Chapter 29: Bibi Dong’s Self-Reflection and Future Goals

Even Su Ming himself didn't know what the cost would be for using the Rinnegan's resurrection ability. Although the diary mentioned that enhancing and using the Sharingan had no side effects, the resurrection power of the Rinnegan seemed too overpowered to be without consequences. It didn't feel realistic.

Whatever the case, Su Ming decided to think about it later. After all, his Sharingan was still far from evolving into the Rinnegan. Who knows, maybe the diary would reward him with something related to resurrection before then.

While Su Ming was writing in his diary, he and Xiao Wu arrived at a restaurant to have lunch. Su Ming ordered a pile of meat with a few vegetables since he was a carnivore, while Xiao Wu ordered a bunch of carrots, as usual.

Meanwhile, in Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was deep in thought, reflecting on Su Ming's words. Though she didn't want to admit it, Su Ming's observations were indeed correct.

At first, Qian Xunji had treated her very well. But after discovering her relationship with Yu Xiaogang, his attitude changed drastically. He began to threaten her, saying he would kill Yu Xiaogang, and eventually locked her in a secret chamber.

As Bibi Dong reflected, she realized that during the time her relationship with Yu Xiaogang grew closer, Qian Xunji was in seclusion. Had he been around, he likely would have cut off her feelings for Yu Xiaogang before they took root. After all, Yu Xiaogang's strength was laughable—he'd never break through level 30.

As Bibi Dong's teacher, Qian Xunji would never have wanted her to marry someone like Yu Xiaogang. Perhaps, as Su Ming guessed, Qian Xunji had other plans for her, maybe even raising her as a future bride. But he hadn't anticipated Yu Xiaogang stealing her heart.

Now, thanks to Su Ming's diary, Bibi Dong's mind had cleared somewhat. Looking back, she could see her own faults and even a certain ungratefulness toward Spirit Hall. This realization left her feeling uncomfortable. Back then, she had been too naïve.

In her early years, without Spirit Hall, she might have awakened her twin spirits, but without protection, she could have easily been captured by powerful nobles or spirit masters and used as a tool to bear children.

Because Spirit Hall had raised and nurtured her, she had lived a smooth, privileged life before meeting Yu Xiaogang, facing no real hardships. This led her to believe that the world was kind and fair. Over time, her admiration for Yu Xiaogang grew. She thought he was incredibly knowledgeable and capable.

Yu Xiaogang might not have been strong, but his dedication to theoretical research had impressed her, and she wanted to help him in any way she could. Looking back now, Bibi Dong realized how ridiculous she had been. All the theories Yu Xiaogang had studied were documented in Spirit Hall's archives, which she could have accessed herself had she chosen to focus on them.

Later, when Qian Xunji discovered her relationship with Yu Xiaogang after emerging from seclusion, he forced them apart. Yu Xiaogang then tried to convince her to elope with him, urging her to leave Spirit Hall and travel the world together.

Back then, she had actually considered it. Now, the thought filled her with shame. She hadn't been aware of Spirit Hall's immense power or how many titled Douluos were at its disposal. Yu Xiaogang had told her that his clan, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was strong and that Spirit Hall wouldn't dare act against them.

Now she saw how naive she had been, blindly trusting Yu Xiaogang without even investigating Spirit Hall's true strength. If Spirit Hall had wanted to, they could have easily wiped out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which only had one titled Douluo. Yu Xiaogang's confidence had been baseless.

Bibi Dong's thoughts shifted. Her hatred toward Spirit Hall lessened. Initially, her goal had been to destroy the organization after what happened, but now, she saw things differently. She had already killed Qian Xunji, and Spirit Hall itself wasn't at fault. In fact, Spirit Hall had done much good for the common people, including giving her the opportunity she'd had as a child.

Additionally, Spirit Hall played a vital role in capturing rogue spirit masters, especially evil ones. Without Spirit Hall, if it were to fall, the common people would be left at the mercy of the empires and powerful clans. Many would lose even the chance to awaken their spirits, unless they were exceptionally lucky.

Reflecting on this, Bibi Dong's anger subsided. She no longer wanted to destroy Spirit Hall. Instead, she now aimed to expand and strengthen it, eventually uniting the entire continent. Her goal was to truly help the common people, though she knew such a goal would require significant preparation.

The process would undoubtedly be bloody, but once the continent was unified, the smaller, constant wars would cease, and the common people could finally gain a semblance of rights and happiness.

Unbeknownst to Bibi Dong, her newfound clarity also lightened her internal burden. Her killing intent lessened, and her mindset became more complete. This, in turn, strengthened her resistance to the evil aura of the Rakshasa God. She felt lighter and more at peace, ready to think more rationally.
