Chapter 197: Jerry Returns, Forces Bibi Dong Out of Seclusion

After Jerry checked his own body, he was immediately astonished.

His appearance could still be considered human, but his interior had completely changed.

His bones, flesh, blood, meridians, Sea of Consciousness, and dantian had all disappeared; Jerry's current state was more appropriately described as an energy entity.

Jerry experimented, changing his appearance to become the Great Elder, his master, or Poseidon; it was all just a matter of a single thought.

Moreover, with a mere shift of his mind, one Jerry became two, and two became four.

Suddenly there were four Jerrys, plus the previous one, making five in total.

"Hello, I am Jerry!"

"Hello, I am also Jerry!"

"What a coincidence, I am too!"

"This is so fun, everyone is!"

Several Jerrys began to chat, but Jerry's main body felt it was a bit noisy, so with a shift of his mind, all the clones merged back into the main body, and only then did it become quiet.

He suddenly thought of Dharma Heaven and Earth, tried it once, and directly transformed into a hundred-zhang giant.

It really worked.

Jerry felt that he had now exceeded the limitations of humanity; as long as he still had energy, Jerry could exist indefinitely.

He looked around at the universe, then headed toward the moon of the Douluo Continent.

Arriving on the moon, Jerry took a courtyard out from his ring, found a flat spot, and set the courtyard up there.

However, just as Jerry finished setting up the courtyard, all the Soul Guidance Devices inside that started up on their own were rendered useless.

These Soul Guidance Devices could not absorb the soul power in space, which made things a bit difficult; did he have to bring energy up from the continent every time?

He had to think of a way, and Jerry thought of the barriers between each layer of the atmosphere.

If he could research the principles of the barriers, then building a space station in the sky would also be possible.

And if he could improve the barriers of the Douluo Planet, allowing more and more soul power inside, would it not be easier for everyone to cultivate, and would the world not be easier to advance?

Jerry split off a clone and told it to stay here and cultivate.

This was a safeguard Jerry added for himself; even if Jerry's main body were truly destroyed, he could then be reborn in the clone, at which point the clone would become the main body.

Subsequently, Jerry began to scan the entire Douluo Planet with his Divine Sense—oh, right, it could no longer be called Divine Sense; now, as long as Jerry thought about it, the scene of any place on the continent could appear in Jerry's mind, a matter of a single thought, so "Divine Thought" was more appropriate.

In the Exosphere, the soul power was too violent, and there was nothing in this layer.

In the Thermosphere, the soul power in this layer was also very violent and unstable, and nothing was discovered in this layer either.

In the Mesosphere, Jerry had originally intended to just take a look and pass through.

But here, Jerry discovered something different.

At a height of seventy-five thousand meters, Jerry discovered several hole-like things, and they were crazily devouring the soul power of this layer.

Nine-tenths of the soul power converted from the Thermosphere was devoured by these holes, and only one-tenth of the soul power was transferred downward.

What were these things? Parasites of the continent?

Jerry went directly to the holes, and the Devouring Power pulled at Jerry crazily, as if it wanted to devour Jerry as well.

However, this pulling force was nothing at all to the current Jerry.

His Divine Thought probed directly through the holes toward the inside.

Inside was actually another space, with dense soul power, about one thousand seven hundred times that of the Douluo Continent.

Jerry's Divine Thought swept across the entire space; Poseidon, Jerry saw a familiar figure, and because there was a statue of Poseidon on Sea God Island, he recognized it at a glance.

Then that meant the space behind this was the God Realm.

He had long known that the God Realm was a parasite of the Douluo Planet; so it had been hiding in the Mesosphere all along.

Poseidon had been cultivating on his throne, but suddenly opened his eyes: "Who is probing this god?"

Not good, Poseidon could sense it, so Jerry hurriedly withdrew his Divine Thought.

The God Realm, is it! Devouring the soul power of the Douluo Continent, is it! Let me let you taste my Annihilation Bomb.

Jerry took a look; there were nine holes in total, so he would give them nine to see the effect.

He directly activated nine of the largest Annihilation Bombs.

When the time came, Jerry threw them directly at the holes, letting the bombs explode right at the openings.

Nine streaks of black light flashed, and the nine holes disappeared.

The Annihilation Bombs directly annihilated the devices inside that had opened the holes.

Originally, Jerry had only wanted to blow up the Devouring Power of the holes, open them up, and then go to the God Realm to take a look himself.

Now, he had blown the holes away entirely.

How was he supposed to get over there now?

With the nine Annihilation Bombs, there was not the slightest sound; the people in the God Realm spent most of their time cultivating, and it was unknown when they would discover it and be able to open the holes again.

Following the disappearance of the nine holes, all the soul power surged toward the layer below.

This was just the beginning; for a period of time to come, the soul power of the Douluo Continent would experience a surge.

Subsequently, Jerry checked the Stratosphere again, and there were no problems.

Moreover, Jerry had observed the barrier of each layer, but he did not understand the principles behind them; it seemed that he would not be able to research anything in the short term.

He pinpointed the location of the Spirit Hall and disappeared instantly.

Just as he arrived in Wuhun City, under the coverage of Jerry's Divine Thought, he understood many things all at once.

So he had been gone for a year; he had felt absolutely nothing while cultivating.

Everyone was looking for him?

He used Teleportation to appear directly in front of his master.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo was in the courtyard, holding a wine pot and drinking, his eyes filled with loneliness.

"Master, I'm back!" Jerry said.

Chrysanthemum Douluo saw Jerry appear before him and said, "You're drunk and confused again!"

"Master, it's really me, I'm back!" Jerry said loudly.

Only then did Chrysanthemum Douluo come to his senses; he rubbed his eyes and looked again. Jerry was still there, and the wine bottle in his hand dropped straight to the ground.

"Disciple, you, you, you really are back!" After saying this, Chrysanthemum Douluo stepped forward and rubbed Jerry's head.

"It's true, it's true!" Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted happily, and as he shouted, tears fell directly down.

Seeing his master like this, he must have spent a lot of time looking for him this past year!

"Master, don't cry, didn't I come back? I was cultivating in a special place before and lost track of time. I definitely won't do this next time!"

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" Chrysanthemum Douluo originally had a pile of things to say to Jerry, but after seeing that Jerry had truly appeared, a thousand words were reduced to a single "it's good that you're back."

Afterwards, the high-level members of the Spirit Hall and Jerry's fellow disciples all rushed over one after another.

Only after Jerry told them about the situation did they leave one by one.

The next day, Spirit News published a piece of news regarding Jerry's return to the Spirit Hall; the common people of the entire continent knew Jerry was back and cheered and celebrated one after another.

"Jerry, don't leave for so long next time; you should know your current influence," Qian Daoliu said.

"Understood, Great Elder! But there is one thing I didn't tell everyone before; I will tell you about it privately!"

Next, Jerry told the Great Elder the news that he had discovered the opening where the God Realm was devouring the soul power of the Douluo Continent, that he had blown it up, and that the soul power of the entire continent would increase after a period of time.

"This is a good thing; I didn't expect the God Realm to be so excessive, directly devouring ninety percent of the Douluo Continent's soul power," Qian Daoliu said angrily.

"By the way, Great Elder, the continent is basically at peace now, but there is one thing that must be resolved!" Jerry said solemnly.

"What matter?"

"Bibi Dong, the remnant soul of the Rakshasa God!"

"How should it be resolved?"

"Resolve it head-on!"

"Then let's go!"

Jerry and Qian Daoliu called for Poseidon and arrived at the Pope Palace together.

The Pope Palace could be said to be lonely now, as the surrounding buildings had basically all been relocated into the sky.

Below was just a teleportation plaza, which had remained unmoved because of Bibi Dong's seclusion.

Arriving at the Pope Palace, Jerry's divine sense probed directly inside.

Behind the Pope Palace, he discovered an entrance to a Secret Realm; this must be the Inheritance Secret Realm of the Rakshasa God.

Jerry led the two of them and broke directly into the Secret Realm.

The entire Secret Realm was gloomy and dark; apart from black, there were no other colors.

The Secret Realm was not large, and soon they saw a black stone platform in the middle, with a statue of the Rakshasa God standing on it.

Bibi Dong was sitting cross-legged under the statue, her brows tightly locked, as if she were experiencing some painful matter; she should have been undergoing a God Trial within an Illusion.

With a single thought, Jerry directly severed Bibi Dong's Illusion.

Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes at this moment, looked at the three people in front of her, and flew into a rage; this was her place, yet Qian Daoliu had actually entered!

"Qian Daoliu, who let you in? This is my place!" Bibi Dong said angrily.

"Bibi Dong, we aren't here for you. Rakshasa God, come out, you parasite hiding beneath the Heavenly God!" Jerry said to the statue.

"Presumptuous!" Bibi Dong was furious and prepared to make a move.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Jerry glanced at Bibi Dong—a pitiful person—and then Bibi Dong was directly suppressed, unable to move at all.

"Bibi Dong, this doesn't concern you, just watch from the side! Rakshasa God, if you don't come out, I will directly destroy the statue you are residing in," Jerry said.

At this moment, a wisp of black smoke emerged directly from the statue, and slowly the black smoke turned into the shape of a woman; the woman's image slowly became clear, a woman with smoky makeup—this should be the remnant soul of the Rakshasa God!

"Little brat, I have observed you, mortal. Do you want to challenge a god?" A cold, aloof voice came.

"Hahaha, you're killing me, Rakshasa. You, a god beaten into a remnant soul by the Asura God, can only hide under the light of the Angel God, lingering on in a desperate state like a rat in the basement. What can you do? You're just fooling Bibi Dong," Jerry said with a loud laugh.

"Jerry, you are courting death!" the Rakshasa God's remnant soul said.

"I'm courting death? Go ahead and make your move! A mere remnant soul, let's see what methods you have. Relying on Bibi Dong? Look at her, can she even move now?" Jerry said mockingly.

After Jerry completely transformed, he knew that a remnant soul, apart from verbal temptation, had absolutely no strength if it did not possess a body.

The Rakshasa God was provoked by Jerry and flew directly toward Bibi Dong.

Just as she was about to possess her, a blue barrier rose directly in front of Bibi Dong.

The Rakshasa God's divine sense crashed directly into the blue barrier and was then bounced back.

"Soul Barrier!" the Rakshasa God said loudly.

"Rakshasa, I'm still here. Without my permission, how can you just possess someone else!" Jerry said with a smile.

"Jerry, what exactly do you want? We have no quarrel with each other!" the Rakshasa said, gritting her teeth.

"Do you think I don't know what you are guiding Bibi Dong to do? You are just an Evil God; not taking action against you would be a disservice to everyone in the world! Evil God, your doomsday has arrived. The Asura God couldn't kill you, but I can!" After Jerry finished speaking, he did not wait for the Rakshasa to answer and struck directly.

With a single thought, the Rakshasa God's remnant soul was directly compressed together, just as Jerry was preparing to crush the Rakshasa God's remnant soul.

The Crystal Ball inside Jerry's body instantly swallowed the Rakshasa God's remnant soul.

What was this situation?

After Jerry's entire body entered an Energy-like State, he had no Sea of Consciousness and thought the Crystal Ball had run away; with so much soul power in space, he estimated it would have long since vanished without a trace. It turned out it was still in his body.

And it didn't even need to come out; it directly swallowed the Rakshasa God's remnant soul.

This Crystal Ball is truly cunning!

The Rakshasa God's remnant soul was extinguished, and Jerry casually destroyed the statue as well.

The mark of the God Trial on Bibi Dong's forehead directly disappeared.

"Great Elder, I have destroyed the inheritance statue; this place will soon be annihilated. Let's leave!" Jerry said.

After Jerry left, the entire Secret Realm shook, and the exit disappeared.

Pope Palace

Jerry let go of Bibi Dong.

"Jerry, do you know what you have done?" Bibi Dong said through gritted teeth.

"I know, I destroyed an evil god!" Jerry said casually.

"You..."

"Pope, let me tell you about matters concerning gods." Jerry then told Bibi Dong everything about the gods, especially regarding the Rakshasa God.

"So you're saying the Angel God has long been dead?" Bibi Dong asked.

Jerry had not expected that this would be the first thing Bibi Dong cared about.

"Bibi Dong, what business is it of yours whether my Angel God is still around or not!" Qian Daoliu said angrily; he currently disliked hearing others say the Angel God was dead.

"Qian Daoliu, you are truly hypocritical. The Angel God is gone, yet you pray to a statue every day, wasting time. Hahaha, this is the happiest thing I have heard in so many years. The Angel God is dead, the Angel God is dead, your Qian family has no god, hahaha." After learning this news, Bibi Dong was practically bordering on madness.

"Bibi Dong, that is enough. Even if my Angel God has fallen, as long as I am here, the inheritance of the Angel God has not been broken!" Qian Daoliu said indignantly.

"The Angel God is dead!" Bibi Dong said.

"Bibi Dong, you have gone too far!"

"The Angel God is dead!"

"Stop arguing, both of you, isn't it annoying! Since the Pope has already come out of seclusion, you should manage the affairs of the Spirit Hall yourself!" Jerry said.

"No!" Qian Daoliu said.

"Why not? As the Pope, my right is to manage all affairs of the Spirit Hall!" Bibi Dong said firmly.

"Bibi Dong has been in seclusion for too long and is out of touch with society; wouldn't letting her manage it now just cause chaos?" Qian Daoliu said.

"Qian Daoliu, I have only been in seclusion for less than five years, how am I out of touch with society? Do you think I lack the ability? I was able to manage the Spirit Hall well back then, and I still can now!" Bibi Dong said confidently.

"Go out and take a look first!" Qian Daoliu could not be bothered to explain to Bibi Dong.

"Qian Daoliu, I think this Bibi Dong is quite good, she has a woman's spirit; what is wrong with her managing the Spirit Hall? Do you look down on women? I managed Sea God Island for so many years, do you think I am not capable either? Why don't we go out and spar!" Because she and Bibi Dong were both women in high positions, Poseidon felt a sense of mutual sympathy and spoke up for Bibi Dong.

"Xixi, I do not look down on women. Forget it, I won't get involved anymore!" After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, he left.

"Qian Daoliu, what are you running for? Stop right there." Poseidon chased after him.

Leaving behind the dumbfounded Bibi Dong and Jerry.
