Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

Mediocre, Good, Excellent, Genius!

Among these four evaluation grades for the entrance examination, usually reaching 'Excellent' is enough to secure a spot in the inner courtyard. 'Genius' level is for geniuses among geniuses! Entering the inner courtyard is a piece of cake.

But above these four grades, there's 'Exceptional.' Historically, this level of evaluation has been almost exclusively reserved for future Popes.

After all, the Grand Elemental Divine King Spirit, as a God-bestowed Spirit, randomly awakens in devout believers of the Grand Elemental Divine King. Once this Spirit is confirmed, the Spirit Hall arranges enrollment in the Spirit Academy, followed by advanced studies in the Spirit Hall after graduation... Finally, when the previous Pope is nearing the end of their life, they inherit the Papal throne!

But today, finally, an 'Exceptional' level God-tier Spirit has enrolled!

Six-Winged Angel!

This Spirit was once the symbol of the Spirit Hall in the distant past. The Qian family was the actual controller of the Spirit Hall, and its successive inheritors were all Popes! They didn't worship the Grand Elemental Divine King but the Angel God.

Later, with the rise of the Grand Elemental Divine King, 11 gods became the most prominent figures of their time! The original Angel God seemed less impressive. After all, even when the direct line of descendants was severed and the Spirit Hall changed dynasties, the Angel God never appeared.

Whether such a god exists is debatable.

Therefore, after ten thousand years, the Angel God has long been relegated to apocryphal legends, only found in some ancient books with scarce records. Most people believe that the Spirit Hall has always worshiped the Grand Elemental Divine King!

Unless one specifically researches this, they wouldn't know about the Angel God's past.

Because Li Chang'an didn't exterminate the Angel lineage back then, only punishing the ringleaders and executing the direct descendants, he spared the collateral branches. So, over these ten thousand years, the Qian family's collateral branches unexpectedly developed quite well. Some members even became high-ranking officials in the Spirit Hall!

Of course, these collateral Qian family members do harbor thoughts of restoring the Angel's glory, reclaiming power in the Spirit Hall, and reviving the Qian family's honor. This is human nature; it would be strange if they didn't.

But thoughts are just thoughts. They would never dare to actually cause trouble and overthrow the Grand Elemental Divine King's rule.

After all, there is only one Angel God, and its existence is questionable. But the Grand Elemental Divine King truly exists, along with ten other gods... This luxurious lineup completely made the Qian family abandon any inappropriate ideas.

Moreover, now even the Six-Winged Angel Spirit inheritance, representing the God's successor, is broken. What's the point of reviving the Angel's glory with just ordinary Angel Spirits?

Thus, the Angel lineage has lived peacefully for ten thousand years. Unless something unexpected happens, it will remain peaceful forever.

But all this changed completely with the appearance of 'Qian Renxue,' the owner of the Six-Winged Angel Spirit!

A small flame called ambition slowly began to burn in the hearts of the Qian family!

After all, the Six-Winged Angel Spirit is said to be able to inherit the Angel God's position!

If their Qian family could produce an Angel God...

...Time Skip...

"Have a good journey."

"Be a good person in your next life."

Closing her eyes to await death, Qian Renxue heard these words, followed by a chill, and then, she knew nothing more.

Her whole being seemed to fall into a long slumber.

She didn't know how much time had passed.

When she regained awareness of the outside world, she found herself immersed in a very warm place, curled up and unwilling to move.

Half-dreaming and half-awake, she didn't know how much time had passed.

At one moment.

Qian Renxue felt a sense of repulsion from the surrounding space, and after a period of squeezing, she finally left that warm place. A bone-chilling coldness came from the outside world! She instinctively cried out.

"Wah!…"

A loud infant's cry entered her ears.

Qian Renxue suddenly widened her eyes, but she only saw a blurry scene, unable to clearly see the surrounding environment. At the same time, her whole body was sticky, as if covered in some gelatinous substance... She had a vague guess about her current state.

"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"

"Mother and daughter are safe. Your wife has given birth to a young lady."

After that, she could feel a pair of large hands picking her up, gently placing her in warm water, and softly helping her clean her body...

'Wife? Young lady?'

'Which means…'

'I am… an infant?'

'A newly born infant?'

'I remember I died, didn't I?'

'What exactly is going on?'

'Could it be that after death, the soul becomes an infant again? Starting a new life?'

Qian Renxue felt her brain was in utter chaos, unable to figure out what was happening to her.

After that, she could feel herself being wrapped in soft swaddling clothes, then handed into a broad embrace. A man's voice entered her ears, "Pei'er, look, this is our daughter! She's so cute!"

"Let me hold her…" A weak female voice came.

Qian Renxue felt herself being carefully transferred to another embrace, this embrace was warm and soft, making her feel very at ease.

"Cheng, what name should we give our daughter?" the weak female voice asked.

"I've already thought about it."

The man's voice was full of doting, "This child was born during a heavy snowfall, so let's call her 'Qian Renxue.'"

Hearing this name, Qian Renxue finally couldn't resist the drowsiness and slowly fell asleep. The last thought in her mind was: 'I am, still called this name?'

As she gradually grew up.

Qian Renxue gradually understood the era she was in. She knew that she was still in the Douluo Continent, but it was 10,000 years after her time.

Now only the Douluo Empire exists on this continent. The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire have disappeared.

The good news is that the Spirit Hall still exists! Its status is even higher than before, above the empire!

And the Qian family she was born into in this life is the descendant of the Angel Qian family from ten thousand years ago, continuing to this day.

The bad news is that the Spirit Hall is not now controlled by the Angel Qian family, and they no longer worship the Angel God. Instead, they worship the Grand Elemental Divine King—Li Chang'an!

When she heard this name, Qian Renxue was silent. She didn't expect that the young man she once looked down upon when she played the Crown Prince could grow to such heights.

Through historical records, she learned some things she didn't know before. She knew that Bibi Dong, who had become the Rakshasa God, was killed by Li Chang'an before he became a god! Even her grandfather was killed by him!

After understanding all this, Qian Renxue surprisingly didn't have any resentment or thoughts of revenge. Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, only understood through records, lacking a sense of reality.

Or perhaps it was because she had died once, and now she was reborn, the grievances of her previous life disappeared with her death?
