That was right. Everything that had happened in Spirit City had been personally performed by the original body.
As for why the original body had performed it? That had to do with the system. Under the system's powerful tyranny, the two first-rank gods did not dare utter a single word of protest. They could only fully cooperate with the performance.
And the purpose of all this was for what would happen next.
In Spirit City, countless people had witnessed the scene just now: the Azure Dragon with ten Spirit Rings, along with the phantoms of the Angel God and the Rakshasa God. Aside from the conversations about the God Nine Sect, Xiao Feng, Feng Xiao, and the God Realm—which only Bibi Dong had heard—everyone else could hear all the other dialogue.
For example, the Azure Dragon's opening line, "Qilin, you can't escape," and the Angel God's final "telegram."
Many people in Spirit City worshipped the Angel God. Although the believers had seen the Angel God in that state, they did not feel any disgust. Instead, their faith became even stronger.
Because the Angel God truly existed! The god they worshipped was real! Later, the believers named this day the Day of Divine Descent, and every year on this day, they held large-scale offerings.
That was getting off topic. Back to the present.
Qilin looked at Bibi Dong before her, and her gaze was no longer cold.
"Since you are Senior Rakshasa's inheritor, I can entrust Young Master Feng Xiao to you without worry."
Bibi Dong froze as she listened. She did not quite understand Qilin's words and asked doubtfully, "Then why don't you take care of him yourself?"
Qilin shook her head miserably. "I no longer have that chance..."
As she spoke, Qilin staggered again, then spat out another mouthful of blood. Bibi Dong frowned, but she had no idea what to do.
"While I was bringing Young Master Xiao Feng out of the God Realm, we were hunted. My godhead has already shattered, and after forcibly using my power just now, my body has reached its limit."
Seeing Qilin's face full of unwillingness, Bibi Dong asked nervously, "Is there really no way at all?"
Qilin shook her head. "Once a godhead shatters, even a powerhouse like Senior Rakshasa can do nothing. My time is running out. You must remember what I am about to say."
Bibi Dong nodded solemnly. Only after seeing her expression did Qilin speak with satisfaction. "A crisis has emerged in the God Realm, throwing it into chaos. My God Nine Sect was also drawn into it, and Young Master Feng Xiao's parents fell while resisting those dangers."
At this point, Qilin's eyes were filled with sorrow.
"At that time, the God Nine Sect was selecting the next sect master's successor. There were two candidates: Young Master Feng Xiao, and Xiao Feng, the child of Young Master Feng Xiao's father's younger brother. Countless people originally supported Young Master Feng Xiao."
"But because Young Master Feng Xiao's parents fell during the crisis, the situation within the sect changed overnight. Those who had supported Young Master Feng Xiao defected one after another. Young Master Feng Xiao's status instantly fell to rock bottom, while the sect master's term was nearing its end. He could do nothing about it; he had to consider the bigger picture."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong could not help sighing. The God Realm seemed much like the continent, with all these struggles for power. However, Qilin ignored Bibi Dong's sigh and continued speaking.
"After realizing something was wrong, I took Young Master Feng Xiao and fled the God Realm. But Xiao Feng discovered us on the way. To completely secure his position as the sect master's successor, he wanted to kill Feng Xiao. Fortunately, we managed to escape."
"However, we still ran into some trouble along the way, which delayed my arrival in the lower realm. Xiao Feng, determined to completely kill Young Master Feng Xiao, had arrived in the lower realm long before us. The moment we arrived late, we were ambushed."
"You have seen everything that happened afterward. I fled all the way here. Fortunately, I encountered the two seniors, and you are Senior Rakshasa's inheritor. That is why I can entrust Young Master Feng Xiao to you without worry. I hope you will take good care of him. As long as he grows up, there will still be a chance for everything. By then, not only you, but even Senior Rakshasa will receive the full support of the God Nine Sect."
Qilin slowly walked before Bibi Dong. She looked at Feng Xiao in the swaddling cloth and said regretfully, "Young Master, Qilin can only protect you this far. I truly wanted, truly wanted to see the day you took the sect master's seat..."
As her words fell, Qilin's figure began to slowly break apart like dissolving atoms. In the end, she turned into specks of golden light and completely vanished from this world.
Xiao Feng, in the swaddling cloth: Damn it, if I didn't know all this was an act, I almost would have cried.
Bibi Dong, who had personally watched a god fall before her, fell silent.
So gods could die. Even gods could die. Then what about a mortal like her, who was not even a god?
Bibi Dong looked at Feng Xiao in her arms, and her gaze instantly became resolute.
"No. I, Bibi Dong, will become a god—a god no one can defeat!"
Afterward, Bibi Dong took Feng Xiao and vanished from the gates of Spirit City, while everything seemed as though it had never happened.
[Host, how was it? Satisfied with today's performance?]
"Amazing, my dear. The special effects were perfect, and the plot was absurd as hell, but it felt great. Bibi Dong has definitely been fooled completely this time."
In the blink of an eye, seven months had passed.
Inside Pope Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at Feng Xiao before her, who was now the size of a seven-year-old child, and sank into deep doubt about life. "He grew into the appearance of a seven-year-old in just seven months? Even his mind has matured? Are people from the God Realm all this ridiculous?"
Bibi Dong had many doubts. For instance, Feng Xiao was so young, so how had his even younger brother, Xiao Feng, become so determined to kill him? Bibi Dong could neither understand nor figure it out. Yet when she saw Feng Xiao's growth rate, she seemed to understand a little.
"Feng Xiao, Feng Xiao, so you're here!"
The moment Feng Xiao heard the voice coming from the doorway, he could not help shuddering. He swore that he had never imagined Hu Liena would be such a lively girl in private.
"Master, please control your eldest disciple already. My little body can't withstand Little Fox's torment!" Feng Xiao sighed helplessly as he looked at Bibi Dong.
Yet Bibi Dong merely spread her hands, indicating that she could do nothing either. Feng Xiao was utterly helpless. According to his own script, it was not yet time to awaken his Martial Soul, but he had decided to awaken it early!
Feng Xiao was going to turn things around and sing in triumph. He was going to pin Hu Liena to the ground and torment her! Let Hu Liena experience what it felt like to be tormented too.
Thus, Feng Xiao looked at Bibi Dong and said, "Master, I want to awaken my Martial Soul!"
Bibi Dong froze, and even Hu Liena, who had been walking over, froze as well.
"Are you serious? You aren't even one year old yet."
"I am a god's child. Naturally, I cannot be judged by mortal standards!"
