred.
But only two individuals were able to sense it.
One was Rayne, a being with unparalleled affinity towards Space-Time.
The other was the daughter of Rayne and God King of Life Sheng Ming!
Betha, the God King of Time! A Supreme God King!
But, even she could only faintly feel this disturbance in time. Because, a far higher dimensional power, at the level of Laws of the Universe, was at work here.
It was not something God King, a fifth dimensional being, is capable of sensing.
Just the fact that she was able to even faintly feel it, shows her excellence.
Of course, a certain white haired handsome man was an exception to this dimensional difference in power.
Rayne was not only able to feel it, but was also able to trace it right back to the origin of this disturbance in time.
As he felt the silent yet great power of Time, Rayne silently looked at the distant skies with his vibrant blue eyes.
He saw seven clusters of spiritual lights entering this timeline.
"Those are... a collection of memories and Divine power. Seven unique ones. The regression..."
"So, it has started."
