In my previous life, if it hadn't been for me, Yu Xiaogang, you would've been killed by Qian Xunji long ago!
Back then, the reason no one questioned Yu Xiaogang's title as a "theory master" in the soul master world was entirely because I worked behind the scenes to suppress any opposing voices.
If I hadn't protected him, would Yu Xiaogang have been able to pull off that grandstanding with the Shrek Seven Devils at the soul master tournament and walk away unscathed?
Ridiculous. Even when Tang Hao provoked Spirit Hall, despite escaping with Tang San and Xiao Wu, Spirit Hall had every reason to detain the Shrek Seven Devils. But because of me, Yu Xiaogang and his group were able to retreat safely.
I gave so much for Yu Xiaogang in my past life, and yet after my death, he completely forgot about me!
Even worse than forgetting me, Yu Xiaogang ruthlessly oppressed my disciples!
Sure, Tang San was our enemy—Bibi Dong had no expectations from him. The fact that he spared Qian Renxue and Hu Liena's lives was already a rare mercy. But Yu Xiaogang—how did you achieve all your success?
"How could he do that to me?" Bibi Dong's voice trembled, breaking down with a touch of madness. "No, Xiaogang's not that kind of person!"
"I permit you to question me," came the ethereal voice.
"But do you really believe that what happened between you and your teacher was entirely his fault? Do you think Yu Xiaogang is as perfect as you imagined?"
"Yes, Qian Xunji did something wrong—he destroyed you emotionally. But he also raised you, gave you everything you needed besides love. Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, gave you nothing—he only took from you, yet he fulfilled your emotional needs."
"But in this world, there's no absolute right or wrong. Things aren't black and white. You can't treat the people you love with blind devotion or blind hatred. That will only lead to regret."
"In this life, not only have you all been reborn—Yu Xiaogang and the Shrek Seven Devils have been reborn as well. If you want to know what kind of person he really is, then use your own eyes and see for yourself."
Those words struck a chord in Bibi Dong. Yes—reborn into this life, why should she rely on hearsay when she could witness the truth with her own eyes?
Moreover, her past hatred toward Qian Xunji had blinded her. Because she hated him, she ended up hating the entire Qian Clan—including her own daughter. But Qian Renxue was innocent—how could she be made to bear the burden of her parents' feud?
Bibi Dong nodded slowly.
"Then, do you still want to ask another question about Yu Xiaogang?" the voice asked.
Bibi Dong shook her head. "No, the question I truly wanted to ask has already been answered."
"I want to know: how do we reach the Sun Moon Continent?"
Hearing her question, Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena's eyes lit up. Among the four of them, this was by far the most important and strategic question.
Those who had reviewed her memory fragments knew that thousands of years in the future, the Douluo Continent would eventually connect with an overseas land—the Sun Moon Continent, bringing with it advanced soul tool technology.
In truth, soul tool technology had existed long ago. But a historical gap caused it to be lost on the Douluo Continent, leaving only a few legacy items.
While they couldn't ask for the specifics of soul tool technology, finding the Sun Moon Continent could revive its glory.
In the future, Tang San would arm the enemies of Spirit Hall with hidden weapons, making it extremely hard for Spirit Hall to match them in that area. Since they couldn't obtain hidden weapons themselves, the alternative path was to use soul tools to counter them.
Even if soul tool tech on the Sun Moon Continent was still primitive in this era, it gave Bibi Dong hope for reigniting technological progress.
"Very well," the ethereal voice said.
A glowing sea chart descended from the sky and merged into Bibi Dong's body. In her mind, an expansive map of Planet Douluo appeared—showing two continents separated by a vast ocean.
The sea regions were marked with detailed information—areas yet unexplored by the Douluo Continent. This was an incredibly valuable piece of intel.
"Thank you, Senior," Bibi Dong said sincerely.
"No need for thanks. If you want to leave, you may do so by using your consciousness to reconnect with your body on the Douluo Continent." With that, the voice vanished.
The four of them began discussing the information they had gained within the chaotic void.
"So that means... Tang San can't die until we finish creating our divine thrones?" Qian Renxue said coldly. "Let him breathe a bit longer then, while he still can."
"Sister Xue," Hu Liena added bitterly, "after all the pain Tang San caused us in our past life, just letting him die so easily would be too merciful. I say we repay the humiliation and pain the Shrek Seven Devils inflicted on us—tenfold, no, a thousandfold!"
Qian Renxue nodded firmly.
Bibi Dong then mocked: "Old man, the Bo Saixi you fawn over went so far as to help Tang San become the Sea God. And the Sea God himself interfered in the Angel God Trials. And you still can't forget about your Bo Saixi?"
Qian Daoliu's face turned red, then purple. He barked back, "Silence! Xixi is the Grand Priestess of the Sea God! I believe she had no choice in the matter! But you, Bibi Dong, don't you also still pine for Yu Xiaogang? And yet, he not only ignored your devotion, he raised your enemy and ultimately led to your death! If you ask me, better we just kill Yu Xiaogang quickly and cleanly. End it once and for all!"
"Hmph! I say we mobilize Spirit Hall's army and wipe out Sea God Island. Kill Bo Saixi, sever the Sea God's legacy, and make sure Tang San never becomes a god!" Bibi Dong shot back.
The two looked ready to throw hands right there in the void, until Qian Renxue stepped between them.
"Grandfather, Mother—please stop! We're supposed to be on the same side now."
"Who's on the same side as her/him?" Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu said in unison.
"Fine," Qian Renxue sighed. "We may not be a family, but we're all in the same boat now. If we don't fulfill her request, the timeline will revert to its original course. And that won't be good for any of us."
Both Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong nodded reluctantly in agreement.
On the side, Hu Liena asked softly, "Teacher, could you tell me—what exactly are laws?"
Bibi Dong replied: "The so-called laws are the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. Once you reach the realm of gods, soul bones and soul rings no longermatter. The only things that hold true value—are faith and laws."
