The moment the angel's mark was imprinted, the pillar of light suddenly contracted and rolled back into the statue.
The solemnity of the offering hall was restored, leaving only the golden mark between Qian Renxue's brows and the lingering holy aura emanating from her.
Everything happened too fast. Qian Renxue didn't even have time to fully appreciate the divine power surging into her body. She just looked up at her grandfather in a daze.
However, the scene before her eyes stunned her.
Qian Daoliu, the peerless Douluo of level ninety-nine who stood at the pinnacle of the continent and controlled the highest power of the Spirit Hall, was now kneeling on both knees, tears streaming down his face.
He gazed up at the enormous six-winged angel statue, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, his lips quivering as if he were talking in his sleep, or perhaps praying.
"Nine exams...it's nine exams...hahaha...it's nine exams!"
He suddenly laughed, but the tears flowed even more fiercely.
Then, he turned around abruptly, staring intently at Qian Renxue, his gaze so fervent it was almost igniting.
"Xue'er, my dear granddaughter!"
Qian Daoliu stood up and walked somewhat unsteadily to Qian Renxue.
"You have been chosen by the great angel God! Can you feel it? It is God! It is the true God who has chosen you!"
Qian Renxue asked, puzzled, "Grandpa, what exactly does 'Nine Examinations' mean?"
"It means..."
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his voice.
"It means that as long as you complete these nine trials, you... will inherit the divine position of the Angel God and become the new god of this continent!"
"Angel God?!"
"Grandpa, I understand."
"Let's begin the first test!"
...
Meanwhile, in Soto.
Liulitian, inside the venue.
Ning Liu leaned back comfortably on the soft sofa, listening to Li An's report in front of him.
Compared to a few months ago, Ang Lee seems to have aged a bit, but he stands up straight and is full of energy.
"My lord, everything you entrusted to us has been accomplished."
As Ang Lee spoke, he handed over a thick file.
"First of all, the coastal port was completed ahead of schedule this afternoon. The surrounding supporting facilities, such as docks, warehouses, and markets, have also been completed and put into use. It is now the most prosperous port on the east coast of the mainland, without exception."
Ning Liu took the file, flipped through it casually, and nodded in satisfaction.
This port is the cornerstone of his future maritime strategy, and its importance is self-evident.
Seeing this, Ang Lee continued his report:
"Secondly, as per your request, the first batch of one thousand sets of standardized hidden weapons from the Tang Clan, including sleeve arrows, flying needles, and sand-spraying projectiles, have all been distributed to the core members of the Glazed Heaven Sect and have undergone unified training by the Tang Clan's craftsmen."
As he spoke, a hint of excitement appeared on Ang Lee's face.
He had developed his own set of hidden weapons and personally tested their power. They were unpredictable, unpredictable, and impossible to defend against. They were practically tailor-made killer weapons for support or defense-type Soul Masters like himself.
"Hmm, well done."
Ning Liu praised.
Li An paused, his tone tinged with admiration and excitement:
"Finally, there is another piece of great news. Elder Titan successfully broke through during his cultivation the day before yesterday, and his soul power officially entered level ninety!"
"oh?"
Ning Liu raised his eyebrows; this was an unexpected delight.
Titled Douluo are like pillars of strength in any power.
Moreover, Titan's martial spirit has evolved once!
Once one achieves the title of Title Douluo, their combat strength will be considerable.
"but……"
Li An continued, "Elder Titan said that since you haven't returned, he feels it's inappropriate for him to leave the sect to hunt for the ninth soul ring, so he's still within the sect consolidating his cultivation and awaiting your instructions."
Upon hearing this, Ning Liu couldn't help but chuckle.
This old gorilla is really a straightforward person.
However, it's good to have this loyalty and discipline.
"But good news keeps coming."
Ning Liu stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the bustling city of Soto below.
Ang Lee.
"Your subordinate is here."
"Go and inform Elder Titan to hand over his current duties."
Ning Liu turned around.
"He's coming with me this time to overseas. Perhaps his ninth spirit ring will find a better option on the vast ocean."
Upon hearing this, Ang Lee was startled.
He had been by Ning Liu's side the longest and knew best the vast world hidden in the young owner's heart.
"Yes! I'll take care of it immediately!"
Ang Lee bowed and accepted the order without the slightest hesitation.
Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something and hesitated before speaking:
"Master, there is one more thing. According to the original plan, this auction has been postponed for two days because we were waiting for your return."
“Look at the time…”
Ning Liu pondered for a moment.
Auctions are a crucial source of funding for Liuli Tian, and also a means for him to receive system rewards! They can't be stopped!
Exploring overseas is a crucial step in opening up new prospects, and it is equally urgent.
"We will continue to collect items as usual. In addition, I will provide a few more rare items that will be auctioned."
Ning Liu spoke up.
"Pass down the word: the auction will begin tomorrow!"
"tomorrow?!"
Ang Lee was taken aback.
"Go ahead and do it."
Ning Liu waved his hand, "This time, the auction items don't need any pre-event promotion. You just need to set up the venue."
"Yes, I understand."
Li An bowed respectfully, then turned and quickly left.
The office door was gently closed, and the room returned to silence.
Ning Liu sat back down on the sofa.
Just now, he was thinking about personally leading the team out to sea while the auction continued.
After all, there were no requirements for returning it; he had to be present.
The returned items will go directly to him.
"Since you've made up your mind, then..."
Ning Liu's mind stirred, and his consciousness sank into his brain.
"System, select items for the next auction!"
