Chapter 537: The Mad Bibi Dong
Qian Renxue hesitated slightly before a hint of helplessness appeared on her face. "My mother's divine soul does exist in the Netherworld, but… her condition is very poor."
Ever since Bibi Dong shielded her from Tang San's attack, sacrificing herself but still begging Tang San to spare her daughter, Qian Renxue's perception of her mother had undergone a dramatic shift.
Before Bibi Dong's death, she had even called her "Mom" something that would have been absolutely impossible in the past.
Even though she knew Bibi Dong had killed her father, making her the murderer of Qian Renxue's own blood, in the end, Bibi Dong was still her mother.
She had even saved her life.
And with her grandfather telling her not to seek revenge on Bibi Dong before his passing, she eventually let go of any desire to be enemies with her mother.
Huo Yuhao looked at Qian Renxue with curiosity. "Her condition is bad? Is she also in a fragmented soul state, like you?"
Qian Renxue nodded. "Strictly speaking, my mother is also a fragmented soul. But her state in the Netherworld is far better than mine."
"She was once the Rakshasa God and could absorb dark thoughts from both the living and the dead to strengthen herself and condense Rakshasa Divine Power."
"Even though she is now trying to reforge her Rakshasa God throne and can't compare to her peak, in a place like the Netherworld where almost every existence is a dead soul her strength is recovering far faster than mine."
"Purely in terms of power, my mother is much stronger than I am."
"I strongly suspect that once she completely reforms the Rakshasa God throne, Tang San will personally descend to snatch it away. After all, the Rakshasa God was always completely countered by the Asura God."
"But my mother's biggest problem isn't power it's her state of mind. That's why I say she's in poor condition. To put it simply… she's gone insane. She can only recognize a few people, including me."
Huo Yuhao was taken aback and asked with a puzzled expression, "Bibi Dong went insane? Why?"
Qian Renxue's expression turned complicated. "Naturally, because of Yu Xiaogang."
"I never expected that Tang San could be so ruthless not only toward his enemies but even toward his own teacher and master's wife."
"I originally thought that Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong would be granted extended life spans by Tang San, perhaps even allowing them to become pseudo gods."
"Even if they lacked the talent to become true gods, as long as Tang San was willing to help them, it wouldn't have been impossible. After all, he's a God King!"
"But Tang San showed absolutely no respect for his former teacher. Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong both aged and died naturally. Their souls eventually ended up in the Netherworld, where my mother captured them."
"For three thousand years, my mother tested Yu Xiaogang's love for her."
"She eventually realized the truth that Yu Xiaogang had never truly loved her."
"In utter despair and rage, she destroyed Liu Erlong's soul right in front of him and has since been torturing Yu Xiaogang's soul daily for the past seven thousand years. That was when my mother started going insane."
Huo Yuhao fell silent for a moment.
Bibi Dong… she wasn't a good person, but compared to Tang San, she was far less despicable.
That said, Bibi Dong had always been a romantic fool and her obsessiveness had led her to extremes.
If she had truly realized Yu Xiaogang's true nature, then given her extreme personality, it was no surprise that she would react this way.
After all, Yu Xiaogang was nothing more than a fraud, living off false prestige.
Even his so called theories were nothing more than stolen knowledge from the Spirit Hall's ancient texts.
But Bibi Dong, blinded by love, had deluded herself into believing that Yu Xiaogang was brilliant.
To take three thousand years just to recognize the truth was incredibly excessive.
However, if Bibi Dong was already torturing Yu Xiaogang's soul daily, then perhaps…
He could recruit Bibi Dong into his war against the Divine Realm.
Yes.
Let her loose on Tang San's doorstep.
Of course, fully reviving Bibi Dong rebuilding her godly body would be far more difficult.
Based on what happened in Tang San's resurrection scene in Soul Land I, to fully regain a God's power, one would need a divine body, divine soul, divine weapon, and godly armor.
With Tang San's personality, he definitely wouldn't have preserved Bibi Dong's divine body especially if he planned to steal the Rakshasa God throne.
However, if he turned Bibi Dong into an undead, then the difficulty would be greatly reduced.
And more importantly undead were absolutely loyal.
But first, he needed Qian Renxue to act as an intermediary.
Based on how things ended in the original timeline, it was clear that Bibi Dong still cared for her daughter.
And besides, both of them needed enough faith energy to rebuild their divine thrones and take revenge on Tang San.
Even if Qian Renxue was helping Ye Guyi inherit the Angel God throne instead of herself, faith was still necessary.
Huo Yuhao turned to Qian Renxue. "Does Bibi Dong want to leave the Netherworld to take revenge on Tang San?"
He wanted to confirm his theory and since Qian Renxue was bound by his Divine Flame, she wouldn't betray him.
Qian Renxue nodded. "Of course. My mother might be insane, but her hatred for Tang San has only grown stronger."
"Tang San not only stopped her from unifying the Douluo Continent but also lied to her face, promising to spare me only to turn around and kill me himself."
"If my mother has the chance to leave the Netherworld, she will do anything for the sake of revenge. If you want her to join the war against Tang San, I don't think there will be a problem."
After spending ten thousand years in the Netherworld, she had developed a much deeper understanding of Bibi Dong and was confident in her answer.
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Good. Qian Renxue, I want you to return to the Netherworld and tell Bibi Dong this "
"I can bring her out of the Netherworld."
"I can help her take revenge on Tang San."
"I can even help her recover her power faster."
"But in return, she must swear absolute loyalty to me."
"Additionally, I want you to convince the surviving members of the Spirit Hall and the Angel Clan."
"Once you complete this, use the Divine Flame I granted you to contact me, and I will personally bring all of you out of the Netherworld."
After all, the Spirit Hall's fallen warriors, the Angel Clan remnants, and Bibi Dong herself were all prime candidates to be transformed into undead warriors.
Qian Renxue agreed without hesitation.
Immediately, Huo Yuhao sent her back to the Netherworld.
Then, he returned to his cultivation, focusing on increasing his strength while waiting for her signal.
Meanwhile…
Inside the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Palace.
A side hall.
Xu Tianran sat in his wheelchair, gazing at the Spirit Pagoda's elite forces gathered before him, a smile forming on his face.
