"Ah..."
"Dong'er..."
Su Chen helped Bibi Dong up.
He knew this woman loved Yu Xiaogang deeply.
But Yu Xiaogang was no decent person at all.
He merely treated her as a tool for stealing Spirit Hall's theories.
Bibi Dong, meanwhile, was astonished by the affection in the young Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
She had never seen this in the past.
In her memories, the young Yu Xiaogang cared only about researching theories.
He had always neglected her.
At that moment.
Su Chen looked at Bibi Dong with eyes full of affection.
His heart ached as he thought:
Yu Xiaogang in the original novel and animation was utterly despicable.
To plagiarize theories, he completely disregarded the poor woman before him.
Bibi Dong suddenly asked:
"Why are you here? Weren't you researching theories in the library?"
Su Chen answered frankly:
"Qian Xunji wanted to lay his wicked hands on you. I would never allow that."
Warmth filled Bibi Dong's heart.
But she felt that Su Chen's aura was different from before.
"You've broken through to level 99, Limit Douluo?"
Su Chen nodded slightly.
Bibi Dong suddenly took a step back and said:
"You aren't the Yu Xiaogang I remember."
Su Chen shrugged and said:
"Bibi Dong, I came to save you."
"In the future, what happens in the secret chamber will make you hate the entire continent."
"You have no idea how many people want to change your fate."
"You say I'm not Yu Xiaogang, yet I am Yu Xiaogang."
"If you believe me."
"Listen to this one thing: don't hate the entire continent."
"Without Spirit Hall, commoners on the continent will spend their entire lives trapped at the bottom."
"They'll have no chance to turn their fortunes around."
"And Fallen Soul Masters will continue to run rampant."
Bibi Dong froze and said:
"Is it because of my master?"
Su Chen answered bluntly:
"Yes!"
"I came to change your fate of being assaulted in the secret chamber."
"In the future, you will kill Qian Xunji too."
"I merely erased him ahead of time."
"Master is dead?"
Bibi Dong had already guessed.
But she was still shocked. Why would her master assault her in the secret chamber?
Qian Renxue stepped out of the corner and said:
"Mother, this is the knot that has weighed on your heart your entire life."
"I understand why you were so cold toward me."
"I should never have been born into this world."
Bibi Dong froze at the sight of a woman whose beauty could topple cities and kingdoms.
She asked, "You're my daughter?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "To be precise."
"She's your daughter with Qian Xunji."
Bibi Dong swayed involuntarily.
Only then did she realize Qian Xunji was such a beast.
She had only ever regarded His Holiness the Pope as her master.
"He deserved to die!"
Bibi Dong truly was the future female pope.
In mere moments, she saw everything with complete clarity.
Once Qian Xunji succeeded in the secret chamber.
She would sink into a shadow from which there was no redemption.
Hating the continent, as Su Chen had described, would be her true ending.
If Qian Renxue before her were her daughter.
She would certainly treat her coldly.
So neither of the two before her was lying.
In Sky Screen Space-Time.
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth. "Dong'er belongs to me."
"Su Chen, what right do you have to touch her!!!"
Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang with disgust written all over her face:
"You still have the nerve to criticize Su Chen?"
"Did you save Bibi Dong back then?"
The Shrek Seven Devils also grew increasingly contemptuous of Yu Xiaogang:
"Other than raging helplessly, what can the Yu Xiaogang of this timeline do?"
"What else is he capable of?"
Even Flender fled with his face flushed.
His good buddy was no decent person at all.
At Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong smiled bitterly and shook her head:
"So my daughter cares about me this much."
"After being cold to her for so many years, I truly don't deserve to be a mother."
At the Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu sighed heavily:
"My precious granddaughter."
"This is all Qian Xunji's fault."
"How could he bear to lay his hands on the Holy Maiden!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head and said:
"Spirit Hall has lost all face now!"
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly:
"So Bibi Dong has a past like this!"
"Qian Renxue is actually her daughter!"
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen sneered coldly:
"The Yu Xiaogang of this timeline really is despicable."
"He's utterly disgraced our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Yu Tianheng said:
"How could I have an uncle like Yu Xiaogang?"
"Compared with Su Chen, he's simply too unsightly to look at."
Back in Su Chen's timeline.
Su Chen said bluntly, "Now that Qian Xunji is dead."
"I hope you can shoulder the responsibility of Spirit Hall."
"I have only two requests."
"First, continue helping commoners awaken their Martial Souls for free."
"Second, stop hating the continent."
"Continue hunting down Fallen Soul Masters."
Upon hearing this.
Bibi Dong truly lived up to being a female pope of her generation.
She gave a deep nod.
She said, "Rest assured. I'll be sure to keep your instructions firmly in mind."
Qian Renxue suddenly stepped forward and hugged her mother, Bibi Dong, tightly, saying:
"Mother, I've finally untied the greatest knot in your heart."
"It's time for me to return to my own timeline."
"Though I will no longer exist there, it was worth it."
Without realizing it.
Su Chen wanted to speak, but no matter what, he could not get the words out.
The Butterfly Effect was irreversible.
Once the past changed, the future would certainly change.
For example, Bibi Dong had not been assaulted in the secret chamber.
Qian Xunji had already died ahead of time.
The future Qian Renxue would certainly disappear.
This was an unchangeable fact.
So, for a moment, Su Chen found it hard to speak.
Ding! Host! The system has detected the current target disciple, Bibi Dong. Host, please decisively choose to take her as your disciple! Success will reward you with 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins. Failure will result in annihilation! Host, you have no choice.
The system's voice in Su Chen's mind was cold and cruel.
Su Chen cursed inwardly:
Is the mission really that important?
Forget it. I do need a large sum of money.
Partly for daily expenses, partly to prepare all kinds of heavenly treasures for Tang San.
Even 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins might not be enough.
After all, there are still those two freeloading Gangzis.
Bibi Dong regained her composure then and said:
"Yu Xiaogang, what exactly is your purpose in saving me?"
Qian Renxue had the same question.
Hearing this, Su Chen shook his head and said:
"Would you believe me if I said I was simply being kindhearted?"
Bibi Dong did not believe him.
Neither did Qian Renxue.
Left with no other choice.
Su Chen could only tell the truth:
"Dong'er, are you willing to take me as your master?"
Surprise filled Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes.
He had erased the pope and then come to save her.
All just to take a disciple?
Even Qian Renxue was speechless.
"Are you kidding?"
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue asked.
Su Chen had no choice but to explain:
"If you aren't willing to become my disciple."
"I'll meet the same end as Qian Renxue."
"I'll be erased in the future."
Bibi Dong was no fool.
A Yu Xiaogang who could travel through time and space.
It wasn't hard to understand him saying something like that.
Qian Renxue asked in surprise, "It's only natural for me to disappear."
"Why would you disappear too?"
Su Chen couldn't very well tell the two of them about the system, could he?
Su Chen could only sigh. "There's no time left."
"If Dong'er doesn't agree."
"I'll die even if I return to my original timeline!"
"All right! I agree!"
Bibi Dong answered after careful consideration.
She understood that everyone had their own secrets.
After all, Su Chen was the one who had changed her fate in the secret chamber.
Becoming his disciple would be a good thing too.
After all, he was a level 99 Limit Douluo under thirty!
He was far stronger than her master, Qian Xunji.
Hearing this, Su Chen said in delight:
"Thank you!"
"Let's meet again in the future!"
With that, Su Chen flew out of Spirit City with Qian Renxue.
In Sky Screen Space-Time.
Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded:
"He made such a huge fuss just to take Bibi Dong as his disciple?"
Liu Erlong mocked Yu Xiaogang:
"Did you think everyone was like you, doing it for a woman?"
Flender was even more ashamed to show his face.
His good brother was too embarrassing.
Without realizing it.
The Shrek Seven Devils all wanted to take Su Chen as their master.
Inside Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong finally shed a tear.
The knot in her heart finally began to loosen as well.
She remembered deeply the words Su Chen had left for her past self.
She said:
"Spirit Hall will continue awakening Martial Souls for commoners free of charge."
"I will no longer hate the entire Douluo Continent either."
"We will continue hunting down Fallen Soul Masters forever."
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo grew delighted.
Her Holiness's emotional knot had finally loosened.
Back in Su Chen's timeline.
He and Qian Renxue were in a Soul Hunting Forest.
Qian Renxue said with acceptance:
"My birth was a mistake to begin with."
"You don't need to blame yourself for my disappearance."
"This was my own choice!"
Su Chen wanted to speak, but found it difficult.
Soon, the laws of time and space began pressing down.
Qian Renxue's captivating figure gradually began to turn transparent.
Su Chen unleashed his strength as a Limit Douluo, yet could do nothing to stop it:
"Why am I not a God right now!"
"Then I could save your life!"
Qian Renxue's smile was accepting and pure.
Su Chen said through gritted teeth:
"I can't accept this."
"I can't accept this!"
Gradually, under the pressure of the laws of time and space.
Qian Renxue turned transparent and disappeared.
The system had intended to remind Su Chen.
That he could find her again in other timelines.
But it held that back for now.
Qian Renxue disappeared.
Su Chen couldn't accept it...
Before you continue
