Chapter 133: Pope Bibi Dong's Decision

Chapter 133: Pope Bibi Dong's Decision

"Rakshasa Sister, can I try wielding the Rakshasa Scythe?"

Looking at the divine weapon in Bibi Dong's hands, Su Mo couldn't resist the urge to try it out.

Although he wasn't skilled in using a scythe, he could at least attempt to wield it.

More importantly, this was a divine weapon—Su Mo mainly wanted to experience its power firsthand.

"Go ahead and try."

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment but eventually handed the Rakshasa Scythe over to Su Mo.

"Be careful. If you haven't gained its recognition, the scythe will generate intense negative emotions in you. In severe cases, it could even drive you to madness." Bibi Dong warned.

"Alright."

Hearing her words, Su Mo paused slightly before reaching out for the scythe.

Bibi Dong could hold it, so as her master, even if he couldn't gain its recognition, he shouldn't be in too much danger.

If something went wrong, Bibi Dong could immediately take it back from him.

The moment Su Mo grasped the scythe, a surge of dark red energy erupted from it, flowing up his right arm.

Boom!

A flood of negative emotions instantly exploded in Su Mo's mind, and his eyes turned blood-red.

"Ugh!"

Su Mo grunted. He managed to endure for less than a minute before releasing the scythe.

As expected of a divine weapon, it wasn't something he could wield—especially without its recognition.

Bibi Dong was able to hold it likely due to her current state. She was no longer a living person but a martial soul, and her power was closely connected to the scythe's nature.

"What should we do with the Rakshasa Scythe now? Can you store it in your martial soul space?"

After letting go of the scythe, Su Mo quickly regained his composure.

"I'll try."

Bibi Dong nodded.

With a flash, her figure disappeared, returning to Su Mo's martial soul space.

Along with her, the Rakshasa Scythe vanished as well.

"It worked!"

Seeing this, Su Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Bibi Dong could carry it into the martial soul space, then they wouldn't have to worry about how to deal with it.

After all, ordinary spatial soul tools couldn't store divine weapons.

Next, Su Mo tested summoning Bibi Dong alone, successfully leaving the Rakshasa Scythe inside the martial soul space.

However, without Bibi Dong's control, the scythe continuously emitted a sinister aura that affected Su Mo's mind.

The best solution was for Bibi Dong to always keep the scythe in her possession.

Su Mo then attempted Martial Soul Possession, hoping to wield the Rakshasa Scythe in that state.

He failed.

The moment the scythe appeared in his hand, he was once again overwhelmed by its corrupting aura.

This meant that while using Bibi Dong as a martial soul, Su Mo couldn't use Martial Soul Possession. Instead, he could only summon Bibi Dong in the way Yu Xiaogang summoned Luo Sanpao—as a combat companion rather than an attached power.

It wasn't an impossible method. However, if Su Mo chose to fight while using Martial Soul Possession, he would have to endure the scythe's influence in his martial soul space.

"Su Mo, when are we going to find Xiaoxue?"

After their experiments, Bibi Dong asked about Su Mo's plan to meet Qian Renxue.

Only by finding Qian Renxue could they prevent Pope Bibi Dong from attacking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Before, she hadn't been able to appear in front of Qian Renxue, but now she could. Naturally, she was eager to see her daughter as soon as possible.

"We'll wait until Qian Renxue comes next time."

Su Mo thought for a moment before answering.

Regardless of the situation, the best way to resolve the crisis surrounding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was through Qian Renxue.

Any other method would be much more difficult.

Even if he told Ning Fengzhi the truth, there was no way to stop the Spirit Hall's march toward continental unification.

Spirit Hall's power was overwhelming. Its accumulated soul master forces now far surpassed the combined strength of the two empires and all other sects.

The only reason Spirit Hall hadn't acted yet was due to their lack of common soldiers.

They were wary of the foundational strength of the two empires.

Additionally, there weren't enough administrators—taking over the entire continent required a massive number of officials.

However, the two empires, despite their vast armies, only had defensive strength. They had no way to attack Spirit Hall, which controlled an overwhelming number of high-level soul masters.

In the original timeline, if not for Tang San's interference, nothing could have stopped Spirit Hall from unifying the continent.

If Bibi Dong had been more ruthless—giving no time for surrender negotiations—Spirit Hall wouldn't have suffered such a devastating loss.

Now, with Su Mo's interference, Tang San would likely never achieve godhood as he did in the original story.

This meant that nothing could stop Spirit Hall's dominance.

So even if Su Mo revealed the truth to Ning Fengzhi, it wouldn't matter. Once Spirit Hall was ready to act, the fate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be sealed.

The best approach was to ensure that Spirit Hall never targeted them in the first place.

That meant cooperating with Qian Renxue—helping her take control of the Heaven Dou Empire so that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could align with her.

Having the sect directly join Spirit Hall was unlikely, as Ning Fengzhi would never agree to that.

However, supporting Qian Renxue's rule over Heaven Dou Empire was a different matter. That would simply mean joining the empire.

There might be other alternatives, but Su Mo didn't want to waste too much thought on them.

Deep down, he had no desire to stand against Spirit Hall.

Whether it was because of Bibi Dong or other reasons, he didn't want to become Spirit Hall's enemy.

Even though he had taken the Rakshasa Scythe, hindering Pope Bibi Dong's ninth Rakshasa Trial and delaying her godhood, he still had no intention of opposing Spirit Hall.

Fighting Spirit Hall was simply too difficult.

And besides, Su Mo had no personal grudge against them.

With Bibi Dong's presence, he could also form an alliance with Qian Renxue, eliminating any reason for conflict.

The only real threat to him was Pope Bibi Dong herself.

However, as long as she couldn't become a god, Su Mo had nothing to fear. Spirit Hall wasn't solely controlled by her.

Now that he held the Rakshasa Scythe, it was Pope Bibi Dong who was at a disadvantage.

"Alright."

"Then we'll wait for Xiaoxue to come."

Hearing Su Mo's response, Bibi Dong had no objections.

Instead, she began looking forward to it.

Qian Renxue regularly visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to maintain her alliance with them, so the wait wouldn't be long.

She could very well arrive in just a few days.

…

"Is what that woman said really true?"

"If it is, how does she know those things?"

"Could she really be my future self?"

"Impossible! That woman is definitely not me! If she were, she would never speak about Xiaogang like that!"

"She actually wanted me to kill Xiaogang—unforgivable!"

…

Meanwhile, inside Spirit Hall, Pope Bibi Dong had returned from the Rakshasa Domain to her private chamber.

Seated on her throne, she was still mulling over her encounter with the other Bibi Dong.

Although she refused to believe that woman was her future self, she couldn't ignore the things she had said.

Everything else might be nonsense.

However, Pope Bibi Dong was deeply concerned about the enemies Bibi Dong had predicted would appear in Spirit Hall's future.

"Does that Tang San really possess such incredible talent?"

"Could it be that the Rakshasa God knows something and is trying to warn me through this vision?"

"Wanting me to kill Xiaogang… is it to make sure I have no lingering attachments in my heart?"

Pope Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flickered as she began to form her own theories.

She was naturally displeased by the idea that Qian Renxue would become the Angel God before her, but she had no intention of stopping her.

No matter how much she disliked Qian Renxue, she wouldn't actually make a move against her.

Unless Qian Renxue struck first—only then would she steel herself to kill her own daughter.

"Qian Renxue can be left alone. But Tang San… he must be eliminated!"

A cold glint of killing intent flashed in Pope Bibi Dong's eyes.

However, when she thought about how Tang San was the disciple Yu Xiaogang cherished as if he were his own child, she hesitated again.

She believed she understood Yu Xiaogang well—he was a proud man.

Yet, for Tang San's sake, he had been willing to come to her and beg for knowledge on cultivating twin martial souls. That proved just how much Yu Xiaogang valued Tang San.

If she killed Tang San, Yu Xiaogang would surely hate her for life.

Even if she later revealed the truth of what happened in the past, Yu Xiaogang might never forgive or accept her.

Thinking of this, Pope Bibi Dong hesitated even more.

"Forget it. I'll observe for now and decide later…"

In the end, she suppressed the murderous intent in her heart and chose to wait and see.

…

"What?"

"You broke through another two levels and reached Rank 47?"

"How did you do it, kid? How did you suddenly gain two levels back to back?"

When Su Mo appeared before Sword Douluo and the others, it was impossible to hide his increase in soul power.

So he directly admitted the truth—he had advanced two levels.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and the others stared at Su Mo in shock.

They couldn't help but be amazed.

It hadn't been long since the Soul Master Tournament ended—just half a year.

Yet within six months, Su Mo had already reached Rank 47. That was insane.

At this rate, wouldn't he reach Soul King in no time?

"You brat, don't tell me you had another enlightenment?"

Sword Douluo eyed Su Mo suspiciously.

"No, this time it's because I awakened a second martial soul, which allowed me to gain two levels."

Su Mo shook his head, revealing that he had awakened a second martial soul.

He couldn't hide it forever, so he decided to disclose it.

However, he didn't mention that his second martial soul was Bibi Dong—there was no rush to reveal that.

For now, there was no need for Ning Fengzhi and the others to know too much.

As long as he didn't summon Bibi Dong directly and only used Martial Soul Possession, the external effect was just a layer of dark red energy enveloping his body, making it look like he was wearing a demonic aura. No one would be able to tell what the martial soul actually was.

"What?"

"Su Mo, what did you just say?"

"You awakened a second martial soul?"

"You actually have two martial souls?"

"…"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Ning Fengzhi and the others were completely stunned.

This was unbelievable.

"It's true."

Su Mo confirmed.

"This… This is simply too shocking…"

"Su Mo, what is your second martial soul? Summon it and let us see!"

Even though it was difficult to believe, Ning Fengzhi and the others trusted Su Mo.

Bone Douluo, in particular, urged Su Mo to show them his second martial soul.

If it was real, they would see it for themselves!

"Alright."

"My second martial soul isn't a tool martial soul, so I can't summon it directly."

Su Mo nodded and first clarified that his second martial soul wasn't a Tool Soul.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

Buzz—

Before their eyes, Su Mo activated Martial Soul Possession.

The moment Bibi Dong attached to him, a sinister, dark red aura wrapped around his body, making him exude an eerie and otherworldly presence.

"What kind of martial soul is this?"

"What a terrifying aura…"

"And it feels so evil…"

"…"

Even though they couldn't see Su Mo's second martial soul, Sword Douluo and the others were shocked by the transformation.

Just from its aura, they could tell how powerful it was.

The energy emanating from it sent chills down their spines—it was the kind of presence that made even Titled Douluo tremble.

That alone was terrifying.

Su Mo's second martial soul didn't even have soul rings yet, and it was already making them uneasy.

Buzz—

After proving his second martial soul's existence, Su Mo quickly retracted it.

Even in such a short time, the Rakshasa Scythe had already started corrupting his martial soul space with its evil aura.

When he withdrew the martial soul, Su Mo's eyes were still tinged red, a clear sign of its lingering influence.

Though the effect wasn't severe enough to affect him, it was evident that this martial soul was dangerous.

"Uncle Ning, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone."

"What you just saw—that was my second martial soul."

Su Mo turned to Ning Fengzhi and the others with a calm smile.

"You brat, you really awakened a second martial soul!"

"And it's definitely not ordinary, is it?"

"What exactly is your second martial soul?"

Sword Douluo took a deep breath, recovering from his shock. After praising Su Mo, he couldn't wait to find out what his second martial soul actually was.

"Grandpa Sword, my second martial soul is called…"

"Rakshasa God."

Su Mo answered truthfully.
