Chapter 72 - Douluo: Peerless Ice Throne [72]

Shu Yan fell silent for a moment, as if digesting everything Bibi Dong had said. Then he spoke softly:

"Elder Yi himself doesn't know why the Rakshasa God's position would actively choose to fuse with the origin of the Undead Demi-plane. However, he can guarantee that this was never our intention."

Bibi Dong merely smiled, showing little concern.

"That no longer matters. People must always move forward. What happened today may even have been influenced by my own decision to intervene."

Shu Yan looked at Bibi Dong with a complicated expression. He could clearly sense that the Rakshasa God—once infamous and terrifying—had truly changed.

Over ten thousand years had passed. Every day and every night, she had been forced to face her past failures and humiliation. All of her loyal subordinates lay dormant around her, including even her own daughter. For her, that alone was a form of torment.

Perhaps that saying was right—the Rakshasa God of the past had already perished, and what remained in this world was only Bibi Dong.

The two fell into silence for a while. After a long moment, Bibi Dong spoke again:

"The fusion between the Rakshasa God's position and this plane's origin will take a considerable amount of time. During this period, if you need help, you may call upon me."

"However, I must inform you in advance: before the complete fusion of the Rakshasa God's origin and the plane's origin, my strength is greatly weakened. At best, I can only match a slightly weaker Level Ninety-Nine Limit Douluo. Against truly powerful enemies, I won't be able to offer much assistance for now."

"Additionally, as the Rakshasa God's origin gradually merges with the plane's origin, this undead world will likely undergo certain changes."

"For example, skeletons without attributes may become tainted by Rakshasa's evil power due to changes in the plane, gaining an evil attribute. Their combat strength will naturally increase severalfold. During this process, I will prioritize directing the Rakshasa God's power toward undead beings that have already reached the Title Douluo level or above, allowing them to evolve as quickly as possible and gain even greater strength."

Shu Yan nodded and did not dwell on it further. He said softly:

"Then I'll be troubling you, Senior."

Bibi Dong gave a brief acknowledgment, then suddenly seemed to remember something and added:

"Give me an overview of the current situation outside. To be honest, over these past ten thousand years, I've focused far more on my own issues and know very little about how the continent has changed."

Shu Yan nodded again. He closed his eyes and worked for a moment, after which a faintly glowing white orb flew out from his forehead and drifted toward Bibi Dong's spiritual sea.

"Senior, just relax your mind and sense the information. This contains most of what I know—it covers a wide range of matters. You can review it slowly later."

Bibi Dong skimmed through it briefly, then sighed.

"The continent has changed so drastically… even Shrek Academy has grown to such prominence. Still, it's somewhat fortunate—many bloodlines of my Spirit Hall lineage have managed to survive."

After thinking for a moment, Shu Yan suddenly asked:

"Senior, have you never considered reviving the former Hall Elders and Grand Priests of Spirit Hall?"

Bibi Dong shot him a sharp glare, but still explained:

"By the time I awakened and gained the ability to revive them, their souls had already been forced into reincarnation. The only ones I can revive now are Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo, because their souls have remained in my possession ever since their first deaths. However, it has likely been more than seven hundred years since I last awakened them."

Shu Yan scratched his head awkwardly and said nothing more.

Bibi Dong gazed at the vast army of undead spread across the land, her thoughts slowly drifting. Before long, she spoke again:

"When you leave the undead world later, bring Xue'er's coffin in as well. As for her Angel God armor and the divine artifact—the Angel Sacred Sword—you are unable to take them for now. Let them continue to rest here. If Xue'er awakens in the future, everything can be returned to its rightful owner. If she never awakens… you may choose a new master for them."

Shu Yan agreed without hesitation.

The pain in his body had mostly faded. He stretched his limbs while standing on the faintly trembling ground of the undead world. Just as he was about to relax, a sudden realization struck him—he remembered something Bibi Dong had said earlier.

"Senior, regarding what you mentioned about the plane… could you explain it in more detail?"

His expression gradually grew serious, and his tone became solemn.

Bibi Dong glanced back at him and, after a long pause, said leisurely:

"So you still remembered what I said was important. I thought your reaction speed really was that laughable."

Shu Yan remained silent.

So much had happened today, and with his condition far from ideal, his thoughts had been in complete disarray. He had nearly forgotten such a critical point—upon realizing this, Shu Yan almost wanted to slap himself.

Bibi Dong didn't continue teasing him. After organizing her thoughts, she spoke softly:

"I have the feeling you already know quite a lot, so I won't go into too much detail—just the key points."

"About four thousand years ago, due to a drastic upheaval on the continent, my consciousness formed a strange connection with the plane's will. It told me many things—such as how the plane itself was being eroded by external forces."

"And those two individuals were none other than Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo from ten thousand years ago, and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin. After Tang San ascended to godhood, the two of them also stepped into the divine level due to their status. However, instead of following Tang San into the God Realm, they used his assistance to remain hidden within the Douluo Plane."

"In the years that followed, they secretly began eroding the plane's will."

"Perhaps because Tang San could not openly assist them in this matter, their progress was not particularly fast. However, even dripping water can pierce stone. With a dual-god-position God King like Tang San presiding over the God Realm, as long as enough time passed, the plane's will would eventually be worn away."

"When that happens, Tang Hao would become the true ruler of the plane, and Ah Yin would become an existence similar to the plane's core. By then, even if the gods of the God Realm realized the truth or regretted it, it would already be too late."

"Their actions have caused intense resentment throughout the entire Douluo Continent. The plane's will wishes to resist, but while also enduring erosion from those two, it is simply powerless."

"But in the end, it told me that four thousand years later, the Golden Age would open once more. At that time, there would still be a chance to struggle."

"I summarized its meaning, and it ultimately came down to two words."

Bibi Dong suddenly smiled. Looking directly at Shu Yan, she enunciated each word clearly:

"These two words are—"

"Twin Fates of Fortune…and a Clash of Destiny."
