Ning Yao did not offer much commentary regarding Yu Xiaogang. After a nod, he led Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo into the interior of the Pope Hall.

Back inside the Pope Hall, there were no further troubles to contend with.

Until he retired for the night, no one came to disturb Ning Yao's peace.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood guard in close proximity; although Ning Yao had already instructed them that they could leave, they still hid in the shadows not far from him.

Ning Yao was naturally aware of this, but he could not be bothered to point it out.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

An unfamiliar mental force silently bypassed Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo in the dead of night, arriving at Ning Yao's side.

In an instant, the sleeping Ning Yao opened his eyes.

"Hmm?"

With a slight shift of his intent, he easily shattered that inexplicable mental force.

At the same time, he perceived the unusual nature of this power.

This power was exceptionally strong.

Although it was still nothing to fear for him, it was far more powerful than Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

It did not belong to this continent, but came from the higher plane above the Douluo Continent.

"Someone from the God Realm?"

Ning Yao frowned, raising his head to glance at the ceiling of the room.

His gaze pierced through layers of barriers, reaching straight into the firmament.

In a mere instant, he locked onto his target, confirming that the thing which had just disturbed his peace indeed came from the God Realm.

At first, he was somewhat puzzled as to why the God Realm would inexplicably take notice of him, a person who had not done anything of great significance.

But now he understood.

Because at the source of that origin point in the God Realm, he sensed a very evil power.

Rakshasa God.

The name surfaced automatically in Ning Yao's mind.

Then everything made sense.

It seemed Bibi Dong had made a move, and the Rakshasa God had taken notice.

Presumably, the god had sensed that her successor wanted to break free from her control, and after finding she could no longer influence Bibi Dong, she had investigated and cast her mental force upon him.

However, didn't he remember a rule in the God Realm that gods were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the lower realms without authorization?

If it had been a native of the Douluo Continent just now, even a Title Douluo would likely have been finished.

Ning Yao could not help but shake his head; it seemed there were truly more people who broke the law while knowing it than just Asura.

These fake gods—there really weren't many good ones among them.

Ning Yao sat up and remained on the edge of the bed for a good while, but nothing else happened.

He raised an eyebrow and lifted his right hand.

"You disturbed me, and now you want to leave so brazenly? That's not very polite, is it?"

He murmured a few words softly. As he spoke, he rested his thumb against the tip of his middle finger and flicked it gently.

A point of shimmering green light was flicked out from his fingertip. In an instant, it traversed layers of architecture and space, silently breaking through the barrier between the two planes and arriving above the God Realm.

Meanwhile, inside the Rakshasa Temple.

A woman dressed in revealing purple gauze, with a large expanse of skin exposed, sat upon the throne in the center of the temple.

Her expression was languid as she thoughtfully watched a purple crystal ball in her hand.

A repeating scene was playing on it in a continuous loop.

On the screen was the final feedback her mental force had sent back before it dissipated.

In the image was a handsome man fast asleep.

He looked like nothing more than an extraordinary-looking ordinary human.

But the moment her mental force tried to move forward to investigate, it was suddenly erased the instant it flew toward Ning Yao.

Not a trace could be found; the Rakshasa God had almost thought her little maneuver had been discovered by one of the God Kings.

It had frightened her for quite a while, but even now, no God King had come knocking.

"Could it be that something went wrong on my end?"

She frowned, muttering to herself.

But just as she prepared to release even stronger divine power to probe the lower realm again to see what had just happened, her expression suddenly stiffened.

The languid look on her face vanished, replaced by a flash of shock and terror.

Just a moment ago, the instant she looked up, she saw a speck of green light.

A green dot of light, under her gaze, pierced through space, bypassed all the defensive programs of her temple, and flew straight toward her.

Even though there was clearly nothing in front of her according to her senses, her naked eye saw it clearly.

Before she could react further, the green dot of light had already reached the center of her brow.

The light touched her fair skin, and accompanied by a cool sensation, that green dot easily penetrated the barrier she had condensed around herself with divine power and entered her body.

"What the hell is this!"

The Rakshasa God, having reacted, jumped to her feet, her expression heavy and tinged with fear.

She had never seen such methods before.

One had to know that even Asura could not have broken her defenses so silently that she hadn't sensed a thing.

But the most pressing matter was to figure out what exactly had entered her body.

However, the moment she probed her own body, she froze.

The dense aura of life left only one person in her mind.

"..."

"Life!! I have no grudge against you, why do you harm me!"

The roar echoed through the great hall, and the entire Rakshasa Temple trembled along with it.

At the same time, on the other side, the Life God King, who was resting in her own palace in a long green dress, was also startled awake from her sleep.

"That feeling of heart palpitations again..."

On the other side, Douluo Continent.

Ning Yao's gaze remained fixed on the Rakshasa Temple. Seeing that his little trick had taken effect, he nodded in satisfaction.

She wanted to know what was going on with Bibi Dong, so wouldn't letting her experience it personally be the best way to find out?

After all, since she had come, there was no way Ning Yao would let her leave empty-handed.

However, Ning Yao found the situation where the Rakshasa God mistook him for the Life Goddess, one of the five God Kings, somewhat novel.

But he couldn't be bothered to correct her; let her misunderstand if she wanted to.

In any case, he had only come to teach the Rakshasa God a lesson.

After all, he hated being disturbed while sleeping.

As for the effect of this lesson, that would really depend on the Rakshasa God's own fortune.

After all, logically speaking, this was the first time he had taken action against that group of fake gods in the God Realm.

Although they were all ants, they were still much stronger than the people on the Douluo Continent.

Moreover, the Rakshasa God's power conflicted somewhat with his own.

As for what kind of chemical reaction that would cause, he would have to wait for the Rakshasa God to tell him herself.

Under Ning Yao's perception, the Rakshasa God had already left her temple and was heading toward the residence of the Life God King.

"It's useless. No one can save you."
