Chapter 302
Renxue: Am I being kept by the God King?
Inside the palace.
After being promoted to Angel Goddess, Qian Renxue was bursting with confidence and vowed to kill Lin Mu.
However, after three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the newly appointed angel god lay limp on the bed, his limbs weak and his eyes glazed over, with a little white foam seeping from the corner of his mouth, as if he had been broken.
She doesn't understand!
Why is it that even though she has become an angel goddess, she cannot conquer Lin Mu? Not only can she not beat him in a fight, but she is also inferior in terms of physical strength.
Although she had only recently become a god, her body had already transformed into a divine form, yet she was still no match for a mortal.
Is this guy even human?
After an unknown amount of time, Qian Renxue finally regained some strength. She turned to look at Lin Mu beside her and found him immersed in his cultivation without any distractions.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.
This guy had already cultivated to level 99 a long time ago. Unless he passes the divine test and becomes a god in one fell swoop, his cultivation level is almost impossible to improve in the slightest.
If that's the case, why does Lin Mu still need to continue cultivating?
After three days and three nights of fighting, she had come to realize Lin Mu's strength. Although he was a mortal, his strength was comparable to that of a god, and even stronger than her, a god who had just stepped into the divine realm.
Logically speaking, with such great strength, Lin Mu should have completed the Divine Trial long ago.
Unless the divine examination has some special restrictions, or it is intended to wait for her to become a god together.
At this moment, Lin Mu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze meeting Qian Renxue's. He immediately raised an eyebrow and said, "What, are you itching for a beating again?"
It has to be said that after Qian Renxue was promoted to Angel God, her physical strength increased significantly, almost overwhelming him.
Fortunately, his soul bone was of extremely high quality, and he eventually subdued this angel god.
Hearing Lin Mu's teasing tone, Qian Renxue glared at him in annoyance. No matter what, she was a high and mighty angel, and this mortal dared to disrespect her.
And it happened more than once!
What angered her most was that if she couldn't conquer Lin Mu this time, she would have no chance to turn things around once Lin Mu became a god.
A moment later, Qian Renxue leaned on Lin Mu's shoulder and whispered, "Lin Mu, I have already become an Angel God. Aren't you going to become a god?"
"My divine trial is quite complicated. I must become a god together with Ye Lingling. Otherwise, even if I pass it alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to obtain a godhood," Lin Mu said helplessly.
Even if the God of Destruction's eighth trial was to condense a fifth soul core, he was confident he could complete it.
However, he had to wait for Ye Lingling to catch up, otherwise even if he completed the eighth trial, the God of Destruction would most likely not open the ninth trial.
Therefore, he could only try his best to improve his control over his soul power and strive to condense his fifth soul core successfully on the first try.
"Are you waiting for Ye Lingling to become a god together?"
Qian Renxue felt a chill in her heart. She had thought that Lin Mu had not become a god for her sake, but she did not expect it was because of Ye Lingling.
In what way is she inferior to that innocent, manipulative woman?
Seeing Qian Renxue's jealous reaction, Lin Mu found it a little funny; this woman must have imagined something again.
"Don't overthink it. The reason I want to become a god with Ye Lingling is because we are a pair of gods, which means we are bound together and must become gods together."
To reassure Qian Renxue, Lin Mu offered a simple explanation.
However, Qian Renxue became even more unhappy upon hearing this explanation.
Since Lin Mu and Ye Lingling inherited the divine positions as a pair, doesn't that mean that after entering the divine realm, they will be a legitimate couple, and she can only be considered a third party at most?
How could she possibly accept this?
Undeniably, she did rise to the top, but her personality destined her to never be a mistress; at most, she wouldn't object to Lin Mu and Ye Lingling's relationship. Originally, she was looking forward to entering the God Realm with Lin Mu, but now she's no longer happy about it.
A moment later, Qian Renxue suddenly flipped over and straddled Lin Mu, staring at him with resentment in her eyes, and threatened, "Lin Mu, if you dare to betray me, I will use the Angelic Holy Sword to cut off your lower body."
"Forehead--"
Lin Mu was startled; those words were incredibly effective at hitting men.
Although his strength was comparable to that of a god, and his defense was astonishing, he couldn't wear armor all the time, especially when he was having an in-depth conversation with Qian Renxue, when he had no chance to be on guard.
A moment later, Lin Mu placed his hand on Qian Renxue's chest and solemnly promised, "Whether on the mainland or in the God Realm, I will treat you all equally."
Strictly speaking, he was more biased towards Qian Renxue.
Although he spent more time with Ye Lingling, he communicated with Qian Renxue more frequently.
After all, Qian Renxue is proud and never admits defeat. After becoming a god, she is even more sacred, which makes people want to conquer her.
With this assurance, Qian Renxue's mood improved slightly.
Now that things have come to this, it's unrealistic for her to try and step on Ye Lingling's head any longer, so she's forced to back down.
"By the way, which deity's legacy did you receive?"
Seeing Qian Renxue's curious expression, Lin Mu hesitated for a moment before finally pointing to the mark on his forehead and explaining, "This is the mark of the Scepter of Destruction, representing the Destruction God King, one of the five great God Kings of the God Realm."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was not surprised at all; instead, she forced a bitter smile.
Since Lin Mu obtained the inheritance of the God of Destruction, Ye Lingling's divine inheritance must also be at the God-King level, one level higher than her Angel Godhood.
Thinking of this, she felt extremely resentful.
She possesses innate level 20 soul power, which is not only inferior to Lin Mu, but also to Ye Lingling.
No, Ye Lingling probably obtained the God-King level inheritance because of Lin Mu's connection.
After all, she wasn't even born with full soul power. Even if she had taken pills made from immortal herbs, her talent and strength were insufficient to inherit the position of the God of Life.
Lin Mu saw her concerns and smiled slightly, saying, "Once I inherit the position of the God of Destruction, I will be able to support you in the God Realm. No one—no, no god—will dare to bully you."
"Hmph, making it sound like I'm being kept by you." Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him.
"Is not it?"
Lin Mu raised an eyebrow, grabbed Qian Renxue's extremely slender waist, and then flipped her over to subdue her once again.
Looking down at Lin Mu, Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly. She hurriedly reached out and pushed against his chest, saying irritably, "Can't you take a break for a while?"
Although Lin Mu's enthusiasm for this made her feel less neglected, she was already becoming numb to it.
As a newly ascended angel, how could she possibly allow herself to be manipulated by a mortal?
However, her resistance was completely ineffective.
Before long, strange snoring sounds came from the palace. Fortunately, Lin Mu had set up a barrier beforehand, so there was no need to worry about being heard by people outside.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong sensed two waves of energy indicating godhood and had begun the final step of inheriting the Rakshasa God's legacy. (End of Chapter)
