The Spirit Hall urgently convened a meeting.
Ling Yuan had brought Ye Han early. As the two stepped into the Pope's Hall, they were immediately struck by the solemn and serious atmosphere. Aside from the two elders guarding Qian Renxue in Heaven Dou City, all the other elders, worshipers, and even the Pope had gathered here. It felt as if the entire weight of the Spirit Hall had condensed within this space.
Ye Han's entrance was like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present. They all turned to greet him with their eyes.
"Little Han, you're here."
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu even stood up with a smile, intending to offer his seat. However, Ling Yuan didn't dare let Ye Han commit such a breach of protocol. She quickly picked him up and sat him in her own elder's seat.
"Haha."
Qian Daoliu chuckled, silently praising Ling Yuan for her responsibility and understanding. The other elders and worshipers also nodded and praised Ling Yuan. Initially, they hadn't been entirely confident about entrusting Ye Han to Ling Yuan's care. But after observing her over this period, it seemed she was indeed the best choice.
In contrast, someone else seemed insignificant, almost as if they were dispensable!
"Silence!"
However, amidst this harmonious atmosphere, a stern shout rang out. Ye Han followed the voice and saw Bibi Dong sitting on the high platform, her legs crossed. She gripped her scepter tightly and slammed it on the ground, her beautiful face visibly dark. Clearly, she had guessed the thoughts of many present and felt her pride had been wounded.
Bibi Dong didn't spare anyone's feelings as she spoke with authority, "Since everyone is here, let's get straight to the point! The Spirit Hall has many affairs to attend to. Gathering everyone here so suddenly greatly disrupts our normal operations!"
When she learned that Qian Daoliu had called an emergency meeting, she had guessed that it was closely related to Ye Han's meeting with Qian Renxue. Therefore, she was eager to know what was going on and couldn't tolerate any delays!
Bibi Dong's arrogant words immediately displeased many of the worshipers. The Second Worshiper, Golden Crocodile, frowned and was about to stand up and confront her, as he had done before. But before he could act, Qian Daoliu signaled him to remain calm and then slowly stood up.
"Everyone, the reason I've called this emergency meeting is because of a matter that concerns the future of the Spirit Hall. Little Han's twin spirits are too extraordinary. I fear that once this becomes public knowledge, it will draw the attention of the two great empires. Therefore, I have decided to delay the appointment of the Holy Son for two years. We will make a decision after that. What do you all think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall erupted.
"What?!"
"Delay the appointment of the Holy Son?!"
"And for two years?!"
The worshipers and many of the elders began to discuss, expressing their confusion. In their view, Ye Han's twin semi-divine spirits wouldn't necessarily provoke a joint attack from the two empires. A few years ago, the previous Pope, who had a divine spirit, had passed away. Now, appointing a Holy Son with twin semi-divine spirits—what harm could that do?
"Hehe, a two-year delay?"
On the high platform, Bibi Dong secretly rejoiced. This was undoubtedly a great boon for her plan to extract the twin dragon veins. As long as Ye Han wasn't appointed Holy Son, killing him would be much easier. After all, if Ye Han became the Holy Son, he would be in the public eye, making it difficult to act against him!
Just as the debate was heating up, Qian Daoliu spoke again, this time with a tone of delight, "Twin semi-divine spirits might be something the two empires could tolerate. But what if they were upgraded to twin near-divine spirits?"
"Boom—"
These words struck like a thunderclap, shocking everyone present.
"Haha."
Qian Daoliu chuckled and, without waiting for their reactions, turned to Ye Han. Ye Han obediently nodded, jumped out of Ling Yuan's arms, and instantly released his twin spirits.
"Roar—!"
Accompanied by the roars of two dragons, the Holy Light Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon burst forth. The aura of his thirty-third-level soul power, along with the near-divine aura of his spirits, filled the hall.
"This… this… how is this possible?!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, including Bibi Dong on the high platform. Ling Yuan took this opportunity to explain that this was the result of Ye Han consuming a special immortal herb.
Hearing this, everyone finally understood and marveled at the miraculous effects of the herb. They also realized Qian Daoliu's concerns and nodded in agreement. Twin near-divine spirits were unprecedented in the history of the continent, and caution was indeed necessary!
"Gulp~!"
Bibi Dong also regained her composure, but instead of panicking, her eyes gleamed with madness, and her heart filled with joy. Had this little brat's twin spirits been upgraded? Wasn't this a gift from the heavens?
Whether it was accelerating her divine trials or solving Xiaogang's spirit defect, this was a tremendous boon!
"Alright, since no one has any objections, this meeting is adjourned."
Seeing that no one opposed the decision, Qian Daoliu declared the meeting over. Ling Yuan immediately stood up, picked up Ye Han, and prepared to leave. If there was nothing else, they needed to hurry back—after all, that mischievous bunny Xiao Wu was still at home. Although they had asked Nana and Yan Yan to keep an eye on her, a transformed spirit beast was inherently cunning, and they couldn't afford to be careless.
Just as Ling Yuan was about to leave with Ye Han, Bibi Dong, sitting on the high platform, suddenly remembered something and called out, "Wait!"
She was curious about how much this little brat could currently endure. How close was he to being able to withstand her secret technique to extract the dragon veins?
Ling Yuan stopped in confusion, and Ye Han also looked at Bibi Dong with vigilance. What was this damned lunatic planning now? Was she going to threaten him again?
The elders and worshipers who had just stood up to leave also turned their attention to Bibi Dong.
"Little Han, come here. Let me take a look at you."
Bibi Dong ignored the others' gazes and called to Ye Han with a sly smile. With so many elders present, Ye Han wasn't worried about her trying anything, so he walked over to her.
When he reached her, Bibi Dong smiled mischievously and said, "Come, sit here~"
With that, she suddenly picked up the small Ye Han and placed him on her lap. She then immediately injected her soul power, probing every inch of his body.
The sudden move caused Ye Han to lose all strength, collapsing weakly into her arms. His head also buried itself into her chest, shocking everyone present.
However, they quickly realized that Bibi Dong was probing Ye Han's internal endurance.
"Mmm… so comfortable~"
"Wait… this… how is this possible?!"
After probing, Bibi Dong was utterly astonished. She discovered that there was a unique aura within this little brat's body that strongly attracted her twin spirits, making her feel incredibly comfortable.
Moreover, she found that this little brat's physical strength far exceeded her expectations. At this rate, once he reached level 40 and obtained his fourth soul ring, he would be able to withstand her extraction of the dragon veins.
Thinking that Ye Han's appointment as Holy Son would take at least two years, which should be enough time for him to reach that level of strength, Bibi Dong secretly rejoiced. This way, she could extract the twin dragon veins from this little brat before his appointment as Holy Son and then eliminate him.
