Chapter 534: If Loyalty Is Not Absolute, Then It Is Absolute Betrayal!
Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment, closing her eyes as memories flashed through her mind.
Her grandfather burning his life force for her.
Her mother sacrificing herself, blocking Tang San's attack so she could live.
And herself? Blind in judgment, falling for Tang San, repeatedly sparing him, even believing his empty promise that he would let her go after their divine battle.
Yet, in the end, Tang San orchestrated her "suicide" and threw her into the Netherworld, where she suffered for ten thousand agonizing years, accomplishing nothing.
Now, she even faced the looming threat that if she successfully reforged her godhood, Tang San would come to reap the rewards.
If she couldn't leave the Netherworld, if she couldn't take revenge on Tang San, then what was the point of her existence?
Maybe this young man's promises were nothing but lies.
But she had no choice she had to take the gamble.
This was her only chance to take revenge on Tang San.
As long as she had not avenged herself, her soul would never be at peace!
She took a deep breath and finally made her decision. "Fine, I accept."
Huo Yuhao nodded and briefly communicated with the Will of the Douluo Plane, ensuring that it remained alert while he transported Qian Renxue's divine soul back. After all, he had never brought a divine soul out of the Netherworld before, so it was wise to have an extra layer of preparation.
He then turned to Qian Renxue. "Relax your mind we're leaving the Netherworld now!"
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy Pavilion
A flash of white light, and Huo Yuhao reappeared in the pavilion alongside Qian Renxue.
Meanwhile, Electrolux had already returned to Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
Qian Renxue scanned her surroundings.
Her gorgeous golden eyes widened in disbelief.
She had really returned to the Douluo Plane.
She had originally assumed that the plane itself would reject her, and that Huo Yuhao and his teacher would have to resort to some desperate measures to force her entry perhaps even at great cost.
But no.
She had entered with astonishing ease.
Clearly, this young man and his teacher were far more extraordinary than she had imagined.
At that moment, the Angel Clan spirit masters, who had been waiting in the pavilion, had their casual expressions wiped away in an instant.
All of them widened their eyes in shock at the sight of Huo Yuhao and Qian Renxue, their bodies trembling uncontrollably as expressions of pure excitement filled their faces.
The reason was simple.
From the flawlessly beautiful girl beside Huo Yuhao, they felt a resonance deep within their very bloodlines.
A suppressed pressure emanated from her body, making them instinctively want to kneel.
Even Ye Guyi, whose potential was limitless, could not invoke such reverence from these Angel Clan spirit masters.
Moreover, the radiant girl before them possessed three pairs of angelic wings, wore golden battle armor, and wielded a flaming longsword.
Her entire being exuded an overwhelmingly pure divine aura.
Every detail about her perfectly matched the historical records of their ancestor, Qian Renxue.
Zhao Die'er, overcome with emotion, fell to her knees. "Current leader of the Angel Clan, Zhao Die'er, pays respects to the returning ancestor!"
At her words, the other Angel Clan spirit masters followed suit, kneeling in unison and chanting, "We welcome the ancestor's return!"
Only Ye Guyi remained standing, calmly studying Qian Renxue.
From a seniority standpoint, Qian Renxue naturally outranked everyone here.
And because she had once been the Angel God, to these spirit masters, she was more than just an ancestor she was divine.
Qian Renxue looked at the kneeling spirit masters, her expression complicated.
She had been away from the Douluo Plane for far too long.
She didn't even know what to say.
At that moment, Electrolux's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.
"Yuhao, your decision to have Qian Renxue help Ye Guyi inherit the Angel God Position was correct. The Angel God Position should only belong to someone truly trustworthy. Otherwise, it could lead to disastrous consequences."
"These Angel Clan spirit masters are already under your command, yet they kneeled to Qian Renxue without your permission. If we didn't have the means to control them, I would suggest turning them into undead because the greatest advantage of the undead is their unwavering loyalty."
As the Necromancer Saint, a man who had led an army of a million undead to destroy an empire, Electrolux was not a merciful person.
Even if the Angel Clan spirit masters' actions seemed reasonable, since they were paying respects to their ancestor, Electrolux's past had made him deeply wary of betrayal.
After all, it was his lover's betrayal that led to his family's massacre.
For Electrolux, that was a wound that could never heal.
So he refused to let even the smallest hint of disloyalty go unchecked.
Huo Yuhao responded through their spiritual link. "Teacher, I understand your concern. If loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolute betrayal."
"But in the Douluo Plane, these Angel Clan spirit masters and Qian Renxue cannot cause any major trouble after all, the Will of the Plane is still here."
"However, I will implement certain measures to ensure both the Angel Clan and Qian Renxue remain loyal. For that, I will need your assistance to make my plan even more effective."
"Understood," Electrolux replied.
At that moment, Qian Renxue raised her hand and waved lightly.
"All of you, rise. My return was only possible thanks to... oh, wait, you never told me your name."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao calmly responded, "My name is Huo Yuhao."
Qian Renxue nodded, then continued, "My return was only possible thanks to Huo Yuhao. Without him, I might never have made it back to the Douluo Plane. You should all be grateful to him."
After enduring ten thousand years in the Netherworld, suffering Tang San's betrayal, and endlessly reflecting on her past, Qian Renxue had grown wiser.
She understood human nature better now.
Since Huo Yuhao's teacher chose to remain hidden, it meant he must have his reasons, so she didn't ask.
And since she and Huo Yuhao were currently allies, why not take the opportunity to praise him in front of the Angel Clan?
After all, it cost her nothing to say a few flattering words.
And if Huo Yuhao was pleased, maybe he'd offer her even more benefits.
So why not?
By now, the Angel Clan spirit masters had risen to their feet.
However, after hearing Qian Renxue's words, they shifted their attention toward Huo Yuhao.
Zhao Die'er finally reacted, admiration clear in her voice.
"Tower Master, your power far surpasses my expectations. Many elders of the Angel Clan have tried to bring Qian Renxue's soul back but they all failed."
"Yet, you succeeded, accomplishing what none of them could."
