Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue Awaken

Night hung heavy, and a crescent moon spilled frost-like radiance across the land.

Inside the thatched cottage, a candle Lie Yan flickered, its orange-yellow glow dimly lighting the room. Gu Shengge sat before the desk, his pen never stopping as he wrote down some of his plans for the future.

Now that Sister Green Banyan was gone, he would have to walk the rest of the road on his own.

Gu Shengge recalled the plot of Peerless Tang Clan. He still remembered the general storyline, but many of the finer details had long been forgotten.

He remembered that Huo Yuhao enrolled at Shrek Academy when he was eleven, and the plot of Peerless Tang Clan began from there.

In the original work, Jiang Nannan sold herself to the Xuanming Sect at fourteen. Now that Gu Shengge had beaten them to it, more than half a year had passed. When Huo Yuhao first met Jiang Nannan at Shrek Academy, she should have been around fourteen or fifteen.

That meant if he enrolled at Shrek Academy now, he might end up in the same year as Huo Yuhao.

Gu Shengge stopped writing, a trace of contemplation flashing through his eyes. He just wondered whether Huo Yuhao had obtained Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Soul Ring at this point in time.

However, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Soul Ring was not suitable for him. His Angel God Martial Soul was better suited to light- and fire-attribute Soul Beasts, while the Rakshasa God Martial Soul was suited to dark, evil, and ice-attribute Soul Beasts.

After six years of being spoiled by Sister Green Banyan, Gu Shengge had become too picky to care for ordinary Soul Rings.

Ice Empress. Snow Empress.

The names of the two great rulers of the Extreme North appeared on the paper. Both possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute and suited the Rakshasa God Martial Soul.

Gu Shengge stared at those two names and sank into thought.

With his strength, the possibility of obtaining the Soul Rings of the Ice and Snow Empresses was practically nonexistent. Huo Yuhao had only made Ice Empress his second Martial Soul with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's help.

His slender, jade-like fingers lightly tapped the pen shaft, producing crisp little sounds that rose and fell with his thoughts.

After a moment, his brows relaxed. His pen moved, crossing out Ice Empress's name before circling Snow Empress's.

Gu Shengge was determined to obtain Snow Empress.

As for Ice Empress, he did not hold much hope. Putting aside whether he could defeat her, his current physical strength could not absorb Ice Empress's Soul Ring anyway.

Gu Shengge set down his pencil and let out a long sigh. In the end, it was still because he was not strong enough.

At that thought, he could not help blaming the two divine Martial Souls within his body.

If they had not plundered the Soul Power he cultivated during the first five years, then with the sacrifices of three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, he would definitely have reached Soul Sage by now. No—even becoming a Title Douluo would not have been a problem.

After all, according to Sister Green Banyan's arrangements, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would sacrifice itself whenever he needed a Soul Ring. With the Soul Power from the sacrifices of nine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, plus his own six years of cultivation, becoming a Title Douluo would not have been difficult.

Two spendthrift women.

The more Gu Shengge thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he could only smile bitterly in resignation. What was the use of being angry? The matter was already settled. Unless he used the Spring Autumn Cicada to return to the past, he might be able to change things and awaken different Martial Souls.

Still, using the Spring Autumn Cicada on something like this was not worth it. Besides, any Martial Souls he awakened again might not be better than these two divine Martial Souls.

There was no point in starting over. Becoming a Title Douluo was merely a matter of time for him.

Gu Shengge cleared the stray thoughts from his mind, rose to blow out the candle on the desk, and returned to bed.

Unexpectedly, the moment he closed his eyes, he felt a pulling force within his body drag his consciousness into the Creation Space deep within his sea of consciousness.

The Creation Space, suffused with flowing platinum iridescent light, was breathtakingly beautiful. Two figures radiating entirely different auras stood in the center, while thin, sparse Creation Laws permeated the space and nourished them.

One was pure and transcendent, sacred and inviolable.

The other was enchanting and seductive, wreathed in endless darkness.

Their gazes fell upon Gu Shengge at the same time, their eyes carrying inexplicable emotions—scrutiny, reflection, and above all, helplessness.

When Gu Shengge saw the awakened Rakshasa God, Bibi Dong, and Angel God, Qian Renxue, he froze for a moment before delight appeared on his face. These two spendthrift mother and daughter had finally awakened!

Bibi Dong gazed at the youth before her, his reflection mirrored in her gorgeous eyes. After a long silence, she finally spoke slowly, her voice cool yet carrying faint authority.

"Little one, thank you for sustaining us these past six years."

Qian Renxue also gave Gu Shengge a grateful look. Her exquisitely beautiful face revealed a gentle smile.

In truth, they had awakened six years ago, when Gu Shengge underwent Martial Soul Awakening. However, the erosion of ten thousand years had left them far too weak. They could only rely on instinct to plunder Gu Shengge's Soul Power and slowly recover.

If not for the Soul Power from the sacrifices of three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, relying solely on the Soul Power Gu Shengge cultivated himself would probably have required another twenty years before they could fully awaken.

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had fully revived a month ago. Though they felt helpless about becoming someone else's Martial Souls, the matter was already settled, and they had no choice but to accept it.

The reason they had not met Gu Shengge immediately was because they wanted to observe him for a while and see whether he was qualified to command them and become their Soul Master.

Yet the result had greatly exceeded their expectations. They had assumed Gu Shengge was merely a fortunate Soul Master who had, by chance, become the vessel for the remnants of their souls and allowed them to transform into Martial Souls. They never expected his background to be so extraordinary.

At the cultivation of a Soul Elder, he possessed three 100,000-Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones, carried the Creator God's Bloodline, had been personally acknowledged by the Goddess of Life as the "Son of the Creator God," and was even the future God of Life and Destruction.

This chain of identities astonished Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. At the same time, they understood that an ordinary Soul Master could never have been qualified to bear the divine souls of mother and daughter. Gu Shengge, who possessed the Creator God's Bloodline, was the finest possible vessel.

Once Gu Shengge became a god in the future and inherited the divine positions of the God of Life and Destruction, perhaps they could truly be resurrected as well.

That was why Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue treated Gu Shengge so gently.

However, even as the Son of the Creator God, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had their own pride. They would not simply allow him to command them as he pleased. Thus, they dragged Gu Shengge into the Creation Space because they wished to lay down three rules with him.

"Little one, that is how things stand. Although we have now become your Martial Souls, we were once gods and possess our own pride and dignity. Therefore, we wish to establish three rules with you..."

Before Bibi Dong could finish, Gu Shengge decisively shook his head and interrupted her.

"I refuse."

Both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were stunned. Gu Shengge looked at them, obvious displeasure showing in his platinum eyes as he spoke again, his tone filled with mockery.

"Establish three rules? The pride and dignity of gods? Heh~ Don't forget that without me, you would not even have had the chance to revive as Martial Souls. Now that you've awakened, this won't do and that won't do? Impossible. You have no right to negotiate terms with me. Either submit, or else~ perish completely!"

As Gu Shengge's words fell, the Creation Laws within the Creation Space boiled like scalding water and instantly enveloped Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, as though they would assimilate them if they refused to submit.

Within the Creation Space, Gu Shengge was the absolute master!

PS: According to my setting, after the protagonist becomes a god and kills Tang San, he will use the Spring Autumn Cicada again to reincarnate back to the era of Douluo I based on Bibi Dong's memories, then deal with Tang San one more time.
