Inside the Spirit City and the Pope Hall.
" Nana, are you feeling better now?"
After a long while, seeing that Hu Liena had finally recovered, Bibi Dong stopped gently patting Hu Liena's back and asked:
"I feel better, teacher."
Hu Liena glanced at her teacher somewhat embarrassedly, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Bibi Dong's extremely luxurious Pope robe was now disheveled, and even had some damp stains on it.
These are her masterpieces.
Hu Liena turned her head to the side, looking slightly guilty.
Bibi Dong didn't seem to care about this. She straightened her clothes and said softly:
" Nana, you should tell me what's wrong with you? How come you've suddenly become like this after just returning from the Star Luo Empire?"
Hu Liena's trip to the Star Luo Empire was to carry out her orders.
During this period, spies also sent back information.
Therefore, she was not entirely unaware of what was happening within the Star Luo Empire; she was aware of the turmoil that had been raging within the Star Luo Empire during this period.
Lin Mo led a group of people to seize power in the Star Luo Empire and beheaded Dai Mubai, the emperor who had just ascended the throne.
Even Tang San, the "good national advisor" mentioned by Dai Mubai, and the Clear Sky Sect behind him were captured by Lin Mo.
Thinking of this, a cold smile involuntarily appeared on Bibi Dong's lips.
Clear Sky Sect, you bastard Clear Sky Sect!
Has it run into a brick wall it can't handle?
Not long after its birth, it ran headlong into Lin Mo, an unshakeable mountain.
The entire sect was forced to surrender.
Even Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, the former pride of the sect and one of the Clear Sky Twins, was executed by Qian Renxue in front of so many people.
The execution was still carried out because it was a scourge against the people.
What an irony!
During this period, the Spirit Hall also Harvest.
The spies originally planted within the Star Luo Empire were not only not eliminated, but under Hu Liena's manipulation, they infiltrated even deeper than before.
It was Harvest.
Although Bibi Dong believes that the Star Luo Empire under Zhu Zhuqing's rule is not fundamentally different from the old Star Luo Empire under Dai Mubai's rule.
They are all just puppet regimes controlled by others.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed, and her gaze sharpened.
It didn't matter to her which one it was.
The Star Luo Empire will ultimately face only one fate: its only option will be to be incorporated into the Spirit Hall Empire!
This was not an exaggeration on her part. Currently, two and a half of the three countries on the entire Douluo Continent are under the control of the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall Empire goes without saying; it's an empire that Bibi Dong completely controls.
Although she couldn't interfere in the affairs of the Angel Empire, the actual control of the Angel Empire was in the hands of the lineage of the Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu.
Empress Qian Renxue of the Angel Empire is, after all, her daughter.
As for the remaining half, that naturally refers to the Star Luo Empire.
The time when it will be incorporated into the territory is not far off.
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Hu Liena instinctively lowered her head, avoiding Bibi Dong's gaze.
After a moment, she finally raised her still tearful eyes and looked at Bibi Dong, her voice still hoarse:
"Teacher, I... I've found the Blood Asura..."
"Hmm. That's good. You found Blood Asura?" Bibi Dong nodded in response, almost instinctively.
But he quickly came to his senses and realized something was wrong.
If this person had simply been found normally, Hu Liena shouldn't be in this state at all.
After so many years of searching, Hu Liena probably already had some idea of Blood Asura's identity.
Regardless of Blood Asura's identity, she should remain calm and composed.
However, judging from Hu Liena's previous behavior, it seems that this search has encountered a major unexpected situation.
Perhaps the Blood Asura's true identity far exceeded her expectations.
As if oblivious to the change in her teacher's expression, Hu Liena immediately dropped a conclusion that even Bibi Dong hadn't considered:
"Teacher, Blood Asura is Lin Mo, Lin Mo is Blood Asura..."
Hu Liena seemed oblivious to Bibi Dong's shock, and proceeded to recount her experiences during her time in the Star Luo Empire.
From Lin Mo's initial appearance, suppressing many Titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, to Tang Chen's comeback, Lin Nuo's display of Twin Martial Souls, and receiving the inheritance directly bestowed by the gods.
In the end, based on the fact that Lin Mo had been to the Slaughter City and possessed Twin Martial Souls with the ability to disguise himself, she became certain that Lin Mo was indeed the Blood Asura...
After listening to her disciple's account, Bibi Dong frowned, her good mood at Hu Liena's return instantly vanishing.
Instead, I felt extremely depressed.
Hu Liena's trip was indeed worthwhile; she brought back the crucial information she needed.
But the news was so bombshell that she found it hard to accept at first.
The fact that Dugu Yan, the successor to the Sea God, appeared among Lin Mo's group was already enough of a headache for her, but now there's another successor to the Asura God.
And the Asura God chose Lin Mo as his Godhood Inheritance.
This made Bibi Dong suddenly begin to doubt herself. Had she been cursed? Or was she being targeted by the heavens?
Why is everything going wrong lately?
Unexpected events have been occurring one after another recently, directly disrupting her initial plans.
Moreover, compared to Dugu Yan, who inherited the Sea God Godhood, Lin Mo, who inherited the Asura God Godhood, was clearly a bigger headache for Bibi Dong.
No one knew better than her, as the successor of the Rakshasa God, how much the Asura God restrained the Rakshasa God.
Its level of restraint is even greater than that of the God of Angels, who is inherently opposed to the Rakshasa God!
What really gave Bibi Dong a headache was Lin Mo's talent.
I thought that Lin Mo had disappeared for so long, and his current cultivation level was probably no more than that of his little girlfriend, who had just broken through to the Titled Douluo.
But the news that Nana brought back was horrifying.
This kid actually broke through to level 98 without making a sound!
Such talent makes him arguably the best of his generation!
Judging from Lin Mo's demonstrated talent, it's practically a certainty that he will break through to level 99 in his cultivation and successfully pass the Asura Nine Trials!
This is very disadvantageous for her, extremely disadvantageous.
This made Bibi Dong grit her teeth in anger whenever she recalled Lin Mo's familiar smile.
That brat actually kidnapped Xiao Xue!
She should have made up her mind sooner and ignored Xiao Xue when Lin Mo first arrived in Spirit City, Lin Mo this threat in the bud.
How could it have come to this point, with Lin Mo having grown to the point where even she can no longer handle him?
Lin Mo's talent was far greater than Bibi Dong had imagined; before this, no one knew that he actually possessed a Martial Soul.
This means that Lin Mo had already raised his Soul Power Level to 98 while cultivating only one Martial Soul.
This speed is even much faster than that of Bibi Dong, who also possesses Twin Martial Souls.
More importantly, Lin Mo, like her, has now become Godhood Inheritance.
This means that the problem of not being able to attach Soul Ring to Twin Martial Souls at the same time has been solved for him.
Lin Mo could now openly and confidently begin attaching Soul Ring to his Second Martial Soul.
Moreover, according to Nana, this kid's Second Martial Soul still has 8 Soul Ring that haven't been attached yet.
Once all eight Soul Ring are attached, even if these Soul Ring are not very old, as long as they are guaranteed to be at least 50,000 years old, Lin Mo's cultivation level will naturally reach level 99!
This kid was already extremely difficult to deal with when he didn't have Godhood Inheritance, but now he's even managed to acquire one, the kind that guarantees him Godhood Inheritance in the future.
With such a person standing in their way, the Spirit Hall's grand plan to unify the continent will likely be delayed once again.
And it seems... there's a possibility that it may never be completed.
There's still that old Qian Daoliu on the Angel Empire's side.
Qian Daoliu would absolutely not stand idly by and watch the Spirit Hall Empire annex the Angel Empire.
The Star Luo Empire is currently under Lin Mo's protection, which means that even though the Spirit Hall controls a part of the Star Luo Empire.
No amount of military force could completely annex it.
Moreover... this kid's strength is probably quite exaggerated.
After all, just as Nana said, even after Tang Chen briefly recovered to his peak condition, he didn't dare to fight Lin Mo, even though he knew Lin Mo was going to target the Clear Sky Sect.
This alone reveals a great deal.
Even before inheriting the Godhood, Lin Mo's strength was probably above that of Tang Chen, a veteran Peak Douluo.
This means that this kid's true strength is probably undeniably that of the number one in the world.
Instead of staying on the mainland to oppose her, Tang Chen chose to leave the Star Luo Empire and head to Sea God Island to find his old flame.
This is the only thing that makes Bi Dong feel gratified.
However, compared to the Spirit Hall Empire, which seems to have died in the womb, what troubles her more at this stage is her relationship with her disciple Hu Liena.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong subconsciously glanced at Hu Liena, who had just been crying her eyes out.
Feeling the teacher's gaze, Hu Liena scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong sighed softly.
No one knew better than her how much effort her disciple, Hu Liena, had poured into this so-called Blood Asura since returning from the Slaughter City.
For a long time, Blood Asura had been Hu Liena's greatest obsession.
But who could have imagined that the Blood Asura's true form would actually be Lin Mo?
This was something even Bibi Dong herself hadn't anticipated, let alone Hu Liena, who was so love-struck.
Moreover, to be fair, without considering their positions, Lin Mo is indeed a qualified partner.
Although he is a bit younger Nana, his looks, talent, influence, and background are all perfect.
She's only slightly less talented than her Xiaogang.
However, Lin Mo is just too much of a womanizer.
Despite already having multiple partners, he still tricked Xiao Xue into being with him.
She didn't know what kind of spell Xiao Xue had cast on her, making her insist on being with him. Thinking of this, Bibi Dong felt a surge of anger rising within her.
Now that we've already involved Xiao Xue, we absolutely cannot involve Nana!
But what Bibi Dong found even more absurd and Rage were the unreliable rumors and gossip from the outside world!
As the Empress of the Angel Empire, Qian Renxue allowed rumors about Lin Mo to spread throughout the Angel Empire.
This led to many people becoming aware of the relationships between Lin Mo, Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, Ye Lingling.
Even during this turbulent period in the Star Luo Empire, some new rumors began to circulate within their borders:
It is said that the newly enthroned empress of the Star Luo Empire, the new head of the Zhu Family, also has an ambiguous relationship with that Prince Lin.
This has led some busybodies to make unfounded connections.
Currently, the rulers of the three major empires on the continent are all women, which confirms that there is an ambiguous relationship between the Angel Empire Queen and the Prince Lin.
And now, the Star Luo Empire Empress is in the same situation.
This has led some busybodies to let their minds wander and start making unfounded associations.
Since both the Angel Empire Queen and the Star Luo Empire Empress have ambiguous relationships with Prince Lin, can the other empress on the continent escape this fate? Certainly not!
When Bibi Dong first heard these absurd gossip stories, she almost laughed out of anger.
How many heads do they have? How dare they spread such rumors!
These rumors are utter nonsense; she's old enough to be Lin Mo's mother!
Soon, Hu Liena's shout brought Bibi Dong back to reality.
"Teacher, what should I do?!"
Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong with teary eyes, her appearance so pitiful that it made Bibi Dong feel extremely sorry for her.
To Hu Liena's surprise, her teacher, who had always cared about her the most, fell silent and did not give an immediate answer.
Instead, he first reached out and ruffled her hair, then said in a gentle voice:
" Nana, relationships are a matter between two people, and ultimately, how you handle it is up to you; the decision is in your hands."
Even if you really want to go find him, the teacher won't stop you, but before making an important decision, you should still think it over carefully...
Don't act rashly based on impulse.
Hearing Bibi Dong's words of comfort, Hu Liena lowered her head in slight shame.
Seeing her disciple in this state, Bibi Dong shook her head in disappointment.
It's no wonder they're master and disciple; the disciples here are facing the exact same predicaments they faced back then.
I will never be as shameless as Qian Xunji was!
Bibi Dong made up her mind without even realizing it.
Given Nana's current state, we absolutely cannot let her continue to overthink things, otherwise something bad will definitely happen if this goes on for too long.
Let's arrange for Nana to go to the Spirit Hall Empire first, so she can help with government affairs there.
When people get busy, they don't have the extra energy to think about these unimportant things.
Time is the best healer, and with time, Nana will eventually recover, just like she did back then.
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Hu Liena fell silent once again.
Not long after Hu Liena left, Bibi Dong, who was sitting on the Pope throne, couldn't help but sigh.
She made up her mind in her heart.
The Spirit Hall Empire has a far greater number of both low- Soul Master and high-level Soul Master than the other two great empires.
However, in terms of top-tier combat power, they are slightly inferior to the Star Luo Empire, which has Lin Mo in charge.
Unfortunately, as the strongest member of the Spirit Hall, she was completely countered by Lin Mo, who had inherited the Asura God Godhood.
It now seems that if the Spirit Hall Empire wants to achieve its long-cherished wish of unifying the continent, there is only one path to take!
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Become a god!
As long as I become a god before Lin Mo and the others, the current predicament of the Spirit Hall Empire will be easily resolved!
Given that their strengths are roughly equal, it is true that the Rakshasa God would be restrained by the Asura God.
But if I become a god first, what good will it do if Lin Mo inherits the Asura God Godhood?
He will still be defeated by himself!
At that time, I will fulfill my greatest wish: first unify the continent, then destroy it!
Complete the revenge against that Qian Xunji and that hypocrite Qian Daoliu!
Before that, I must first complete the Rakshasa Nine Trials!
The prerequisite for the Rakshasa Nine Trials is having two Martial Soul at level nine... Thinking of this, Bibi Dong subconsciously released her Second Martial Soul.
Her lower body suddenly transformed into a spider form, and along with the Martial Soul Possession, seven Soul Ring —six black and one red—appeared at her feet!
Those two beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest deserve to die!
It's time to capture that transformed Soul Beast, imprison it, and save it for Nana's future breakthrough to Titled Douluo.
Two days later, Star Luo City.
Lin Mo, may you rest in peace!
Shui Yue'er cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted at Lin Mo, who was not far away.
They still had a reluctant expression on their faces.
After speaking, she subconsciously glanced at her sister, who had a "kind" expression, and under pressure from her sister, she ultimately didn't blurt out those unreliable words.
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
Lin Mo waved to the crowd without turning his head.
Immediately, he turned around and stepped onto the Charizard that had returned to its original size.
Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling had been waiting for a long time on the Charizard.
Seeing Lin Mo come up, the three of them stepped aside to make room for Lin Mo to sit down.
"Let's go, Charizard."
After shifting his position to make himself more comfortable, Lin Mo patted the Charizard and said...
"Roar--!"
The Charizard let out a long roar to the sky, then flapped its wings, kicking up a lot of dust. Supported by the wind element, the entire dragon flew into the air at an extremely fast speed.
Like a shooting star flying backwards, it quickly reached the top of the clouds.
The three chatted idly, passing the time.
"What's up?"
Lin Mo subconsciously responded and looked up at Qian Renxue.
"Nothing," Qian Renxue shook her head, "It's just that I'd like to know what the mysterious news you were telling them earlier was."
"Huo Wu, why are they so excited?"
"Yes, what did you just tell them?"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were clearly intrigued and asked in unison.
"You want to know?"
Lin Mo sat up straight, keeping everyone in suspense.
"I want to know." Qian Renxue nodded in agreement and said.
Seeing this, Lin Mo stopped being mysterious and said frankly:
"I just told them that there is a high probability that there is a legacy left behind by an unknown god in the Star Luo Empire. This legacy may be a direct inheritance, or it may be a key token used to activate the legacy!"
"What?"
Qian Renxue's eyes widened immediately.
For a moment, he could hardly believe what he was hearing. The inheritance of gods was extremely rare, yet Lin Mo said that it existed within the Star Luo Empire.
Moreover, judging from Lin Mo's tone, he seemed quite certain.
Lin Mo seemed to deliberately ignore Qian Renxue's reaction:
"Anyway Huo Wu and the others have already reached the Soul Saint Soul Douluo realms, and are not far from becoming Titled Douluo."
If one can find a divine inheritance artifact, there is still a chance to inherit it and attempt to reach God Level in the future!
Their talent is among the most outstanding of their peers!
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue could no longer contain her excitement and got up to walk in front of Lin Mo.
He placed his hands on Lin Mo's shoulders to steady himself, his golden eyes fixed intently on Lin Mo, and asked seriously:
"Where did you get this information? If it were a legacy left behind by the gods, Tang San would have gotten his hands on it long ago, wouldn't he?"
To Qian Renxue's surprise, before she could get a reply from Lin Mo, Dugu Yan raised her hand first.
"I know, I know, A-Mo is most likely guessing!"
Dugu Yan raised his hand and patted her shoulder, saying with a playful expression, " A-Xue, don't you know how my Sea God Inheritance?"
If it weren't for the lucky find of the key token of the Sea God Inheritance, I wouldn't have had the fortune to obtain the Sea God Inheritance and become the Sea God's successor...
Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Qian Renxue subconsciously glanced at the Sea God Trident in Dugu Yan's hand, and a sense of foreboding inexplicably arose in her heart.
Before Qian Renxue could figure out what this ominous premonition was, Dugu Yan stopped being mysterious and said directly:
"The most crucial relic of my succession to the Sea God Godhood — the Sea God's Heart —was given to A-Mo by you yourself!"
A-Mo didn't seem to know how valuable this thing was, and then he gave it to me!
Only then did I become such a lucky one!
Let me sort this out...
Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly contracted. No longer caring about her ladylike image, she plopped down on her bottom. After glancing at Lin Mo, she began to try hard to recall what she had given Lin Mo.
Qian Renxue quickly turned her head sharply to look at Dugu Yan, and asked in a slightly trembling voice:
"Don't you dare tell me that the Sea God's Heart is the national treasure I gave to A-Mo as Xue Qinghe, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!"
You got it right, but there's no reward.
Dugu Yan spread her hands and burst into laughter, as if she had won a victory again.
Why are you all acting like little kids?
Lin Mo sighed helplessly.
He then found a comfortable spot and lay down on Ye Lingling's smooth Limber thighs, enjoying the long-awaited lap pillow.
Facing the sky, which was half-obscured, Lin Mo closed his eyes and began to rest.
