Chapter 306: The Way of the World Toys with People

Looking at the silent Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong felt even more disappointed in her heart.

She did not believe Yu Xiaogang could not understand the subtext of her words; facing the heavily injured and unconscious Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang still did not speak.

For the sake of the person he loved, was he unwilling to even try? So, Yu Xiaogang was such a cowardly person?

Bibi Dong shook her head in disappointment and slowly turned to walk toward the main gate; she did not walk fast.

One step, two steps; Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, watching silently as Bibi Dong left.

On the third step, Bibi Dong suddenly stopped, then turned around.

"I wonder what other instructions the Pope has?" Yu Xiaogang felt a tightness in his heart, his tone still flat.

"The person standing before you now is not some Pope of the Spirit Hall, but a woman whose name is Bibi Dong." Bibi Dong looked straight at Yu Xiaogang, glanced at Liu Erlong once more, and suddenly waved her hand; a purple light instantly flew out, shooting straight at Yu Xiaogang's lower abdomen.

"Ugh!" With a muffled groan, Yu Xiaogang's body uncontrollably knelt down again, his hands clutching his lower abdomen, his face deathly pale.

He could feel that the soul power he had just raised within his body had vanished; he had been crippled again.

"You!" Yu Xiaogang looked up, his eyes full of resentment.

"Bibi Dong, you have such a cruel heart."

"Don't you know that women are fickle?" Bibi Dong's gaze was cold. "I walked three steps and gave you three chances—three chances for you to speak up for your lover and your unborn children."

"But for the sake of your own face and dignity, you gave them up, and you also let me see you for who you truly are."

"Do you think that, as a woman, I would let go of an irresponsible man like you?"

Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red, and he instinctively lowered his head.

Bibi Dong gave a miserable laugh. "In the end, it is the way of the world to toy with people. You and I were never meant to be on the same path; perhaps this is the price of naivety."

After saying this, Bibi Dong walked out of the room without looking back. The warm sunlight spilled onto her, the confusion in her eyes slowly dissipating. Facing the sun, she stepped away, as if it were a new beginning.

Several days later.

Wuhun City.

Palace guards appeared outside the hotel where Shi Quan was staying.

"Master Shi, His Holiness the Pope invites you to a meeting."

"Lead the way." Shi Quan walked out of the room.

Before long, Shi Quan arrived at the Pope Palace.

Clang—the tall palace doors closed, leaving only the two of them.

"That man imprisoned me back then and forcibly possessed me. I became pregnant, and afterwards, he made me cut ties with Yu Xiaogang. Later, to prevent me from harming the fetus, he monitored me day and night until I gave birth to Qian Renxue, and only then did I regain my freedom."

Bibi Dong's voice was flat, devoid of any emotion, as if she were speaking of something extremely simple.

Shi Quan did not offer any comfort, but instead said directly, "Let's go, to the Star Dou Great Forest."

The current Bibi Dong was undoubtedly sensitive, and it was clear she did not want to chatter more with him here.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly without speaking.

The hall doors opened, and the two set off immediately, flying rapidly toward the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After several days of travel, they arrived at the edge of the core area.

"Those three Ant Emperors are..."

As soon as Shi Quan arrived, Gu Yuena's voice had already drifted over from the direction of Life Lake.

At the same time, Shi Quan sent a mental message: "Gu Yuena, I intend to help these three Ant Emperors evolve into Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and have two of them become Bibi Dong's Soul Spirits. Can you have Di Tian come out to help intimidate them so I don't have to do it myself?"

"He is coming!"

Just as Gu Yuena's voice fell, the space in front of Shi Quan and Bibi Dong suddenly tore open a huge rift, and Di Tian's figure stepped out from within.

"Don't be nervous. This is the Beast King Di Tian. With him here in a moment, things will be simpler."

Bibi Dong looked at Di Tian with a wary expression; she had previously inquired about Di Tian from Qian Daoliu and knew some information about him.

"Let's go." Di Tian nodded toward Shi Quan and led Shi Quan and Bibi Dong in flight for another half an hour or so.

Arriving at the lakeside of the core area, three three-meter-long Ant Emperors appeared in their field of vision; the three brothers were currently drinking water leisurely by the lake.

Seeing Shi Quan stop, Bibi Dong frowned slightly, because the age of the three Ant Emperors before her was only around ninety thousand years; ninety thousand years and one hundred thousand years were worlds apart.

As the three landed, the three beasts immediately looked at the three of them in unison, especially when looking at Di Tian; for some reason, they instinctively feared the aura on Di Tian, giving them a sense of submission.

Shi Quan looked at the three Ant Emperors and spoke directly: "Do you want to become Divine Beasts and possess eternal life?"

The three Ant Emperors were stunned, looking at each other, then nodded repeatedly. Who wouldn't want eternal life?

"I will give you a chance. In a moment, I will condense the surrounding Life Essence to help you advance to Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Afterward, two of you must transform into Soul Spirits to become this lady's Soul Ring. She is the successor of a God Position and has a great possibility of inheriting it. Once you become her Soul Spirits, your souls will merge into her Sea of Consciousness. When she becomes a God, you will also ascend to become Divine Beasts."

"Even if you can't succeed in the short term, you will definitely be able to in the future."

Upon hearing this, the three beasts couldn't help but look at Bibi Dong; compared to the oppressive feeling of Di Tian, Bibi Dong gave them a feeling of discomfort.

"Of course, there is another choice." Shi Quan clenched his fist. "If you are unwilling, then we will have no choice but to take action!"

"Choose one of the two; see how you decide." After saying this, Shi Quan nodded toward Di Tian at his side.

Di Tian's dragon might poured out instantly, and he coldly spat out two words: "Submit!"

Feeling the dragon might on Di Tian, the three Ant Emperors also recognized Di Tian's identity; without the slightest hesitation, they prostrated themselves on the ground to show their submission.

The Beast King himself had come forward, and they couldn't beat him anyway; if they didn't submit, they would die, so what else could they do?

"You have made the right choice."

"Did you even give us a choice?" the three Ant Emperors muttered to themselves in their hearts!

Shi Quan smiled faintly and stepped forward, raising his hand; the Blue Silver Emperor Tree martial soul appeared in his palm.

The brilliant Seventh Soul Ring lit up, and a jade-gold radiance bloomed. As the Blue Silver Emperor Tree rapidly climbed, the blue-gold light rippled out from the center of the tree, spreading in all directions.

Wherever it passed, the plants were dyed gold. At the same time, a faint mental fluctuation rose and spread rapidly in all directions. Subsequently, the energy between heaven and earth trembled.

Bibi Dong only felt that the world before her eyes had become shrouded in countless blue lights; with her Mental Power, she could clearly feel the Life Essence from all directions gathering within this Domain, centered on Shi Quan.
