"Great Enshriner, please reconsider!" The moment Golden Crocodile Douluo heard that he could agree to this, he could no longer sit still.
If they agreed to Bibi Dong's condition, how was that any different from handing Spirit Hall directly over to Bibi Dong?!
The only difference was that they Enshriners could still restrain her to some extent.
But they could only restrain her when it came to certain major decisions.
With Worship Hall thus restricted, if Bibi Dong had ambitions, all she needed was to cultivate a little power of her own, and Spirit Hall would change hands.
Xiao Xue was now the Qian Family's only direct bloodline. Spirit Hall belonged to Young Master Xiao Xue.
She was still underage. As Young Master Xiao Xue's god-grandfathers and adoptive uncles,
they had the duty to safeguard Spirit Hall for Xiao Xue and ensure that it was smoothly handed over to her once she came of age.
They all knew of Bibi Dong's wolfish ambitions.
If they let her run unchecked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Golden Crocodile Douluo wanted to persuade the Great Enshriner again, to make him retract his decision.
But Qian Daoliu had already made up his mind.
Compared to Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others, he thought much further ahead.
Even if Bibi Dong truly harbored such intentions, so what?
His granddaughter had been chosen by the Angel God since childhood. She was destined to become a god and ascend to the Divine Realm.
Once she became a god, these things would be nothing more than worldly possessions to her.
Besides, she could not take them with her when she ascended to the Divine Realm.
Furthermore, he had just sensed a trace of divine aura from Bibi Dong.
Though he did not know what god it was, Bibi Dong, like Xiao Xue, was a chosen inheritor of a god.
If she passed the test of godhood in the future, she would ascend to the Divine Realm just like Xiao Xue.
"Second Worship, I have already decided on this matter. Do not try to persuade me any further!"
"She is the Pope. Spirit Hall can be given to her, but we are still Enshriners!"
And they still possessed the authority to depose her.
Qian Daoliu did not say those latter words aloud.
Golden Crocodile Douluo understood what he meant.
So he closed his mouth and said nothing more.
"Please state your third condition!" Having accepted the second condition, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke to Bibi Dong on Qian Daoliu's behalf.
"The third condition..." As she spoke of the third condition, Bibi Dong deliberately drew out her words, her gaze shifting to Qian Renxue, who was protected behind Qian Daoliu and the others.
"My third condition is that I want her to go undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire."
"I know that the Angel Suit contains a spirit bone capable of disguising one's appearance, Soul Power, and martial spirit."
"So I want her to go to the Heaven Dou Empire and kill its crown prince—Xue Qinghe—then use that Disguise Angel Spirit Bone to disguise herself as the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"When the time is right in the future, have the Heaven Dou Empire merge into Spirit Hall, allowing Spirit Hall to advance into the Spirit Hall Empire."
"Once Spirit Hall annexes the Heaven Dou Empire, it will possess the Heaven Dou Empire's national strength."
"Then, making use of our soul master advantage and the Heaven Dou Empire's national strength, we can dispatch troops against the Star Luo Empire with lightning speed and take down the Star Luo Empire in one stroke, unifying the Douluo Continent."
"The Spirit Hall Empire will become the only empire on the Douluo Continent."
"Then the carts will share the same tracks, the writing the same script, conduct the same standards, territories the same borders, measurements the same scale, and currency will circulate throughout the realm!"
War meant death. Once everyone was dead, I could inherit the Rakshasa God's divine position.
Bibi Dong did not conceal her ambition in the slightest. A mad glint flickered in her eyes.
The peerless bearing and absolute dominance of a female emperor faintly emerged from her.
They knew Bibi Dong was ambitious, but they had never imagined that her ambitions would be so immense.
Immense enough to inspire terror.
Upon hearing this, even Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had lived for over one hundred and fifty years and seen all manner of grand scenes,
could not help but sharply suck in a breath.
Bibi Dong's ambitions had completely exceeded his expectations and slipped beyond his control.
Qing Luan Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, Thousand Jin Douluo, and Demon Subduing Douluo all changed expression in shock, their brows tightly furrowed.
Only now did they finally understand just how great this woman Bibi Dong's ambitions truly were.
So great that they were terrifying.
Her frailty was merely a disguise. Who could have known that such a seemingly delicate woman
possessed such towering ambitions?
Even they had never dared harbor ambitions like these.
Upon her, they could faintly see the peerless bearing of a future female emperor.
But Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others immediately came back to their senses. Their faces filled with fury as they glared at Bibi Dong.
"Bibi Dong, do not push your luck!"
Qian Daoliu let out a cold snort. His rage could no longer be contained, and fierce flames burned in his eyes.
His entire body was enveloped in killing intent as pure, vast Angel Spirit Power erupted from him.
It pressed down on Bibi Dong, as though he wanted to take her life on the spot.
He had thought she would retain at least a shred of maternal feeling.
After carrying her for ten months, blood was thicker than water. No matter how deep her hatred,
Qian Renxue was still flesh of her flesh, born from her womb.
But he had never imagined that Bibi Dong would be so utterly heartless...
He had lost, and lost completely.
Since Bibi Dong had no humanity, he could no longer concern himself with so much.
He did not want to consider so much, did not want to think so much.
Even if, after Qian Renxue became a god in the future, she had no family at her side and no one behind her, ascending alone to the Divine Realm in solitude,
today, he would still take the life of this coldhearted woman, Bibi Dong.
To drive the ever-composed Qian Daoliu to such a state, Bibi Dong truly had skill and nerve.
"How can you be so vicious and cruel? Xiao Xue is your daughter, your biological daughter!"
"You actually want her to become an undercover agent. Don't you know that going undercover is extremely dangerous?
One careless mistake and she could be exposed—and lose her life!"
The surging Angel Spirit Power flooded toward Bibi Dong and sent her flying again.
The injuries Bibi Dong had only just stabilized were sent right back to where they had been by Qian Daoliu's furious blow.
"Pfft!"
Her body swayed back half a step, and Bibi Dong spat out another mouthful of blood.
Wiping the blood from the corner of her lips, Bibi Dong showed no sign of weakness.
She had her own reasoning.
"Precisely because she is my daughter, my biological daughter,
I make such demands of her and hold her to strict standards.
If it were anyone else, I would not give a damn about her!"
"I have my own reasons for doing this. As the Angel God's inheritor, Xiao Xue needs more tempering and training!"
"And going undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire is the best way to temper her.
It can temper her mind and make her unbreakable, without a single weakness anywhere on her body!"
"You...!"
Qian Daoliu gritted his teeth, yet he could not find any point with which to refute Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's sophistry did carry a sliver of reason.
If Qian Renxue remained in Spirit Hall, she would be well protected beneath their wings.
A bird raised beneath wings that had never seen the winds and storms outside would be unable to survive once it left its nest.
A flower raised in a greenhouse could not survive in the wild either.
"I do not agree. It is too dangerous..." Qian Daoliu gritted his teeth but still refused.
"We do not agree either. Going undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire is far too dangerous.
One careless mistake could expose her.
Once she is exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"Besides, Xiao Xue has never left Spirit Hall since she was little. She does not understand how treacherous people outside can be.
What if she suffers losses or gets deceived after being sent out into the world?"
Following Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo also spoke up to reject Bibi Dong's condition.
