After the Rakshasa God steadied herself.
"I'll concede you won, but you need to ask your little sweetheart whose divine position he's inheriting."
She was very curious which god had sought out Bai Guyue.
Bibi Dong was puzzled. "Is that important?"
"Of course it's important." The Rakshasa God's tone grew emphatic. "Do you think there's no hierarchy in the Divine Realm?"
"Tell me about it?" Bibi Dong really did want to know.
"Let me tell you, then."
The Rakshasa God began to explain.
"From lowest to highest, the Divine Realm has God Officers, Third-Class Deities, Second-Class Deities, First-Level Gods, and above them, God Kings.
"For example, the Angel God and Sea God you know of are also First-Level Gods, not God Kings. There are only five God Kings in the Divine Realm, and each of the five has their own duties. Together, they form the God Realm Committee."
The Rakshasa God felt little fondness for almost any of the gods in the Divine Realm, though she had no particular enmity with them either. The Asura God alone was an exception.
They were mortal enemies. If there was one god she wanted dead, it was the Asura God. Unfortunately, she couldn't beat him, not a chance.
The Asura God was a God King, while she was only a First-Level God.
"So that's how it is."
Bibi Dong now understood the Divine Realm's hierarchy, so she asked meaningfully:
"So what level are you? You're not a Second-Class Deity, are you?"
The Rakshasa God immediately bristled at that, her face flushing red.
"Nonsense! I'm a First-Level God. Aside from God Kings, no one can match me."
"I only mentioned it. Why are you getting so worked up?"
Bibi Dong smiled.
"That's an insult!" The Rakshasa God snorted angrily, then continued, "Divine Artifacts differ in strength too. I'm a First-Level God, so mine only counts as a Divine Artifact. A God King's counts as a Super Divine Artifact."
"Divine Artifacts and Super Divine Artifacts. No wonder your Divine Artifact has such side effects."
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes.
"What do you know? Some First-Level Gods don't even have a Divine Artifact, yet here you are being picky."
The Rakshasa God spoke irritably.
"All right, all right. Hurry up and tell me who the Five Great God Kings are. Maybe my man is inheriting a God King's position."
Bibi Dong couldn't say what she was feeling, but she had a kind of blind confidence in Bai Guyue.
Right, right, right. It was the trust between husband and wife.
"The Five Great God Kings are the Godess of Kindness, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, the God of Evil, and the God of Asura. Those five are the Divine Realm's Five Great God Kings. Remember to tell me after you ask him."
"I won't waste any more time chatting with you."
The Rakshasa God didn't want to talk at all.
If this inheritor ever made her so angry she died, Bibi Dong would probably jump for joy.
"Not a God King, but she certainly has a temper."
Bibi Dong clicked her tongue twice.
She didn't care about the Rakshasa God's attitude. They were only partners, after all, not husband and wife sharing a bed.
She walked over to a mirror and cupped the things on her chest with both hands.
I wonder if Xiao Bai likes them?
Forget it, she wouldn't think about that now. She would go find Xiao Bai and ask him first.
Meanwhile, Bai Guyue began breaking down some of his Soul Skills to experiment with them.
Previously, he had simply focused on speed and accuracy. What would happen if he tried building up power in one spot?
He didn't know the God Trial's criteria, but ordinary, small-scale Soul Skills probably wouldn't do. Otherwise, he could have met the requirement simply by combining his Soul Skills.
For his first attempt, he had to play it safe.
He hadn't been given much time. If he had enough, he could have relaxed and slowly begun researching it, without going to all this trouble.
He thought of his first Soul Skill, Soul-Rending Slash. If it hit an enemy, it could indeed place a killing mark on them. If he condensed his sword intent into that killing mark, could he achieve an instant-shadow effect?
He certainly needed to test that, and Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei seemed to be his only possible test subjects.
Going to Bibi Dong would inevitably be a little uncomfortable. The uncomfortable part, naturally, was that she would ask for a few things. Yue Guan and Gui Mei would certainly be very willing to cooperate.
At such a young age, the moment he opened his eyes, he discovered a figure suddenly standing in front of him.
"Bibi Dong!"
Bai Guyue cried out in fright and nearly fell off the bed.
"Am I that scary?"
Bibi Dong laughed indistinctly.
"I was meditating just now. Why are you so close to me? You could scare someone to death, you know?"
Bai Guyue shot her an annoyed glare.
"What were you meditating about?"
Bibi Dong asked curiously.
"My God Trial. The First Trial requires me to create my own Soul Skill. That's what I was thinking about."
Bai Guyue answered.
"The First Trial is something as simple as creating your own Soul Skill?"
Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised.
With her current experience, if she settled down to it, creating a Soul Skill would be a piece of cake, with no difficulty whatsoever.
It seemed the god behind Bai Guyue's trial must be a great benefactor, to have given him such a simple First Trial.
Unlike her own Rakshasa God Trial, which required her to remain in the Rakshasa Secret Realm and endure every kind of torment. When the pain came, she could only endure it to get through.
If she thought of Bai Guyue during the process, the double torment of pain and pleasure might bring her to a cranial climax.
So under those circumstances, she generally didn't dare experience it.
"The time limit is only one month. How is that simple? I was about to go try it out. What are you doing here at a time like this? Instead of handling your case files, you came running over here."
Bai Guyue gave Bibi Dong a push, got out of bed, and headed outside to prepare for his attempt.
"Don't be like that. With my current experience, I can definitely guide you."
Bibi Dong hurriedly said.
"Forget it. Your Martial Soul is different from mine. Besides, should I turn into a giant spider like you and go stab people?"
Bai Guyue refused.
Their Martial Souls were different, so her guidance wouldn't mean much. At most, she could help with the basics.
It wasn't as though he hadn't heard about this before. He had previously heard Chen Xin boast about the sword techniques he had learned from his father, Chen Jianjun, which were also a kind of Self-Created Soul Skill.
He's so old, yet he still likes to bullshit in front of me.
"You can't put it that way. Let me show you what a Self-Created Soul Skill is!"
Bibi Dong hurried outside.
It was a rare opportunity to show off in front of Bai Guyue.
Bai Guyue looked at Bibi Dong, who had hurried in front of him.
"All right, give it a try!"
"Watch closely."
Bibi Dong released her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul. Her aura began to turn evil, and with an icy gaze, she took aim at a large tree ahead.
"Spider Thorns Fill the Sky!"
In an instant, countless purplish-black spider thorns shot out, piercing straight through the tree ahead. As the venom entered it, the tree fell with a crash.
"Well?"
"The toxin is strong. How did you do that?"
It really was Bai Guyue's first time seeing it. It could absolutely be used to catch an opponent off guard.
Although Bibi Dong was the Pope and rarely fought personally, that didn't mean it would be useless in the future.
"It's simple. I extract the toxin from the essence of my Death Spider Emperor and forge it into spider thorns. Researching this took me quite a bit of time."
