"Chen Yue, are you sure you want to leave?"
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope. My talent is too poor. You spent so much effort on me, yet I only barely reached the rank of Soul Elder. I truly have let you down!"
At the Pope's Palace in Spirit City, Chen Yue let out a long sigh and cupped his hands toward the noble yet aloof woman before him. "I am truly sorry!"
Clad in white, the Pope Bibi Dong exuded an aura of profound nobility. Hearing this, she turned around and gazed deeply at Chen Yue. Her lips parted, but in the end, she said nothing and merely nodded. "Since you have already made your decision, I will not stop you..."
Chen Yue's talent truly was abysmal.
Back then, Chen Yue had only been a Great Spirit Master when he saved her from a mountain village ravaged by Evil Spirit Masters and brought her to Spirit City. She then joined Spirit Hall, was chosen as the Saintess, and eventually became the Pope she was today.
Throughout that time, she had spent countless resources nurturing Chen Yue. Yet even now, she had only managed to raise him to the rank of Soul Elder. All manner of precious treasures had proven useless.
But to Bibi Dong, Chen Yue was far more than merely her savior!
Although Chen Yue had been utterly mediocre in cultivation over the years, his research into martial soul theory had greatly shocked the Worship Hall. Unfortunately, without practical results to support it, it had been considered useless.
Later, she stepped forward and volunteered to try it herself, ultimately achieving astonishing results.
Her Twin Martial Souls were the Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. After following Chen Yue's "practical results"...
And the age of her soul rings had also been substantially increased!
She remembered.
A long time ago, someone had proposed the so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls. Chen Yue's theories, backed by actual results, had utterly crushed him into dust.
After undergoing a complete transformation by centering her growth around Chen Yue's theoretical system, the Worship Hall had been shaken to its core. Even the Pope at the time, Qian Xunji, had been willing to offer her hand in marriage to Chen Yue as a bargaining chip to keep him in Spirit Hall!
Otherwise.
With Chen Yue's meager talent, even if she had done everything in her power to guarantee him, how could he possibly have become the Guard Captain of the Pope's Palace and lived in Spirit Hall for so long?
Of course, Chen Yue had not agreed at the time. The young Bibi Dong had even been somewhat angry, until Chen Yue told her, "I don't want to hold you back because of me!" Those words utterly moved the still-innocent young Bibi Dong, and she resolved to cultivate harder so that she could gain control of Spirit Hall.
Unfortunately, she had only just become Pope and had yet to gain real authority when Chen Yue chose to leave. She had no choice but to agree.
"Wait."
Just as he reached the gates of the Pope's Palace, Chen Yue suddenly heard Bibi Dong's voice behind him. He stopped at once. The next moment, he felt a soft body press against his back, followed by Bibi Dong's gentle whisper. "You... wait for me. Wait until I take control of Spirit Hall!"
Though she had become Pope, she was newly appointed, and her own strength was insufficient. She truly lacked the power to manage it all.
"But remember, no matter what happens outside, you can always come back and find me..."
Chen Yue paused at those words and silently muttered to himself, Then how about having a child for me?
Of course, he definitely did not dare say that aloud.
Otherwise, with Bibi Dong's love-struck mind, she might truly tie him up and do it regardless of everything else. Then he would really be in deep trouble!
After all, he was not like that fool Yu Xiaogang from the original story, who recklessly ran off with someone else's Saintess and eventually gave rise to Secret Chamber Douluo.
He had to think everything through before acting!
That's right!
Chen Yue was a transmigrator who had been reborn into this world!
