Rakshasa's Warning, the Pope's Madness
"Bibi Dong... you've really gone mad..."
The Rakshasa God's voice was incredibly sharp. She looked at the inheritor in front of her in astonishment and said with a hint of malice.
The succession to the Rakshasa Godhood differs from other divine positions. Once a successor is chosen, the divine position is pre-bound to that successor. If the successor dies, the divine position will also disappear. This is why the Rakshasa God is so attentive to Bibi Dong, unlike other Level One God who treat their successors with utmost care.
Even Level One God like the God of God of Fire, who favors Yan as his successor, will still handle the Divine Trial impartially, ensuring it serves its full purpose. Even Level One God like the God of the Sea God, in his current assessment of Tang San, aims to make Tang San stronger—an altruistic assessment. The Rakshasa God, however, is the opposite of other Level One God; her assessments are more self-serving. The more negative emotions the successor possesses, the stronger their divine position becomes.
Even the upper limit of the Rakshasa Godhood is not simply limited to the realm of Level One God. If given enough negative emotions, she could even reach the God King Realm.
This is why the God King are wary of Rakshasa God and keep their distance. The Divine Realm does not particularly welcome such an unstable factor.
"Fine, I'll give you one last year."
The Rakshasa God narrowed her eyes, issuing her final warning to Bibi Dong with a hint of malice.
"If you are still stuck in this Eighth Trial a year from now... then don't blame me for taking action for you and ending this Divine Trial!"
"The Rakshasa Godhood and its successor share in the same glory and the same fate! I should have already said all that when you accepted my Divine Trial!"
"Don't blame me for being ruthless then!"
The Rakshasa God roared, and instantly the evil Rakshasa Divine Power emanating from within the Rakshasa Secret Realm surged forth, causing Bibi Dong to squint her eyes, unable to open them.
Even though she resisted with all her might, the dark purple Rakshasa Divine Power eventually entered her body like a leech, constantly eroding her mind. Bibi Dong knew that she didn't have much time left.
As Bibi Dong emerged from the secret chamber, panting heavily, she immediately saw the worried Hu Liena already waiting at the door.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
Seeing that Bibi Dong was extremely exhausted, Hu Liena stepped forward to help her up with concern.
"I'm fine, Nana."
Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena with some affection, and despite her exhaustion, she still stroked the latter's smooth, fair, and beautiful cheeks.
"You've broken through to level 66? Good boy."
"You have great talent, but don't slack off. Now your brother and Yan have powerful mentors guiding them. Don't let them get you down, Nana."
Despite her affection, Bibi Dong understood that her duty as a Teacher was to guide Hu Liena. She considered Bibi Dong no less capable than any of the old men in the Worship Hall, and naturally didn't want her disciple to lose.
But in fact, this idea is quite absurd. Not to mention Yan, after obtaining the inheritance of the God of Fire, he has been advancing by leaps and bounds. Now, apart from Su He and Qian Renxue, no one in the younger generation of the Spirit Hall can suppress him. Even some elders are no match for him.
Yan, at level 68, is about to begin his formal inheritance. Even though the path is arduous, he will persevere.
Hu Liena is naturally far from being able to compare with Yan. Take Xie Yue for example. Even though Xie Yue's current level is one level lower than hers due to his low Innate Soul Power, Xie Yue's understanding of his Tool Spirit has reached a new level after being guided by the two masters, Qian Jun Jiang Mo.
The Moon Blade possesses boundless sharpness. In a true life-or-death struggle, Hu Liena would be no match for Xie Yue.
Originally the top person of the Golden Generation, she has somehow fallen to the bottom. This is also the result Su He wanted to see. Given Hu Liena's extraordinary behavior in the Original Work, Su He will not make things too difficult for her in this life, and will even give her resources to help her cultivate. But if Hu Liena wants to enter the core power circle of the Spirit Hall, there is absolutely no possibility of it.
Allowing her to grow smoothly into a powerful figure, and eventually become a Platinum Bishop or Titled Douluo Elder, is already the greatest mercy Su He.
The same applies to Bibi Dong. If she relinquishes power, she can live a peaceful old age, and Su He might even help her capture that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang Bibi Dong use as a toy. Otherwise, she will be ruthless with her fists and feet, and don't blame him for using heavy blows.
Seeing the misty sky outside, the sun completely obscured, a gloomy feeling lingered in Bibi Dong's heart. Coupled with the events that had occurred in the Rakshasa Secret Realm, Bibi Dong was extremely agitated. After testing Hu Liena's strength, she sent Hu Liena to cultivate on her own. Bibi Dong dismissed the surrounding guards and sat alone on the Pope throne in the Pope's Hall, staring silently at the angel totem on the dome.
Qian Xunji brought her endless pain, and even though he was dead, the pain could not be erased. Hatred blinded her, and even extended to her own daughter. Bibi Dong gripped her Pope's Scepter tightly, her teeth clenched, the knot in her heart unable to be untied, almost becoming her Inner Demon.
"Tap! Tap!"
"Creak!"
With two crisp knocks, the doors of the Pope's Hall creaked open, and a guard in armor entered the hall shakily, catching Bibi Dong's attention.
"Didn't I give the order that no one should disturb me today?"
Bibi Dong's face turned grim as she began to question the guard. The guard immediately knelt on one knee, trembling as he clasped his hands in explanation.
"Your His Holiness the Pope forgive me! It was Miss and Young Master Su He who came to see you, and the Great Enshrined, the Second Worship, and the Third Offering also came along. I really had no choice!"
The guard was also terrified, but the entourage at the entrance was so impressive that he couldn't utter a word of refusal.
Upon seeing this scene, the Rakshasa God's divine consciousness reappeared within Bibi Dong's body.
"Look what you've done, you fool! You've raised a tiger only to have it come for you! Now they're here to take your life!"
"I told you long ago not to be so sentimental; you're utterly foolish!"
"Come on, let's seize this opportunity and use my power to wipe them all out!"
The Rakshasa God's divine sense whispered in Bibi Dong's ear, speaking slowly in a highly seductive voice.
"What are they doing here... and these old fogies, are they trying to turn the Spirit Hall upside down today?!"
"Fine, since that's how it is, I, Bibi Dong, will play along with you to the very end!"
The sinister purple aura completely invaded Bibi Dong's mind at this moment. Bibi Dong was an extremely sensitive and insecure person. She subconsciously thought that Su He and Qian Renxue had come to take her life so that the Papal Seat could be made available for the Angel Clan.
"Let them in!"
