Bibi Dong's inner thoughts
After assigning the tasks, Wu Qi led Zhao Chenggong back to Spirit City.
He immediately placed Zhao Chenggong in the Blacksmiths' Association.
Lou Gao and the others have solid blacksmithing skills, so their progress in learning Soul Tool Technology will only be faster.
However, Wu Qi will not bring this matter to the forefront in the short term, lest Bibi Dong interfere and disrupt his plans.
Some time after his return, Qiangu Changkong and Hu Liena also returned from the Far North.
Because of Qiangu Changkong's strength, he gained the Ice Empress's approval in advance. Therefore, before he broke through to the Titled Douluo, the Ice Empress completed the Sacrifice for him.
His strength also jumped from level 80 to level 95.
As Qiangu Changkong once said, his title is Dragon Emperor Douluo. As soon as he returned, Qian Jun and Subduing Demon Douluo held a grand banquet for him, announcing to the world that the Qian Gu Family had gained another Titled Douluo.
The glory of having three Douluo from one family is truly unprecedented. For a time, this Qian Gu Family was unparalleled in its prominence.
However, during this time, Bibi Dong of the Papal Hall did not react at all, and did not even mention holding Coronation Ceremony for Qiangu Changkong.
That night, Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong had a private conversation.
"I've only seen Bibi Dong once since I came back. I haven't seen her in either the Papal Hall or Spirit City. I wonder what she's up to," Wu Qi said, expressing his doubts.
Logically, since his return was to seize power, shouldn't Bibi Dong have engaged in a "thorough and unrestrained" political struggle with him? Why has she remained nowhere to be seen, and even the Papal Hall assemblies have been suspended?
Qiangu Changkong replied, "Wu Ge, I'm also puzzled. I even asked Xie Yue and the others, and they said that Bibi Dong only summoned Hu Liena once these past few days, and didn't even summon the two of them."
"After that, Hu Liena disappeared for a day, and when she returned, she never mentioned Bibi Dong again."
"Wu Ge, is it possible that Bibi Dong has already completed the final test and become a Deity? She doesn't want to concern herself with the mortal world, but instead only wants to go to the Divine Realm?"
Wu Qi shook his head.
The birth of Deity on the continent is bound to be a momentous event. Even if the deities themselves are unaware of it, those near the one who becomes a god will certainly notice the unusual phenomenon.
Judging from the current situation, there has never been any news of strange phenomena appearing near Spirit City, so it is highly likely that Bibi Dong has not become a god.
Given Bibi Dong's personality, there's no way she'd back down. But if she's harboring malicious intentions, shouldn't she be holding onto her power even tighter?
These past few days, Wu Qi has been trying to win over powerful figures at all levels throughout the palace, but she remains unmoved.
"Playing dead in politics will only end one's political career prematurely, Bibi Dong must know that. What exactly is she trying to do?" Wu Qi's confusion deepened.
In the Divine Realm, there is a lush, green garden.
"Little Purple, is this Rakshasa God really so sensible?" Sensing the situation inside the Spirit Hall, the Goddess of Life couldn't help but ask.
The God of Destruction scoffed, crossing his arms. "She's a coward! Once the Divine Seat Succession is complete, the Rakshasa God can indeed leave the Divine Realm, but she's planted so many seeds of trouble in the Spirit Hall; they're bound to explode one day."
"She can leave, and so can I; she's afraid that after I leave the rules of the Divine Realm, she'll kill me."
The power of the God King was something that Gods in the Divine Realm feared greatly, let alone a God King who was about to retire and was no longer bound by constraints.
"Then what is the meaning behind Bibi Dong's act of feigning death?" asked the Goddess of Life.
The God of Destruction, "She has already planned her escape route. After inheriting the Rakshasa Godhood, she will not come to the Divine Realm, but will go to an ideal world to escape everything she wants to escape."
"Releasing a First-Level God only requires the signature of one of the five God King. Bibi Dong's move is precisely to obtain Wu Qi's approval."
"For them, this exchange resulted in no loss for either side, and it also prevented internal strife, thus consolidating the Spirit Hall's power."
Bibi Dong confront Wu Qi directly, instead choosing to hide away?
The answer to this question is probably only known to Bibi Dong herself.
The God King possesses special abilities that allow him to see everything happening in the mortal realm. However, the human heart is unfathomable, and even the God King cannot know what an Ordinary Person is thinking. He can only deduce it through certain clues.
The God of Destruction considered for a moment and said, "This matter cannot be known to my successor. Bibi Dong hasn't revealed her hand directly; she may still be making a final struggle. If she still hasn't figured it out, a major battle within the Spirit Hall will be inevitable."
Informing Wu Qi in advance would inevitably interrupt Wu Qi thoughts, and if Bibi Dong changed her mind, they would be caught off guard.
Right now, we can only wait for Bibi Dong to make her final decision.
Wu Qi was unaware of Bibi Dong's attitude, so he went to find Hu Liena. This time, however, Hu Liena remained tight-lipped and did not reveal anything related to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong is feigning death, but Wu Qi can't just sit idly by.
These days, he has been openly and secretly winning over many powerful figures, and has had more time to think about how to take over the mess left by Bibi Dong.
The mess of the Official System alone is enough to cause the entire Spirit Hall to collapse. Under Bibi Dong's management over the years, the lower-level bishops and Deacon have left a very bad impression on the people. If public trust cannot be restored in time, the Spirit Hall may be reduced to a force the size of the Upper Three Sects in the future.
That is, they only have great prestige within a certain region, but cannot cover the entire territory.
Furthermore, according to Wu Qi's vision, the Two Great Empires Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire would inevitably become his obstacles in the future.
How to ensure a smooth transfer of power Imperial Family of the Two Great Empires is a question worth pondering.
Sea God Island.
Tang San truthfully told Bo Saixi and the other Sacred Pillar Douluo about what had happened to Sea Horse Douluo.
"What! Ou Ya is dead!" Sea Dragon Douluo, the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo, was immediately enraged and shouted that he would avenge him personally.
Tang San quickly advised, "Senior Sea Dragon, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School's Sword Bone Douluo is at least level 96. Your strength will be weakened on land."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
If Sea God Island wants to avenge Sea Horse Douluo, it will probably have to send in Bo Saixi!
However, Bo Saixi is now half-buried, and if she were to engage in another high-intensity battle, her internal injuries could be aggravated, and she could very well die on the spot.
Seeing that the Six Sacred Pillar Douluo were helpless, Tang San said, "Senior Poseidon, why don't we unite Bo Saixi Sea God Island and my Clear Sky Sect?"
"The Spirit Hall is powerful, and the Heaven Dou Empire is eyeing it covetously. Once Mu Bai becomes the Star Luo Emperor, the situation on the continent will be a complete mess."
"If Sea God Island is willing to form an alliance with the Clear Sky Sect, our strength will be unprecedented, and avenging Senior Sea Horse will not be a problem."
