Qian Renxue slowly stood up, the confusion in her eyes gradually fading, replaced by a resolute and determined light.
She looked at Qian Daoliu, her tone calm yet revealing an undeniable resolve:
"Grandpa, since Qian Renshang is still alive, he is an obstacle I must overcome.
He defeated me before, and I will not rest until I avenge him.
This time, I will definitely go all out to defeat him and prove that I am the true strong one."
Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
He knew Qian Renxue's pride and stubbornness, which might become a powerful driving force for her to break through her limitations.
But at the same time, his worries did not lessen in the slightest:
"Xue'er, Qian Renshang's strength is now unfathomable. Even Bibi Dong, who has become a god, could not gain the upper hand against him.
How easy is it for you to defeat him?
You must be fully prepared and must not underestimate him."
Qian Renxue's expression was solemn, her thoughts tangled like a jumbled mess.
In her view, since Qian Renshang could defeat Bibi Dong, who had already become a god, it was highly likely that he himself had become a god.
Thinking of this, a strong sense of unease welled up within her.
"If Qian Renshang also becomes a god, will I still be his match?"
Qian Renxue murmured to herself, a hint of insecurity flashing in her eyes. Once, relying on the inheritance of the Angel God, she believed she had reached the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, but now, the appearance of Qian Renshang had begun to shake her confidence.
She knew that even though she had inherited the Angel God's position, the path to godhood was not smooth sailing, and her strength had not yet reached its peak.
And Qian Renshang, this younger brother whom she had once considered a rival, yet who always brought her surprises, might now be standing at the same level as her, or even higher.
Qian Renxue bit her lip, her resentment and competitive spirit burning like flames.
She absolutely refused to be suppressed by Qian Renshang like this; no matter the cost, she would surpass him.
"No, I can definitely defeat him!"
Qian Renxue clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and began to think of ways to improve her strength.
"Grandpa, I need more information about the Angel God's inheritance, and ways to increase divine power."
Qian Renxue turned to look at Qian Daoliu, her eyes filled with determination and longing.
Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. He understood Qian Renxue's urgency, but increasing divine power was no easy task.
"Xue'er, I have imparted all the information about the Angel God's legacy to you.
As for enhancing divine power, besides continuous cultivation and comprehension, you also need to find some special opportunities.
However, such opportunities are rare and hard to come by."
Qian Renxue's expression was somewhat grim.
Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, torn between her inner conflict and her own. On one hand, she desperately wanted to know Qian Renshang's true strength and whether he had truly become a god.
On the other hand, she was reluctant to ask Bibi Dong about this matter, given their complicated past and conflicts.
But her intense thirst for knowledge ultimately triumphed over her inner turmoil.
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, made a firm decision, and decided to ask Bibi Dong directly, since only the one she had just fought knew the truth.
A flash of light appeared around her, and with a single step, she traversed space almost instantly using the Angel God's divine power, arriving at the Papal Palace.
