Bibi Dong's GiftGazing at the familiar yet unfamiliar man before her, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent and madness as she coldly said:
"Who are you?!"
His voice was cold and authoritative, giving people a sense of oppression that they dared not disobey, as if they would be overwhelmed by his raging fury if they did.
The evil personality 'Dai Yao' was not afraid at all. He reached forward, wanting to grab Bibi Dong's snow-white chin, but unexpectedly, eight spider spears suddenly shot out from behind Bibi Dong. The sharp, deep purple spear tips were only an inch away from Dai Yao's skin.
Bibi Dong's face had become more ruthless, and combined with the eight evil spider spears on her back, she gave off a ferocious and wicked feeling.
"I'm asking you one last time! Who are you?! What did you do to Dai Yao?!"
The clear, cold voice echoed like pearls falling to the ground in the empty Papal Palace.
Faced with the threat of eight spider spears imbued with deadly poison, the evil personality 'Dai Yao' showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he examined Bibi Dong's spider spears, even reaching out to touch them, marveling at them:
"This external soul bone is truly remarkable..."
Although external soul bones are precious, there are two people in the original work who possess the same type of external soul bone.
One is Tang San, and the other is Bibi Dong, both possessing external spirit bones from spider-type spirit beasts. In this life, Tang San's external spirit bone fell into Dai Yao's hands, so he was curious to know how Bibi Dong's external spirit bone differed from his own.
The evil personality's attitude of not taking him seriously completely enraged Bibi Dong, and the sharp spider spear slowly pierced towards Dai Yao.
Finally, it stopped on Dai Yao's skin.
The evil personality raised an eyebrow slightly, defiantly meeting Bibi Dong's gaze, and said:
"What? You're too scared to stab me now? Didn't you already guess? I am Dai Yao, and Dai Yao is me!"
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her red lips trembling slightly, and said with difficulty:
"No, impossible! You can't be Dai Yao!"
Although she was questioning the man in front of her, she knew very well that he was actually Dai Yao.
Moreover, as the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, she could clearly sense the intense, overwhelming evil emanating from the evil personality 'Dai Yao,' which even caused her to feel a deep sense of unease.
This is definitely not the Dai Yao who once saved her.
"In a sense, I am not the Dai Yao you know."
The evil personality answered casually.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong felt a little relieved, but then the evil personality's words dealt her a fatal blow.
It felt like being pierced by a thousand arrows.
"However, the reason I was able to appear is thanks to you. If it weren't for you giving that guy the most painful and cruel blow when he was at his weakest, most exhausted, and most in need of support, that guy wouldn't have had so many negative emotions."
"It gave me the foundation for being born."
The evil personality stared at Bibi Dong, smiled slightly, and his face was full of smugness.
This sense of pride, however, was like a sharp sword piercing Bibi Dong's heart, causing her unbearable pain.
The evil personality revels in Bibi Dong's suffering, as if inflicting unbearable pain on the betrayer is his most precious delicacy.
Although his words were somewhat evasive, they did contain a grain of truth.
If it weren't for Bibi Dong's betrayal, Dai Yao wouldn't have had so many negative emotions. Ultimately, it was the guidance of the Dark Demon God Tiger Soul Ring that gave birth to another personality.
Just then, a few golden lights flashed in the evil personality's black pupils. It paused slightly, then muttered:
"Honestly, this guy just can't stand seeing a woman cry..."
The next moment, the golden light in his eyes suddenly ignited like flames, quickly filling his entire pupils, and his black hair turned back to gold.
The normal personality 'Dai Yao' has returned.
"Are you... alright?"
Looking into Bibi Dong's heartbreakingly beautiful eyes, Dai Yao hesitated for a moment, his outstretched hand stopping in mid-air, and he softly comforted her.
When the evil personality was in control of his body, he could sense what was happening in the outside world. The evil personality's actions were like using words as knives to stab Bibi Dong's heart.
Bibi Dong's experiences are pitiful. In this world, only I can currently earn her trust. However, if the evil personality is allowed to continue to pursue Bibi Dong's past mistakes and responsibilities, Bibi Dong will fall into a vortex of self-blame, constantly falling, and eventually shutting herself off, repeating the mistakes of the original story.
Bibi Dong stared intently at Dai Yao, her delicate body tensing uncontrollably, her pearly teeth clenched so tightly that bright red blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
"Was that personality of yours created because of me? Why won't you tell me?"
Bibi Dong said in a trembling voice.
Without the purple and gold crown symbolizing her papal status, her long purple hair hung down, making her appear less majestic and more fragile and vulnerable.
Dai Yao felt a pang of helplessness. His anger at being fooled by the soul beast had activated another personality. Looking into those self-reproachful, beautiful eyes, Dai Yao's heart trembled slightly, and he sighed, saying:
"No, that guy's birth has nothing to do with you."
"It was born by chance when I absorbed a spirit ring in the Star Dou Great Forest. Although this personality has caused me a lot of trouble, it has also brought many benefits. The most obvious one is that I have a third spirit."
"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul".
"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul?"
Bibi Dong asked in surprise.
As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she was well aware of just how terrifying the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was. Possessing the divine sense of an evil god, it occupied the very top of the spirit beast pyramid.
Generally speaking, humans cannot possess the martial spirit of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, as the human body cannot withstand the extreme evil power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
But if someone truly possessed such a martial soul, then among human soul masters, there would be one more god-level martial soul comparable to, or even slightly superior to, the six-winged angel…
Dai Yao already possessed a god-level martial soul comparable to the six-winged angel martial soul—the Sacred White Tiger—and he also harbored an even more terrifying gun-type martial soul.
Although Dai Yao's gun-type martial soul didn't have any spirit rings attached, he still managed to fight his way out of the Hell City with just the power of his martial soul, which shows how domineering this martial soul is.
Now, Dai Yao has obtained another martial soul of the same level, and can add nine more soul rings. He can truly be called the darling of the heavens.
She only possesses twin martial souls, yet she has achieved such accomplishments, reaching the end of the path of a human soul master and ascending to the position of pope. Dai Yao, who possesses three martial souls, must have an even greater destination than she has!
"That's right, it is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul. The reason that evil personality was born is mainly due to the extremely evil power contained in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring, which is beyond human absorption. It has little to do with you."
"You don't need to blame yourself."
Dai Yao smiled and comforted him.
Although Dai Yao explained the reason for the emergence of his other personality, Bibi Dong still stubbornly believed that she was the one who harmed Dai Yao.
Even though Dai Yao was fortunate enough to obtain a martial soul comparable to a six-winged angel, the evil personality of 'Dai Yao' made Bibi Dong feel a strong sense of resistance and unease.
That wasn't the Dai Yao she knew!
If she hadn't forced Dai Yao away, Dai Yao would never have gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt that 50,000-60,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and his other personality would never have been born.
This self-blame was like a razor blade, slowly cutting into her heart, causing her to become somewhat delirious from the pain.
Taking a few difficult breaths to ease the suffocating feeling, Bibi Dong quietly looked at Dai Yao and said breathlessly:
"Dai Yao, actually I have a gift I want to give you."
She didn't want to use any words to explain her determination to Dai Yao, but rather let time prove it!
What gift?
Dai Yao was taken aback.
"Come with me."
Bibi Dong said softly.
With a gentle tap of the papal scepter, a faint purple ripple spread out from the center, and Bibi Dong and Dai Yao vanished instantly from the papal palace.
The next moment, Dai Yao appeared in mid-air, with rolling mountains beneath his feet. With each leap, the shapes of the mountains beneath him changed, as if they were moving towards some destination.
Where are we going?
As Dai Yao looked at the ever-changing mountains beneath his feet, a sense of familiarity unexpectedly arose in his mind.
Bibi Dong smiled, and with a final flash, a magnificent scene suddenly appeared beneath her feet.
It was a huge valley, where a hundred-meter waterfall cascaded down from the mountaintop, crashing heavily against a black rock with a deafening roar.
"This is?!"
Dai Yao's eyes widened suddenly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
This was the valley where he had lived in the Spirit Hall for four or five years, a place that held countless memories for him. Now, it looked exactly the same.
"Come with me, this isn't a gift I prepared for you."
Seeing Dai Yao's expression out of the corner of her eye, Bibi Dong relaxed a little, and smiled slightly.
Dai Yao was somewhat tempted; he was looking forward to Bibi Dong's gift.
The next moment, the two appeared in the valley.
Looking at the scene in the valley, Dai Yao's face instantly showed horror.
The waterfall, hundreds of meters long, seemed to connect with the sky, producing a deafening roar. Dai Yao was always amazed when he saw such a scene.
But what horrified him was not the waterfall.
On either side of the waterfall, a soul beast is imprisoned.
On the left is a serpentine spirit beast, its waist as thick as a water vat, and its body long, easily over a hundred meters. Purple chains tightly bind its waist, imprisoning it to the rock wall; their length is almost the same as the entire waterfall.
But the most eye-catching thing is the bull's head.
Thick white steam billowed from the cow's nostrils, and its large, copper-bell-shaped eyes held no life, only endless weariness and weakness.
On the other side of the waterfall is a giant ape.
The granite-like limbs were firmly chained to the rock wall, and the places where the chains touched the limbs were corroded with dark purple marks.
His limbs were limp and weak, clearly indicating that he was not in good condition.
"Titan Ape?! Azure Bull Python?!"
Dai Yao asked in surprise.
The soul beast imprisoned on the rock wall was none other than Xiao Wu's best friends, Da Ming and Er Ming.
The once mighty king of the Star Dou Great Forest is now imprisoned on the rock wall, unable to move, unable to live, unable to die, a pitiful sight.
Sensing someone intruding, the two divine beasts opened their eyes simultaneously, looking wearily at Bibi Dong with eyes full of hostility.
"Human woman, give us a quick death! You've imprisoned us here for so many years, yet you haven't killed us, instead absorbing our spirit rings. What exactly do you want?"
The Azure Bull Python said coldly.
Bibi Dong leaned on her papal scepter, dignified and majestic. She slightly raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at the Azure Bull Python. The purple chains that released evil energy suddenly tightened, scorching the skin of the two divine beasts.
"So verbose!"
Bibi Dong said calmly.
Immediately, she turned to the side and smiled slightly at Dai Yao:
"Dai Yao, this is the gift I prepared for you."
"You've seen these two spirit beasts before; they're friends of that rabbit. I used to think you had twin martial souls, and it's not easy for twin martial souls to find suitable spirit rings, so I specially prepared these two spirit beasts for you. I brought them out of the Star Dou Great Forest with great difficulty and imprisoned them here."
"But I didn't expect that you would now have a Three-Life Martial Soul. As a result, it will be even more difficult to collect suitable Soul Rings."
"Alright, now hurry up and kill them, and absorb their spirit rings."
Bibi Dong's willing gaze deeply moved Dai Yao.
In the original novel, Bibi Dong searched the entire continent to collect suitable spirit rings. Later, she even gathered most of the Spirit Hall's forces to hunt down Da Ming and Er Ming in the Star Dou Great Forest. However, she was helpless and ended up doing all the work for Tang San.
But now, it's quite unbelievable that Bibi Dong is willing to give him both of her 100,000-year soul rings.
"Forget it, there's no need. I know how much you crave a 100,000-year-old soul beast, there's no need to be so generous."
Dai Yao smiled and said.
Bibi Dong stepped forward anxiously to defend herself:
"No! No! I'm not pretending to be generous! These two spirit beasts were originally prepared for you. In my heart, even if I do all this, it can't make up for the hurt I caused you back then! Besides, wasn't the gift you gave me before you left far more precious than these two spirit rings?"
In Bibi Dong's heart, the level 99 soul power that Dai Yao left her before he left meant that she did not have to resort to bloody methods to inherit the Rakshasa God's position.
This is far more valuable than two 100,000-year soul rings!
Dai Yao smiled and shook his head, saying:
"I appreciate the sentiment, but I still cannot accept these two spirit rings..."
As he was speaking, the Azure Bull Python's thunderous voice interrupted him.
"It's you!"
The Azure Bull Python sized up Dai Yao beside Bibi Dong and recognized him as the one who killed Xiao Wu back then—the very figure that had once filled Bibi Dong with hatred!
The weariness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a raging fire of anger.
"You killed Sister Xiaowu, I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
The azure ox python struggled violently, trying to break free of its restraints and swallow the man before it whole.
After being reminded by the Azure Bull Python, the Titan Ape recognized Dai Yao. Its chest bulged with anger, its limbs bulged with muscles, and it roared violently.
The two divine beasts struggled desperately, wanting to perish together with Dai Yao, causing the seal of the entire valley to tremble slightly. If Bibi Dong hadn't already used divine power to imprison them, preventing them from self-destructing, they would have preferred to self-destruct rather than hand over their soul rings to their enemies.
"So noisy!"
Bibi Dong gave a soft shout, and her massive level 99 spirit ring instantly covered the entire valley. Under the immense pressure, the two already weakened divine beasts could not even struggle and howled in pain.
"I told you, your spirit rings and spirit bones all belong to him!"
The clear, cold voice echoed through the valley, like a divine decree. (End of Chapter)
