Chapter 236: Bibi Dong’s Decision

Chapter 236: Bibi Dong's Decision

As the divine power of time surged from Su Yun like a flood, spreading into a domain around the secret room, Bibi Dong—or rather, the lingering consciousness of the Rakshasa God within her—suddenly displayed a look of shock on her face.

"You can already manipulate divine power?!" The Rakshasa God's pupils shrank as she felt the power enveloping the room, a level of divinity she had never felt before and one that was far superior to her own, shaking her to the core.

What shocked her even more was not just that the power of the Time God Su Yun mentioned was superior in grade, but how Su Yun, merely a Soul Saint, could wield such divine force?!

This defied all logic!

"Ridiculous! Do you think you can eliminate me by forcefully channeling the divine power left to you?" The Rakshasa God sneered sinisterly, "Su Yun, I originally had a high regard for you; don't be unwise."

"Moreover, such a delightful body, don't you want to indulge?" The Rakshasa God twisted Bibi Dong's alluring form, attempting to seduce Su Yun and sway his focus.

The Rakshasa God, master of worldly sinister thoughts, naturally encompassed immoral desires.

However, Su Yun stood firm like a paragon of virtue, his gaze sharp as a blade, focusing only on activating the divine power of time.

Indeed, as the Rakshasa God stated, Su Yun's ability to forcibly utilize the divine power was not just due to his innate talent and the favor of the Time God, but also due to the system's influence.

Since Ah Yin regained her form, the system had entered a countdown to disappearance, appearing solely to aid Ah Yin's revival.

After granting Su Yun one final boost, the system vanished completely, undetectable.

And the help it provided Su Yun was significant: periodically allowing him to tap into the divine power of time prematurely, pushing his sixth soul skill to the limits of divine capability.

If the consciousness of the Rakshasa God within Bibi Dong's mind had been complete, Su Yun would naturally have been unable to defeat it.

But now, with only a sliver of the Rakshasa God's consciousness remaining, Su Yun could use his divine power to eradicate it.

Of course, this was immensely draining for Su Yun!

"Ah! Su Yun! You're seeking your own death!" The moment Su Yun's divine power touched the Rakshasa God's consciousness, it felt as if a millstone was invisibly grinding away at her spiritual power, an illogical force that caused her once-healthy consciousness to rapidly age and even begin dissipating into nothingness.

Consciousness aging meant it would vanish completely.

The Rakshasa God had not expected that her lingering presence in the mortal world would be eradicated by a mere Soul Saint.

"Su Yun! If you don't stop, believe it or not, I'll ensure your teacher never ascends to godhood in her lifetime!" The Rakshasa God issued her final ultimatum, warning Su Yun.

"You have no idea what your teacher has been through! She seeks godhood for revenge!"

"Do you really intend to destroy her hopes of vengeance?!"

Su Yun scoffed, "Revenge? I can handle that myself. What use do we have for a useless deity like you!"

"Now get out of my teacher's body!"

Su Yun didn't hesitate, activating the divine power of time once more.

The Rakshasa God's consciousness, though merely a remnant, was still divine, far beyond what any mortal could handle.

If it were an ordinary person facing such terrifying divine power, they would likely have turned to dust in moments.

"Ah!!! Su Yun!!! I will not forgive you!" The piercing scream of 'Bibi Dong' in the secret chamber finally faded after a crescendo of wails, and then Bibi Dong's body collapsed onto the floor.

Seeing this, Su Yun finally understood that he had successfully expelled the Rakshasa God's consciousness from Bibi Dong's mind.

A smile crossed his face, but at the same time, a severe dizziness overwhelmed his brain.

To prevent the divine power from harming Bibi Dong, he had strained his spirit to its limits in controlling it.

The pressure was nearly enough to make Su Yun break down.

But now that everything was successful, Su Yun smiled and then, after taking a deep breath, passed out.

It was clear that Su Yun had underestimated the cost of forcibly using divine power.

Realm of the Gods.

"Damn it!"

Sharp curses echoed from the palace of the Rakshasa God. Originally delighted by his own 'little amusement' and prepared to indulge himself using the body of a woman from the mortal realm, the Rakshasa God had not anticipated underestimating the young man who inherited the legacy of the Time God.

"Heh, Rakshasa, who could possibly make you so irritable?" As the old rival of the Rakshasa God, the Shura God had already sensed the loss of control in Rakshasa God's divine power.

It was rare to see his enemy in such disarray, and even the Shura God couldn't help his curiosity to witness the embarrassing state of the Rakshasa God.

"What's it to you?"

The Rakshasa God glared at the Shura God without showing any friendliness. As eternal adversaries, the Rakshasa God snorted, "Shouldn't you, a Shura God, be finding your own successor instead of loitering in my temple? You sure are idle."

The Shura God sneered, "I have found my successor, but it will take some time for him to inherit."

"As for you, I have never seen you like this before."

"It's always you who manipulates others and schemes, but today you seem so agitated."

"Tell me, who has the ability to do this?"

Seeing the demeanor of the Shura God, who clearly came just to mock, the Rakshasa God openly shared the information he got from the mortal realm, Su Yun: "You know about... the Time God?"

The Time God?

The Shura God was stunned, then his face showed a mocking smile: "Rakshasa, do you think I'm so easily deceived?"

"We have existed for millions of years, and never have I heard of someone who can control the path of time."

The path of time is the most mysterious and terrifying of all forces!

Even they, who claim to be eternal gods, once they step into the legendary river of time, would likely never be able to leave.

"Heh, the candidate I selected in the mortal realm, her disciple has already inherited the legacy of the Time God."

"My regret is being worn down by that divine power of time."

"That power, far superior to our divine powers, is unforgettable from just one encounter."

The Rakshasa God's eyes darkened: "I assure you, once he steps into the divine realm, the entire realm will be turned upside down because of him."

"Heh, so what?" the Shura God laughed lightly. "Why not just leave the divine realm then?"

"By the time he inherits the power of the Time God, I actually want to see it…"

Before the Shura God could finish, the Rakshasa God interrupted, "You still think about leaving the divine realm on your own now? The cost might be substantial."

"I suggest you not waste your time."

"Just wait for your successor to find you, and then you can take the opportunity to go down and meet the boy."

The Shura God paused, slightly surprised: "I didn't expect you to consider my situation."

"Heh."

The Rakshasa God sneered, "I just want to see how that boy will torment you."

...

Su Yun's power was already the strongest among his generation.

But even with his current mental strength, forcefully invoking divine power left him like a barren riverbed, barely able to squeeze out a drop of water.

This overwhelming sense of mental fatigue would likely make him sleep for seven days.

And on the second day after Su Yun fell asleep, Bibi Dong woke up from her coma.

The first thing Bibi Dong did upon awakening was to check on Su Yun's condition.

Indeed, while the Shura God had taken control of her body, her consciousness had remained and she had been watching the live confrontation between Su Yun and the Shura God.

Seeing Su Yun's performance, Bibi Dong suddenly felt somewhat ashamed of her earlier thoughts.

But...

After moving Su Yun to a bed in a secret chamber, Bibi Dong still felt that the content of the divine examination had not changed.

To pass the eighth trial, she had to be with Su Yun...

"That bastard!" Bibi Dong thought about the moment the Rakshasa God had taken over her body, likely intending to force a physical relationship with Su Yun.

Realm of the Gods.

Unexpectedly to both Bibi Dong and the Rakshasa God, Su Yun was already capable of using the divine power of the Time God at the Soul Sage level! Bibi Dong was certain that her disciple would eventually ascend to godhood. Seeing Su Yun's pale and drained face lying on the bed, Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel a pang of distress.

As someone who also harbored a small portion of Rakshasa God's divine power within her, Bibi Dong could acutely feel the depletion of power within Su Yun. Had it not been for Su Yun's martial soul aiding his body's recovery, she might have already dragged him in front of Qian Dao Liu for emergency aid.

But now...

Bibi Dong's eyelashes quivered slightly, and her hands nervously fidgeted in front of her abdomen.

If her nervousness in facing Su Yun before was due to the inability to break through the barriers between them, her anxiety now stemmed from another thought entirely. Bibi Dong knew this was her only chance.

While Su Yun was unconscious, she had to complete the eighth trial.

Otherwise, once Su Yun woke up, passing the eighth trial would be absolutely impossible!

Even though Su Yun had promised to avenge her before falling unconscious, with Bibi Dong's personality, how could she allow Su Yun to commit such a great sin on her behalf?

Therefore...

"I'm sorry, Su Yun…"

"For your teacher…"

Bibi Dong murmured softly before climbing onto the bed.

Seven days later.

When Su Yun awoke, he found himself back in his own room, dressed in new clothes.

"Damn!" Su Yun wasn't foolish; he instantly understood what had happened. With his current strength, he naturally realized he had lost something invaluable.

"That crazy woman, to become a god, she would even do this?!" Su Yun jumped out of bed and, without even stopping to wash up, rushed out of his room.

However, as soon as he exited, he encountered Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, as well as Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Holy Son."

"Su Yun!"

Upon seeing Su Yun, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing immediately rushed to him.

After sending Su Yun back to his room, Bibi Dong had concocted an excuse to inform them not to disturb him and to wait for him to wake up naturally.

Therefore, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing were waiting there.

As for why Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo were there...

"Holy Son, the Pope has recently had a revelation and decided to enter seclusion. Hence, from today onwards, you will act on behalf of the Pope in handling all matters of the Spirit Hall."

"The Elder Council and we will assist you."

The words of the titled Douluos shocked Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing.

What did this mean?

Was the teacher/Pope preparing to formally hand over the Pope's position to Su Yun?

Upon hearing this, Su Yun's face showed little surprise.

He knew that Bibi Dong was probably preparing to officially claim the reward for passing the eighth trial and was getting ready for the ninth trial.

Seeing Su Yun's calm demeanor, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo exchanged glances, both reading admiration in each other's eyes for Su Yun.

Temporarily acting as the Pope.

Although it was only temporary, the power was still astounding! This position nearly placed Su Yun's status on the Douluo Continent on par with the emperors of the two great empires.

And, it was a definitive declaration to the world that the next Pope would undoubtedly be Su Yun!

"Please instruct us on the future arrangements, Your Holiness." Ghost Douluo knelt on one knee, addressing Su Yun as the Pope, a move that caused Chrysanthemum Douluo to inwardly curse the old man.

Directly addressing Su Yun as the Pope was indeed fitting.

Anyone knew who the Pope's most favored disciple was within the Spirit Hall, and it was only a matter of time before Su Yun would officially take the Pope's position.

Ghost Douluo kneeling first clearly stated his allegiance.

He had been Bibi Dong's man, but in the future, he would be Su Yun's.

Chrysanthemum Douluo also knelt on one knee, waiting for Su Yun's command.

"Keep everything as it is. Before the teacher comes out, avoid any unnecessary actions."

Su Yun said indifferently: "Elder Ghost, Elder Chrysanthemum, tell the Elder Council that you two will handle everything."

"This..." Ghost Douluo looked troubled, but remembering what the Pope had told them before going into seclusion, to obey Su Yun's commands, he immediately nodded, "Understood."

Soon after, he and Chrysanthemum Douluo disappeared from the scene.

Su Yun then had a brief heart-to-heart with Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing before parting ways with them.

Now, he too needed to accelerate his cultivation.
