5: Chapter 5 This is just my clone.

"Yeah, kid. I originally thought you were just going all out to drag everyone down with you."

The God King of Evil also put away his amused smile, crossed his arms, and raised an eyebrow, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes. "Listening to your tone, it seems this grand performance hasn't even reached its climax yet?"

The surrounding First-Rank Deities were in an uproar, whispering among themselves:

"Could it be that he did all this just to ruin the Asura God's Legacy plan? He doesn't want the God King to interfere with the Lower Realm anymore and wants the Douluo Continent to return to its original fate?"

"That's impossible, right? To risk his own Life for this? Is it worth it?"

"Even if the Asura God's plan is ruined, how can a newly Ascended divine official withstand the retaliation of a God King?"

"Could he have another trump card? But he can barely stand right now; what other moves could he possibly have?"

None of the deities could understand it. How could this Seraphim, who had been calculating every step and had manipulated the Asura God into losing his composure, commit such a seemingly losing trade? He had risked his Life to expose the God King's scandal, yet he knew perfectly well that it wouldn't damage the other party's Foundation. It was completely inconsistent with his previous shrewdness.

Just as the gods were whispering and the Asura God's killing intent was about to solidify, Qian Chongguang suddenly moved.

He leaned on the Light and Dark dual swords stuck in the ground and slowly straightened his body.

Even though his bones were shattered, his robes were soaked in golden divine blood, and the six wings on his back were tattered, his spine remained straight. He was like a holy sword that had never bent, showing not a shred of defeat.

He raised his hand, casually wiped the Divine Power constantly overflowing from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, looked up at the Asura God, and curled his lips into a meaningful smile.

"Asura God King, I said from the very beginning that I had kept a trump card."

His voice was not loud, but it clearly drowned out all the discussion. He enunciated every word: "Furthermore, I never said that I only had one trump card."

The entire scene fell into instant silence.

The Asura God's pupils constricted sharply. The murderous Divine Power tensed around him, like a giant bow ready to be fired, locking onto Qian Chongguang.

He had already suffered a major loss once and dared not underestimate this seemingly insignificant newly Ascended divine official again—who knew what earth-shattering scheme he had hidden this time?

The four God Kings—Destruction, Life, Goodness, and Evil—also restrained their auras simultaneously. Their gazes fell uniformly upon Qian Chongguang, their eyes filled with vigilance and confusion. They truly could not understand what kind of decent trump card a newly Ascended divine official could possibly produce while surrounded by five God Kings and dozens of First-Rank Deities.

Just then, a sudden change occurred!

In the east of the Divine Realm, the Angel God Temple, which had been silent for ten thousand years and long forgotten by the gods, suddenly erupted with a pillar of golden light that pierced through the heavens and the earth!

That pillar of light was too brilliant, too holy. It instantly broke through the vast sea of clouds in the Divine Realm, dyeing the entire sky of the Divine Realm a pure gold.

The extremely dense Divine Power of light swept out like a tsunami. Wherever it passed, even the Spiritual Plants and sacred trees of the Divine Realm began to glow with a shimmering golden light. Its power was more than ten times stronger than the phenomena caused by any previous Ascensions!

All the deities on the Stairway to Godhood instantly changed color and turned their heads in unison to look toward the east.

"What is that?!"

A First-Rank Deity who held the Law of Light exclaimed involuntarily, "That's the direction of the Angel God Temple! That is the resonance light of the angel god position Legacy!"

"Impossible! Isn't the inheritor of the angel god position right here?!"

Another deity looked bewildered, pointing at Qian Chongguang, his voice trembling, "He is clearly right before our eyes; how could he simultaneously activate the angel god position Legacy?!"

"No, this power fluctuation..." Goddess of Life closed her eyes, carefully perceiving the surging Divine Power of light. Her beautiful brows knitted together, and when she opened her eyes, they were filled with shock. "This is the genuine Origin fluctuation of a First-Rank Deity! This is not power that a newly ascended deity who just broke through level 100 could possess! Even if they just inherited the God Position, this Foundation is terrifyingly stable; it doesn't look like they just completed the Legacy at all!"

The gods were completely dumbfounded.

The angel god position Legacy had succeeded, and the Angel God Temple had erupted with the resonance light, yet the person who should have been the inheritor, Qian Chongguang, was standing right before their eyes, covered in wounds, struggling to even move.

What on earth was going on?!

All gazes instantly fell back onto Qian Chongguang.

Facing the shocked and bewildered gazes of the gods, Qian Chongguang just smiled indifferently, as if all of this was within his expectations. He lightly shook the Light and Dark dual swords in his hands; the blades of the two swords began to ripple with faint phantoms, as if they would dissipate at any moment.

"How about it, God King?" He looked up at the livid Asura God, his smile full of mockery. "Are you all satisfied with this second trump card?"

"What on earth have you done?!"

The Asura God's voice carried an extremely suppressed fury and confusion. He could clearly perceive that in that light of Legacy, there was indeed a pure angel Origin that shared the same source as Qian Chongguang, but the person was clearly right here. How was this possible!

"It's very simple."

Qian Chongguang shrugged, his tone as relaxed as if he were talking about the most ordinary thing.

"The ant you have been staring at from beginning to end, this me who has been grabbed by the Asura God King and beaten for half a day, and who exposed his scandal in public, is merely a perfect Clone that I spent a hundred years crafting, using one-third of my Soul Origin and the Life-bound Divine Power of the Angel Clan."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were like a thunderbolt from the Nine Heavens, striking the heads of all the gods present!

The scene was dead silent; one couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.

Everyone froze in place, their faces full of disbelief. Even the four God Kings were stunned, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

A Clone?!

With so many gods present, including the five Supreme God Kings, not a single one of them had realized that the angel before their eyes—who had flesh and blood, Divine Soul fluctuations, and could even erupt with Light and Dark Divine Power—was actually just a Clone?!

One had to know that a God King's Divine Sense was enough to sweep across the entire Divine Realm, and nothing could hide from it. Let alone a Clone, even a tiny fluctuation of a Divine Soul could not escape their perception. Yet now, they had been completely deceived by a Clone, and had even surrounded this Clone, discussing it for ages and deducing his purpose for half a day!

The one most devastated was none other than the Asura God.

His blood-colored Divine Power instantly exploded out of control, and the hard white jade platform beneath his feet was shattered into countless spiderweb-like cracks.

He stared fixedly at Qian Chongguang, his blood-colored pupils filled with bloodshot veins, his voice trembling—that was the extreme fury of being pushed to the limit by ultimate humiliation and manipulation.

"What did you say?! A Clone?!"

The thing he had frantically beaten, humiliated, and almost crushed to death in public was actually just a Clone?!
