Only True Death Brings Complete Release!

Poseidon fell silent.

In the water mirror, Bibi Dong's sobs remained suppressed and anguished. Even across the space between two dimensions, one could feel the torment of a soul being roasted over a fire.

"Let me put this bluntly."

The God of Evil's voice held not a trace of warmth. "If you want to truly change her, to completely untie this dead knot, there is only one way: death."

Poseidon's gaze sharpened. "Death?"

"Yes—and it must be a complete, irreversible, genuine death!"

The God of Evil stressed his words. "Even faking death or hovering on the brink of death won't work."

She'll only retreat further than before, becoming even more twisted, even more insane!"

The God of Evil turned around, no longer watching that meaningless struggle in the water mirror.

"For her as she is now, living one more second in this world is unbearable torment."

"What she truly desires deep down has never been some vague, illusory salvation. It is complete release."

"And there is only one path to that."

"Death."

"Is there really no other way?" The Goddess of Kindness frowned tightly, a trace of pity flashing through her eyes.

"No."

The God of Evil shook his head without hesitation. "That kid has already done everything he could. He exhausted every method and played every trump card. You've all seen the result—it was utterly useless."

"Actually, Nan Feng saw this more clearly than anyone from the very beginning."

The God of Evil gave a cold laugh. "Why did Bibi Dong always keep her distance from Qian Renxue, her biological daughter?
