The silent Thunder God noticed something and suddenly stood up, his voice exploding through the hall like a thunderclap: "Lord! I have something to say."

As the Thunder God spoke, the previously noisy hall fell into instant silence.

After all, everyone knew that the first-tier god, the Thunder God, was the Lord's premier warrior; he was short-tempered, fiercely loyal, obedient to every order, and terrifyingly powerful.

He even possessed a semi-super artifact, the Thunder God's Hammer.

Asura God nodded: "Speak."

The Thunder God swept his gaze across the room, finally letting it rest in a corner: "I believe Bibi Dong is qualified to serve as the Young Master's guardian."

When these words fell, the entire hall was deathly silent.

Bibi Dong, sitting in the corner, raised her head, a flash of astonishment crossing her beautiful eyes.

She did not know why the Thunder God would suddenly nominate her.

Asura God raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

"Lord, have you forgotten? Bibi Dong nearly inherited the Mother Goddess's divine position years ago; had there not been a lack of a suitable divine position, she would have become a first-tier god long ago."

"More importantly, she possesses the Slaughter God's Domain, which is the key to guiding Young Master Chen Doudou onto the right path and correcting his deviance."

The gods below, upon hearing this, looked thoughtful and began to nod one after another.

"The Thunder God makes sense."

"Indeed, the Slaughter God's Domain is one of the essential requirements for inheriting the divine positions of the Lord and the Mother Goddess."

"But... she hasn't fought in so many years, and she is currently only a Level 99 Limit Douluo," a second-tier god expressed concern.

Another second-tier god stepped forward to refute: "Hey, have you forgotten? Bibi Dong once nearly killed the Sea God Tang San! With her strength, are you afraid she cannot protect the Young Master?"

"Exactly, Twin Martial Souls naturally hold an advantage in spirit master combat; as long as divine beings do not intervene, she has almost no rivals, not to mention her mastery of the Slaughter God's Domain."

Listening to the analysis of the crowd, Asura God felt a sense of contemplation.

After a long while.

He stood up and looked toward Bibi Dong in the corner: "Bibi Dong, if you are sent to the lower realm, are you confident you can correct Chen Doudou and turn him away from evil?"

Bibi Dong, having been named, stood frozen in disbelief for a long time.

It was only when the goddess beside her nudged her that she finally reacted.

"I am, please rest assured, Lord Asura God."

"Back when I slaughtered the Upper Three Sects on the Douluo Continent, I showed no mercy; as long as Chen Doudou goes to the lower realm, I am confident I can bring him onto the right path!"

Asura God nodded with satisfaction: "Good. In that case, go back and prepare."

Following this, he added: "Wait, if you can complete this mission, I will record a great merit for you. I will cast aside this old face of mine and personally go to find Destruction God to beg for a first-tier divine position for you!"

Once these words were spoken, the whole hall was shocked, and various gazes instantly converged on Bibi Dong.

There was envy, surprise, and astonishment...

After all, first-tier divine positions were a scarce commodity in the God Realm, where every seat was already occupied.

Until she walked out of the Asura Hall, Bibi Dong remained in a state of extreme bewilderment.

For the past ten thousand years, she had assumed she would simply waste away in the God Realm until the end of time.

She never expected that a massive gift would fall into her lap one day.

As for the task of corrupting Chen Doudou and making him evil?

Wasn't that simple?

One could say it was perfectly aligned with her professional expertise.

At this moment, Bibi Dong swept away her previous despondency and melancholy, a sense of righteous spirit surging within her chest, and a confident arc forming at the corners of her mouth.

In this moment, it was as if the peerless, world-dominating Empress of the Spirit Hall Empire had returned!

Bibi Dong thought: I don't understand why everyone is talking about Young Master Chen Doudou being deceived into wanting to become the God of Kindness, as if the inheritance of this Asura divine position is destined to be fraught with danger for us.

Ten thousand years ago, I embarked on a journey from the Martial Soul Hall and began the first Northern Expedition; the Douluo Begonia Leaf was unified, and wherever my hall and army went, the people welcomed us with sincerity!

It could truly be said that I had the mandate of heaven; could it be that after only ten thousand years, the mere task of teaching Chen Doudou to become evil could stump me?

No matter how you look at it, Young Master Chen Doudou is the son of the Asura God and the Rakshasa God, and he possesses an evil nature in his very bones—the advantage is mine!

After returning to the Angel Temple, Bibi Dong immediately informed Qian Renxue and Hu Liena of the matter.

"Wait, Mother, did the Asura God really agree to let you go to the lower realm?"

Qian Renxue was greatly shocked upon hearing this, exclaiming in disbelief.

It was not just because of the promise made by the Asura God.

More importantly, the keyword "lower realm" captivated her.

In the ten thousand years she had spent in the God Realm, Qian Renxue had finally experienced what it meant to be bored; no wonder so many gods wanted to pass on their divine positions and run away.

What she missed most was the time she spent as the Saintess in the Martial Soul Hall.

"Teacher... do you think I might have a chance to descend to the mortal realm as well?" Hu Liena bit her lip, her voice timid.

Bibi Dong shook her head. "Nana, this is the arrangement of the Asura God King. I have no way to help you."

The expectation in Hu Liena's eyes slowly faded into emptiness.

Ten thousand years had passed; she only wanted to go down and pay her respects to her brother, Xie Yue.

Qian Renxue felt a pang of sympathy and comforted her by gently stroking her hand.

However, the very next second.

Hu Liena dropped to her knees with a heavy thud.

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were startled and rushed to help her up. "Nana, what are you doing?"

Hu Liena pressed her forehead firmly against the floor in a heavy kowtow. "I beg Teacher and Sister Xue'er for your approval. I want to relinquish my immortality and reincarnate to cultivate once more!"

"Nana, you are being ridiculous!"

Bibi Dong was instantly flustered, her mind going blank. In her anxiety, she slapped her across the face, hoping to snap her out of it.

"Do you have any idea how fierce the competition is in the mortal realm now? With your talent, if you reincarnate, let alone becoming a god, it's not even certain you could reach the realm of a Limit Douluo!"

A single tear slid from the corner of Hu Liena's eye, her voice trembling. "Teacher, please forgive this disciple for being unfilial!"

After ten thousand years, she had long since seen through the true face of Tang San and recognized that only her brother had treated her well without condition.

The world says that immortality is a blessing.

But what if immortality means being all alone?

She had watched with her own eyes as the brother who had protected her, loved her, and cherished her like a father after their parents passed away grew old step by step, eventually turning into a handful of Kitsuchi.

She hadn't even been able to attend her brother's funeral.

"Even if you never return, you are still determined to do this?"

Hu Liena's heart felt as if it were being twisted by a blade, yet she closed her eyes. "I am willing to abandon immortality and enter the cycle of reincarnation, if only to remain by my brother's side."

"Fine! Very well! You've really grown some backbone, haven't you, Hu Liena? You won't even listen to your teacher now? Do you believe I will sever our master-disciple relationship today!"

Bibi Dong's chest heaved violently with rage, her eye sockets turning red.

She did not understand. It was clearly her own good intentions that led her to have her daughter, Qian Renxue, bring Hu Liena up to the God Realm.

Why had her relationship with Hu Liena gradually reached this point?

Is immortality not good?

Just as the atmosphere hit a freezing point.

A cold, crisp voice suddenly rang out: "Wait, Mother. I think we should let Nana reincarnate."

Bibi Dong turned her head in disbelief.

"Xue'er, how could even you..."
