Three days had passed, and the relationship between Xu Ran and Bi Bidong continued to warm up. Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue were gradually letting go of the grudges they held in their hearts. Although they were still somewhat distant, their relationship had improved a lot compared to their previous hatred.
Xu Ran could tell that Qian Renxue had already forgiven Bi Bidong; she just didn't know how to treat her.
And this… Xu Ran had thought it through long ago, naturally as sisters… Just find an opportunity to let them get used to each other, and that would be fine.
To forget the past, they should forget it completely. Having become sisters, they naturally had to forget everything from before, otherwise, things would become chaotic.
Xu Ran also succeeded in making Hulena his woman.
Counting Bi Bidong and Hulena, Xu Ran now had an abundance of Skill Points again.
[Host]: Xu Ran
[Martial Soul]: "Godslayer Sword"
[Skill Points]: 18000
[Cultivation Level]: level 80
[Bloodline]: Kirin Bloodline, Ancestral Dragon Bloodline
[Items]: Myriad Beasts Armor (God Rank)
[Mission]: "Help Bi Bidong to get rid of the influence of Rakshasa God's Thoughts and return to her true self. Mission Reward: 10000 Skill Points. System-produced Three-legged Golden Crow Wing Bone.
Xu Ran cultivated with his eyes closed, and his Cultivation Level quickly reached level 80.
He now fully met the requirements of his Cultivation Level; just one more Soul Ring Mission, and after his breakthrough, given his current reserve of Soul Power, he would likely advance to the pinnacle of a Soul Douluo very quickly.
In fact, if he actively hunted ordinary soul beasts to obtain Soul Rings, he could easily break through to level 99, and then casually attain godhood. But Xu Ran was not so shortsighted.
Having high Cultivation Levels did not mean being strong.
Not just in Soul Land, but in other Xuanhuan worlds as well, there were countless powerhouses who could fight across levels.
Only fighting across levels could prove one's potential.
Now, even without fully breaking through as a Soul Douluo, he already had the power to brutalize a First-Level God. Steady and sure, when he truly attained godhood, he'd be able to wipe out the others with a single slap.
Xu Ran had plans to show off in other Xuanhuan worlds; he wouldn't settle for just one corner.
Naturally, he would compress his strength to the strongest within Soul Land first, so that he could show off the most in other Xuanhuan worlds.
He had no intention of getting beaten up.
Why live a hard life when he could charm beautiful women with his strongest power?
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for receiving a System Mission. Study the creation of life with the Life Goddess."
"Ding, Mission Reward: Successful creation of life will grant the eighth soul skill: Time."
While Xu Ran was lost in his wild thoughts, the System's prompt sounded, exciting him immensely. He had waited for a long time, and finally, he could break through.
And this time, the attribute was Time. How awesome would it be when he controlled Time?
The gods in Soul Land who controlled Time weren't particularly awesome, but in other Xuanhuan worlds, Time was a top-notch mystery. Xu Ran felt that it was only because the gods of Soul Land didn't know how to use the Mystery of Time.
With five Divine Kings, it's unlikely that other gods had so many powerful origins to strengthen themselves.
Moreover, studying the creation of life with the Life Goddess, that really is a bit showy.
But that suited him just fine; he wanted to discuss the creation of life with the Life Goddess.
The Destruction God kept showing off in front of him every day; now it was time for the Life Goddess to give him a surprise.
He could imagine the scene: The Destruction God looking at the Life Goddess's gradually swelling belly with utter confusion. What's going on? I didn't do anything - why is Xiao Lü's belly growing?
Ha ha... Damn...
"But first, I need to find Dong'er and resolve the Rakshasa God Power within her, then take her for a visit to Slaughter City. The Asura God's power is only for my woman." Xu Ran laughed, feeling very pleased with himself.
If Bi Bidong became the Asura God, then among the five great Gods of the Divine Realm, both the Life Goddess and the Asura God would be his wives. What would he have to fear then?
Besides, maybe he could even coax the Goddess of Kindness into his hands, then who in the Divine Realm would dare to make a move against him? He could have three godwives of God King level trample all over them.
Well, Gu Yuena was bound to be at least of the God King level in the future. After going to the Divine Realm and devouring the power of the Golden Dragon King, Gu Yuena's strength would skyrocket, probably surpassing even that of a God King.
Xiaowu and the others would also become gods one by one.
With so many beautiful goddess wives, he really wasn't the least bit worried.
And fighting alongside his goddess wives would be a feast for the eyes.
...
"My treasure Dong'er, have you missed me today?" Xu Ran sneaked into Bi Bidong's boudoir. Bi Bidong was still the Spirit Hall Pope, while Qian Renxue had withdrawn from the competition and was content to inherit the Angel God.
This was a happy ending for everyone. Seeing Qian Renxue and Bi Bidong's relationship mellow, people like Qian Dao Liu also stopped competing.
Although Bi Bidong was still the Pope, she wasn't as concerned about the affairs of the Martial Soul Hall as before. She might be the Pope, but she was Xu Ran's woman even more.
She no longer harbored ambitions of conquering the Continent. Xu Ran's women were spread out across all the powers of the Soul Land. Whom could she annihilate?
It seemed that everywhere she looked, they were all related in some way. What could she do?
She certainly couldn't go and destroy Xu Ran's in-laws. She wouldn't do something Xu Ran disliked.
"Of course I have."
Seeing Xu Ran arrive, Bi Bidong smiled tenderly.
In her hands, she was delicately embroidering a pair of black boots, specially for Xu Ran.
She wanted Xu Ran to wear clothes and shoes made by her hands - it was what a wife should do. Wearing them would make her very happy.
"My silly Dong'er. Even as Pope, you still do things a young girl would do." Holding Bi Bidong in his arms, Xu Ran smiled, his wife was indeed remarkably virtuous.
"Once you and Xue'er have children, I won't want to be the Pope anymore. I'd rather be with you," said Bi Bidong. Let whoever wants to be Pope be Pope; she wasn't interested anymore.
Now, all she wanted was to be with Xu Ran always.
"It won't be long now. You won't be the Pope for many more days. After that, our whole family will go have fun and live carefree in the Divine Realm, why bother with so many mundane things?" Xu Ran planned to transform all his wives into immortals of the Divine Realm, drinking dew and breathing divine air, even farting rainbows that smelled of fragrance.
In his previous life, the girls' farts smelled of garlic and leeks, a far cry from celestial maidens.
"Really? What about Xue'er and others?" Bi Bidong was still a bit conflicted. She found it hard to let go. Living together with them, how awkward would that be?
"Haven't we agreed to be sisters? I'm planning to reveal our relationship to Xue'er once she comes out of her retreat. She will understand us," Xu Ran said. He didn't want to wait any longer; he yearned for a full meal, with a better upper-mid-lower structure.
Xu Ran was no longer enamored with front-back or top-down structures. He now preferred an upper-mid-lower structure, feeling it was more engaging. Writing a few scripts and role-playing with his wives later on wouldn't be bad either.
