The shining golden light made it hard for Qian Renxue to open her eyes, overshadowing all of her angelic radiance.
Images of becoming a god began to flash in her consciousness; it was the God of Angels, something she currently didn't even dare to imagine.
Even though she knew she was the sole heir to the Qian family bloodline and would be a peerless genius if not a god in the future.
But to admit now that her ascension to godhood was just around the corner, she didn't dare make such a bold claim.
So she tried her best to open her eyes; she wanted to see clearly what this thing actually was.
Could this man, who intended to pry into her secrets, truly be telling the truth? But how could there be such an absurd thing in the world?
She saw the investiture of the gods list scroll fluttering slightly in the air like a piece of thin paper, its brilliant golden light seemingly reflecting the long river of history.
There were no words on it, yet it exuded an invitation everywhere that as long as a name was on the list, one could be invested as a god.
After much deliberation, Qian Renxue was convinced this was nothing but an illusion; the rules of the Douluo Continent had been set for a million years, and becoming a god couldn't possibly be this easy.
"This is definitely an illusion you've conjured. I don't believe anyone else could possess the Seraphim Spirit."
Qian Renxue's willpower was still strong; she could still move freely under the investiture of the gods list.
She raised her sword, revealing its sharp edge once more, and swung a crescent-shaped wave of light toward Chu Feng.
Chu Feng sheathed his sword and stood his ground gracefully. When the wave of light was close at hand, he lightly blew a breath.
This breath was no ordinary one; it could be called the Qi of Primordial Chaos. To those who dared to defy their superiors, it was like the wrath of thunderous punishment.
Boom! After the light wave exploded, it was like dots of starlight scattering all over the ground.
Occasionally, a spark would ignite and erupt upward like a blooming flower; this was a small surprise from Chu Feng to Qian Renxue.
"How is it? Are the fireworks beautiful? My angel baby."
Chu Feng spoke with a hint of teasing; he had completely taken a liking to Qian Renxue.
She had the figure and the strength; if not for her status as a supporting female character, she wouldn't have faced such disasters in the future.
Qian Renxue was furious. At this moment, how she wished she were a god; how could she be toyed with by such a frivolous young man?
"Third Spirit Ability: Angelic Sword Rain!"
Unwilling to give up, a murderous intent appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes.
She was going to stake all the cultivation she had gained over twenty years just to defeat Chu Feng.
"You are a person of unknown origin and speak such nonsense. Do you really think my angelic power can do nothing to you?"
Her cold and elegant face flashed with ferocity. Aggressive and haughty, she completely ignored Chu Feng's words; she was indeed proud enough.
But to Chu Feng, it felt more like enjoyment; he wished the storm would come even more fiercely.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Countless golden needles appeared in Chu Feng's broad field of vision.
They were so dense that not even a breath of air could escape, and every needle carried Qian Renxue's immense rage.
"Let's see how you handle this move of mine!"
Qian Renxue gave the command, and the sword rain immediately poured down.
Chu Feng remained motionless as a treasure appeared in his right palm.
"god beating whip!"
This whip was three feet, six inches, and five points long, with twenty-one sections. Each section had four talismans, totaling eighty-four talismans.
The function of this whip was just like its name: it was specifically for beating the three thousand gods, hitting whoever refused to submit.
And since Qian Renxue hadn't become a god yet, wouldn't its power be even more transcendent?
Chu Feng observed it for a moment, then threw the god beating whip.
The whip spun wildly in the air, forming a dark bronze stream of light that charged into the rain of golden needles.
Its power was truly astounding; all the golden needles immediately melted and shattered upon contact with it, leaving not a single trace.
Moreover, because the golden needle rain was so dense, the whip became even more vigorous as it spun, and a divine aura began to emanate from it.
"How is it possible!"
Qian Renxue had just thought victory was in her grasp and was about to let her spirit power recede when she was stunned by the scene before her.
She personally witnessed her painstakingly cultivated secret technique appear completely powerless under the swing of a mere stick.
And because she hadn't been in actual combat for years, she was unable to launch another attack of the same power.
In other words, she had lost, and she had lost miserably.
She looked up at the investiture of the gods list still hanging overhead, which seemed to be making a contemptuous sound at her.
She gnashed her teeth, filled with rage and a refusal to accept defeat.
At this moment, Chu Feng spread his angelic wings again and flew into the air. After overwhelming Qian Renxue, it was time to have her invested as a god.
After all, that's how it was with Jiang Ziya back then; only the dead were worthy of being granted a God Position. But Chu Feng had a bit of a conscience; he knew how to cherish a beautiful woman.
Chu Feng said, "What about now? Do you still want to be stubborn?"
"I... I don't admit defeat," Qian Renxue continued to be stubborn.
Chu Feng continued, "Then do you still want to go back to the Heaven Dou Empire? To continue pretending to be Xue Qinghe?"
"How do you know? This is my mission; what does it have to do with you?" Qian Renxue said angrily.
Chu Feng added, "As long as you become a god, let alone a Heaven Dou Empire, you will have everything you want."
"That's not realistic. Where would you get such ability?" Qian Renxue doubted.
Chu Feng flew in front of the investiture of the gods list and gently stroked it with his hand; the surrounding divine aura intensified once again.
"By this!"
Chu Feng spoke with conviction, making Qian Renxue feel uneasy. She had never felt such powerful spirit power; it could be said that even her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, was only at this level.
Thinking of her grandfather, Qian Renxue's inner resolve instantly crumbled. She realized one thing: could the power of the investiture of the gods list be higher than a Level 99 Titled Douluo?
Chu Feng continued, his tone becoming more emphatic, "Accept my God Position, and I will help you sweep through Heaven Dou and return to the Spirit Hall!"
This deafening, cloud-piercing sound resonated through every part of Qian Renxue's body, possessing a kind of magic that drew her in.
Her obsession deepened as the investiture of the gods list floated, deeper and deeper, until her heart became firm, firm.
Finally, she compromised. She decided she wanted to be invested as a god!
"But is becoming a god really that simple?"
Qian Renxue's mindset began to shift.
"Of course. You only need to undergo the Investiture Trial to become a god. And with me here, I guarantee your ascension will be worry-free!"
Chu Feng said boldly as he took back the god beating whip. As he gripped it—perhaps being a bit unfamiliar with it—the divine force caused three claps of thunder in the sky.
Qian Renxue's spirit power was frightened into receding completely. It wasn't by her own will, but forcibly suppressed by the divine force.
At this point, Qian Renxue had nothing left to say. Even if her pure white form was seen by Chu Feng, what was there left to argue about?
"I want to become a god!"
With Qian Renxue's consent, Chu Feng smiled happily.
The investiture of the gods list began to roll like waves, and a massive golden light seethed.
After a while, the scroll slowly calmed down, and a distinct black-and-white Taiji Bagua Diagram drifted out from the center.
Qian Renxue's eyes widened; she didn't want to miss a single second of this amazing scene.
The Taiji diagram kept approaching the investiture of the gods list until it fitted perfectly, becoming as transparent as water.
Then, in the blank space on the far right of the investiture of the gods list, three characters appeared vertically from top to bottom, the golden engravings being extremely beautiful.
Qian Renxue—her name became the first god on the investiture of the gods list.
Chu Feng said joyfully, "Congratulations to the new god on the list! The trial begins now. Once you become a god, you shall enjoy your God Position forever!"
