" Your His Holiness the Pope."
Just then, a silver-armored guard came in to report, " The Second Worship has arrived and is waiting in the side hall."
" Golden Crocodile?"
Bibi Dong was somewhat taken aback by the visit of Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Especially considering Golden Crocodile Douluo's attitude—he actually waited in the side hall instead of barging in directly.
To be honest, this really surprised Bibi Dong.
"It seems that the Ascension Ritual Xiao Chen held for Jin Tianyue last time completely convinced that old crocodile Golden Crocodile E."
Six months ago, at Qian Daoliu's request, Luo Chen performed Ascension Ritual for Jin Tianyue, the great-granddaughter of Golden Crocodile Douluo Jin Tianyue.
Jin Tianyue, Yue'er.
The girl was a few months older than Hu Liena and had been cultivating on her own under the protection of Golden Crocodile Douluo, without joining the Spirit Hall Academy.
Hu Liena's Ascension consumed 30% of Luo Chen's Ascended Power.
Originally, the ultimate Ascension required 50%, but because it was upgraded once before, the requirement was reduced by 20%.
As for Jin Tianyue.
The little girl already possessed the top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Golden Crocodile.
Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't have high hopes for Ascension. His original intention was for his granddaughter to obtain the same Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul as him, so that he could pass on his family's Tyrannical Domain.
However, during the inspection, Luo Chen discovered that Jin Tianyue's potential was not limited to this.
In terms of feedback from the Sun Disc...
Hu Liena's aptitude is above average, but not high enough to qualify her for God-Level Martial Soul.
Jin Tianyue's talent was slightly inferior to Hu Liena's, but her Martial Soul potential surpassed the category of Super Martial Soul, barely reaching the standard of Ultimate Martial Soul.
Even if it's only slightly beyond that, even with the Ultimate Martial Soul, the Ultimate Attribute might still be the weakest among its kind.
But the ultimate is the ultimate; when facing any Martial Soul that is not the ultimate, it has an overwhelming advantage.
Therefore, Luo Chen did not hesitate and directly completed the evolution of Jin Tianyue's Martial Soul Evolution from top-level to ultimate.
[ Golden Holy Crocodile Dragon ]
Type: Beast Martial Soul
Quality: Ultimate Martial Soul
Attribute: Ultimate Power
After deciding to grant Jin Tianyue Ascension, Luo Chen chose to go all the way and gave the little girl the part of the Dragon King Origin that he had obtained from Yu Xiaogang but no longer needed.
Thus, the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul, which could only produce more Ultimate Attribute, was directly transformed into a dragon seed.
The enormous Golden Crocodile grew four pairs of wings, like a dragon from Western mythology, exuding domineering majesty, yet also carrying a hint of ferocity and cruelty.
The quality of the Golden Holy Crocodile Dragon Martial Soul is in no way inferior to Hu Liena's Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, making it a top-tier existence among dragon-type Martial Soul.
I still remember that time.
Upon seeing the Ascension results, Golden Crocodile Douluo was overcome with emotion and tears streamed down his face.
The nearly 200-year-old man made Jin Tianyue kneel before Luo Chen, and then made the girl swear an oath of allegiance to Luo Chen, recognizing him as her master.
'In this life and the next, I will never betray you.'
Luo Chen did not refuse, because he was entitled to receive this courtesy.
Serving the Spirit Hall is filial piety; following Luo Chen is righteousness.
By doing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo preserved his loyalty to the Spirit Hall and also fulfilled Luo Chen's great kindness.
I am getting old, but Jin Tianyue is still young.
Golden Crocodile Douluo once swore to dedicate everything to the Spirit Hall, but that was his business and had nothing to do with Jin Tianyue.
Jin Tianyue did not object to her grandfather's choice either.
Having witnessed the unimaginably magnificent the Star Forger Jin Tianyue, transformed from Luo Chen, in the Martial Soul Space, Jin Tianyue, who possessed an inherent arrogance, was completely won over by Luo Chen.
The immense kindness of being given a new lease on life, coupled with this domineering aura that the young girl found hard to contain.
Jin Tianyue: 'I'm sticking with this man!'
Luo Chen didn't feel anything special about the little girl's approval.
Wang Sheng, however, almost lost his composure upon seeing Jin Tianyue, thinking that Luo Chen had abandoned him.
Wang Sheng: 'Oh no, something's wrong with this woman!'
Because of Jin Tianyue's appearance, Wang Sheng felt unprecedented pressure.
Xiao Yue'er's senses were equally sharp, and she immediately noticed Wang Sheng's presence.
'Stinky tiger!'
'Mother Renekton!'
Following Hu Liena and Qian Renxue, another pair of sworn enemies have appeared in the team.
Furthermore, from that day onward, Golden Crocodile Douluo officially became a staunch supporter of Luo Chen's status as the successor to the Pope.
The Second Worship is now eager for Luo Chen to grow up quickly so that he can drive Bibi Dong away.
Yes, Golden Crocodile Douluo still dislikes Bibi Dong.
It's no exaggeration to say that if Luo Chen were to rise up in rebellion one day, Golden Crocodile would absolutely respond to the call without hesitation.
Golden Crocodile Douluo: ' Bibi Dong, you are unworthy of your position. This Pope throne belongs to Xiao Chen!'
If it weren't for Luo Chen mediating, Bibi Dong would probably have beaten Golden Crocodile Douluo half to death.
Fortunately, Golden Crocodile Douluo knew his limits.
He may verbally resent Bibi Dong's rule, but once Bibi Dong issues an order in the name of the Pope, Golden Crocodile Douluo will not show the slightest negligence.
Because upholding Bibi Dong's authority is tantamount to upholding Luo Chen's right of succession and legitimacy.
Only with Bibi Dong as Pope can Luo Chen, Bibi Dong's disciple, rightfully succeed to the throne.
Of course, this also reflects the intentions of Qian Daoliu- ryu.
Golden Crocodile Douluo is very loyal to the Qian Family, and he also hopes that Qian Renxue will find a good home.
Therefore, with the combined advantages of being the Pope's disciple and marrying into the Qian Family family, Luo Chen directly gained the approval of all the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall.
The Papal Palace, the Elder Hall, and the Worship Hall are now Luo Chen's personal fiefdom.
Although he was only seven years old, no one treated him like a child.
The changes in the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall over the past year have been witnessed by all its high-ranking members, who are well aware of the reasons behind these advancements.
"Let the Second Worship in."
After Bibi Dong issued this order, she vaguely guessed the purpose of the Golden Crocodile's visit.
'Unfortunately, it's not the right time yet.'
Recalling Luo Chen's excellence in her mind, Bibi Dong, who was resting with her eyes closed, felt extremely comfortable. "I really want the whole world to know about Xiao Chen's abilities."
She didn't care about the Pope's position and power at all.
If it weren't for concerns about Luo Chen's safety, exposing his existence too early would have been detrimental to the child.
Otherwise, even if Bibi Dong were to abdicate right now, she wouldn't utter a single complaint.
At worst, she can rule from behind the curtain for a few years.
With her teacher as a safety net, Bibi Dong was confident in ensuring Luo Chen's safety.
" Your His Holiness the Pope, this matter cannot be rushed."
Chrysanthemum Douluo also wanted to show off Luo Chen to others.
The current situation is that, apart from the higher-ups, no one in the Spirit Hall knows anything about Luo Chen.
Not to mention the Martial Soul Sacred Hall, the main hall, and the branch halls below.
Even within Spirit City, only experts at the Titled Douluo level have this qualification.
"I know."
Bibi Dong would never do such a thing.
Just as she was about to say something more, a presence appeared outside the Papal Palace.
"Alright."
Bibi Dong sat upright, adopting the most dignified posture. " Second Worship, what brings you here?"
Over the course of the year, Bibi Dong's relationship with the Worship Hall, while not exactly close, was no longer as hostile as before.
"Greetings, Your His Holiness the Pope."
On a formal occasion, out of respect for Luo Chen, Golden Crocodile Douluo bowed to Bibi Dong.
Beside him was a little girl of about seven or eight years old. She had long, dark blonde hair tied in a ponytail and looked very energetic and vibrant.
" Pope, Your Holiness."
Even upon arriving at the Papal Palace, Jin Tianyue still looked around with curiosity in front of Bibi Dong.
This was her first time in the main hall of the Papal Palace. In the past, she would follow Qian Renxue through other passages or go directly to the top floor to play with Luo Chen.
"Um."
Bibi Dong did not blame Jin Tianyue for his rude behavior.
Unlike Golden Crocodile Douluo, the stunningly beautiful Pope did not dislike Jin Tianyue; on the contrary, she liked him very much.
This girl is outgoing, carefree, and guileless.
Aside from being a bit rough, there's basically nothing wrong with it.
Since Jin Tianyue received Luo Chen's Ascension half a year ago, the little girl has entered the Spirit Hall Academy just like Qian Renxue.
She was assigned to Luo Chen's class, directly completing the seven-person team with the last member.
Someone in the higher-ups gave this team a nickname: the ' Golden Generation '.
" The Second Worship brought Yue'er here today, could it be..."
"Not bad, Yue'er broke through level 20 today."
Golden Crocodile Douluo said, "I heard that the Pope is preparing to Soul Hunting rings. Is that true?"
"What do you want?"
"I wish to travel with you."
"Um."
Bibi Dong had no reason to refuse. "Okay."
After all, he was a level 98 expert who had taken a half-step in refining his Second Soul Core.
Not only has Luo Chen's safety level been greatly improved, but it has also greatly helped him in dealing with emergencies.
" Your His Holiness the Pope!"
Just then, Gui Mei figure suddenly appeared. He glanced at Golden Crocodile Douluo in surprise, but the words he was about to say were cut off.
"There are no outsiders here. If there's anything urgent, please speak freely."
Bibi Dong's principle in life is: if you treat me with respect, I will repay you with even greater respect.
With Golden Crocodile Douluo showing such respect, how could Bibi Dong be petty?
The Papal Palace and the Worship Hall will both be used by Luo Chen in the future, and Bibi Dong cannot ruin the relationship that her disciple has worked so hard to restore.
However, Golden Crocodile Douluo clearly had no interest in this.
Having achieved his goal, he prepared to leave with his granddaughter.
"Yes!"
The Gui Mei said, "We've discovered traces of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
"What?!"
Bibi Dong rose from the Pope throne, even causing the Golden Crocodile Douluo to stop in his tracks. " Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo already possessed all nine Soul Ring, and he had no interest in Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Moreover, once he reaches a certain level of strength, things like Soul Ring and Soul Bone will no longer be of much help to him.
" Bibi Dong, if the information is true, then we must capture this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo: "If needed, I am willing to lend you a hand!"
"Oh? The Second Worship is willing to help?"
Bibi Dong thought of the Soul Bone of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, which was a treasure as precious as Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
You know what I mean.
Golden Crocodile Douluo said, "That child is physically weak. A 100,000-year-old Soul Bone can just make up for his congenital deficiency..."
Because of Jin Tianyue's rebirth, the Second Worship already regarded Luo Chen as his own grandson.
He had always wanted to repay Luo Chen.
Finally, the opportunity arrived.
