Soul Land: Bibi Dong Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 136: Successfully Allying with Qian Renxue

"Alright, let him in."

Qian Renxue nodded.

Su Mo had been paying close attention to the conversation between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. Bibi Dong knew this, but the only one unaware of it was Qian Renxue.

Su Mo only entered after Qian Renxue opened the door.

"What kind of cooperation do you want?"

Qian Renxue looked at Su Mo with a complicated expression.

Facing him again, her emotions were naturally conflicted.

After all, her mother was now Su Mo's martial soul.

"Sister Xue, it's like this…"

Su Mo ignored Qian Renxue's internal struggle and got straight to the point.

He first explained the fate that awaited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"What? Spirit Hall will attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in four years?"

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is wiped out, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is left crippled?"

"Why would you do this?"

"Why attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect before I complete my plan?"

Upon learning about the sect's future, Qian Renxue turned to Bibi Dong in shock.

Bibi Dong had not mentioned this earlier.

She had only told her that Spirit Hall would eventually face retaliation from the two empires and Tang San—but had left out the details.

Now, upon hearing about the fate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Qian Renxue immediately looked at Bibi Dong in confusion.

She couldn't understand why Bibi Dong would target them.

Attacking the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan made sense.

But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was supposed to be her strongest supporter in securing the throne!

"Uh… Back then, I was simply focused on eliminating the top three sects to intimidate the soul master world. I didn't consider your situation…"

Bibi Dong responded with slight embarrassment.

"…"

Hearing her answer, Qian Renxue fell silent.

She had always known that Bibi Dong didn't like her, but she hadn't expected her mother to ignore her existence to this extent.

It was even possible that Bibi Dong had deliberately sabotaged her plan to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Had she not known that Bibi Dong later accepted her and even died protecting her…

This revelation would have deeply wounded her.

Now, although she still felt a little sad, it was no longer as painful.

"Sister Rakshasa may not have considered your existence back then, but deep down, she still cares about you."

"As long as you tell her that you have the ability to bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect under control, she won't interfere."

"Sister Xue, I need you to stabilize the current Pope and prevent her from making a move against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"And in the future, I will help you bring them fully under your empire's rule—so they will become your strength in unifying the continent rather than standing in your way."

"Also, if you need my help with anything in the Heaven Dou Empire, just ask."

Su Mo continued.

"So this is the cooperation you're offering…"

Qian Renxue looked at Su Mo and finally understood his motives.

It was all for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

She had already held a favorable opinion of Su Mo—he was talented, intelligent, and capable.

Now, learning that he was allying with her for the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only improved her impression of him.

"You don't oppose Spirit Hall's ambition to unify the continent?"

Qian Renxue asked curiously.

From his words, it was clear that he knew of Spirit Hall's ambitions—yet he was still willing to cooperate with her.

That was unusual.

Most people, upon learning about Spirit Hall's desire to conquer the world, would oppose them.

After all, Su Mo wasn't part of Spirit Hall, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was supposed to be Spirit Hall's enemy.

Back when she was still the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, they were her allies.

Even after she took control of the empire, she wasn't entirely certain she could win them over.

"Actually, Sister Xue, I think the same way as you—I can't stand the corruption of the two great empires."

"And only a unified continent can bring true, lasting peace. Spirit Hall is not in the wrong for pursuing this goal."

"I told you before—if not for Spirit Hall, the two empires would have been at war long ago."

"Maybe if Spirit Hall hadn't intervened, the powerful Star Luo Empire could have unified the continent already."

"But in my eyes, the Star Luo Empire is just as rotten as Heaven Dou. Only Spirit Hall genuinely cares about the common people."

"That's why I support you, Sister Xue."

Su Mo smiled as he spoke.

Looking back, despite its flaws, Spirit Hall was still far better than the two empires.

Of course, the most important reason was that Spirit Hall was too strong.

Without Tang San—the walking cheat—there was no force capable of stopping their dominance.

"Good, I knew I wasn't wrong about you!"

"I agree to your proposal."

"I will keep the Pope in check, and you must fulfill your promise."

Qian Renxue's lips curled into a smile.

She was genuinely pleased.

Su Mo's words had struck a chord in her heart.

She had always carried a burden of guilt for her methods in Heaven Dou.

Hearing Su Mo's reasoning made her feel as if a weight had been lifted from her chest.

His words had given her a justification for everything she had done.

"By the way, Xiaoxue, do you know about a treasure in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family called the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"

Seeing that Su Mo and Qian Renxue had reached an agreement, Bibi Dong spoke up.

"The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"

"I think I've heard of it. Why? What kind of treasure is it?"

Qian Renxue asked curiously.

For Bibi Dong to bring it up, it was definitely not an ordinary item.

"This treasure is actually the key to obtaining the Sea God's inheritance. Its true name is the Heart of the Sea God, and only those who gain its recognition can undergo the trials on Sea God Island."

Bibi Dong did not hide anything.

She had already discussed this with Su Mo.

Now that they had earned Qian Renxue's trust, there was no reason to keep secrets from her.

If anything, it would only make her trust them even more.

"What?"

"That treasure is actually the Heart of the Sea God? The key to the Sea God's inheritance?"

Qian Renxue was stunned.

She had expected it to be a valuable artifact but never imagined it was connected to a god's legacy.

"This is the inheritance that Tang San received?"

She quickly made the connection.

Bibi Dong had previously told her that she and her mother were defeated by Tang San in the future.

And that Tang San had inherited two divine positions—one of which was the Sea God.

"That's right. In the future, Tang San used it to receive the Sea God's inheritance on Sea God Island."

Bibi Dong confirmed, then continued,

"Xiaoxue, you must obtain the Heart of the Sea God.

"If you do, Tang San will never be able to inherit the Sea God's power!"

"Don't worry, I will find a way to get my hands on it!"

Qian Renxue immediately agreed.

Even if Bibi Dong hadn't told her, she would have sought out this treasure regardless.

She then turned to Su Mo.

"Su Mo, you want the Heart of the Sea God as well, don't you?"

"Of course. Now that I know gods truly exist, my greatest goal is to become one!"

Su Mo answered calmly.

"I can give it to you, but you have to agree to one condition."

Hearing Su Mo's response, Qian Renxue wasn't surprised at all and quickly followed up.

"Sister Xue, go ahead."

Su Mo smiled slightly. He had already guessed what she was about to say.

Everything was within his expectations.

"Once I give it to you, in the future, if you become a god, I want you to help my mother break free from you."

As expected, Qian Renxue stated her condition.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong felt a surge of joy in her heart.

Although she had always wanted to escape from Su Mo, what made her happiest was the fact that Qian Renxue truly cared about her.

"Even if you didn't ask, I would have done it once I had the power."

Su Mo smiled and agreed without hesitation.

"Then it's settled. Leave the Heart of the Sea God to me!"

Qian Renxue was delighted by Su Mo's response and patted her chest confidently.

…

Qian Renxue stayed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a few more days, during which she and Su Mo spoke about many things.

She was extremely curious about the future, as well as Su Mo himself.

Su Mo didn't hide anything from her and told her everything he could.

When Qian Renxue found out that she would blindly fall in love with Tang San in the future, she was in complete disbelief and refused to accept it.

"Sister Xue, regarding your mother…

"If Tang San never rises, then she won't experience those events, meaning that the current Pope may never realize that she actually cares about you."

During their discussions, Su Mo also brought up the issue of Pope Bibi Dong.

He emphasized that Qian Renxue should not see the Pope as the same person as the Bibi Dong who was now his martial soul.

They still needed to be wary of the Pope.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue felt uncomfortable.

But she understood where Su Mo was coming from.

No one knew better than her what kind of person the current Pope Bibi Dong was.

"Then… will she never change?"

Qian Renxue was worried.

She naturally hoped that Pope Bibi Dong could become like the Bibi Dong with Su Mo.

"It's possible, but once you become a god, I believe it won't be a problem."

"As long as you're strong enough to subdue her, you can let Sister Rakshasa merge with her and try to synchronize their memories."

"In fact, if possible, the best outcome would be for her and Sister Rakshasa to completely merge. After all, they are the same person, and their fusion is the most ideal result."

"But that will be difficult. Since Sister Rakshasa has become my martial soul, even if I become a god, I don't know if I can free her."

Su Mo said with a smile.

Without the experiences from the original timeline, making Pope Bibi Dong awaken on her own would be incredibly difficult.

"You're right. Merging them would be the best solution."

Qian Renxue completely agreed with Su Mo.

Having two versions of her mother was too strange.

It was better for them to become one.

She didn't see it as one Bibi Dong taking over the other—after all, they were both her mother.

"If we only need them to share memories, couldn't we just ask my grandfather for help?"

"If my grandfather helps, we should be able to control my mother in Spirit Hall, right?"

Qian Renxue suggested using Qian Daoliu's assistance.

Merging the two might be difficult for now, but she wanted to find a way to change Pope Bibi Dong as soon as possible.

"It won't be that easy, Xiaoxue."

"At this point, I was deeply influenced by the Rakshasa God's will and had become more ruthless."

"If you try to force it, she may react unpredictably—it's best not to provoke her yet."

"Once you become the Angel God, you'll easily be able to control her. At that point, we can change her together."

Before Su Mo could reply, Bibi Dong's figure appeared and answered for him.

Only in recent years had she come to realize how deeply she had been affected by the will of the Rakshasa God.

Looking back, she noticed that her personality had changed significantly after becoming Su Mo's martial soul.

And in hindsight, even she was terrified of her past self.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

Since even Bibi Dong herself was warning against it, Qian Renxue had no reason to argue.

Thinking about it, she found it rather absurd—her mother from the future was actually afraid of her past self.

This only solidified her determination to follow in her future self's footsteps and complete the Angel God's trials.

Once she became the Angel God, nothing would be impossible.

"Su Mo, once I return, I'll make sure to get the Heart of the Sea God as soon as possible."

"I believe that with your talent, you will definitely inherit the Sea God's legacy."

Qian Renxue assured Su Mo.

She was ready to leave.

She had learned everything she needed to.

"Alright, then I'll be waiting for your good news, Sister Xue."

Su Mo responded with a smile.

Over the past few days, he had successfully allied with Qian Renxue.

Now, he was ready to set off for the Slaughter City.
