Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 72: The Fusion of the Rakshasa Godhood with the Demiplane of the Dead, Bibi Dong's Contact with the Dimensional Consciousness

Shu Yan remained silent for a while, as if digesting everything Bibi Dong had said, before he said softly:

"Elder Yi doesn't know why the Rakshasa God would choose to merge with the origin of the undead demiplane, but he can assure you that this was not our intention."

Bibi Dong just smiled and didn't seem to care much.

"That's not important anymore. People always have to look forward. Maybe I was partly responsible for intervening today?"

Shu Yan looked at Bibi Dong with a complicated expression. He could see that this once infamous Rakshasa God had really changed a lot.

As the years passed, every day and night she faced her past failures and humiliations. All her loyal subordinates lay buried near her, including even her daughter, which was a torment for her.

Perhaps there's a saying that's quite true: the Rakshasa God of the past has vanished, and now only Bibi Dong remains in the world...

There was a long silence between them before Bibi Dong spoke again:

"The fusion of the Rakshasa Godhood with the origin of this plane will take a considerable amount of time. During this period, if you need assistance, you may call upon me."

"But I must inform you in advance that before the Rakshasa Godhood Origin and the Plane Origin are completely merged, my strength has been greatly weakened. At most, I can only match a slightly weaker level 99 Limit Douluo. Facing an opponent who is too powerful, I cannot help you much for the time being."

"Furthermore, as the origin of the Rakshasa godhood gradually merges with the origin of the plane, this world of the dead is likely to undergo some changes as a result."

"For example, skeletons that have no attributes will be tainted by the evil power of Rakshasa due to the changes in the plane, thus gaining evil attributes and their combat power will naturally increase exponentially. In this process, I will control the origin of the Rakshasa God position to prioritize the power towards those undead creatures whose strength has already reached the level of Title Douluo or above, so that they can complete their evolution as quickly as possible and have even stronger combat power."

Shu Yan nodded, no longer dwelling on it, and said softly:

"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior."

Bibi Dong hummed in agreement, then suddenly remembered something and said softly:

"Give me a basic overview of the situation outside. To be honest, for the past ten thousand years, I've focused more on my own problems and haven't known much about the changes on the outside world."

Shu Yan nodded again, closed his eyes and fiddled with something for a while. Then, a ball of light emitting a faint white glow flew out from Shu Yan's forehead and flew towards Bibi Dong's spiritual sea.

"Senior, just open your mind and sense this information. This is most of the information I know. It covers a wide range of aspects and involves many things. Senior can take your time to read it later."

Bibi Dong glanced through it briefly, then sighed and said:

"The changes on the continent are so great, and Shrek Academy has become so powerful. However, we are fortunate that many of the strong members of my Spirit Hall lineage have survived."

Shu Yan thought for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Senior, haven't you considered resurrecting the Spirit Hall's retainers and elders from back then?"

Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at Shu Yan again, but then she still managed to explain:

"When I awoke and gained the ability to resurrect them, their souls had already been forced into reincarnation. The only ones I can resurrect now are Kiku and Kii, because their souls have been in my hands ever since they died for the first time. But it has probably been at least seven hundred years since I last resurrected them."

Shu Yan scratched his head awkwardly and didn't say anything more.

Bibi Dong gazed at the astonishing scale of undead creatures on the distant land, her thoughts drifting away. Suddenly, after a short while, she spoke again:

"After you leave the Land of the Dead, bring Xue'er's coffin in as well. As for her angelic divine armor and the divine artifact Angelic Holy Sword, you cannot take them with you for the time being, so let them continue to slumber here. If Xue'er awakens in the future, all of these can be returned to their rightful owners. If Xue'er never awakens, you can choose another master for her..."

Shu Yan readily agreed and did not refuse.

The pain in his body had subsided considerably. Shu Yan stretched his limbs and stood on the slightly trembling ground of the underworld. Before he could even catch his breath, he suddenly remembered a sentence Bibi Dong had said earlier.

"Senior, could you elaborate on what you said earlier about the different planes?"

Shu Yan's expression gradually turned serious, and his tone became quite earnest.

Bibi Dong glanced back at Shu Yan, and after a long while, slowly said:

"So you still remember the key point I made. I thought your reaction time would be laughable..."

Shu Yan did not speak.

There were just too many things to do today, and coupled with his current poor condition and extremely chaotic thoughts, he had temporarily overlooked such an important point. After realizing it, Shu Yan almost slapped himself twice...

Bibi Dong didn't continue with the cryptic remarks. She summarized the meaning and then spoke softly:

"I always felt that you knew a lot of things, so I won't go into too much detail, I'll just say the key points."

"About four thousand years ago, due to the dramatic changes that occurred on the continent, my consciousness had a brief exchange with the consciousness of the plane in a strange way. It told me many things, such as that the plane was being eroded by outsiders."

"Those two were none other than Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo from ten thousand years ago, and A Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor from one hundred thousand years ago. After Tang San became a god, they also reached the god level due to their status. However, they did not follow Tang San into the God Realm. Instead, with Tang San's help, they hid in the Douluo Plane. In the years that followed, they secretly began to erode the consciousness of the Douluo Plane."

"Perhaps because Tang San couldn't openly help those two in this matter, their erosion wasn't too fast. But dripping water wears away a stone. With a God-King like Tang San, who holds two God-level positions, sitting in the God Realm, even if the speed is slow, given enough time, the plane's consciousness will eventually be eroded. At that time, Tang Hao will become the true plane's master, and Ah Yin will become something like the plane's core. By then, even if the gods of the God Realm realize it or regret it, it will be too late."

"Their actions have aroused strong dissatisfaction throughout the Douluo Continent. The will of the plane is willing to resist, but it is also powerless to resist the erosion from those two..."

"But in the end, it told me that the Golden Age would begin again four thousand years later, and at that time, we would still have one more chance to struggle. I've put together its meaning, and it's roughly what I'll say below..."

Bibi Dong suddenly smiled, looked at Shu Yan, and then said, word by word:

"These two words are..."

"Twin destinies, a battle of fate..."
