Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

(Even a clay figure has some temper, and I don't want to argue with people, but some people just like to fixate on the fact that there are no evil spirit masters in the original work. I'm really annoyed. Why get so hung up on a book? Isn't it all about enjoying it? Since you like to bring up the original work so much, then my book isn't suitable for some people. I ask those people to read the original work and not my book. I don't care!)

Chapter 17: Bibi Dong's Suspicion – How Could She Have Fallen in Love with Jade?

Watching Gu Shenge's departing figure, Bibi Dong's gaze never left her, revealing deep regret and a hint of emotion that she herself was unaware of.

If only they could have met sooner, when she was sixteen, when she was in her prime, graceful and beautiful, still a pure and innocent girl.

Unfortunately, I was born before you were born, and you were born after I had grown old.

Staring blankly outside the hall, Bibi Dong was somewhat lost in thought. These past few nights, she would always compare Yu Xiaogang and Gu Shenge, but the more she compared them, the more unbearable Yu Xiaogang seemed in her heart.

In terms of talent, Yu Xiaogang is a complete waste. He is almost fifty years old and is still only a Great Soul Master, with no hope of breaking through to Soul Venerable in his lifetime.

Gu Shenge is only twenty-three years old, but her cultivation level has already reached level ninety-three. In terms of talent, she not only surpasses Yu Xiaogang, but also surpasses all the soul masters on the continent, reaching an unprecedented level.

In terms of knowledge, although Yu Xiaogang is known as a master, Bibi Dong knows that the knowledge he possesses is only widely circulated within the Soul Master faction and has not been passed on to the common people. However, any Soul Master who joins the Spirit Hall will understand it.

During her interactions with Gu Shenge these past few days, Bibi Dong discovered that he often came up with some ingenious ideas, and in particular, he had a good command of literature.

Moreover, he is gentle, considerate, humorous, and a warm-hearted man, giving her a great sense of security. As long as he is by her side, Bibi Dong feels like she has someone to rely on, making her feel at ease and no longer lonely.

However, Yu Xiaogang used to be dull and only knew how to study martial spirit knowledge. He was a complete bookworm, and his personality was cowardly, incompetent, and insecure. He even fell in love with his cousin.

Without comparison, there is no harm. In every aspect, Gu Shenge completely crushes Yu Xiaogang. The gap between them is like the sun in the sky and the dust on the ground.

Bibi Dong couldn't understand why she had fallen in love with Yu Xiaogang in the first place.

Ah~ People will eventually be troubled by things they couldn't have in their youth, and they will also find the answers to their lifelong questions through a person, an event, or a scene.

Deep in her heart, Yu Xiaogang's image had begun to be replaced by Gu Shenge.

Bibi Dong often wondered if she would have avoided all the subsequent events if she had met Gu Shenge instead of Yu Xiaogang.

The reason that beast ruined her and didn't want her to be with Yu Xiaogang was because Yu Xiaogang was from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who was at odds with the Spirit Hall, and was also a good-for-nothing, while she was a rare genius of the Spirit Hall, and they wouldn't allow her to have a relationship with any other man.

But Gu Shenge is different. He doesn't belong to any Soul Master faction, and he's an unparalleled genius. He's even willing to join the Spirit Hall for her sake, making him a true chosen one.

The more Bibi Dong fantasized that she had met Gu Shenge instead of Yu Xiaogang, the more regretful she felt. She wished she had met him sooner, and a bitter taste and a sense of inferiority rose in her heart.

She felt that she was not good enough for Gu Shenge.

He is the sun high in the sky, while she is a spider sinking in a dark quagmire. The sun will set, but it will rise again the next day, but she cannot climb out of this quagmire.

But what if one day his sun falls forever?

…………

Mingjie.

After five days of changes, the once barren small plane has begun to show signs of life.

A small grove has formed around the golden ancient tree saplings. The dozens of saplings planted are thriving under the nourishment of life energy, growing vigorously and reaching a height of more than two meters. Their branches and leaves are lush and green.

However, to Gu Shenge's surprise, all the small animals he released died, and all of them died from the same cause.

Died of thirst.

Their flesh and blood still contain a rich vitality and are full of life, but they are still dead. The life energy can ensure the nutrition their bodies need, so they will not feel hungry, and they will become more and more energetic, and their life level will also evolve.

However, without water, without the source of life, they would still die. Life energy cannot replace water, and they have not evolved to the point where they do not need water.

After five days without a drop of water, it would be strange if they didn't die of thirst.

There is water in the Bright Realm, but not much; it exists in the soil, which plants can absorb, but living organisms cannot.

This was also Gu Shenge's mistake; she didn't pay enough attention to this point. Before introducing water into the Ming Realm, it was not advisable to raise any more creatures.

"Ok?"

Suddenly he was stunned. Although it was only a tiny bit, as the Lord of the Bright Realm, he could still clearly feel that the origin of the Bright Realm had become slightly stronger. If one did not carefully perceive it, it would be almost imperceptible.

If we compare them based on numerical values.

The previous origin of the Bright Realm was 1, so the current origin of the Bright Realm is 1.000001.

Although the growth was pitifully small, it was still a pleasant surprise.

So what caused the plane's origin to strengthen? Gu Shenge's gaze fell on the small animal corpses. Could it be because of them?

He thought of the settings in many novels he had read before, where cultivators would perish and transform into the Dao, returning everything they possessed to the world, thus ensuring the eternal operation of the world.

In modern, popular terms, it's the "law of conservation of energy".

These small animals are all foreign beings and do not belong to the Bright Realm, so they are not subject to the law of conservation of energy in the Bright Realm; they are extra.

Although the energy they produced after their deaths was extremely weak, it still allowed the Ming Realm's origin to grow stronger after being harvested by the Ming Realm.

Gu Shenge's eyes lit up. If even these insignificant little soul beasts could strengthen the origin of the Bright Realm, then if he slaughtered a few hundred thousand-year-old soul beasts and threw them into the Bright Realm, wouldn't the origin of the Bright Realm increase rapidly?

There's something going on!

This provides another way to enhance the origin of the plane.

"System, can you create a world panel for me?"

Gu Shenge communicated with the system, hoping it would create a world panel for him so that he could better create his own world.

[Ding~ Please wait a moment, host.]

A system voice sounded in Gu Shenge's mind, and soon a world panel appeared in front of him.

[World Real Name: Bright Realm]

[Lord of the World: Gu Shenge]

[World State: Newly Born Minor Plane]

[World Perfection Level: 5.003%]

[World Origin: 1.000001 (Note: All things in the world are created from this origin; the more origins there are, the more powerful the world becomes.)]

Looking at the last annotation on the origin of the world, Gu Shenge fell into deep thought.

If what is said above is true, then the energy that Mingjie harvested from those small animals must be the origin of the Douluo Continent.

Since all things in the world are created by an origin, can he, as the Lord of the Bright Realm, also use the origin of the Bright Realm to create all things?

The thought had just surfaced when Gu Shenge suppressed it.

The original source of the Ming Realm is too scarce now, and the Ming Realm is only a newly born small plane. Instead of wasting the original source to create all things, it is better to directly plunder the Douluo Plane and harvest its original source.

It's like you just bought a small house, but it has no furniture or appliances, and you need to buy them all. But your parents have a big villa, and it has countless pieces of furniture and appliances.

If you already don't have enough money, you only need to spend a little more time moving some of the furniture and appliances from the big villa to the small house, and you can have a complete house. That way, you won't have to waste money buying furniture and appliances.

Chapter 18: Stealing a Kiss from Bibi Dong!

Inside the palace, Gu Shenge appeared. Tomorrow was the investiture ceremony. If he wanted everyone to remember him and make him famous throughout the world, he had to do something that would shock everyone.

Or, tomorrow, I could confess my feelings to Bibi Dong in front of everyone; that would absolutely shock the entire continent.

But he quickly rejected the idea; if Bibi Dong didn't agree, he would become a laughing stock across the entire continent.

"Xiao Gu, come to the Hall of Offerings."

Just as Gu Shenge was pondering how to shock everyone, she heard Old Master Qian's voice in her ear. Without thinking twice, she immediately prepared to go to the Hall of Worship.

As soon as I stepped outside, a figure in wine-red came into view. She stood quietly at the door, seemingly lost in thought, a hint of hesitation on her exquisite face.

When Bibi Dong saw the door suddenly open, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Dong'er, why are you here?"

Gu Shenge was also a little puzzled. This was the first time Bibi Dong had come to him, and she was calling him Dong'er so familiarly.

When the beautiful pope heard him call her Dong'er, a blush rose on her fair cheeks, but she straightened up and said in a dignified tone, correcting his form of address.

"Don't call me Dong'er in broad daylight. It's not good if people hear it. Call me Your Holiness the Pope."

"Very well, Your Holiness the Pope."

Gu Shenge nodded with a smile, which satisfied Bibi Dong, and she then revealed the purpose of her visit.

"I just received news that the Demon Soul Cult is very likely to cause trouble at your investiture ceremony, and two elders have already arrived in Wuhun City."

"Elders, what does the Demon Soul Sect take Martial Soul City for? Do you think you two elders dare to cause trouble in Martial Soul City?"

Upon hearing that the Demon Soul Sect was planning to cause trouble in his investiture hall, Gu Shenge raised an eyebrow. Who gave them the courage? Liang Jingru?

It's important to know that Qian Daoliu attaches great importance to this investiture ceremony. All the elders and retainers of the Spirit Hall will attend, and there will be at least fifteen titled Douluo-level experts present. In addition, there will be experts from other spirit master forces. Even if the Demon Soul Sect were to send its entire force, it wouldn't gain any advantage. What were they thinking? Sending two elders to their deaths?

Bibi Dong noticed his confusion. In fact, she was just like him. When she heard that two elders from the Demon Soul Sect had come to cause trouble, her first thought was that these two elders were not well-liked in the Demon Soul Sect, so they were sent to their deaths.

"Those guys from the Demon Soul Cult have always acted strangely and cannot be judged by common sense. It's best to be careful. It's possible that those two elders are just covering up, or that they've sent other powerful figures out of our sight. It's best to be cautious about tomorrow's ceremony."

Two titled Douluo sound powerful, but they are no match for the Spirit Hall. Since the Demon Soul Sect wants to cause trouble, they will definitely not only send two elders, but there must be other powerful figures in the background.

Gu Shenge agreed with Bibi Dong's words, but she also had a little expectation in her heart. The Demon Soul Sect was coming to his door to deliver his achievements!

If he could single-handedly kill those two elders at tomorrow's investiture ceremony, it would be enough for him to become famous throughout the continent.

"Well, then I'll go back first."

Having said what needed to be said, Bibi Dong was afraid that staying too long would make others see her, so she turned to leave, but Gu Shenge grabbed her fair and delicate hand.

The beautiful woman's hands were warm, soft, and smooth, with an excellent feel that made one reluctant to let go once they held them.

With a slight pull, he drew Bibi Dong in front of him, and with his other hand, he pulled her slender waist into his embrace.

His Holiness the Pope was somewhat taken aback by Gu Shenge's bold move. He subconsciously wanted to push him away, but when he looked up and met those loving and tender eyes, he gave up struggling. A blush crept onto his cheeks, and his beautiful eyes revealed a girl's shyness. He lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and pleaded softly.

"Let me go, it will have a bad influence if others see this."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shenge obediently let go, which made Bibi Dong secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but also felt a sense of loss. The moment she was hugged, she felt a warmth enveloping her, like the warm sun in spring, which was very comfortable and reassuring, giving her a desire to keep going forever.

However, given her status as the Pope, it would damage her dignity if others saw this.

"Wait for me at the usual place tonight."
