"Tang San, you've created such a divine artifact for the Spirit Hall. What reward would you like?"
After the four Titled Douluo and Hu Liena retreated, Bibi Dong brought Tang San back to the Pope's Hall and asked about his desires.
"No reward is necessary. After all, this Soul Imprint Throne is just the first experimental piece," Tang San shook his head. "Observing Hu Liena's use of it, I've learned some more detailed things."
"That's not acceptable," Bibi Dong smiled. "Rewarding merit is one of the basic principles of the Spirit Hall."
"In that case, Your Holiness, grant me some storage soul tools. Currently, research on space-type soul tools has hit a bottleneck. Disassembling more storage soul tools might help us understand the composition of space soul tool runes and which materials best carry these runes," Tang San thought for a moment and stated his need—although he brought a batch of storage soul tools when he purchased minerals in Gengxin City, those were borrowed from the Spirit Hall and not his to dismantle for study.
Storage soul tools are quite sturdy, but once broken, their runes are damaged more severely, making them thousands of times harder to replicate than other types of soul tool runes.
Therefore, the initial phase of researching space-type soul tools would likely require the destruction of countless storage soul tools.
"I agree. From now on, whenever you need storage soul tools, you can go directly to the soul tool storage room and take whatever you need," Bibi Dong understood that only through the efforts of Tang San, Guang Ling, and the personnel at the Soul Tool Technology City could soul tools continuously evolve. To her, this wasn't even considered a reward.
Compared to the Soul Imprint Throne, mere soul tools were insignificant!
"Now, my soul power has fully gathered in my middle dantian, my lower dantian's energy circulates on its own, and the three energies have indeed achieved a balance, slowly enhancing my overall strength. Moreover, my lifespan has significantly increased. Before becoming a god, unless severely injured, I can seemingly live for ten thousand years," Bibi Dong spoke of her cultivation.
Honestly, Bibi Dong hadn't expected that achieving autonomous circulation among the three dantian energies would yield such a result, greatly extending her lifespan.
Ten thousand years, even if she didn't become a god, could accumulate energy comparable to or surpassing a god!
If ascending to the divine realm meant constraints, then living freely for ten thousand years in the mortal world wasn't a bad choice!
"What are your thoughts on how to perfect the transformation between these three energies?" Bibi Dong was now more interested in how to achieve perfection.
"Autonomous circulation among the three is the foundation. For greater perfection, you need to continually explore, understanding the functions of your entire body's meridians and utilizing them," Tang San said calmly. "However, with Your Holiness's formidable strength, you can first condense a golden core of energy, a soul power core, and a spiritual core, then refine your body, observing which meridians need to be used. This will also give me insights for my future cultivation."
"You really do see me as a test subject," Bibi Dong laughed, not angry, and took the soul core condensation method Tang San handed over, beginning her attempts.
With her immense strength, Bibi Dong believed that even if something went wrong, it wouldn't be a major issue.
Among spiritual power, soul power, and vitality, soul power was the strongest, followed by spiritual power, with vitality being the weakest. Hence, Bibi Dong decided to start with vitality.
Following the soul core condensation method, Bibi Dong controlled her body's vitality to gather in her lower dantian, condensing it into a rotating core.
Boom!
When her vitality condensed into a spherical core, a powerful surge of life energy radiated from it, imbuing Bibi Dong's skin with a faint golden hue, and her entire body exuded a heat derived from life itself.
Bibi Dong keenly sensed that after condensing the golden core of vitality, her blood vessels seemed to become more active, constantly strengthening her body.
Next, Bibi Dong turned her attention to her spiritual power, condensing it into a spiritual core in a similar manner.
Hum!
Instantly, Bibi Dong felt as though she could "see" every part of her body, from her brain to her entire body, connected by a network different from blood vessels.
All her life activities were controlled by her brain, transmitting information through this intricate network.
The initial condensation of her golden core of vitality and spiritual core convinced Bibi Dong of Tang San's theory. Once the three dantian energies and their corresponding energies were in place, they could form a small universe within the body, resonating with the greater universe outside.
If she now condensed her soul power core, could she wield god-like power even without becoming a god?
After calming her mind, Bibi Dong began condensing her soul power core. However, when the soul power gathered into a core, the attributes of her Death Spider Emperor and Devouring Spider Emperor martial souls suddenly erupted, injecting into it and vying for control.
Frowning, Bibi Dong immediately utilized the dual meditation technique she had modified over the past six months, striving to maintain a balance between the two attributes.
However, the Devouring Spider Emperor, the primary spirit for the Rakshasa inheritance, gradually overpowered the Death Spider Emperor, even attempting to devour and transform it into Rakshasa power.
In the past, Bibi Dong wouldn't have minded if the Death Spider Emperor was devoured, as strengthening the Devouring Spider Emperor and enhancing the Rakshasa power would greatly aid in her divine inheritance trial.
But now, she didn't want to become a god too quickly. Moreover, Tang San had once mentioned the possibility of a Death God, giving her a glimmer of hope—if she could have dual gods coexist within her, wouldn't that make her even stronger in the future?
Thus, Bibi Dong was constantly trying to balance the powers of the Death Spider Emperor and the Devouring Spider Emperor.
[If this continues, there is indeed a possibility of hosting dual gods, but the position of Death God does not exist in the divine realm.]
A remnant of the Rakshasa God's spirit emerged in her middle dantian, observing the battle between the Devouring Spider Emperor and the Death Spider Emperor, as well as the hatred and malevolence contained within the Devouring Spider Emperor—
[Although the souls devoured by the Devouring Spider Emperor have been digested, the pure malice and hatred have been retained. If controlled, this could become a great asset for Bibi Dong, but if not, these negative emotions could affect her mind in the future.]
[That old man didn't handle things thoroughly...]
However, the Rakshasa God's remnant spirit understood that allowing the Devouring Spider Emperor to digest the devoured souls still greatly benefited Bibi Dong.
Unfortunately, Bibi Dong was too greedy, unwilling to abandon any of her spirits.
Switching to another inheritor?
The Rakshasa God wasn't sure if there would be another suitable candidate in the future. Tang San's talent was the best, but his soul power attributes were completely incompatible with her divine position. Furthermore, his demigod-level soul was much stronger than this remnant spirit. If she approached him, she would be discovered immediately, and his other spirit seemed to contain a deeply powerful essence, which could endanger this remnant spirit.
She had to think of a plan—
As Bibi Dong was concentrating on condensing her soul core, she suddenly felt her two soul powers becoming chaotic, affecting her vitality golden core and spiritual core.
"Damn it!"
"Is it because the two spirits' attributes can't merge? Or is the Rakshasa inheritance too domineering, allowing only one attribute?"
At this moment, Bibi Dong began to realize that the Rakshasa inheritance might not be as wonderful as she had thought, possibly even hindering her further advancement.
Sensing the death attribute weakening, Bibi Dong suddenly thought of Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor's life attribute. If it could merge with her soul power, it might help her preserve the Death Spider Emperor and its death attribute.
Just as Tang San, who had been observing the circulation of Bibi Dong's vitality, soul power, and spiritual power, was about to react, Bibi Dong abruptly opened her eyes and grabbed his right hand. "Release the Blue Silver Emperor and channel your life-attribute soul power into me. Help me balance the death power with the Rakshasa-powered devouring force."
In an instant, Tang San felt his soul power being drawn by Bibi Dong.
"No wonder the Devouring Spider Emperor is named so aptly."
While marveling, the Endless Grassland was released, converting the power of the earth into soul power to replenish Tang San, who continued to be drained by Bibi Dong.
As the life-attribute soul power entered her body, Bibi Dong felt as if she had consumed an ultimate elixir, her entire being trembling with pleasure.
"More! I need more!"
Helpless, Tang San could only increase the output of his soul power to satisfy Bibi Dong's demand.
During this process, Tang San observed Bibi Dong's internal soul power flow in greater detail and noticed the interaction between his life-attribute soul power and her death-attribute soul power. The complementary yet conflicting energies resonated, affecting both their bodies and minds, almost merging them entirely.
"Your Holiness, perhaps we should continue another day…" Tang San began to say, only to be startled as Bibi Dong's eyes glazed over and she suddenly embraced him.
Strangely, their soul powers continued to circulate, driven by some force.
"Something's wrong!" Alarmed, Tang San released his spiritual power to wake Bibi Dong, but his immense spiritual force caused no reaction in her spiritual sea, as if a higher power was blocking it.
Rakshasa power!
Tang San realized this and tried to break free, but a ripping sound stopped him as Bibi Dong tore his clothes.
"Elder Yi, help me! I'm going to die!"
Tang San desperately called for Electrolux's help, not wanting any entanglement with Bibi Dong. This woman was the true Black Widow, and any further involvement could mean being devoured!
Physically devoured!
Already, part of him was being consumed by Bibi Dong…
