Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 71 The Cycle of Rakshasa, Bibi Dong's Decision

Xue Di frowned slightly, gently shook her head, and then said:

"I don't know either. From the moment I was sent out of that small space, I could no longer sense their presence. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be in the world of the dead right now."

Xu Jiujiu's worry was undisguised. Hyotei, standing beside her, sighed and then said with some confusion:

"Every time Shu Yan shows up, he pulls off something this big. My heart can hardly take it anymore. At first, I thought I was pretty strong, but now I feel like I'm the one at the bottom..."

Xue Di's expression was somewhat intriguing. She paused, then spoke again:

"Let's wait around here for a while. Once they've dealt with things over there, nothing should go wrong..."

Hyotei and Xu Jiujiu exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

……

Meanwhile, in the undead demiplane...

As Bibi Dong merged into the small space she had constructed based on the Rakshasa God's position, a bewitching purple light suddenly soared into the sky, the black and red earth cracked inch by inch, and countless undead creatures seemed to sense something and roared madly to the sky.

In the dark sky in the distance, several enormous bone dragons soared into the air, their sharp, piercing roars carrying far and wide through the empty world, with faint echoes even coming from afar.

Two figures descended from the sky, finally landing on a barren mountain.

Shu Yan coughed violently a few times, his meridians and bones feeling as if they were being torn apart, causing excruciating pain. Although Electrolux was using his own power, he had to use Shu Yan's body as a medium. Even though Shu Yan's physical strength was already extremely abnormal, it was still too much of a stretch for him to withstand such terrifying energy.

Fortunately, the Golden Essence of Life still existed deep within his spiritual sea. The vast and continuous life energy emanating from it was quickly absorbed by his body, and the pain in his body was relieved in a short time. After only a short while, Shu Yan's bones burst out with a series of cracking sounds. Under Bibi Dong's surprised gaze, Shu Yan coughed twice again, and then leaned against the rock wall beside him to barely stand up.

"It seems there are other unknown entities within your body. It's hard to imagine that injuries that would at least render an ordinary Soul Master incapacitated for several days could have healed by nearly 50% at such an astonishing speed in your case..."

Shu Yan sighed, leaning against the rock wall. Then, he straightened up with difficulty and said softly:

"It was all by chance, pure luck..."

Bibi Dong chuckled softly, her gaze sweeping towards the dimly lit world in the distance. The chilling energy emanating from the surrounding space had no effect on her; on the contrary, it made her feel refreshed. The long-lost sense of freedom lifted her spirits. She turned to look at Shu Yan and then said:

"Please convey my thanks to that old man. He is indeed a remarkable person, and this world suits my taste perfectly."

Shu Yan nodded. After exchanging a few quiet words with Electrolux in the Sea of ​​Spirit, he regained his senses and then said:

"Elder Yi said that, to show our sincerity, he also gave you the authority to freely enter and exit the undead demiplane and control undead creatures, with the same highest level of authority as me."

A hint of surprise flashed in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes. In that instant, she did indeed sense that her control over this world had increased significantly.

After shaking her head with a light laugh, Bibi Dong said softly:

"Not bad, but before the Rakshasa Godhood is completely integrated with this small world, even if I can leave this small world and return to Douluo Continent, my own strength will be greatly weakened, and I will even find it difficult to exert the strength of the Limit Douluo level."

Shu Yan was slightly taken aback. He looked at the shimmering purple light in the distant sky, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes, and said with some disbelief:

"Why...is this?"

Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at Shu Yan, then chuckled and said in a joking tone:

Do you think I want to?

"I don't know why, but ever since we entered this world, the Rakshasa God has been trying to break free from my control. The origin of this world is also pulling at the Rakshasa God. That old man behind you probably already guessed something. I've really lost out this time."

"this……"

Shu Yan was momentarily at a loss for words, but before he could speak, Bibi Dong chuckled softly and continued:

"However, this just happens to suit my wishes. You should stop coveting the Rakshasa Godhood. I can tell you very clearly that you are not suitable to inherit the Rakshasa Godhood, but there is still a godhood on the Douluo Continent that is more suitable for you than the Rakshasa Godhood."

"As for the reason why it is unsuitable, it is very simple. The succession of the Rakshasa God position requires a corresponding vessel. One is a powerful evil martial soul, such as the two spider king martial souls, the Death Spider King and the Soul Devouring Spider King, which I possess. The second is extreme negative emotions. The third is the last sentence I mentioned above."

"The reason I was chosen by the previous Rakshasa God was that my heart was filled with resentment at that time, and my martial soul was also special, which is why I was chosen by the previous Rakshasa God."

"During the later divine trials, I became increasingly paranoid and insane under the influence of the Rakshasa God's power. My emotions kept teetering on the edge of extremes, and I even had thoughts of destroying the entire continent."

"From this you can see how strange and difficult the Rakshasa God's test is. This is also why the Rakshasa Gods of all generations have been so twisted and insane. What kind of test cultivates what kind of god. You can think about it, if a first-level god is so twisted, wouldn't the test she casts next be even more twisted and painful than the one she underwent before?"

At this point, Bibi Dong gave a slightly melancholic smile, then continued:

"If I hadn't been blinded by the Rakshasa's trials, would everything have turned out completely differently?"

"I can no longer find the answers to any of this. The Rakshasa Divine Trial is a kind of inheritance, but it is more like a cycle of reincarnation. Every divine trial participant experiences something strikingly similar, but in the end, they all chose to fall..."

"Secondly, even without any deities causing trouble behind the scenes, the position of Rakshasa is formed from the combination of all evil thoughts in the world. From the moment one possesses the position of Rakshasa, the owner's mind and body will be constantly eroded, eventually becoming the most suitable person to bear the position of Rakshasa."

Bibi Dong let out a soft breath, turned around, raised her head, patted Shu Yan's shoulder, and then said, word by word:

"By the time I realized it, it was too late. Everything I cared about was destroyed by my own hands. From that moment on, I had the idea of ​​completely destroying the Rakshasa lineage. Now, your arrival has indeed given me an opportunity."

"Considering the overall situation, I am willing to place my bet on you. In addition, I will reveal another piece of information to you: the plane is being eroded. I once had a conversation with the consciousness of the plane, and it told me a terrible situation, which made me even more certain of my thoughts."

"Rather than letting the Rakshasa godhood benefit them in the future, I'd rather shatter this so-called cycle of reincarnation completely, allowing it to exist in the world in another form..."
