Within the Pope's Residence at Jialing Pass.

A faint medicinal fragrance still lingered in the air of the lavish hall.

Bibi Dong reclined against the soft throne. Having just absorbed the Heavenly Screen's reward, her aura was several times stronger than before, though her face still retained some post-recovery pallor.

Yet as she looked at the ranking on the Heavenly Screen, a knowing smile touched her lips.

"Just as I expected."

Her voice was slightly hoarse, yet it carried the confidence of someone who saw through everything.

"Tang San's talent has always been on par with mine. I'm ranked fourteenth and he's thirteenth. That makes sense."

Beside her, Hu Liena's peach-blossom eyes were filled with shock.

"Teacher, how could that be?"

"Tang San's talent is unmatched and shocked the continent. When we were in Slaughter City, I saw his strength with my own eyes... I never expected him to be ranked only thirteenth?"

In Hu Liena's heart, Tang San was the finest person she had ever met, without equal.

She had even once believed there could be no one in this world more outstanding among their generation than Tang San.

But now, this cruel ranking told her that above Tang San, there were twelve even more monstrous beings.

Bibi Dong glanced at her disciple and spoke indifferently.

"This only proves that the Spirit Ranking runs far deeper than we imagined."

Hearing this, Hu Liena murmured unconsciously.

"Even Tang San can only rank thirteenth... I truly wonder what kind of person could rank first."

Her gaze fell upon the Heavenly Screen again. This time, she noticed the generous rewards that made people green with envy.

"Wow!"

Hu Liena could not help crying out.

"Fivefold Spirit Power Solidification, all Spirit Bones elevated to one hundred thousand years, and the godly skill Golden Thirteen Halberds... these rewards are far too generous!"

An unusual gleam flickered in her eyes, and her voice held a trace of fascination.

"With these rewards, Tang San will probably become even stronger... Is there really anyone on the continent more outstanding than him?"

Hearing Hu Liena's almost worshipful words, Bibi Dong's brows furrowed imperceptibly before relaxing again.

She shook her head and spoke as though it were only natural.

"It is only right that Tang San is exceptional."

"He is Xiao Gang's finest student."

"Xiao Gang's knowledge of Spirit Theory is unparalleled across the entire continent. No one can surpass him. Tang San is his student, so it is perfectly normal for him to achieve this much."

At the mention of that name, Bibi Dong's gaze instantly softened, and her voice unconsciously grew much gentler.

"Besides, he is now set to inherit the Sea God Position. His future achievements will be limitless."

As Hu Liena listened to her teacher, a flicker of confusion crossed her eyes.

"But, Teacher..."

She pointed at the Heavenly Screen's commentary and asked in confusion.

"The Heavenly Screen says Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor martial soul should follow the Life System rather than the Control System. It also says that he... neglected the fundamentals and let a pearl gather dust?"

Bang!

Bibi Dong slammed her palm onto the armrest, and the hard jade armrest of the throne cracked in response.

Her expression darkened, and her voice suddenly rose.

"Ridiculous!"

A powerful Soul Power pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall, pressing down on Hu Liena until she could barely breathe.

"How could Xiao Gang's theory possibly be wrong!"

Bibi Dong's voice was filled with unyielding certainty.

"The Heavenly Screen is merely playing tricks and pandering to the crowd! Blue Silver Grass is naturally a Control System martial soul. This is the theory Xiao Gang spent half his life researching. It is the truth of the continent!"

Hu Liena was frightened pale and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to voice even the slightest doubt.

"Yes, Teacher is right. Nana knows her mistake."

She then softly echoed her words.

"Teacher is right. Tang San is so strong, which proves the Control System is correct."

Only then did Bibi Dong's expression ease. She withdrew her pressure, and the atmosphere in the hall returned to calm.

Hu Liena looked at her teacher, excitement shining in her eyes. Lowering her voice, she asked expectantly.

"Teacher, since Tang San has made the ranking, then when will we... betray Spirit Hall?"

Seeing Tang San become famous throughout the world once more, Hu Liena could not wait to follow her teacher into the camp she had longed for.

However, Bibi Dong shook her head.

She looked out the window, her gaze distant, as though it had pierced through the barriers of space to see the figure she could never forget.

"Although I miss him, and want to see Xiao Gang immediately..."

A trace of barely perceptible vulnerability entered her voice.

"But I would be too embarrassed to go see him just like that..."

"He is so exceptional, and his student is equally exceptional. But what about me? If I went to him empty-handed, wouldn't I only embarrass him?"

Her tone shifted, and Bibi Dong's eyes instantly became incomparably resolute. A tyrannical aura that looked down upon the world rose naturally from her.

"I, Bibi Dong, either do not go, or if I do, I must bring a gift that will shake him and the entire continent!"

"I will give him all of Spirit Hall—no... I will personally place the entire continent before him!"

Hu Liena's heart swayed as she listened, utterly convinced by the powerful bearing emanating from her teacher.

She swallowed and asked cautiously.

"Then... Teacher, what do we do now?"

Bibi Dong fell into thought.

Although she had received the Heavenly Screen's reward and her strength had surged, old men like Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo remained towering mountains in her path.

If she wanted to seize complete control of Spirit Hall, relying on herself alone would not be enough.

"Jing's betrayal taught me a lesson."

Bibi Dong spoke slowly, a Cold Gleam flashing through her violet eyes.

"If we want to accomplish great things, we need more reliable allies."

She rose from the throne and walked to a massive map of the continent.

Her finger swept across the two great empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire before finally stopping over a vast territory that belonged to neither empire.

"Teacher, this is..."

Hu Liena stepped closer curiously.

Bibi Dong's fingertip tapped the capital of that territory, and a nostalgic look appeared in her eyes.

"Nana, make preparations. We will first take a trip to the Great Tang Empire."

"I have a deep connection with an old friend there."

A smile curved Bibi Dong's lips.

"Come to think of it, it has been many years since I last saw Empress Wu Zetian."

Inside the command tent at Jialing Pass.

Unlike the luxury of Bibi Dong's residence, the furnishings here were simple, yet everything exuded a steady, mountain-like gravity.

Qian Renxue, dressed in a light golden gown, stood quietly beside her father, Qian Yu.

Her golden hair fell smoothly over her shoulders. Her exquisite face, which had inherited the best features of both her parents, now carried a trace of surprise.

Her gaze was likewise fixed upon the dazzling golden ranking on the Heavenly Screen.

"Tang San?"

Qian Renxue softly spoke the name, her voice carrying a complex emotion.

"I never expected the thirteenth place on the Heavenly Screen to be him."
