"Your Holiness, we recently received some important information: the Clear Sky Douluo is hiding near Saint Soul Village in the Heaven Dou Empire. He has a son named Tang San, who inherited top-tier twin martial souls — the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer. Both are supreme-level martial souls, and he's a naturally full-spirit-power child. If he is allowed to grow freely, he will become a grave threat to our Spirit Hall," said Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"He's a twin martial soul wielder? How did you come by this information?" Bibi Dong asked, narrowing her eyes.
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked troubled, while Ghost Douluo kept silent. The truth — reincarnation — was simply too unbelievable.
"Speak," Bibi Dong commanded sharply.
Chrysanthemum Douluo flinched and immediately answered, "Your Holiness, you may find this hard to believe — but I died in the future… and somehow returned to the present. In that future, one man rose as the greatest threat to Spirit Hall's rise — Tang San. He had twin martial souls, just like you, and was chosen by the Sea God himself. He led the Three Upper Sects and the two empires to wage war against us."
"Reincarnation may sound far-fetched, but verifying the information is simple. Just go to Saint Soul Village and see for yourself."
Chrysanthemum Douluo watched Bibi Dong hopefully. His hatred for Tang San and his desire to gain favor through this future knowledge compelled him to share everything.
Bibi Dong smiled faintly and said, "Yue Guan, you're quite honest. In fact, I already knew all of this."
"You… Your Holiness, you mean—" Yue Guan was shocked.
"That's right. I, too, have returned from the future," Bibi Dong confirmed.
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo both silently breathed sighs of relief. If they had tried to hide the truth or even attempted to switch sides to curry favor with Tang San, this ruthless woman would have likely had them killed without hesitation.
But their judgment of Bibi Dong was wrong.
They had always assumed Bibi Dong was a madwoman, a paranoid tyrant, a manipulative schemer. But now, the Bibi Dong before them was calm — eerily so.
So what kind of person was Bibi Dong?
She was obsessive. And obsession often leads people to chase their beliefs to the very end, regardless of consequence. She once loved Yu Xiaogang so deeply she was willing to elope with him. After being violated by her master, she bottled up that hatred and bided her time until she finally killed Qian Xunji.
She clung to flawed beliefs and eventually dragged herself to ruin.
Her feelings toward Qian Renxue were tangled and tormented. Only in death did she truly acknowledge her daughter.
Her hatred for Qian Xunji extended to Spirit Hall and even the Qian family. In her past life, Bibi Dong wanted to drag the entire world down with her — to destroy Spirit Hall and burn the soul master world to ashes.
Obsession makes people blind. But what happens when the obsessed finally hit rock bottom?
Some may awaken. Others never get the chance.
In her previous life, during the War of the Three Gods, Qian Renxue gave everything to protect her — even burning her divine power to block Tang San's fatal blow. In that moment, Bibi Dong realized she had been wrong to hate Qian Renxue… and to hate Spirit Hall, the very institution that raised her.
Hatred should have a clear target. Qian Xunji had already paid the price. Was it really right to blame her daughter and her home for all her pain?
In the past, she'd been consumed by vengeance, twisted by the Rakshasa God's influence. She believed Yu Xiaogang was her only redemption, but he turned his back on her. She wanted to destroy everything as revenge against an unfair world.
But when Qian Renxue shielded her with her life — she realized she wasn't alone.
Yes, she had dragged Spirit Hall into ruin alongside her. But in the end, she regretted it. That's why, with her dying breath, she pleaded with Tang San to spare Xue'er… and Hu Liena.
Xue'er. Liena. Spirit Hall...
Now, having seen the light again, Bibi Dong felt a strange inner calm. It was as if she'd truly let go of the past.
But the only thing she hadn't let go of — was her love for Yu Xiaogang.
Even in the original story, Bibi Dong loved Yu Xiaogang until the end.
How she wished this rebirth could have taken her back to the moment they first met and fell in love…
Bibi Dong said no more. Neither did Chrysanthemum nor Ghost Douluo. The grand hall fell into a strange, heavy silence.
Worship Hall
An old man, gazing at the angelic statue before him, slowly opened his eyes in confusion.
"This… is the Worship Hall? Didn't I sacrifice myself so Xue'er could become a god? How am I back here?"
The old man was none other than Qian Daoliu — Spirit Hall's High Priest.
He was baffled. After a while, Golden Crocodile Douluo approached and said, "High Priest."
"Tian'e?"
Golden Crocodile asked, "You've returned too? Could it be that we won the war?"
"'Too'? What do you mean?" Qian Daoliu asked.
With a bitter smile, Golden Crocodile replied, "The future of Spirit Hall was grim. Even I died in that war."
"Golden Crocodile… since you know, tell me everything that happened to Spirit Hall after I died," Qian Daoliu said calmly.
Golden Crocodile nodded. "The battle went badly. That Clear Sky brat eventually became a god — the Sea God, to be exact. He defeated Xue'er, and I died trying to save her."
"Sea God?" Qian Daoliu's expression finally shifted.
Ever since he learned of Tang Chen's legacy, Qian Daoliu had believed there were only two people in the Douluo Continent capable of becoming gods — Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong. He never imagined that brat from the Clear Sky Clan would defy the heavens and claim the Sea God's throne, becoming Spirit Hall's greatest threat.
"I died… yet now I live. It must mean Spirit Hall won the war after all. Even if the cost was high, it was worth it," Qian Daoliu said.
"Sh
all we go to the Pope's Palace and speak to Xue'er or Bibi Dong?" Golden Crocodile asked.
