Just as she was about to defect, Bibi Dong obtained a simulator.

Chapter 17 Angel God

Back in Wuhun City, you grew increasingly angry, unable to accept that your twenty years of hard work had vanished into thin air.

[Think carefully about where things went wrong. Aside from Tang San's sudden appearance, you think your mother's orders were also a major reason for this failure.]

Thinking about the years of emotional abuse your mother has inflicted on you, you were filled with rage and immediately went to her residence to confront her.

Bibi Dong was stunned. So all of this was her fault?
She herself had only just learned about the hidden weapons Tang San possessed.

Who could have known that this damned hidden weapon could kill She Long in one fell swoop? Bibi Dong felt inexplicably wronged when her own daughter complained about her.

You arrive at the Pope's chambers, only to find your mother, her face filled with sorrow, tending to Hulena, who is still unconscious.

Seeing this side of her, this loving mother she'd never shown you before, made you even angrier—even though you're the one who's her daughter!

[You're filled with a mix of anger and sadness. She's clearly an irresponsible woman, and now she's pretending to be a good mother.]

You initially wanted to loudly question her about why she wanted you to speed up the plan, but seeing her dim eyes and tear tracks on her face, you couldn't help but soften.

[With this thought in mind, and remembering your twenty years of hard work, you immediately declared a complete break with her.]

You thought she would scold you as usual, but she agreed.

[You seized power from the Elders' Hall and the Douluo Hall, truly becoming a figure second only to the Spirit Hall.]

Bibi Dong watched as lines of text danced across the screen; these were the true thoughts her daughter held about her, thoughts she had ignored for so many years.

She roughly understood Qian Renxue's thoughts, but there were some things that she couldn't easily overcome on her own.

Just as Bibi Dong sighed and was about to continue watching, a cup of hot water appeared in front of her.

She was startled, assuming she was so engrossed in watching the simulator that she didn't even notice Xia Yu walking right in front of her.

"Your Holiness, there's no tea here. Would you mind having plain water?"

Xia Yu smiled broadly, and was equally pleased inside. He also caught a glimpse of the fear that flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

The final test of the Myriad Transformations Mask is now complete. His expectations for this martial soul have been raised infinitely high. With only seven soul rings, the hidden effects are so good that even Bibi Dong, who is at level ninety-nine, can hardly see through them.

After acquiring two more spirit rings to further enhance the concealment ability of the Myriad Transformations Mask, Xia Yu felt that he could directly find a 100,000-year-old spirit beast for the Cold Moon Sword's spirit rings.

Since transmigrating, after Xia Yu obtained the three soul rings needed for the Myriad Transformations Mask, his method of hunting soul beasts changed to openly walking up to the target, observing it from all sides, finding the soul beast's weakness, and then stabbing it to death with a sword.

"It's okay, plain water is fine too."

Bibi Dong also felt a little thirsty, nodded to Xia Yu, and took the cup.

After catching the cup, her thumb seemingly touched the water accidentally, but she was actually using the Death Spider Queen's keen sense of poison to detect whether it was toxic.

Xia Yu looked at her with a smile. If he knew what Bibi Dong was thinking, he would probably raise his hands and shout that he was wronged.

He's not tired of living, so why would he poison a mentally sound madman?

There's no benefit to it, it's too difficult, and if you give it to someone personally, are you waiting to be discovered and tortured to death?
"You get some rest, I'll get back to work."

Xia Yu looked at the broken armrest of the rocking chair with a pang of heartache, cursing Bibi Dong inwardly, before finding a place to slack off.

Bibi Dong put down her cup, feeling that she was not quite right again. She gently rubbed her face and continued watching the unfinished simulation.

Now that you have power, you no longer interfere in the affairs of the Spirit Hall. These days of rest and recuperation have allowed you to calm down a bit.

You believe that your own strength was insufficient, which allowed Tang San to succeed.

[What if Tang San had faced three Title Douluos back then? You've thought about this countless times, your thirst for power almost consuming your reason.]

At this moment, your grandfather, Qian Daoliu, noticed that something was wrong with you.

He asked if you were willing to formally begin the trials to become the Angel God.

[You are naturally willing, but you are so absorbed in the immense power you are about to acquire that you fail to notice the subtle sorrow in Qian Daoliu's eyes.]

After bathing and changing clothes, you kneel before the faceless angel statue in the Douluo Palace. One hundred and eight days later, the Nine Trials of the Angel officially begin, and you become the successor of the Angel God.

"Angel God."

Bibi Dong's Rakshasa divine power surged gently, which was the foundation of her confidence. However, the Nine Trials of the Rakshasa God were too long, and she still had no hope of completing them.

As she thought this, she saw the simulator text continue to flash. [You thought the test to become a god would be difficult, but what lies before you are all simple tests that you can complete with your grandfather, who is said to be invincible in the sky.]

In your first year, you turned thirty, but you didn't feel the weariness of ordinary people facing life because you believed you were destined to be a goddess's woman.

[In the second year, at the age of thirty-one, you and your grandfather, Qian Daoliu, annihilated a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast located in the territory of the Tianyun Duchy, completing the second test of the Angel God.]

You are quite pleased, after all, aside from the time spent traveling and searching, you completed the assessment in a very short time.

Your grandfather gently strokes your head; with him, you can always be an innocent and carefree little girl.

[In the third year, you turned thirty-two. Every year on your birthday, your grandfather would give you a gift. Even though you had seen countless treasures while disguised as Xue Qinghe, you still treasured these gifts in your soul tool.]

This year, you overcame the aftereffects of pretending to be Xue Qinghe, and you finally became yourself.

"Why does this old man look like he's about to die? Something's not right about him."

Bibi Dong seemed to be allergic to warmth, completely ignoring the interactions between Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu, her heart filled with malice towards Qian Daoliu.

However, as a level 99 peerless Douluo herself, Bibi Dong thought that the idea that Qian Daoliu was going to die was just a misconception.

After all, once one's cultivation reaches this level, and given that the other party is the guardian of the angel god, it's impossible for them to die so easily.

[In the fourth year, you reached the far north. After finding the ten-thousand-year-old mystic ice marrow required for the divine trial, your fifth trial was finally completed.]

Suddenly, you remembered Xia Yu, whom you had met years ago, and you rushed towards Dragon City with Qian Daoliu.

[Dragon City is almost unchanged from your memory, but when you enter the Spirit Hall branch, you can't find that handsome young man from back then.]

After much questioning, you learned that Xia Yu had left three years ago.

[You suddenly remembered that after you left, the beast tides in Dragon City occurred several more times, but you were busy with other things at the time and gradually forgot about it.]

After years of traveling, you decided to rest with Qian Daoliu in the far north.

After all, such scenery can only be seen in the far north and the southern part of the Star Luo Empire.

[To your surprise, there are many, many soul beasts in the far north, but not a single one over 100,000 years old has been seen.]

[You described to your grandfather the humanoid figure you had seen years ago, only then realizing that it was the true ruler of the far north, the Ice and Snow Maiden, a peerless ferocious beast at least six hundred thousand years old.]

"With your speed, you've practically traversed the entire far north, yet you still haven't found the ferocious beast, the Ice and Snow Maiden."

Qian Daoliu was also very curious. The few soul beasts he knew that were over 100,000 years old seemed to have vanished into thin air, and in the far north, only soul beasts with an age of 10,000 years remained.

In your fifth year, you completed your seventh exam.

In the sixth year, after you completed the eighth exam, you suddenly noticed that your grandfather seemed to have let go of his resentment; deep longing was clearly etched on his face.

That year, you turned thirty-five. When you returned to Wuhun City, the Heaven Dou Empire had just decisively defeated the Wuhun Hall at Jialing Pass.

Before the towering statue of the angel god, your grandfather sacrificed himself to pave the final path to godhood for you.

[Now you understand why he's been by your side all these years: he's trying to make up for the love you lacked since you were nine, when you were out in the world.]

Tears streamed down your face as you even tried to break through the protective barrier formed by the angel's divine power; you couldn't bear to see your only family member who loved you most perish.

But Qian Daoliu stopped you, his face still bearing that kind smile, just as you'd always seen him since you were a child.

He explained part of the truth about what happened back then, hoping to solidify your mind during the final divine test, so that you would harbor strong convictions such as hatred for Bibi Dong.

On the golden road to heaven, you stride toward the dim throne of the angels amidst the endless starry sky.

Your respect for Qian Daoliu, your hatred for Bibi Dong, and your resentment towards Tang San have given you a heart that will not be swayed.

[You climbed the final steps, one by one, until you finally sat on that towering throne.]

You have become an angel.

[Simulation ended. Reason for termination: Insufficient affection level.]
