There was one more thing
"If it wasn't you, then who could it be?"
Bibi Dong crossed her legs, her tone quite indifferent.
"If it were Wanwan, I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to reinstate the Pope. Wanwan's abilities are undeniable, and she is absolutely qualified to assume the Pope in the future, sharing the burdens of His Holiness the future His Holiness the Pope."
Golden Crocodile's voice echoed in the Main Hall, but his gaze was fixed on Qian Daoliu, who sat in the main seat.
Although he supported the reinstatement of the Pope, the final decision still rested with Qian Daoliu.
Guangling glanced at Bai Wanwan beside her, thought about it seriously for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
Golden Crocodile, Bai Wanwan's Teacher, has already spoken up, so it would be somewhat inappropriate for him, as Bai Wanwan's grandfather, to also offer his support.
Although he didn't say it, in Guangling's heart, if a position were to be reinstated, the most suitable candidate would definitely be his granddaughter Bai Wanwan.
After all, among all the younger generation of the Spirit Hall, in terms of ability, strength, talent, and achievements, only Qian Renxue, as the Young Master, can rival Bai Wanwan. As for the others, they are basically not even qualified.
"Grandpa, I think it's a good idea to reinstate the Pope."
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu, but her hand rested on Bai Wanwan's shoulder.
Qian Renxue is very supportive of the reinstatement of the Pope.
The main reason for the support was that Bai Wanwan was the future Pope.
In Qian Renxue's view, even Bai Wanwan was hers, so wouldn't giving away half of the power, restarting the position of Pope, and having Bai Wanwan assume it, still mean it was still hers?
It's simply a matter of moving from the left pocket to the right pocket; there's absolutely no difference.
"Well then, let's reinstate the Pope."
"When the next Pope ascends the throne, the position of Pope will be reinstated, and the Inauguration Ceremony of both will be held on the same day."
"The proposal to establish Holy Maiden is also acceptable."
"However, the timing of the Enthronement Ceremony needs to be carefully discussed."
Qian Daoliu put down the paper in his hand and looked at Bibi Dong beside him.
"I think the Appointment of Holy Maiden can be set three years from now."
"Firstly, Xue'er and Wanwan's identities should not be revealed too early."
Secondly, Wanwan is only nineteen years old. There's no need to rush the Enthronement Ceremony. Three years from now would be the most suitable time, giving us ample time to prepare. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, we can also move the date forward or postpone it.
Bibi Dong softly shared her thoughts.
Bai Wanwan, the person involved, silently ate her pastries, showing no intention of saying anything.
Whether it's Holy Maiden or the future Pope, Bai Wanwan doesn't really care. If it falls into her hands, she'll take it; if it doesn't, she won't feel regretful.
Anyway, her Teacher is the Second Worship, her grandfather is the Fifth Elder, her lover is the Young Master of the Spirit Hall, and she herself has the strength and talent to support her. She is not just a pretty face. Whether she has the title of Holy Maiden or Pope, it makes no difference to Bai Wanwan.
In other words, as long as she doesn't do anything that would incur divine or human wrath, regardless of whether she holds the position of Holy Maiden or Pope, her future influence within the Spirit Hall will be at the very top.
After discussing for a while and finishing all the matters, everyone decided to temporarily follow the time set by Bibi Dong, and then decide whether to hold the ceremony of bestowing the title of Holy Maiden earlier or later in three years, depending on the situation.
After everything was settled, Bibi Dong prepared to return to the Papal Hall.
But at that moment...
Bai Wanwan, who hadn't spoken until now, put down the pastries in her hand and called out to Bibi Dong, who was about to leave.
"Your His Holiness the Pope, please wait a moment."
"I have something very important to tell His Holiness the Pope and several diviners."
Bai Wanwan's expression was serious and earnest.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong sat down again, ready to listen to what Bai Wanwan had to say.
The rest of the people's eyes were also fixed on Bai Wanwan.
"Your His Holiness the Pope."
"Dear Venerable Ones, before I disappeared, my sister and I discovered traces of the Evil Soul Master."
Bai Wanwan spoke softly.
"Wanwan, Xue'er already told us about the Evil Soul Master."
Qian Daoliu a gentle smile.
Qian Renxue did tell them about this, after all, Bai Wanwan disappeared during the campaign to eliminate the Evil Soul Master.
"Grand Elder, what I am about to say is something my sister has absolutely never told you."
"Based on the Message I have, the three Evil Soul Masters from back then were not native to our land, but came from another continent."
"Another continent is called the Sun Moon Continent. On that continent, there is a unified empire called the Sun Moon Empire, and an Evil Soul Master organization called the Holy Spirit Cult..."
Bai Wanwan recounted everything she knew.
Listening to Bai Wanwan's story, both Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder, and Bibi Dong, the Pope, became serious.
Bai Wanwan knew all this because she learned Message from the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.
The Evil Emperor was once an important partner of the Holy Spirit Cult, so he had a relatively good understanding of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire.
All Bai Wanwan is doing now is repeating what the Evil Emperor told her, the only difference being that she doesn't go into as much detail as the Evil Emperor did.
Although it wasn't as detailed as what the Evil Emperor had described, as long as it could attract the attention of the Spirit Hall's higher-ups, that was enough for Bai Wanwan.
After Bai Wanwan finished speaking, the Main Hall fell silent.
"Sun Moon Continent."
"Sun Moon Empire."
"Holy Spirit Cult."
Qian Daoliu muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the Extreme North.
"If the last incident was a probe or infiltration, then they must have come from the Northern Ice Fields."
Bibi Dong's gaze also turned towards the Extreme North.
The Spirit Hall's influence can be said to have spread throughout the entire continent, with the only place it truly hasn't reached is the frigid land of the Extreme North.
Strictly speaking, the Extreme North is a no-man's-land.
Due to the frigid climate of the Northern Ice Fields, which ordinary taxi soldiers could not endure, and the fact that the Extreme North had no strategic significance, Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire had not stationed troops in that Extreme North for a long time.
Since there are no cities in the Northern Ice Fields, the Spirit Hall has never established a branch there. Over time, the harsh and cold land in the Northern Ice Fields has become a no-man's-land.
In addition, decades ago, when the Spirit Hall was cracking down on Evil Soul Master, some of Evil Soul Master fled to the Extreme North. So, apart from the occasional Soul Master going there for training, there are basically no people active in that place.
