[Since I've already written about Bibi Dong's Rakshasa God, Qian Renxue's Angel God, and Tang San's Sea God and Asura God, I have to mention the final battle at Jialing Pass!]
At this moment, the curiosity of all the women was piqued again. What was the Battle of Jialing Pass? And how did Tang San end up with both the Sea God and Asura God positions?
Bibi Dong was particularly puzzled. Isn't it generally impossible to inherit two god positions? How did Su Ming claim that Tang San had both the Sea God and Asura God positions? Did he go through some special process?
[The Battle of Jialing Pass was the decisive battle between the newly established Wuhun Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire. If the Wuhun Empire had won at Jialing Pass, the destruction of the Heaven Dou Empire would have been all but certain!]
[Unfortunately, fate didn't go as planned. Even though the Wuhun Empire had two gods—Rakshasa God Bibi Dong and Angel God Qian Renxue—they still lost to Tang San and his group of protagonists!]
[Two gods lost to one god, which is pretty ridiculous. Even if Tang San had two god positions.]
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's faces darkened upon reading this. They hadn't expected that Tang San would become so powerful, to the point that the two of them together couldn't defeat him!
Meanwhile, the other women began to wonder about the fates of their sects during this massive war between the Wuhun Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.
[Originally, Tang San was defeated—he even lost his life—but the outcome changed unexpectedly due to Ning Rongrong and Oscar!]
Everyone's interest was immediately piqued. They knew Su Ming was about to reveal some juicy plot twists, especially Bibi Dong and her allies, as this involved them directly.
[Tang San had already died, but his body was recovered by his group. In the end, he was revived by Ning Rongrong and Oscar's martial soul fusion skill, Resurrection Divine Light!]
The women were shocked to learn that Ning Rongrong and Oscar's martial soul fusion skill was capable of resurrection. They thought that was incredibly powerful!
However, what they didn't know was that Oscar was the key to this. If it weren't for Oscar gaining the approval of the God of Food, Ning Rongrong would never have received the Nine-Colored Goddess's inheritance. After all, Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda didn't quite align with the Nine-Colored Goddess—someone with the Nine Heart Begonia martial spirit was a better fit. But because the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess were married, Ning Rongrong was able to inherit the Nine-Colored Goddess's legacy.
[Speaking of which, Ning Rongrong had to watch her Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa die in order to save Tang San, their bodies torn apart. Even her father, Ning Fengzhi, was devastated, his hair turning white overnight. Yet Ning Rongrong chose to revive Tang San while Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo couldn't be revived!]
Ning Rongrong's face turned pale as she read this, her lips trembling as she muttered, "No, this can't be true. I would never do that!"
Tears involuntarily streamed down her face as she felt immense pain in her heart. Since she was a child, her Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa had loved her dearly, treating her like their own granddaughter. To think that their bodies were destroyed beyond recovery... If given another chance, she swore she wouldn't make the same choice. She had always been somewhat spoiled—what harm would there be in being selfish just one more time?
From this revelation, she also realized that her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must have sided with Tang San during the war against the Wuhun Empire. If they hadn't allied with Tang San, would the outcome have been different? Could her Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa have survived?
[In fact, in my previous life, many people accused Ning Rongrong and Oscar of being ingrates and traitors for choosing to revive Tang San instead of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. These two loved Ning Rongrong the most, after all!]
Ning Rongrong's heart ached terribly. She never imagined she'd be called an ingrate. How could she accept such a label? Why did she make that choice at the time?
[But those people are just haters!]
[Do you think Ning Rongrong didn't want to revive her Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa? Do you think she didn't feel heartbroken?]
[You have to understand, while Ning Rongrong and Oscar could cast Resurrection Divine Light, it had serious limitations!]
[First, the person being revived needed to have a mostly intact body. This alone disqualified Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, as their bodies had been shattered into pieces!]
[Secondly, Resurrection Divine Light could only be used once per month, and the target had to have been dead for no more than one hour.]
[The conditions for using Resurrection Divine Light were incredibly harsh. Yet people from my previous life still relentlessly accused Ning Rongrong of being a traitor, for choosing to revive Tang San instead of her grandfathers.]
[Personally, I don't agree with that criticism. Ning Rongrong must have been heartbroken at the time, but she had no choice—she could only revive Tang San!]
[Even if Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's bodies were intact, Ning Rongrong still would have had to revive Tang San. At that time, the Heaven Dou Empire could have survived without Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, but it absolutely could not have survived without Tang San!]
[If she had chosen to revive her grandfathers, the result would have been that they all would have died in the end anyway!]
[Also, as far as I remember, Resurrection Divine Light could only revive one person at a time. How could she have revived both of her grandfathers simultaneously?]
The other women, after reading Su Ming's diary entry, began to understand the situation. Overall, they realized that Ning Rongrong had been in an impossible position. She was truly pitiful. Many people had called her an ingrate, but under those circumstances, she had no real choice.
Even if she had revived her two grandfathers, without Tang San's leadership, they wouldn't have been able to defeat the Wuhun Empire. In the end, her grandfathers would have died again. What would have been the point?
Of course, they were merely observers and could see the bigger picture. Ning Rongrong, who had actually been there, must have been the one suffering the most.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, however, focused on something different. Tang San truly lived up to his role as the "Son of Destiny." Even though the two of them, as gods, managed to kill him, he was revived. It was simply absurd!
[If you ask me, Ning Fengzhi's greatest mistake was aligning with Tang San and pulling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into his camp.]
[I can understand Ning Fengzhi's eagerness to recruit talent. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a purely support-type sect, and its strongest members were Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. They needed talented fighters to join their ranks or at least build strong alliances. Otherwise, once Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were gone, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be in dire straits!]
Though Ning Rongrong was still young, she was smart enough to realize that Su Ming's diary hinted at her sect's bleak future if they followed Tang San. If her father ever wanted to align with Tang San, she'd have to think of a way to prevent it!
