The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle
Chapter 456 - 287: The Secret of God!_2

And.

During the last battle in the Anxious Land, the Soul Fire was clearly weak, but it still burned with astonishing strength, even suppressing the second form of the God of Anxiety, far surpassing the old professor before my eyes.

"But it doesn't matter... I believe it won't take long to unearth all of Old Huang's secrets."

Amidst one thunderous roar after another.

As the entire area kept cracking and shaking violently!

A multitude of lights reflected brilliantly against the auroras in the Sky Dome!

One after another, colossal ancient buildings rose from the ground! The entire terrain for thousands of kilometers around was changing its landscape!

"This is..." Du En placed his hand on his chest, his emotions surging within him as he looked at this scene, a sense of mission emerging incessantly: "The treasures of the God."

The old professor spoke in a hoarse voice: "The sanctuary left by the great Guardian God... the most important Temple for the protection of our lineage, the divine people!"

Su Qi's gaze fell upon all of this.

"Temple..."

It was similar to the Temple in the Anxious Land.

Initially, I thought it was the architectural style of the Land of the Gods, but the Guardian God that Du En and the others believed in also had a Temple.

Now it seems.

The Temple appears to be a natural evolution after achieving godhood, much like Totem—shrine—Temple, and it all seems to be related to the Power of Faith.

After the Temple appeared.

The old professor's Soul Fire immediately stabilized a lot.

It seemed Du En had brought the old professor here, ostensibly to use the Temple for recovery.

"Brother Su, Professor."

Du En murmured: "I already feel the guidance, a sensation of blood connection."

The old professor, too, excitedly extended his hand: "I feel it's familiar, like a feeling of coming home."

"Holy, majestic!"

"The brilliance of the Temple is reflecting!"

Su Qi: "Fine, fine, fine, I can tell how moved and excited you are, but... could you spare me a glance?"

"?"

Du En and the old professor were taken aback, then turned their heads and their eyes widened.

"Brother Su, why are you glowing!"

Su Qi paused: "How should I know."

Since the moment the Temple appeared, he had felt a strange power shooting down from the auroras in the Sky Dome, but it wasn't aimed at Du En, it was at him.

"Could it be... I am the real Divine Son?"

Du En: "..."

The old professor, watching all this, was also bewildered: "Why, the Temple is shining for you."

"Any explanation?" Su Qi lifted his arm: "I also feel a warm glow."

There was no malice, as if frolicking around him.

The old professor furrowed his brows, then shook his head: "The Temple will perform Miracles for the Audience, bathing them in Divinity, but you are not a follower of God, why would this happen."

"Maybe God is my follower..."

The old professor nearly ran out of breath.

Du En's eyes widened: "Brother Su, choose your words carefully!"

"In the Temple, you cannot speak such words, even as a joke, it will provoke the power of the Temple to punish!"

And...

At that moment.

The guardian statues around the Temple began to rumble and shake, they were clad in Heavy Armor, and under the illumination of the Temple's power, they moved in unison.

Then.

All of them knelt down on one knee toward Su Qi.

Du En, the old professor: "????"

"What on earth is going on!" The old professor nearly stood up from his wheelchair: "Why are the Guardian Spirits kneeling to you, assuming a welcoming posture."

Du En was even more stunned.

No.

Who's the Divine Son again? Am I not the heir? Wasn't Brother Su just an invited guest? How did it become the other way around!!!

Su Qi's pupils shifted subtly, he too was puzzled, he had never heard of the Guardian God nor had any contact, how could this be happening.

His gaze lingered slightly, looking at the Temple... at the totem of the Guardian God.

"It looks somewhat familiar."

The pattern on the totem was a convergence of numerous feathers.

"Brother Su, on you..."

Du En murmured as he watched feathers' silhouette continuously floating around Su Qi's body.

Suddenly, Su Qi reacted, he reached out to touch his collarbone, where the [Angel's Fallen Gift] was shining brightly.

"So it was like this."

This was the Ancient Relic Su Qi had obtained when his Points exceeded a hundred million, ranking first in history, something that Paradise had picked up from the Black Fog of the Old Days.

A feather from the Angel Race.

Now, it seemed that this feather was also an extraordinary object. After ascending to the Seventh Rank, he had successfully integrated it into his body, reopening a new Path of Series.

"It seems like your God has something to say to me..."

Su Qi beckoned.

"You guys go ahead and look around, no need to wait here for my return."

Du En: "????"

The old professor, however, saw everything clearly. As a former Old Priest, he seemed to have a guess, murmuring hesitantly and yet unbelievably, "He... seems to carry the noble aura of the Angel Race, who exactly is he?"

Du En was somewhat bewildered, after all, he was but a Divine Son who had recently been resurrected: "The Angel Race...?"

The old professor shook his head:

"Our God, although supreme to countless mortals, is just an Ordinary God among the Gods, while angels..."

He paused: "They are powerful Divine Race, and there are too many born here. Once a divine child is born, they start with the strength of the Seventh Rank."

Du En's eyes widened.

"That terrifying?"

Born at the Seventh Rank? He had recovered his Strength, and despite training day and night, was at best now at the Seventh Rank.

"But why would these guards of the Temple... make such a gesture to Brother Su?"

"Because," the old professor shook his head, "our God is one of the people from the Angel Race."

Du En murmured: "Why, after my Divinity recovered, did I not know of these things."

"Because."

The old professor paused: "Our God... is an existence exiled by the Angel Race."

--------------

"Is what they said true, my respected Lord God?"

Su Qi sat on the couch in a space, watching the exchange between Du En and the old professor on the screen.

And next to him stood a pigeon with grey feathers, which paused before chuckling softly:

"It's true."

It gently flapped its wings, the Angel's wings expanding:

"It's just that happened before I became a God. After I achieved Godhood, I never revealed my angelic identity again."

Su Qi paused.

Was it because of the exile?

He didn't ask.

"So why does this happen when I step into the Temple?"

The pigeon looked deep into Su Qi's eyes: "You really don't understand."

Su Qi spread his hands: "Otherwise?"

The pigeon let out a sigh: "Because of nobility."

"?"

"On the surface, the Angel Race has numerous powerful Divine Descendants, possessing noble bloodlines, but in reality, their interior is hypocritical, authoritarian, and cruel."

Su Qi was stunned.

This pigeon's words were quite critical.

"The hierarchy is so severe that lower-blooded angels are forever lesser, to be used and thrown away like trash without any power to resist."

It paused, looking calmly at its own wings: "Because this is a doctrine of bloodline determinism, an eternal shackle, a destiny that cannot be crossed."

"I was that low-born who was exiled."

This EMO?

Su Qi: "But you became a God..."

It smiled faintly:

"So what if I did?"

"You are suspected to be an Angel Divine Descendant and possess an extremely noble aura. Yet, when you came to my Temple, the bloodline suppression still occurred, and the Guardian Spirits transformed from my power actually kneeled to welcome you."

Its voice carried a hint of self-mockery and seemed resentful of this bloodline.

Su Qi: "So that's how it is."

He raised the value of the feather that had integrated into his body by another two levels.

"Then can I make a request?" Su Qi said with a smile: "Give me a dozen Divine Artifacts, even if not for saving your world, it shouldn't be too much to ask considering the bloodline, right?"

The pigeon rolled its eyes: "No, what dreams are you having!"

"Bloodline suppression does exist, but I've already left the Angel Race, and I can just kick you out if it comes to that."

"Moreover."

It paused, looking at Su Qi: "I've also confirmed that you are not an Angel Divine Descendant."
