— Chapter 181 —

The sobs in the throne room gradually subsided. Bibi Dong looked down at Qian Renxue in her arms and gently kissed her daughter’s forehead, caressing her loose strands of golden hair.

Qian Renxue felt very embarrassed by her mother’s sudden display of affection, but despite her discomfort, she stayed put and enjoyed the motherly love.

Twenty years without motherly love made her long for it.

There is no way she just went away from this position!

At least, let her enjoy this motherly affection for a while.

However, resentment still lingered in the angel girl’s heart. Although Qian Renxue had given Bibi Dong a chance to repent, she couldn’t simply forget everything her mother had done to her. That would be too easy, and Bibi Dong was fully aware of this.

Determined to show as much affection as possible to her twenty-year-old daughter despite the lateness, Bibi Dong made the effort, even though it felt unnatural to her.

In her mind, a mother would do something like this, and she did without much thought.

Gradually, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong hugged each other enough.

Qian Renxue’s face flushed as she swayed her head away, “Hmph, you’re doing okay for now. I will give you a chance and hope you’re really doing it for real.”

“Don’t let me down, again, mom…”

Bibi Dong looked at her daughter’s side profile and smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, Mom won’t let you down.”

“Well, besides one thing.”

“Last night, I actually promised to marry you to someone. My benefactor, and the one who made me sober.”

“If he didn’t help, perhaps, we never really have this chance to be mother and daughter.” She sighed helplessly. “In fact, you knew him very well.”

“Han Yuan, the little Sage of Dao Academy, as well as the Youngest Spirit King. I think he’s quite handsome and matches you perfectly.”

Qian Renxue was stunned, “There is no way…”

Even though Qian Renxue knew Han Yuan helped her mother, this deal was new to her.

Bibi Dong awkwardly rubbed her cheek and replied, “Well, I wasn’t really in the right state of mind at the time. The sudden liberation gave me so much joy that I made the promise on the spot.”

“Then, again, I tried to give him a 100,000-year-old spirit bone, and he declined with a look of revulsion in his eyes as if this treasure was worthless to him.”

Recalling how adamant she was, to the point of not letting Han Yuan off, despite their ‘intimate’ position, made Bibi Dong internally cringe with shame.

She wished she could bury her face in a hole for doing such a thing.

‘How could she, who was three decades older than the boy, do such a thing to him?’

‘Isn’t this just an old cow eating young grass behavior?’

If the public knew, Bibi Dong’s image would drop instantly.

Bibi Dong coughed in embarrassment, “Given no other choice, I can only promise him to marry you and Nana…”

“I’m sorry, Xue’er. It is Mom’s fault.”

“Ah, by the way, I still decided to give him the spirit bone. I planned to dispatch Elder Chrysanthemum to send the spirit bone.”

“…” Qian Renxue was speechless.

Yet, somehow, she wasn’t surprised inside because she had experienced firsthand how uninterested Han Yuan was in the 100,000-year-old spirit bone, even when the White Angelic Dragon offered it personally.

Han Yuan would rather use the 100,000-year-old spirit bone on his external spirit bone rather than absorb it into his body.

However, this ‘shocking’ news made Qian Renxue think of her chance of getting together with Han Yuan.

Thinking about it, Qian Renxue couldn’t help but blush.

While Han Yuan is ten years younger than her, he fits every standard she wants in a partner: handsome, wise, and finally STRONG!

No, perhaps, only Han Yuan could satisfy Qian Renxue’s desire, and she knew it deep in her heart. She got spoiled hard, and other males couldn’t attract her anymore.

Of course, this is just Qian Renxue’s nature. She has always liked this.

Even in the first book, Miss Angel let Tang San off many times to the point of sabotaging herself because she found him attractive, talented, and strong and thought only she could deserve such a man.

If Han Yuan knew what Qian Renxue was thinking right now, he would have several exclamation marks above his head and exclaimed, “DAMN YOU, LOVE BRAIN!”

“Maybe I can negotiate with him…” Bibi Dong suddenly said.

Qian Renxue snapped at her, “No!”

“I will handle this myself.”

“Also, give me the spirit bone. I will give it to him when I’m back in Heaven Dou Empire.”

“…” Bibi Dong.

‘Why I felt worried for some reason.’

‘Is this my motherly instinct going haywire?’

Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly, “Okay, then.”

Suddenly, a faint blue light appeared in the Worshiper Hall and flashed to the throne room where Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were.

Bibi Dong frowned and burst out with a dark aura as she smacked her hand at the incoming blue light.

BOOM!

She caught the blue light and frowned, “Divine’s aura…”

“But this isn’t an angel…”

“It’s sacred, but not that of an angel.”

Qian Renxue’s expression darkened. Still, before she could say anything out of suspicion, the golden flame burst out from her body and devoured the ‘divine’ blue light.

Gulp!

An audible swallowing sound echoed as Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue stared blankly at the golden flame.

“Yo!” The golden flame greeted them.

“Xue’er, get behind me!” Bibi Dong was ready to blast this golden flame off with her spirit energy.

The golden flame panicked, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down, lady! I am your ally!”

“Look, even your daughter is calm.”

Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Renxue and saw her nodding. “Is that true?”

Qian Renxue patted her forehead and replied, “Yes. This flame is the plane’s consciousness of the Douluo Planet.”

“In short, it is the living spirit of this world.”

“It’s also the one who tells me to ask you for the truth myself.”

“Is that so?” Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly.

‘Damn, you’re a female pope, but so violent!’ The golden flame cursed while trembling.

Cough! Cough!

The golden flame changed the topic, “Anyway, it seems my worry is not unfounded.”

“The blue light I swallowed earlier is the divine will of Poseidon. He took control of the Angel God’s inheritance and trial grounds, even used the Angel God’s residual divine energy to spy on Qian Renxue.”

“What a shady guy.”

“Poseidon?” Bibi Dong grimaced, recalling some memories.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue also has the same reaction.

The golden flame patted its body a few times and stated, “Don’t worry, I have devoured the divine will, and Poseidon won’t get anything valuable from any of you.”

“I have already used a decoy to fool him.”

“It seems Han Yuan’s worry about God interfering with mortals is right, and we have to be wary.”

“Han Yuan knew about this?” Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were shocked.

The golden flame nodded heavily, “Yup, and Han Yuan had been wary all this time because a certain god interfered so much with Douluo Planet.”

“The Son of Corruption is the result of it.”

“Who is this certain god?” Bibi Dong has a pang of discomfort in her heart for some reason.

The golden flame glanced at Bibi Dong as if pitying her, “The truth is, you’re a chess piece of that god, Bibi Dong.”

“Do you know that from the moment you awakened twin martial spirits, you have been monitored and steered into a dark path?”

“Even though indirectly, even people around have been manipulated in a certain way.”

“Are you telling the truth?” Bibi Dong clenched her hand tightly.

The golden flame was silent before replying, “I am the consciousness of the Douluo Planet. I know every past within this plane.”

“Let me ask this, don’t you think your life is too tragic?”

Bibi Dong didn’t reply, but Qian Renxue and the golden flame could see her distress. “Tell me about it.”

The golden flame covered the whole throne room with its sparks and then replied solemnly, “Bibi Dong, you’re actually the candidate of the Son of Destiny, and my chosen Son of Plane before Qian Renxue.”

“Yes, you’re destined for greatness!”

“Unfortunately, you got manipulated too deeply…”

“You’re supposed to have a happy life, becoming the beacon of hope and justice.”

“However, everything took a sharp turn when you met Yu Xiaogang.”

“He suddenly becomes your light, and you can’t stop thinking about him, becoming your obsession for years.”

“He charmed you, and he clung to your heart like a parasite.”

“But all that light needs something to balance it. A hideous darkness.”

“Then, Qian Xunji forced himself on you and made you suffer, causing you to hate everything in the hideous world, except one thing…”

“Yu Xiaogang!”

Bibi Dong’s face paled. “I-I was manipulated.”

“Just a mere chess piece…”

The golden flame sighed, “Yu Xiaogang’s hunger for knowledge and your naive love are ‘indirectly’ steered by Asura God.”

“Of course, Asura did this by fueling Yu Xiaogang with desire and the heart of a thief, wanting to find knowledge to fix his mutated martial soul, and the only accessible source of higher knowledge for that is Spirit Hall.”

“Hated by his clan, he ran away to Spirit Hall and encountered you.”

“A coincidence, but not too much.”

“As for Qian Xunji, he’s also manipulated.” The golden flame hesitated before continuing. “He always regarded you as his daughter, but all that changed when he was so frustrated with your love with Yu Xiaogang, and a dark desire arose in his heart.”

“Normally, such a dark desire disappears easily because Qian Xunji is the possessor of the Seraphim martial soul. Not to mention, he was a title douluo, and cleansing such a thought was as easy as breathing.”

“Yet, in the spur of a moment, that dark desire multiplied many times and made him act beyond the norm.”

“Of course, I’m not saying this to justify his action, he’s still a scum, but there is more to his action…”

“At the end of the day, it is still his desire. He fell for his desire. He did the unforgivable and paid with his life.”

“That’s the end of him.”

Bibi Dong’s hand bled in anger and confusion, ‘So, all my life had been a lie?’

“Mom, don’t lose hope.” Qian Renxue held Bibi Dong’s hand, staring at her with her brilliant purple eyes.

Bibi Dong calmed down and mumbled, “Thank you, Xue’er…”

“Continue!”

The golden flame nodded, “Have you ever wondered why you inherited the Rakshasa God’s inheritance instead of the Asura God, despite having been going to Slaughter City and coming out alive?”

“No…” Bibi Dong answered bluntly.

The golden flame laughed softly, “But wasn’t it convenient? When you need power the most, a god suddenly stretches its hand to you?”

“Was it a god or a devil?”

“Let me tell you a secret, Rakshasa God has fallen, meaning she couldn’t operate her inheritance.”

“Then, who gave you the inheritance?”

‘Asura God!’ Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue thought simultaneously.

“And at the peak of your hatred, the first task you must do is to swallow the Angel, thus activating the Rakshasa God’s inheritance!” The golden flame rubbed some white-tiled floor and burned it to ashes.

“Rakshasa God is the nemesis of Angel God. They are opposites of each other.”

“You’re supposed to be the pillar of Spirit Hall, but you inherited the god of Angel God’s nemesis.”

“Again, another coincidence.”

“Or is it?”

Bibi Dong’s body trembled as she knew well how abnormal she had been acting in the two decades.

She wanted to destroy the Spirit Hall and Angel God’s lineage, wishing to disappear from the face of this world.

Qian Renxue opened her mouth and asked solemnly, “My father, did he get influenced by the one behind Rakshasa God’s inheritance?”

“Mm.” The golden flame nodded heavily. “Then, again, this also happened because the Angel God had fallen.”

“No one protected your lineage…”

“You have seen it yourself, another god’s will somehow gets its way to your Angel God’s most secretive site.”

“It is a phony all along.”

“There is no Angel God, only Sea God, who wishes to take over your lineage and make it his.”

“Two-pronged actions, sneaky and fast. Not one would bat an eyelid if a mad pope fought her daughter and destroyed the oldest holy place on the Douluo Continent.”

“Why did Asura and Poseidon do this?” Qian Renxue was confused.

The golden flame raised its sparks as if raising a finger and answered straightforwardly, “For faith!”

“Sea God has conquered the sea, but it wasn’t enough.”

“He wanted more, and the Douluo Continent has the most prominent faith under Angel God’s reign for the last 10,000 years.”

“It was like a Fat Sheep ready to be taken.”

“And once Spirit Hall is ‘finally’ destroyed, all orders will cease to exist, and chaos will fall upon the land.”

“Poseidon will receive the faith of all peace-seeking living beings by becoming their savior, and Asura will benefit from the chaos.”

“Honestly, I got most of this information from Han Yuan. He had deduced Asura God’s goals to the smallest details, even connected it to Poseidon because they are friends in the Divine Realm. And his interaction with the God of Destruction allowed him to confirm a few things.”

‘Sometimes, I wonder just how much he hates Asura God…’

“If Asura God succeeded, the Douluo Planet would be corrupted beyond recognition.”

“By then, it will become a world of never-ending carnage…” The consciousness of Douluo Planet finished.

“Poseidon, Asura, how dare they? Damned Villains!” Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue gritted their teeth in anger. If they let this happen, everything they had fought for will disappear.

Their reconciliation will be for nothing.

‘I won’t let them take my precious!’ The mother and daughter vowed in their heart.

At that moment, the new hater of Gods was born.

+2 Poseidon Hater!

+2 Asura Hater!

Han Yuan was flying back to the Dao Academy when he suddenly felt his mood getting better as if something good or kindred spirits appeared somewhere.

Of course, it was just a moment of thought.
