Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Bibi Dong’s Doubt – Why Is Sacrifice Necessary?

The moment Qian Renxue finished speaking, the heated exchange between Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu stopped. Surprised, Qian Daoliu looked at her, and a brief silence filled the Pope's Hall.

After a moment, Qian Daoliu sighed and turned to Qian Renxue. "Xiaoxue, how did you learn of this? Was it Bibi Dong who told you?"

He guessed that since Bibi Dong was also undergoing divine trials, she might have informed her.

Bibi Dong: ???

Qian Renxue shook her head. "Grandfather, Mother didn't tell me. It doesn't matter who did. Just tell me if it's true. If it is, how can I take the trials in peace? You'd make me carry the guilt for life, Grandfather!"

Qian Daoliu had expected this reaction, which was why he'd never told her about his planned sacrifice.

But if it wasn't Bibi Dong, who else could have known about it?

"Xiaoxue," he said, "I had a reason for not telling you. Look at how you're reacting. Our Qian family has finally produced someone capable of inheriting the Angel God's position, and that someone is my granddaughter! How could I give that up? To make you the Angel God, I'd gladly sacrifice myself."

Qian Renxue knew how much her grandfather loved her, and that was precisely why she couldn't bear the thought of his sacrifice.

As Bibi Dong listened, a frown formed as a question weighed on her mind.

Hu Liena, watching her teacher closely, couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, is something wrong?"

Hu Liena's voice drew the attention of Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, and she immediately shrank under their gaze, feeling her low rank and strength in this setting.

Bibi Dong turned to Qian Daoliu, voicing her doubt, "Qian Daoliu, does the Angel God's trial absolutely require you to sacrifice yourself to complete it?"

The necessity of sacrifice puzzled her, something she'd only just realized. So far, from what she knew, the trials of the Rakshasa God and the Asura God didn't require sacrifice—she was completing hers alone, and she suspected Tang Chen's had been the same.

But the Angel and Sea God trials required it. Why?

Qian Daoliu gave her a deep look before answering. "My sacrifice isn't needed from the beginning, but once Xiaoxue completes the eighth Angel Trial, I must sacrifice myself to unlock the ninth trial."

"As for why, I don't know. Xiaoxue is the first to have ever been able to undergo these trials, so from the day I became the High Priest, I knew this was my destiny, a path set for me."

"Thankfully, the one to undertake the trials is my granddaughter. This way, I can at least ease some of her burdens during the first eight trials," he finished, a faint smile forming.

"Bibi Dong, you're currently undergoing a divine trial yourself, right? I could sense faint divine power from you just now, and it conflicts with Angelic Divine Power," Qian Daoliu said, his brows furrowing.

His own Angelic Divine Power was attuned to Bibi Dong's aura, which carried an opposing force, something dark rather than radiant.

Bibi Dong was unsurprised by his question; she had intentionally shown some of her Rakshasa power, thinking it might help make her case for Qian Renxue's choice.

"Yes," Bibi Dong confirmed. "I am undergoing the Rakshasa God's trials and have already reached the eighth one. And I am doing it alone; no sacrifice is required, which is why I had to ask."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu was briefly stunned. No sacrifice required?

How ironic.

Then he offered an explanation. "Perhaps it's because the Angel God has perished, leaving limited power for the trials. That could be why I need to sacrifice myself."

As High Priest, he sensed that the Angel God had fallen. Every time he tapped into his Angelic Divine Power, its store seemed to diminish without replenishment. This had been a source of caution for him, particularly concerning Tang Chen.

If he used his full power, he wouldn't fear Tang Chen. But as High Priest, he had a duty to reserve his strength, in case someone capable of undergoing the trials appeared in his generation.

And since he and Tang Chen had once been close, he found no honor in fighting by hovering out of reach.

Bibi Dong, however, was unsatisfied with his answer. She shook her head slightly. The answer she sought was different because she knew that the Sea God hadn't perished either, yet Bo Saixi still had to sacrifice herself to unlock the ninth trial.

She felt an underlying scheme. Why must a High Priest or someone of comparable strength always be sacrificed?

Sacrifice seemed arbitrary in nature, yet the more "righteous" gods, like the Angel God and the Sea God, demanded it.

After a moment's silence, Bibi Dong shook her head. She couldn't probe further just yet but felt certain of one thing:

The necessity of sacrifice lay with the deity's own design.

And Bibi Dong's mistrust of the Sea God deepened. She couldn't shake the feeling that certain events in Spirit Hall were somehow linked to him—and perhaps this matter was no different.


Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Your Death Would Leave a Demonic Flaw in Xiaoxue's Heart!

As Qian Daoliu considered his answer, he was still uncertain. But before he could think of other reasons, Bibi Dong interjected, "Qian Daoliu, I understand you want the best for Xiaoxue, but have you considered the impact your death would have on her?"

"If you sacrifice yourself for Xiaoxue, it might leave a demonic flaw in her heart, creating a weakness that could hinder her future growth and make her vulnerable." Bibi Dong's tone was serious.

Qian Renxue looked at her grandfather and nodded, "Grandfather, Mother has a point. Can we delay the divine trials and find another solution? I don't want you to die."

Qian Daoliu hadn't thought that Bibi Dong would consider such things and sighed, "Alright, let's go with your suggestion."

Though he agreed, he was doubtful. If there were another way, he would have found it long ago.

Seeing his hesitation, Bibi Dong added, "Don't worry too much, Qian Daoliu. There has to be a solution. Once I achieve the position of Rakshasa God, maybe I can use my divine power to help Xiaoxue complete the ninth trial."

Qian Daoliu's eyes lit up. Though he didn't know if another god's power could activate the ninth trial, it was worth a try. Now that Bibi Dong had mended her relationship with Qian Renxue, he was willing to consider her suggestion.

When Qian Renxue saw her grandfather finally relax, she sighed with relief.

"Grandfather, does this mean you'll allow me to participate in the Soul Master Elite Competition now? If I don't participate, Spirit Hall will likely lose."

"Oh? You're referring to the Heaven Dou team?"

Though he usually resided in the Angel Shrine, Qian Daoliu was aware of external events. This year's Heaven Dou team was renowned for their impressive strength.

From what he'd heard, Heaven Dou's team captain, Su Ming, had an unexpectedly close relationship with Xiaoxue—even calling her his sister.

Qian Renxue nodded, "According to Elder Ghost, Su Ming has already reached level 65. The team also includes three Soul Kings, with the rest being Soul Elders."

Qian Daoliu was surprised but thought of Spirit Hall's strength and wondered, "If I recall, Hu Liena should have three spirit bones by now, with her power at level 67. And she can perform a Martial Soul Fusion with Xie Yue. Even so, they can't handle Su Ming?"

He turned to Hu Liena, whose pressure was palpable under his gaze. After Qian Renxue explained, Qian Daoliu finally understood the situation: Su Ming, at level 65, already possessed a Title Douluo's strength.

If that were true, Spirit Hall's team would indeed be at a disadvantage unless Xiaoxue joined the fray.

Luckily, Su Ming planned to join Spirit Hall after the competition. Qian Daoliu was relieved. Such a prodigy was not someone he wished to antagonize.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, he wasn't concerned; Xiaoxue's presence would intimidate their rivals. Spirit Hall could start revealing its ambitions.

With that, Qian Daoliu returned to the shrine.

"Mother, do you think Su Ming will accuse us of not playing fair if I join the competition?" Qian Renxue chuckled.

She wondered how Su Ming would react when he saw her competing.

Bibi Dong smiled, "I doubt he'll say anything. He'd likely enjoy fighting you; with his abilities, it'd be like playing against children otherwise."

Hu Liena felt helpless; her abilities were no match for Su Ming's.

"By the way, Mother, are you planning something soon?" Qian Renxue asked, sensing an air of change in Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong looked at her with a knowing glint. "Yes, you'll see tomorrow. I plan to ruin Yu Xiaogang completely."

Hu Liena could only offer a moment of pity to Yu Xiaogang—half a second, actually. Her teacher was ruthless. Yu Xiaogang was already a broken man, relying solely on his theories. Now, even those were about to be stripped away.

At midnight, a system prompt echoed for Su Ming.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing today's journal entry. Rewards granted: Spirit Evolution Card, First Spirit Ring increased by 50,000 years!]

[The Spirit Evolution Card grants your Wood Element Spirit an evolution opportunity upon obtaining your seventh spirit ring.]

Seeing these rewards, Su Ming felt it had been worth the lengthy journal entry today.

He sensed a major enhancement in his first spirit ring after its advancement to 100,000 years, which now held transformative potential. Due to the system's upgrade, the ring retained only one ability, but its effectiveness increased drastically.

Originally, the passive and active effects of his first ring doubled the durability of wood, a total increase of four times. Now, both aspects enhanced it by 500%, for a total increase of thirty-six times—an astonishing improvement.

And the Spirit Evolution Card filled him with anticipation.

His Wood Element spirit was initially of high quality, and with the system's enhancement and the extreme wood attribute, it was now at the pinnacle of top-tier spirits. Would the evolution transform it into a god-level spirit?

Elsewhere, another system notification appeared:

[Ding! Most-mentioned heroine today: Hu Liena. Award granted.]

[Ding! Critical Hit! Rewards include Spirit Evolution Card, Mental Power Enhancement, and Charm Mastery.]

Hu Liena:

While delighted with her reward, she hoped it would boost her odds in the competition. But the system seemed to be pushing her toward mastery of extreme charm instead.

Though her allure might not affect Su Ming, it would likely work on others. She could fully focus on supporting Sister Xue in the matches.
