Bibi Dong Was Stunned—Whose Work Was This?

What appeared before Bibi Dong was a towering nine-story pavilion, a hundred meters tall.

"The Cardinal really didn't lie to me!"

How was this possible?!

As one of the most esteemed people on Douluo Continent, even Bibi Dong could not imagine what kind of power could transform the landscape overnight right under her nose and construct such a magnificent pavilion.

Moreover, Bibi Dong keenly noticed that the pavilion not only had nine floors, but each floor was also nine meters tall.

Nine?

This was the ultimate yang number, the greatest of all odd numbers.

It was often used to describe emperors. Not only were emperors called supreme rulers, but many things related to emperors were also associated with the number nine.

The stone steps leading into the Papal Palace numbered eighty-one, nine times nine, symbolizing the Pope's noble status.

Just which heaven-reaching figure had created this?!

As she continued forward, five large characters entered Bibi Dong's sight: Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion.

An auction pavilion?

Bibi Dong's delicate brows furrowed as countless fragments of memory flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

She was familiar with auction pavilions. The Two Great Empires and Spirit Hall both controlled auction pavilions, using them to earn Gold Soul Coins and cover their daily operating expenses.

But she had never heard of the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion.

Could this be the work of a God King from the Divine Realm?

Having undergone a God Trial, Bibi Dong knew that higher forms of life existed above Douluo Continent. Perhaps they possessed the ability to create such a wonder overnight beneath her very eyes.

Yet she quickly dismissed the thought herself.

Precisely because she had undergone a God Trial, she knew the Divine Realm was forbidden from interfering with Douluo Continent. Even God Kings of the Divine Realm were no exception.

Then whose handiwork was this Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion?!

At that moment, even Bibi Dong was in turmoil.

Bibi Dong's steps had grown heavy.

Ever since ascending to the position of Pope and using iron-blooded methods to wipe out all opposition, she had never been so shocked—not since the first time she received a God Trial mission.

Her heart, still as an ancient well for so many years, now began to pound rapidly.

Gather rare treasures from all realms; retain the pinnacle wealth of ten thousand worlds.

Bibi Dong stared at the grand, vigorous characters. In an instant, it felt as though her entire consciousness had been drawn inside.

It was a boundless universe, silent, cold, and endless to the eye.

Before that infinite universe, Bibi Dong felt that she was not even as significant as a firefly. She was so tiny that she could not even be considered a speck of dust.

In the silent universe, one plane after another flashed past. What were those?

Suddenly, an indescribable force shoved Bibi Dong back into reality.

Huff!

Huff!

Huff!

Bibi Dong gasped violently. What had those scenes been? And that force?

And those planes—could they all be worlds like Douluo Continent?

When her eyes fixed on the characters again, nothing happened.

As the Pope, with Twin Martial Souls cultivated to the level of Titled Douluo and having undergone a God Trial, Bibi Dong had once believed she understood this world completely.

There was no secret she did not know.

Yet now, standing before the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion, she was completely shaken. Deep within her soul, an inexplicable fear of the unknown arose.

Mixed within that fear was a trace of curiosity and desire to explore the unknown.

Bibi Dong cautiously released her Soul Power, afraid of provoking the master of this place.

Strangely, when her Soul Power slowly approached the pavilion, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, unable to advance even an inch.

There was no way to investigate the situation inside the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong did not force her way in and slowly retreated. Yet it was clear that—

Bibi Dong was now weighed down by worries, and her steps were no longer as light as before.

She released a killing intent, carrying an unquestionable majesty, and ordered the Cardinal behind her:

"Regarding the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion and everything that happened here, do not deliberately avoid it, nor deliberately approach it. Treat it as if this Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion had never appeared. Do you understand?"

"This subordinate understands."

At this, the Cardinal, who had felt as though every day had been a year, hurriedly answered. The weight hanging over his heart finally lifted. His life had been spared.

Half an hour later.

A man in a crimson ceremonial robe appeared in the council hall. His red robe was embroidered with gold and silver patterns, and his skin was as tender as a baby's.

The man gave off an alluring air. With a respectful, ingratiating expression, he bent halfway at the waist and listened to the Pope's decree.

"Chrysanthemum Du."

"Your Excellency the Pope, this subordinate is here. Please give your orders."

Bibi Dong's beautiful face was filled with seriousness as she solemnly said, "Investigate the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion as quickly as possible. At the same time, investigate whether Myriad Realms Auction Pavilions, or similar buildings, have suddenly appeared overnight in other cities across Douluo Continent."

"This subordinate understands. Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Pope. I will not fail in my duty and will investigate this thoroughly in the shortest possible time."

Five days later.

White clouds drifted across the blue sky, while green grass stretched beneath them.

Led by Daji, Su Mu had arrived at the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Star Dou Great Forest was one of the three most famous Soul Beast habitats on Douluo Continent. It was so vast that its area was nearly equal to the territory of the Balak Kingdom, spanning the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire.

It was an enormous primeval forest with complex terrain, including wetlands and swamps.

The Soul Beasts there were also exceptionally terrifying. The closer one came to the center of the forest, the stronger the Soul Beasts became.

There were even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts inside. Any Soul Master with sufficient strength and good luck could find the Soul Ring most suitable for themselves there.

For ordinary Soul Masters, it was also an extremely dangerous forbidden land. Many Soul Masters entered to hunt Soul Rings, only to become food for Soul Beasts and lose their lives there.

It was said that deep within the forest, there were two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts: the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. Even ordinary Titled Douluo were no match for them and had to avoid their edge.

"We're finally here."

Su Mu looked at the endless primeval forest before him and marveled at nature's miraculous craftsmanship.

He was also full of curiosity about the Star Dou Great Forest. This was practically a famous check-in destination for countless transmigrators.

Not only were the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python inside.

Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, at the Lake of Life, there was also Gu Yuena, the common ancestor of Soul Beasts.

That was the most terrifying place of all—and the place transmigrators most wanted to conquer.

"Daji, can you sense the habitat of the Man Faced Demon Spider?"

"Master, when Daji transmigrated to Douluo Continent, the system had already instilled geographical knowledge of Douluo Continent and a Soul Beast distribution map into me."

"The Man Faced Demon Spider's habitat is roughly thirty kilometers to the northwest."

"Alright, then let's go!" Su Mu added, "Daji, restrain your aura. Try not to alert any powerful Soul Beasts."

"Please rest assured, Master. Daji will work hard to do the things Master likes." Daji said, swaying her fluffy tail and blinking her large, doll-like eyes.
