Bibi Dong understood instantly.
[Li Yifei: In the future of the story, because you couldn't let go of your old feelings for Yu Xiaogang, you repeatedly showed mercy to the protagonist.]
[Li Yifei: And every time you showed mercy, it would be captured by the rakshasa demonic thought, which judged it as 'weakness' and 'betrayal'.]
[Li Yifei: Then, the demonic thought would erode your sanity even further, making you more insane, more brutal, and causing you to make more irreversible mistakes.]
[Li Yifei: Ultimately, it turns you completely into a monster that knows only slaughter and destruction, becoming the most perfect and 'well-deserved' final villain on the protagonist's path to godhood.]
Li Yifei's description was calm yet cruel.
He reduced a seemingly complex entanglement of fate into a cold "nurturing plan" orchestrated by the Asura God behind the scenes, targeting the successor of the Rakshasa God.
Bibi Dong was that "nurtured" monster.
And Yu Xiaogang—the man she once loved and was about to hate to the bone—was the marionette used by the Asura God to manipulate her emotions and lead her step by step into the abyss...
...the dog leash named "feelings" tied around her neck.
"Pfft—"
Bibi Dong spat out another mouthful of blood.
This time, she didn't spit blood out of anger or humiliation.
She was... literally sickened to the point of spitting blood by the nauseating, extreme malice behind it all!
So that's how it was.
It turned out she didn't even have autonomy over her own feelings.
Her love for that trash, her hesitation and struggle because of that love—everything had been calculated perfectly.
What she thought was deep affection was merely a pawn on the God King's chessboard, used to lure her into making mistakes.
What she thought was the rakshasa demonic thought was merely a "backdoor program" installed in her mind by the Asura God, ready to be detonated at any time!
How ironic!
How tragic!
In the Chat Group, there was a deathly silence.
All the young girls were so shocked by this truth that they were speechless.
Earlier, they were still mocking Bibi Dong for being "lovestruck."
Now they realized that Her Holiness the Pope was nothing more than the most pathetic victim, toyed with from beginning to end.
[Worlds Number One Princess: This... this is too disgusting, isn't it? Calculating even someone's feelings? Is this Asura God... a pervert?]
For the first time, Ning Rongrong put away her schadenfreude, her tone filled with discomfort and loathing.
[Little Fox Demon: Teacher...]
Hu Liena's thoughts were filled with heartache.
She couldn't imagine what heavy shackles her teacher had been bearing all these years.
[???:...]
Qian Renxue remained silent.
But in her heart, a storm even more violent than Bibi Dong's was brewing.
The Rakshasa God Trial had a backdoor.
Then what about her Angel God Trial?
As a first-class god and also a stepping stone for that "protagonist"...
...would her path to godhood also have traps laid in advance by the Asura God or some other God King?
She had always thought her greatest enemies were Bibi Dong and the internal power struggles of Spirit Hall.
Now she discovered with horror that her true enemy was hidden in the higher-dimensional God Realm, so powerful that she didn't even have the right to look up at them.
And she didn't even know how much that enemy had tampered with her Legacy.
This fear of the unknown was even more agonizing than known despair.
Just then, a weak voice broke the silence in the group.
It was Xiao Wu.
[Bunny is So Cute: Um... Brother Yi Fei.]
[Bunny is So Cute: Who is the protagonist of that story you mentioned?]
This question instantly pulled everyone's attention back.
Indeed.
After all that talk about stepping stones and God King successors...
...who exactly was this "protagonist" who climbed up by stepping on the two gods of Spirit Hall?
Li Yifei's answer was simple and direct.
[Li Yifei: Tang San.]
Tang San?
This name was very unfamiliar to most people in the group.
Only a few people showed thoughtful expressions.
[A Little Wild Goose: Tang San? That name... I seem to have some impression of it.]
Dugu Yan's thoughts carried a hint of uncertainty.
[A Little Wild Goose: Seems to be someone from the Clear Sky Sect?]
[Is Jade Not Jade: Tang Hao's son?]
Liu Erlong's thoughts also surfaced.
She remembered the name because Yu Xiaogang had mentioned to her that he had taken on an extraordinary Disciple with twin spirits, who was Tang Hao's son.
At the time, she was even happy for Yu Xiaogang.
Thinking about it now, she only felt irony.
It turned out that the so-called extraordinary Disciple was the real powerhouse.
And the man she had loved her whole life was just an insignificant accessory to that powerhouse.
However, no one was more shocked than Xiao Wu.
[Bunny is So Cute: Xiao... Little San?!]
Her thoughts were full of incredulous exclamations.
Although she had some guesses, since she hadn't heard of that "Grandmaster" having any other Disciples.
But when it all became reality, it still shook Xiao Wu deeply.
The protagonist... is Little San?
He... is the successor of the Asura God?
In the future... he will overthrow Spirit Hall and defeat the Pope and the Angel God?
Xiao Wu felt her world was in complete chaos.
Ignoring their individual shock, Li Yifei simply dropped another piece of information sufficient to drive Spirit Hall completely mad.
[Li Yifei: Oh, right, I forgot to mention.]
[Li Yifei: This protagonist, Tang San.]
[Li Yifei: His father is the Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, the head of the Upper Three Sects, Tang Hao.]
[Li Yifei: His mother...]
Li Yifei's thoughts paused deliberately here.
[Li Yifei: Is a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor who Cultivated into human form.]
If the previous information was a precision strike against Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue...
...then this sentence was a declaration of total, relentless war against the entire Spirit Hall!
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast!
Something Spirit Hall had hunted for years and paid such a high price for, something they dreamed of!
Was actually... the protagonist's mother?
Between Spirit Hall and Tang San, from the moment of his birth, it was destined to be a blood feud, a fight to the death!
Inside Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong laughed.
She raised her hand and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her expression no longer showing a trace of pain or despair.
In its place was a near-manic, morbid calm.
So that's how it is.
She finally understood completely.
The grudge of a murdered mother leaves no possibility of reconciliation.
There is no room for compromise.
From the moment she ascended to the Papal throne, from the moment Tang San was born, only one of them could survive.
