Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 196 Bibi Dong Sets Sail

The sun blazes high, the sky is clear and blue, and the vast expanse of blue waves stretches to the horizon.

A small boat is speeding straight ahead on the sea, completely unaffected by the sea breeze.

Amidst the vast and boundless landscape, the petite yet stunningly beautiful figure on the deck of the boat captured the full radiance of this magnificent scene.

This person was none other than Bibi Dong, who had set sail to find Su Cheng.

Bibi Dong has now officially assumed the position of Pope of the Spirit Hall for more than five years.

In these five years, her fame has spread far and wide.

A peak Douluo in his thirties, with a soul power level as high as level ninety-eight.

With Sky Douluo Qian Daoliu now hidden deep within the Elder Hall and Haotian Douluo Tang Chen missing for many years, there is no one left on the entire Douluo Continent who can rival her.

This invincible aura, which allows her to dominate the world without suppressing her strength, has created a mental outlook that is completely different from her reality at this moment.

That slightly petite figure gave people the illusion of being extremely tall, possessing both the noble majesty of a pope and the arrogant domineering nature of an invincible powerhouse.

Like the blazing sun in the sky, she radiates a dazzling light that is impossible to look directly at, and can even make people subconsciously overlook her unparalleled beauty.

However, Bibi Dong was also experiencing emotional turmoil at this time, far from being as calm as she appeared on the surface.

For the past five years, she has been looking forward to this day every single moment.

That is why, even though she had already reached the pinnacle of power and status several years ago, she never dared to relax for a moment.

While diligently cultivating the Innate Skill day and night, he also dispatched a large number of powerful figures from the Spirit Hall to search for the hiding places of 100,000-year-old soul beasts based on the clues left behind by Su Cheng.

This year, I finally completed the last spirit ring for my second spirit, raising its level to 98.

A powerful physical foundation, a second martial soul configured with a full 100,000-year history, coupled with an impeccable mental will and the absence of self-suppression caused by the Rakshasa Divine Trial.

Although her cultivation level is slightly lower now, she is confident that her strength is no less than that of Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall at level 99.

"Ming Cult..." Bibi Dong held a thin book in her hands behind her back, the contents of which were the Ming Cult's doctrines that had been widely circulated on the seas over the years.

Her eyes narrowed slightly on her fair and pretty face, revealing a thoughtful expression.

When they parted years ago, Su Cheng said that once she finished cultivating her second martial soul, she could find him by following the core members of the "Ming Cult" at sea.

With Bibi Dong's strength, this would not be difficult for her to do.

After arriving at the port city in the west of the Heaven Dou Empire, she also inquired about the situation of the "Ming Cult".

In those mainland port cities, there are many Soul Masters from the sea, most of whom are sea dwellers who trade with land Soul Masters to exchange goods.

Among them, there were naturally many members of the Ming Cult, making intelligence gathering easy.

"Cheng Xue, what exactly do you want to do?"

Reflecting on what she had seen and heard over the past few days, Bibi Dong couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Combining the information provided by those Sea Soul Masters, she easily knew that the founder of the Ming Cult, the "Divine Messenger" people talked about, was none other than Su Cheng himself.

Naturally, I was extremely surprised after confirming this.

The Ming Cult, in terms of its influence on the high seas and the strength gathered among its lower and middle ranks, is now even more powerful than the Spirit Hall.

It should be noted that Su Cheng was only eighteen years old when he left the sea, and then stayed on the mainland for more than ten years without ever returning to the sea.

What does this mean?

This means that Su Cheng started this organization at a very young age, and in less than twenty years, he expanded it to the point where it surpassed the Spirit Hall in every aspect except for high-end combat power.

But that's not the most crucial issue. The most crucial issue lies in the Ming Cult's doctrine.

Bibi Dong immediately saw the problem.

Others might not know, but she knew perfectly well that Su Cheng did not believe in the so-called sea god at all.

Several years ago, the other party even personally erased a wisp of divine thought left behind by the Sea God on the Douluo Continent.

The hidden meaning behind this sent chills down her spine.

Even with her current status and power, she would never dare to provoke the gods.

The weaker a person is, the more arrogant they become due to their ignorance.

Now that she's reached her current level, she can better appreciate how incredibly difficult each step forward is, and how exaggeratedly powerful the resulting increase in combat strength can be.

She also didn't believe that Su Cheng would be an arrogant person.

If that's the case, what was the other party's purpose in doing this?

Even as early as his childhood, he began to plan and lay out for this for decades.

"Never mind, I'll just ask him in person..."

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's face revealed a heartfelt joy.

Compared to the slight unease in my heart, excitement and anticipation had already filled my chest.

She still clearly remembers that when they parted ways, Su Cheng had personally promised her their future together.

Perhaps once this matter is resolved, their relationship can progress further.

This idea doesn't just stem from past promises.

Strength brings confidence, while power breeds ambition.

She was confident that the Spirit Hall would flourish even more under her leadership.

Moreover, upon learning of the real existence of deities, she believed that with their talents, they would surely achieve divine status in the future.

"Su Cheng, the Seven Sacred Pillars seem to be acting strangely lately." On the shore of a remote island nearly a thousand miles from Seagod Island, Lorelei gently slapped the sea with her fishtail and said in a deep voice.

"Something's not right?" Su Cheng asked calmly.

"I can't really explain it either." The mermaid girl shook her head with a worried expression. "As you know, we Sea Witches are different from other Holy Pillar Douluos; our connection with the Seven Holy Pillars is much closer."

She spoke slowly, as if carefully choosing her words, "I feel like the Holy Pillar is sick."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng glanced at the other person and asked, "Are you sick?"

"It's just a description, and it's hard for me to describe it either." Lorelei scratched her hair in slight frustration, her fishtail swinging faster. "I feel a kind of weakness, do you understand what I mean? But when I asked the other Pillar Douluos, they didn't feel anything, and the Pillars were functioning perfectly fine."

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll go take a look when I have time, or you can ask my teacher," Su Cheng said casually.

He then turned to look at the distant sea, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and took out a mask, putting it on. "You should go back now, I have guests."

"A guest?" Lorelei paused, then noticed his actions and asked curiously, "Why are you carrying this?"

"It's not convenient for that person to see what I look like. By the way, if you come to see me again in the future, just call me 'Divine Messenger,' don't call me by my name."

"Oh." Lorelei nodded.

At this moment, she also vaguely sensed an extremely powerful aura appearing in her perception.

Without asking any further questions, it turned around, flicked its tail, and quickly swam away from the island.

Not long after Lorelei left, Su Cheng saw a boat cutting through the waves, heading straight for the place where his aura was.

At first glance, it was just a small black dot, but after a dozen breaths, it had already reached a distance not far ahead.

The boat is not large; compared to a normal passenger ship, this yacht can only accommodate about a dozen people.

The next moment, the delicate figure on the deck leaped up and landed on the shore.

Bibi Dong reached out and the small boat she used for transportation transformed into a foot-long model, flew into her hand, and was stored in her storage soul tool.

This unassuming little boat is actually an extremely rare transportation soul tool.

However, the two people on the shore were clearly not concerned with these trivial details; they were simply looking at each other.

Looking at the person in front of her, Bibi Dong couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, her chest heaving violently, and for a moment she was speechless.

In contrast, Su Cheng appeared much calmer. He walked up to her, nodded with a smile in his eyes, and said softly, "Long time no see."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's emotions gradually calmed down, and her smile became even brighter.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Half a day later, Su Cheng and Bibi Dong walked slowly on an island where a large number of Ming Cult members had gathered.

Looking at the busy sea dwellers, Bibi Dong sighed softly, "People who live on the sea are really different from people on land."

Although she hasn't been here long, she can still see many differences with her discerning eye.

However, Su Cheng's style of doing things is quite different from that of ordinary sea dwellers.

"The Ming Cult you established..." As she spoke, Bibi Dong took out the book she had mentioned before, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"You noticed?" Su Cheng chuckled, not surprised by her reaction.

Bibi Dong isn't stupid; it's normal for her to have some guesses based on what happened before.

He never intended to hide it from the other party.

When it comes to the final battle, Bibi Dong's help will be needed.

"What do you think of my Ming Cult?" Su Cheng turned his head and looked at the residents on the island.

"Incredible," Bibi Dong exclaimed. "It's truly unimaginable how you did it!"

"What? How did you do that?"

"In such a short period of time, such a huge force has been gathered."

"It's all due to the circumstances," Su Cheng said slowly. "Ordinary people in this world have been suppressed for too long. The sea is not like the land; ordinary people have to endure more storms and disasters to survive. So, when I give them a chance, these people will naturally unleash unimaginable will and energy."

He turned to look at Bibi Dong, his gaze deep and thoughtful. "The gods are high above, unable to understand the suffering of ordinary people. All they need and desire is faith. They don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all. Since that's the case, I will change all of this and give them a chance to decide their own destiny."

“…” Bibi Dong stared blankly at Su Cheng.

At that moment, a hand was extended. "Your Holiness the Pope from the Spirit Hall of the Mainland, would you be willing to help me?"

Su Cheng did not mention the previous agreement, but only asked her if she was willing to help him.

"Your business is my business." Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's surprised and scattered gaze sharpened, and a smile bloomed on her face.

She placed her hand in Su Cheng's palm and held it tightly. "What do you need me to do?"

Su Cheng raised his other arm and pointed towards the distant Seagod Island, calmly saying, "Flatten Seagod Mountain and smash the Seagod Temple."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyes widened slightly, and a mild tingling sensation, like an electric current, shot from her tailbone all the way up to the top of her head.

My body was trembling involuntarily; I couldn't tell whether I felt excitement or fear.

"They destroyed the Temple of Poseidon?"

"That's right."

Su Cheng turned to look at Bibi Dong, "At that time, you only need to keep my teacher in check, and I will take care of the rest."

"Your teacher, the High Priest of Poseidon Island?"

Bibi Dong now also knows about Poseidon's existence.

They also knew that he was a peerless Douluo of level 99, on the same level as Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall.

Now that they are on the high seas, the enemy's fighting strength is likely to be much greater.

Despite this, she wasn't afraid; in fact, she was quite excited.

Since her debut, she has never fought against a top-tier expert of this level.

"But isn't she your teacher?" At this moment, Bibi Dong's face showed a hint of hesitation.

"Don't worry, you just need to fight with all your might." Su Cheng smiled. "My teacher is much stronger than you think. Just don't lose too quickly."

He was genuinely not worried about Poseidon's safety.

This Sea God Douluo is now far stronger than when he first became the High Priest.

Over the past five years, Su Cheng had witnessed all the changes in the other party. He didn't know Tang Chen's situation, but in terms of combat strength, Poseidon had definitely surpassed Qian Daoliu.

The change in her state of mind deepened her understanding, strengthened her will, and made her control over her power completely different from before.

"Aren't you afraid that doing this will make your teacher resent you?"

After hesitating for a moment, Bibi Dong finally asked the question that had been bothering her.

She could sense that Su Cheng had deep feelings for Poseidon, just like she had felt for Qian Xunji back then.

Unlike Qian Xunji, Poseidon had clearly never done anything to wrong Su Cheng.

Even when Su Cheng, as her disciple, refused the Sea God's test and chose to leave Sea God Island for the mainland, Poseidon did not stop him.

"..."

Su Cheng fell silent upon hearing this.

What he is about to do will not harm Poseidon in any way, and may even greatly benefit him.

But this is not an excuse.

He couldn't comfort himself with this and justify saying that everything he did was for Poseidon's good.

Not to mention that his motives were impure from the very beginning.

Even if everything she did was truly to free Poseidon from her fate and the sea god's control, it was still wrong.

Su Cheng has been talking about will and freedom all along, but what qualifications and rights does he have to decide other people's choices?

Poseidon is not a child.

She is an adult with her own convictions and beliefs, and her own goals and pursuits.

She dedicated the first half of her life to Poseidon Island, regarding her mission as the greatest honor, so how could she easily deny or discard it?

"I'm scared." After a long while, Su Cheng exhaled a long breath and said calmly, "But this is my choice. I'm a selfish person too..."

Although the look of inner turmoil in his eyes was fleeting, it was still accurately captured by Bibi Dong, who kept her eyes fixed on him.

A wave of tenderness washed over her, and she immediately regretted asking the question.

She couldn't help but grab Su Cheng's hand and said firmly, "You still have me. Whatever you want to do, I will be with you."

Su Cheng glanced at the hand she was holding, but didn't say anything more.

He shook his head inwardly, fearing that Bibi Dong's situation might not be much better than Poseidon's.

"Is it enough for me to just keep your teacher in check? Can you handle Poseidon Island all by yourself?" Bibi Dong didn't let go of his hand, her pretty face slightly flushed, but she pretended to be nonchalant and changed the subject.

"I've heard that there are many Title Douluos there, and that there's a powerful island-protecting formation."

She didn't know how strong Su Cheng was now, but she figured that even if he was stronger than her, he wouldn't be much stronger.

After all, only five years have passed, and the other party doesn't have a second martial soul like me, so they can quickly increase their strength by absorbing soul rings.

Once a Soul Master reaches the Title Douluo level, it becomes extremely difficult to level up through arduous training.

Besides the formations and powerful individuals, the Poseidon Mountain itself on Poseidon Island is probably no ordinary place either.

That place is a place for worshipping gods, just like Wuhun City. Who knows if there are other secrets hidden there?

Even if they don't have seven hidden elders like the Spirit Hall, they must have other methods.

"Don't worry, I grew up on Seagod Island and know the situation there very well," Su Cheng said calmly. "I know what I'm doing. As long as my teacher isn't here, no other Title Douluo can pose any threat to me."

He then turned to look at the Ming Cult members on the island, "Besides, I'm not alone."
