" The Holy Son?"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly.
He just returned and already inherited the Holy Son? Qian Daoliu is really underestimating himself!
They didn't even bother to discuss it; they just sent someone to notify us.
No, I need to go to the Elder Hall and have a proper talk with them myself.
She acknowledged Gu Wuchen's strength, believing he was fully capable of becoming Holy Son, but she did not approve of Qian Daoliu's methods.
They immediately set off for the Elder Hall.
Elder Hall at this moment.
Bo Saixi gracefully took her seat, while Gu Wuchen initially wanted to sit elsewhere, but was repeatedly instructed to sit next to her.
" Suwei said that you have to listen to me outside, understand?" Bo Saixi said.
"Auntie, now that you're all here in the Douluo Continent, why don't you go explore somewhere else? I have things to do."
Gu Wuchen looked displeased.
Bo Saixi laughed and said, "No, I have to keep an eye on you, otherwise I won't feel at ease. Besides, I'll go wherever you go, isn't that enough?"
Gu Wuchen:???
Okay, that's it.
In the Sea of Consciousness.
Snow Empress was furious. "That wretched Bo Saixi, what is she pretending for? I really want to beat her up."
I'm so angry, yet they pretend to be doing it for Little Wuchen's own good.
The atmosphere Elder Hall was solemn and dignified.
The seven retainers took their seats in turn on the high platform in the center of the hall. Golden Crocodile Douluo sat first to Qian Daoliu's left, followed by Azure Luan, Lion, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo Subduer.
All eyes were on Gu Wuchen, who was standing below.
Qian Daoliu stood up, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, and his voice booming:
"I have gathered you all here today to announce two important matters. First, Gu Wuchen has successfully inherited the Sea God Nine Trials. At the same time, he is also the inheritor of the Ice God Nine Trials, thus holding Dual Godhood."
As soon as the words were spoken, Azure Luan Douluo and the others widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
" Dual Godhood? How is that possible!" Mighty Lion Douluo suddenly stood up, his voice trembling slightly.
"I have never heard of anyone being able to inherit two Godhood at the same time!" said the Light Feather Douluo.
Qian Daoliu raised his hand and gestured for everyone to be quiet:
"This is absolutely true; Bo Saixi, the High Priest of Sea God Island, can testify to it."
Following Qian Daoliu's gaze, everyone noticed the woman sitting next to Gu Wuchen.
She wore a long, pale blue dress, exuding a sacred and dignified aura. A faint ocean scent surrounded her, and just sitting there, she emanated a chilling pressure.
"So this is the High Priest!"
"No wonder I sensed something was off earlier, it turns out it's Peerless Douluo!"
The six worshippers rose and bowed slightly to Bo Saixi, their voices filled with reverence.
Qian Daoliu continued:
"The second thing is that Gu Wuchen has exceptional talent and possesses the inheritance of two gods. He is a genius that our Spirit Hall has not seen in ten thousand years."
I have decided to appoint Gu Wuchen as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, placing him above all elders and second only to me. Does anyone have any objections?
We have no objections!
The six priests spoke in unison.
The Dual Godhood Inheritance Inheritor is truly deserving of the title of Holy Son.
Let alone just being established as Holy Son, they wouldn't have any objections even if he were made Pope right now.
Just then, the door to the main hall was suddenly pushed open.
Bibi Dong, dressed in a Pope robe, walked in, exuding an aura of coldness, her tone icy:
" Great Enshrined, how could you not consult me about such an important matter?"
She was initially furious, but when she entered the main hall and saw all seven worshippers there, her expression changed slightly.
Upon seeing Bo Saixi sitting next to Gu Wuchen, and feeling the unfathomable pressure of Peerless Douluo, his pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
How could Bo Saixi, the high priestess of Sea God Island, be at the Spirit Hall?
Before the seven elders could speak, Bo Saixi, seated in the corner, fixed her cold eyes on Bibi Dong:
" Your His Holiness the Pope, do you have any objection to Chen'er inheriting the position of Holy Son?"
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
The seven worshippers remained silent.
With such a high priest to vouch for her, Bibi Dong would surely not dare to act recklessly, no matter what ideas she had.
"Of course I wouldn't dare, but for something so important, I naturally agree. However, it's a bit inappropriate for the Great Enshrined to only come to me to inform me, isn't it? I am, after all, the Pope," Bibi Dong said.
Bo Saixi ignored Bibi Dong's explanation and simply said, " Qian Daoliu go and inform you. I remember the Spirit Hall is named Qian, not Bi, right?"
His cold and indifferent tone dealt a tremendous blow to Bibi Dong.
Apart from Qian Daoliu, the other six retainers all nodded slightly.
As expected of the High Priest, he speaks with such conviction.
"High Priest, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to humiliate me?" Bibi Dong said angrily.
Bo Saixi chuckled lightly, "Humiliate you? Heh, you're overthinking it. I'm just stating the facts."
"All the Pope have the surname Qian, so how could an outsider have succeeded them?"
Just as Bibi Dong was about to lose her temper, Qian Daoliu spoke up:
" Bibi Dong, step down. As for Wuchen inheriting the position of Holy Son, that was my decision. Besides, Wuchen inherited Dual Godhood. Can you do that?"
Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Bibi Dong's anger dissipated by more than half, and she was somewhat incredulous.
" Dual Godhood?" Bibi Dong thought she had misheard.
Qian Daoliu said, "That's right, it's Dual Godhood."
Bibi Dong gasped, and the chill that had enveloped her body instantly dissipated.
She stared intently at Gu Wuchen, her eyes filled with disbelief.
In order to gain the approval of the Rakshasa God, she endured unimaginable suffering and remained in hiding for decades before barely touching the threshold of Godhood status.
But this young man before us has effortlessly inherited the Godhood of both the Sea God and the Ice God.
This enormous gap stirred up an indescribable sense of resentment, envy, and jealousy within her.
She finally understood why Bo Saixi had left Sea God Island.
This high priest's life's mission was to protect the Sea God Inheritance.
For Gu Wuchen, she not only broke her vow to never leave Sea God Island, but was even willing to come to the Spirit Hall in person to support him.
"I see." Bibi Dong spoke slowly, her voice now calm, though a hint of coldness lingered in the depths of her eyes. "No wonder the High Priest came in person; it was for the Sea God Inheritance."
Qian Daoliu said calmly, "The position of Holy Son is well-deserved, and there is no room for discussion."
Bibi Dong did not refute further.
She knew that with seven elders and Bo Saixi Peerless Douluo on Gu Wuchen's side, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn't change the outcome.
Breaking off relations with them now will do me no good.
She raised her head, her gaze sweeping coldly over Bo Saixi, and said, word by word:
"I've remembered what the High Priest just said."
After saying that, she looked away from everyone, turned around, and strode out of the Elder Hall.
Her Pope robes trailed on the ground, swaying gently with her steps, leaving behind a solitary and proud silhouette as she disappeared through the hall's entrance.
Silence returned to the main hall.
Bo Saixi picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and acted as if nothing had happened.
She looked at Gu Wuchen, a faint smile playing on her lips:
"See? With your aunt around, no one will dare to bully you."
