Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Bibi Dong Becomes a God
The Iceworm fell silent. After a long pause, it finally spoke in a low voice, "No matter how useless I am, I'm still part of the soul beast race."
"As the ruler of soul beasts, is this how you treat your own people?"
"What kind of ruler are you, then?!"
Right now, it was just an Iceworm. It had only taken the name "Tianmeng Iceworm" after breaking through to the million-year level.
Tianmeng's questioning made the Silver Dragon King fall into deep thought.
"Master, there's no need to let this bother you," Di Tian quickly said, seeing that the Silver Dragon King seemed to be wavering.
"This guy's only faith is in the Ice God…"
"Besides, all that soul power on him just lets him live longer. It's of no real benefit to the soul beast race."
"For us to absorb his soul power is to help our race grow stronger, faster."
"A necessary sacrifice must be made."
"Di Tian, you're full of shit!"
"Why should my brother be the one sacrificed?!"
"If those who contribute nothing must die, then you—!"
Tianmeng's words broke off there—he was cursing so viciously he couldn't even finish.
Not only that, but Di Tian suppressed Tianmeng into slumber using his soul power.
"Mm…"
The Silver Dragon King fell into a long silence.
"Survival of the fittest. I can only sacrifice you."
In the end, the Silver Dragon King came to a conclusion.
Sacrificing Tianmeng Iceworm in order to create more powerful soul beasts was the correct path.
After all, even Tianmeng himself admitted he was useless. Even if he reached a million years, what would it change?
It might only draw the attention of enemies.
"Di Tian, focus on your breakthrough."
"Yes, Master!"
Di Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Silver Dragon King stop hesitating.
What he feared most was that the ruler might grow soft and spare Tianmeng.
Tianmeng wasn't part of the Star Dou lineage, didn't worship the Dragon God, and worst of all—he was useless.
Other than being food, he served no purpose.
If Snow Empress had absorbed those ten-thousand-year ice essences instead, perhaps the soul beast race would already have a new god.
Such is fate.
Tianmeng Iceworm had no talent, no noble bloodline, yet his luck was the envy of every soul beast.
Just by eating and eating, he had reached nine hundred thousand years—and was now not far from a million.
Scene change: over to Bibi Dong.
She was the true protagonist today.
After coming to terms with her past, her heart cleared, and becoming a god followed naturally.
Now, she had become the true Rakshasa God!
"Rakshasa, your divine weapon is honestly kind of ugly," she said.
Now that she had truly inherited the Rakshasa God's position, her treatment was completely different from what it had been in the original story.
In the original, her divine weapon came from the evolved left and right arm soul bones she got after killing the hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Queen.
A single soul beast producing two soul bones—Bibi Dong was uniquely blessed.
Even the main protagonist of the original never received such treatment.
Now, having conquered the Rakshasa divine power and truly become the Rakshasa God, the previous Rakshasa God passed on his divine weapon to Bibi Dong.
It was a giant blood-red scythe—a two-handed weapon.
A crimson glow slowly pulsed along its body, like flowing blood.
"You don't think your self-evolved divine weapon looked any better, do you?" the Rakshasa God said with a hint of annoyance.
Weapons—divine artifacts—as long as they were strong enough and suited to the user, did appearances really matter?
Hearing that, Bibi Dong couldn't bring herself to tease the Rakshasa God anymore, because her own evolved divine weapon was even uglier than this Rakshasa Ghost Scythe…
"Sigh…"
Bibi Dong let out a soft sigh, a trace of sorrow flashing across her stunning face.
"If that little blond brat and Xue'er come asking me to help raise their child in the future, and we run into danger…"
"If the child sees their grandma looking like this, they'll probably be terrified."
Rakshasa God: "0.o"
She was stunned—was Bibi Dong insane?
"One hundred days from now—that is, one hundred years in Douluo time—I will leave the God Realm."
"This is your final period of time in the mortal world."
"During this time, whether something happens or not, do not seek me out. Even if I hear you, I won't respond."
"As for the matter of the Asura God's inheritor, you can forget it…"
Bibi Dong froze. After breaking through to godhood, the first thing she planned was to scour the Douluo Continent to find out who the Asura God's inheritor was.
Then, before that person could ascend, she would seize the Asura origin.
But now, the former Rakshasa God was telling her not to bother?
"Why?"
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes narrowed, her brows furrowed tightly in confusion.
"Actually, during the war between Heaven Dou and Star Luo, I already discovered the inheritor of the Asura God."
"She devoured all the killing intent and bloodlust on the battlefield."
"At first, I thought this was an opportunity—a chance to kill the inheritor of the Asura legacy."
"But once I saw who it was, I realized just how despicable and shameless that Asura bastard really is!"
"She actually passed her legacy… to the God King of Thunder, Kong!"
"In other words, that little blond brat you mentioned…"
The former Rakshasa God stopped speaking.
Bibi Dong's expression turned very strange. She never imagined that the inheritor of the Asura God was actually Kong!
She stood there, stunned and numb.
"Rakshasa, didn't you say that a person can only inherit one divine position?"
"That's under normal circumstances."
"But the God King of Thunder isn't normal…"
Bibi Dong's red lips parted slightly, as if to speak but stopped.
The joy of ascending to godhood had already been cut in half.
After a while, Bibi Dong let out a sigh.
"If you feel there's nothing left for you in the Douluo Continent, you can come to the God Realm sooner. That way I can leave earlier, too."
"I really don't want to stay in the God Realm even one more day."
Hearing that voice in her mind, Bibi Dong immediately chose to block it out. Go to the God Realm early?
Impossible!
Suddenly, something seemed to occur to Bibi Dong. She left the secret chamber and went to her "office."
"Your Holi—"
Seeing Bibi Dong, Yue Guan's entire body trembled, and he quickly bowed in salute.
But before he could finish speaking, Bibi Dong waved her hand to cut him off.
"Call me Minister!"
"..."
"Minister, you've ascended to godhood?"
"Mm."
"By the way, where is Deputy Minister Gui right now?"
"Reporting to the Minister, Deputy Minister Gui is currently in the Frozen Forest. That Tang San has been hunted by the Temple of Thunder and fled into the forest—it's been over a year."
"Good. Have Deputy Minister Gui return."
"And while he's at it, kill Tang San…"
Although Yue Guan didn't understand why Bibi Dong had changed her strategy, he still nodded.
Back when the Spirit Hall still existed, he and Ghost Douluo served under Bibi Dong.
Now that the Spirit Hall was gone, they still served under her.
"Congratulations, Minister, on ascending to godhood…"
