Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.
This is the most mysterious forbidden area on the continent, and also the last paradise for soul beasts.
The clear lake water shimmered, reflecting the golden letters on the sky.
"Seventh on the power ranking, the Martial Soul Empire!"
A clear and pleasant voice rang out.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena stood by the lake, a hint of doubt in her purple eyes.
"Wasn't the Spirit Hall founded by the Qian family?"
"How come the reward went to that woman named Bibi Dong instead?"
Beside her, Brigitte, dressed in a long emerald green dress, explained softly:
"My lord, according to news from the humans, Bibi Dong is Qian Yu's wife."
"That's probably why Tianmu identified her as one of the representative figures."
Gu Yuena nodded thoughtfully, a hint of inquiry flashing in her eyes.
"That's really strange."
"Since Qianyu is so strong, why did he give the reward to his wife?"
What exactly are human emotions like?
For her, who has lived for countless years but has always been in a state of slumber or recuperation, the matter of love is indeed still a blank slate.
However, her attention was quickly drawn to the reward details.
"Having passed the Rakshasa God Trial, my soul power has been raised to the level of a first-level god?"
"This could directly create a first-level god!"
A hint of surprise appeared on Gu Yuena's exquisite face.
"Seventh place on the talent ranking, and the reward is this generous?"
"Then what kind of amazing rewards must be at the top of the list?"
Brigitte couldn't help but sigh:
"Yes, even seventh place on the power ranking is this outrageous."
"I can't even imagine the reward for being number one on the power ranking!"
The Beast God Di Tian, who had been guarding the side, was now filled with fanaticism.
He stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Gu Yuena, his tone filled with confidence and pride.
"My lord, this is a good thing!"
"If even the seventh-ranked person receives this kind of reward, then the top spot on the power rankings undoubtedly belongs to our Star Dou Great Forest!"
Di Tian pointed to the vast forest, then to the Lake of Life behind him.
"In terms of historical and cultural heritage, who can compare to us?"
"In terms of the strongest combat power, my lord, you are at the peak of a first-level god, or even a half-step god-king!"
"Across the entire continent, apart from Qian Yu, who can barely be considered a first-level god and is on the same level as our lord, there is no one else!"
"But even if Qianyu is a first-level god, he is definitely no match for you, my lord!"
In Di Tian's view, the so-called powers of mankind are nothing but child's play in front of the great dragon race.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that could launch a thousand ships.
That confidence came from the depths of his bloodline, the unique pride of the Silver Dragon King.
Without the God-King, who can contend with us!
"Di Tian is right."
"Besides, this Qianyu has no power, so let's not talk about him."
"His so-called Martial Soul Empire is actually controlled by others."
Gu Yuena looked up at the sky, her purple eyes gleaming.
She firmly believed that, apart from the Star Dou Great Forest, no other force was qualified to occupy the top spot on the power ranking.
"If I get the reward for being number one on the power ranking..."
"Wouldn't this give us a chance to restore the true glory of the Dragon God?"
"Even if we can't recreate the might of the Dragon God, breaking through to the God King realm is definitely as sure as Mount Tai."
Gu Yuena slowly clenched her fist, and a terrifying dragon's might surged above the Lake of Life.
"At that time, I will lead the Soul Beast race to conquer the God Realm!"
"Let humanity and the gods know who the true ruler of this world is!"
...
The already suffocating atmosphere of confrontation became even more bizarre.
Let's rewind a moment.
In the square in front of the Papal Palace in Wuhun City.
Bibi Dong stared intently at the man in front of her.
Thousand feathers.
This man was her husband for many years.
At this moment, her eyes no longer held the usual haughty indifference, but were filled with astonishment, anger, and a hint of shame and annoyance at being deceived.
Just now, Tianmu exposed Qianyu's true identity.
Twin Martial Souls.
First on the Martial Soul Ranking, second on the Martial Soul Ranking.
Such talent is enough to crush all of history, and even drive the gods of the divine realm mad.
But Bibi Dong, Qianyu's bedmate, knew absolutely nothing about it!
"Qianyu."
Bibi Dong's voice trembled slightly, a suppressed rage.
Why did you hide it from me?
"You clearly possess such heaven-defying twin martial souls, and you clearly have the strength to suppress the world, so why have you never revealed even a fraction of it in all these years in the Spirit Hall?"
"Do you feel smug seeing me act like a fool, so self-important in front of you?"
Faced with Bibi Dong's barrage of questions, Qian Yu's expression remained as calm as a stagnant pool.
He didn't even bother to look at the stunningly handsome pope.
Qianyu gently flicked off non-existent dust from her sleeve.
Did you ask?
Bibi Dong's expression suddenly froze.
The rebuke that was on the tip of his tongue was abruptly blocked in his throat, unable to come up or down.
Did she ask?
The floodgates of memory opened with a bang, and countless scenes from day and night flashed through my mind.
She saw Chiyu sitting alone in a corner of the garden.
She saw Qianyu silently watching her handle official business.
And what about her?
Every time his gaze swept over Qianyu, his eyes were filled with disgust and disdain; he felt that even glancing at her was a waste of time.
In her mind, Qianyu was a complete waste.
She was a burden that Qian Daoliu forced upon her.
He's a piece of trash whose martial spirit is utterly mediocre.
Since she had already decided that it was trash, how could someone as proud as her possibly care about trash?
Even when Qian Daoliu publicly declared that Qian Yu had a useless martial soul, she only sneered in her heart, "Just as I thought," and then paid no more attention to it.
But now, reality has given her a resounding slap in the face.
If only back then...
If Qianyu had explained the situation back when she first married into the family.
Perhaps everything will be different?
Thinking of this, a fleeting look of regret crossed Bibi Dong's eyes, which was quickly replaced by an even stronger sense of embarrassment and anger.
She is the Pope!
How could she be wrong?
The only one who's wrong is Qianyu!
"You won't tell me unless I ask?"
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her voice becoming a few degrees sharper.
"I am your wife. Shouldn't you take the initiative to confess such a big thing to me?"
"Is this how you treat your husband?"
Upon hearing this, Qianyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing an extremely sarcastic smile.
He shook his head, his eyes looking at a clown making a fool of himself.
Before Qian Yu could speak, Qian Renxue, who was standing next to him, could no longer hold back.
This usually noble and aloof heir to the angelic god was now like a lioness.
Qian Renxue stepped forward and stood in front of Qian Yu.
Those golden eyes burned with fierce anger as they stared directly at Bibi Dong.
"Bibi Dong, how dare you say that?"
"Wife? You dare to utter that word?"
