Chapter 328: Bibi Dong — My Love Is Gone
"That's right!"
The Asura God let out a cold snort. The furrow at the center of his brow hinted at a trace of worry.
"The revival divine light—a fusion technique between the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess—was my backup plan. I didn't expect the two chosen inheritors to perish prematurely."
The Sea God sighed.
"The only thing we can be thankful for now is that the inheritors of the Rakshasa God and Angel God are deeply hostile to each other. Unless absolutely necessary, those mother and daughter would never join forces."
"If all three first-rank gods joined hands, even if Tang San inherited both our god positions, he still wouldn't stand a chance."
"But even without the Rakshasa God's interference, just the Death God and a fully awakened Angel God together are already enough to leave Tang San with extremely slim chances."
The Asura God glanced resentfully at Xiao Yu, who was unleashing divine might in the light screen. If not for this guy's appearance, he wouldn't be troubled like this.
Damn anomaly—you've already set yourself on the path to death!
"Asura, what do you think we should do next?"
The Sea God was beginning to lose his composure.
"Here's what we'll do. You find a way to lower the difficulty of Tang San's divine trial again. Let him inherit your position as quickly as possible."
The Asura God paused, then added, "Also, go find the God of War for me."
Upon hearing this, the Sea God immediately made a connection.
"The God of War—you mean to have that young man Dai Mubai inherit his divine position?"
The Asura God replied in a heavy tone, "Originally, the plan was to wait until Tang San completed the dual inheritance before gifting those divine positions to his companions as favors."
"But now we'll have to push the schedule forward."
"Although the God of War is only a second-rank deity, his combat power is no less than that of many first-rank gods. With his help, our plan gains some much-needed reinforcement."
"Alright."
The Sea God nodded and got up to leave the Asura God's temple.
Once the Sea God left, the Asura God activated his divine sense, attempting to connect with his inheritance site in the lower realm—the Slaughter City.
The situation was spiraling out of his control, so he no longer intended to follow the original plan step by step.
He was ready to make a move and free Tang Chen from the Nine-Headed Bat King's bindings, so he could serve as a high priest equal in status to Bo Saixi and help pave the way for Tang San's inheritance of the Asura God's divine position.
"…What's going on?"
As his divine sense flowed toward the lower realm, the Asura God's pupils suddenly contracted.
His inheritance site—Slaughter City—was actually sealed by an invisible force. Even his divine power couldn't penetrate it.
"Damn it… could this be a countermeasure left behind by that bastard, Destruction?"
In the Douluo Continent—
Xue Qinghe had passed away. His son ascended the throne. The news that Xiao Yu had become the regent of the Heaven Dou Empire spread like wildfire across the continent.
The world was shaken.
In the Star Luo Empire, Emperor Dai received the news and cursed Tang San and Tang Xiao for their utter incompetence.
It was true that they had succeeded in assassinating Xue Qinghe. But that was merely the first step of their plan.
The crucial part was to push their ally Xue Beng to the throne. Instead, they had played with fire and ended up getting burned.
A sitting emperor had been assassinated, and the wrath of the Heaven Dou Empire would soon fall upon them with full force.
On the very day Tang San returned to Star Luo City, urgent news came from the front lines.
Marshal Ge Long of the Heaven Dou Empire had mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and was preparing for war along the border. Conflict was imminent.
The Star Luo Empire immediately made their own preparations.
The Emperor personally led the army to the frontier to confront Ge Long's forces, and the two sides entered a tense military standoff.
Meanwhile, Tang San, having returned to Star Luo City, persuaded Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi to go to the front lines and oversee the situation.
With heavy casualties among the upper echelon of the Star Luo Empire's three-way alliance, Bo Saixi, as an Extreme Douluo, was now the only one left to hold the line.
At the same time, lacking high-end combat power, Tang San thought of his great-grandfather, Tang Chen.
Back when Tang Chen had appeared before him and Tang Xiao, he had said that he was nearing the final stage of his divine trial. Now, years had passed—surely it should be over by now.
If Tang Chen could complete his divine test and return as a level-100 king, what Heaven Dou Empire? What Nine Star Hall? All of it would be smashed with a single hammer.
Because of this, Tang San had sent several teams to search for Tang Chen in the Slaughter City.
But all of them returned empty-handed.
After all, his great-grandfather Tang Chen had become a wandering soul years ago. The person he had bowed to… was none other than the one Tang San hated most: Xiao Yu.
War loomed between the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Empire, which formed a tripartite balance with the two great empires, quietly pulled troops from several cities bordering Heaven Dou and Star Luo.
Effectively, they opened the road and let the two empires go to war, clearly planning to play the oriole behind the mantis and the cicada.
But what no one knew was that this seemingly wise move from the Spirit Empire was only executed with extreme difficulty, after countless debates and much internal struggle.
The reason was simple.
The Spirit Empire's supreme ruler, the Empress Bibi Dong—her lifelong obsession, her "white moonlight"—Yu Xiaogang, the so-called Grandmaster… was dead.
He died at the hands of the Nine Star Hall.
The sky collapsed. The earth crumbled. Bibi Dong's entire world shattered.
Yu Xiaogang had been the obsession of her entire life.
To help him vent his frustration over being expelled from his clan—and even to pave the way for his... taboo relationship with his cousin—Bibi Dong had once been willing to wipe out an entire clan.
That level of simping and self-sacrificial love could put future generations of lovesick fools to shame.
When news of Yu Xiaogang's death arrived, the furious Bibi Dong immediately issued a decree—one that could've made the Star Luo Emperor and Tang San laugh themselves awake from their dreams:
Full-scale war against the Heaven Dou Empire.
Slaughter every member of the Nine Star Hall and bury them with her love!
Fortunately, most of the high-level figures in the Spirit Empire were still sane. No one dared to follow Bibi Dong into her emotional frenzy.
Under their persistent persuasion, Bibi Dong reluctantly withdrew the order and instead commanded a full military pullback—choosing to sit back and watch the tigers fight.
"Xiaogang, I'm sorry. I can't avenge you yet... but don't worry. One day, I will definitely offer Xiao Yu's head to your spirit in the heavens."
Suppressing the hatred in her heart, Bibi Dong issued the new command. But in her heart, she swore a bitter oath.
From time to time, her eyes, full of loathing, would glance toward the Worship Hall behind the Pope's Palace.
She knew the other culprit who caused Yu Xiaogang's death—that unfilial daughter—was right in there.
Bibi Dong wasn't some simple-minded lunatic—she was a sociopathic maniac.
Her mind, when not clouded by love, was sharper than over ninety percent of the continent's people.
She knew full well that this so-called "Xue Qinghe's death" was just a grand scheme concocted by that unfilial daughter to complete the Angel God's inheritance—with help from that even more despicable son-in-law.
Yu Xiaogang… was merely a pawn caught in the crossfire of their plans.
