At that moment, Bibi Dong thought of Tai Yi, someone who had nothing to do with her.
Bibi Dong thought to herself:
If Tai Yi does not interfere with my plan to establish the Spirit Hall Empire, then there will be no problem. After all, Bibi Dong does not wish to make an enemy of someone who may become a god in the future.
But if Tai Yi relies on Qian Daoliu to disrupt my grand plan, then he cannot blame me for what happens.
Seeing Bibi Dong's expression, Rakshasa God's voice rang out once more.
"Bibi Dong, do not lay a hand on Tai Yi. I allowed you to kill Qian Xunji not only because of the grudge between you two, but also because, as a descendant of the Angel God, absorbing his origin would allow you to inherit the Divine Position more effectively. Most importantly, the Angel God in the God Realm had fallen, so no one in the God Realm could support the Qian Clan anymore."
"But Tai Yi is different. I am a First-Level God. Aside from the five law-enforcing God Kings, I stand among the foremost gods in the God Realm. I do not know whose Divine Position Tai Yi inherited, but I can sense his aura. The Divine Position he inherited is stronger than mine, and it may very well belong to one of the law enforcers. They have not fallen like the Angel God, and they are exceedingly protective of their own. So if you attack him, I cannot guarantee whether those law-enforcing gods have left behind any contingencies."
"More importantly, even if you successfully eliminate Tai Yi, the gods of our God Realm have remained there for tens of thousands of years. All of us wish to leave the God Realm. If you kill the qualified successor they waited so long to find, your life in the God Realm will not be easy either."
Bibi Dong was shocked upon hearing this. She had not expected Rakshasa God to tell her so much about the God Realm today.
She had been even less prepared to learn that the Divine Position Tai Yi inherited was stronger than Rakshasa God's, so strong that Rakshasa God had specifically warned her not to attack him.
Bibi Dong then said to Rakshasa God:
"As long as he does not affect my plans, I will not act against him. Besides, he is probably being guarded closely by those old men of Worship Hall right now. How could I possibly attack him?"
Upon hearing this, Rakshasa God said:
"Very well, I have told you what needed to be said, so I will be leaving. Focus on your God Trial. Qian Renxue and Tai Yi are both from Spirit Hall. Build a good relationship with them, and you will have allies when you reach the God Realm in the future. The God Realm is not peaceful either."
After saying that, Rakshasa God's divine consciousness vanished from Bibi Dong's mind.
Rakshasa God had said this because he knew he could never deal with his enemy, the Asura God. He was no match for him. Thus, after seeing that Tai Yi had inherited a law-enforcing god's Divine Position, he wanted Bibi Dong to build a good relationship with him. Then, he could have Bibi Dong join forces with Qian Renxue and Tai Yi against the Asura God.
After hearing Rakshasa God's final words before leaving, Bibi Dong fell silent. Build a good relationship with Qian Renxue and Tai Yi?
How could that be possible? Besides wanting to unify Douluo Continent and establish the Spirit Hall Empire, she wanted even more to destroy the Qian Clan, the family that disgusted her, including Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue.
And Tai Yi clearly stood on Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue's side. How could they ever stand together?
Bibi Dong then drifted into unknown thoughts.
A year and two months passed just like that. During that time, under the devoted instruction of the old men of Worship Hall, along with the trait of Tai Yi's Martial Soul that allowed his Soul Power to grow while he bathed in sunlight, seven-year-old Tai Yi became a level-thirty Soul Elder.
After his Soul Power broke through, Tai Yi immediately went to Worship Hall to find Qian Daoliu.
"Grandpa, my Soul Power has reached level thirty."
Qian Daoliu smiled when he heard that.
"Good, Xiao Yi. You have not disappointed Grandpa."
Qian Daoliu continued:
"Then go back and wait for a while, Xiao Yi. I will send someone to the Spirit Beast Forest to capture a Soul Beast suitable for your third Spirit Ring."
Tai Yi quickly shook his head and said:
"Grandpa, there is no need to send someone to the Spirit Beast Forest to capture a Soul Beast for me. I want to go to Sunset Forest in the Heaven Dou Empire to hunt for my third Spirit Ring."
"Why go so far and hunt your third Spirit Ring yourself?"
Qian Daoliu asked.
Tai Yi replied:
"A year ago, I promised Xue'er that I would visit her in the Heaven Dou Empire when I had time. So I want to hunt for my Spirit Ring there and visit Xue'er. More importantly, Grandpa, you know that I am an inheritor of a Divine Position. The god just told me that an opportunity awaits me in Sunset Forest, which is why I want to go."
In truth, the God of Destruction had never told Tai Yi that an opportunity awaited him in Sunset Forest. He truly wanted to see Qian Renxue.
More importantly, Tai Yi had thought of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well within Sunset Forest. With so many Immortal Herbs there, he intended to claim them all for himself. Since he already bore the mark of Spirit Hall, he could not possibly leave those Immortal Herbs for Spirit Hall's enemy, Tang San.
After hearing Tai Yi's words, Qian Daoliu asked:
"Did a god truly tell you that an opportunity awaits you in Sunset Forest?"
"Of course. Would I lie to you, Grandpa?"
Seeing Tai Yi's expression, Qian Daoliu smiled and said:
"Fine. Ever since I brought you back to Spirit Hall as a baby, you have never left Spirit Hall. Besides, you truly have not seen Xue'er for quite some time. I will take you to see Xue'er and help you seek out your opportunity."
Seeing that Qian Daoliu had agreed, Tai Yi asked:
"Then when do we leave, Grandpa?"
"You are in such a hurry, Xiao Yi?"
Tai Yi said:
"We need one more person for this trip to Sunset Forest, so I wanted Grandpa to call him along."
Upon hearing that, Qian Daoliu asked:
"Who do you need?"
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan."
Qian Daoliu did not hesitate in the slightest after hearing Tai Yi's words.
"Very well. I will have someone notify Yue Guan. We will depart early tomorrow morning for Heaven Dou City and Sunset Forest."
Tai Yi replied:
"Understood, Grandpa."
"Then I will not disturb you any longer."
After saying that, Tai Yi left Worship Hall and returned to his own palace, where he waited for the next day to arrive.
Not long afterward, a knock sounded at Yue Guan's residence. A guard said to Yue Guan:
"Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, the Grand Pontiff asked me to notify you that you are to wait at Worship Hall early tomorrow morning. He has business with you."
After saying that, the man left without caring whether Yue Guan agreed.
Yue Guan paused upon hearing this, wondering what the Grand Pontiff wanted with him.
However, since it was Qian Daoliu's order, and he himself had been considering joining the Worship Hall faction, Yue Guan prepared to go and see what it was about early the next morning.
