Su Mo calmly said, "No need for formalities."

The palace doors opened, and he led the four women inside.

The Papal Palace has a towering dome.

At the far end of the hall, Pope Qian Xunji sat upright on his papal throne, with two figures standing on his left and right sides below him: Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.

"Your Highness! You're finally back!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's slightly shrill voice rang out first, his tone full of surprise.

Although the ghost's expression remained stiff as always, his eyes suddenly lit up, clearly surprised.

Su Mo nodded slightly, took a few steps to the center of the main hall, and the four women behind him stopped half a step behind him.

Su Mo and Bibi Dong bowed simultaneously and said, "Disciple greets teacher."

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

Ah Yin and the other two women bowed slightly, their postures composed and graceful.

Poseidon showed no trace of arrogance befitting a deity, displaying instead humility and propriety.

Qian Xunji stood up from the throne, a genuine smile on his face: "No need for formalities, it's good to be back."

He slowly walked down the steps, his gaze first falling on Poseidon, and then giving him a brief once-over.

Although it was their first meeting, he already knew in his heart that this woman with an extraordinary temperament must be Poseidon, whom Su Mo had mentioned before.

At this moment, Su Mo pulled Poseidon to his side: "Teacher, let me introduce you. This is Poseidon, the High Priestess of Poseidon Island whom I mentioned to you before."

Poseidon smiled slightly and bowed to Qian Xunji again: "Poseidon greets His Holiness the Pope."

Qianxun said quickly, "Xiao Mo has already told me about your situation. From now on, you can treat this place as your own home and don't feel constrained. Also, since you have inherited the divine power, you don't need to bow to me in the future."

Poseidon shook his head and said earnestly, "Your Holiness, please don't say that. You are Su Mo's teacher, so you are my elder. We must respect the proper etiquette between people."

At this moment, Su Mo dropped another bombshell.

"Teacher, I forgot to tell you, she has actually reached level 100 and become a god."

The hall fell into a deathly silence.

Qian Xunji's expression froze on his face, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

The two people behind him, Kiku and Kiku, were even more horrified, their hearts filled with turmoil.

A level 100 god is the highest realm that countless soul masters on the continent cannot reach even after a lifetime of effort!

At this moment, Qian Xunji looked at Poseidon with complicated emotions, then at Su Mo, his heart churning.

He should have maintained awe in the face of the gods of the world, but he was not only the Pope but also Su Mo's teacher, so it was inconvenient for him to lower himself at this moment.

“Teacher, there’s no need to worry.” Su Mo chuckled. “Even though she has become a god, she is still your disciple’s wife. It is only natural that she would be respectful to you. You don’t need to feel pressured.”

Poseidon said, "That's right, Your Holiness the Pope, Su Mo is absolutely right."

Qian Xunji laughed with relief: "Alright, alright, I won't dwell on these things anymore."

At this moment, he felt extremely happy and gratified. Su Mo possessed unparalleled talent and was a future god, yet he remained humble and polite. His words just now had given him a lot of face and made him feel very honored.

Immediately, Qian Xunji's gaze turned to Bibi Dong, his eyes narrowed, and his face showed surprise: "Dong'er, your cultivation level... your teacher can't quite see through it?"

Bibi Dong smiled mischievously: "Teacher, guess what level I'm in now?"

Qian Xunji shook his head helplessly and laughed, "Teacher could never guess."

“This disciple is now a level 97 Title Douluo,” Bibi Dong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the hall fell into dead silence once again.

Qianxunji's pupils contracted slightly, and his face showed shock.

The two elders, Kiku and Kiku, who were standing behind him, both gasped in shock.

When Bibi Dong left the Spirit Hall, she was only a Soul Saint. In less than three years, she jumped more than twenty levels and directly entered the peak of the Title Douluo.

This speed of cultivation is simply beyond reason!

At this moment, Bibi Dong recounted her experience of undergoing the top-level seven trials on Seagod Island, the process of Su Mo helping her hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and the whole story of how her second martial soul was attached with three 100,000-year-old soul rings.

However, when it came to the crucial point, she subtly omitted the fact that Tang Chen had died.

Since Su Mo didn't say anything, she would never reveal anything.

After listening to Bibi Dong's explanation, Qian Xunji suddenly understood.

As a descendant of a god, he was no stranger to divine trials, but he never expected the rewards for the trials on Seagod Island to be so generous.

Chapter 186 Succession, Progress of the Plan

"Haha, good! Dong'er, you now possess the potential to become a god, and you will surely be favored by the gods in the future."

You and Xiao Mo are both exceptionally talented and have boundless potential; you are truly my pride!

Qian Xunji said with a face full of relief.

Now that both of them have achieved remarkable success, he, as their teacher, is naturally proud.

After laughing, Qian Xunji composed himself and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Xiao Mo, now that you're back, I have something to discuss with you."

Su Mo straightened his expression and replied, "Please speak, teacher."

“I am getting old and wish to pass the papacy to you,” Qian Xunji said solemnly.

He was busy with teaching affairs every day and had wanted to retire for a long time. If Su Mo hadn't been busy with the God Examination and traveling around, he would have passed the position to him long ago.

Upon hearing this, Kiku and Kiku exchanged a glance, their eyes simultaneously lighting up.

The reason they followed Qian Xunji all this time was not only out of loyalty, but also to repay Su Mo's kindness in saving them.

After waiting for so many years, they have finally reached this day.

However, Su Mo shook his head: "This disciple is still far from passing the divine test, and it is really difficult for me to be distracted by managing the Spirit Hall."

Besides, you're still young, so how can you say you're old?

However, if you really want to pass on your position, then pass it on to your senior sister.

Senior Sister is now a level 97 Title Douluo; her strength is enough to convince everyone.

Although the position of Pope is equivalent to that of a monarch and is the pinnacle of power, Su Mo had been Qian Xunji's disciple for more than ten years and had personally witnessed the Pope's daily life, having to get up every morning to handle religious affairs.

Just thinking about it gives him a headache.

Moreover, he is about to enter the realm of gods and has no attachment to mortal power whatsoever.

"What?" Bibi Dong was taken aback, then waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't do it, Su Mo, you do it."

"Believe in yourself, you can do it."

Even though Bibi Dong still needs to hone her skills, Su Mo believes that she will definitely be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Bibi Dong opened her mouth as if to say something, but Qian Xunji said, "Since Xiao Mo has said so, then it's settled. Dong'er, you will take over the position of teacher in a month."

Bibi Dong looked at Su Mo, then at Qian Xunji, and finally sighed softly, "Disciple obeys."

Meanwhile, the two, Kiku and Kiku, who were in the distance, felt a pang of disappointment when they saw Su Mo voluntarily refuse the position of Pope.

But then they thought again that Her Highness the Holy Maiden was Su Mo's woman, and assisting her was no different from assisting Su Mo. So their expressions calmed down again.

"By the way, teacher," Su Mo said seriously, "how is the Spirit Hall's plan to unify the continent progressing?"

Qian Xunji slowly opened his mouth and said, "The Spirit Hall is strong in the power of its spirit masters, but in terms of military strength, it is far inferior to the two great empires."

To unify the continent, the possibility of a joint effort between the Heavenly Dou and Star Luo factions must be considered. Therefore, I have secretly made several arrangements over the years.

"First, with Wuhun City as the center, I have secretly sent people to subdue several surrounding kingdoms, integrating their military forces and bringing them under the command of Wuhun Hall."

However, this alone is far from enough. In the past two years, the Spirit Hall has also been recruiting large numbers of ordinary people into its army, forming a completely new force that is still training in secret.

"Secondly, the lower four of the seven major sects have secretly pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall."

As for the scattered forces within the two great empires, they remain unwilling to submit.

His expression suddenly became more serious: "In addition, according to reports from the spies planted in the three upper sects..."

The Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have now formally allied with the Heaven Dou Empire, and many other small and medium-sized forces have also joined their ranks. Their combined power is now considerable.

"That is why the Spirit Hall has always kept a low profile over the years, making thorough preparations and waiting for the right time to take action, so as to avoid bloodshed to the greatest extent possible."

After listening quietly, Su Mo calmly said, "The three upper sects may seem powerful, but they are not to be feared."

They do have a large number of Soul Masters, but their high-end and top-tier combat power is far inferior to that of my Spirit Hall.

Moreover… Tang Chen of the Haotian Sect has already perished.

"What? Tang Chen is dead?" Qian Xunji's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in shock.

The disappearance of Tang Chen was completely covered up by the Haotian Sect, and no one knows about it to this day. Everyone thinks that he is just living in seclusion.

"Yes, he came to cause trouble for my disciple personally because of Tang Hao, so I killed him."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji was overjoyed: "Excellent! Excellent! Heaven is truly helping the Spirit Hall!"

Bibi Dong stood aside, listening to the two of them discussing a plan that could shake the entire continent, her heart churning with emotion.

She had only been away from the Spirit Hall for a few short years, but upon her return, she discovered that a plan that would affect the fate of everyone on the continent had already been laid out.

A month later, she will ascend to the papacy and assume this important responsibility.

"Teacher..." Bibi Dong sighed softly, "Is it too late for me to regret it now?"

Su Mo said gently, "Senior sister, what are you afraid of? I'm here behind you."

Qianxun said quickly, "Yes, Dong'er, if the two of you work together, you will surely be able to bring the Spirit Hall to a new level."

Moreover, with Elders Kiku and Kiku assisting you, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

"Alright then, you'll stay by my side for the next month, and I'll explain all the details of the plan, as well as the interests of all parties involved, to you in detail."

"We will certainly do our utmost to assist Her Highness the Holy Maiden!" Kiku and Kiku immediately pledged their loyalty.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, suppressing the myriad thoughts in her mind, and nodded heavily, saying, "Yes, teacher."

Then, she looked at Kiku and Kiku and said, "Thank you, elders."

Seeing this, Qian Xunji's face lit up with a smile again, and he looked around at everyone and said:
