"You... what did you just say?"
Qian Renxue froze in shock.
Lin Yu repeated seriously, "I said—you, Qian Renxue, can become the next Angel God!"
"Come back, Sister Xue. Staying there will only delay your path to godhood. Return to Spirit Hall, and let's cultivate together to become gods! Let's inherit the divine positions together and become powerful deities!"
"Then, with our combined divine power, we can easily overthrow both the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires and lead Spirit Hall to unify the entire Douluo Continent!"
"Standing proud at the peak of the continent!!"
Lin Yu wasn't joking. He said all this with complete seriousness and determination.
That whole plan about infiltrating the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and fighting for the throne? If Qian Renxue had just stayed home to cultivate instead of going to Heaven Dou, she would have already become a god by now.
In a world dominated by soul masters, no matter the conflict or war, soul masters are the core power.
Sure, the Heaven Dou Empire boasts a mighty million-strong army—but in front of a god, they'd be utterly crushed.
The value of nurturing a god far outweighs the value of commanding a million soldiers.
In the original story, by the later stages, everything came down to those high-ranking Title Douluo and gods—whoever had stronger gods, won.
Whoever's top-tier powerhouses won in battle, won the war. It was that simple.
That's why absolute power is the true key to victory!
As long as he and Qian Renxue reached godhood, they could easily lead Spirit Hall to unify the continent.
Sure, Lin Yu had plenty of ways to ensure Qian Renxue's infiltration didn't fail this time—like taking out Dugu Bo early on. That alone would guarantee her success.
But there was no need for that at all. Instead of wasting time in the Heaven Dou Palace, it was far better to return early, reach godhood quickly, and start the war—it would be a sure win.
Even if Qian Renxue became a god just five years earlier, Tang San and his group wouldn't be able to stop her at all.
Not to mention, this time around, Spirit Hall had Lin Yu. He wouldn't even need to bother killing Tang San—just securing the immortal herbs and stopping Xiao Wu from sacrificing herself for him would already be enough.
Just those two points would massively slow Tang San's growth, making it impossible for him to keep up with Spirit Hall's pace in unifying the continent.
And as a member of the Angel Clan, Lin Yu naturally intended to help Spirit Hall achieve that great conquest this time.
"I… I can become the Angel God?"
Qian Renxue looked at Lin Yu's determined gaze, filled with conviction and passion, and almost believed him.
She gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Our Six-Winged Angel Clan has passed down the line for over ten thousand years, and aside from the original Angel God, no ancestor has ever triggered the Angel's Nine Trials or inherited the Angel God's position."
"I admit I have talent, but I'm not arrogant enough to think I'm destined for divine inheritance."
Her grandfather Qian Daoliu was already such a powerful figure, and even he only received the Eighth Trial of the Angel. So how could she possibly surpass him?
"What if I told you—you absolutely can?" Lin Yu replied.
Qian Renxue laughed. "Absolutely? Based on your gut feeling? What proof do you have? Or did one of those gods that passed their legacy to you tell you the Angel God is going to pass it on to me?"
"I don't know how else to explain it. Just think of it like this—I have the ability to foresee the future. And I can say with 100% certainty that you will become the successor of the Angel God."
"You…"
"Why is he so confident?"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, gazing into Lin Yu's eyes—firm, unwavering, and full of conviction.
There was something about it—some kind of magic—that made her actually start to believe him.
For the first time, Qian Renxue seriously considered the possibility: Can I really do it?
For the first time, she dared to dream and hope of becoming the Angel God.
She also began to crave more than ever the idea of abandoning the infiltration plan and staying in Spirit Hall.
A wild thought kept rising in her mind.
Qian Renxue bit her lip, as if making some major decision. "Alright! Then I'll take the risk… and trust you this once!"
The Angel God's trials can only be initiated at age 18—that was a rule set by their clan's ancestors.
Qian Renxue could already imagine that if she used her potential to become the Angel God as the reason for abandoning her mission and returning, she would face severe doubt and backlash from the higher-ups.
Even worse—
If she failed to receive the Nine Trials at 18, the humiliation would be unbearable. She would never be able to lift her head in Spirit Hall again.
So this decision came with immense pressure for her.
But Lin Yu's firm and unwavering words gave her unexpected reassurance. He said, "You're wrong—it's not a gamble. It's a guaranteed winning choice."
"Why is he so sure?" Qian Renxue wondered to herself.
Then she looked serious and said, "I'm making this decision—but you can't tell anyone, including my grandfather."
"I have to go back and eliminate the second prince of the Heaven Dou Empire first. Then, I'll fake the death of my identity as the crown prince Xue Qinghe and vanish from the scene."
Heaven Dou has four princes.
The crown prince, Xue Qinghe, is both scholarly and skilled in martial arts—but only moderately so, with no exceptional strengths…
The second prince, Xue Luochuan, was extremely intelligent and a major threat.
The third prince, Xue Wu, was brave but lacked wisdom, though his soul master talent was very high.
The fourth prince, Xue Beng, was still very young.
At present, Qian Renxue had already eliminated the crown prince Xue Qinghe and disguised herself as him. She had also successfully taken out the third prince, Xue Wu.
The second prince, Xue Luochuan, was still unresolved.
The second prince posed the greatest threat to Qian Renxue. If he was not eliminated, then her plan to fake the death of the identity of Xue Qinghe might go wrong.
Lin Yu asked, "About how much time will it take?"
"That depends on the situation, roughly about a year."
"Alright then, I might also head to the vicinity of Tian Dou City around that time. If the timing is right, maybe we can return together."
Qian Renxue was a bit curious and asked, "What are you going to Tian Dou City for?"
"Secret."
"Hmph, if you're not going to say, then forget it. Good night."
The next day, early morning.
Lin Yu was already used to waking up promptly at seven. He saw a letter placed on the table.
He opened it and found it was left by Qian Renxue.
Inside, it said: By the time you see this letter, I will have already left. Over the next year, you must train hard. After a year, I will return to check if you have made progress.
By then, don't still be so fragile and weak, okay?
"A year later, huh…"
He chuckled softly to himself, carefully putting away the letter.
Then he resumed his cultivation.
Over the coming days, Lin Yu would be guided and trained in turn by the seven great instructors: Qian Daoliu, Jin E, Qing Luan, Xiong Shi, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo.
This was truly a top-tier team of mentors!
Each one was serious and gave their all, imparting everything they knew, helping Lin Yu to grow rapidly day by day.
Time flew by swiftly and before he knew it—
One year had passed!
