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

Chapter 68 Another Continent

You watched as the Pope's expression shifted from conflicted to relieved in less than ten seconds.

She ultimately chose your sister. When you asked why, you were only met with her silence.

Your fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly as you watched helplessly as the Pope began to adjust your sister's condition, hoping she could bear the power of faith for longer.

Guided by her, your sister touched the statue, and various forces of faith appeared, reshaping its face and form until it took the likeness of your sister.

The power of faith transformed into a cocoon, enveloping your sister within. You stared in disbelief, and saw her radiant smile.

[A few months later, you are twenty-six years old. The once impregnable Poseidon Island fell to the three gods in less than half an hour.]

[It's said to be the combined power of three gods, but only your sister actually intervened. She faces the veil, her eyes as cold as ice; only when facing her followers does she reveal a gentle expression.]

After seeing her frown at you again, you realize she's no longer your sister.

"No, how did it turn out like this so quickly this time?"

Bibi Dong was dumbfounded. She had originally thought that Hu Liena had collapsed because she had persisted for so long last time when she saw her choices in the simulator.

But this time, Hu Liena only lasted a few months before becoming a deity with only divinity.

"Could it be because I became a god too early this time, preventing her from becoming the Pope and thus depriving her of the opportunity to temper her will?"

Bibi Dong felt that her thinking was probably correct. After all, in the last simulation of Hu Liena, because she had thrown all the burdens to Hu Liena, Hu Liena had been filled with hatred for her own powerlessness and a longing for power for many years. This was completely different from the Hu Liena in the current simulation who was full of fighting spirit.

Not to mention that because of her actions, the speed at which she accepted faith and became a god was also greatly accelerated.

"Oh, Nana, I'm so sorry, teacher."

Bibi Dong suddenly felt that she should let Xie Yue give it a try, after all, Xie Yue had grown so much this time compared to before.

Gradually, you hear people stop calling her the Holy Maiden and start calling her "Fox Goddess" or "Elder."

You went to the Pope again, asking if Hulena's condition could be resolved. She nodded and then told you...

[Simply removing the divine essence from her body will allow her to return to her original form, Hu Liena.]

[You had hope, after all, there was still a chance your sister could return. Afterwards, you devoted yourself wholeheartedly to finding Tang San and the remaining bloodlines of the Star Luo Empire's royal family hidden across the continent.]

After all, only by ending this crisis with the Spirit Hall can you see your sister as soon as possible.

You followed a search party, from the westernmost edge of the continent to its easternmost edge, from the desert to the deepest mountains, but found nothing.

At twenty-seven, when you returned to Wuhun City to report for duty, you learned from conversations with other teams that they, too, had achieved nothing.

At this moment, Xia Yu returned, bringing with him a Blue Silver Grass brimming with life force. He said this was Tang San's mother.

[You look completely confused, thinking that even if Xia Yu wanted to insult Tang San, he wouldn't need to say something like that.]

[His response was a glare. Just when you thought he was about to turn on you, a nine-colored light shone from his hand, and the Blue Silver Grass transformed into a tree comparable to a towering giant in a short time.] [The power of life caused Blue Silver Grass to sprout from the cracks in the stone bricks on the ground, and a gentle and beautiful woman emerged from among them.]

She didn't say much, but you could sense the fluctuations in her domain. With Xia Yu's blessing, countless blue light spots were released from her hands, and soon more flew back.

[You watched as her face gradually turned pale. From Xia Yu, you learned that she was sensing the Blue Silver Grass across the entire continent, but ultimately failed to obtain Tang San's position.]

Your initial excitement vanished instantly, replaced by confusion; you simply couldn't understand where Tang San could possibly be going.

"There's no news about Tang San among all the Blue Silver Grass plants across the entire continent?"

Bibi Dong's expression wasn't good either. Even the Blue Silver Grass, a plant that can be found everywhere, didn't have any information about Tang San.

"Could he possibly still be overseas?"

Xia Yu, believing Tang San might be overseas, immediately used his methods to seize control of the Blue Silver Grass spirit beast's territory. Then, a blue light pierced the sky.

Soon after, Xia Yu opened his eyes and said he had found Tang San's location.

That was a continent quite far from Douluo Continent. The Blue Silver Grass there told him that Tang San had already used his powerful martial arts to rule the entire continent and establish his own kingdom.

"So it really is overseas! No wonder, no wonder."

Bibi Dong slapped her thigh and said with a sudden realization.

"No wonder we couldn't find Tang San anywhere on the entire continent. It turns out he was taken to another continent to recuperate."

Bibi Dong marveled at the vastness of the world: "I never imagined that besides Douluo Continent, there was another continent in this world. If we incorporated the people there into the territory of the Spirit Empire, could we add another god to the Spirit Hall?"

[When you reported this to the Pope, she was clearly quite surprised. It was something she had never heard of before; you wouldn't have believed it if Xia Yu hadn't told you.]

Immediately, she ordered the establishment of a navy and the recruitment of artisans from across the land, aiming to spread the glory of the Spirit Hall to even more distant places.

[To your surprise, not long after, she wanted to appoint you as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, while she first wanted to go to that continent to investigate.]

Faced with this temptation, you resolutely refused.

"Why? Why would he refuse to become pope?"

Bibi Dong couldn't understand it. At that time, the Pope of the Spirit Hall was the supreme leader of the Spirit Empire. How could he refuse such an opportunity to control a continent?

You believe this opportunity should belong to your sister. If she hadn't accepted faith and become a god, it would be your sister standing here receiving this opportunity.

The Pope seemed to be in a hurry and didn't waste time talking to you. After hearing your request, he immediately appointed your sister as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and you were appointed as the acting Pope to handle her affairs.

Although it sounds strange, this is exactly what you wanted.

Soon after, you saw Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue travel together to that unknown continent.
