"Of course," Xu Ran nodded with pleasure.
With his ambition, he could grant godhood to those by his side. He absolutely didn't want to live eternally himself, only to watch as those around him aged and died one by one.
Once he gained control of the Divine Realm, he would rewrite its rules; his women would all become goddesses.
Perhaps this approach was overly selfish, but what did the interests of other people have to do with him?
When he was satisfied, he could be a Bodhisattva and ferry the souls of all beings. But if he was displeased, what were those beings to him?
"Pfft, do you think godhood is as common as cabbages? You think you can just give it away to anyone you please?" Bi Bidong chuckled, her laughter seemingly dimming the luster of the world around her. Even behind a mask, Xu Ran still caught a glimpse of Bi Bidong's peerless beauty.
If Qian Renxue's smile could topple cities, then Bi Bidong's could cause disasters, bewildering the hearts of all.
If Bi Bidong weren't Pope but instead became a mere fox, learning Charm Techniques like Hulena, she could surely bewitch all the men in the world to their deaths.
It was strange, Bi Bidong's Martial Soul was originally that of a spider, a Martial Soul of darkness and evil, yet she possessed an aura of tranquility, elegance, and nobility, as if two extremes were fused in her.
Perhaps it was this very extreme that made Bi Bidong's personality so volatile; if she was gentle, she was exceedingly so, the epitome of a virtuous wife and loving mother, but if she veered towards evil, she would be like a Rakshasa specter.
"I cannot grant you godhood, but I can provide you with the conditions to become a deity," Xu Ran waved his hand, dismissing the notion. After all, he was someone who had slain a deity, the Rakshasa God had been cleaved into nothing but a fragment of a divine soul by his blade.
A powerhouse like him, if others had encountered him, they might very well kneel on the ground and beg for such an opportunity. Bi Bidong, however, didn't realize the fortune she was in.
"What conditions?" Seeing that Xu Ran wasn't joking, Bi Bidong's expression instantly turned serious. Becoming a deity was a matter of utmost importance. For a long time, she had been preparing for divinity.
Previously, she wanted to inherit the Rakshasa God, but now, that path was no longer viable.
Logically speaking, no matter how gifted she was, it would be impossible for her to inherit any other godhood.
Because her body already contained the essence of the Rakshasa God, inheriting another godhood would contaminate the Divine Power with the essence of the Rakshasa God. The other gods wouldn't be so foolish; they would rather compromise and select a weaker inheritor than to allow their godhood to become impure.
This was the very dilemma she faced now.
"I can help you remove the essence of the Rakshasa God from your body, and then you will become a free person once again. After that, you can freely choose another god to be assessed by, like the unclaimed godhood of Slaughter City, the Asura God."
At this moment, Bi Bidong was as if she had already signed a half-contract with the Rakshasa God, and she could renegotiate with other gods only after rescinding it. However, as a human from the lower realm, rescinding such contracts was difficult. Gods, on the other hand, could casually choose other inheritors.
"This..."
"Xu Ran, are you serious?"
Bi Bidong took a deep breath; if what Xu Ran said was true, she could indeed seek to inherit another position of divinity through this method.
Even better, she could make a superior choice.
That would be the Asura God of Slaughter City.
The Asura God was much more powerful than the Rakshasa God.
Previously, she was one of the Killing Gods of Slaughter City. Just as she was about to attain the Killing God Field through Hell Road, she was prematurely chosen by the Rakshasa God. As long as Xu Ran could help her remove the Rakshasa God Power from her body, she could start the Asura God trial.
She was confident that with her talent, she was destined to become a god. In ten thousand years, she was the second person to possess Twin Martial Souls.
"I'm certainly serious. But I'm injured right now and can't use too much strength. Once I've recovered, I can help you," Xu Ran gestured with his hand. The last mission issued by the System was also this, conveniently allowing him to solve it in one go.
He now possessed the five supreme Divine Power attributes of Life, Destruction, Shan Liang, Evil, and Slaughter from the Divine Realm. The fusion of these five attributes would help Bi Bidong remove the Rakshasa God Power.
For Xu Ran, this was not difficult.
"Good, I'll wait for you," Bi Bidong nodded deeply.
Suddenly, she felt Xu Ran was not so detestable after all, aside from making her witness many things inappropriate for children and often taking advantage of her, she had not suffered much loss.
On the contrary, she had learned a lot from Xu Ran.
If it were up to her alone, becoming a god would be almost hopeless. Unless she strangled Tang San in his cradle, then she might have a chance to become a god. But Xiao San was Brock's disciple, and now the Martial Soul Hall Holy Son she had personally endorsed, how could she possibly kill him?
Now with Xu Ran's help, she was at ease.
Xu Ran's strength was unfathomably deep, even she couldn't see through it. If Xu Ran said he could help her, he definitely could.
"Once you become a goddess, you might look down on me. Alas, how sad," Xu Ran curled his lips, carefully scrutinizing Bi Bidong's exquisitely beautiful face, and her perfect mature figure continually raised wicked thoughts in his heart.
In the original story, Bi Bidong became the Rakshasa God, not only did she not become more beautiful, but she became incredibly ugly. Becoming the Asura God, Bi Bidong should become very pretty, and perhaps her figure could improve a bit more, then her figure would be more than a pair of hands could handle.
"Xu Ran, can't you have some restraint? You already have Xue'er. I don' want you to have other thoughts about me. It's not allowed," Bi Bidong said irritably, rolling her charming eyes and leaning forward, her ample chest resting on the armrest of the wheelchair, in a pose that commanded respect like a big sister.
"Enough talk, let's find a quiet corner to watch the competition. We can discuss future matters in the future. You're still not able to let go, but you'll be honest later on," Xu Ran simply smiled and said no more. After all, Bi Bidong, the foolish girl, couldn't understand what he was saying.
"Sigh," Bi Bidong indeed didn't know that Xu Ran was teasing her, sighed, and then pushed the wheelchair towards the viewing area ahead.
Bi Bidong and Xu Ran were both people with stunning appearances, and upon their arrival, they immediately drew countless gazes.
Especially as many people set their sights on Bi Bidong, assessing her voluptuous figure and drooling. To satisfy Xu Ran's preferences, like yesterday, Bi Bidong wore a pair of black tight-fitting silk stockings and a black mid-length skirt, revealing the curves of her body at every turn, exuding a charm that bewitched all living beings.
Even Xu Ran sometimes fell into it, let alone those who had not seen much of the world.
"Hey, that chick looks pretty good."
"Full-bodied curves and dressed so beautifully, such a stunning beauty actually ended up with a cripple in a wheelchair; it's simply a waste of resources."
"Such a beauty seems to be just an ordinary person with no Martial Soul fluctuations. To be able to capture such a beauty and confine her, my life would be without regrets," a crowd around them immediately burst into a heated discussion. Many looked at Bi Bidong with greed, wishing they could pounce on her and thoroughly enjoy the taste of such a rare beauty. Seeing Xu Ran in the wheelchair, they were even more disdainful.
Only the strong deserve beauties, and in their eyes, Xu Ran was the weak.
