Undercurrents Surge

After returning to their own factions, everyone reported the results of their exploration of the Dugu Family to their superiors.

The results naturally caused an uproar.

If the ones sent had not been die-hard loyalists, the rulers of the various factions would never have dared believe their words were true.

The dead Dugu Xin had appeared again; Resurrection Items; God Trial Candidates; resource exchanges...

Every single matter was enough to cause a shock, let alone all of them actually being crammed together. It felt like listening to some folk tale.

But now, it was all real. And so, before the others could react, they had to hurry and gather resources. On this point, it became the consensus of all the major factions.

Beneath these surging undercurrents, the major factions gradually began to move.

Spirit City.

Papal Hall.

"As expected, it is the work of a god." Listening to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's account, Bibi Dong sighed.

It was a god's work, and judging by the situation, he was even the sole successor personally chosen by that god. In that case, they could not easily make a move against Wu Tong.

First, stabilize him. Hopefully, he will not interfere with my Soul Hunting Plan.

Bibi Dong let out a faint sigh.

However, thinking of that god's lavish generosity, Bibi Dong could not help feeling envious. "When others inherit a God Position, the god rushes to have them inherit it. All kinds of treasures only need some scraps to be exchanged for them. It is practically like treating him as a biological son."

That was right. In the eyes of those in power, the so-called resources were precious, yes, but that was all. They could not compare to those treasures at all.

To Bibi Dong, a method of exchanging resources for treasures was practically like trading trash for pearls.

"But when I inherit a God Position, not only do I have to be eroded by Rakshasa divine power, my cultivation is suppressed, and I cannot use my full strength, I only get one divine artifact to inherit."

"Is the Rakshasa God just too poor, or is this deliberate? Is this truly the attitude one should have toward an inheritor?"

Bibi Dong's mind became unbalanced.

God Realm.

Rakshasa Temple.

"Achoo~"

"What's going on? I've already become a god, so how can I still sneeze? Is someone planning to scheme against me?"

The Rakshasa God sneezed and began to grow suspicious of everything.

It was truly because They had offended too many people in the God Realm. They were genuinely the kind of fellow both humans and dogs despised.

"Is it the Sea God? Angel? Or the Fire God?... Could it be Asura?"

Thinking of what They had done at the place where the Asura God selected his inheritor, Rakshasa also felt very guilty.

But this could not really be blamed on Them. It was truly because Asura had built the inheritance site in a way that suited Them too well. A place where such dense negative emotions mingled with killing intent—They simply could not hold back.

"But it will be soon. Once that inheritor who'll take the blame comes up, I'll immediately run. After I reach the universe, it won't be so easy for Asura and the others to find me."

Thinking of the scene of that group going mad with rage, the Rakshasa God could not help laughing.

Spirit City.

Papal Hall.

As Bibi Dong complained about the Rakshasa God, deep in her heart, she also began to doubt the Rakshasa God's purpose, though she did not show it.

Bibi Dong looked at the two people standing below. "Yue Guan, Guimei, since you were the ones who brought back the intelligence, you will be responsible for the construction of Wu Tong's Academy."

"As you command, Your Holiness the Pope." ×2

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Sect main hall.

"Fengzhi, this information is truly too important. We need to start preparing as soon as possible too." After hearing Ning Fengzhi explain the work assigned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Gu Rong was also extremely excited.

"I truly did not expect that the little fellow the two of you saved back then would now actually cause such a huge sensation."

Gu Rong excitedly praised Ning Fengzhi's actions at the time.

Ning Fengzhi spoke gently. "Uncle Sword and I did not expect it either. Back then, it was only because Mister Wu Tong was Qinghe's man that we acted to save him. I never expected that this time, he would bring such a great surprise."

"I just did not expect that the faction Mister Wu Tong wanted to establish would actually only be an Academy. But it does indeed suit him very well."

Thinking of what Dugu Bo had said, Ning Fengzhi could not help sighing as well. An Academy suited Wu Tong very well.

"Uncle Sword, let us start preparing too. Go bring Rongrong back. We cannot let her run around causing trouble anymore. Once Mister Wu Tong's Academy is established, send Rongrong there to study."

"All right, I will set out now." Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Chen Xin did not hesitate. After all, being taught by Wu Tong would be better than being taught by other people outside, and it would also put them more at ease.

Ning Fengzhi might have had some little intentions of his own. Though Chen Xin had guessed them, he did not reject them. After all, that was also for Rongrong's good.

"Uncle Gu, go find the elders and bring them over. We will discuss the site selection for Mister Wu Tong's Academy together."

Tian Dou Imperial Family.

"What!!! Resurrection? Gods? God Trial Candidate?"

Xue Ye listened to Xue Qinghe's report with a face full of disbelief.

"Yes, Imperial Father. These matters were all personally admitted by Poison Douluo, and Poison Douluo's son has indeed been resurrected. This son believes that this matter is true." Xue Qinghe looked at Xue Ye's incredulous expression, his tone neither servile nor overbearing.

"Good, good, good. I never expected that your retainer... no, your close friend, Wu Tong, would actually become a God Trial Candidate. And judging from the situation, Wu Tong will definitely become a god in the future. You have truly done very well."

"Then, Qinghe, the matter of Wu Tong establishing an Academy will be left entirely to you. You must handle it well."

Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe before him, refined, elegant, and full of noble bearing, and could not help feeling even more satisfied with him.

"As you command. This son accepts the order and will definitely handle this matter properly."

When Xue Qinghe heard Xue Ye's instruction, he hurriedly spoke.

"All right, then Qinghe, hurry and see to it. Do not delay." Hearing Xue Qinghe's words, Xue Ye could not help nodding, then told Xue Qinghe to hurry and complete those matters.

"Yes. Then this son will take his leave first. Imperial Father, please take good care of your health."

Hearing Xue Ye's words, Xue Qinghe rose and withdrew.

Crown Prince Residence.

Xue Qinghe's bedroom.

As a soft golden light surged, Xue Qinghe removed his disguise and returned to Qian Renxue's appearance.

Her golden hair spilled down like a waterfall, and her lamb-fat white jade skin looked so delicate it could be broken by a puff of breath. A beauty enough to drive countless men mad appeared in the mirror.

"I never expected that Wu Tong would actually obtain a god's favor. And according to Dugu Bo's description, it seems he was even personally chosen by that god as the sole inheritor. In other words, he can definitely become a god."

Qian Renxue's apricot lips parted slightly, her vivid red lips making one wish they could simply press A and charge straight in.

Unfortunately, there was no one else in this room, and no one could see Qian Renxue's truest beauty.

"As expected of the talent I chose. But Wu Tong has already set foot on the Path to Godhood, while I still do not know how much longer I must maintain this disguise."

Qian Renxue let out a faint sigh and leaned back onto the bed.

"Sigh, forget it. Let nature take its course. I just wonder what reaction that 'elder sister' of mine has right now. If she knew about Wu Tong's relationship with me, what kind of expression would she have?"

Thinking of that woman, Qian Renxue's face carried mockery.

"Pufferfish Elder, I will have to trouble you to act and get rid of Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng."

Since Dugu Bo and Wu Tong now had a connection, Prince Xue Xing could not be kept. Better safe than sorry.

If Prince Xue Xing stirred up discord in the future, given his relationship with Dugu Bo, perhaps he really would cause some trouble.

As for Xue Beng, that was just convenient. Did he really think she did not know about his disguise over these years? It really must have been hard on him, acting for so many years.

"As you command, Your Highness."

As the voice fell, a figure rushed out, speeding off into the distance.

"Serpent Spear Elder, go help me contact the Defense Clan. I need to meet them tomorrow and discuss having them help with the construction of Wu Tong's Academy buildings."

"Yes, Your Highness."
