"What method?!"
To elevate the Angel sacred status to a higher level?
This was not mere repair or strengthening. Although the Angel divinity had now become ruins, its essence was still a supreme existence standing at the pinnacle of first-class gods. In the vast God Realm, existences comparable to it were extremely rare.
Achieving further breakthroughs on an already extremely high foundation was difficult to describe in words.
The method the demon spirit described might enable the Angel divinity to reach—or even surpass—the insurmountable wall that countless gods could only dream of, allowing it to leap from a first-class god to an eighth-ring quasi-king or even a true God King level?!
This idea was truly shocking!
Madness and determination flashed across the demon spirit's face as a low, intimidating voice resounded.
"The Angel throne is now half-destroyed and its foundation has collapsed, but as the proverb says, 'Without destruction there can be no construction. Destruction precedes construction!'"
"Precisely because it is in such a chaotic state now, it can adopt an open attitude toward external forces and welcome all who come."
Her gaze, like burning flames, captured Chen Yi and Qian Renxue.
"If we can seize this opportunity, we can actively inject new authorities that originally opposed the Angel God position into the collapsed god position!"
"And as the faith power reconstructs the god position and repairs its foundation, these newly injected authorities will also merge into the position and become an inseparable part of the new god position!"
"The Angel divinity reconstructed in this way will no longer be a mere restoration to its original state but rather an sublimation and transformation of its essence, integrating new powers and rules upon the old foundation!"
"Injecting entirely new authorities?!" Chen Yi immediately grasped the key point and narrowed his eyes. Were authorities something that could be found and controlled so easily?
If it were truly that simple, why would Asura and Poseidon have gone to such lengths to kill the Angel God and seize her authority?
The demon spirit's gaze slowly shifted to the dimly lit Angel Sword beside her, and her expression became complex.
"Earlier, when I forcibly activated the Angel Sword in my current demonic form, it caused intense clashes and repulsion due to the completely opposing attributes of authority, sanctity, and evil…"
"But!"
Her tone suddenly rose, and a captivating light appeared in her eyes.
"In that conflict and rejection, based on my deep understanding of the two forces, I vaguely grasped a certain possibility."
"If… if we can fuse the two fundamentally opposing yet indispensable forces of sanctity and evil, what arises between them will no longer be simple offset or collision but a unity of opposites that transcends a single force!"
"That power… might bring about a terrifying enhancement beyond imagination!"
"You yourself said these are completely contradictory and incompatible authorities—how could such a thing be possible?!" Qian Renxue couldn't help asking, doubt in her voice.
Fusing the sacred and the evil was like allowing light and darkness to coexist, contradicting the most basic understanding of natural laws.
Sharp light shone in the demon spirit's eyes, along with the unshakeable determination of a martyr.
"And… me."
"Huh?" Chen Yi was surprised and did not fully understand what she was saying.
The demon spirit's voice became eerily calm, as if stating a fact unrelated to herself.
"The angel who once possessed sacred authority has now become a demon spirit fallen into evil…"
"In this world, no one understands the essence of the two forces sacred and evil, and the complex relationship between these extremely opposing yet subtly connected powers, better than I do."
"During the previous battle, I came up with several viable operational plans. They are all difficult and risky, but not entirely without hope of success."
She paused and shifted her gaze to Chen Yi, his tone becoming serious again.
"The biggest problem now is that the level of the sacred authority we currently possess is still higher than the level of the evil authority I currently wield."
"The two are not completely equal in quality or quantity, making it difficult to maintain a stable balance."
"Therefore, what we need now is to borrow the help of a higher-level evil authority to create a force equal to the sacred authority, thereby establishing a controllable balance between the sacred and the evil and laying the foundation for subsequent integration."
"A higher-level evil power…" Both Chen Yi and Qian Renxue fell into deep thought, frowning.
This was not easy to find!
An evil authority capable of balancing the sacred authority would need to be at least on the level of a first-class god.
Beings at this level held absolute power even in the God Realm. Their numbers were few, and most had eccentric personalities or lived in seclusion.
More importantly, how could one persuade such a powerful god to take the risk of descending to the human world and expend their divine power and essence to assist in an almost insane experiment conducted by a human inheritor?
Just as the two were racking their brains without finding a solution, a figure suddenly flashed in Chen Yi's mind. He raised his head abruptly and looked at the demon spirit.
"Senior… would the title Rakshasa God be acceptable?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately raised her head, a complex expression flashing across her face.
Upon hearing this, the demon spirit nodded almost without hesitation.
"You mean… the successor of the Rakshasa God on Douluo Continent?"
"If she can fully inherit the Rakshasa divinity, then of course she can do it!"
"The Rakshasa God is an extremely powerful existence among the many gods in the God Realm. However, her divine status is not as unique and pure as that of the Seven Deadly Sins Gods."
"The Rakshasa God's authority is more complex and profound, encompassing various dark laws. In a sense, she is close to an evil god and is the most powerful god with the evil attribute among the first-tier gods."
The demon spirit looked at Chen Yi, a faint hint of expectation in her eyes.
"If she can display the full power of a complete Rakshasa God and use the evil authority to balance the sacred authority, the success rate would increase by at least thirty percent!"
Thirty percent!
In an attempt to defy fate, a thirty-percent increase in success rate was already an astonishing figure.
Hearing this, Chen Yi finally showed a relieved smile and quickly began calculating in his mind.
After Bibi Dong overcame the Heart trial and conquered her inner conflicts, her progress in the Rakshasa God trials had been astonishingly fast. Based on previous observations, Bibi Dong was currently undergoing the final ninth trial, and it was only a matter of time before she became the Rakshasa God.
"However, senior," Chen Yi did not get carried away by joy. He immediately recalled another important issue and his expression turned serious again.
"Even if we find a suitable evil authority, how exactly can we integrate these two fundamentally opposing authorities into the same sacred status?"
In Chen Yi's view, the difficulty and danger of fusing the sacred and the evil were probably second only to the coexistence of the two supreme laws representing creation and destruction—life and destruction.
At least in Chen Yi's memory and understanding, not a single god in the original work—or even in the broader legends about the God Realm—had ever achieved this.
"Don't worry." The demon spirit's voice was unexpectedly calm.
"Since I devised this method and dared to propose it, I naturally have some confidence and backup plans."
As she spoke, her gaze turned back to Chen Yi, and her tone became serious.
"But before that, I would like you to leave behind a little of your essence."
"My essence blood?" Chen Yi was slightly surprised.
"Correct." The demon spirit nodded and explained, "Your bloodline is extremely special. I can sense that it carries the divinity of destruction and regeneration, possessing a unique cyclic power of new life being born from destruction, and destruction hidden within new life."
"The power of the bloodline may play an unexpected role in reconciling extremely opposing forces."
"If you could spare even a single drop of your blood essence, my method would be much easier to execute and the risks would be further reduced."
Hearing this, Chen Yi did not answer immediately. He turned to Qian Renxue beside him and extended his right hand.
A faint purple-golden lightning flashed at his fingertip, and a drop of thick purple-golden blood slowly seeped from the fingertip and floated in the air.
Chen Yi flicked his finger, and the drop of blood essence slowly flew toward the demon spirit.
The demon spirit carefully received the drop of blood.
The moment she received the essence blood, she instantly felt the immense power emanating from the high-dimensional god within it, and reverence appeared in her eyes.
"Excellent." The demon spirit collected the essence and then… stared at Chen Yi.
"Next, bring the Rakshasa God successor here. I want her to directly participate in the fusion of the evil authority within the complete Rakshasa God status."
She looked at Qian Renxue again and said, "She can stay here. During this time, there are a few things I want her to do personally."
Hearing this, Chen Yi frowned slightly. He naturally felt uneasy about leaving Qian Renxue alone in the unfamiliar Demon Realm with an unstable demon spirit.
However, if the demon spirit wanted to harm Qian Renxue, there had been countless opportunities earlier, so there was no need for such unnecessary actions.
Moreover, the Angel status did not belong to Qian Renxue, and the pearl containing vast faith had been left behind by the Goddess of Life in some form.
Most importantly, he could sense that although the demon spirit held complex expectations toward Qian Renxue, she harbored little malice.
Qian Renxue understood the worry and questioning look in Chen Yi's eyes. She quietly nodded, indicating her willingness to stay and her trust in the God Ancestor's arrangements.
Upon receiving Qian Renxue's affirmative reply, Chen Yi turned and respectfully bowed to the demon spirit.
"In that case, I shall take my leave. I will bring the Rakshasa God successor as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yi acted without hesitation. His body was instantly enveloped in purple-golden lightning. He raised his hand and lightly slashed the air before him.
Shzzz—!
A spatial rift burning with purple-golden lightning suddenly appeared, connecting to an unknown distance.
Chen Yi took one last deep look at Qian Renxue, then his figure vanished like a flash of light as he leaped into the spatial rift. The rift closed immediately, and his aura completely disappeared from the Demon Realm.
Qian Renxue stood there motionless, gazing in the direction where Chen Yi had vanished. Deep reluctance filled her beautiful eyes.
"Stop looking."
The demon spirit's voice sounded from the side, unusually carrying a teasing tone.
"Once you become a god, you can watch over him as much as you like. Come now, stop acting so sentimental."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue's face flushed slightly. She lowered her head in embarrassment and respectfully greeted him.
"Holy Ancestor…"
At that moment, the gentleness on the demon spirit's face rapidly disappeared, replaced by unprecedented seriousness.
"Do you understand why I did not let you return with him?"
Qian Renxue's expression turned solemn. She immediately bowed respectfully and said gravely, "God Ancestor, please enlighten me."
The demon spirit's eyes were sharp, as if piercing through the soul.
"Next… I will impart everything I have learned, understood, and created throughout my life to you without any reservation."
"This is not only so that you can better inherit the god throne but also so that you can use the power I teach you to defeat Poseidon yourself, rather than relying on others' strength or hiding under his protection!"
When the otherworldly war broke out, the demon spirit had already keenly detected the problems Qian Renxue faced.
She possessed extraordinary talent and a solid foundation. After receiving the inheritance, her cultivation level had risen rapidly, but her actual combat power was truly terrible.
Where exactly had she been spending her time and energy over the past ten years or so?
She seemed to have realized the issue later and begun desperately trying to catch up, and her progress had been very fast.
However, compared to a genius like Poseidon—who had relied solely on talent and ruthlessness to climb from the human world to the pinnacle of the god throne—Qian Renxue was ultimately far inferior.
The demon spirit would never allow her successor to rely on her man's protection to survive when facing enemies in the future.
What she wanted was a truly solitary warrior capable of taking revenge on the enemy, not a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse.
Sensing the heavy expectations and stern tone in the demon spirit's words, Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly, and fierce fighting spirit burned in her eyes.
"Disciple… understands!"
"I will definitely live up to the expectations of our Holy Ancestor!"
