Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil — Chapter 31

It could be said that

a large part of Qian Renxue's emotional deficiencies in the original work stemmed from Bibi Dong's neglect.

Relying solely on her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, for care was certainly not enough emotional support for a child.

Even if Qian Daoliu had decent character and could properly cultivate her values and morals, a child's developmental issues could still be concealed within a dysfunctional family environment.

Bibi Dong fell silent for a moment before speaking calmly.

"With the Grand Venerable accompanying her, she doesn't need my care."

Qian Renxin did not say much, nor did he get angry.

He knew that Bibi Dong did not truly disregard her biological daughter.

At least judging from the original work, her willingness to block Tang San's fatal strike for Qian Renxue proved that maternal instinct still existed within her.

She simply had likely not yet emerged from the shadow of the secret chamber, leaving a barrier between herself, Qian Renxue, and him.

Resting his chin on his hand, he casually asked, "You should have already made contact with the Rakshasa God, right?"

This was the main reason he had taken the opportunity to approach Bibi Dong.

As one of the four deities who appeared during the Douluo 1 era, the Rakshasa God was too conspicuous for him to ignore.

Moreover, the first trial of the Rakshasa Secret Realm was to devour an Angel God inheritor. He had to take that seriously, lest Bibi Dong secretly made a move against someone again.

Of course, that was far from the only reason.

Most importantly, he wanted to freeload off the Rakshasa God's secret realm to cultivate the power of evil.

Like the Shura God, the Rakshasa God was a deity of malicious intent. One governed slaughter, while the other governed evil thoughts.

The power controlled by the God of Evil clearly encompassed a broader range. Both slaughter and evil thoughts could be used by him.

Therefore, the Rakshasa Secret Realm would also be of considerable help in cultivating his power of evil.

Qian Renxin's probing was so direct

that Bibi Dong, beside him, was badly startled.

This was her deepest secret.

Furthermore, the Rakshasa God had personally told her that the Angel God and Rakshasa God stood on opposing sides. The condition for opening the Rakshasa Secret Realm was devouring an Angel God inheritor.

If Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu discovered it, then even if they did not kill her, her cultivation would be crippled, and she would be locked in a secret chamber for the rest of her life.

She quickly steadied her expression and composure, feigning confusion.

"Rakshasa God? I've never heard of it..."

"It recognized you as its inheritor back in the secret chamber, didn't it?"

Qian Renxin spoke indifferently, as though chatting about everyday matters. Yet his words carried immense certainty, as if he were simply stating a fact.

Seeing that he could even name the exact time and place, she turned to glance at Gui Mei in the distance.

He was a level ninety-five Titled Douluo, while she was only a Soul Douluo at present. There was no way she could escape Spirit City.

Bibi Dong let out a long sigh, as though resigning herself to fate.

"That's right... How did you know?"

"Don't forget, I'm also a Deity Inheritor. Naturally, I can sense a trace of divine power within you." Qian Renxin casually made up an excuse.

The excuse was quite plausible.

Bibi Dong recalled the Rakshasa God's earlier warning. The deity behind Qian Renxin was definitely extraordinary. If it could frighten the Rakshasa God to that extent, then it was hardly surprising that he could see through her secret.

"Could you... refrain from interfering?"

Bibi Dong lowered her head. "This is the hatred between your father and me. You don't know what he did to me..."

"I know." Qian Renxin nodded.

Bibi Dong was astonished.

Given Qian Daoliu's concern for appearances, she had assumed he would never tell the younger generation about such a scandal.

After all, for the Angel clan, which prided itself on purity and light, to commit such an act was something Qian Daoliu had always been unwilling to mention, regarding it as a stain upon himself.

She grew nervous.

Qian Renxin's choice would determine whether she lived or died.

"Then... what do you intend to choose? Tell your grandfather?"

"I came to make a deal with you."

Qian Renxin shook his head. "I'll help you open the Rakshasa Secret Realm, and you will let go of your past hatred and wholeheartedly assist me and Spirit Hall."

His tone was extremely confident.

The Rakshasa God had far too many weaknesses.

Just interfering with the Shura God's inheritor alone was enough to leave it utterly at his mercy.

Once this matter came to light, the wrath of Shura God, one of the God Kings, would be no laughing matter.

Tang Chen had shown in the original story that he had the potential to inherit a godhood, yet the Rakshasa God had ruined him completely. It was equivalent to ruining a qualified inheritor who appeared only once in ten thousand years.

Even if the Rakshasa God was considered outstanding among First-level Gods, Shura would surely crush it in the God Realm, forcing it to pay a heavy price.

If he put in a few "good words" before the two God Kings, the Rakshasa God would likely be subjected to the laws of the God Realm.

"Help me open the Rakshasa Secret Realm?"

Bibi Dong was shaken to the core.

She had not expected Qian Renxin's opening offer to be so astonishing.

Even while she had still been in that secret chamber, she had already received contact from the Rakshasa God. However, she had yet to truly begin the Rakshasa inheritance, because the condition for opening the secret realm was to devour an inheritor of the Angel.

There were only four Angel inheritors in total. She certainly could not lay a hand on Qian Renxin or Qian Renxue.

Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu were both beyond her ability to deal with, so she could only remain hidden within Spirit Hall and wait for an opportunity.

"Not only will I help you solve the problem of the Rakshasa Secret Realm, I can even help you raise your cultivation."

Qian Renxin pressed his advantage and continued to tempt her. "With my help, along with the Rakshasa God's inheritance, becoming a god will practically be a certainty."

Bibi Dong drew a deep breath, pain filling her breathtakingly beautiful face.

"I have lived until today for the sake of revenge. How could I possibly let it go because of a few casual words from you?!"

Qian Renxin was not disappointed. He merely said calmly, "With me here, you cannot kill my father."

Bibi Dong clenched the corner of her robes, understanding that Qian Renxin was stating the truth.

So long as Qian Renxin remained even slightly vigilant, she, with only Soul Douluo cultivation, would have almost no chance to exploit.

Her expression dimmed somewhat. After a moment of silence, she asked, "You still chose Qian Xunji?"

"I am not taking sides, but he is my father. I cannot allow him to die tragically when I know what will happen."

After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxin said, "I have no interest in, nor the right to, force someone to let go of their suffering. I am merely giving you another choice. This choice will allow you to regain happiness. Xiaoxue and I will continue to acknowledge you as our mother. You can pursue the highest realm of a Soul Master, just as you did when you first became one—becoming a god."

Upon hearing Qian Renxin's words, Bibi Dong was somewhat moved, but she did not agree outright.

Qian Renxin's terms were highly tempting. So long as she gave up on seeking revenge against Qian Xunji, Xiaoxue and Xin'er could still acknowledge her as their mother.

She could even become a god and possess endless years.

At present, opening the Rakshasa Secret Realm was practically impossible for her. She could not defeat Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji was protected by Qian Renxin, and she certainly could not bring herself to harm Qian Renxin or Qian Renxue.

"When you help me open the Rakshasa Secret Realm, I will spare Qian Xunji."

Bibi Dong replied in a low voice, having made up her mind.

She was not someone incapable of recognizing reality. Since revenge was hopeless, she might as well choose a path better suited to herself.

Qian Renxin nodded in relief.

Bibi Dong's talent was exceptionally strong. She could be considered the only Divine Inheritor who had truly completed her trials.

People like Qian Renxue and Tang San had, more or less, relied on cheats.

He believed that once he helped Bibi Dong open her trials, she would likely reach the rank of Super Douluo within a few years, becoming a great source of support in his struggle against Di Tian and the other savage beasts.

Her administrative abilities were also outstanding. In merely a dozen or so years, she had transformed Spirit Hall into the Spirit Hall Empire and won the support of a vast number of people. This alone showed how capable she was.

Most importantly, Bibi Dong was also his mother by blood.

If the knot in her heart remained unresolved, the two of them might one day turn their weapons against each other.

Although they had not shared many interactions, he still found something like matricide difficult to accept—especially when Bibi Dong truly loved her children.

He held his right hand flat before Bibi Dong and condensed the Goodness Origin in his palm.

"What is this?"

Bibi Dong felt warmth surge through her entire body. Even the pain from having just let go of her hatred lessened considerably.

"This is the origin power of one of the gods I will inherit—the Power of Goodness. It specializes in suppressing wicked thoughts."

Qian Renxin explained calmly, then placed his right hand over Bibi Dong's forehead.

The milky-white Power of Goodness was absorbed into her mind, driving away most of her wicked thoughts.

He had long suspected that part of the reason Bibi Dong had grown increasingly extreme was due to the influence of the Rakshasa God's Aura of Evil.

Logically speaking, Even after what Bibi Dong had experienced in that secret chamber, the people she should have hated were only Qian Xunji, and at most Qian Daoliu as well.

Though her great vengeance had clearly been avenged, she instead became even more deranged, even wanting to destroy the entire Angel Clan and destroy the whole world.

The Rakshasa God happened to be the God of Evil Thoughts. He did not believe there was no connection between them.

As Bibi Dong absorbed the Goodness Origin, it was as if she were basking in spring sunshine, her entire body utterly relaxed.

She could not remember how long it had been since she had felt so comfortable.

Ever since the incident in that secret chamber, she had almost constantly relived that scene in her mind. She often woke up in the middle of the night, and the shadow of pain had always haunted her, her spirit gradually weakening as well.

But at this moment, it was as though she had cast all her pain aside and, after so long, felt an optimistic and cheerful state of mind again.

After Hu Liena came out, the three of them wandered around the streets for a while longer.

After seeing Hu Liena home, Qian Renxin did not linger in the streets. He followed Gui Mei and Rou Tu back to the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong went with him as well.

She had once been the Spirit Hall's Saintess, so her residence had naturally been arranged within the Pope's Palace.

The moment they entered the palace, Qian Renxin had Gui Mei take Rou Tu away, then followed Bibi Dong upstairs alone.

He was going to communicate with the Rakshasa God, so the fewer people around, the better.

This secret could not be exposed for the time being.

Bibi Dong went upstairs and pushed open the door to her bedroom.
