Helpers, Trust?

Bi Ji's breath caught in her throat for a moment.

A 90% certainty is almost equivalent to absolute certainty for a human teenager.

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes casting subtle shadows in the moonlight, as if using the vast Life Force she controlled to confirm Lin Xia's breathtaking conclusion.

After a few breaths, she reopened her eyes, her emerald pupils now filled with an Ice Seal resolve. She abruptly turned to Bibi Dong, her gaze intense.

"Your His Holiness the Pope!"

Her voice was no longer gentle, but carried an almost commanding solemnity.

"The situation is far worse than we anticipated! If what Lin Xia said is true, this is no longer a calamity affecting only one race or region, but a catastrophe that will destroy the very foundation of the entire continent!"

"I implore Your His Holiness the Pope and Brother Lin Xia to remain here temporarily. I must immediately delve into the core and awaken my companions! Our strength alone is far from sufficient! We must summon all the guardians we can!"

Bibi Dong's reaction, however, was almost frozen.

She didn't gasp, didn't question, she just stood there, like a cold amethyst statue.

The warm glow of the Courtney danced on her exquisite and dignified face, yet it could not dispel the sudden gloom and solemnity that enveloped her.

Her gaze was like two invisible blades, Infiltrator Bi Ji's eager and sincere face, as if trying to dissect her soul and examine whether a deadly trap lay hidden beneath.

Helper? Companion?

The woman before me Bi Ji, is already an unparalleled powerhouse; her companions must be equally formidable.

Once all these beings emerge and gather here... can she, Bibi Dong, Peak Douluo, along with Lin Xia... truly control the situation in the face of such beings?

Is this a desperate measure taken by Bi Ji to deal with the crisis, or... a meticulously crafted trap to bury the Spirit Hall's future deep within the Star Dou Cave?

Bibi Dong's fingertips, concealed by the wide sleeves of her Pope robe, curled slightly, a barely Frisk wisp of purplish-black Soul Power dangerously swirling between her fingers.

The air seemed to freeze, and the heavy pressure made even the Courtney floating beside her flicker.

Bibi Dong's silence, like a huge block of ice, weighed heavily on Bi Ji and Lin Xia's hearts.

Lin Xia's gaze darted rapidly between her master, who was dignified like a mother but struggling, and the extremely anxious Bi Ji.

He clearly sensed Bibi Dong's deep-seated struggle and fear, the chilling aura stemming from her dark past silently eroding her resolve. He had to break this deadlock!

He took a step forward, his small figure carrying an undeniable aura of determination, standing in the invisible line of confrontation between Bibi Dong and Bi Ji.

His voice was clear and powerful, like a morning bell Infiltrator the mist.

"Master!"

He stared directly into Bibi Dong's deep, yet gloomy, purple eyes.

"I know what you're worried about. Soul Beast and Soul Master have a blood feud that has lasted for millennia, and trust is as fragile as a castle in the air. But right now, the help that Sister Bi Ji is asking for is definitely not to settle old scores!"

He pointed to the land beneath his feet, bathed in moonlight yet eroded by invisible filth, his tone heavy and earnest like never before.

"Look at this forest! It is not only the home of Soul Beast, but also the foundation upon which we Soul Master! If the pollution of the Lake of Life gets out of control, the root system will collapse, the earth's veins will dry up, and the continent's origin will be severely damaged... At that time, Soul Power will decline, all things will wither, mountains and rivers will collapse, and rivers will be poisoned!"

"What is the Spirit Hall? What is the Empire? What are the Soul Master? We will all lose our foothold! This is a catastrophe, regardless of race or strength!"

"Master, this is not just a battle between the Spirit Hall and the Star Dou, it's a battle for the survival of all living beings on the entire continent! We need power, all the power that can be united! Sister Bi Ji's suggestion is the only viable chance of survival right now!"

Bibi Dong's eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly. Lin Xia's words were like a heavy hammer, striking her heart, which was Ice Seal fear and suspicion.

"The survival of all living beings on the entire continent," "Catastrophic disaster," "Losing their foothold"

These weighty words carry far more weight than any personal grudge or racial hatred.

She seemed to see a world devastated, devoid of Soul Power, and devoid of life. The glory of the Spirit Hall had turned to dust, and everything she cherished had vanished into nothingness.

This terrifying scene caused a slight tremor in her nerves, which were taut due to past traumas.

She took a deep, deep breath; the cold, sticky air seemed to carry the slight astringency of the impending decay of the forest.

His gaze, sharp as a knife, swept over Bi Ji's face, which was filled with anxiety and sincerity, one last time, trying to dig out a trace of hypocrisy from the deepest part of those emerald eyes.

However, all she saw was a desperate urgency and purity erupting from the impending collapse of their homeland.

"... good."

A very soft, yet seemingly exhausting, promise finally escaped from Bibi Dong's mouth.

The voice was low and hoarse, lacking the Pope's usual majesty and composure, but carrying a weariness after the dust had settled and a resolute determination to gamble everything.

"Your Excellency Bi Ji"

She looked up, the last trace of doubt deep in her purple eyes Sheer Force suppressed, replaced by a cold, realistic warning.

"I will be waiting here. I hope you... will not betray the weight of these four words, 'our common home.' Go quickly and return quickly!"

"Da na!"

Ivysaur gave a low response, and the Four-Colored Light Wheel on its back suddenly lit up, as if it were warning its master and the survival of this forest.

Bi Ji's tense body instantly relaxed, and the huge Emerald Swan phantom behind her emitted a long, clear cry, full of gratitude and promise.

She said nothing more; any words seemed inadequate at that moment.

She simply nodded solemnly at Bibi Dong, the light in her emerald eyes speaking volumes.

The next second, a dazzling emerald green light shot into the sky, like a shooting star tearing through the night.

Bi Ji's figure completely blurred within it, transforming into a pure stream of life essence. At a speed beyond the limits of the naked eye, it sped towards the Lake of Life, the most core area of Star Dou Forest, a forbidden Forbidden Zone of Life!

The moment the figure disappeared, only ripples of energy, brimming with vibrant life force, remained, slowly spreading and dissipating in the air.

Bi Ji's brilliant green light, representing the origin of life, vanished completely into the deep darkness of the Star Dou Forest, like the last star falling into an Abyss.

The Titled Douluo aura that Bibi Dong had deliberately maintained, as unshakable as a mountain, instantly deflated by more than half, like a bubble that had been popped.

Her straight back relaxed almost imperceptibly, and the outline of her body, illuminated by the moonlight, carried a hint of indescribable weariness.
