"Sorry, sir. It was my dereliction of duty that one of the elders showed you such disrespect."
Then Bibi Dong turned to the attendant beside her and said:
"Notify Demon Bear Douluo to come to the reception room at once. Also, he can stop being an elder."
The attendant nodded and left the reception room.
It wasn't long before someone knocked on the door.
"Your Holiness, it's me, Demon Bear... Douluo."
Demon Bear Douluo hesitated before forcing out the last two words.
He couldn't even begin to imagine it. All he had done was try to capture someone who had infiltrated Spirit Hall.
Yet this person had somehow been treated by Bibi Dong as an honored guest.
And that wasn't all. She had even stripped him of his position as an elder.
It was all because of that Sky Screen that had suddenly appeared.
It had no Soul Power at all. It had merely shown some Land of Light that might have been made up.
And Bibi Dong had actually believed it.
Besides, even if such a world really existed, so what?
It wasn't as if Spirit Hall couldn't beat them.
But Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall, had immediately backed down. Demon Bear Douluo found it hard to accept.
On top of that, Second Worship from the Worship Hall had just criticized Bibi Dong, saying she was far too weak, and that she was afraid of some mere Land of Light despite having become a god.
That had only made Demon Bear Douluo even more indignant.
He had come to voice his objections to Bibi Dong.
Their leader had been bluffed by a brat. How could Spirit Hall show its face after that?
Demon Bear Douluo pushed open the door.
He came to Bibi Dong's side and knelt on one knee.
He was loyal to Bibi Dong, but he couldn't just stand by and watch the Pope get fooled and deceived like this.
"Your Holiness, I—"
Before Demon Bear Douluo could finish, Bibi Dong cut him off.
"Take note: you're no longer an elder of Spirit Hall."
Demon Bear Douluo looked up at Bibi Dong in shock.
He hadn't expected her to be so determined to disown him.
She had even kicked him out of Spirit Hall entirely.
But it was Bibi Dong's decision. All he could do was cast Xiao Che a resentful look.
Then he gritted his teeth and said:
"Yes. But I just don't understand why Your Holiness would believe a greenhorn like him. What if that so-called Sky Screen is just a special Soul Skill, and its contents are all made up?"
Hearing Demon Bear Douluo's guess, Xiao Che felt a flicker of unease.
But it was only a moment. He had already obtained the Ginga Spark.
The lie had become reality.
Besides, how could Bibi Dong possibly believe Demon Bear Douluo?
"Outrageous!"
Bibi Dong roared.
Even she had been startled by Demon Bear Douluo's words.
After all, it would be child's play for Xiao Che to destroy Spirit Hall—or even the whole Douluo Continent.
Cutting Demon Bear Douluo's ties with Spirit Hall completely was best for both sides.
But Demon Bear Douluo couldn't see Xiao Che's true strength at all. He had even questioned the Sky Screen.
"How dare you presume to judge Sir Xiao! From now on, you and Spirit Hall have nothing to do with each other."
The best outcome now was to sacrifice Demon Bear Douluo.
At least it would show the Land of Light Spirit Hall's attitude.
After all, imagine a great nation deciding to protect a little village and sending an envoy. But the villagers captured the envoy and even insulted him.
If the great nation took offense, it could wipe that little village off the map with a casual wave of its hand.
And to the Land of Light, Spirit Hall wasn't even as significant as a little village.
But Demon Bear Douluo had no divine inheritance, so he didn't understand that.
And he still looked thoroughly unconvinced.
"But this man may be connected to the disappearance of the Great Enshrined and the young master. I truly don't understand why someone like him shouldn't be captured and interrogated, but instead treated as an honored guest."
Bibi Dong's face betrayed her barely concealed panic.
She was just about to raise a hand to stop Demon Bear Douluo when an attack struck first.
After a flash of light, Demon Bear Douluo was blasted right out of Spirit Hall.
He fell unconscious on the spot.
The only person capable of knocking out a Titled Douluo of level 95 with a single strike was Qian Renxue, who had inherited the Angel God Position.
Sure enough, Qian Renxue stepped in through the window.
Her long skirt fluttered up and fell, revealing a pair of long, snow-white legs.
"I sincerely apologize for the disrespect shown to you. I'll have this insolent man executed at once."
Qian Renxue belonged to the Worship Hall. Unlike Bibi Dong, she had no intention of going easy on Spirit Hall's elders.
After taking care of everything, Qian Renxue bowed to Xiao Che in apology.
"I'm sorry you had to witness such an unsightly scene. I'm Qian Renxue, Great Enshrined of the Worship Hall."
Then Qian Renxue glanced at Bibi Dong, followed by the reception room's shattered wall.
"Why don't you come to the reception room in our Worship Hall instead, sir?"
Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly.
Qian Renxue was openly trying to steal him away!
But it was true that Demon Bear Douluo had disrespected Xiao Che, and that he had been an elder of Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong had nothing to say.
Even so, she wasn't willing to give up on clinging to Xiao Che.
"I'm going too. Sir Xiao's trouble happened at Spirit Hall. If I don't come along to apologize, Spirit Hall will be a laughingstock."
Xiao Che watched the two women trade remarks, each trying to claim him for herself.
But this drafty reception room really wasn't fit to stay in anymore.
So Xiao Che stood up and walked to the door.
"Enough chatter. Let's go."
Once all three of them had reached the reception room in the Worship Hall, Xiao Che brought up the light screen of the Synchronized Sky Screen.
The image before the two women happened to show the First Generation Ultraman, who had just finished displaying his information.
Then the Sky Screen's image changed, showing a completely different world.
It wasn't the Land of Light, and it didn't look like the Douluo Continent either.
It seemed to be another world entirely.
But since the Inter Galactic Defense Force had already been introduced, everyone guessed that this was the continent or planet the First Generation Ultraman had to protect.
The Sky Screen also revealed the planet's name: Earth.
At the same time, everyone could sense that the humans on the Sky Screen seemed to have no Soul Power at all.
Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, shook his head.
"No wonder the people of the Land of Light have to protect them. Without Soul Power, how are they any different from ordinary people?"
The image on the Sky Screen continued.
[In space, Zetton's fleet of saucers swooped toward Earth]
The Sky Screen also showed how powerful the saucers were.
[Saucer]
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect,
Ning Fengzhi watched the fleet of saucers and shook his head too.
In a world without Martial Souls, even a Soul Douluo could rule the land.
And there were so many saucers, each equivalent to a Soul Douluo.
It seemed this was what the First Generation Ultraman had to fight. But why hadn't he appeared yet?
Gu Rong spoke up.
"Why hasn't this Ultraman shown up yet? I really want to see how powerful an attack that can kill a million-year Soul Beast in one blow is. If he doesn't appear soon, won't all the people of Earth get killed?"
Chen Xin disagreed.
"Don't jump to conclusions. They may not have Martial Souls, but the people of Earth should still be able to make weapons no less powerful than Soul Skills, just like those Hidden Weapons."
Ning Fengzhi nodded.
That was true.
But even if they had weapons like Hidden Weapons, the people of Earth would probably be defeated in an instant against so many fighters with the strength of Soul Douluo.
After all, Hidden Weapons that could be mass-produced and used by most people could only injure a Soul Emperor at best.
They still weren't much use against a Soul Douluo.
