Chapter 2: The Spirit Hall's Greatest Enemy
"Since you have lived within the territory of the Spirit Hall your entire life, benefiting from its grace, do you also believe that the Spirit Hall is tyrannical and deserves to be wiped out from the continent?"
Hu Liena spoke these words with a glint of coldness in her eyes.
Although the Spirit Hall is the most powerful force on the continent, with significant influence, its jurisdiction is still limited. As long as the two great empires, Heaven Dou and Star Luo, remain, the nobility will continue to oppress and exploit the ordinary people.
Thus, the Spirit Hall seeks to unify the continent and eliminate the nobility!
Despite the increasing rumours about the Spirit Hall in recent years, these baseless claims cannot shake the Spirit Hall's resolve to unify the continent.
The Spirit Hall stands justly, acting uprightly!
Everything is for resisting the oppression of the nobility!
Everything is for a brighter future for the Douluo Continent!
But what did Ye Tian say?
The world is in chaos!
The fall of the Spirit Hall!
The death of his teacher, Bibi Dong!
How could Hu Liena tolerate this?
If Bibi Dong hadn't been present, she would have slapped the brat in front of her to death.
Compared to Hu Liena's slightly angry reaction, Bibi Dong remained calm and composed, watching Ye Tian with a smile.
Hu Liena couldn't help but cast a pitying glance at Ye Tian.
He was too reckless. The Pope of the Spirit Hall is right in front of him, and he's here cursing her death.
He must be tired of living!
It was said that Ye Tian was highly skilled in medicine, and the talent-loving Hu Liena still wanted to give him a chance.
Her beautiful eyes locked onto Ye Tian, and she couldn't help but add:
"The Spirit Hall is mighty, with more soul masters than both empires combined. How could it possibly be destroyed within three short years?"
"I see you have great potential in medicine. Why not pledge your allegiance to the Spirit Hall?"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Tian replied, "Actually, I have considered joining the Spirit Hall…"
His expression was severe. "To be honest, I quite like the Spirit Hall."
This was the truth.
He was a devoted fan of the Spirit Hall.
However, the reality was harsh. At this critical moment, joining the Spirit Hall was practically a death wish.
Bibi Dong, sensing something, asked with some confusion, "Since you like the Spirit Hall so much, why would you want to distance yourself from it?"
Seeing that she had asked, Ye Tian smiled bitterly and responded helplessly:
"Your Holiness the Pope, Bibi Dong, has grand ambitions, daring to confront the two ancient empires and seeking justice for the commoners. She is truly a model for all soul masters, a heroic figure who will be remembered for eternity."
"But…"
Ye Tian's tone suddenly shifted, his expression becoming solemn.
"No matter how deep the Spirit Hall's foundations or how great the Pope's ambitions are, in the end, it will fall to the schemes of the gods."
"This continent is about to descend into chaos. We must always leave ourselves a way out."
With that, Ye Tian sighed.
To be fair, isn't the Spirit Hall incredibly strong?
At least on the Douluo Continent, none can rival it.
Does that mean the Spirit Hall has no chance of unifying the continent even with a cheat-like figure like Tang San around?
There are still plenty of opportunities.
One Tang San alone could never withstand the overwhelming power of the Spirit Hall.
However, the moment the gods intervene, the Spirit Hall's so-called mighty strength will become worthless.
The towering force built over time will crumble in an instant.
Bibi Dong glanced at Ye Tian, somewhat surprised.
She hadn't expected such deep insight from a mere child.
She smiled warmly and said, "The gods have not appeared on the Douluo Continent for thousands of years. The chances of your concern are minimal.
Even if they were to appear, it wouldn't be a problem. The Spirit Hall, too, has the support of gods."
"Both sides have divine support. Why do you believe the Spirit Hall would fail?"
Hearing her defend the Spirit Hall, Ye Tian wasn't surprised.
After all, she had just returned from the Spirit Hall, where she had worked for five years. How could she not have developed feelings for it?
However, Ye Tian understood very well that such emotions were dangerous.
"I won't hide it from you, sister. On the Douluo Continent, there is already a person who has been chosen by both the God of Asura and the Sea God as their successor.
And that person is an arch-enemy of the Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong and Hu Liena were visibly startled upon hearing this.
Especially Bibi Dong, who was the inheritor of the God of Rakshasa.
She knew well the significance of inheriting the positions of the God of Asura and the Sea God.
The young man before her spoke with such certainty that it didn't seem like a lie.
"Chosen by two gods as a successor? How do you know such a secret?" Hu Liena asked, frowning.
Ye Tian replied calmly, "There are currently three places on the continent where godly inheritance exists: the Slaughter City, the Spirit Hall's Elder Hall, and Sea God Island overseas. Knowing the locations of these places of inheritance, is it really so far-fetched to know about the successors?"
"The Elder Hall has divine inheritance?" Hu Liena was stunned and looked at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's expression grew serious.
The three places of divine inheritance were indeed well-kept secrets.
Even she only learned about the Slaughter City and the Angel God in the Elder Hall after becoming the Pope.
As for Sea God Island, she had never heard of it before.
This Ye Tian was not simple.
Seeing her unusual expression, Ye Tian chuckled softly.
"Ah, why bother with all this? After all, it's the Spirit Hall that's going to be destroyed, not us. Let's go inside; I've prepared something delicious for you."
He took Bibi Dong's wrist and led her to the dining table.
Hu Liena, pursing her lips, stepped forward to reveal Bibi Dong's identity.
"This is…"
But Bibi Dong waved her hand, signalling Hu Liena to remain silent.
She had come to the eastern coast to relax, and being mistaken for Ye Tian's sister by this little guy was amusing.
Not only that, this young man seemed to know many secrets. If she could extract even a bit of information, it would be worth the trip.
With this in mind, a slight smile appeared on Bibi Dong's lips as she leisurely stepped into the luxurious villa.
Hearing Hu Liena start to speak, Ye Tian turned with a puzzled expression.
"What were you saying, little sister?"
Hu Liena's gaze shifted. "…It's nothing. Besides, I'm clearly older than you. I'm not your little sister."
"Then should I call you 'big sister'?" Ye Tian asked.
"Teacher..." Hu Liena resigningly looked at Bibi Dong, asking for help.
"Teacher, huh? Then, in that case, I'm your uncle! It's not strange at all to call you my little sister."
Ye Tian rolled his eyes.
As for the title of 'teacher,' he didn't find it particularly strange.
He figured the blonde girl in front of him was probably a newly appointed maid in the Spirit Hall, learning etiquette from his sister.
Hearing Ye Tian's ridiculous logic, Hu Liena puffed her cheeks and glared at him.
Ye Tian ignored her and asked bluntly, "Little sister, I don't know your name yet."
"My name is…" Hu Liena almost revealed her real name but quickly reconsidered.
As Bibi Dong's direct disciple, she was pretty famous.
So, she couldn't give it away.
"My name is Nana."
She rolled her eyes and made up a name, then hurried after Bibi Dong.
Ye Tian sighed. His sister's student was not only well-endowed but had quite a temper, too.
Following the two inside, Ye Tian said, "Sister, wait here. I'll bring you some delicious food."
Bibi Dong, sitting on the couch, took in the luxurious interior of the villa with interest.
She mused, "His family seems pretty well-off. Why would his sister work as a maid in the Spirit Hall?
Being a maid is challenging work. Generally, wealthy families have their daughters served, not the other way around."
