Chương 458: Chapter 250: The Departed Martial Soul Hall, The Reborn Thunder Emperor City_2
He has already become a god, while I barely qualify as a Soul Douluo, the gap between us is unimaginable. Even if I turn to decay, I probably won't see his silhouette..."
Her tone carried an indescribable desolation.
Qiandaoliu slightly shook his head, "How could there be no chance? Your talent is already one in a million, not to mention with Grandpa here, you will definitely become a god."
He encouraged Qian Renxue, and even confidently assured her with a pat on his chest.
Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, her expression suddenly turned serious, "Grandpa, please stop talking about this. Even if I never see Qin Xiao's silhouette for the rest of my life, I won't inherit the godhood."
She was no longer as ignorant as she once was. She had realized the price Qiandaoliu would have to pay with his life for her to inherit the godhood.
On one side was godhood, on the other, the life of a loved one, Qian Renxue knew how she should choose.
Qiandaoliu's mouth displayed a bitter smile, "Little Snow, listen to Grandpa... Grandpa is old now, not of much use anymore.
It's even decided that at the upcoming first alliance meeting, I will announce the relinquishment of most of Martial Soul Hall's powers. After that, in this lifetime, I won't have much else to worry about..."
"The only thing I can't stop worrying about is you, if you became a god, even if Grandpa died, I would be at peace."
In fact, this wasn't the first time Qiandaoliu had mentioned this to Qian Renxue, but she had always refused.
Even now, Qian Renxue's divine exam was stalled at the third challenge; she was unwilling to move on to the next one.
"Grandpa, that's where you're wrong. If there comes a day when you're gone too, what good would having great cultivation do me?"
"It will always be useful..."
"You used to tell me, having great power is for protection, but if I have no one left to protect, then I don't care for such power."
Qian Renxue's attitude was as resolute as ever.
She also shared what was in her mind, "Besides, times have changed, with the anomalies in the heavens and earth, everyone has received different benefits, you must have realized something, right?
Normally, you could live for many more decades, so why couldn't you rely on your own cultivation to make a breakthrough? After reaching level one hundred and becoming a god, even without a divine position, one can still live for a very long time..."
"So you still hold such hope for Grandpa..." Qiandaoliu felt a warmth in his heart on hearing her words.
He felt that having a granddaughter like her made everything worthwhile.
"Of course." Qian Renxue nodded emphatically, "I also believe that if Grandpa reaches level one hundred and becomes a god, who's to say there won't be a way for you to inherit the position of the God of Angels, becoming the God of Angels yourself."
"Hahaha, become the God of Angels?"
"Little Snow, do you know that not even in Grandpa's dreams would he dare to imagine such a thing..."
Qiandaoliu laughed heartily after listening to Qian Renxue's words.
"Shouldn't we dream? What if it becomes a reality? The words you just said, I am now giving them back to you."
"Okay, I'll take your good words to heart," Qiandaoliu nodded firmly, no longer mentioning the inheritance of godhood.
He watched Qian Renxue for a while, then suddenly said, "Little Snow, have you ever thought about pursuing what you want in another way?
Look at the people around Qin Xiao, they may not have prominent statuses, nor talents higher than yours, but they have caught Qin Xiao's eye..."
"Yes, maybe they have some qualities I don't know about..." Qian Renxue's expression became distant for a moment, her eyes dimming somewhat.
"What they can give to Qin Xiao may not be anything special, but rather two words...companionship."
"Companionship."
"Exactly." Qiandaoliu nodded, "They are by Qin Xiao's side when he needs them, even proactively offering to follow Qin Xiao wherever he goes..."
"Moreover, with Qin Xiao's status, position, strength, and talent, to be his woman, you don't need a corresponding status, position, strength, or talent to match him because in this aspect, no one can compare to him."
So that was it!
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's body shook violently.
Qiandaoliu's words were like a wake-up call to someone deep in slumber.
It turns out, to be with Qin Xiao, all she needed were two words...
"But..."
Qian Renxue had words on the tip of her tongue, but couldn't bring herself to say them.
She was the ruler of Tiandou Empire, as well as the Young Master of Martial Soul Hall, carrying far too much responsibility. How could she possibly abandon everything to accompany Qin Xiao?
It was unrealistic, far too unrealistic.
"But you carry too much on your shoulders, don't you?"
"It makes you unable to give up everything to be with her, right?"
Qiandaoliu sighed inwardly. How could he not see Qian Renxue's predicament?
Qian Renxue silently nodded.
Then Qiandaoliu said something shocking in the next moment, "Then just let go, give up everything and pursue what you want..."
"What!" Qian Renxue was shocked, "Grandfather, you can't be joking, how can one simply let go like that?"
"It wouldn't have been possible in the past, but now it is."
"Today's Tiandou, Xingluo, and Martial Soul Hall have no competition, and even forces like the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan have merged with us, uniting as one. Such an astonishing move has already exceeded the plans of our Martial Soul Hall...
So, you can give up on some of the past decisions."
Qiandaoliu's voice was filled with complexity and sighs
One had to say, the changes in Soul Land had greatly exceeded his expectations.
He had never dreamt that it would become the situation it was now.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
Qian Renxue's mind was a blank slate, completely unaware of how to proceed.
"Give up your identity as Emperor Qinghe and return to being yourself."
Qiandaoliu looked into Qian Renxue's eyes and said, "Remember, don't be the Young Master of Martial Soul Hall either, just be the pure Qian Renxue.
Then go do anything that you want to do, whether it's traveling to the ends of the earth or waiting for Qin Xiao to come back and staying by Qin Xiao's side, it's up to you."
"Can I, really do that..." Qian Renxue's heart trembled, and even her voice was shaking.
But her heart was moved.
Truly moved.
She had lived for decades and had never lived for herself. She really wanted to know what the taste of true freedom was like.
"Why couldn't you, as long as you want to." Qiandaoliu smiled too; he knew he wasn't wrong in doing this.
And having experienced so much, he had come to see things clearly.
Power, cultivation level, none of it was as important as being happy.
Thinking it over, he added, "Of course, giving up doesn't mean abandoning Tiandou Empire outright; after all, that's years of work you've put in.
The current Soul Land no longer operates on a monarchy system but on a federation system. Making any decision requires a vote among multiple powers. You don't need to worry that without you, the influence of Tiandou Empire will be consumed by others.
You can, at the first summit of the federation in three days, propose to take a temporary rest as Emperor Qinghe. You can leave some matters related to Tiandou to Ning Fengzhi to handle.
Then, you can appear before countless people without any concerns using the identity of Qian Renxue."
And by doing this, you're also leaving an option open for yourself, not letting your years of hard work go to waste. If one day you wish to take control again, you can stand out with the identity of Emperor Qinghe and take over the power of Tiandou."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell, "Grandfather, this is really a good plan. Thank you so much; I'll go prepare right now!"
After speaking, Qian Renxue didn't wait for Qiandaoliu to reply, and she ran off jumping and hopping.
"Ah..."
Qiandaoliu couldn't help but shake his head.
Just a moment ago, she was his most important person, and now her heart has already taken flight?
It's only because Qin Xiao had temporarily disappeared; otherwise, Qian Renxue would have run straight to Qin Xiao in minutes.
"It's hard to keep a grown girl at home..."
A torrent of words turned into a sigh in Qiandaoliu's heart.
But the next moment, his expression became stern.
"What has happened?"
As his words fell, the silhouette of Snakelance Douluo appeared behind him.
"Great Priest, outside the inner city, a woman dressed in a red robe has come. She says her name is Poseissi..."
"Eh, where's the Great Priest?"
Before Snakelance Douluo could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that Qiandaoliu had vanished from in front of him.
