Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 614 One whale fall brings forth all things
The Martial Soul Empire.

The Pope's Palace.

Pope Bibidon was taking a bath. The huge wooden tub was covered with flower petals, and a screen blocked the view, so only the sound of rushing water could be heard from inside.

Bibi Dong stretched out her lotus-like arm, pushed aside the two obstructions blocking her view, and looked at the fire lotus mark on her lower abdomen, which was still bright and lifelike.

"Lin Xiao, are you dead or not?"

Bibi Dong is conflicted.

In the first week, she dared not make any rash moves, after all, although that battle was earth-shattering and attracted the attention of the three great empires.

But no one knows how it ended.

Therefore, almost all factions are waiting, waiting for news of Lin Xiao, and waiting for news about that great battle.

However, it was all in vain.

As a result, all the major powers began to try to obtain information from Fengge, but to no avail.

"But sometimes, having no news at all is also a kind of news."

"At the very least, we can be certain that Lin Xiao will not be able to return in the short term, and there is a high probability that he has disappeared."

Bibi Dong's eyes sparkled.

It's not just that they're missing; the possibility of them dying is actually quite high.

So it was the second week.

Bibi Dong began to get restless.

Because of Lin Xiao's restrictions, she has delayed launching a war to invade the mainland, fearing that Lin Xiao might notice something amiss.

But now, the worries are gone.

But Bibi Dong still had reservations.

Until the past month.

She could no longer hold back.

The events that Lin Xiao and that mysterious expert clashed a month ago shocked everyone and even terrified Bibi Dong.

Is this the power possessed by the gods?

Have Lin Xiao and that mysterious expert already become gods, or are they infinitely close to being gods?
Since Bibi Dong did not become a god, she naturally did not know what kind of power a god-level expert possessed.

But she naively assumed that once she became a god, she would have the power to contend with, or even overwhelm, Lin Xiao.

"Besides."

"If Lin Xiao is dead, then that mysterious expert is likely still alive, which would pose a great threat to me. If Lin Xiao is dead, I no longer need to worry about him. On the contrary, in order to guard against that mysterious expert, I must become a god as soon as possible."

“If Lin Xiao hadn’t died, he must have some compelling reason for not being able to come back. Once he returns, he will be in control of everything, and now is the best time for me to take the initiative.”

"Not to be missed!"

"We need to act quickly. The final part of the Rakshasa God's ninth divine trial requires absorbing enough resentment to help me become a god! And the fastest way to generate resentment is through the dead!"

When a person dies, they naturally feel immense resentment; and the living also feel immense resentment because of the pain of losing loved ones.

therefore.

War is the best weapon to reap resentment.

Bibi Dong didn't care at all whether launching a war at this moment would be detrimental to the Spirit Empire. What she wanted was not to unify the continent, but to become a god!

If one cannot become a god, what is the point of unifying the continent?
And after becoming a god.

What difficulty is there in unifying the continent?
"Wow~"

A sound of water was heard.

Bibi Dong stood up, her soul power automatically evaporating the moisture from her body, and put on the papal robes.

"Summon Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to see me!"

Bibi Dong's pretty face was frosty, and her eyes held an indescribable madness and obsession.

We've been preparing for so long.

It's time to sound the war horn.

……

Worship Hall.

A woman with long golden hair, a slender figure, and an angelic, graceful beauty was kneeling devoutly before the angel statue.

"Xue'er, you still have two more tests left in your Angel God Trial. Lin Xiao may have already met with misfortune, and the burden of the continent will ultimately fall on your shoulders." "Bibi Dong has launched a war without regard for anything else, and I'm afraid her Rakshasa God Trial is also nearing its end. But don't panic. You are different from Bibi Dong. She has no one to back her up, and she is destined to spend a longer time on the Ninth God Trial."

"But you still have your grandfather."

Qian Daoliu was both comforting Qian Renxue and urging her on.

however.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue looked puzzled.

"Grandpa, what do you mean by that?"

"Why do you say that Bibi Dong has no one to back her up, while you can back me up? Do you think it's easier for me to become a god than for Bibi Dong?"

Qian Daoliu smiled without saying a word.

A hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

"Xue'er, nothing is different."

"But no matter what, you must believe that your grandfather is always there for you."

Qian Renxue nodded obediently.

She suddenly said:

"Grandpa, there's something you said that I think is wrong. Lin Xiao won't have met with any misfortune. How could someone like him die?"

"The only person I've ever met in my life who surpasses me in every way, even leaving me far behind, will definitely not end his story here."

"Besides, isn't Lin Xiao's martial soul a phoenix? Phoenixes are capable of rebirth!"

"It just needs time..."

Qian Daoliu smiled helplessly and said indulgently:
"Okay, Xue'er is right."

However, he could only manage a bitter smile.

Lin Xiao's strength has probably reached the god level, and the one who fights him must be a veteran god-level expert. How could Lin Xiao be a match for him?

However, this is fine.

In the first few days after Lin Xiao disappeared, Xue'er shed a lot of tears.

It's good to give her something to look forward to.

But Qian Renxue will eventually understand that on the road of life, no one can accompany her to the end, not even herself, nor Lin Xiao.

She will eventually experience loneliness.

……

In the plague-stricken secret realm.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both so frightened that their faces turned pale and tears streamed down their faces.

The scene of Dugu Bo undergoing the divine test was simply too horrifying. His pain was no different from that of Lin Xiao when he underwent the Evil Fire Body Severing, but it appeared to be even more tragic from a visual perspective.

For two young girls, it was downright disgusting.

Dugu Bo's constantly oozing pus, festering flesh, and rotting bones allowed people to witness the entire process of his decay.

"The god of plague... could he be an evil god?"

Ye Lingling was a little scared.

But his hands were not idle at all; the healing light rain of the Nine Heart Begonia kept falling on Dugu Bo.

"Whether it's evil or not is not important."

Dugu Yan bit her lip.

"Grandpa learned that Lin Xiao had been kidnapped by the Silver Dragon King, which is why he risked everything to attempt the final two divine trials."

"Such pain, if it were to continue, would be truly terrifying..."

Dugu Bo kept his eyes tightly closed.

It wasn't until he truly experienced that kind of desperate pain again that he realized it wasn't as difficult as he had imagined; the so-called pain was just a matter of getting used to it.

Instead, he began to perceive the truth of the plague amidst this decaying suffering...

Plague is not just a disease; it contains the path of decay, yet within decay lies new life.

For example, a whale fall.

It is like a whale falling, from which all things come to life.
