There was silence that followed after the beautiful woman said these words.
But then Angela suddenly said in a voice filled with disdain and anger, "Your powers? Why would I want something like that? You think that you can just show up whenever and try to fix everything by…"
Before she could finish, Lin Fan suddenly grabbed her shoulder.
She stopped mid sentence and turned to glare at Lin Fan, but she couldn't help being surprised by the look that he had on his face.
It was a very grim and serious look that she couldn't understand at all.
Lin Fan took a deep breath and said, "Do you remember what the God of Spatial Laws told us about the God Realm?"
Angela had a confused look on her face when she heard this, but she tried to remember what Lin Fan was talking about.
The God Realm…
The God of Spatial Laws had told them that the God Realm was becoming the representation of the law itself.
As such, there could only be a single person that reached the God Realm with each law since there was no room for another person to also represent the same law.
While she was thinking, the beautiful woman said, "I'm sure that you've felt something blocking you from breaking through. This is the only way that you'll be able to break through."
Only way…
Angela couldn't help thinking this to herself before finally realizing what she meant by this.
That was right, there could only be one person that reached the God Realm for each law and this person in front of her was her mother. But before that, she was the queen of spirits before her…so she cultivated the same law as her.
That meant that she was the God Realm Expert for the same law as her.
For her to reach the God Realm, that meant that this person had to be eliminated to make room for her to ascend.
This was what she meant by passing her powers on.
She was planning on passing down her laws to Angela and then dying to make room for Angela to ascend.
This was her way of making amends.
Even if she had been a terrible mother, this was not how Angela wanted the relationship between the two of them to end.
So she started to hesitate.
She turned back to look at Lin Fan who still had a serious look on his face and looked at him with a look that was asking for help.
Lin Fan just gave a sigh before saying, "Let's not be too hasty here. There's no need for you to transfer your powers right away, right?"
The beautiful woman had a conflicted look on her face, but she gave a sigh in the end and said, "That's right, there's no need for me to transfer my powers right away." But after a pause, she said, "But there's nothing else for me to say. This is how it's been for our Spirit Race for the longest time. Once the Spirit Queen reaches the World of Gods, the previous generation will pass on the ancestral laws of our Spirit Race to the new Spirit Queen."
She hesitated a bit more before turning to look at Angela to say, "That was how it was with my own mother." She gave a sigh before continuing, "I know what you're feeling because I felt the same way as you in the past. But after becoming the Spirit God, I've learned many things about her that I never knew before. I hope that you will be the same and can forgive me one day."
After saying this, there was a burst of life energy that appeared around her.
It was almost as if she was releasing all of the life energy that she had.
After being released, this life energy started creeping towards Angela, as if it wanted to enter her body. But it was clear by the look on Angela's face that she didn't want this.
It was just too bad that none of them could move under the pressure of this beautiful woman.
This was a God Realm Expert releasing her full power, it was unlike anything that they had experienced before. If it wasn't for the God of Spatial Laws releasing his power to prove a point, they might have already been crushed into the ground by this power.
The only thing that they could do was sit there and let the beautiful woman do what she wanted.
But Lin Fan wasn't planning on just sitting back like this.
So Lin Fan turned to look at the little girl for help.
He had seen the slight frown on her face, so he knew that she didn't approve of this either.
Seeing Lin Fan looking at her, the little girl didn't move at first.
But then she suddenly gave a sigh and raised a hand to stop this.
After she raised a hand, there was a green light that appeared around the beautiful woman that suppressed the life energy that she was releasing.
When the beautiful woman saw this, she couldn't help revealing a shocked look before turning back to look at the little girl. With a complicated look on her face, she said, "Mistress, please don't interfere."
It was surprising to hear that the beautiful woman, the previous Spirit Queen and the current Spirit God called the little girl 'mistress'.
It seemed that the paragon of a continent really was different among God Realm Experts.
With a sigh, the little girl said, "I brought you here so you can talk to your daughter, not so you could kill yourself. Why are you in such a rush? Why not listen to what they have to say first before that? It's not like you hate her and want to leave as soon as possible."
The beautiful woman's expression became even more complicated when she heard this because the little girl was right.
She wanted to do this to make it up to Angela and apologize, but she was unwilling since she didn't want to die and leave her alone.
But this was the only thing that she could do…
So she wanted to bite the bullet and do it before she started to hesitate.
The little girl could see the look on the beautiful woman's face and could understand what she was feeling since she was also a parent.
So with a sigh, she said, "Just wait and see what they have to say first. I know how you feel, but sometimes you need to listen too."
The beautiful woman's expression changed a few times before she finally gave a nod.
With that, the pressure disappeared as both of them released their powers and the beautiful woman sat down again.
There was a silence that filled the room, but it was clear who everyone was waiting for to speak by the direction that they were looking in. That person just had a complicated look on their face and looked down, as if they were thinking about something.
Finally, Angela looked up and said, "I dislike you."
It was three simple words, but it was like a dagger had been driven into the beautiful woman's heart.
She had been waiting a long time to meet her daughter, much longer than her own mother had waited.
It was all because the World of Gods had been completely sealed off during this time that Angela hadn't been able to reach her.
But she had always dreamed about how it would go…
This was the worst way that it could go in her imagination and it was happening in front of her.
The look on her face seemed like she wanted to die…
But Angela wasn't done yet.
Angela took a deep breath and said, "I dislike you, but that doesn't mean that I want you to die. In the end, you are still my mother and I would rather have you alive to dislike than dead."
The beautiful woman didn't know how to react to this.
Her expression changed several times, but in the end, all she could do was reveal a complicated and bitter smile.
The two of them just sat there looking at each other with complicated looks on their faces.
Lin Fan shook his head with a bitter smile when he saw this before turning to the little girl to ask, "I think that it's time that you told us what we're here for."
The little girl gave a nod before saying, "Un, perhaps you'll be able to find a solution to this from what I'm about to tell you."
The little girl calmly took a sip of her own tea before asking a question, "The place that you came from before was the God of Spatial Law's northern continent, right?"
Lin Fan slowly gave a nod to this.
The little girl suddenly revealed a look of disdain.
This was their first time seeing this look on her face and the feeling that it gave really was strange.
However, it didn't last long as the little girl's expression quickly returned to normal.
But before it did, she had muttered, "That old geezer is still alive. I can't wait to see him die."
It seemed that the relationship between the gods, especially the paragons, was complicated.
After she calmed down, she said, "Since you've already heard about the history of the World of Gods, what I'll be telling you is a story about a special someone. You should have heard about him during the history of the World of Gods."
