Chapter 461.

"You possess extraordinary potential," Bibi Dong said calmly. "I believe even the gods would see you as a worthy heir."

Her words were clear — she acknowledged Wang Feng's qualifications to inherit divine power. She admired his abilities and seemed to suggest that if he aligned with her, she could guide him toward inheriting godhood.

"Why must we inherit the power of others?" Wang Feng suddenly asked.

Bibi Dong was momentarily stunned, unable to respond.

"If we, as mortals, can only surpass our limits by inheriting the power of gods," Wang Feng continued, "then how did the first gods come to exist? Were they born from the beginning of heaven and earth, or did they achieve divinity through cultivation?"

"If they attained godhood through cultivation, doesn't that mean we –could also cultivate to become gods?"

The room fell silent. Bibi Dong's entire demeanor froze.

She had no answer.

Wang Feng's question had shattered the very foundation of her understanding.

Yes, where did the first gods originate? Were they naturally formed, or did they ascend through cultivation? If gods could –be born through sheer will and determination, then why couldn't she or anyone else achieve the same?

For the first time, Bibi Dong faced a concept she had never considered.

Seeing her dazed expression, Wang Feng felt a wave of regret.

'Did I say something unnecessary?'

Judging by her reaction, Bibi Dong might truly consider the possibility of cultivating her own path to godhood. And knowing Bibi Dong — the most exceptional genius of the original Douluo Continent beside Tang Chen, only rivaled by Tang San because of his cheats— it didn't seem impossible.

But to create a god's position from nothing? Such a feat would require a pioneer, someone daring enough to challenge the natural order.

'Did I just spark that ambition in her?'

Wang Feng grew anxious.

'Should I have provoked her like this? Would she now see me as a threat?'

Killing her seemed out of the question. Bibi Dong had already begun to radiate the aura of a god. Even if Wang Feng unleashed his Pangu Axe, the odds of victory were slim, and death was almost certain.

But then, Bibi Dong suddenly laughed.

Her laughter was light and crisp, melodious yet unsettling. The smile on her face was breathtaking, carrying an allure that sent chills down Wang Feng's spine.

"Wang Wu, you truly are a peerless genius," Bibi Dong praised. "The idea of cultivating to become a god... only someone with no preconceived notions could think of something so bold. Do you know what I felt when I first heard your words? I thought it was absurd, childish, and ignorant."

She paused, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.

"But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how ridiculous, childish, and ignorant my own thinking was."

Wang Feng: "..."

"I have never heard of anyone becoming a god through their own cultivation, nor did I ever believe it was possible," Bibi Dong admitted, gazing upward. "But your words... they opened a door I never knew –existed. Maybe... just maybe... it is possible."

Wang Feng: "..."

He didn't know whether to feel proud or terrified.

"Wang Wu," Bibi Dong continued, her tone suddenly firm, "I have a task for you. Go to the Heaven Dou Empire and observe someone for me — Xue Qinghe."

Her abrupt change in topic caught Wang Feng off guard.

"You may not be aware of what happened after that day when you absorbed the Star Five Headed Dragons," Bibi Dong explained. "While you were focused on the battle, I secretly dispatched another person to capture the humanoid soul beast. But do you know what happened?"

"It failed?" Wang Feng guessed, his heart trembling slightly. He hadn't expected Bibi Dong to share this information so openly.

"Exactly," she nodded. "The one I sent was one of my most trusted subordinates, a Titled Douluo at level 96. But his strength far surpasses that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, capable of challenging even a level 97 opponent. I never used him during the soul-hunting operations, but during this particular mission, I had him follow you discreetly to ensure –nothing went wrong."

The revelation sent a wave of unease through Wang Feng.

"To think that even someone so powerful had been defeated... just how terrifying was the true enemy at play?"

"I'm worried about that Wang Feng," Wang Feng said, pretending to show concern.

"Yes, Wang Feng," Bibi Dong replied solemnly. "But I didn't expect his strength to have grown to such an exaggerated level. Phantom Death Douluo pursued Tang San and the others while they were fleeing. Just as you predicted, some of them were indeed on the verge of death — Tang San, in particular. But the humanoid soul beast chose to sacrifice itself to save Tang San!"

"Originally, with Phantom Death Douluo's strength, capturing the humanoid soul beast should have been easy. But Wang Feng killed him and nearly took Ghost Douluo's life as well! Five years ago, this boy could barely hold his own against two Titled Douluos at early levels. Yet now, he managed to kill a level 96 Titled Douluo, and not just any Douluo, but someone as formidable as Phantom death Douluo!"

"Then he is indeed powerful," Wang Feng nodded, feigning agreement.

"The appearance of this boy could severely disrupt my future plans," Bibi Dong said in a low voice. "Due to my current situation, I can't act directly. I need you to do something for me. Go to the Heaven Dou Empire and observe Xue Qinghe and Tang San from the shadows. Your goal is to ensure Xue Qinghe successfully ascends to the throne as Emperor of Heaven Dou."

"Regardless of whether you succeed or fail, return to the Supreme Pontiff Palace in three months. I will then take you to a special place — a place where you can inherit the power of the gods and experience divine strength firsthand!"

A faint smile spread across Bibi Dong's face.

"If you intend to cultivate and become a god through your own means, then at the very least, you should understand what divine power truly is."

Wang Feng: "..."

"Additionally, I will publicly announce your death," Bibi Dong said with a glint in her eye. "After all, when you faced the four 100,000 year soul beasts and detonated yourself, it would only be natural for the world to believe you perished. At that time, the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Sky Bull Python were still chasing the humanoid soul beast. They wouldn't have had the chance to know your actual fate."

"Thus, your title as the White Pontiff will temporarily vanish. When you go to the Heaven Dou Empire, make sure no one discovers your presence — not even me. If I can't find you, then our enemies will have no chance of tracking you down."

"However, limited contact will be necessary. Should you succeed in aiding Xue Qinghe's rise to the throne, I will offer you an additional reward. As long as it is within my power, I will fulfill one request of your choosing."

Wang Feng now fully understood Bibi Dong's plan.

She intended to erase his existence from the public eye, while secretly positioning him as a hidden force to assist Qian Renxue in consolidating control over the Heaven Dou Empire. It was a masterstroke in strategic deception.

Wang Feng couldn't help but admire Bibi Dong's brilliance.

Especially her decision to announce his death.

It would completely put Tang San and his allies at ease, making them believe Soul Hall Palace had lost both its White Pontiff and its strongest asset. This false victory –would make them complacent, unaware that Bibi Dong had sent him on a covert mission.

'Bibi Dong is terrifyingly clever. Without someone like Tang San to oppose her, it would be impossible to stop her plans.'

However, even as he recognized the cunning of her scheme, Wang Feng remained unsure about how he should proceed.

"Also, Tang San will inevitably become a significant threat in the future," Bibi Dong's voice grew cold. "The humanoid soul beast must have sacrificed itself for him. Despite him only being at rank sixty-something, he now possesses a 100,000-year soul ring — and not just any ring, but one gained through sacrifice. His potential is undeniable. One day, he will become a formidable enemy."

"But for now, let him grow," Bibi Dong continued with a chilling smirk. "Compared to you and Wang Feng, Tang San is insignificant. I'll deal with him later."
