Rakshasa? Never Heard of It. Why Was It So Stingy?

"True." Bibi Dong felt slightly disappointed.

Indeed, she should not stay away from Spirit Hall for too long.

After thinking it over repeatedly, Yu Xiaogang still decided to ask Bibi Dong, "Dong'er, do you trust me?"

"You... what did you just call me...?" Joy flashed across Bibi Dong's face as she pressed him for an answer.

"Dong'er?" Yu Xiaogang called her that again, testing the waters.

Bibi Dong shot him an annoyed glance. "If you trust me, how could I not trust you?"

She knew he was another Yu Xiaogang who had returned through rebirth.

But he truly matched the image of Yu Xiaogang in her mind.

Knowledgeable and talented, graceful and handsome, diligent and hardworking.

Over the past two years, she had seen every bit of effort Yu Xiaogang had put in.

When Yu Xiaogang returned through rebirth, he had only been level twenty-two, yet he had been willing to trust her, accept her invitation, and come to Spirit City, to Spirit Hall.

How could she possibly not trust Yu Xiaogang?

In her eyes, no matter how powerful Yu Xiaogang's talent was after his rebirth, perhaps allowing him to crush those of the same rank or even fight above his level...

He could never possibly be her opponent.

And the only person Yu Xiaogang could rely on was Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen? He truly could not defeat her.

She was no longer that little girl from back then, powerless to resist.

Even under such circumstances, Yu Xiaogang had still accepted her invitation... and immediately told her the secret of his rebirth.

There was no need to say more about that trust.

"Then I'll speak plainly about some things." Yu Xiaogang still gave her a warning beforehand.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's serious expression, Bibi Dong became much more solemn as well. "Just say it."

"Over these past years, did you obtain a Divine Trial?" Yu Xiaogang went straight to the point, targeting the heart of the matter.

He was certain he had not sensed it wrong.

Though it was hidden and faint, Bibi Dong truly carried the aura of Divine Power.

"?!" There was instinctive panic and tension in Bibi Dong's eyes.

She had clearly told no one about this.

Not even Qian Daoliu knew.

As long as she became a god, no one would be able to stop her.

Qian Daoliu was very powerful, but he was absolutely no match for a god.

Even a newly ascended god was still a god, separated from a Titled Douluo by a qualitative gap.

Yu Xiaogang's question made her recall the past once more. Her voice was somewhat hoarse. "Xiao Gang, how did you know about this?"

Bibi Dong did not reveal any killing intent toward him. Even her instinctive response had not been to guard against him.

That was enough to prove that Bibi Dong's devotion to her feelings... might have exceeded even his imagination.

"Does this feel familiar?"

Rather than answering immediately, Yu Xiaogang summoned a wisp of Divine Power.

When Bibi Dong felt that power, her pupils abruptly contracted, filling with shock. "Could it be that you too, Xiao Gang...?!"

"I didn't explain it clearly before." Yu Xiaogang withdrew his Divine Power. "The fundamental reason I was reborn was that I failed to create my own Godhood, and something went wrong."

Sometimes, he also wondered whether this would not have happened if he had inherited the Light Godhood back then.

But what then after inheriting the Light Godhood? How long would it have taken him to raise the Light Godhood to the level of a God King?

He was not content with being a First-Level God. Or rather, he did not want to remain stuck at the First-Level God stage for so long.

If he created his own Godhood, then as long as he succeeded, according to the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, he would begin as a First-Level God, and cultivating to the level of a God King would be far, far faster than inheriting the Light Godhood and then raising it to that level.

What he sought to achieve was not one of the conventional gods of the current God Realm.

He sought to become a Dragon King of the Dragon Clan.

And a brand-new Dragon King Godhood—the Radiant Dragon King Godhood.

"As for why I said you obtained a Divine Trial, it's because my spiritual power is actually within the Divine Rank domain. I can sense that wisp of Evil Divine Power hidden within your body."

"After so much time has passed, with your talent, it would be strange if you had not obtained a Divine Trial."

In Yu Xiaogang's eyes, Bibi Dong's talent had already met the requirements for those gods to bestow a Divine Trial.

"Still, why does this hidden wisp of Divine Power give me such an evil feeling?"

"Resentment, hatred, slaughter, pain, despair..."

For a moment, he truly could not think of whose inheritance it was.

Bibi Dong closed her eyes. "The Divine Trial I obtained is called the Rakshasa God Trial."

"I often hear that voice softly echoing beside my soul, amplifying the negative emotions in my heart."

"Sometimes, I even feel that voice whispering beside my ear... countless wails and resentful voices drill into my mind. If I am even slightly careless, I will sink into them."

"Rather than calling this a Divine Trial inheritance, it would be more accurate to say that it is also a curse."

"Its will is eroding my mind at every moment."

This was the first time she had voiced her true feelings.

That was only because the person standing before her was Yu Xiaogang, and because he himself possessed Divine Power.

If it had been anyone else who discovered this secret, she would have directly killed them.

"?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned. "Rakshasa? So it was her? No wonder this Divine Power felt so evil to me."

"You know her?"

"Not well. I merely know that such a god exists. The Rakshasa God is a First-Level God in the God Realm."

"Normally, a Divine Trial should not be like what you experienced, guiding and eroding you."

"Don't you have any clear prompts? Such as the first Rakshasa God Trial requiring you to do something, the second trial requiring you to do something else, and so on?"

Bibi Dong shook her head. "Yes, but also no. The trials given to me are all vague, or assessments summed up in a single sentence. I have now progressed to the third trial."

"I need to figure out for myself what exactly the Divine Trial wants me to do, or what I need to accomplish."

"Then what were the rewards for your first two trials?"

"Does Rakshasa God Affinity count?" Bibi Dong did not know what use it had.

It seemed to be related to inheriting the Godhood.

At the very least, she had not felt any improvement in her strength after receiving the reward.

"That's all?" Yu Xiaogang's frown deepened.

"That's all."

The more Yu Xiaogang listened, the more improper this Divine Trial felt. "After passing each trial, there should be all sorts of rewards."

"For example, a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, a Soul Bone set, Godhood Affinity, Spirit Ring Age Increase, and so on."

Thanks to the Light God wanting him to inherit the Light Godhood, he had learned much information about Divine Trials from the Light God.

"From what you've said, this Rakshasa God Trial does not sound like anything good."

"It would be one thing if the trials gave no guidance, but it is actually eroding its own inheritor."

"What's even worse is that it does not even give out Divine Trial rewards."

"Was this Rakshasa God really that stingy?"
