After breaking through to godhood, Bibi Dong forcefully took back control of Spirit Hall. As the Pope of Spirit Hall, even though she had lost a group of trusted subordinates, her years of accumulated prestige allowed her to quickly reorganize and establish a new loyal leadership from the top down.
Of course, the most critical factor was that Bibi Dong had become a god, breaking through the blockade of the Elder Hall and allowing her to reclaim her authority.
In the Douluo Hall!
Before the Angel Statue, Qian Daoliu frowned deeply. He keenly sensed that, except for the Douluo Hall protected by the Angel Statue, the entire Spirit City was now enveloped in a sinister aura—the divine power of the Rakshasa God.
"A calamity, a calamity! Bibi Dong has finally become a force to be reckoned with!"
Qian Daoliu sighed regretfully. He should have killed Bibi Dong when she killed Qian Xunji, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. By the time Bibi Dong began her Rakshasa God trials, it was already too late for him to act.
Then, with a resolute expression, he turned to Qian Renxue and said:
"Xue'er, whether Spirit Hall and the entire continent can be saved now depends on you. Only the descent of the Angel God can stop Bibi Dong's evil deeds, save the Douluo Continent, and rescue millions of people!"
Qian Renxue stood tall and straight. The small angel mark on her forehead burned intensely, as if stimulated by the sinister aura, causing the divine power of the Angel God to surge violently.
Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and blessings may hide misfortune!
While Bibi Dong's inheritance of the Rakshasa God was indeed a great calamity, the stimulation of the Rakshasa God's power caused the Angel God's power to rise further. For Qian Renxue, this was both a challenge and an opportunity.
In times of crisis, the value of light becomes even more apparent. Inheriting the Angel God's position would now be relatively easier for her.
She raised her head high, her expression firm, and declared loudly:
"Good and evil cannot coexist! Bibi Dong's actions are against the natural order. On the day I become a god, even if it costs me my life, I will kill her. Evil will never triumph over good. I will restore peace and tranquility to the continent!"
As soon as she spoke, the small angel mark on her forehead glowed brightly, enveloping her in a holy light. She appeared noble, sacred, and untouchable, impossible to look at directly.
Qian Daoliu looked at her with pride. His granddaughter was a natural-born Angel God. With such a compassionate heart, inheriting the divine position would not be difficult.
…
On the other side, after reclaiming power, Bibi Dong's first act was to recall all Spirit Hall soul masters from the territories of the two empires.
After gaining control of all the soul masters, the agents she had planted in all the kingdoms and duchies began seizing power. Almost overnight, palace coups occurred simultaneously in these kingdoms and duchies.
By the time the sun rose the next day, all the kingdoms and duchies had surrendered to Spirit Hall, requesting its leadership.
Bibi Dong accepted their surrender, took control of their territories, people, and armies, and declared the establishment of the Spirit Empire, with herself as its first empress.
With the power of a god, Bibi Dong acted decisively. Any disobedience was met with death, allowing her to effortlessly transform Spirit Hall into the Spirit Empire.
Thus, in less than ten days, a new empire spanning the two great empires and based on all the kingdoms and duchies emerged on the continent.
When the news reached the two empires, the entire nations were in an uproar. No one had expected Spirit Hall to suddenly become the Spirit Empire.
In the Heavenly Dou court!
Xue Ye gritted his teeth, trembling with anger. After all, half of the Spirit Empire's territory consisted of four kingdoms and one duchy that were originally part of the Heavenly Dou Empire. In other words, they were all Heavenly Dou's territories.
Although the four kingdoms and one duchy had long become states within a state, they still nominally recognized the Heavenly Dou Empire as their suzerain.
Now, the Heavenly Dou Empire had lost more than half of its territory. As the emperor, Xue Ye felt a burning shame on his face. He stood up and addressed the civil and military officials in the court:
"My ministers, tell me how we should respond. Spirit Hall has become the Spirit Empire and has taken half of our territory. I will not tolerate this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward. He was visibly excited, seeing this as an opportunity for revenge. He had once sworn amidst the ruins of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan that he would dedicate his life's talents to avenging his family against Spirit Hall.
Now, with the entire Heavenly Dou Empire's fury, he could use it to burn Spirit Hall to ashes and avenge his family.
Yu Xiaogang declared with conviction:
"Your Majesty, now is the time to send troops. The Spirit Empire has just been established, and its foundation is the kingdoms and duchies of the two empires. Its internal affairs must be in chaos. If we do not send troops now and allow Bibi Dong to consolidate her power, the Spirit Empire will truly become an empire, and it will be much harder to deal with later."
His words were reasonable and struck a chord with Xue Ye. However, starting a war would bring immense internal and external pressure. Therefore, he needed more support. He scanned the crowd and spoke with authority.
"Minister Yu's words are very reasonable. What do the rest of you think?"
Ning Fengzhi felt that something was amiss. Spirit Hall, which had been quiet for two years, had suddenly transformed into the Spirit Empire in just ten days. Something major must have happened.
In truth, it would be best to investigate the truth before discussing whether to send troops.
However, seeing Xue Ye's gaze, he realized that the emperor was not seeking their opinions but their approval. After some thought, he decided not to oppose, as he also wanted to use the Heavenly Dou Empire's million-strong army to confront Spirit Hall's tens of thousands of soul masters.
"Your Majesty, Minister Yu's words are absolutely correct. The Spirit Empire cannot consolidate all the kingdoms and duchies in such a short time. Sending troops now, even if we cannot completely destroy Spirit Hall, will allow us to reclaim our lost territories and reintegrate the kingdoms and duchies back into the Heavenly Dou Empire. Your Majesty will then be a great ruler."
"Afterward, even if Spirit Hall has tens of thousands of soul masters, without vast territories to support them, they will lack food, weapons, and population. Eventually, they will be destroyed by Your Majesty."
Xue Ye's spirits were lifted, as if he had eaten ice on a scorching summer day. That's right! The original kingdoms and duchies had already been disobedient. This was the perfect opportunity to fully reclaim them for the Heavenly Dou Empire.
In this way, the Heavenly Dou Empire's power would reach its peak, and he would become a great ruler in the empire's history.
"Haha!"
Xue Ye laughed heartily and said:
"Excellent, excellent! This is excellent! My ministers, I have made my decision. We will send troops south, with Ge Long as the Grand Marshal, commanding the empire's 800,000-strong army. Our first goal is to reclaim the lost territories of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and our second is to completely destroy Spirit Hall."
The civil and military officials in the court were also filled with excitement.
"We obey your command!"
Ning Fengzhi remained calm. This was the perfect opportunity for the Heavenly Dou Empire to test the Spirit Empire's true strength. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would not intervene until the final moment.
Yu Xiaogang was filled with fervor. His heart was pounding, and he roared inwardly, "Father, Second Uncle, Mingfeng, Mingyuan… Watch me! I will follow the 800,000-strong army south, crush Spirit Hall, and kill Bibi Dong to avenge you. It's a pity that my disciple is still out training. Otherwise, I could have requested His Majesty to make him a general. With Little San's strength, he would surely make great contributions and become famous across the continent. My name, Yu Xiaogang, will also be remembered by all."
