Ch. 121The SCP Foundation Oversees the Trial—Bibi Dong’s God-Level Test / Success! Bibi Dong Becomes a God and Brings Qian Renxue to Battle Through the Heavens!
Plot and events
- Jiang Chen sends Bibi Dong away to bring back more Title Douluos, then seals the routes into the Battle Through the Heavens world. He admits he sent her away because her imposing presence keeps potential opponents from acting—and because he wants to take the risk himself.
- While Bibi Dong is gone, she and Qian Renxue discuss their training and divine trials. Bibi Dong is reluctant to reveal that her final Rakshasa trial involves consuming others’ power.
- Jiang Chen orders the SCP Foundation to supervise Bibi Dong’s trial. Bibi Dong objects, but agrees when Doctor Kuroto warns that refusing could endanger Douluo Continent.
- Bibi Dong’s Soul-Devouring Formation begins absorbing spirits and other beings. Qian Renxue worries for her mother and refuses to let her go, but Bibi Dong insists on completing the trial to protect her daughter.
- Bibi Dong succeeds, appears with the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, and embraces Qian Renxue. She offers the divine weapon to the Foundation for replication, and Jiang Chen grants her permanent external membership.
- Jiang Chen’s real aim was partly to repair the mother-daughter relationship: seeing Bibi Dong endure the trial helps Qian Renxue understand her, advancing his broader plan to pacify and win over Douluo Continent. He also continues seeking allies and influence in Battle Through the Heavens.
