The Phoenix King's Shock

"What?!... Bibi Dong, that Saintess of Spirit Hall, has been expelled from Spirit Hall?!"

After hearing this news, Phoenix King simply could not believe it. This development was completely different from what he originally knew. It seemed that his intrusion as a butterfly had indeed caused this world to change.

The fact that he and Medicine Elder—two people from different worlds—had broken into the Douluo Continent had thoroughly triggered the butterfly effect. According to the original plot, even if Bibi Dong had killed the Pope, Qian Xunji—her teacher—

And even though he was the only son of Qian Daoliu, Qian Daoliu still hadn't done anything to this "daughter-in-law" who killed his son. He had still allowed Bibi Dong, that ungrateful wretch, to remain the Saintess and even become the Pope.

The main thing was that the situation was different now.

Spirit Hall had even exposed the fact that Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang were involved with each other.

At this moment, Phoenix King was completely shocked. He couldn't believe his ears and suspected that what he heard was fake.

(I remember that Spirit Hall didn't spread this matter around. In the original work, I recall that Spirit Hall felt it was a disgrace and feared that exposing it would damage their reputation, so they kept it quiet.)

(Later, when everyone on the continent found out, it was because Bibi Dong was about to die. By that time, Yu Xiaogang was already a respected Master of Gods, and no one dared to say anything about him. But now, Yu Xiaogang is still a piece of trash, and he peeked at Spirit Hall's classified information. Isn't Spirit Hall afraid of ruining their reputation by having their Saintess get involved with a piece of trash?)

(At the very least, they shouldn't have said it now. They should have waited for the right moment, ensuring it wouldn't affect Spirit Hall's future plans before revealing it.)

(And! If Spirit Hall were to first reveal that important information could be viewed at will by a piece of trash, and then expose that the Saintess was in love with a piece of trash—)

(These things are all slaps to the face of Spirit Hall, aren't they?)

(These changes are just too massive!)

While Phoenix King was pondering these matters, on the other side, the Soul Beast faction was considering whether or not to take this opportunity to reclaim some territory that humans had seized from them.

"Di Tian, I think Spirit Hall must be in a bit of internal chaos right now. Should we take this opportunity to reclaim some territory? In the past, when humans were slowly growing stronger, you didn't stop them from knocking on our doors. Now that there is internal strife among the humans, you should at least allow us to seize some human territory to make up for our losses," Xiong Jun said at this moment.

"I don't think now is the time. Although there is chaos within Spirit Hall, the problem is that their overall strength has not been affected in the slightest. It is nothing more than an ungrateful Saintess being kicked out. Even if there is internal turmoil, their combat power remains completely intact."

"Furthermore, they might just be purging internal issues. If we were to rashly launch an attack on humans at this time, it would cause huge trouble."

"Although we are all cultivating Dou Qi now and are already much stronger than Soul Power, the problem is that those guys in the God Realm are watching from above."

"..." After hearing Di Tian say this, Xiong Jun was very unhappy, but he understood that what Di Tian said made a lot of sense, and he couldn't refute it.

"The focus of what we need to do now is to improve our overall combat power. There is still a large gap between our overall combat power and that of the humans," Gu Yuena said at this moment.

"Moreover, if the God Realm sees us starting to slaughter humans, they will definitely take action against us. We lack sufficient god-level combat power and cannot confront the God Realm."

"Medicine Elder has not yet recovered to his peak, and although I have started to improve, I have not fully recovered. The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings are still in a state of remnant souls."

"So, in our current condition, it is impossible to confront the God Realm. We can only wait. Only when we have fully developed and possess sufficient strength can we overthrow the God Realm."

"Otherwise, once the God Realm discovers that we have the ability to resist, everything we have will be destroyed."

What Gu Yuena said was indeed very reasonable. If the God Realm were to discover the existence of Medicine Elder, they would absolutely never allow an existence capable of breaking their rule to remain.

At that time, they would only face extinction. As for what happens to Douluo Planet? The God Realm probably doesn't care at all. Even if the humans of Douluo Planet had no way to cultivate Martial Souls, the God Realm wouldn't care.

If the God Realm truly cared about the humans of the lower realm, it would be impossible for them to allow the humans of Douluo Planet to use such a distorted cultivation system as Martial Souls.

Clearly, in the eyes of the God Realm, the humans of Douluo Planet are nothing more than pawns.

A pawn used to slowly weaken the Soul Beasts and then, when the time is right, completely wipe them out—a white glove that keeps their own hands clean.

While Gu Yuena's side was discussing major Soul Beast affairs, Medicine Elder was not very interested. After all, his current focus was on cultivating Phoenix King.

"It seems one must pay attention to character when taking on an apprentice. It's fortunate that the apprentice I took is you. If it were a piece of trash like Bibi Dong—an ungrateful wretch who likes losers and lets others see important information—I would go insane if a second one appeared."

Medicine Elder recalled his rebellious disciple and felt particularly angry. Fortunately, his current disciple, Phoenix King, was obedient, and there were helpers assisting him, so he wouldn't collapse.

Just imagine, if Phoenix King had a personality like Bibi Dong's, there would be no need to talk about the consequences; Medicine Elder could just ask to commit suicide and return to the heavens.

"Teacher, I will be very obedient. I won't do those kinds of things. But honestly, I don't understand. Spirit Hall has a massive foundation. Although it's not as powerful as the Dou Qi Continent, it is still a local hegemon on the Douluo Continent. Spirit Hall is, after all, the overlord of the Douluo Continent; even the two great empires dare not offend them."

"Why couldn't the Pope choose an apprentice with excellent character? Why did she have to take in an ungrateful wretch? And to not discover it for so many years until just recently—that is absurd."

Phoenix King saying this was actually a way to vent his frustration. When he watched Douluo Continent in the past, the people of Douluo were, at the very least, people of a fantasy world who practiced cultivation.

In ancient dynasties, when emperors chose crown princesses for their heirs, they had their own set of judgments, and those judgments were usually quite accurate.

The powerhouses of Spirit Hall on the Douluo Continent were, at the very least, old foxes. Could they really not tell what kind of person Bibi Dong was?

Especially those Title Douluo elders of Spirit Hall; they had basically lived for a hundred years. Were they really inferior to the ancient emperors of Phoenix King's original world, who didn't even live to be a hundred?

This gap is just too large. Could it be that they really couldn't see that Bibi Dong was an ungrateful wretch?
