A night breeze blew in through the open window, stirring up the remaining steam in the teacups on the table.
Ning Liu picked up his teacup, took another sip of tea, and looked at it with a hint of amusement.
Qian Daoliu's hurried appearance at the end was just like a mother hen protecting her food, afraid that her chicks would fall behind in the race.
From his initial coercion upon arriving in Liuli Heaven, to his desperate struggle in the middle, and finally to his gratitude, the speed of this peerless Douluo's emotional transformation is truly remarkable.
This was no longer a simple marriage alliance; in Qian Daoliu's mind, it had become a grand "palace intrigue" drama concerning the honor, disgrace, rise and fall of the Angel God Clan.
Qian Renxue was the athlete he put on the track.
Struggle?
Ning Liu put down the teacup, her fingertips gently stroking the smooth surface of the cup.
He doesn't dislike this kind of "competition".
Only with desires and goals can something have value.
An angel lying flat is of no use to him.
Qian Daoliu's eagerness and calculations suited his wishes perfectly.
That "Decree of Faith in the Angels" wasn't given for nothing.
It is both a shortcut to divinity and an invisible shackle.
From the moment Qian Renxue accepted it, the future of the Angel lineage was firmly bound to him.
The faster she ascends to godhood and the stronger she becomes, the more stable her future pantheon will be.
This is a sure-fire way to make money.
With his thoughts withdrawn from the Spirit Hall, Ning Liu turned his attention to himself.
External allies are ultimately external forces; the strength of one's own power is the foundation for standing firm in this world.
With a thought, his consciousness sank into a system space.
In the center of this space, an ancient altar floats silently.
This is one of the most important treasures he currently possesses: the altar of faith.
He's only starting to look at it properly now!
The altar is noticeably different now compared to before.
The originally rustic stone surface now has a faint sheen.
The aura of the entire altar became more restrained and purer.
Ning Liu could sense that the upgraded altar possessed even greater power!
This was also evident in previous experiments on Titan!
It can more keenly perceive the authority of gods in the world that are without a master or whose inheritors have fallen, and like a lighthouse, it can guide the chosen people and even build bridges.
This is the real weapon prepared for our own people.
Thinking of this, familiar faces from the Glazed Heaven involuntarily surfaced in Ning Liu's mind.
Since the goal is to cultivate one's own core group of followers, it is natural to start with the most important people within the group.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly remembered something he had forgotten in a corner.
That was a divine item that I obtained through a system refund at the auction.
He opened his palm, a thought stirring in his mind.
The next moment, a crystal-clear "tear" appeared in his palm.
This teardrop, about the size of a pigeon's egg, was not a liquid, but a peculiar ice crystal.
At its core, it seems to seal away a miniature blizzard that never stops, with countless tiny ice crystals swirling and dancing within, refracting a dreamlike luster.
An extremely cold aura emanated from it, but it did not harm anyone. Instead, it carried an ancient loneliness and sorrow, as if it were the last tear shed by a god before his fall.
Tears of the Mystic Ice Divine Guide!
Possessing this item will unlock the secret realm of the God of Ice's legacy—"Eternal Ice Plains".
At the same time, it is also the most perfect medium for inheritance, which can help the inheritor to match the power of the Mystic Ice Divine Power to the greatest extent.
This is a ticket directly to the position of a god.
A level three god, the god of ice!
Looking at that tear, a cold and beautiful figure instantly filled Ning Liu's mind.
Shui Bing'er.
Her martial spirit is the top-tier Ice Phoenix, which is a perfect match for the divine power of the Xuanbing God.
Giving this to her is the most appropriate thing to do.
But then, Ning Liu thought of another question.
Shui Bing'er is currently undergoing the Sea God's top-level seven trials.
Although the person has returned with me, the top seven tests are not yet complete!
Although the Seven Trials of the Top Level are not the Nine Trials of the Top Level, completing them can grant one a godhood, but they are still tests by the Sea God!
A mortal being tested by two gods at the same time?
I've never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it.
A strange smile appeared on Ning Liu's face.
Others spend their entire lives and still can't even touch the threshold of God.
He, on the other hand, started worrying about having too many divine positions under his command and not knowing how to allocate them.
If Qian Daoliu knew this, he would probably have his Dao heart shattered on the spot and question the meaning of life.
However, this seemingly absurd idea warmed Ning Liu's heart.
Why not?
The Sea God's inheritance follows a traditional assessment path, requiring one to take it one step at a time, testing one's character, perseverance, and talent.
The inheritance of the God of Mystic Ice is practically guaranteed by the "Tears of Divine Guidance," a medium that can be considered an external cheat code.
Moreover, isn't this God of Profound Ice a third-level god of the Sea God lineage?
There may not be much conflict between the two.
What would it be like if we succeeded?
Once this thought arises, it grows like wild grass, impossible to contain.
Risk and reward go hand in hand, but the reward is far too tempting.
He has never been a timid or hesitant person.
As for whether Shui Bing'er could withstand it, he believed in her abilities.
With that thought in mind, Ning Liu no longer hesitated.
He looked at the communication soul tool in front of him and slowly poured his soul power into it, causing a soft blue halo to appear on the surface of the soul tool.
Then, the sound traveled out smoothly.
"Shui Bing'er, come to me."
"immediately."
