Yin Zhang clicked to inspect the item.
[Zhu Xian · Zhu Xian Sword]: A one-time-use summoning item. Adjusted by the system, its power is locked at the God Rank. When summoned at a critical moment, it can instantly kill any target below the level of a Deity. It can also be summoned to block an attack from a Deity and reflect 150% of the damage back to the attacker (regardless of their strength).
Yin Zhang stared at the description.
"…Damn."
To think it had such an outrageous effect.
Instantly killing anyone below godhood—and even blocking and countering an attack from a true Deity.
Seeing this, Yin Zhang immediately decided to treat this item as his ultimate life-saving trump card. With it in hand, even if the Asura God backing Tang San personally moved against him, Yin Zhang could rely on this card to withstand the attack—and potentially injure or even severely wound the Asura God in return.
He let out a long breath.
"Great. Now I finally don't have to keep walking on eggshells."

As for the God Realm above—
One day in the God Realm equaled an entire year on the Douluo Continent.
Within the luxurious divine palace of the Rakshasa God, she suddenly jolted awake.
After sensing the disturbance that had awakened her, disbelief flooded her expression.
"This… how is this possible? Isn't Bibi Dong the Supreme Pontiff? How has she fallen into such a state?"
Before the Rakshasa God hovered a divine mirror. Inside it, a woman with a cold, elegant temperament was cultivating cross-legged in what looked like an ordinary room.
As the deity who had bestowed the Nine Rakshasa Trials upon Bibi Dong, the Rakshasa God could calculate her condition with ease. What confused her now was this—
Why had Bibi Dong left Spirit Hall and come to cultivate alone in such a place?
Did she not understand the later stages of the Nine Rakshasa Trials?
She must understand them.
Then was there some unavoidable reason?
Or… had Bibi Dong actually been driven out of Spirit Hall?
The Rakshasa God was utterly baffled. What puzzled her even more was that Bibi Dong's current cultivation efficiency was actually better than when she had been in Spirit Hall.
The Rakshasa God knew that while serving as Supreme Pontiff, Bibi Dong had been burdened with endless administrative duties, limiting her cultivation time. But even with more free time now, that shouldn't directly improve her aptitude—let alone to this extent.
After pondering for a moment, the Rakshasa God used the Nine Rakshasa Trials as a conduit. A wisp of divine power vanished from the God Realm and descended upon Bibi Dong's body.
As for the claim that the gods of the God Realm could not interfere with the Lower Realm?
Pure nonsense.
In the original timeline, after Tang San was killed by Bibi Dong, it was the Sea God and the Asura God behind him who went to the Food God and the Nine Heavens Goddess, persuading them to resurrect Tang San using their divine abilities.
By the time Tang San became a god, and throughout Douluo II and even Douluo III, the Douluo Continent had effectively become his backyard. Though he claimed that gods could not interfere with the mortal realm, he conveniently forgot that rule whenever it suited him—eagerly descending again to "train" his so-called successor, Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, Bibi Dong was cultivating in a small city on the northern border of the Star Luo Empire. She had been there for three or four months already.
Ever since being driven out of Spirit Hall by Yin Zhang, she had drifted aimlessly before finally settling here.
Along the way, she had continuously gathered information about hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts, hoping to obtain such a spirit ring as soon as possible—strengthening herself so she could reclaim everything that had been taken from her.
Bibi Dong had also realized that after leaving Spirit Hall, her mental state had undergone a profound change. As a result, her cultivation efficiency had increased dramatically.
Just as she was cultivating, a familiar yet terrifying divine force suddenly poured down from the crown of her head, flooding her entire body.
Bibi Dong was instantly jolted out of her cultivation state, fear filling her eyes.
The sensation dragged her back to that stormy night more than ten years ago.
The night she learned she was pregnant with Qian Xunji's child.
That night marked the complete transformation of Bibi Dong. The naïve, innocent girl she once was vanished forever—replaced by a cold, ruthless woman.
It was precisely because of this transformation that the Rakshasa God, who had been searching for a successor, set her sights on Bibi Dong.
In truth, the Rakshasa God had wanted to remain in the God Realm forever—immortal and undying.
But she had no choice.
She needed to pass on her God Position as soon as possible, so she could leave the God Realm.
Decades earlier on the Douluo Continent, a man named Tang Chen had entered Slaughter City and begun the Nine Asura Trials.
Just when the Asura God believed he had found a successor, something went wrong during the final trial—one that should have been effortless.
The Rakshasa God had long planted a hidden move within Slaughter City. Seeing her old rival on the verge of securing a successor, resentment filled her heart.
And so, just as Tang Chen was about to inherit the Asura God's position, she secretly interfered—causing Tang Chen to suffer a catastrophic qi deviation at the final step. A vicious bat king invaded him, parasitizing his body and exiling his consciousness into endless darkness.
Originally, the Rakshasa God believed that with the God Realm Committee's rules—and with the Asura God himself being one of its members—nothing would come of it.
But she was wrong.
The Asura God's temper was far more violent than she had imagined. He dragged her out of her divine palace and beat her brutally. At one point, the Rakshasa God genuinely believed she would be killed on the spot.
Only when the other four God Kings intervened did the Asura God finally stop.
Though she survived, the Rakshasa God was gravely injured.
And fearing the Asura God's lingering hatred, she became even more eager to pass on her God Position and leave the God Realm as soon as possible.
As for why she didn't simply abandon the God Position without a successor—
It was because this position was extraordinarily special.
Even after passing it on, as she wandered the universe, the Rakshasa God would continue to receive power from it. Should the position ever be elevated from a First-Class God to a God King, her own strength would surge dramatically as well.
Unfortunately…
Things did not go as planned.
In the original timeline, Bibi Dong was killed by Tang San not long after becoming the Rakshasa God.
And in this world—
Her situation seemed even more dire.
