The morning sun bathed Krishna's divine palace in a golden glow, its rays illuminating the grand halls where the Dean and Vice Dean stirred awake. As they opened their eyes, they saw Krishna—once again in his child form—preparing a meal. The rich aroma of divine spirit fruits and fragrant rice filled the air, creating a sense of warmth and tranquility.
"Good morning," the Dean greeted, stretching. "You've made breakfast?"
Krishna smiled. "Yes, let's eat and regain our energy."
The three of them sat down, savoring each bite. "Krishna, your food is delicious," the Vice Dean complimented.
Krishna chuckled. "Of course! Everything here is grown in my kingdom—it contains far more energy than anything from the outside world."
After finishing their meal, they sipped warm tea, allowing its soothing effect to settle in. Krishna placed his cup down and looked at them with a serious expression. "I have something important to discuss."
The Vice Dean nodded, intrigued. "Go ahead. We're listening."
Krishna's voice turned grave as he explained the plight of Bibi Dong. "Qian Xunji has placed her under house arrest… He intends to force her into bearing his child." His tone darkened. "This is unacceptable. I plan to rescue her and grant her a place as a goddess in my kingdom."
The Dean and Vice Dean exchanged glances before responding. "We understand that we may not be your only wives, but promise us one thing—don't forget about us."
Krishna stood and walked towards them, a playful yet reassuring glint in his eyes. "Fools," he said with a smirk. "You are goddesses in my kingdom now. You will never be apart from me. I will love all of you."
They smiled, reassured. "Thank you. Now, focus on how you will rescue her."
With that, they returned to their academy, each retreating to their respective chambers. Krishna, however, remained still, closing his eyes in deep meditation. Slowly, his consciousness connected with the Douluo Plane, allowing him to peer into Bibi Dong's surroundings.
What he saw enraged him.
She was struggling, bound by fate and chains alike. The time within the chamber froze at his command.
"Hello, Bibi Dong," he spoke gently.
Her eyes widened in shock. She instinctively struggled harder, fear gripping her heart. "Who—who are you?" she asked in her thoughts.
"My name is Krishna," he answered. "I can save you. But know this—your suffering is not just at the hands of your teacher. Your so-called lover has wronged you as well."
Bibi Dong's anger flared. "What do you know about him?! Grandmaster is a master of Martial Soul theory!"
Krishna chuckled softly. "Oh? Then tell me—when he said, 'There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters,' was he not defining himself? And if there are only two types of martial souls—beast and tool—then what exactly are the Angel and Sea God martial souls?"
Bibi Dong was left speechless.
Without another word, Krishna conjured a screen in front of her, revealing scenes from the past. She saw Xiao Gang—her supposed love—meeting Flender and then Liu Erlong, a woman with a powerful Fire Dragon Martial Soul. The memories played out in front of her, showing how he used his theories to manipulate them, how he swayed Liu Erlong's heart with his hypocritical charm.
Tears welled in Bibi Dong's eyes. Her heart clenched at the betrayal.
"What do you want?" she asked, her voice trembling. "How will you save me?"
Krishna's expression softened. "You have suffered enough. I want to change your future."
She looked at him, uncertainty in her gaze. "You can see my future? And… change it?"
"Yes," Krishna nodded. "If I do nothing, you will be forced into bearing a child, and that child will carry the burden of your pain. But I will change this fate. Someone else will bear that responsibility instead. And you, Bibi Dong, will rise to control the Spirit Hall as its true leader. I will also grant you godhood."
Bibi Dong gasped. "You can make me a goddess? What… do you want in return?"
Krishna's gaze locked onto hers. "Only my wife can become a goddess in my kingdom. The choice is yours, but I must act quickly—if I stay here too long, the God Realm will sense this disturbance."
Silence filled the chamber.
Bibi Dong's mind raced. For so long, she had been a pawn in the hands of others, caged by the expectations and schemes of those around her. But now, an opportunity stood before her—freedom, power, and a future of her own choosing.
She exhaled and looked into Krishna's eyes. "I agree."
A golden light enveloped her as Krishna spoke once more. "Your Martial Soul is of darkness. Then, I shall grant you the divine position of Goddess of Darkness."
As the divine energy merged with her, she broke through Level 70 instantly.
"Do not absorb a soul ring yet," Krishna instructed. "I will grant you one myself. But for now, seek permission to hunt your seventh soul ring and meet me at Sunset Forest. We will discuss the rest there."
He then turned his attention to Qian Xunji. With a wave of his hand, he transported the wretched man to a separate chamber, ensuring he would be dealt with accordingly.
Before leaving, he sent a final message to Bibi Dong.
"Use your divine link to reach me whenever needed. In an emergency, you may enter my Kingdom of God."
With that, Krishna vanished, leaving behind a future forever altered.
