The Clash in Heaven Dou Imperial Palace

The capable rise, the mediocre fall.

This is Ye Qingcang's rule.

This is also Qian Renxue's rule.

However, this was not Bibidong's rule.

Thus, a dispute unfolded within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, with each side holding its own version of events.

"After the two kings were defeated, the three emperors surrendered, and the whole world was united."

"From this day forward, the rule of the mainland will be completely in our hands."

"I will never allow anyone to be above the Spirit Hall and the Pope."

"Even if he is Asura God Test Taker, it won't work."

Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, in the main hall.

On both sides of the Heaven Dou Emperor's throne.

Holding a silver Pope's Scepter, wearing the formal attire of the Spirit Hall 'Pope, and exuding the air of a mature woman in her thirties, Bibidong habitually slammed her scepter down, leaving a small dent in the glazed bricks of the hall, continuously amplifying the domineering tone in her voice.

If someone were weak, they would surely be intimidated by such arrogant words and, under the ever-increasing pressure, abandon their principles and choose to give in. Unfortunately, the person on the other side was not only not weak, but even more so, stronger and more stubborn, and refused to yield an inch.

Even without the Pope's Scepter to amplify her presence, Qian Renxue, clad in a golden inner armor, a skirt, and thigh-high boots revealing her white "absolute Domain," still took a step forward and sternly rebuked, "Officially, Blue Tyrant Academy and the Spirit Hall have always been allies. When the Spirit Hall received no goodwill or assistance from any other academies, sects, or empires, only Blue Tyrant Academy treated them equally and cooperated with the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall. In recent years, they have cooperated seamlessly in many Domain, especially in the encirclement and suppression of Evil Spirit Master..." "Regarding Evil Spirit Master and helping young children awaken their Martial Soul, even if promising talents emerge, they all benefit from the Spirit Hall's support policies and join our Spirit Hall academies. Even if some children are not qualified, they can still obtain work-study student slots through our Spirit Hall's channels. This is all well-known... If you intend to attack or suppress Blue Tyrant Academy Blue Tyrant Academy, you are essentially suppressing all Soul Master from academies, sects, and empires throughout the world. The Spirit Hall's millennia-old reputation will be ruined in your hands!"

Immediately, Qian Renxue changed the subject, continuing her rebuttal with clear logic, "Personally, Ye Qingcang and I are friends. He confides in me, and we've shared many things. How could I betray him... Besides, if you can tolerate Yu Xiaogang, what's wrong with me wanting to tolerate him?"

Xue Ke sat on the throne, trembling with fear.

He was very much like Emperor Han Xian of Han, caught between Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao.

Beside them, Hu Liena, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, served as a decorative element.

At the bottom of the steps, Yue Guan and Gui Mei lowered their heads.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xie Yue and Yan, who had somehow slipped to the window and were now climbing out of it with their buttocks sticking out, under Hu Liena's cover.

Holy crap, this place is terrifying!

The current Pope is feuding with his biological daughter!

There was another Saintess standing next to her!

Run!

He ran away without looking back!

If they had any foresight and could have predicted this scene before they came, they wouldn't have followed even if they broke their own legs!

Sometimes, knowing more isn't necessarily better.

Knowing too much can actually lead to death arriving much faster.

They were ultimately just the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, not some Title Douluo. Even if they were, in front of two God Trial Taker were destined to become gods, a Title Douluo who heard something he shouldn't have heard would simply die. There are plenty of three-legged toads, and even more two-legged people; one more wouldn't make a difference.

Snake Lance, Pufferfish: I know these well...

The Snake Lance and the Pufferfish are protected by the Qian Renxue.

Xie Yue still has Hu Liena's protection.

What does Yan have?

Is it because he was Hu Liena's suitor?

Stop kidding, that title will only make his death faster and more reasonable!

Because Hu Liena doesn't like him!

Bibidong Dong, who raised Hu Liena as her own daughter, would never approve of Yan's pursuit. Moreover, Hu Liena is destined to become a god in the future. With Bibidong as her teacher, especially given that Bibidong inherited the Rakshasa God, even if Hu Liena is really a little fox, Bibidong can still arrange a position as God Servant for Hu Liena.

It's a case of "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs benefit."

The day I became famous, even a dog in the village could be assigned to the police dog unit.

Therefore, marrying Hu Liena would be extremely difficult, and the treatment would be exceptionally good; it would probably have to wait until the Divine Realm.

Not to mention that Qian Renxue specifically punctured the lung tubes.

Don't blame Bibidong for her fury.

She is, after all, a mother, the kind who cares about her reputation.

In a moment of lapse in concentration, an instinctive exertion sent the Pope's Scepter hurtling like a missile, blasting a spiderweb-like network of cracks over thirty meters in diameter from its base, which was embedded in the glazed bricks. "Yu Xiaogang is an elder of my Spirit Hall, isn't it normal for me to tolerate him... Who is Ye Qingcang? He's just your friend, and you're the Spirit Hall Saintess. If you were truly friends, he should have considered your predicament and taken the initiative to back down!"

"You must be lonely," Qian Renxue sneered, her tone sarcastic. "In your eyes, friends are nothing more than an excuse to use people to work for you, a title and name that you're entitled to... Don't rush to refute me; from what you just said, it's clear you don't understand the meaning of the word 'friend' at all. A true friend would never ask the other to compromise for them!"

Then, the conversation shifted.

They surprisingly switched from defense to offense.

He suddenly stabbed Bibidong in the back.

It was a brutal attack on his spirit. "However, as your daughter, having inherited some of your genes, I understand your cold-hearted nature very well, because I am the same way... But people change, and I just want to tell you: to harm him is to harm my life!"

"Are you threatening me with your life?" Bibidong had already noticed the negative impact of her momentary lapse in concentration. At least it was an argument, but when the floor tiles shattered like a spiderweb, it gave the impression that she wanted to overturn the table rather than continue the conversation—that was her mistake. But she truly hadn't expected Qian Renxue to so decisively overturn the table back, even more smoothly than she had, and even going so far as to reverse the situation, threatening him with a self-destruction tactic. "I gave birth to you and raised you, and this is how you treat your mother?"

Qian Renxue was so angry that she laughed.

She has now come to realize the gap.

Some people have brains but no ability.

Some people are capable but lack intelligence.

The former Yu Xiaogang, and the latter is like Bibidong.

On the test of acting on emotions, Bibidong would definitely get full marks.

Yu Xiaogang softened his stance and lowered his head.

They genuinely believed that the other person had turned over a new leaf.

The naive and innocent female protagonist in the novel is based on you, right?

The problem is, why can't your brain be as good as your ability?

If all else fails, I can downgrade your abilities to be the same as your brains. That way, no matter how outrageous your suggestions are, with my abilities, I can simply ignore them!

Right now, we can't win by fighting, and we can't persuade them by talking!

It's enough to make your head spin. "Get your thoughts straight before you speak... I admit you gave birth to me, but are you sure you raised me?"

"Both the Snake Lance and the Pufferfish are elders of my Spirit Hall!" Bibidong, at a loss for words, became enraged. "Do you insist on making trouble for me? Can't you even give him a warning, let alone suppress him?"

"The Snake Lance and the Pufferfish are indeed elders of the Spirit Hall, and indeed elders of the Elder's Hall, but you must understand, the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall belongs to everyone, not just to you Spirit Hall, Bibidong, and me Qian Renxue!"

"The Snake Lance and the Pufferfish are not your slaves!"

"They don't even swear allegiance like Yue Guan and Gui Mei!"

"Isn't this a concession you made under the circumstances?"

"Is this what you call supporting me?"

Have you ever given me food or water?

Have you ever bought me clothes?

Have you ever acknowledged my identity?

"Before this?"

Every word Qian Renxue spoke was a double-edged sword, piercing not only Bibidong's heart but also her own. However, this pain did not tear through her taut, pretty face. Compared to Bibidong, Qian Renxue, this daughter, was undoubtedly stronger. "Mother, by blood, I acknowledge you as my mother. Beyond that, I also acknowledge that my father made a grave mistake back then. I understand your pain, so I am willing to stop hating you... but hating you doesn't mean I accept you. Take my junior sister for example. You taught her how to fight step by step, even serving as her sparring partner. You cared whether she ate well and slept soundly. The affection cultivated little by little is what we call family... Now you are forcing me to reprimand Ye Qingcang, just like my father forced you to leave Yu Xiaogang back then. The choice you made back then is the same choice I make now!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei wished they could bury their heads in the ground.

The luxurious glazed tiles now seem so out of place.

However, they were also having their own thoughts.

Decades ago, Spirit Hall Saintess clashed with the Pope of the Spirit Hall over a man; decades later, another Spirit Hall Saintess clashed with the Pope of the Spirit Hall over a man.

how?

Is it stuck in a loop and can't get out?

Especially since this current Saintess is the daughter of the Saintess from back then!

This is not how I, a disciple of this kind, use it!

But this level of force alone wouldn't be enough to terrify Yue Guan and Gui Mei. The real killer move was yet to come. In a topic that Bibidong should never have touched, Bibidong surprisingly took the lead, her tone icy and chilling, challenging Qian Renxue with a single sentence that left Qian Renxue completely bewildered. "So, you're deliberately reminding me to imitate your father, punish you in the same way, and persuade you to change your mind?"

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei cursed inwardly.

Hu Liena's legs also felt a little weak.

Bibidong, the teacher, wouldn't kill her.

However, it's entirely possible to find any excuse to beat her up.

Women are generally more emotional.

When faced with the same problem, the first thing a man needs is a solution, regardless of whether it works or not. He just wants a solution and they'll try it out. The first thing a woman needs is comfort. She can wait for a solution, but she must satisfy her emotional needs.

Hu Liena was also a woman.

Therefore, she was well aware that her teacher was being unreasonable.

And that is indeed the case.

Perhaps in Rakshasa God's mind, she had only adjusted Bibidong's physical sensitivity to automatically revert after the Gods' Conference ended. However, the time flow between the Divine Realm and the Human Realm is 365 times faster.

According to the calculation, the meeting of the Divine Realm will not end for another hour or so.

In the human realm, this would be equivalent to doubling the sensitivity of the 365-hour period.

This sensitivity made the supple Pope uniform feel like being caressed inch by inch against her body. It was as if Bibidong had been in this state for a day and a night, and she would continue in this state for another thirty days, a full thirty days without a moment's rest.

Don't blame Bibidong for turning against Qian Renxue.

The same torment was inflicted on Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue was also unwilling to expend extra effort with others.

But Bibidong is stubborn.

Is the Rakshasa God tormenting me?

Do you want me to bow down and submit to Ye Qingcang?

I won't!

I'll rebel!

It was precisely this rebellious spirit that made the Rakshasa God even more satisfied, since a toy that broke after only a couple of plays was simply not fun to play with.

And this is the absurd Divine Realm.

From the perspective of the Gods, humans are like ants on the roadside. Cruel humans once caught ants and put them in culture containers to observe them. The Gods are merely replicating and imitating this cruel behavior.

Who's being called cruel?

Everyone is quite cruel.

Who is at fault?

Everyone made mistakes.

And this is the absurd reality.

Therefore, it's not that Bibidong to Qian Renxue. Under such repeated torment of exhaustion, it's already remarkable that Bibidong could speak without letting Qian Renxue and the others notice anything wrong. Putting yourself in Qian Renxue's shoes, you'd probably just have to lean on the table and remain silent.

However, when Bibidong's threat reached Qian Renxue's ears, Qian Renxue misinterpreted it, and so did the others.

That's why Qian Renxue suddenly fell silent.

It wasn't fear, but pity and guilt, even though she knew Bibidong didn't need that pity. "I didn't mean to provoke you..."

"I don't want things to get to that point either."

"It's not just me who acts on emotions; you do too."

"Given the current situation, suppressing Ye Qingcang is very necessary."

"Unless he's from the Spirit Hall."

"He has too much power at his disposal."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, most of the academies in the Heaven Dou Circle, the City of Slaughter, and even some people within our Spirit Hall —you know very well that you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Therefore, you should be even more aware of your current situation..."

Bibidong controlled her emotions.

They even suppressed their body's instinctive reactions.

He lowered his voice and spoke to Qian Renxue.

Without interference, Bibidong is a very capable woman; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to fight the Worship Hall so effectively.

She has two flaws.

Firstly: Soft-hearted.

Secondly: complacency.

I'm the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and I'm in charge of the entire continent. Is it any more outrageous for me to indulge myself occasionally, and not even excessively, but simply to forgive my beloved without violating the rules?

I didn't find you a stepfather Qian Renxue!

The suppression is only based on the current situation!

Friends are just friends, they can't be relied on. If you two were a couple, this would be much easier to handle, and I would never have raised this issue. But I asked you several times, and your answer was always "friends," without even adding the word "male" before it. Did I do something wrong?
