"You Should Give the Rakshasa God a Divine Trial"

Kong Bo had helped Qian Renxue significantly, and since he possessed immense talent in soul mastery, she genuinely wanted to help him ascend to godhood. Having achieved it herself, she possessed a wealth of experience and was sincere in her desire to assist him.

However, the various things Kong Bo did that caused her to "lose her sanity" left Qian Renxue feeling completely unwell. Unable to persuade him, she sought out Electrolux within Kong Bo's mind. "Old Master Eli, you are one of his teachers. Are you not going to do something about this?"

"Do what?" Electrolux stretched lazily. "Isn't it just a child performing a few experiments? If he had left it to This Seat, I would have already assembled an army of undead puppets. Why waste so much time manufacturing these things? This brat Kong Bo is actually interested in the configuration of individual puppets or the human body; I truly don't understand it."

Electrolux was no saint either. In his view, Kong Bo's approach was a massive waste of time. His own philosophy was to kill the Evil Soul Masters and turn them into puppets under his command. That way, if one wanted to replace the Xu family, they could, or they could simply lead an army of puppets north to attack Shrek Academy. Electrolux believed in mass production rather than Kong Bo's method of using Evil Soul Master "Gundams" for academic research.

To put it simply, regarding the recycling of Evil Soul Master Gundams, Electrolux was focused on military and civilian industrial applications, while Kong Bo insisted on high-end academic research. This was the core of their disagreement.

Returning to Qian Renxue, after she entered Kong Bo's mind and witnessed what he had been doing, she no longer wished to help him achieve godhood. Kong Bo's fanaticism and obsession with theoretical research, his unscrupulous and boundless methods, and his disdain for the gods made her extremely uncomfortable. Nevertheless, she still attempted to persuade him.

"Kong Bo, I don't know what the purpose of these... experiments you speak of is. If it is to become a god, I can help you. If you are willing to uphold the creed of the Angel God, I can also help you obtain the Angel God's divine position," Qian Renxue said.

The answer Kong Bo gave left Qian Renxue both shocked and infuriated. Upon hearing her, he replied coldly, "Not interested." As he was currently assembling an Evil Soul Master, his hand holding the scalpel did not stop, as if—

"Not interested... not interested?" Kong Bo's indifferent reply surprised Qian Renxue, followed by an uncontrollable surge of anger. In her eyes, whether she wanted to help him was her own business, but whether Kong Bo looked down upon the inheritance of the Angel God was an entirely different matter. She had offered him the divine position she valued most, yet he didn't even spare it a glance. To her, this was a mockery of the thing she held most dear.

"Kong Bo, do you have any idea what this means?" Qian Renxue shouted at him.

"What does it mean? A Tier 1 divine position that gets taken down by Great God King Tang anyway? You lost yourself; if I followed your teachings, wouldn't I... still lose?" Kong Bo said coldly.

"What do you know!" Qian Renxue's tone turned sharp with annoyance. Because what Kong Bo said was the truth—lies do not hurt, but the truth is a sharp blade. "When the Evil Soul Masters ravaged the Douluo Continent, it was the Angel God who eradicated them. You actually dislike such a faith? Do you prefer to indulge in evil acts?"

"Oh, how holy, how pure," Kong Bo sighed feignedly, though there was no respect in his tone.

Qian Renxue detested this way of speaking. "Kong Bo, if you have something to say, say it. Don't use that sarcastic tone with me. Even now, I will absolutely not allow you to insult my faith. The teachings of the Angel God ancestors can be called the most noble and pure thing on the Douluo Continent!"

"What is the value of something perfectly white?" Kong Bo asked. "Fragile, pale, unchanging, boring, and full of flaws. I think you understand this better than anyone—otherwise, why would Spirit Hall have lost? If it were me, Spirit Hall would never have lost. Perhaps the Upper Three Sects and Shrek Academy would have become my test subjects." As he said this, Kong Bo finally set down his scalpel.

"You, as the Pope of Spirit Hall?" Qian Renxue was so angry she laughed. "Even if my mother was the Rakshasa God, she was forced into darkness; she didn't embrace it voluntarily like you." (Qian Renxue's tone then turned deeply sarcastic.) "Fine, fine. If you had been in Spirit Hall back then, the Rakshasa God would have sought you out instead of my mother. That wouldn't have been so bad."

By this time, Kong Bo had finished stitching together an Evil Soul Master and a soul beast. He sealed the puppet back into a jar and began to clean his workbench. "The Rakshasa God—a woman who only knows how to stir up trouble—what does she know of evil? Evil can be very pure; it can be noble. It is not that I need the approval of the Rakshasa God, but rather..."

"Fine." Qian Renxue was left speechless by Electrolux's words, so she found a pretext to convince herself. "At least Kong Bo is using Evil Soul Masters and those wicked people for his research. So be it."

Qian Renxue was then forced to become a legendary investigator in Ming Capital alongside Kong Bo. The Evil Emperor had taken control of Skaven at the Xishui Underground Soul Fighting Arena, and Skaven began finding ways to write to his superiors in the Xishui Alliance. "Recently, some skilled individuals have arrived at the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, and our Xishui Alliance has suffered heavy casualties. I request that the higher-ups send more members at the Soul Venerable and Soul Ancestor levels. That level will suffice."

Nangong Wan, the leader of the Xishui Alliance, received the letter and replied, acknowledging the request. He noted that there were plenty of Soul Ancestors and Soul Venerables at headquarters and instructed him to wait at a certain location at a specific time to receive them.

When these Evil Soul Masters arrived at the meeting point, Skaven, controlled by the Evil Emperor, led them to a remote area. The Evil Emperor then unleashed a mental shock, and these Soul Ancestors and Soul Venerables became Kong Bo's property. Kong Bo no longer performed stitching experiments; he was now focused on experiments related to physical enhancement agents.

As for the efficacy of the drugs, Kong Bo naturally intended for them to act as quickly as possible, with the side effects being as severe as possible. He planned to use this "Douluo Continent special edition" of enhancement agents to extract money from Shrek Academy.
