In the Douluo World, when the Shrek Seven Devils had defeated Spirit Hall,
and Bibi Dong had died at Tang San's hands,
at the moment the disappointed Qian Renxue fled Jialing Pass in defeat,
Bibi Dong's soul plunged into the abyss, reaching the dark side of Douluo, where the Underworld lay.
After receiving special consideration, Bibi Dong, wearing a curious expression, followed White Impermanence Yue Guan through the passage between the Underworld and the Douluo World!
Thorns crowded the road, which was thick with Yin Qi. The eerie surroundings instead piqued the curiosity of Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall.
Her gaze fell on Yue Guan's figure before her.
Clad in white mourning robes, Yue Guan seemed to sense Bibi Dong watching him and spoke.
"Your Holiness, please rest assured. Our Spirit Hall still has a chance."
As soon as Yue Guan spoke in his refined, aristocratic tones, he dispelled the greatest doubt in Bibi Dong's heart.
With that, Yue Guan said no more,
but Bibi Dong was already filled with confidence.
So that's how it is. It seems my Spirit Hall still has a chance.
Bibi Dong whispered to herself, carefully taking in the various sights along the way.
The fully developed Underworld was already teeming with ghost officials of every kind.
They steadily carried out orders from above, escorting souls, apprehending evil spirits, and even expanding the Underworld's borders!
How could Bibi Dong restrain her urge to look around in such novel surroundings, even though she didn't know whom she was going to meet next?
But there was one thing she was certain of!
This person must look very favorably upon my Spirit Hall!
Bibi Dong had drawn that conclusion from White Impermanence Yue Guan.
By then, the two had crossed half the Underworld and arrived in Fengdu City!
The futuristic Fengdu City left Bibi Dong somewhat taken aback.
Soul-guided maglev trains came toward her, their lines crisscrossing the whole of Fengdu City.
Countless souls moved among the towering buildings!
Voices from the buildings' advertising screens reached her ears.
"Fengdu City welcomes all ghostly talents to settle here. The Underworld will take any and all talented people!"
"The latest Fengdu City Underworld civil service exam is about to begin. If you're looking for a prep course, choose Changfeng Future!"
"According to the latest report from official Underworld media, the war in the mortal world is about to end, and population growth in the Underworld will slow..."
The fantastical cyberpunk metropolis left Bibi Dong at a loss!
"Th-this..."
Bibi Dong stopped in her tracks, and for the first time, panic appeared on her face!
But before Yue Guan could comfort her, that rare panic vanished from her face in an instant!
As a pope, she found it especially easy to remain calm!
"So this is how it is? This is the world after death!"
"It's so much better than the world of the living!"
Having accepted everything without difficulty, Bibi Dong looked around Fengdu City.
Yue Guan hadn't expected his pope to accept it all so quickly.
But it also made Yue Guan realize that his pope was certainly not a stubborn person. They could probably serve at the same court from now on.
With those thoughts in mind, Yue Guan quickly led Bibi Dong onward.
After taking a special Fengdu City taxi, the two headed straight for Fengdu Grand Hall at the very center of the city.
Before long, they reached Fengdu Grand Hall.
As soon as she got out, Bibi Dong was still mulling over the sights she had seen along the way, as well as the soul-guided vehicle that had amazed her.
"I never imagined Soul Tools could develop this far. It seems I really did underestimate them before."
Along the way, Bibi Dong had already discovered the secret of Fengdu City.
The Soul Guidance Arrays throughout Fengdu City had made her realize at once
that the whole of Fengdu City was one enormous Soul Tool!
As the Pope, she was no ignoramus. Once she understood it all, she marveled at the power of Soul Tools.
Soon, guided by White Impermanence Yue Guan, Bibi Dong entered Fengdu Grand Hall.
Chen Yuan, who had long been waiting in the hall, looked toward its entrance.
Sitting upright on the throne of the Great Emperor of Fengdu, Chen Yuan wore purple-black divine robes. His solemn face radiated divine majesty, as overwhelming as a prison, and his presence filled the entire hall.
Purple-black divine power of Fengdu seeped into the air as Chen Yuan's mood fluctuated. Golden lines embroidered image after image of evil spirits on his divine robes.
As divine power filled them, they seemed to pour out of the robes, so lifelike that no one dared look directly at them.
At that moment, Bibi Dong, too, lowered her once-noble head.
She found herself afraid. The unfathomable being before her was filling her entire being with fear.
How is this possible? How could such a powerful being exist in this world?
Before the astonished Bibi Dong had time to reflect, Chen Yuan's voice reached her ears.
After observing her for some time, Chen Yuan had finally made his decision.
Since this Pope of Spirit Hall had become a member of the Underworld, he should naturally give him treatment worthy of him.
"Bibi Dong, are you willing to become Meng Po of my Underworld?"
Bibi Dong had long known the only possible outcome of her visit. When she heard Chen Yuan's offer,
she agreed without hesitation, even as she wondered about the position of Meng Po.
She knew she had no choice!
White Impermanence, standing at the side, also spoke softly. "Congratulations, Your Holiness, on winning the Great Emperor's favor. From now on, you and I will serve at the same court."
Only from White Impermanence's words did Bibi Dong learn Chen Yuan's title.
The instant she agreed, Chen Yuan, seated on the throne, gave a light wave of his hand. The divine authority of the Underworld gathered, and a divine position took shape before Bibi Dong.
The familiar sensation immediately reminded Bibi Dong of her shattered Rakshasa God position.
"That's not right?"
Surprise appeared on Bibi Dong's face once more, leaving her speechless!
The next second, the newly formed divine position of Meng Po entered Bibi Dong's body,
like a shooting star, setting her transformation in motion!
As divine power poured into her, Bibi Dong received the inherited memories of Meng Po's divine position. Everything about Meng Po surfaced in her mind.
Before long, Bibi Dong completed her transformation, now clad in red divine robes.
The flowing River of Forgetfulness and the forms of red spider lilies were embroidered upon them. The divine power swirling around Bibi Dong activated the patterns, making her seem especially unfathomable for a time!
The familiar power grew stronger once more, and the corners of Bibi Dong's lips rose. She bowed respectfully to Chen Yuan.
"I, your subject Bibi Dong, thank the Great Emperor for granting me a new life."
With every word, only Bibi Dong knew best the heartache and bitter tears.
Hearing this, Chen Yuan nodded with satisfaction from his throne.
"From now on, there is no Pope Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall, only Meng Po Bibi Dong."
At the sound of his voice, each word carrying the force of heavenly law, Bibi Dong accepted her new position.
At that very moment, as Bibi Dong gained a new life, Chen Yuan's gaze crossed the vast reaches of the Underworld and the dark side, landing directly on Douluo Star.
Above the Douluo Continent, where peace had just been restored, a heavenly screen quietly swept across the sky.
The pitch-black screen immediately drew the attention of everyone on the continent.
As their gazes turned toward it, a voice rang out from the heavenly screen!
The magnificent voice, seemingly from a higher dimension, swept across all of Douluo Star.
[The heavenly screen ranking begins. Now commencing the countdown of the ten strongest deities of Douluo. Everyone on the list will receive a reward!]
