[Face-Tanking Ultimate: In my dream, I saw that this disciple Yu Xiaogang pours everything into cultivating will not only become the Sea God, but will even inherit the legendary, supreme position of the Asura God King.]
[Most Beautiful Pope: A Tier-1 God, the Sea God? The Asura God King?]
The sheer volume of information was overwhelming; even Bibi Dong could not help but be shocked.
She understood exactly what a God King signified.
She was the successor to the Rakshasa God, and the Rakshasa God was merely a Tier-1 God. Yet, this person was actually a dual-god successor!
[Face-Tanking Ultimate: Yes. Not only will he obtain the power of the Sea God, but he will ultimately wield the Asura divine authority over judgment and slaughter.]
[Face-Tanking Ultimate: In the fated endgame, he will use the Asura God Sword to shatter your Rakshasa Godhead.]
[Face-Tanking Ultimate: You will fall by his blade. The Spirit Empire you have forged will crumble along with you.]
[Face-Tanking Ultimate: And that is not all. In the end, even your daughter, Qian Renxue, who inherits the Angel God Position, will have her godhead shattered by his own hands, ending her lineage forever.]
The air inside the hall grew colder, and frost covered Bibi Dong's face.
Judging by Ye Qiong's previous ability to accurately expose her past, the information he provided was unlikely to contain much falsehood.
In other words, her future—and the future of her daughter—would be destroyed by this person named Tang San.
[Most Beautiful Pope: So, the Yu Xiaogang of the future will cultivate... an ultimate weapon capable of slaying gods, destroying empires, and severing everything I hold dear?]
[Face-Tanking Ultimate: You could put it that way. Tang San's existence is the ultimate manifestation of Yu Xiaogang's theoretical ambition and personal obsession; he is the "fruit" gathered from countless causes.]
[Face-Tanking Ultimate: He may not be targeting you personally, but the path he walks is destined to be completely at odds with the hegemony of your Spirit Hall. It is irreconcilable. His existence is your greatest obstacle in the future.]
[Most Beautiful Pope: The Asura God King, very well. Then, where is this youth destined to become my "calamity" now?]
[Face-Tanking Ultimate: He should be at Shrek Academy.]
After his previous chats with Xiao Wu, Ye Qiong already knew the current timeline.
[Most Beautiful Pope: ...This Seat understands. Your "dream" has provided me with sufficiently clear information. That is all for today.]
[Face-Tanking Ultimate: Fine.]
The private chat ended.
Inside the main hall of the Pope, the atmosphere was grim.
Bibi Dong rose slowly, her eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.
"Gui Mei, Yue Guan."
Two figures appeared silently in the hall, kneeling on one knee.
"Your subordinates are here!"
"Go to Soto City and investigate a person named Tang San. I want all information on him."
Bibi Dong's voice was as cold as ice.
"As you command!"
The two figures vanished in an instant.
A profound, unfathomable light flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes. Such a future was absolutely not what she wanted.
Since the trajectory of fate was now known, she would do everything in her power to stop it!
For the next few days, Liu Erlong remained offline, whether she had been angered into leaving or was simply digesting the explosive revelations.
Ye Qiong did not intend to disturb her; instead, he changed his group nickname.
Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero—this nickname was quite good and fit his temperament perfectly.
As for "Face-Tanking Ultimate," the nickname he had used throughout the Honkai Star Rail World, he would seal it away for now.
Other group members noticed Ye Qiong had changed his name and jumped out to express their desire to do the same, but Ye Qiong refused them directly.
There was no other reason; the permission was restricted. As the Group Owner, he was currently the only one who could change his own name.
The atmosphere in the group returned to a state of relative calm.
That day, Xiao Wu and Tang San finally arrived in Soto City. Looking at the bustling city before her, Xiao Wu immediately opened the group chat, took a photo of the city gate, and uploaded it.
[First Cute Bunny: [Image: Soto City Gate] I've arrived in Soto City!]
[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: What a coincidence? I'm in Soto City too! [Image: Street view from the window of the Rose Hotel in Soto City]]
[No Petting Cats: I am here as well.]
The two responses left Xiao Wu both surprised and delighted.
[First Cute Bunny: Really? Can we meet up? An offline meetup for internet friends!]
[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: Sure, sure! I'm at the largest Rose Hotel in Soto City. Come find me!]
[No Petting Cats: Agreed.]
[First Cute Bunny: That's great! I'll be there this afternoon. I'll let you know when I arrive!]
The three girls excitedly agreed on a meeting place.
Watching their chat history, Ye Qiong popped up at the right moment.
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Oh? Meeting up in person so soon?]
He had just sent the message when a familiar avatar suddenly lit up.
[Ding! "Fire-Breathing Dragon" has initiated a private chat with you.]
Liu Erlong, who had been offline for several days, had finally appeared.
Ye Qiong sat by the seaside fishing, looking at the pink fluffball sleeping soundly on his shoulder, then glanced at the private chat request on the screen, the corners of his mouth curling upward slightly.
The person he had been waiting for these past few days had finally arrived.
[Fire-Breathing Dragon: Hey, you foul-mouthed Group Owner! Get out here right now! Who gave you the nerve to dig up that mess between him and me, and then talk about it in such an ugly way?!]
As expected, Liu Erlong's opening was filled with gunpowder, just like her nickname.
But Ye Qiong could detect a hint of weakness beneath the anger.
It seemed she hadn't come to hold him accountable, but to seek a final verdict.
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Dean Liu, please calm down first. Getting this angry is bad for your health.]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: I admit I spoke harshly, but I wasn't making things up. Those things between you, and the thoughts you had at the time, are like they're branded into my mind. I keep "dreaming" about them.]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Every time I dream about it, I feel stifled, especially when I dream about Yu Xiaogang's intentions. It was shameless to the extreme! If I didn't let it out, I really couldn't bear it!]
Ye Qiong typed unhurriedly, pushing everything onto the ethereal excuse of "dreams."
This line of reasoning worked well on Bibi Dong, and it worked just as well on the current Liu Erlong.
[Fire-Breathing Dragon: Bullshit! What could you possibly dream about? How could you understand his thoughts?!]
Liu Erlong's reaction became more intense, but this only exposed the wavering in her heart.
Ye Qiong decided to administer the final, potent dose.
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: I dreamt of the calculations in his bones! When the truth came out back then, his mind went "boom," and his immediate reaction wasn't heartache for you. Instead, he feigned fear and began a series of cold-blooded calculations.]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: He was thinking: "It's over. Cousins... this is incest! If this gets out, I, Yu Xiaogang, am completely ruined! My reputation, my standing as a theorist in the spirit master world, will become a joke to the entire world! My research, my ambitions—everything will be nailed to a pillar of shame because of this!"]
On the other side of the screen, inside Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong's breathing suddenly grew heavy.
These words chilled her to the bone.
[Fire-Breathing Dragon: ...]
She wanted to refute him, but she couldn't get a single word out.
Ye Qiong did not give her a chance to catch her breath.
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: And that's not all. I even heard a pathetic sense of relief flash through his mind at that moment. "Luckily, we weren't truly married yet. Luckily, it was discovered 'early.' I still have a way out, I can still walk away 'clean.'"]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: To him, protecting his own pitiful pride and future was ten thousand times more important than your pain or the feelings between you.]
[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: His first reaction was always self-preservation and weighing the pros and cons. Feelings? When they clashed with his fundamental interests, they were the first thing he would discard.]
[Fire-Breathing Dragon: Enough, stop talking.]
Liu Erlong sent these words, filled with exhaustion.
Ye Qiong stopped his output; he knew the dam had already burst.
Next was time for Liu Erlong to engage in self-reflection.
Sure enough, not long after, Liu Erlong sent another message, but the content took Ye Qiong by surprise.
