Once faith is established, it becomes very difficult to shake, especially for someone like Qian Daoliu, who has received tangible benefits from his beliefs.
Convince him to betray the Angel God?
Don't be ridiculous!
He would rather die than abandon his faith.
If he were to become a god, Bo Saixi might find herself in an awkward position.
Because Bo Saixi never explicitly said she liked Tang Chen; she only said that whoever, between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, first breaks through to level 100, she would be with that person.
She knew perfectly well that Qian Daoliu had no chance of breaking through to level 100, so her words were clearly a rejection of Qian Daoliu.
But who would have thought that Tang Chen would actually take it seriously!
"Tang Chen, my talent is not as good as yours; I have no chance of breaking through to level 100."
"But my descendant will surely accomplish it!"
"My descendant will definitely be more outstanding than yours!"
As Qian Daoliu was chatting with Neuvillette he seemed to fall into deep thought, his expressions changing vividly.
Neuvillette slightly turned his head, exchanged a glance with Focalors, and the two "people" nodded, silently turning to leave.
They left Qian Daoliu there, continuing to reminisce about something.
After a while, Qian Daoliu snapped out of his thoughts and realized that Neuvillette and Focalors had long since left, feeling a bit confused.
Then he smiled wryly.
Fortunately, Neuvillette and Focalors had no intention of stopping the expansion of the Spirit Hall.
Otherwise, he would have to step in personally to persuade Bibi Dong.
This was the best news from their conversation.
"God-level, when will Xiaoxue be able to break through to god-level?"
Qian Renxue was his hope, the hope of restoring the glory of the Angel God, and there could be no mistakes!
The scene shifts to Neuvillette and Focalors.
After leaving the Worship Hall, the two "people" followed the remembered route down to the Holy Mountain.
They encountered no obstacles along the way.
These two had followed the second worshipper up the mountain, so what problems could there be?
Bibi Dong originally wanted to have a discussion with Neuvillette and Focalors, but after a brief moment of consideration, she gave up on the idea. Now was not the right time.
They had just come out of the Worship Hall, and summoning them to the Pope's Hall at this moment would be inappropriate.
"I hope you won't become obstacles on my path to success!"
A flash of killing intent appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes but was quickly concealed.
She acknowledged Neuvillette and Focalors' formidable strength, but without the ability to become gods, they were ultimately just more powerful ants.
Bibi Dong was different. Once she completed the divine trial, she would become the new Rakshasa God!
When she became the Rakshasa God, she would sweep across the entire Douluo Continent with absolute power, destroying the Spirit Hall, the empires, and the nobility!
The power of the Rakshasa God had long eroded Bibi Dong's mind, making her seem like a different person.
"Teacher (Your Holiness), Hu Liena (Xie Yue, Yan) requests an audience!"
At this moment, three voices came from outside the Pope's Hall, and Bibi Dong's expression returned to normal.
"Come in!"
After a moment, Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue appeared in the Pope's Hall.
The three of them saluted Bibi Dong again.
Hu Liena was Bibi Dong's direct disciple, and her personality perfectly mirrored Bibi Dong's.
Even when it came to being a traitor, she mirrored Bibi Dong.
Perhaps that was why Bibi Dong took her as a direct disciple.
The Spirit Hall had raised Bibi Dong, and Qian Xunji had gone to great lengths to make Bibi Dong the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, a position second only to the Pope.
But despite eating from the Spirit Hall, using the resources of the Spirit Hall, and enjoying supreme glory, Bibi Dong fell in love with a good-for-nothing!
Most critically, this good-for-nothing was a direct member of one of the top three sects.
For the sake of Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong even planned to defect from the Spirit Hall, which completely infuriated Qian Xunji.
Hu Liena's situation was similar to Bibi Dong's. She ate, lived, and enjoyed glory all provided by the Spirit Hall.
Yet, for the sake of love, she knowingly let Tang San escape when she shouldn't have!
If not for Hu Liena's "collusion," how could Tang San have escaped?
It truly is the Continent of Love, always either in love or on the path to love, even losing sanity and falling for someone from an enemy force.
If not for the high-level members of the Spirit Hall, how could Tang San have won against these three love-struck women?
"I've called you three here mainly to remind you: in the upcoming All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, absolutely do not break the rules."
"That one called Neuvillette will not turn a blind eye just because of the Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena and the others had strange expressions. Did they look like rule-breakers?
"Teacher (Your Holiness), please rest assured, we will definitely not break the rules!"
The three quickly responded. They had some guesses about what Bibi Dong meant, but they didn't know for sure.
"As long as you don't, the championship will be yours!"
With three Spirit Kings and four high-level Spirit Ancestors, Bibi Dong couldn't see how Hu Liena and the others could possibly lose!
Hu Liena and the others felt the same; they couldn't imagine how they could lose.
And don't forget, they had the Spirit Fusion ability!
A Spirit King level Martial Soul Fusion technique guaranteed that they couldn't lose.
With such a configuration, as long as they didn't get disqualified for breaking the rules, victory was assured!
The championship reward for this All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament was three spirit bones. Everyone knew that these three spirit bones were secured by Bibi Dong for Hu Liena and the others.
Even the attributes of the spirit bones were selected based on their own attributes!
Directly rewarding them with the spirit bones wasn't approved by the elders, as the three hadn't made significant contributions to the Spirit Hall.
Especially Hu Liena, who was merely the Pope's disciple, not the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. Why should she enjoy the treatment reserved for the Holy Maiden?
Winning the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament and bringing glory to the Spirit Hall would justify rewarding them with the spirit bones.
It was just a matter of transferring from one hand to the other...
However, they didn't know that in the original timeline, a Shrek team would emerge, defeating the Spirit Hall team despite being the underdogs.
Not only did Bibi Dong not anticipate it, no one did!
It was entirely due to Tang San's exceptional abilities; otherwise, how could they have lost?
Whenever there was something insurmountable, it was either a Tang Sect secret technique or a Tang Sect hidden weapon or skill. None of it was originally his.
Even after becoming a god, he continued using the Sea God's Thirteen Halberds.
Thousands of years later, all these things that didn't originally belong to Tang San were attributed to him.
Everything was claimed to be his creation, making him seem invincible!
The Sea God's Thirteen Halberds, originally belonging to the former Sea God Poseidon, were also claimed to be created by Tang San!
This shamelessness was truly terrifying.
"You may leave now. Rest well for a few days. I look forward to your performance in the tournament!"
"We won't let you down, Teacher (Your Holiness)!"
