"Divine punishment was real!"
"No... that's impossible! How could something like that really happen?"
"What on earth happened in the future... why did divine punishment descend?"
"Thirteen years. In another thirteen years, will our levels be reset to zero?"
"No wonder that Wu Wei went mad. I'd go mad too if it were me..."
"..."
Terrified discussion instantly turned the skies above the entire Douluo Continent upside down.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape, who had excitedly smashed half a mountain to pieces moments ago, suddenly froze.
His deep, booming roar was full of disbelief. "Wait! All beings are equal? Does that mean the divine punishment includes our Soul Beast Clan too?"
Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python, sank his enormous body beneath the water, his dragon eyes dark with gloom. "If divine punishment really descends, how could it only punish humans? Great. Tens of thousands of years of cultivation, gone just like that."
Er Ming let out a roar that nearly overturned the heavens. "Why should we be punished? Who did we ever provoke?"
Meanwhile, in the Pope's Hall at Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong stared at the image in the sky of the future Wu Wei laughing after his level was reset. Her nails nearly dug into the wood of her scepter, and the chill seeping between her fingers almost froze the entire hall. "Divine punishment is real. In the future, everyone's level will be reset to zero..."
When that happened, all her efforts would go down the drain. Even Bibi Dong, composed as she was, was so furious that her chest heaved.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, standing below her, did not dare breathe loudly.
They were just as angry and afraid of the future divine punishment.
But right now, they were more afraid of Bibi Dong.
"It's real? Will the same thing happen to Xiao Xue in the future?"
Qian Daoliu panicked too.
Would Qian Renxue have become a god thirteen years from now?
If not, once her level was reset, Qian Renxue would have to cultivate all over again and would have practically no hope of obtaining the Angel God's inheritance.
At that moment, on the grounds of the junior Soul Master Academy, Wu Wei looked at his future self laughing wildly in the sky, his eyes filled with shock.
"Holy crap!"
"Something that huge actually happened in the future?"
Wu Wei really had not seen that coming.
This was huge, wasn't it?
Divine punishment! What on earth happened in the future? Who brought divine punishment down upon them?
"There's no way I'd go mad. My mental fortitude is rock-solid. My future self was genuinely laughing!"
He had heard the people around him saying that the future Wu Wei had gone mad, and of course he could not admit it.
Besides, Wu Wei could guarantee one hundred percent that he could never go mad.
As for why his future self could still laugh after his level was reset?
That's obviously because everyone else had it worse...
You could tell from the scene that the final battle wasn't over yet. Tang San, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue, all three gods, were still there.
If everyone's level was reset, then their levels were reset too!
Everyone's back at the starting line. How could I not be happy?
My future self managed to reach level 84 at nineteen. If I do it all over again, I'll definitely be faster!
Wu Wei was secretly amused.
Never mind his future self.
Even now, just thinking about Tang San, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue all having their levels reset in the future made him want to laugh.
And it was not just the three of them whose levels would be reset, but everyone.
Including that whole Shrek bunch!
Wait...
But Wu Wei suddenly thought of something, and his expression stiffened slightly.
This is divine punishment. Can it punish Tang San and the others when they've already become gods?
Wu Wei suddenly wondered if he had been happy too soon.
Buzz-
As if in response to Wu Wei's concern,
the sky changed.
The image shifted from Wu Wei to Jialing Pass.
It then quickly shifted to Bibi Dong, the ruler of the Spirit Hall Empire.
"It's Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall!"
"She's so beautiful!"
"Her Holiness looks so powerful!"
"I wonder if we'll be able to see an attribute card for the Pope too. I really want to know how powerful she is..."
"..."
Everyone beneath the sky cried out in surprise, their attention drawn at once.
Bibi Dong in Spirit Hall fixed her eyes on her future self in the sky immediately.
She wanted to know what had become of her in the future.
Wu Wei also immediately stared at Bibi Dong in the sky.
He wanted to know whether Bibi Dong, who had already become the Rakshasa God, would be subject to divine punishment.
The sky did not disappoint.
As the view zoomed in on Bibi Dong, an attribute panel appeared above her head.
[Name: Bibi Dong] [Age: xx] [Cultivation: level 100 (Rakshasa God)] [Soul ring configuration: Death Spider Emperor (yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red ) Soul Devouring Spider Emperor (black, black, black, black, black, black, red, black, black) divine ring: golden (Rakshasa golden divine ring, shared by both Martial Souls)]
Below the sky, everyone's eyes were glued to the attribute card above Bibi Dong's head.
"What's that?"
"Level 100?"
"Is that real? Someone actually became a god at level 100?"
"How could it be fake? Can't you see it clearly says Rakshasa God?"
"The Pope of Spirit Hall actually became a god in the future..."
"That's incredible..."
At Spirit Hall headquarters, everyone knelt.
"Her Holiness became a god!"
"Rakshasa God! Her Holiness is the Rakshasa God!"
"Long live the Spirit Hall Empire!"
The cheers rose in waves, each louder than the last.
Bibi Dong sat on the papal throne, her chest heaving as she looked at her own attribute card in the sky.
Level 100.
Rakshasa God.
Two sets of nine rings, and a divine ring.
She had done it. She had really done it.
The corners of Bibi Dong's lips slowly rose. Much of the gloom in her eyes faded, replaced by an almost maniacal pride.
"I... became a god." Her voice was soft, but the entire hall heard it clearly. "Thirteen years from now, I am already the Rakshasa God."
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo knelt below her, trembling all over with excitement.
Ghost Douluo's voice shook. "Congratulations, Your Holiness! Congratulations, Your Holiness!" Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted after him, "May the Spirit Hall Empire endure for all ages!"
Bibi Dong ignored them.
She continued to gaze greedily at herself in the sky. That was the Rakshasa God. Her future self had truly succeeded.
"Hahaha..."
Bibi Dong could not help laughing with delight.
"Good, good, good! My future self really did it!"
Bibi Dong burst out laughing.
"What divine punishment? Since my future self is already the Rakshasa God, naturally I have nothing to fear!"
"Divine punishment is a punishment sent down by gods. There's no way it would fall on me."
She was no longer worried about divine punishment descending in the future!
