"From now on, I am Qian Moxue!"
When Su Mo and Bibi Dong found the Dark Qian Renxue, she told the two of them about her decision to change her name.
Her surname remained Qian, of course—since she wasn't married, there was no reason to change it.
"Moxue, where's Xiaoxue?"
"Aren't you two always together?"
Bibi Dong quickly accepted the Dark Qian Renxue's name change and then asked about Qian Renxue.
"She's getting more familiar with the Angel God's power."
The Dark Qian Renxue smiled but didn't mention that Qian Renxue had refused her guidance.
Bibi Dong found it a little odd, but seeing that she didn't explain, she chose not to ask.
After finding the Dark Qian Renxue, the three of them went together to find Qian Renxue.
Since Qian Renxue hadn't hidden her aura, Su Mo and the others easily found her.
A towering statue of the Angel God stood in the area, and Qian Renxue was training atop it, honing her control over the Angel God's power.
"Mother, you've become a god now too—that's amazing!"
Seeing them, Qian Renxue rushed over happily.
She was truly glad that her mother had successfully inherited the Rakshasa God's power, and for the moment, forgot her past unpleasantness with the Dark Qian Renxue.
Not that they had true conflict—Qian Renxue simply found her hard to tolerate.
"Xiaoxue, how well have you mastered the Angel God's power now?"
After embracing her, Bibi Dong immediately asked.
When it came to hatred for Tang San, Bibi Dong definitely hated him the most and was eager to kill him.
Su Mo had returned for several days now, and she was worried that if Tang San returned to the Divine Realm from the future timeline, it would become a problem.
"Mother, I've already learned to use the Angel God's power proficiently!"
Qian Renxue replied quickly.
"Really? Then let's test that with a soul duel!"
The Dark Qian Renxue smiled as soon as she heard this.
"Sure, I'd like to see what the power of the Fallen Angel God is like!"
Qian Renxue looked at her and nodded in agreement.
She wasn't afraid of the challenge. Darkness could never overcome light.
Besides, she knew that the Dark Qian Renxue had only recently regained her divine power. She might not be that much stronger.
"That's actually a good idea!"
"You two can have a one-on-one first. Then I'll team up with Qian Renxue, and Rakshasa Sister, you can team up with Moxue. We'll have a two-on-two soul battle."
"That way, we can quickly familiarize ourselves with each other's abilities and learn to cooperate better."
Su Mo smiled in agreement and added his own suggestion.
"Alright, let's do that!"
Bibi Dong was the first to agree.
Qian Renxue and the Dark Qian Renxue naturally had no objections either.
The two Qian Renxues then began their battle.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Light and darkness clashed as the two Qian Renxues fiercely fought each other.
Qian Renxue wanted to defeat the other and prove that victory belonged to the light.
The Dark Qian Renxue had no such lofty goals—she simply wanted to suppress Qian Renxue.
Maybe it was due to their opposing attributes, but both tried to outdo the other, especially since they were essentially the same person—each wanting to prove she was the better version.
Qian Renxue's intentions were noble, but as someone newly ascended to godhood, she lacked the combat experience of the Dark Qian Renxue. Even with the divine status recognized by the Divine Realm, she wasn't a match.
However, before Qian Renxue could be fully defeated, Bibi Dong stopped the fight in time.
Next came the team match—Su Mo and Qian Renxue versus Bibi Dong and the Dark Qian Renxue.
Another intense clash broke out.
Su Mo didn't go all out. He coordinated with Qian Renxue, creating a well-matched battle against Bibi Dong and her former self.
It helped everyone better understand each other's capabilities.
"Qian Renxue, you team up with them too and fight me alone!"
"I want to see if I can beat all three of you at full strength!"
Su Mo then paused the match and invited Qian Renxue to join Bibi Dong and the Dark Qian Renxue.
Hearing this, all three women were stunned. They hadn't expected Su Mo hadn't gone all out yet.
And now he was confident enough to face the three of them alone?
Was Su Mo really this strong already?
"Sure! I'd like to see just how powerful you really are!"
The Dark Qian Renxue was the first to agree with a grin.
Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong naturally had no objections. They were also curious to see Su Mo's true strength.
And the stronger Su Mo was, the happier they were—especially Bibi Dong and the Dark Qian Renxue.
That meant they had greater confidence in taking down Tang San—killing him, even.
Boom boom boom—
Crack crack crack—
What followed was yet another fierce battle, but this time Su Mo fought alone against three goddesses: Bibi Dong and both Qian Renxues.
Through this fight, Su Mo came to understand the extent of his power after being strengthened by faith.
By using the power of time and space, Su Mo could maintain an undefeated state against the combined force of the three women.
But that was all—wanting to defeat three gods head-on was too optimistic.
Su Mo could defeat two of them, but not all three together.
It seemed his strength was still below Tang San's.
But with the help of Bibi Dong and the three goddesses, defeating Tang San was absolutely possible.
…
Future Timeline.
Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.
"Xue Beng!"
"I can't directly interfere in mortal wars right now, but I'll personally forge a batch of hidden weapons for the Heaven Dou Empire's soldiers!"
"With these hidden weapons, defeating the Spirit Empire won't be a problem!"
Tang San addressed Xue Beng.
"Yes, Teacher!"
"With your support, I'll definitely defeat the Spirit Empire!"
Xue Beng pounded his chest with confidence upon hearing Tang San's words.
Among everyone in the lower realm, Xue Beng was the most excited about Tang San's return. With Tang San's help, he believed the Heaven Dou Empire could once again defeat the Spirit Empire.
As for any secret resentment he once had toward Tang San, Xue Beng had long buried it deep inside.
"Good."
"Teacher, once the hidden weapons are ready, please lead the Heaven Dou army yourself. I trust your wisdom completely!"
"With your help, the Spirit Empire is nothing to fear!"
Tang San nodded and looked toward Yu Xiaogang.
There was nothing else he could do. He had gone to the Spirit Empire, but Qian Renxue and Su Mo weren't there. Since he couldn't directly strike at mortals, he had no choice but to support Xue Beng again.
He would use Xue Beng to lure Qian Renxue and Su Mo out.
"Tang San, Xiao Wu!"
"When the time comes, you must kill Qian Renxue and Su Mo!"
At that moment, Tang Hao—already brought back by Tang San—spoke coldly with hatred in his voice.
