Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 213

She even knew things that Qian Renxue didn't, such as that ball of Sea God's divine power!

"You think a cat can scare me?"

Hei An Qian Renxue said with a mocking expression, as if her words were utterly laughable.

Shen An nodded: "Okay, then I'll try to bring Tom over right away."

"and many more!"

Suddenly, Hei Qianrenxue shouted angrily, but Shen An hadn't even moved a step, clearly having seen through her weakness long ago.

Shen An smiled and said, "Now we can have a proper talk."

Dark Qian Renxue said with a grim expression, "I really have nothing to talk to you about. You guessed right, I am Qian Renxue's negative emotion."

"But don't worry, Qian Renxue and I are just two sides of the same coin. I will not do anything to harm her. On the contrary, my words and actions are what she wants to do deep in her heart."

Dark Thousand Blades spoke sincerely, and even took a step forward, as if to place Shen An's hand on her chest, seemingly to prove that what she said was true.

Just as he was about to place his hand on her chest, Shen An abruptly pulled it back.

This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous! Qian Renxue is still waiting for you outside, and you're flirting with her negative emotions in your mental space. It's utterly inappropriate.

Hei An Qian Ren Xue pouted, and her charming face suddenly looked rather cute.

"Seriously, why did you suddenly pull it away? I just wanted you to feel my heartbeat."

Shen An...

This Dark Qian Renxue is even more unbearable than the original Qian Renxue.

"Stop. I'm not here to flirt with you. I'm here to help Xiaoxue solve her problems," Shen An said seriously.

"Huh? You're going to get rid of me, Qiuqiu Nila? I don't want to disappear, I'll do anything."

These words, though clearly a plea for survival, carry a strong sense of malice.

A vein bulged on Shen An's forehead. The original Qian Renxue was already overwhelming, domineering and possessive, but this dark Qian Renxue was even more wicked.

"Stop messing around. Answer me one question and I'll leave right now, or I'll let Tom in."

Upon hearing Shen An's words, Hei An Qian Renxue reluctantly agreed. She really didn't want to test Tang Tiandi's power with herself, what if she shattered at the slightest touch from Tang Tiandi?

When did you begin to develop consciousness?

Shen An asked, "Qian Renxue had no problems for the past one or two decades, but recently she has been plagued by negative thoughts and has even developed an independent personality, which is obviously very problematic."

"Okay, okay, let me think about it." Hei An Qian Renxue lowered her head, seemingly deep in thought.

"Around the time of the Soul Master Tournament?" she said uncertainly.

"Why did you develop consciousness at that particular time? You were just a rootless duckweed, without any support, so how did you grow to your current level?"

Shen An shouted, and used his mental power.

In an instant, Hei Qianrenxue's mind was thrown into chaos. Yes, why was she born at that time? And why is her mental strength so strong now?

Sometimes it can even suppress Qian Renxue, who is already a Soul Douluo, and take over her body without her realizing it.

"Say it, why!" Shen An shouted again.

Suddenly, Hei Qianrenxue clutched her head, looking bewildered. "I don't know, I really don't know anything."

Seeing that she was distracted, Shen An immediately shot out a small cyan sword from his eyes, which pierced straight into the brow of Dark Thousand Blades, the mark of the Dark Six-Winged Angel.

"Why bother? I won't really hurt them. There's no need to force me to show myself."

The dark, six-winged angel imprint glowed with an eerie light, and in an instant, the golden, holy spiritual space was rendered inky black, and a consciousness with a hazy face and illusory form descended.

Shen An looked on solemnly. He had thought that with his current strength, while he might not be invincible, there should be no one in the world who could directly kill him.

Yet he sensed a threat of death emanating from this mysterious being with six wings on its back, a threat stemming from the difference in their status.

Of course, this is also because Shen An's mental strength is now in the other party's home field, and he is instinctively at a disadvantage.

If a real fight breaks out, at worst we can abandon this portion of our mental energy, or call for reinforcements ourselves—cough cough, I mean call for cats and mice.

"You are... the first Angel God?" Shen An asked solemnly.

It wasn't that he was exceptionally intelligent enough to lie in wait for someone like Qian Renxue without being discovered by Qian Daoliu.

Only the Angel God who founded the Spirit Hall could do this.

The angel god, with six wings on his back and a hazy face exuding an aura of destruction and malice, nodded slightly: "It is I. You don't need to worry about what I will do to Qian Renxue."

“I am her ancestor, how could I possibly harm her?”

Shen An stared at the angel god before him, whose aura was filled with destruction, ominousness, and hatred, his face full of question marks.

"So, can you tell me about your origins? Why did a deity appear in Xiaoxue's spiritual space?"

"Was it intentional, or because of some unavoidable situation?"

"You have to tell me, or I'm going to let the cat out?"

Although Shen An couldn't see the Angel God's face clearly, he could clearly feel that the corner of the other's mouth twitched.

This was originally just meant to scare away Dark Thousand Blades Snow, but I never expected it would be effective against a god.

'Could it be that Tom has been doing something behind my back?' Shen An couldn't help but wonder.

The God of Angels could see Shen An's disbelief, and He sighed softly.

"Actually, you shouldn't have approached me like that. Those people can sense my presence, which could have a negative impact on you."

The Path of Angels.

Shen An just kept staring at the Angel God; the more he said that, the more interested he became.

"Are you willing to face the unknown and powerful enemy with Qian Renxue in the future? Perhaps you have no hostility towards them, but the moment you meet them, they will want to get rid of you as soon as possible."

“I don’t like riddle-makers. You can just say what you want to say,” Shen Anjing said quietly.

The Angel God said indifferently, "Since that's the case, I can tell you, the angel is dead!"

Immediately, His hand, which was enveloped in dark divine light, was gently raised, and a scene appeared before Shen An's eyes.

"These are my memories before I died."

In the scene, in the boundless starry sky, two figures, one azure and the other blood-red, suppress a ball of golden light, dimming it completely.

The angel god, radiating golden light, cried out in a shrill voice: "Sea God! Asura! How dare you defy the rules of the divine realm! Aren't you afraid of the punishment from the Divine Realm Committee?!"

The crimson figure continued its relentless attacks, coldly declaring, "You really think you can return to the God Realm alive!"

The angel god fought desperately, his six wings flapping wildly, but he was always bound by a golden halo and could not be free.

The azure figure said, "What an ideal! You truly deserve to be called the God of Angels. Today you will die, and your authority will belong to me!"

The angel in the scene let out a mournful roar, as if it were about to fight like a trapped beast.

Immediately, the brilliant light from the hands of the Sea God and the Asura God engulfed everything.

“In the past, my life was destroyed by the Sea God and the Asura God, who joined forces to divide up divine power.”

"These two gods are far superior to me, therefore everything was obliterated."

Shen An looked puzzled. If everything had been erased, then what was in front of him?

The Angel God saw through Shen An's thoughts and immediately said, "All my divine power has been obliterated, and the two great powers of holiness and judgment have been almost divided up."

"Only a trace of its original power returned to the Angelic Legacy, and it was only through the power of faith in the Spirit Hall that it slowly recovered."

"As for this wisp of my consciousness, it is the power of the dark angel, or rather, the power of the fallen angel, that I comprehended when I was on the verge of death."

"Speaking of which, I should thank you instead."

"Originally, this wisp of my divine consciousness, along with the source of that authority, returned to Douluo Continent with the backup plan I had left behind. However, that Sea God was too close and deliberately left behind his divine power to interfere with the angel's inheritance. Inadvertently, he also continuously weakened this wisp of my consciousness."

Shen An stared blankly, wondering what this had to do with him.

"It was your cat that was able to neutralize the power of the Sea God." At this, the Angel God also looked at Shen An in amazement.

A young man with a seventh spirit ring that is a million years old, and who also possesses a cat-and-mouse technique that even He cannot see through. Perhaps, this is the basis for His future revenge.

“Aren’t you surprised? Your cat can dispel divine power, especially that of a powerful sea god among the first-level gods.”

Shen An simply gave a soft "oh." It concerned Tom, and it was merely the elimination of a mere divine power; what was there to make a fuss about?

It's not like Tom caught Jerry.

Angel God...

He continued, “So, you don’t need to worry that I will hurt Qian Renxue. I am just a remnant soul, not even a remnant soul.”

"The reason why Qian Renxue's negative form is so powerful, even forming an independent personality, is because it absorbs my power."

Having said that, He dissipated His divine radiance, His form becoming ethereal.

At this point, the God of Angels couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't hidden anything from Shen An. The reason He had been hiding in the angelic mark was to prevent his aura from being leaked.

The reason for his lament is that he has already died and his spirit has dissipated, leaving only a wisp of consciousness.

After hearing everything, Shen An let out a breath and said, "So, since I have met you, I am inevitably tainted by your aura. If those two gods notice, I will be doomed."

The Angel God nodded: "However, you don't need to be dissatisfied because of this. When you killed that person named Tang San, the Asura God appeared. You have been targeted by the god."

After saying that, the Angel God laughed again: "The Sea God and the Asura God are destined to be the enemies of my Qian family's descendants, and you happen to be their enemy as well."

Shen Anming realized that the Angel God was implying that he and Qian Renxue were on the same side.

"What about Xiaoxue's negative personality traits?"

"She is also the negative personality, but with my prompting, she has gained enough power to develop self-awareness, and this will be a great help to you in your future god-slaying."

Shen An raised an eyebrow. He didn't care what kind of power was needed to kill a god; he only cared about Qian Renxue's safety.

He gazed silently at the God of Angels: "The God of Asura has already grudges against me, and I will not let the God of the Sea, who is Xiaoxue's enemy, go either."

"As for you, I will leave you alone for now. However, if Xiaoxue shows any abnormality in the future, I will definitely shatter your lingering resentment immediately."

Shen An's consciousness faded away, but his spiritual avatar did not dissipate. Instead, it transformed into a sword, hovering in the spiritual space, seemingly monitoring the surroundings.

Chapter 314 Operation Soul Hunt Officially Launched

In an instant, Shen An's consciousness returned to his body.

But he was still pondering the words of the Angel God in his mind.

You can believe part of it, but not all of it, since this matter involves Qian Renxue's safety.

Mental matters are no joke, and no one can guarantee that the Angel God won't have ulterior motives towards Qian Renxue.

Although the Angel God is only a wisp of remnant spirit left, it is still the remnant spirit of a deity, and its methods are beyond his current comprehension.

If possible, Shen An would still prefer to kill this Angel God directly to prevent future troubles, but after all, he was in Qian Renxue's mental space.

Shen An was ultimately unsure, so he only made a threat.

'It seems I still need to find an opportunity to have Tom make contact with him,' Shen An thought to himself.

'However, the angel god was right about one thing: I am destined to be the enemy of the sea god and the Asura god.'

Needless to say, the God of Asura clearly regarded Tang San as his successor and even personally tried to protect his life, but he failed.

Shen An, the Sea God, had never met this deity, but the two Title Douluos captured by Chen Xin came from Sea God Island.

Shen An also learned from him that the sea god harbored inexplicable...killing intent towards him!

Thinking of this, Shen An couldn't help but chuckle softly.

In fact, even before Shen An left, these two titled Douluo were unwilling to reveal any information.

Ning Fengzhi was also helpless, after all, he was a strongman who had emerged from bloodshed and had a firm belief.

Upon learning this, Shen An met with the other party and soon managed to pry open their mouth, only to discover that the Sea God intended to kill him.

As for how he managed to pry open Ning Fengzhi's mouth, which Ning Fengzhi couldn't get out of it.

Simple: close the door, let the cat out.

With just a feather, Tom made these two tough men cry and beg for mercy.

Little Feather merely scratched the soles of these two Title Douluos' feet, and all their faith and backbone vanished.

To this, Shen An could only say that the tickling torture was terrifying.
