"Xu Ran, you couldn't possibly be toying with me," said Bi Bidong, agitated. She always felt that Xu Ran was joking. Offending the entire Divine Realm, how could that be possible?
The Divine Realm is not governed by a single god. If what Xu Ran described were true, even with his strength comparable to that of the gods, he would have no place for his corpse in death.
Even with the powerful Gu Yuena by his side, they couldn't possibly protect him.
"I wish I was joking," Xu Ran said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders. He was helpless too, but his identity made him an enemy of the Divine Realm. With his pride, he wouldn't allow any force to suppress him.
However, everything had come much faster than he had anticipated.
He originally planned to become invincible before seeking out the Divine Realm, in one fell swoop suppressing it.
"Oh. It's a pity I can't help you," Bi Bidong replied softly, observing the carefree smile on Xu Ran's face, suddenly feeling constrained. Even as the Pope, she might not become a god.
Now, her chances of becoming a god were even more remote. It seemed the Rakshasa God had chosen Tang San as the Inheritor. Although Tang San had a lower "Cultivation Level" than hers, the Rakshasa's Breath within him far surpassed hers.
In other words, Tang San had a better chance of becoming the Rakshasa God than she did.
Being the Inheritor of the Rakshasa God, if she failed to break through to the Rakshasa God, she would never have another chance to become a god in this lifetime.
"I'm enough by myself. If you really want to help me, then marry me. Who knows, I might feel better all of a sudden, and the likelihood of successfully combating the Divine Realm might increase a bit," Xu Ran said with interest, gazing at Bi Bidong's beautiful, dignified, and incomparably stunning visage.
Bi Bidong's beauty surpassed that of others.
Before others had matured, only Gu Yuena was slightly more beautiful than Bi Bidong.
"Don't flatter yourself too much, I will not marry you. However, I won't kill you either. You are Xue'er's future husband and, in the future, will belong to Martial Soul Hall," Bi Bidong said earnestly.
After several days of contemplation, she no longer regarded Xu Ran as an enemy.
Xu Ran was the man Qian Renxue loved the most. If she opposed Xu Ran, wouldn't she be pushing Xue'er to her opposing side?
Based on this, it was impossible for her to truly oppose Xu Ran.
Moreover, with her current strength, she might not be a match for Xu Ran even if she bet the entire Martial Soul Hall on it.
Although Xu Ran had never made a move in front of her, the natural aura of a king emanating from him was something she couldn't match. She had a feeling that if Xu Ran made a move, he could defeat all the Titled Douluo of Martial Soul Hall put together.
Under such circumstances, the only option left to her was to seek cooperation with Xu Ran.
Furthermore, once Xue'er and Xu Ran were together, Xu Ran would essentially be entering the core of Martial Soul Hall. Merely as Xue'er's husband, Xu Ran's position within Martial Soul Hall would not be low.
Even as she was the Pope now, in the eyes of those core Elders and guest elders in Elder Hall, Qian Renxue would undeniably be the rightful leader of Martial Soul Hall. And since Xue'er was a woman, her husband's status would be very high. Coupled with Xu Ran's own strength, once Xu Ran entered Martial Soul Hall, he would likely be extremely influential.
However, after getting to know Xu Ran, she suddenly found her past days within Martial Soul Hall terribly dull and tedious. Even as the Pope, she felt feeble compared to Xu Ran.
Then what was the point of being the Pope?
Even if Xu Ran took away her position as Pope, she wouldn't feel sorry. What she cared about now was becoming a god!
If Xu Ran could become a god, she naturally could too!
"Hmm? You don't plan to kill me anymore?" Xu Ran looked at Bi Bidong and said seriously. Before, Bi Bidong had seemed ready to fight to the death against him, willing to pay any price for the sake of avenging Yu Xiaogang.
Now her attitude had changed somewhat quickly.
"Don't get the wrong idea, I'm doing this for Xue'er and Brock. I personally really dislike you. But for the greater good, I've decided to make peace with you." Bi Bidong proudly puffed up her impressive chest and declared as if it were her due.
Not that she liked Xu Ran. With Xu Ran being so shameless, even if he was extremely tempting, it was impossible for her to like him.
"Really?" Xu Ran raised an eyebrow.
"Of course it's true, and now I don't value the Martial Soul Hall that much. My goal now is to achieve godhood," Bi Bidong declared haughtily, lifting her snow-white neck with pride.
What Xu Ran could do, she could do too. Even if her talent couldn't match Xu Ran's and she couldn't reach his height, she at least had to become a god first.
Who knows, if she became a god faster, there might be a chance to teach Xu Ran a lesson in the future.
"Becoming a god? The Rakshasa God?" Xu Ran pursed his lips. Bi Bidong had the aura of the Rakshasa God, typically one couldn't inherit another godhood.
"How do you know?" Bi Bidong's pupils constricted. She had never told anyone else about her inheritance of the Rakshasa God. She had kept it deeply hidden, and it was unexpected that Xu Ran had seen through her in just a few days.
"You are my woman, naturally, I know," he said.
"But now you can't inherit the Rakshasa God, Tang San has already gained the favor of the Rakshasa God. You should be able to feel it too. He possesses an even purer Rakshasa God Power," Xu Ran said pointedly.
Tang San's possible inheritance of the Rakshasa God had also been facilitated by him, aimed at preventing Bi Bidong from inheriting the title of Rakshasa God.
Bi Bidong was originally the Killing God of Slaughter City, and had it not been for the interference of the Rakshasa God, she might have already become the Asura God by now.
"How do you know all of this?" Bi Bidong was somewhat dumbfounded. She stared at Xu Ran, who now seemed like a sage who had settled all the affairs of the world and knew everything that was happening.
"There's nothing in the world I don't know, including the color of the undergarments you're wearing today," Xu Ran's mouth turned up at the corners. Bi Bidong's skirt today was rather thin, and from up close, Xu Ran could vaguely make out those shapes and colors.
"Shameless! With such strength, you should be using it for good causes." Bi Bidong flushed, bowing her head and gazing at her own figure, feeling uneasy. Facing Xu Ran's gaze, she always felt stripped bare.
With Xu Ran's strength, he could naturally see through clothes to the essence beneath. In fact, if Xu Ran wanted to, he could see anything. But he didn't use this ability often, only occasionally. Essentially, Xu Ran was still a gentleman.
"Can you help me then? You're so powerful, and if I can't inherit the Rakshasa God, surely you can help me get another godhood." Bi Bidong rolled her eyes playfully and said deliberately.
Though Xu Ran was indeed powerful, godhood wasn't something he could just give away.
She didn't believe Xu Ran had that ability.
