[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: Then I'll get rid of Tang San before he becomes a god!]
[Li Yuan: You did try that in the future, but then the Sea God stepped in to fight for him and crushed you.]
[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: How is that possible? Aren't gods forbidden from interfering in mortal affairs?]
Disbelief filled Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes.
If gods could interfere, why hadn't the Qian Family Ancestors' Angel God done anything when she devoured Qian Xunji?
Qian Xunji was supposed to be Spirit Hall's next High Priest.
Even if he couldn't compare to someone chosen for a God Trial, he was still Qian Daoliu's only child and the only member of the Qian Family who could inherit the position of High Priest. His importance was beyond question.
[Li Yuan: The problem is, the Sea God isn't an ordinary god. He has the Asura God backing him up, and those two are thick as thieves. Why do you think nobody stepped in when the Sea God broke the Divine Realm's rules?]
[Li Yuan: And honestly, that Rakshasa God of yours is a pretty lousy god. She just watched someone else's god crush her chosen successor and didn't dare make a peep!]
[Li Yuan: The Rakshasa God isn't worth trusting. She won't even look after her own successor.]
[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: ...]
Bibi Dong stared at the words on the Screen, a wave of helplessness washing over her.
She was out of ideas.
What was there left to say?
She might as well give up.
The Sea God had descended to fight in person?
Had he no shame? How was anyone supposed to compete with that?
[Little Fox Who Loves Teacher Most: Group Leader Brother, what are we supposed to do? We can't just wait to die, can we? (sobbing emoji)]
Hu Liena was genuinely frightened.
Her parents had died when she was young, and she and her brother had grown up in Spirit Hall.
She felt a deeper sense of belonging to Spirit Hall than most people. It was her home.
But now someone had told her
that no matter what they did, Spirit Hall would be destroyed in the end.
How could she accept that?
[Li Yuan: This runs deep, but there is still a chance to turn things around...]
[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: Then hurry up and tell us! If you do, I'll pardon your earlier disrespect toward me. Once I become a god, I won't make trouble for you either.]
[Li Yuan: Who are you putting on that act for? Try it on them if you want, but try it on me and I'll send you flying.]
Bibi Dong nearly exploded with anger.
She had kindly offered to pardon his past disrespect, and he still dared to give her attitude?
"Li Yuan, I swear!"
"I'll make you taste Secret Chamber Agony in this lifetime!"
Killing intent surged in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes as she made her vow in silence.
Meanwhile,
at the Crown Prince's Mansion,
Qian Renxue read the exchange crackling with hostility in the group and shook her head. "Mother is still too impulsive..."
She knew that if she wanted to draw the crucial way out of Li Yuan, she could not confront him head-on. She needed to humble herself and build a good relationship with him.
Bibi Dong's relentless aggression would do nothing but anger him.
It seemed she would have to find a way to coax the answer out of Li Yuan herself.
"Sigh!"
Life was hard. Little Angel sighed.
[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: Wait! You said that happened in the future! That means Tang San hasn't been chosen by a god yet, right? What if I go and kill him now?]
Bibi Dong's lips curved upward, a cold gleam flashing through her beautiful eyes.
Did he really think she was a fool who would simply sit and wait for death?
If the future held so many uncertainties, she would cut them down at the root!
Kill Tang San now, and Dual Godhood, a child of destiny, all of it would be nothing but bullshit!
The key to turning things around lay in the present!
But before her smile could fully form, Li Yuan's next words shattered it without mercy.
[Li Yuan: Blind Student, you've spotted the key point. (applause)]
[Li Yuan: But have you considered Tang San's father, Tang Hao? He's been protecting Tang San from the shadows all along. The moment you show yourself, he'll take Tang San and run. The Rakshasa God's evil thoughts are suppressing your Soul Power, so you can't fight at full strength. And you can't instantly kill Tang Hao when he uses Ring Detonation.]
[Li Yuan: If you fail to kill him the first time, what happens if he hides for eight or ten years?]
The light that had just appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes went out. Her expression turned grim.
Li Yuan was right. Tang Hao was a madman!
And after using Ring Detonation, his strength was unfathomable.
Even at her peak, killing him would have taken some effort. Now, with the Rakshasa God's evil thoughts eroding her and suppressing her Soul Power...
[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: What if I have Qian Daoliu do it? (pressing on, unwilling to give up)]
[Li Yuan: Qian Daoliu won't do it, because he's an idiot!]
[Child Without Parents: ???]
"What's wrong with this guy?"
"My grandfather hasn't even offended him."
Qian Renxue pursed her lips in resentment.
[Li Yuan: Don't doubt me. Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen made a pact years ago. Qian Daoliu promised Tang Chen that unless he defeated him, he would never set foot on the Clear Sky Sect's mountain for the rest of his life!]
[Li Yuan: That's why I call him an idiot. Later on, Tang San nearly shattered Qian Renxue's Dao Heart several times, and that old man still never thought of stepping in.]
[Child Without Parents: ...]
Qian Renxue sighed. From what she knew of her grandfather,
he really might do something like that just to keep his word.
[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: That's so strange. Why does it feel like everything that could threaten Tang San has been held back?]
[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: It does. It's almost as if someone arranged it all in advance. Normally, if your granddaughter's Dao Heart was on the verge of shattering, you'd step in no matter what, wouldn't you?]
[Ice-Snow Smart: I think there's something wrong with Tang San. Didn't the Group Leader say earlier that Tang San was an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon who crossed over? Then why did he become Tang Hao's son instead of someone else's? And why was he born with Twin Martial Souls? The Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall became enemies years ago. Almost everyone in the Soul Master World knows that.]
[Ice-Snow Smart: Doesn't it feel like a Hero vs. Dragon story? Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall just happened to be cast as the villains.]
[Li Yuan: You're right. Honestly, I seriously suspect that Spirit Hall was caught in a scheme from beginning to end.]
[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: What does that mean?]
[Child Without Parents: ???]
[Everyone: ???]
Everyone in the group was puzzled too.
Someone had schemed against Spirit Hall?
Who had that kind of power?
And who would dare scheme against Spirit Hall, the strongest force on the continent?!
[Li Yuan: First, I need to explain the bad blood between the previous generation of gods whose positions you're inheriting.]
[Li Yuan: The Asura God's previous chosen successor was Tang Chen, but the Rakshasa God tampered with his God Trial and caused him to fall and become the King of Slaughter.]
[Li Yuan: Isn't that a little too absurd? Someone tampered with the succession trial of a mighty God King, and he didn't notice? Is that possible?]
[Li Yuan: Even if we give him every benefit of the doubt and assume the Asura God knew but refused to interfere because he didn't want to break the Divine Realm's rules...]
[That raises another question: if he really was that kind of person, why did he later break the rules to help Tang San?]
