Two days later, within Slaughter City.
In a quiet room, Bibi Dong rose from her bed and strode out with firm steps.
She soon entered the portal, returning once more to the scarlet dimension.
On the throne ahead sat a white-haired man, expression cold, voice flat.
"Bibi Dong, are you ready?"
"Of course." Her face remained calm.
"Good." The Asura God inclined his head slightly. "Bibi Dong, if you don't want to die during the ninth trial, remember this—your soul is the root of life. The body is nothing more than a vessel. Whether you can inherit my godhood depends on whether your soul is strong enough."
With a flick of his finger, the crimson space rippled violently. Space twisted, and Bibi Dong's figure vanished.
When she reappeared, she was no longer herself—she had become an infant girl.
"Old Wang, how about we set a betrothal between our children?" a man's voice rang out within an antique-style room.
'What is this?' Bibi Dong froze in shock.
Elsewhere, Tang San stepped out of the passage, emerging once again within Slaughter City.
"Asura, your timing is precise," the Rakshasa God sneered, her figure flashing out of the scarlet space.
"The former leader of the Law Enforcement Team has already taken the throne as the new Slaughter King." After a quick probe, Tang San understood the city's current situation.
"The toxins in Slaughter City have already accumulated to a critical level. Even Tang Chen was affected—what hope do the ordinary people have? Even if I didn't intervene, they wouldn't last much longer. These poisoned souls are nothing but chickens and dogs before me. Wiping them out won't take much time. Still, I'll wait until night. If Bibi Dong appears again, I can't risk being exposed."
That night, in a dark alley—
Puff, puff, puff!
Within the range of his Poison Corrosion Domain, all those touched had the toxins in their bodies detonated instantly, dying on the spot.
Then the Rakshasa Domain unfolded. Corpses melted into sludge, their refined life force surging into Tang San's body, nourishing him.
"Spirit power, soul power, even my body's strength… all improved. The efficiency is terrifying." Tang San's body trembled in ecstasy, a groan slipping from his throat.
After devouring Tang Chen, his spiritual power had soared. The range of his domains had expanded greatly.
'Sinners like you, turning into my strength—waste put to good use,' he thought coldly, glancing at the blood pooling around him before turning away.

On Sea God Island.
Ten full days had passed. Finally, Zhu Zhuqing had absorbed the torso bone of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Her spirit power surged from rank 89 to rank 90.
After a short rest, Yang Yunhai summoned the Thousand Ton Ant Emperor, Tianjun, to perform a sacrificial offering for Zhu Zhuqing's ninth ring.
Because it was a willing sacrifice, there was no risk. Soon, it was complete—and Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation leapt straight to rank 95.
At the same time, she gained her final piece: a wisdom skull.
"As expected of a near 1,000,000-year torso bone, combined with Tianjun's offering. To push Zhuqing straight to rank 95… remarkable," Yang Yunhai said in surprise, then smiled.
A 1,000,000-year Deep Sea Demon Whale King torso bone, a 100,000-year Thousand Ton Ant Emperor wisdom skull, a 100,000-year Thousand Ton Ant Emperor left leg bone, a 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape right arm bone, a 100,000-year Crimson Gold Terrorclaw Bear external bone, a 100,000-year Soft Bone Rabbit right leg bone, and a 70,000-year Clear Sky Sect inherited left arm bone.
Such a complete soul bone set would make anyone jealous. Even without evolution, every one of them was top-tier in both quality and age—and all enhanced her physical strength. Zhu Zhuqing now seemed more ferocious than even an assault-type soul master.
"Zhuqing, congratulations," Dugu Yan and Yiner both said with smiles.
"It's all thanks to Yun." Zhu Zhuqing turned her gaze softly toward Yang Yunhai.
He smiled faintly. "All the more reason to celebrate properly tonight."
The women's cheeks flushed. Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, whispering, "I'll listen to you."

That night, passion surged like waves crashing upon the shore. The sea roared with storm and tide, a sleepless night filled with tender words.
By dawn, the rain had ceased, and sunlight once more bathed the earth. Yang Yunhai brought Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing to Sea God Mountain.
At the mountain's base, the seven Sacred Pillar Guardians were already waiting. Their brows were heavy with sorrow.
"Elders, what is it?" Dugu Yan asked, puzzled.
"Nothing," said Sea Dragon Douluo, standing at the front. "It's just that after guarding this place for so long, our mission will soon end with the completion of your inheritance. Inevitably, we feel some melancholy. Miss Dugu, let's go. Lady Bo Saixi is waiting."
He bowed slightly and stepped aside.
"Alright." Dugu Yan nodded and followed them up the steps.
Yang Yunhai kept silent, following close behind.
Soon, they reached the Sea God Temple. Bo Saixi, pale-skinned and graceful, stood upon the steps with a serene smile.
"Yan Yan, come with me." Her voice was warm, her smile gentle—she would not show sadness before those she cherished.
"Mm." Dugu Yan nodded, following her inside.
Creaaak. With a wave of Bo Saixi's hand, the great doors closed.
Yang Yunhai stepped forward. "Elders, do not be saddened. Perhaps Senior Bo Saixi will not die."
The seven guardians turned to him at once. Sea Witch Douluo spoke quickly, "Xiao Hai, don't deceive us."
"Why would I?" Yang Yunhai smiled. "Senior Bo Saixi has served the Sea God faithfully for countless years, guarding his inheritance and even willing to sacrifice herself to awaken the trials. With such loyalty and unwavering devotion, how could the Sea God bear to let such a follower perish in vain?"
'Are you pointing at me and cursing?' In the God Realm, the Sea God's lips twitched.
"Sea God, his words seem directed at you," said a silver-robed youth at his side.
"I find him amusing," chimed in a silver insect perched on the youth's shoulder, her laugh bright.
"Hmph. That brat is far too suspicious, judging me with a villain's heart. Bo Saixi has been my faithful servant for years—of course I will grant her a proper end." The Sea God lifted his chin, then turned to the youth. "So? Are you satisfied with the girl?"
"She'll do." The silver-robed youth nodded. "Though her space powers came by external means, her talent is decent enough. She's diligent, with firm will and comprehension. Once she inherits my godhood, she should truly master the essence of space."
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I recommend her to you?" the Sea God said plainly.
"Heh. If not for the God of Darkness and Godddes of Light being husband and wife, unable to leave together, would you be so kind?" The youth's childish face carried an old man's tone. "Still, I'll admit—you care for your inheritor far more than that hag, the Rakshasa God."
"Of course. You think I'd be like that old witch?" the Sea God snorted.
The silver-robed youth nodded slightly. He disliked the Rakshasa God as well—her nature was worse than the Seven Deadly Sins.
"Little brother, once you pass on your godhood, we'll finally be free to roam other realms," the silver insect said longingly. Born as the divine Space Worm, she possessed the innate power to traverse dimensions. She loved freedom, but trapped in the God Realm, she had long been bored.
Were it not for her brother taking human form as the God of Space, she would never have remained as the God Realm's guardian of space.
"Mm." The youth's eyes also lit with yearning.

Back below, Sea Witch Douluo whispered, "Could it be… that Lord Sea God will help Lady Bo Saixi remake her body?"
Yang Yunhai shook his head. "I suspect he will forge her a divine soul instead, and carry her to the realm where the gods dwell."
Sea Dragon Douluo sighed. "If so… perhaps that would be a fitting end for Lady Bo Saixi."
