Su Ming paused for a moment as he wrote in his diary, then continued.
[Speaking of the Divine Bestowed Spirit Ring, as far as I remember, only the Sea God and Angel God provide it during their divine trials. The Asura God and Rakshasa God don't give it.]
When Bibi Dong saw this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She had suspected as much—there was no way the Rakshasa God could be so stingy. It seemed that not every god bestowed a Divine Spirit Ring. Even the Asura God didn't give one!
Meanwhile, the other female leads were equally shocked, though their focus was different from Bibi Dong's. They were stunned to realize that gods truly existed in this world. Su Ming had already mentioned four of them!
Some even speculated that the Angel God might be related to the Spirit Hall's Six-Winged Angel Spirit.
[Since we're talking about divine trials, let's delve into it. The Sea God's trial gives the most rewards, including the Sea God's exclusive skill: Sea God's Light.]
[Sea God's Light carries both ocean and light attributes, allowing it to counter marine soul beasts and dark-attribute soul beasts to a certain extent. The same applies to martial spirits!]
[In addition to Sea God's Light, passing the Sea God's trial also grants a Divine Bestowed Spirit Ring and an increase in spirit ring age. And most importantly, the ultimate reward is the Sea God's exclusive artifact, the Sea God Trident!]
[Among all the divine trials, the Sea God is the most generous!]
[Next is the Angel God's trial. The Angel God's trial is specifically designed for soul masters with the Six-Winged Angel martial spirit, which only applies to the Qian family of the Spirit Hall. Qian Daoliu is the Grand Worship of the Angel Shrine!]
[Qian Renxue's innate spirit power of level 20 is actually a blessing from the Angel God. Ten of those levels come directly from the Angel God, which means Qian Renxue was preordained as the Angel God's successor. And indeed, in the original story, she inherited the Angel God's position!]
[In the Angel Shrine, there's a set of inheritance spirit bones, each with a spirit bone age of 99,999 years. Only the Angel God's successor can absorb all six bones. Once they're fully absorbed, the bones will fuse into the Angel Set, transforming into ten-thousand-year spirit bones!]
[This reward is even better than the Sea God's trial, providing a complete spirit bone set that eventually reaches the ten-thousand-year level!]
[There's also a Divine Bestowed Spirit Ring and the artifact, the Angelic Holy Sword. As for whether there's an increase in spirit ring age, I can't quite remember. But I do recall that when Qian Renxue passed the seventh trial, her spirit ring configuration was still yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, and she didn't even have a single ten-thousand-year spirit ring. That really doesn't match her status as the Angel God's successor!]
[Meanwhile, Tang San's spirit ring ages increased by 50,000 years after passing the Sea God's trial, giving him spirit rings with a minimum age of 100,000 years! That kind of boost is insane!]
Everyone was shocked—Tang San was actually the Sea God's chosen successor! This hit Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena especially hard. Based on Su Ming's previous diary entries, they knew Tang San would inevitably become an enemy of the Spirit Hall.
But with Su Ming around, it seemed he wouldn't let Tang San become the Sea God's successor. Su Ming clearly didn't have a favorable view of Tang San, and the diary itself even issued tasks against him. So for now, they didn't need to worry too much.
[Then there's the Asura God's trial. The Asura God placed his divine trial in the Slaughter City. Anyone who can make it through the Hell Road can obtain the Killing God Domain.]
[Once someone obtains the Killing God Domain, they qualify to undergo the Asura God's trial. If I'm not mistaken, passing through the Hell Road and obtaining the Killing God Domain is considered the first trial of the Asura God's test!]
[The Killing God Domain contains a small fragment of the Asura God's consciousness, and from those who possess the domain, he chooses his successor.]
[Currently, those who possess the Killing God Domain include Tang Chen, Bibi Dong, and Tang Hao.]
[The Asura God initially chose Tang Chen as his successor after he passed through the Hell Road, but Tang Chen failed his trial after being possessed by the Nine-Headed Blood Bat when he tried to claim the Asura God Sword. He became the King of Slaughter in the Slaughter City instead!]
Upon learning this, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue gained a crucial piece of information. They had always wondered where Tang Chen had disappeared to all these years, and now they knew—he had become the King of Slaughter in the Slaughter City!
Tang Chen's uncertain fate had always been a concern for Bibi Dong, as she knew the Clear Sky Sect still posed a potential threat with Tang Chen possibly lurking somewhere.
[As for the rewards from the Asura God's trial, I don't remember much beyond the Killing God Domain and the Asura God Sword.]
[After Tang Chen, the next best candidate to inherit the Asura God's position was actually Bibi Dong. But the Rakshasa God intervened and snatched her away midway through!]
[The Rakshasa God and Asura God are mortal enemies, so the Rakshasa God deliberately set up his trial in the Slaughter City and intercepted Bibi Dong!]
[Speaking of the Rakshasa God's trial, there's not much to say. Why? Because after passing the Rakshasa God's trial, you get absolutely nothing. No Divine Bestowed Spirit Ring, no domains, no artifact, no increase in spirit ring age—nothing!]
[The Rakshasa God is incredibly stingy. After snatching Bibi Dong away, he gave her absolutely nothing, while constantly corrupting her mind with his evil aura. Bibi Dong is practically a martyr!]
[Compared to the rewards from the other gods' trials, Bibi Dong's situation is just tragic. All she got in the end was a godly position—no exclusive artifact, nothing. Of all the gods, she's the only one without an artifact. It's just... well, let's leave it at that.]
Reading Su Ming's diary, Bibi Dong felt each word pierce her heart like a dagger. The pain was so overwhelming that she could barely breathe!
Why?
Why did I receive nothing after passing the divine trial?!
Originally, she had thought that only the Sea God was generous with rewards, and that other gods' trials might be similar to hers.
But what did she just learn?!
Qian Renxue's rewards from the Angel God trial, and even the Asura God's trial, all came with substantial rewards!
Only she... got nothing!
She felt like her heart was about to shatter.
How could a god be so stingy? After intercepting her from the Asura God, couldn't the Rakshasa God have given her at least something? Instead, she got no rewards and had to constantly endure the evil aura corrupting her mind. It was unbearable!
If she weren't already bound to the Rakshasa God's trial—where quitting meant certain death—she would have given up long ago!
[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!
