Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 69 Rakshasa and Angels, the Past, and the Opportunity to Leave?

Shu Yan thought about it for a moment, and finally told the truth:

"No, not at all. My relationship with the old master is rather special. If you want to be serious, it's a kind of succession."

Bibi Dong became slightly interested and said with a light laugh:

"Tell me about it?"

Shu Yan held Xu Jiu's hand for a long time, then said:

"Later, for various reasons, Elder Qian joined the Star Luo Royal Hall of Worship and became the hidden Grand Elder of Star Luo. His current cultivation level is level ninety-eight, but his lifespan is about to end. That's when he told me about the existence of the Jialing Pass ruins."

"However, senior, please don't misunderstand. The current Star Luo Empire is no longer ruled by the White Tiger Dai family, but by the Star Crown Xu family as the royal successor. Jiu Jiu is my lover and also the Star Luo Princess."

Bibi Dong's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, and she said with a half-smile:

"Are you childhood sweethearts?"

Shu Yan was somewhat surprised, but still nodded.

"I guess so. I'm an orphan. I grew up in a welfare institution in Xingluo City. After awakening my martial soul at the age of six, I followed Jiu Jiu."

Upon hearing Shu Yan's affirmative answer, a hint of emotion appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes, and she said somewhat absentmindedly:

"Is that so...? That's good. If he were as gifted as you, wouldn't things be different...?"

Shu Yan: "?"

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's answer, Shu Yan's first reaction was bewilderment, followed by shock and astonishment.

It seems that saying Bibi Dong was a master of romance was really true. She even had Yu Xiaogang killed along with his own disciple, and now she's reminiscing about the past… Tsk tsk, honestly, Shu Yan is really hard to judge…

Seemingly sensing what Shu Yan was thinking, Bibi Dong's expression twisted slightly, but then returned to normal, though her tone became somewhat stiff.

"I have no feelings for him anymore. Even if I do, it would only be hatred."

"Whether it's Yu Xiaogang or Tang San's group, if I could, I would like to let them experience the pain and pride I have gone through. It's a pity that even after recovering for ten thousand years, I still cannot form a body, nor can I repair the broken Rakshasa Divine Armor. Even my range of movement is confined to this small Jialing Pass..."

Looking at the rapidly changing emotions on Bibi Dong's face, Shu Yan was at a loss for words. After a long while, he carefully chose his words and said:

"Senior, if you may, could you tell me about what happened ten thousand years ago?"

Bibi Dong glanced at Shu Yan, then said with a smile:

"What do you want to know?"

Shu Yan paused, then tentatively asked:

"For example... what happened between you and the angel god afterwards?"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong looked at Shu Yan with a hint of amusement, but that seemingly smiling gaze sent a chill down Shu Yan's spine. Just as he was about to speak again, Bibi Dong spoke up once more:

"If we remove the slander against my Spirit Hall and the praise for Tang San, the so-called Sea God, from the history books, they are actually not much different from reality."

"To save Xue'er's life, I gave everything to block the final blow of Tang San's Asura Demon Sword, and my own life came to an end. Although Xue'er survived, her divine position was shattered, and she will never be able to enter the Title Douluo realm again in her lifetime."

At this point, Bibi Dong gave a self-deprecating chuckle, then continued:

"But gods don't die so easily. The Rakshasa godhood I possessed was not shattered. Because of its existence, my divine consciousness was preserved. The Rakshasa godhood was originally formed from the evil thoughts of the world. As long as there are evil thoughts in the world, the Rakshasa god will not perish, and my own divine consciousness will not dissipate. It's just that I lost my divine body and most of the divine artifacts. My recovery speed can be described as desperately slow."

"Even though ten thousand years have passed outside, it has only made my divine consciousness completely stable."

"As for Xue'er..."

"To tell you the truth, Xue'er had already passed away when I awoke, and her remains were buried beside me by the surviving members of the Angel Legion. But after these years of recovery, I sensed a trace of her divine will within the angelic armor and holy sword she left behind. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, perhaps she too may awaken..."

Shu Yan sensed the sadness and regret in Bibi Dong's eyes. Her emotions seemed to have become somewhat numb. Ten thousand years of torment and pain had made Bibi Dong restrain her former pride and confidence as a goddess, and instead made her more peaceful. She also had a maternal glow like that of an ordinary mother. It can be said that this was completely different from the Bibi Dong in Shu Yan's memories of his previous life.

"Don't worry, senior. Back then, the Angel Goddess only had her lifespan so short because her divine position was shattered and her soul power dropped. However, her spiritual power has already transformed into divine consciousness. With the nurturing of the Angel Goddess Armor, she will surely awaken one day in the future..."

After thinking for a moment, Shu Yan still offered some words of comfort to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong raised her eyes and glared at Shu Yan, then said softly:

"Alright, let's not dwell on these old stories. That guy sent you here, it must be some kind of stroke of luck for you, Xinuo..."

Shu Yan scratched his head, but did not deny it.

Bibi Dong chuckled dismissively and said with a hint of disdain:

"He is truly greedy. Back then, I saw that he possessed the bloodline of a powerful member of my Spirit Hall lineage, so I used my Rakshasa power to help him defeat the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King. At the same time, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King's nearly 500,000 years of primordial power and even life energy all benefited him. More than a hundred years have passed, and he is still stuck at a mere level 98. It is truly shameful."

"this……"

Shu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still managed to offer a brief defense for Qian Gu Chaosheng.

"The Demon-Slaying Dragon Soul clashed with the evil attribute in the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King's primordial soul power, causing damage to Elder Qian's essence. In addition, the effective treatment came too late, which is why Elder Qian was forced to stop at level ninety-eight..."

Bibi Dong sneered, but didn't say anything more. Her gaze returned to Shu Yan, and then she glanced at the Ice and Snow Emperors beside Shu Yan. An unknown meaning appeared in her beautiful purple eyes.

"A soul beast? And not just any ordinary powerful soul beast?"

"You two have somewhat similar auras, and your bloodlines are almost from the same source. What intrigues me even more is your relationship. How come the world outside has reached the point where humans can cooperate with soul beasts?"

Xue Di looked at Bibi Dong with some wariness. Gods are gods after all. No matter if humans or soul beasts don't become gods, they are still just ants in front of them. To be honest, facing the elegant and lazy Bibi Dong in front of her, she was not confident enough, and could even be said to be very weak.

Shu Yan tugged at Xue Di's wrist, signaling her to be quiet, and then continued to explain:

"Senior, you misunderstand. The Snow Empress and Ice Empress are willing to follow me because we share a common goal: to become gods. It is an ironclad rule of the God Realm that soul beasts cannot become gods. I think you should know this better than I do. In addition, the Sea God of this era has always been watching the Douluo Continent. Given his personality, he wants to become a god on the Douluo Continent..."

At this point, Bibi Dong suddenly raised her eyes, and then she said again with a half-smile:

"You know a lot. Should I tell you you're very smart?"

Shu Yan shook his head, but spoke again:

"Are you content to remain here forever at the desolate and tragic ruins of Jialing Pass?"

Bibi Dong propped her head up with one hand, only slightly frowning at Shu Yan's question.

"Do you think I want to stay here forever and witness the humiliations and failures of the past? But the truth is, my consciousness cannot leave the position of the Rakshasa God. In the past ten thousand years, even if I wanted to use the power of the Rakshasa God to resurrect my former subordinates, the final problem is still the same."

"Supported by the power of the Rakshasa God as their physical source, they can move around near Jialing Pass. But once this distance exceeds fifty miles, their bodies will collapse again, and their souls will return to Jialing Pass. Since when, this area has long since become a wasteland. The resentment of the dead accumulated over ten thousand years and the evil energy emanating from me have turned this place into an ominous place. Apart from those little guys who regularly come here to worship their ancestors, I haven't seen any other living people for a long time."

While listening to Bibi Dong's words, Shu Yan also spoke with Electrox, whose sleep in his spiritual sea had been "disturbed" once again. After a moment of silence, Shu Yan suddenly spoke:

"What if I told you I had a way to get you out of here?"

Bibi Dong was taken aback at first, then she narrowed her eyes slightly and said with amusement:

"These two beside you are far from enough..."

"Yeah?"

Shu Yan smiled and shook his head, then said softly:

"The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress are obviously out of the question, but I might have a strong person on my side who can help you."

"Elder Yi, please tell us..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Yan felt a familiar dizziness. When he came to his senses again, he was back in his spectator mode.

Sensing the sudden change in Shu Yan's aura and the faint, strange feeling emanating from him, Bibi Dong slowly sat up straight. Her sharp gaze fell on the "Shu Yan" before her, a bright look of shock appearing in her eyes. The next moment, a gray current swept down from above, and Electrolux's aged and majestic voice rang out:

"Otherworldly god, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Electrox..."

"Necromancer Saint, Undead Scourge Ilex..."

"I think I might be able to help you with the predicament you're facing..."

"The Necromancer Saint, possessing an extremely high level of divine consciousness..."

Bibi Dong murmured subconsciously, then, as if suddenly realizing something, she looked at Shu Yan, whose aura had drastically changed, and said in a deep voice:

"Are you from another dimension?"
