"Hmph, just because you didn't see it doesn't mean she didn't do it. Didn't you hear just now that everything a person did in life was recorded? Her name has already been registered in the Primordial World. Now they're just waiting to settle her accounts after she dies."
Yu Xiaogang spoke viciously.
Ning Rongrong curled her lip. "Twisted nonsense."
Influenced by her sect, Ning Rongrong had no favorable impression of Spirit Hall, but she really couldn't stand listening to Flat-top slander the beautiful Qian Renxue like this.
Yu Xiaogang immediately flew into a rage, waving his notebook.
"Are you refuting the Ten Core Competencies for Becoming a God in the Primordial World that I, the Master, just authored?"
Ning Rongrong couldn't hold back a laugh.
"That's hilarious, Master. Everyone on the Douluo Continent heard what Earth Granny said just now. How did it become your work?"
At this point, Ning Rongrong put on a shocked expression. "Don't tell me your Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls were also..."
"Shut up!"
This time, it was Tang Hao who barked at Ning Rongrong.
He had been watching from the shadows when Tang San became Yu Xiaogang's disciple. If Yu Xiaogang's ten theories were plagiarized too, wouldn't that prove he had poor judgment?
Absolutely not.
Tang Hao fixed his tiger-like eyes, with sleep crusted in their corners, on Ning Rongrong.
"Little girl, don't speak carelessly. Earth Granny also said just now that good deeds by one's ancestors provide the protection of hidden virtue. That means evil deeds by one's ancestors will also affect their descendants."
"Spirit Hall has done no small number of evil deeds. Take a recent incident, for example. How difficult is it for a Soul Beast to cultivate for a hundred thousand years? Yet the Papal Emperor of Spirit Hall forced one to sacrifice herself."
"That debt will certainly be charged to their descendants."
"Daddy is right. It will definitely be charged to this Qian Renxue."
Tang San immediately agreed.
Ning Rongrong wanted to roll her eyes. She had also been there when Tang Hao recounted his past just now. Wasn't he talking about the Blue Silver Emperor?
But the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Ring is on you! You, a human, carried on with a Soul Beast. Who knows whose account that debt will actually be charged to?
Mindful of Tang Hao's strength, Ning Rongrong lowered her head and said no more.
In Spirit City, Qian Daoliu's laughter rang throughout the Worship Hall.
"Congratulations, big brother! Congratulations! Xiao Xue obtained the qualification for a divine trial in the Primordial World so easily! Hahaha!"
"Congratulations, Great Enshrined! The young mistress will surely obtain a divine position!"
The elders and enshrined present were all smiling like blooming flowers.
In their eyes, becoming a temple keeper was no different from qualifying for a divine trial. Passing the trial meant becoming a god.
"If you ask me, by the time we can go to the Primordial World too, the young mistress might already be an Earth God. I propose that we build the Primordial World's Spirit Hall on her territory when the time comes."
Some elders kept pouring out flattering words that cost them nothing.
Qian Daoliu smiled so broadly that his teeth showed but his eyes vanished.
Bibi Dong, meanwhile, said nothing from beginning to end. The Rakshasa God now counted for less than a fart in her heart. She suddenly realized that becoming a god of the Primordial World would be rather good too.
The Star Dou Great Forest.
"My lord, if becoming a god in the Primordial World only requires merit, does that mean we can become gods too?"
At this moment, Di Tian, the Dragon God's most loyal guard, set his mind to work.
"Why don't I take them out to do some good deeds? See whether we can accumulate some merit?"
The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena did not answer immediately. Instead, she put her world-shaking wisdom to work.
Only after a long while did she speak.
"What good deeds? Are we supposed to give human Soul Masters free Soul Rings?"
Di Tian was a little stumped too, because he realized both ends seemed blocked.
"We're Soul Beasts. Logically, protecting Soul Beasts and preventing them from becoming Soul Rings should count as doing good deeds, shouldn't it? But what you said seems to make sense too, my lord."
At that moment, an eerie silence fell beneath the Lake of Life. With their different standpoints, which side would helping count as doing good deeds and earn them merit?
This question was too difficult.
The Silver Dragon King's enormous eyes turned toward the sky screen again.
"Don't rush. Keep a close eye on that rabbit first and see whether we can discover a way for Soul Beasts to become gods."
In the Primordial World, night had already fallen.
The Nine Demon Cave on the Northern Julu Continent.
Through the vent above the cave, Snake Maiden pointed at the moon and said:
"Little Jade Rabbit, do you see the moon? Your ancestor is up there."
"Ancestor?"
Xiao Wu looked up. There were rabbits on the moon too?
Mocking laughter came from nearby. It was the other monsters who also belonged to the Nine Demon Cave.
A chicken spirit sneered, "Snake Maiden, Ancestor Jade Rabbit isn't pink. This rabbit of yours is all tender and pink. I bet she tastes wonderful."
Xiao Wu immediately trembled in fright.
Snake Maiden spat. "Isn't it just a different color? A little dye will do."
Grabbing Xiao Wu by the ears, Snake Maiden casually produced an unknown white flower and rubbed it all over her body.
Like a puppet, Xiao Wu was arranged in all sorts of poses. Soon, her pink fur had turned white.
"Mm, that really is much easier on the eyes. Hahaha! Little Jade Rabbit, do you like your new look?"
Badly frightened, Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you, Mistress. Xiao Wu... Jade Rabbit loves it."
"Ahahahaha! As long as you like it. Your mistress loves it dearly too!"
Snake Maiden picked Xiao Wu up and kept squeezing and manhandling her.
"Snake Maiden, you're courting death!"
Tang San watched helplessly as Xiao Wu was left at Snake Maiden's mercy, who had even changed Xiao Wu's color right in front of him.
How was this any different from being NTR'd to his face?
"Little San, this is only a temporary hardship. You must stay calm. As long as you're strong enough, one day you'll be able to rescue Xiao Wu."
Yu Xiaogang fed Tang San motivational chicken soup from beside him.
"Look, everyone! The scene changed! That's... the moon! There really is someone on the moon!"
Oscar's startled cry rang out, and Tang San immediately looked toward the light screen.
On the moon, in Guanghan Palace.
A rabbit, white as jade from head to toe, was savoring moon laurel. His long ears twitched, his bright red eyes glanced at the lower realm, and his three-part mouth curved in mockery.
"To think our Jade Rabbit has become an ancestor now."
As a figure dressed in moon-white palace robes walked in, a gentle voice sounded beside Jade Rabbit's ears.
Jade Rabbit immediately leaped toward the floor. White light enveloped him, and upon landing, he took the form of a lively, mischievous young girl.
"Pah, pah! A mongrel rabbit actually dares call herself Little Jade Rabbit! I'm furious!"
The girl-shaped Jade Rabbit puffed his cheeks up like buns, then rolled his eyes at the newcomer.
"Sister Chang'e, it's bad enough you won't help me vent my anger, but you're making fun of me too."
Chang'e smiled gently. "You're so adorable. How could I make fun of you?"
"They're only a bunch of little demons whose intelligence has just awakened, and they live in that wilderness on the Northern Julu Continent. They know nothing of rank or status."
"But since they've made a mistake, they must still be punished."
Chang'e pointed a finger, and the Essence of the Moon that should have flowed toward the Nine Demon Cave decreased by seventy percent.
"Let their punishment be a seventy-percent reduction in the Essence of the Moon for a hundred years. How's that? Has that soothed your anger?"
For a little demon in the mortal realm to assume the name of a great heavenly deity was an absolute felony. The punishment was only this light because Jade Rabbit had no standing in the Heavenly Court, and Chang'e was merely an immortal maiden with limited authority.
Otherwise, a bolt of lightning would have struck down and killed them outright.
After only that fleeting glimpse, the scene on the light screen switched back to the Nine Demon Cave.
Yet those few breaths of footage stirred towering waves across the Douluo Continent.
