The Thunder God, who had been silent all this time, noticed something. He suddenly rose to his feet, his voice exploding through the hall like thunder. "My lord! I have something to say."
The moment the Thunder God spoke, the noisy hall fell silent.
After all, everyone knew that the First-Level God, the Thunder God, was his lord's foremost general. He was hot-tempered and utterly loyal: point him at someone, and he would fight them. His strength was terrifying.
He also possessed a half-step Super Divine Artifact: the Thunder God's Hammer.
The Asura God nodded. "Let's hear it."
The Thunder God's gaze swept over the crowd before settling on the corner. "I believe Bibi Dong can serve as the young master's guardian."
The instant his words fell, the hall went utterly silent.
In the corner, Bibi Dong lifted her head, a flicker of surprise in her beautiful eyes.
She had no idea why the Thunder God had suddenly recommended her.
The Asura God raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"My lord, have you forgotten? Bibi Dong nearly inherited the mistress's divine position back then. If there hadn't been a suitable position available, she would have become a First-Level God long ago."
"More importantly, she possesses Divine Slaughter's Domain. That is precisely what will guide young master Doudou onto the right path and turn him from good to evil."
The gods below exchanged thoughtful looks, then nodded one after another.
"The Thunder God has a point."
"Exactly. Divine Slaughter's Domain is one of the essential requirements for inheriting the positions of my lord and the mistress."
"But... she hasn't fought in all these years, and she's still only a Level 99 Limit Douluo," one Second-Level God said with concern.
Another Second-Level God stepped forward to object. "Hey, have you all forgotten? Bibi Dong nearly killed Sea God Tang San back then! With her strength, why would she be unable to protect the young master?"
"Exactly. Twin Martial Souls give a Soul Master an innate advantage in battle. Unless a god gets involved, she'll have hardly any opponents to fear—especially with her understanding of Divine Slaughter's Domain."
Listening to their analysis, the Asura God fell into thought.
After a long while,
he rose and looked toward Bibi Dong in the corner. "Bibi Dong, if you go down to the mortal realm, are you confident you can set Doudou on the right path and turn him toward evil?"
Bibi Dong, whose name had been called, stood frozen in disbelief for a long while.
Only when the goddess beside her nudged her did she finally react.
"I am, Lord Asura God. Please rest assured."
"When I slaughtered the Upper Three Sects on Douluo Continent, I showed no mercy. Once Doudou goes down to the mortal realm, I'm confident I can put him on the right path!"
The Asura God nodded in satisfaction. "Good. In that case, go back and prepare."
Then he added, "Wait. If you complete this mission, I'll give you a great merit. I'll swallow my pride and personally go to Destruction God to ask him to grant you a First-Level God position!"
His words stunned the entire hall, and every gaze instantly converged on Bibi Dong.
Some were envious, some astonished, and others simply stunned...
After all, in the Divine Realm, there was only one spot for every First-Level God position.
Even after leaving Asura Hall, Bibi Dong remained utterly dazed.
For the past ten thousand years, she had thought she would spend the rest of her life languishing in the Divine Realm until the end of time.
But she had never imagined that one day, a huge gift would fall into her lap.
As for the mission to lead Chen Doudou astray and make him evil—
Wasn't that easy?
It was practically tailor-made for her.
Bibi Dong had shaken off her earlier gloom and despondency. Righteous vigor surged in her chest, and the corners of her lips curled into a confident smile.
At that moment, it was as if the peerless empress of the Spirit Hall Empire, who had once looked down on the world, had returned!
Bibi Dong thought, I don't understand why everyone keeps saying that young master Doudou was deceived into wanting to become God of Kindness, as though inheriting the position of Asura God is doomed to bring us disaster.
Ten thousand years ago, I set out from Spirit Hall and began my first northern campaign. Douluo Begonia Leaf was brought under one banner, and my palace and army were welcomed wholeheartedly wherever they went!
I seized every advantage the heavens and earth could offer. How could merely teaching Doudou to become evil stump me, a mere ten thousand years later?
No matter how you look at it, young master Doudou is the son of Asura God and Rakshasa God. Evil is in his very bones. The advantage is mine!
After returning to Angel Temple, Bibi Dong immediately told Qian Renxue and Hu Liena what had happened.
"Wait, Mom, the Asura God really agreed to let you go down to the mortal realm?"
Qian Renxue was so shocked that she cried out.
It wasn't just because of the promise the Asura God had made.
More importantly, the words "go down to the mortal realm" had caught her attention.
During her ten thousand years in the Divine Realm, Qian Renxue had finally learned what it meant to be bored. No wonder so many gods wanted to pass on their divine positions and run off.
What she missed most was her time as a saintess in Spirit Hall.
"Teacher... do you think there's any chance I could go down to the mortal realm with you?" Hu Liena bit her lip and asked timidly.
Bibi Dong shook her head. "Nana, this is the Asura God King's arrangement. There's nothing I can do to help you."
The hope in Hu Liena's eyes slowly faded.
It had been ten thousand years. She only wanted to go down and pay her respects to her brother, Xie Yue.
Qian Renxue couldn't bear to see her like that. She gently patted Hu Liena's hand to comfort her.
But in the next moment,
Hu Liena suddenly dropped to her knees.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue jumped in alarm and hurried to help her up. "Nana, what are you doing?"
Hu Liena bowed her head and struck it hard against the floor. "Teacher, Sister Xue'er, please give me your blessing. I want to give up eternal life and reincarnate!"
"Nana, you're being ridiculous!"
Bibi Dong panicked. Her mind went blank, and in her desperation, she slapped Hu Liena, hoping to knock some sense into her.
"Do you know how fierce the competition is in the mortal realm now? With your talent, if you reincarnate and start over, you might not become a god. You might not even reach the Limit Douluo realm!"
A tear slid from the corner of Hu Liena's eye, and her voice trembled. "Teacher, please forgive your unfilial disciple!"
Over the past ten thousand years, she had long since seen through Tang San's true nature. She had also realized that her brother was the only person in the world who had ever treated her well without asking for anything in return.
The world said eternal life was a blessing.
But what good was eternal life if she had to spend it alone?
She had watched with her own eyes as the brother who had protected and loved her like a father ever since their parents died when they were young grew older, step by step, until he finally turned to a mound of yellow earth.
She hadn't even been able to attend her brother's funeral.
"Even if you leave and never come back, you still want to do this?"
Hu Liena's heart twisted with pain, but she still closed her eyes. "I would forsake eternal life and enter the cycle of rebirth, just to stay by my brother's side."
"Fine! Fine! You've really grown up, Hu Liena, haven't you? Now you won't even listen to your teacher? Believe me, I'll sever our teacher-disciple relationship today!"
Bibi Dong was so furious that her chest heaved violently, and her eyes turned red.
She didn't understand. She had only meant well when she asked her daughter, Qian Renxue, to bring Hu Liena to the Divine Realm.
Why had her relationship with Hu Liena gradually come to this?
Wasn't eternal life a good thing?
Just as the atmosphere had sunk to freezing point,
a cool voice suddenly rang out. "Wait, Mom. I think we can let Nana reincarnate."
Bibi Dong turned around in disbelief.
"Xue'er, even you..."
