Qian Renxue turned around and looked at the man sitting calmly in the main seat—her father, Qian Yu.
In this grand hall, it seemed that only the father remained unmoved by anything.
"Father."
Qian Renxue walked quickly to Qian Yu's side, her eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.
Do you know this Gu Yuena?
"Does the so-called Dragon God really exist in this world?"
Upon hearing her daughter's question, Qianyu slowly put down the teacup in her hand.
He glanced up at the sky, his lips not curved into a pretentious smile, but rather into a calm acceptance of the world's ways.
"Of course I know."
Qianyu's voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly in the empty hall.
Bibi Dong and Hu Liena also subconsciously perked up their ears.
"The Dragon God is one of the most powerful deities at the beginning of time."
Qianyu spoke calmly, as if recounting an ordinary past event.
"The Dragon God of yesteryear, with his own strength, ruled over all the beast gods in the divine realm. His power was even greater than that of the several god kings."
"Later, during the great war in the realm of gods, the Dragon God was defeated and cleaved in two by the Asura God's sword."
"Although it died, its soul did not perish; instead, it split into two parts."
"A portion of it inherited the Dragon God's powerful physique and violent emotions, transforming into the Golden Dragon King, who was sealed in the forbidden area of the divine realm."
"And the other part..."
Qianyu pointed to the stunningly beautiful silver-haired woman in the sky.
"She inherited the Dragon God's control over the elements, as well as his original rationality and kindness, and transformed into this Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena."
"She took advantage of the chaos to escape the God Realm and has been hiding in the Douluo Continent to recuperate."
"The reason why the Star Dou Great Forest can become a holy land for soul beasts is precisely because of its existence."
Qianyu's words, though spoken casually, stirred up a storm in everyone's hearts.
Even the introduction on the sky screen wasn't this detailed; it was just mentioned in passing.
But Qianyu could explain the details of the Dragon God's split and the whereabouts of the Golden Dragon King in great detail.
Qian Renxue looked at her father, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.
"Father, you know so much!"
"That's a secret that even the gods might not know."
"It seems that Gu Yuena's background is indeed extremely extraordinary."
Qian Renxue was filled with pride.
This is her father.
No matter how bizarre things happen in this world, in his father's eyes, they all seem to be nothing more than fleeting clouds.
Bibi Dong, who was not far away, was also full of surprise.
Her gaze toward Qianyu became extremely complicated.
As the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, she also glimpsed some ancient secrets in the Spirit Hall's secret manuals and the Rakshasa God's inherited memories.
But all they knew was that a Dragon God had ever existed.
As for splitting into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, that was something she had never heard of before.
"Qianyu..."
Bibi Dong silently recited the name in her heart.
"Who exactly are you? Why is it that there seems to be nothing in this world that you don't know?"
"Your erudition is far beyond what I, as the Pope, can match."
Just then, the scene above the sky changed again.
That was the moment when the second-place prize was awarded.
Two dazzling streaks of light pierced the sky and fell into the depths of the Starry Sky Forest.
Immediately afterwards, text appeared.
[Reward 1: Secret Technique - Dragon God Transformation!]
[Reward Two: The Supreme Artifact - Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd!]
Upon seeing those large characters, Bibi Dong could no longer remain calm.
She took a sudden step forward, her beautiful eyes fixed on the halberd that exuded an aura of the abyss.
"Super artifact?!"
"It's actually something that surpasses even divine artifacts, a weapon at the level of a god-king!"
Bibi Dong's voice was filled with undisguised jealousy and longing.
Although she is now close to becoming a god, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in her hand is only a divine artifact.
Gu Yuena obtained a super artifact simply because of her ranking on a list?
This is so unfair!
"What a generous reward..."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment.
"If I can use this super artifact, then what is Tang San's Trident of the Sea God?"
Hu Liena, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback by the extravagance of the reward.
She swallowed hard and said blankly:
"The reward for second place is so terrifying, it includes both a secret technique and a super artifact."
"Then... what kind of earth-shattering reward must there be for first place?"
These words instantly awakened everyone present.
The jealousy in Bibi Dong's eyes slowly faded, replaced by a deep sense of solemnity and doubt.
She turned to look at the endless sky outside the window, her brows furrowed.
"yes..."
"Even the Star Dou Great Forest, with the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena in charge and a legion of ferocious beasts that have existed for hundreds of thousands of years, can only be ranked second."
"So what exactly is the number one power on this power ranking?"
Bibi Dong paced back and forth in the main hall, the sound of her high heels clicking on the ground sounding particularly hurried.
"Having been in charge of the Spirit Hall for many years, I am confident that I have a thorough understanding of the situation on the mainland."
"Whether it's the two great empires, those hidden sects, or even Seagod Island, they are all under my surveillance."
"I have never heard of any force that is more powerful than the current Star Dou Great Forest."
"Who exactly is the person who controls the number one power?"
Countless faces flashed through Bibi Dong's mind, but she rejected them one by one.
The fear brought by the unknown made this usually strong empress feel uneasy.
"Like a ghost from the deep sea, mysterious and unpredictable, revealing not a single piece of information..."
"How can there be someone in this world who can hide so well?"
Hu Liena stood aside, watching her teacher's anxious expression, a hint of longing in her eyes.
"I really don't know what kind of powerful person could overpower the Silver Dragon King and become the master of the most powerful force on this continent."
"That must be a person of unparalleled charisma and unmatched talent."
Qian Renxue was also filled with curiosity.
She looked at Qianyu and tentatively asked:
"Father, since you know so much about the Silver Dragon King's background."
"Do you know who this first-place winner is?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone's attention in the hall once again focused on Qianyu.
Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo...
All the devotees and elders were waiting for that answer.
However, Qianyu remained calm.
He did not answer the question about first place, but slowly stood up.
In that instant, an invisible pressure emanated from him, instantly enveloping the entire hall.
Qianyu's gaze swept past everyone and landed directly on Bibi Dong.
That gaze was terrifyingly calm, yet it carried an air of condescending scrutiny.
"Bibi Dong".
Qianyu suddenly spoke, her voice cold and clear.
Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition surged into her mind.
"what are you up to?"
Qianyu stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly:
"From this day forward, I will strip you of your position as Pope of the Spirit Hall."
