The news of Qian Renxue revealing her true identity quickly reached Spirit City.
Upon hearing it, Bibi Dong was furious.
What she found most intolerable was that Qian Renxue had gone so far as to rename the Heaven Dou Empire to the Spirit Empire.
The carefully conceived blueprint of the Spirit Empire she had been planning was exposed and implemented ahead of schedule this was undoubtedly a direct challenge to her authority and ambition.
In Bibi Dong's eyes, the future of Spirit Hall should be dictated by her alone.
She had long been working behind the scenes, preparing to announce the promotion of Spirit Hall to the Spirit Empire at the right moment, and gradually realize complete dominion over the Douluo Continent.
However, Qian Renxue's sudden move disrupted everything, forcing her to deal with this unexpected situation prematurely.
With Qian Daoliu standing behind Qian Renxue, she didn't dare confront her directly, so she could only endure for the time being.
In order to consolidate her own position and suppress Qian Renxue's expanding influence, Bibi Dong had already chosen a new set of Seven Great Sects.
Combined, these seven sects included nearly ten thousand spirit masters, all of whom willingly submitted to her and became a force she could not afford to ignore.
But she knew very well that this was far from enough.
She had to continue strengthening her forces, not just in terms of numbers, but also in the quality of her spirit masters.
She needed to tighten her control over Spirit Hall and ensure that more people pledged absolute loyalty to her.
Far away on the other side, Tang San and his group of five arrived on Sea God Island to undertake the Sea God's trials.
Tang San received the Nine Trials of the Sea God, Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong each received the Black Rank Six Trials, and Zhu Zhuqing received the Black Rank Five Trials.
Xiao Wu's case was rather unique—as a soul beast who had transformed into a human, she possessed greater innate talent than the others, and thus received a Red One Trial.
In his heart, Tang San silently vowed that he would pass the Sea God's trials as quickly as possible, become stronger, and fight against his enemies, Spirit Hall and Yan, to avenge his parents.
"Is this the destined one I've been waiting for?"
That night, while Yan was cultivating, a clear and powerful voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Who?"
Yan's eyes snapped open. The air around him seemed to freeze at that moment he was both shocked and intrigued.
That clear and powerful voice seemed to transcend time and space, echoing deep within his consciousness, carrying an unquestionable sense of majesty.
"Child, I've finally found you."
The voice came again, this time even clearer, as if whispering right beside his ear.
As the words fell, the scenery before Yan's eyes began to twist and change. The once-familiar room was instantly replaced by a dazzling red light.
In a daze, Yan found himself standing in a secret realm.
This place stretched endlessly.
It was filled with brilliant flames beneath his feet flowed fiery currents, yet there was no burning sensation. Instead, it felt as warm as spring and full of vitality.
The air was saturated with a dense fire-element aura that invigorated his spirit.
Just then, a figure in a golden-red robe appeared faintly within Yan's line of sight.
The figure's eyes shimmered with an undying flame, as if capable of seeing through all things in existence.
Gazing at that golden-red silhouette, Yan had a bold guess in his heart.
"You are… the Fire God?"
"That's right. I am the Fire God."
"Then… what is this place?"
"This is my exclusive secret realm—the Endless Fire Domain."
"A secret realm?"
Yan immediately thought of Bibi Dong's Rakshasa Secret Realm.
A divine trial location didn't necessarily have to be somewhere like Sea God Island it could also be a secret realm.
Could it be that he had been chosen by the Fire God?
Yan asked,"Lord Fire God, why have you summoned me here?"
That ethereal voice slowly responded:
"Tens of thousands of years ago, during my travels in the human world, I accidentally lost a Lava Fruit. It was swallowed by an Earthfire Lizard, which then evolved into a Lava Earth Dragon. You killed it and absorbed its energy. You are precisely the destined one I've been waiting for. Are you willing to accept my trial?"
Hearing this, joy surged in Yan's heart.
Only now did he understand why that Lava Earth Dragon had become molten and possessed immortality.
Bibi Dong was undergoing the trial of the Rakshasa God, and Tang San was undergoing the trial of the Sea God. Both of them were his enemies and would become even more powerful after becoming gods.
Although Yan had an unparalleled soul ring configuration, he was still far from reaching godhood.
Inheriting a divine position could greatly shorten the time required to become a god.
"I'm willing to give it a try."
"Very well. Let's first see if you have the qualifications to inherit my divine position."
As soon as the voice fell, a golden-red curtain of light suddenly enveloped Yan.
Immediately after, golden-red curtains of light descended one after another around his body.
"As expected, it is a nine-tiered trial. Congratulations you have obtained the Nine Trials of the God of Fire and are qualified to inherit the position of the God of Fire!"
Yan was somewhat dumbfounded, feeling like he was dreaming.
Compared to Tang San, who had traveled thousands of miles to Sea God Island to participate in the Sea God's Nine Trials, this Fire God's Nine Trials came to him far too easily.
"Lord God of Fire, if I pass all the trials and inherit your position as the God of Fire, will I be able to achieve a breakthrough beyond it?"
"What's this? The God of Fire isn't powerful enough for you? It's good to have ambition, but let's see you pass the trials first. As for whether you can break through afterward, that will depend on your own abilities."
"Alright, I understand."
"Before the assessment begins, let me first explain the rules."
Just as the words fell, a stream of information flowed into Yan's mind.
From the information, Yan learned:
Each of the Nine Trials of the God of Fire was unique, and all had to be completed within five years in order to pass the assessment.
The Endless Fire Domain was the trial's secret realm, but it was not the only place where the trials could be carried out. According to the God of Fire's requirements, the trials could also be completed in other environments.
When undergoing the trials within the Endless Fire Domain, only fire elements could be used all other elements would be rendered ineffective.
Yan didn't know how difficult the trials would be, but he readily accepted.
If he could obtain the power of the God of Fire, his strength would be greatly enhanced.
Killing Bibi Dong, who possessed immortality, would no longer be a difficult task.
"When you are ready, you may enter the Endless Fire Domain at any time to begin the trials."
That ethereal and powerful voice faded away, and the world around Yan grew blurry. In the blink of an eye, he returned to reality.
"So it really was the God of Fire."
Yan was a little excited.
The next morning, he went to find Qian Renxue and told her that he would be going into secluded cultivation for a while.
Qian Renxue had only just revealed her true identity and it wasn't suitable to launch a war right away.
However, she was already making secret preparations and was ready at any moment to begin her conquest of the Star Luo Empire.
Yan's secluded cultivation for a period of time would not affect her plans.
That night, Yan once again entered the Endless Fire Domain.
"Lord God of Fire, I am ready. I can begin the first trial now."
"Very well, then let it begin."
As soon as the words fell, a fiery red curtain of light appeared in front of Yan.
[First Trial of the God of Fire: Enter the Flame Tower personally constructed by the God of Fire. Sit in the center of the blaze for one hundred days, resisting the external fire with your inner flame, and forge a fearless heart. This will temper your willpower and cultivate ultimate affinity with fire.]
