The Life Goddess began searching the area.
With just a glance, she spotted suitable immortal herbs.
"Emerald Immortal Dew Fungus, Dark Spirit Flower of Destruction."
"Xiao Mu, you can absorb those two."
"With me here, you won't feel any pain at all."
The Life Goddess patted her chest in assurance.
With the Life Goddess here, nothing was a problem.
There would be no pain whatsoever.
"Senior Life, I had actually chosen those two herbs earlier. It was just that the others hadn't finished absorbing theirs yet, so I couldn't absorb them directly."
Su Mu had to prepare for unexpected situations. He couldn't have everyone absorbing immortal herbs at once.
"Xiao Mu is quite thoughtful. As expected of the successor I chose."
The Life Goddess chuckled.
Then they quietly waited for a day.
"Senior Brother."
After absorbing the fourth power, Bibi Dong suddenly opened her eyes. The first thing she did was call out to Su Mu, but she began gasping for breath as though she had just returned from hell.
"Dong'er, what's wrong?" Su Mu walked over, crouching beside Bibi Dong as he looked at her pained face.
"Senior Brother."
Bibi Dong suddenly embraced Su Mu.
"You have no idea how terrible I felt just now. And there were two voices whispering in my ear—I almost went mad."
That feeling had been unbearably painful, like falling into hell. She wanted to crawl out and open her eyes, yet no matter what she did, she could not.
Su Mu patted Bibi Dong's back and soothed her. "It's all right. What did those voices say? Tell Senior Brother."
"They said that if I killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, I could obtain boundless opportunities."
"They only said three sentences in total, but every one of them told me to hunt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."
Bibi Dong was deeply impressed by the matter of killing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Moreover, she knew nothing about that soul beast.
"Was there anything besides the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?" Su Mu continued asking.
"Yes. When I was about to finish absorbing it, another voice appeared by my ear and told me to go to a statue in Slaughter City. It said my opportunity would be there."
Bibi Dong told Su Mu everything she wanted to say.
She carefully looked around again and discovered that the other three were still absorbing their powers, showing no signs of waking. Dugu Xin, who had finished absorbing the aura, was crouching beside Dugu Bo, and he had now begun absorbing it as well.
Xie An and Hu Liena, meanwhile, stood nearby without stepping forward to disturb them.
At that moment, her wildly pounding heart finally calmed down.
"Dong'er, let go of Senior Brother. I'll explain it to you one by one."
Bibi Dong released Su Mu, then sat on the ground and looked at him.
"Dong'er, who do you think that voice came from?"
Su Mu asked with a smile.
"A god. Didn't Senior Brother get chosen by a god before? I think that aside from gods, no one else could possess such heaven-reaching methods."
Bibi Dong voiced her thoughts.
"Dong'er is so smart. It was indeed a god, and one of the five God Kings of the Divine Realm—the Evil God King."
"A God King!" Bibi Dong cried out, then laughed happily. "Then I'm just like Senior Brother. I have a god too."
Su Mu continued, "Of course. Besides the Evil God King, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger he wants you to hunt is no ordinary soul beast either."
"Not an ordinary soul beast?" Bibi Dong was uncertain, but a soul beast a God King wanted her to hunt was certainly no simple creature.
"According to legend, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was not naturally born. The Evil God supposedly descended into the mortal world and possessed a light-attribute white tiger, triggering a bloodline mutation that created this peerless ferocious beast."
"That is why the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possesses the attribute of devouring evil. That is also why I want you to hunt it."
Su Mu's words gave Bibi Dong some understanding.
"Then wouldn't obtaining the god position be within easy reach?" Bibi Dong laughed twice.
"It isn't that simple." Su Mu shook his head and continued, "It has a core ability. Using its Evil God Hook, it opens an alternate space and forcibly drags its opponent inside, reverting both bodies to their childhood states for battle. Only when one side dies can the other escape. That is its most terrifying trump card."
"What? Reverted to a childhood state? How am I supposed to fight a soul beast like that?"
Bibi Dong's face turned pale with fright, and she immediately hugged Su Mu.
"Senior Brother, I don't want to die. I haven't even given you babies yet. Isn't this Evil God King far too evil?"
No, no, wasn't this just sending her to her death?
"What do you mean, giving me babies? We're talking about this. Don't lead us off-topic."
Su Mu rapped Bibi Dong on the head, annoyed.
Bibi Dong pouted coquettishly. "Senior Brother, how could I possibly defeat it with my current strength?"
Su Mu said, "It's not time for that yet, is it? Senior Brother will definitely think of a way. Besides, the Evil God King's god position can't possibly be obtained so easily."
"You should have said Senior Brother would find a way earlier." Bibi Dong let out a sigh of relief, released Su Mu, and returned to her spot.
"As for the second voice, it belonged to the Rakshasa God, a first-class god one rank below a God King. And that Rakshasa God is no good. The rewards for completing its divine trials aren't much either."
Su Mu quickly dismissed the idea of pursuing the Rakshasa God's position.
"I'll listen to Senior Brother. I'll choose whichever one you tell me to choose."
Bibi Dong trusted Su Mu completely. She did not understand any of this anyway, so listening to him was the right choice.
After learning so much,
Bibi Dong began examining her body and discovered that the origin powers of her Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor had increased enormously.
The two powers that had once conflicted now showed signs of harmonious coexistence, like family. There was no rejection at all, and they even seemed capable of merging together.
Bibi Dong eagerly shared this good news with Su Mu.
"This mutual complementarity and lack of conflict isn't as simple as merely raising their origins," Su Mu said.
"Then what's different about it?" Bibi Dong pressed on like a curious child.
"It means you can use a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Your Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor can merge and unleash different soul skills."
Su Mu gave a simple explanation.
"That powerful? Doesn't that mean I'm basically equal to two people by myself?" Bibi Dong was thrilled.
"More or less. In any case, it's very powerful."
A Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill was naturally achievable.
At that moment, three auras soared into the sky.
Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo had all achieved breakthroughs.
"Rays of light shooting into the sky—the sign of breaking through to Titled Douluo."
As Su Mu watched the heavenly phenomenon, a faint dragon's might spread through the air. He followed the aura with his gaze.
Behind Dugu Bo, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor began undergoing its transformation. Its original snake head changed into a dragon head, while its scales became tougher and harder dragon scales.
"A snake transforming into a dragon!"
Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised.
"Not a true dragon. It looks like a Flood Dragon."
