From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 307 Please Call Me, Your Eternal Pope! [Thanks to 'Piaoyezi' for the donation]

If the soul tool research involving Chen Hong was a geometric shape that Chen Hong forcibly took the lead in, stretching it into an acute triangle approaching zero degrees, then after losing Chen Hong, the soul tool research of the Technology Chamber of Commerce was like the millions of roots under a tree, curiously exploring everything around them, eventually forming a technology tree that, although not high in technical level, had extremely vigorous roots (basic technology).

In this context, the Tech Chamber of Commerce's expansion of basic soul tool technology is also raising Chen Hong's technological ceiling. When Chen Hong feels the time is right and devotes himself fully to climbing the soul tool technology tree, supported by the solid foundation established by the Tech Chamber of Commerce, soul tool technology will soon form a vast cluster (technology tree) under Chen Hong's unilateral pull.

If the area of ​​a triangle represents the technological foundation of a civilization, then the Technology Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for measuring the 'width,' while Chen Hong will be responsible for measuring the 'height.'

"It seems you have your own views on the situation on the mainland."

Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong sat on the throne, looking down at Chen Hong with deep eyes, and slowly spoke.

"I'm curious, when did you first become aware of the Spirit Hall's future plans?" Bibi Dong was curious as to how Chen Hong knew that the Spirit Hall had the idea of ​​unifying the Douluo Continent.

It's important to understand that this ambition of Bibi Dong's own gradually formed. Initially, she thought of destroying the Spirit Hall along with it. However, she realized that she shouldn't just perish with the Spirit Hall in vain. Therefore, Bibi Dong simply set a grand goal for herself: if she could lead the Spirit Hall to unify the Douluo Continent, then after unification, her prestige would surpass that of Qian Daoliu and the Spirit Hall, making her the true leader of the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong's desire to destroy the Spirit Hall stemmed from her hatred of Qian Xunji, which extended to her hatred of the Qian family, the Angel Clan. Since the Spirit Hall was the Qian family's enterprise, Bibi Dong's aim in destroying the Spirit Hall was essentially to destroy the Qian family's millennia-old business.

In other words, if all traces of the Qian family within the Spirit Hall are erased, and its prestige surpasses that of the Angel God, then the Spirit Hall will become Bibi Dong's personal power, which is also a form of revenge against the Qian family.

Although Bibi Dong was a bit love-struck when she was young, she was still able to analyze the pros and cons of certain issues.

Bibi Dong herself had three strategies in mind: superior, middle, and inferior.

The worst option is for the Spirit Hall to be destroyed, and for him to perish.

Zhongce's plan was to split the Spirit Hall, with himself and the Angel Qian family each taking half.

The best strategy is for the Spirit Hall to unify the Douluo Continent, making her unparalleled in prestige, and then using the Spirit Hall to establish a Spirit Master empire that belongs to her alone!

"Actually, when I realized that neither the Pope nor the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall had the surname Qian, I had a premonition that the Spirit Hall would definitely make a big move in the future." Chen Hong answered truthfully in response to Bibi Dong's question.

"Hmm? Just because of a surname?" Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.

"Yes, surname." Chen Hong nodded and continued under Bibi Dong's deep gaze: "Although I don't know why His Holiness the Pope wanted to seize the thousand-year-old foundation of the Angel Thousand Family, I do know one thing: if His Holiness the Pope wants to accomplish such a great feat, he needs to meet two conditions."

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed: "Oh? What are the conditions?"

Chen Hong calmly replied, "First, the Qian family of Angels. To put it bluntly, it's Senior Qian's tacit approval."

Bibi Dong paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, continue."

Chen Hong continued, "Although I don't know why His Holiness the Pope received tacit approval from Senior Qian to achieve the most difficult conditions, His Holiness the Pope now needs to enhance his prestige and gain the recognition of the entire Spirit Hall that His Holiness the Pope possesses strength surpassing Senior Qian. At this point, the only way is to accomplish a feat that the Spirit Hall has never achieved before, such as unifying the Douluo Continent."

Chen Hong's voice was calm and clear, and sounded exceptionally loud in the spacious hall.

“.” Bibi Dong stared at Chen Hong silently for a long time, her face calm, but her heart was beginning to surge with turmoil.

She never imagined that there could be someone in this world who understood her heart so well, and who could strip away everything from her heart with just a few scraps of information.

"Phew, thank goodness. This kid is aligned with the Spirit Hall. If he had gone to another sect or force, his plans would have been in their calculations from the start. He might even have been led into a trap by them, until the Spirit Hall was destroyed." Bibi Dong looked at Chen Hong with deep eyes for a long time, and finally sighed inwardly.

"You're smarter than I thought. You can see the big picture from small details, and you can foresee the future from a single leaf. If you weren't on the Spirit Hall's side, I would have killed you," Bibi Dong said calmly and coldly.

Suddenly, Chen Hong smiled, his eyes gleaming with a purplish-black light. Ignoring the mental pressure emanating from Bibi Dong's powerful cultivation level, he looked directly into her eyes and laughed, "If I weren't from the Spirit Hall, you wouldn't have noticed me, would you?"

"Indeed, if you weren't one of the Spirit Hall's people, with your intelligence, the Spirit Hall might never have known you existed until its destruction." Although she was reluctant to admit it, Bibi Dong had to acknowledge that Chen Hong possessed such terrifying potential.

The reason Chen Hong is relatively famous now is actually because the Spirit Hall is strong enough, and this powerful backer allows Chen Hong to appear in public appropriately. However, even so, before today, Bibi Dong's understanding of Chen Hong was only that of a "young man with some intelligence and talent for soul tools".

"I don't care what kind of deal you made with the High Priest, nor do I care what stance your Technology Chamber of Commerce takes, but as long as I live, you must call me Your Holiness the Pope!"

Bibi Dong had already noticed something amiss: Chen Hong's whereabouts seemed difficult to trace. Faced with this unusual situation, Bibi Dong's first thought was of Qian Daoliu's misdeeds.

However, as Chen Hong said, Bibi Dong's most difficult part of her century-long plan of "stealing the sky and changing the sun" was completed effortlessly by "obtaining Qian Daoliu's tacit approval." This at least shows that Qian Daoliu, out of guilt and a desire to make amends, would not cause Bibi Dong any trouble.

Therefore, even if she discovers that Chen Hong is now frequently fooling around with Qian Daoliu, as long as Chen Hong still acknowledges Bibi Dong as his Pope, Bibi Dong will not provoke him.
